Are There Any Hot Coffees?

"Your Raw Coconut Lattes."

Having frequently used his first soul skill, Bai Ran had consumed more than half his Soul Power and was beginning to feel tired.

A ten-thousand-year Soul Ring might be powerful, but its Soul Power consumption was no joke.

Still, that made sense. On the path to becoming stronger, one always had to give something up. If a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring had powerful effects while consuming little Soul Power...

What would other soul masters even play for? You would win outright.

"Little Brother Bai Ran, don't you have any takeaway containers here?"

Although the cafeteria had rules against packing meals to take away, there ought to be some kind of packaging for drinks like these.

Besides, rules were dead while people were alive. Other than the obedient lower-year students, upper-year students had plenty of ways around things.

"Sister Tang Ya, don't you have a Storage Soul Tool?"

Bai Ran truly had not considered the issue of packaging.

Mainly because Soul Tool technology had exploded in this era, storage Soul Tools like Storage Rings were nowhere near as precious as they had been ten thousand years ago.

At Shrek Academy, the students might not all have one, but they were close enough.

Now that a customer had brought it up, Bai Ran felt he could order a batch of takeaway bags printed with the Luckin Coffee logo.

"You're right, but what if your coffee spills?"

"I'll seal it with tape for you."

Huo Yuhao, standing nearby, did not think much of it.

It was only a cup of coffee. Couldn't they just carry it in their hands?

"By the way, Little Brother Bai Ran, is your coffee only served iced?"

After putting all three Raw Coconut Lattes into her Storage Ring, Tang Ya suddenly felt a chill coming from her right hand.

Taking a closer look, she discovered that the empty Luckin Coffee cup still contained more than half a cup of ice.

Tang Ya: Just how much ice did he put in this? No wonder it was gone in two sips.

"For now, yes."

"Don't you have room-temperature or hot ones? Little Brother Bai Ran, you don't understand. Girls always have certain days when they feel unwell and can't drink iced beverages."

"Then, Sister Tang Ya, tell me which days you feel unwell, and I won't sell any to you."

As Bai Ran spoke, he somehow pulled out a notebook, looking as though he genuinely intended to write it down.

"Ah, you little brat."

"Beibei, let's go."

Tang Ya spoke as she pulled Beibei away.

"See you next time, Boss Little Bai."

After greeting him, Huo Yuhao picked up the remaining Raw Coconut Latte and turned to leave as well.

Zhou Yi still had class that afternoon. As the class monitor, he could hardly set an example by being late.

"Hot coffee?"

Watching the three leave, Bai Ran put away his notebook and began considering the matter.

When he had awakened his martial soul, it had been an Iced Americano.

If it had an attribute, Bai Ran's martial soul was an ice attribute close to Ultimate Ice.

Hot coffee, on the other hand, represented a fire attribute.

Could ice and fire truly coexist?

Bai Ran's coffee came from his martial soul, rather than being brewed from coffee beans and various ingredients.

In short, he currently could not actively adjust the temperature of his coffee.

If he wanted a cup of hot coffee, he would probably need to find a solution through his second or later Soul Rings.

For example, he could absorb a plant-type Soul Beast with a dense fire attribute and obtain a cup of hot coffee that way.

But during this season, the average temperature was above thirty degrees. Even if he had hot coffee, he definitely would not sell many cups.

If all else failed, perhaps he could simply pick out all the ice before serving the coffee to customers next time?

Tang Ya: Uh, one-third of a cup of coffee? Little Brother Bai Ran, are you raising rats in your kitchen or something?

Bai Ran: I don't know. That's the normal amount without ice.

Inside the Freshman Class One classroom

After two weeks of getting along, there were basically no troublemakers left in the class.

Even if there had been any, their homeroom teacher, Zhou Yi, had already expelled them.

Zhou Yi: Low advancement rate? Just kick out the poor students.

Because their first afternoon class was Old Hag Zhou Yi's, although there was still nearly half an hour before class began, more than half of the hundred-seat classroom was already occupied.

"Yuhao, where did you go at noon?"

The moment Huo Yuhao entered the classroom and returned to his seat, Wang Dong looked him over with a scrutinizing gaze.

As his roommate and deskmate, it was not strange for her to pay a little more attention to him, was it?

If Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had not used his spiritual power to see through Wang Dong's identity as a girl, he might have suspected that something was wrong with this child's sexual orientation.

Of course, although Tian Meng knew, he had not mentioned it to Huo Yuhao.

With Yuhao's emotional intelligence, once he learned about it, he would probably report her directly and tell Wang Dong to get lost to the girls' dormitory.

"I had lunch with Teacher Tang Ya and Senior Brother Beibei."

"So that's all it was?"

"What else could it have been?

Wang Dong, look what I brought you."

Huo Yuhao placed the Raw Coconut Latte in his hand on the desk before Wang Dong.

After being jostled along the way, the Raw Coconut Latte, which should have been black on top and white underneath, had now become almost entirely white.

It looked no different from a cup of fresh milk.

"Is this... milk?"

"Yuhao, are you trying to harm me?"

In just over ten minutes, it would be their homeroom teacher Zhou Yi's class. With that old hag's personality, she would not stop until she had run them into vomiting, or her surname was not Zhou.

And drinking a cup of milk before physical training...

Wang Dong could already imagine how miserable she would be in the next class.

"This isn't milk. It's a Luckin Raw Coconut Latte. It costs 9.9 Gold Soul Coins a cup. If you don't want it, Wang Dong, forget it. I brought it for you out of kindness."

"Luckin Raw Coconut Latte?"

Wang Dong said she had never heard of such a drink in all her life.

Wang Dong: Strange. There's actually something in this world that even the little princess of the Clear Sky Sect has never heard of.

"It's from a newly opened coffee shop in the cafeteria. Teacher Tang Ya and Senior Brother Beibei both said it tasted good."

More than good—it was so delicious they had nearly floated away.

"If that's the case, I really have to give it a proper taste."

Since Huo Yuhao had said so, Wang Dong no longer declined.

However, just as Wang Dong inserted the straw into the coffee cup and prepared to take a sip,

the sound of high heels suddenly came from outside the classroom, like the whisper of a demon.

The previously noisy classroom instantly fell silent.

Unable to take even one sip of her Raw Coconut Latte, Wang Dong could only stuff the cup into her desk first.

In other freshman classes, teachers might turn a blind eye to students eating.

They were only eleven or twelve-year-old children. Everyone understood. There was nothing wrong with them craving some snacks; who had not gone through that age?

But Zhou Yi was different.

Under her watch, let alone eating snacks, even taking a sip of water could earn them a stern reprimand.
