After Lu Jiang and Firefly left the Star Dou Great Forest, they arrived at a small town.
They hadn't experienced the hustle and bustle of the human world for so long.
Now that they were suddenly flush with cash, they naturally had to spend a good amount.
As they were walking, Firefly suddenly walked ahead of Lu Jiang and said to him:
"That girl we met before, she was really something."
"Strong and beautiful too."
Firefly said it casually, but she was actually observing Lu Jiang's reaction out of the corner of her eye.
Lu Jiang, being sharp, immediately realized this was a question that could lead to his doom.
So, he smiled and said to Firefly:
"With you by my side, I wouldn't even notice other women, no matter how strong or beautiful they are."
"It's like having seen the ocean, no other water is worth looking at; having seen the peak of Wu Mountain, no other clouds are worth admiring."
Firefly, caught off guard by Lu Jiang's flattery, her face instantly turned "poof" red.
"Trailblazer, when did you become so eloquent?"
Lu Jiang just chuckled, then said to Firefly:
"Let's go, let's go. We rarely have money, I'll treat you to some delicious desserts."
After saying that, he nudged Firefly forward.
On the way, Lu Jiang also began to think about his future plans.
He had indeed intended to visit Qian Renxue at first.
But besides that, he had another reason for going to the Heaven Dou Empire.
That was to get close to Dugu Yan!
After witnessing Firefly's power, he became more and more excited about future card draws.
However, if he relied solely on his own cultivation, it would take many years to accumulate enough slot value.
Therefore, the fastest method was to collect some Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures to feed the system.
And the best way he could think of was to go to the old monster Dugu Bo's medicinal garden and find the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
As for how to get there, directly confronting the old monster was definitely not an option.
After all, he was a Titled Douluo; Tang San had a terrible time when he encountered him.
And since Lu Jiang couldn't detoxify himself, it would surely be a dead end.
So, he could only set his sights on Dugu Bo's granddaughter, Dugu Yan.
"Trailblazer, should I return to my Soul Card first to save you some Soul Power?"
Firefly suddenly said to Lu Jiang with concern.
She saw that Lu Jiang seemed a bit distracted and thought he hadn't fully recovered his Soul Power.
However, Lu Jiang casually replied:
"No need, if we're not fighting, it won't consume much."
"Besides, you look so cool when you fight, it's worth it no matter what!"
"I will ignite the sea!"
As he spoke, Lu Jiang even imitated Firefly's appearance when she transformed into Sam.
This made Firefly blush instantly.
"Eek! Trailblazer, don't tease me!"
Lu Jiang smiled, then led Firefly to a high-end restaurant.
"Let's go, we'll eat here today."
Saying 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, thinking that such a thing couldn't possibly exist on the Douluo Continent, and he could only find an opportunity to make it for her himself in the future.
However, at that moment, Lu Jiang's peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of a corner of the menu.
It clearly had the words "Oak Cake Roll" written on it.
He hadn't expected it to actually be there!
So, Lu Jiang ordered two.
When the desserts arrived, Firefly covered her mouth in surprise, looking overwhelmed.
Then she happily began to eat.
Halfway through eating, Lu Jiang noticed some cream on the corner of Firefly's mouth.
He then stood up as if possessed, reaching out to help her wipe it off.
It was this action that made Firefly freeze for a moment, and then steam began to rise from her head again.
Lu Jiang hadn't paid much attention at first, just casually helping to wipe it off.
But when he saw Firefly's shy expression, he couldn't help but laugh.
Just then, a rough, booming voice suddenly came from behind them.
Shattering the pleasant atmosphere between them.
"Ah, the spicy rabbit heads at this place are truly amazing."
"I've been eating them for so many years, and I still can't forget this taste."
Lu Jiang turned his head to look with a speechless expression.
To have both oak cake rolls and spicy rabbit heads in such a high-class restaurant.
This restaurant was quite legendary.
However, spicy rabbit heads...
It was fortunate that a certain female rabbit wasn't here, otherwise, if she heard this, wouldn't she eat them alive?
That female rabbit was known for her saintly heart.
Lu Jiang sighed, then turned away, not intending to pay them any mind.
But at that moment, he suddenly heard a scream from the entrance.
"Ah!! What are you eating?"
"I'm asking you what you're eating!"
The voice was extremely sharp, and it was clear it came from a young girl.
Lu Jiang looked back, and sure enough, speak of the devil.
The one in front of him, venting her anger, was none other than Xiao Wu.
The burly man heard her and turned around with a displeased look, his face greasy.
He was still chewing on a rabbit head.
"Brat, what are you yelling about?"
"What I eat is none of your damn business!"
"If you weren't a girl, I would have slapped you long ago."
Xiao Wu's eyebrows shot up in anger.
Then she walked over to the group's table, hands on her hips, and shouted:
"Bunnies are so cute, how can you eat bunnies!"
"It's because of disgusting people like you that there are fewer and fewer rabbits in the forest!"
"To satisfy your momentary cravings, you cruelly slaughter them. It's inhumane!"
The burly man, who hadn't intended to argue with Xiao Wu, became enraged upon hearing this.
He was just trying to eat a meal, bothering no one and provoking no one, and then he was cursed at for no reason. Who could swallow that?
The burly man then stood up directly, blocking Xiao Wu like a wall, and grabbed her arm, shouting:
"You little punk, it's only right that I pay to eat."
"Don't bother me."
With that, he gave her a forceful push, sending Xiao Wu into Tang San's arms behind her.
Tang San reached out and caught Xiao Wu, then glared menacingly at the burly men and said:
"You are courting death."
With that, countless vines grew from 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.
A powerful aura erupted, snapping Tang San's vines.
However, this tremor also affected Lu Jiang, who was nearby.
They hadn't intended to get involved in this matter.
But the aftermath of the fight directly blew the cake roll on their table to the ground.
Firefly looked at the cake on the ground with some regret, remaining silent.
Lu Jiang sighed, then stood up and walked to Tang San and the burly man, trying to mediate.
"This is a place to eat. If you want to cause trouble, please take it outside."
"Don't disturb others."
However, Xiao Wu was already consumed by rage. Seeing Lu Jiang trying to intervene, she directly cursed at him:
"None of your business, get lost!"
