Danger and Opportunity Coexist, Raw Coconut Latte

Iced Americano did not taste good. Forget Luckin's—even a Starbucks Iced Americano was still bitter with a faint sour edge.

The reason Bai Ran could drink it without changing expression was simply that he had spent too long being a workhorse in his last life.

One Iced Americano a day to stay awake, and he had gotten used to it.

"Human, you..."

Seeing that the human cub in front of her had already drunk half the Coffee in his hand, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, once again suspecting that something was wrong with her sense of taste, took another sip.

Watching the Three-Eyed Golden Lion spit the Coffee out three times in a row, Bai Ran began to wonder if the Haji-Ni in front of him had some kind of masochistic streak.

Or was this some mysterious behavior where the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was trying to tame the Iced Americano, thus teaching her body who its true master was?

"No, how did you drink something this bitter?

Human, do you not have a sense of taste?"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was convinced.

As for eating the human cub in front of her?

Never mind that he was so small he would barely be enough to get stuck between her teeth.

Especially now that he had drunk a cup of that pitch-black stuff. The moment she thought of that bitter taste entering her mouth, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion completely lost any interest in eating him.

"I do have a sense of taste, big kitty."

"Doesn't feel like it."

As the Three-Eyed Golden Lion spoke, she opened the Coffee cup and deliberately picked out the ice cubes inside to eat.

Though that black juice did not taste good, these little ice cubes were pretty refreshing.

Especially under the blazing sun, stuffing such ice-cold cubes into her mouth.

Even if they had no flavor at all, they were still fun to munch on.

Three-Eyed Golden Lion: Ah... eating ice really was a wonderful thing.

"Big kitty, you're not afraid of bitterness, are you?"

Bai Ran, who had already stopped caring about life and death, had become somewhat unaware of heaven and earth, to the point that he even started teasing the Emperor Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

"Who, who said that!"

If an adult human soul master had mocked her like this, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion would absolutely have made sure they suffered for it.

But being mocked by a human cub, and with it indeed being the truth, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion got a little heated for a moment.

A girl's blush surpassed all else. Er... the current Three-Eyed Golden Lion had not yet taken human form, so she could only count as a female beast, not yet a girl.

Speaking of which, after colliding with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's Eye of Destiny, both sides would exchange memories, and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion would change according to the image of the unforgettable first love in the other party's memories. In a sense, did the Three-Eyed Golden Lion count as a "contracted beast"?

Of course, this was not something Bai Ran could consider right now.

Forget touching the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's Eye of Destiny. As long as he did anything that threatened the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's safety, Bai Ran would be chopped into minced meat by a certain dragon in the next second.

Di Tian: I lied to you. The pieces wouldn't be that big.

"Big kitty, actually, if you add some fruit juice to this cup of Coffee, you can get a very unique flavor."

Opportunity and crisis coexisted. The more dangerous the situation, the greater the corresponding reward.

After realizing that the soul beast in front of him was the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and that she had absolutely no intention of attacking, Bai Ran simply decided to use this chance to go big.

"This thing will taste good if you add fruit juice?"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion expressed deep disbelief.

That said, there were quite a few ice cubes in this cup, and the temperature of the ice cubes was extremely low. If they were used with fruit juice, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion did not even dare imagine how delicious it would be.

In the entire Star Dou Great Forest, there were already not many soul beasts with the ice attribute. Even if there were, they could not condense ice cubes at such a low temperature.

As for that all-powerful Lord that Di Tian spoke of?

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion had barely met her a few times since birth. That co-master of soul beasts was basically in "seclusion" all year round and had no time to fool around with a child like her.

"That's right."

"Human, wait here. I'll go pick a few oranges for you."

Bai Ran: Damn it, I'm already on Douluo Continent, and The Back View is still chasing me.

Running was impossible. Mainly because he could not run away at all.

Although the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was only a little over ten thousand years old, in terms of strength, ordinary hundred-thousand-year soul beasts were no match for her.

What was more, almost all the soul beasts in the entire Star Dou Great Forest obeyed her command.

If Bai Ran ran now, it would be no different from slapping the Three-Eyed Golden Lion in the face, equal to seeking death himself. So he might as well obediently stand where he was.

Every extra second he could stall was one more second. His uncle, after discovering he was gone, would definitely think of a way to save him.

A few minutes later

Failing to find any oranges, Three-Eyed Golden Lion brought back a rather oddly shaped tree.

"Big kitty, what's this?"

The fruit on Douluo Continent differed greatly from the fruit in Bai Ran's original world, so Bai Ran really couldn't tell what kind of fruit tree Three-Eyed Golden Lion had brought back.

"I'm not sure either, but Uncle King of Myriad Demons said it's called a Bobo Coconut Tree. The fruit it produces is full of juice, and it even tastes a bit like cow's milk."

"Raw Coconut Latte?"

In Bai Ran's view, making a Raw Coconut Latte required gathering the two key ingredients of coconut water and milk.

After all, coffee with only coconut water added was called a raw coconut Americano, while coffee with only milk added was called a latte.

He never would have thought that on Douluo Continent, something like "coconut milk" would actually exist.

It felt as if, in the unseen workings of fate, everything had been arranged by the God of Luckin.

Greatness needed no explanation.

Luckin Coffee without Raw Coconut Latte was imperfect.

"What's Raw Coconut Latte?"

For some reason, just hearing the name made Three-Eyed Golden Lion feel like it would taste delicious.

Three-Eyed Golden Lion: No, that bitter juice couldn't possibly have anything to do with being delicious.

"Raw Coconut Latte is a drink made by mixing coconut pulp or thick coconut milk with concentrated coffee extract. It has both the rich aroma and refreshing effect of coffee, as well as the clean sweetness and smoothness of coconut. It's a cool drink especially suited for hot weather."

"Human, why do you know so much?"

"Because I'm a food-type soul master."

"Food-type!"

Three-Eyed Golden Lion's eyes instantly lit up.

Feeling Three-Eyed Golden Lion's expectant gaze, Bai Ran's palms were actually already damp with sweat.

His martial soul was indeed Luckin Coffee, but that relied entirely on the martial soul doing the work itself.

Without using soul skills, Bai Ran wasn't a Luckin Coffee employee, so there was no way he could make an authentic cup of Luckin Raw Coconut Latte.

"Hurry up."

Three-Eyed Golden Lion suddenly roared.

Hearing the anger in the Emperor Auspicious Beast's tone, Bai Ran scratched his head helplessly and said, "Big kitty, at least give me the fruit. How am I supposed to make Raw Coconut Latte without fruit?"

"No need to go to all that trouble."

Three-Eyed Golden Lion's words immediately left Bai Ran utterly confused.

Bai Ran: What the hell? If you want a Raw Coconut Latte, then give me the coconut.

"You. Go sacrifice yourself to him."

Three-Eyed Golden Lion pointed at the dispirited Bobo Coconut Tree and said something that nearly made Bai Ran's brain short-circuit.

Bai Ran: So "hurry up" wasn't aimed at me. Eh, wait—sacrifice!!! To me???
