"Soft on the tongue, straight down the throat—damn satisfying, damn satisfying!"
"Uncle, are you drinking alcohol or coffee?"
In the inner courtyard cafeteria, Bai Ran watched his uncle, Ye Tian, taste the Luckin Raw Coconut Latte coffee with utter seriousness.
Every now and then, he even smacked his lips, as if what he held in his hand was not some milk tea or coffee, but a cup of fine aged wine.
Bai Ran: If I took out a cup of Moutai Latte coffee, wouldn't you explode?
Douluo Continent was so vast that it had all kinds of soul beasts, but soul beasts connected to baijiu were, more or less, a little bizarre.
If he wanted to drink that kind of coffee, he felt he would probably have to mix it himself.
"Ranran, this thing your first soul skill makes—compared with the original coffee, the taste is worlds apart."
Although compared with Iced Americano, the Raw Coconut Latte was not as strong in its mind-clearing effect, aside from refreshing and sharpening the mind, Ye Tian felt his originally somewhat irritable heart instantly soothed, as if he were strolling through a primeval forest, his whole being seemingly purified.
The main effect of the Luckin Raw Coconut Latte was clearing heat and detoxifying, dispelling negative effects.
Negative emotions were negative too.
This was also the main reason why Jiang Nannan, who had clearly still been somewhat depressed, immediately threw her worries to the back of her mind after drinking the Raw Coconut Latte, even smiling again.
The sweet taste only served as a certain guiding effect; the key lay in the Raw Coconut Latte's dispelling of negatives.
Wait, since it dispelled negative effects, then sage mode counted as negative too. Didn't that mean...? Eh...
Bai Ran: Put away your little schemes. Also, what I sell is proper coffee.
"If everything you sell is this kind of drink, business should get better and better."
Before tasting the Luckin Raw Coconut Latte, Ye Tian had still been worried that his eldest nephew, opening a shop for the first time, might suffer a blow from dismal business and lose confidence in becoming an outstanding food-type soul master.
But after tasting this cup of Raw Coconut Latte coffee, Ye Tian's worries were swept away in an instant.
"That's for sure, Uncle."
Bai Ran was not humble about it at all either.
It was not that Bai Ran was too arrogant; it was entirely because he had absolute confidence in the Luckin Raw Coconut Latte, this flagship product of Luckin's.
Aside from people allergic to coffee or coconut milk, normal people should all come to like the taste of the Luckin Raw Coconut Latte.
"Ranran, where are you planning to stay tonight?"
Ye Tian asked with great concern.
Unfortunately, Bai Ran's soul power level was too low, and he was too young, so he simply could not use flight-type soul tools.
Running back and forth between the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard every day was truly inconvenient.
Even with a device that allowed them to contact each other, if Ye Tian happened to be busy making medicinal meals, he might not be able to answer in time.
"I'll stay in the academy dormitory."
By the time work ended at the cafeteria at night, it was already rather late. If he walked home alone at night, his uncle definitely would not feel at ease.
What combat strength did a rank-fifteen food-type soul master have?
Even a food-type Soul Douluo like Ye Tian would be afraid of getting ambushed if he did not have a pile of soul tools for self-defense on him.
"That works too."
At the same time, within the Life Forbidden Zone of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion once again split open a ten-thousand-year Bobo Coconut Tree, took out the fruit inside, and stuffed it into her mouth.
"This isn't the taste."
Although it had coconut fragrance and milky flavor, it was far removed from the taste of the drink called "Raw Coconut Latte" she had drunk earlier.
"My little grandaunt, can you please switch to tormenting a different plant-type soul beast?"
The King of Myriad Demons, king among plant-type soul beasts, stood beside the Emperor Auspicious Beast, his tone carrying a thick helplessness.
In less than a week, the Emperor Auspicious Beast had bitten to death dozens of ten-thousand-year Bobo Coconut Trees, nearly wiping out all members of that species above ten thousand years old.
If not for the Emperor Auspicious Beast's extremely important role in the Star Dou Great Forest, she probably would have long since been chopped into mincemeat by the King of Myriad Demons.
"The taste is wrong, it's wrong."
"Waaah..."
Feeling wronged, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion immediately began crying without the slightest hesitation.
As the Emperor Auspicious Beast's cries rang out.
In the next second, the King of Myriad Demons was simultaneously surrounded by several great fierce beasts, including Di Tian.
Chi Wang: "Demon-Eyed Devil Tree, what exactly have you done!"
Zi Ji: "Don't cry, don't cry. Did the King of Myriad Demons bully you? Tell Sister Zi Ji, and Sister will avenge you." (Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, who made the Auspicious Beast call her sister, was ultimately trying a little too hard to act young.)
Xiong Jun: "Start the fight and I'll follow instantly. My bear paws are already starving for action."
Di Tian: "Auspicious Beast, stop fooling around."
The moment Di Tian spoke, the gathered savage beasts instantly fell silent.
In truth, Di Tian understood perfectly well that the King of Myriad Demons could never have bullied the Auspicious Beast.
If the King of Myriad Demons had truly done anything excessive, she would not even need to cry—Di Tian would have already slapped a Dragon God Claw straight at his forehead.
After all, compared to an Auspicious Beast that could bring a massive overall boost to the Star Dou Great Forest, the King of Myriad Demons really did not amount to much. At most, he was one of the Auspicious Beast's bodyguards.
If a bodyguard not only failed to protect his employer but even caused trouble for them, should a damned bodyguard like that not be fired? Were they supposed to keep him around for New Year's?
"Di Tian, I want to drink a Luckin Raw Coconut Latte. I want it, I want it..."
Seeing that crying really worked, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion could not help crying even louder, even shedding two little pearl-like tears along with it.
"This matter is not up for discussion."
Di Tian refused without even thinking about it.
The other party came from Shrek, after all. Even someone as powerful as the Lord did not dare rashly make contact with that place.
"But I want it..."
The crying child got the milk.
At last, with his head starting to ache from the noise, Di Tian relented and said that the next time that child came to the Star Dou Great Forest, he would bring him before the Auspicious Beast.
Of course, Di Tian was acting much more like a parent coaxing a child.
Putting aside whether the other party would even come to the Star Dou Great Forest again after what happened last time...
Just judging from the lineup the other party had brought to the Star Dou Great Forest last time, that child's background within Shrek Academy was definitely not small.
How difficult would it be to bring him before the Auspicious Beast?
If Shrek Academy and the Star Dou Great Forest truly ended up going to war, and it affected the Lord's grand plan, he, Di Tian, feared dying ten thousand times still would not be enough.
Three-Eyed Golden Lion: Another day of missing Luckin Raw Coconut Latte coffee.
(How about changing updates to 12 noon from now on?)
