Joyful Transformation, Let's Go Find Some Fun?

Seeing this,

the twin-tailed girl's neck went cold. Sparkle's little face immediately filled with panic, and she quickly flashed behind Xu Yuan.

"Contractor, Little Gray Hair, you have to protect Lady Sparkle."

Sparkle was terrified as she tugged at Xu Yuan's sleeve.

That was right. After obtaining Template Power, Xu Yuan's originally black hair had gradually turned gray.

Of course, it would turn gold again whenever he unleashed his ultimate move.

Nice. He even saved money on hair dye.

Jingliu gripped the Tanhua Sword and stared intently at Sparkle.

"Little brother, move aside."

Jingliu's pair of eerie crimson eyes narrowed slightly, her tone as cold as ice.

Xu Yuan was immediately put in a difficult position.

He had signed Equal Contracts with both Jingliu and Sparkle. Both were equally important—how was he supposed to favor either one?

[Intimacy: 60 (Friendly)]

As Sparkle hid behind Xu Yuan, a familiar information prompt rapidly appeared when their palms touched.

"I said... calm down, both of you."

Helpless, Xu Yuan could only use his ability, Blessing of Abundance—

"Sun and Moon Illuminated by Treasured Light."

Xu Yuan stretched out his right hand, his entire bearing solemn and divine.

The next second, a radiant Moonlight Treasured Radiance rose behind Xu Yuan, shining upon Jingliu's delicate body.

At the same time, the Moonlight Treasured Radiance also shone on Sparkle.

The next second...

The bloody color in Jingliu's eyes completely faded, and the surging negative emotions in her heart gradually calmed.

Sparkle was the same. The twin-tailed girl stopped making a fuss.

In her Mara-Struck state just now, if not for the contract, Jingliu probably would have turned on everyone she knew and begun a massacre.

Sparkle felt her little heart pounding wildly.

"Listen to me—big sister, calm down. As long as I continue Trailblazing, I'll be able to summon her again sooner or later."

Then Xu Yuan turned to look at Sparkle, who wore a pitiful expression.

"Since this is our first meeting, how should I address you? Just Sparkle, or Miss Sparkle?"

"Thank you, Little Gray Hair, for saving Lady Sparkle's life. Lady Sparkle permits you to call me—Sparkle—from now on."

The girl spoke in a mischievous, quirky manner, but...

Sparkle was still somewhat shaken.

That was close. Lady Sparkle had almost been chopped into minced meat with a sword and would never have gotten to see any more fun.

As one of the Masked Fools, that would have been far too tragic.

Besides, Sparkle could tell what was wrong with Jingliu. Wasn't she simply a Xianzhou native deeply trapped in the Mara-Struck condition?

And this contractor, Xu Yuan, was no simple person either. His aura was restrained, concealing a supreme power of Destruction.

Oh no!

Why did Lady Sparkle find this feeling so familiar? It was like... a gathering place for two unascended Lord Ravagers.

Which parallel universe was this?

Unfortunately, it seemed not to be within the universe. Otherwise... Sparkle would definitely take a photo and send it to The Tavern and Aha.

If Aha couldn't get firsthand fun, Aha would be so embarrassed.

An epic tableau—

[Sparkle successfully infiltrated the Lord Ravagers]!

Xu Yuan did not know what Sparkle was thinking, but since he could transform into Firework, he vaguely guessed the timeline.

"Sparkle, I remember you can transform into nearly anyone with almost perfect accuracy."

"You can pass off the fake as real, right?"

Xu Yuan suddenly thought of a solution that would satisfy both sides.

"A thousand faces for a fool, playing games in the mortal world."

"Little Gray Hair, Lady Sparkle can do anything."

Hearing her contractor's praise, Sparkle immediately placed both hands on her hips, her kaleidoscopic beautiful eyes narrowing.

"Alright, then transform into Baiheng first. Big sister, tell Sparkle what Baiheng looked like."

Xu Yuan glanced at Jingliu and added,

Sparkle: "?"

"Lady Sparkle keeps you in her heart, yet you kick Lady Sparkle into a ditch?"

"Interesting. Are you teasing Lady Sparkle for fun?"

Sparkle's pink eyes widened as she muttered softly.

Lady Sparkle will remember this grudge!

At those words, the gentleness in Jingliu's crimson eyes deepened as she looked at Xu Yuan gratefully.

Little brother had always remembered what she had told him.

[Intimacy: 77 (Ambiguous)]

At that moment, an information prompt suddenly popped up. Another 5 points of intimacy had been added.

Xu Yuan and Jingliu's intimacy had already crossed halfway through the Ambiguous stage.

Only 3 more intimacy points remained before 80 (Lovers).

Dawn was close. Victory was just one step away.

Yet after seeing Jingliu's expectant gaze and hearing her describe her close friend's appearance, Sparkle still activated Joyful Transformation.

It definitely wasn't because she was threatened by a Tanhua Sword...

"Ta-da~~ A great transformation!!"

Sparkle...

No, after a flash of pale red light, a Foxian woman appeared where she stood.

She was exquisitely beautiful, with bright, crystalline eyes like two clear blue-green gradient gemstones.

Her features were delicate, radiating a captivating charm.

Her small lips curled slightly upward, revealing a trace of playfulness and vitality, as though she could take flight in a light dance at any moment.

Moreover, the Foxian woman held a Jue Bow in her hand, with a treasure pouch hanging from her waist.

Behind her swayed a long, fluffy white fox tail, light and agile as a feather.

It added a few extra touches of playfulness and cuteness to her.

That fox tail probably felt amazing to touch, right?

Lady Sparkle's Joyful Transformation—

Foxian pilot, Baiheng.

Seeing this, Jingliu's emotions clearly became agitated again. Fortunately, the effects of Sun and Moon Illuminated by Treasured Light were still active.

"Bai... Baiheng."

"Seeing you once is worth more than a hundred medicines."

After taking a deep breath, Jingliu slowly calmed herself and said, "Unfortunately... you are not her, after all."

"Still, thank you... Sparkle."

"Could I ask you to maintain this appearance for a while?"

Before her words had even faded, Jingliu's crimson eyes stared fixedly at "Baiheng" (Sparkle), carrying a hint of plea.

"Of course I can, but afterward, Sister Jingliu, you'll owe me a debt of fun~~"

A crafty gleam flashed through "Baiheng's" eyes. She took the initiative to approach Jingliu, hugged one of her arms, and began acting cute.

Jingliu was temporarily "hard-controlled." Sparkle's imitation was too convincing, making her recall the days of the High-Cloud Quintet.

Was the person before her "Baiheng," or Sparkle?

Jingliu said she couldn't tell. She truly couldn't tell.

As for the fun debt Sparkle mentioned, Jingliu understood the pursuit of the Masked Fools. They could discuss it afterward.

Right now, Jingliu only wanted to cherish this living, breathing "Baiheng" before her. Whether she was real or fake did not matter.

Xu Yuan silently watched from the side, enjoying the drama. At last, he had treated them both fairly.

One was moe and fragile, the other a fun-seeker.

He had it made in this life.

Drama-watching aside, Xu Yuan suddenly recalled a plotline involving Tang San from the original story: the Crystal Dragon Beard Needle.

It was inside Flender's shop, and it was also a very important side plot early in the story.

Xu Yuan did not particularly care that this Dragon Beard Needle ranked eighth in the Hidden Weapons Hundred Solutions of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record.

He only cared about how many Honkai Points he could obtain.

He just did not know whether Flender could remain calm after Xu Yuan turned Dai Mubai into a eunuch.

And at that moment,

the effect of Sun and Moon Illuminated by Treasured Light disappeared. Jingliu also recovered and had Sparkle cancel her transformation.

"Little brother, thank you. And thank you too, Sparkle."

Jingliu's brows relaxed as a breathtaking smile bloomed on her face.

Xu Yuan and Sparkle looked at each other. The twin-tailed girl spoke first. "Let's go find some fun together?"
