After Lu Jiang and Firefly left the Star Dou Great Forest, they arrived at a town.
They had gone so long without experiencing the bustle of ordinary life.
Now that they had suddenly become well-off, they naturally had to indulge themselves properly.
As they walked down the road, Firefly suddenly stepped in front of Lu Jiang and said to him:
"That girl we met before was quite nice."
"She was strong and pretty, too."
Firefly sounded casual, but she had actually been watching Lu Jiang's reaction from the corner of her eye.
Lu Jiang immediately sensed that this was a deadly question.
So he smiled and said to Firefly:
"With you by my side, no other woman could ever catch my eye, no matter how strong or beautiful she was."
"After seeing the vast sea, no other water compares; after Wushan, no other clouds will do."
Caught off guard by Lu Jiang's flirtation, Firefly's face instantly turned red with a puff.
"Trailblazer. When did you become so good with words?"
Lu Jiang merely chuckled, then said to Firefly:
"Come on, come on. It's not often that we have money. I'll treat you to some delicious desserts."
With that, he gently pushed Firefly forward.
As they walked, Lu Jiang began considering his future plans.
At first, he had indeed wanted to pay Qian Renxue a visit.
But he had another purpose for going to the Heaven Dou Empire.
That was to get close to Dugu Yan!
After witnessing Firefly's strength, he was becoming more and more eager to draw cards again.
But if he relied solely on cultivation, it would take many more years to save enough Card Slot Value.
Therefore, the fastest method was to gather some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to feed the system.
And the best method he could think of was to visit that old monster Dugu Bo's medicinal garden and find the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
As for how to get there, approaching that old monster directly was definitely impossible.
After all, he was a Titled Douluo. Tang San had been tortured terribly when he encountered him.
And Lu Jiang did not know how to detoxify poison, so it would certainly be an even more hopeless path for him.
Therefore, he could only set his sights on Dugu Bo's granddaughter, Dugu Yan.
"Trailblazer, should I return to the Soul Card first and save you some Soul Power?"
Firefly suddenly asked Lu Jiang with concern.
Seeing that he seemed distracted, she thought his Soul Power had yet to recover.
However, Lu Jiang said carelessly:
"No need. If we aren't fighting, it won't consume much."
"Besides, you look so cool when you fight. It's worth it no matter what!"
"I will set the seas ablaze!"
As he spoke, Lu Jiang even imitated Firefly's appearance after transforming into Sam.
Firefly's face immediately flushed scarlet.
"Eek! Trailblazer, don't make fun of me!"
Lu Jiang smiled, then led Firefly to the entrance of an upscale restaurant.
"Come on. This is what we're having today."
With that, he walked into the restaurant.
While ordering, Lu Jiang glanced at Firefly and remembered her favorite Oak Cake Roll.
He felt a pang of regret. This was Douluo Continent, so it was impossible for them to have something like that. He could only find a chance to make it for her himself later.
However, at that moment, Lu Jiang's peripheral vision suddenly caught a corner of the menu.
The words "Oak Cake Roll" were written there in plain sight.
He had not expected them to actually have it!
So Lu Jiang ordered two portions.
When Firefly saw the desserts being served, she covered her mouth in delighted surprise.
Then she happily began eating.
Halfway through, Lu Jiang noticed some cream at the corner of Firefly's mouth.
Without thinking, he stood up and reached out to wipe it away for her.
That gesture instantly stunned Firefly, and steam rose from her head again.
Lu Jiang had not paid much attention to it at first. He had merely wiped it away for her.
But when he saw Firefly's shy expression, he could not help but smile.
Just then, a rough male voice suddenly sounded behind them.
It shattered the lovely atmosphere between them.
"Ah, this restaurant's spicy rabbit head really is something else."
"I've eaten it for so many years, but I still can't forget this taste."
Lu Jiang turned around with a speechless expression.
For an upscale restaurant to serve both Oak Cake Roll and spicy rabbit head at the same time.
This restaurant truly was legendary.
But spicy rabbit head...
Fortunately, a certain female rabbit was not here. If she heard that, would she not eat them alive?
That female rabbit was famously soft-hearted.
Lu Jiang sighed, then turned back around, intending to ignore them.
But just then, a scream suddenly came from the entrance.
"Ah!! What are you eating?"
"I'm asking what you're eating!"
The voice was extremely shrill, and it was clearly from a young girl.
Lu Jiang turned to look. Well, speak of the devil.
Wasn't the girl venting her fury right before them Xiao Wu?
Hearing her, the burly man turned around with an unhappy look, his face glistening with oil as he stared at Xiao Wu.
He was still crunching loudly on a bald rabbit head.
"Little brat, what are you yelling for?"
"What I eat is none of your damn business!"
"If you weren't a woman, I'd have slapped you already."
Xiao Wu was so angry that her eyebrows shot up.
Then she walked over to their table, planted her hands on her hips, and shouted:
"Rabbit rabbits are so cute, how could you eat rabbit rabbits?!"
"It's because disgusting people like you exist that there are fewer and fewer rabbits in the forest!"
"For the sake of satisfying your appetite for a moment, you actually slaughtered them so cruelly. You're practically inhuman!"
The burly man had not intended to argue with Xiao Wu, but the moment he heard that, he became furious.
He had been eating peacefully, without provoking or offending anyone, yet he had been cursed out for no reason. Who could swallow that kind of anger?
The burly man immediately stood up, blocking Xiao Wu like a wall. He grabbed her arm and shouted:
"You little bastard, I paid for this meal. It's only natural for me to eat it."
"Stop bothering me."
With that, he shoved hard, sending Xiao Wu into Tang San's arms behind her.
Tang San reached out to catch Xiao Wu, then glared viciously at the burly men and said:
"You have earned the right to die."
With that, countless vines grew from beneath his feet.
They tightly bound the burly man.
First Spirit Skill, Blue Silver Grass Entanglement!
The burly man roared, and bristles grew all over his body.
He erupted with powerful force, snapping Tang San's vines apart.
However, the shockwave also affected Lu Jiang and Firefly beside them.
They had not intended to involve themselves in this matter.
But the aftermath of the battle directly blew the cake rolls from their table onto the floor.
Firefly looked regretfully at the cake on the ground without saying anything.
Lu Jiang sighed, then got up and walked over to Tang San and the burly man to persuade them:
"This is a place to eat. If you want to make trouble, please take it outside."
"Don't disturb everyone else."
However, Xiao Wu was already consumed by rage. Seeing Lu Jiang intervene, she immediately cursed at him:
"None of your damn business. Get lost!"
