Specially Made Milk Tea

Why? Why?! Why!!

Gu You jolted awake, cold sweat streaming down his body, his hands trembling.

Just now... what was that sound?

Gu You silently looked at his hands.

"You're awake. When do you plan to leave?" Yun Ming appeared beside Gu You at some point.

"Mm, in a few days. I want to research something first."

"What?" Yun Ming was somewhat curious.

"Hehe! Something great for making a fortune."

Special Soul Beast milk... spiritual herbs that could temporarily increase cultivation speed, of one-year quality, and then...

After fiddling around for quite a while, Gu You truly did not know how to make milk tea. Still, he could make an imitation first and taste it.

Na'er was still at a roadside stall nearby, eating roast duck with grease all over her mouth.

For some reason, ever since meeting Na'er, his appetite had indeed gotten smaller.

"Uh, this should be drinkable, right?" Gu You looked at the pale green liquid with some hesitation. His idea was to combine spiritual herbs to create milk teas with different effects. For example, ones that could increase Soul Power after being drunk. Those would definitely sell well, but looking at the quality of this one, he did not really dare drink it.

"Forget it. I made it myself." Gu You took a big gulp.

Bleurgh!

He had forgotten to add sugar. No wonder it was so bitter.

And as for tapioca pearls, jelly would do as a substitute. Whatever. This was only the experimental stage anyway.

"Gu You, what are you doing?" Na'er's voice sounded from behind him. Gu You immediately perked up his ears. A test subject—hadn't one just arrived?

After adding sugar, Gu You put a lid on the cup to keep Na'er from being too frightened by the green liquid to drink it.

"Ahem! My dear little sister, you must be sick of eating meat, right? Here, have a taste of this top-quality drink personally made by your brother." Gu You put on a kind expression.

"A drink?" Na'er looked puzzled. After taking the cup, she sniffed it and frowned.

She took a small sip, squeezed her eyes shut, and only looked at Gu You again after a long while.

Gu You's gaze shifted evasively.

"It's delicious." Na'er smiled, but the corners of her mouth kept twitching.

Holy shit!

Did the Silver Dragon King have such heavy tastes?

"Really! Brother, if you don't believe me, have a taste." Na'er emphasized her words and even called him brother.

Did adding sugar change the flavor? Gu You scratched his head and took a sip. His face immediately turned green. It was bitter and astringent. So Na'er had learned how to lie.

Bleurgh!

"No more research, no more experiments." Gu You calmed the churning in his chest and said slowly.

"Fine! I treated you like my sister, yet you dared lie to me!" Gu You said fiercely.

Na'er shot back, "Hmph! I'm going to tell Master's wife that you bullied me."

"Hey! Don't, don't, I was wrong..."

Gu You's face darkened. Na'er had actually set her sights on his red card. He had no choice but to give it to her. If Ya Li found out about what had happened today, hiss—Gu You sucked in a cold breath. It was only money. He could give it to her; it was nothing important. Gu You kept consoling himself inwardly.

After sending Na'er back, Gu You headed to the Spirit Pagoda with an uneasy heart to visit the master he had not heard from in three years.

Thinking of Leng Yaozhu's temper, Gu You still felt somewhat panicked. Once they met and she learned that he had become Ya Li and Yun Ming's godson, Leng Yaozhu would not skin him alive, would she? But he had to see her either way. After all, a teacher for a day, a father for life... ah, no, that seemed to be mother...

Upon entering the Spirit Pagoda, Gu You took out the platinum card Leng Yaozhu had given him before.
