"Fleshy Peach Coffee?"

Wasn't it just an eight-hundred-year Jasper Creamy Peach mixed with an Iced Americano?

Xuan Zi had eaten Jasper Creamy Peaches before. They just tasted like ordinary peaches, and they were not especially juicy either. They certainly could not gush like a faucet.

As for Iced Americanos, Xuan Zi had drunk those too. They were bitter as hell and slightly astringent.

Would mixing the two really not make things worse?

Peaches were edible to begin with, but once they were juiced and added to an Iced Americano, that was another matter.

Still, the juice squeezed from a Jasper Creamy Peach was generally a faint pink.

Once mixed into the coffee, it vaguely gave off a girlish feel, as though the evil Iced Americano had been dressed up to look drinkable.

Xuan Zi thought, How bad can it possibly taste? It's Kid Bai's heartfelt effort, after all. I'll give it a try.

"Ugh!"

You never knew until you drank it, but one sip was enough to shock him.

Peach juice on its own was actually very sweet, especially since many vendors loved adding sugar to it.

The first sip was fragrant, the second was cloying, and by the third, you would be vomiting all over the floor. After drinking it, your mouth would also be left with an unpleasant sticky feeling.

But after peach juice fused with an Iced Americano, its sweetness not only neutralized the bitterness, but also brought out the peach's own fruity flavor. It was incredibly refreshing.

Though both were delicious, Raw Coconut Latte and Fleshy Peach Coffee were quite different.

After all, one was a flavored latte, while the other was fruit coffee. They were not really in the same category.

If Xuan Zi had to rate the two coffees, he would still give Luckin Raw Coconut Latte 2.5 more points.

Besides its coconut flavor, Raw Coconut Latte also had a milky taste, making it clearly richer than Fleshy Peach Coffee.

Of course, during the height of summer, Xuan Zi would still rather choose a fruity iced Americano like Fleshy Peach Coffee.

"Huh? This coffee can actually heal external injuries."

After finishing the Fleshy Peach Coffee, Xuan Zi discovered that the inflamed nail fold he had accidentally bumped earlier had somehow healed.

With Xuan Zi's Soul Power Level, he only needed to wait a few hours for it to recover on its own.

But judging by its healing ability, at least eighty percent of that eight-hundred-year Jasper Creamy Peach's effects had been brought out.

Even if one directly ate that eight-hundred-year Jasper Creamy Peach, at most thirty percent of its healing effect could be utilized. The remaining seventy percent of its energy would go to waste.

Wait, didn't that mean Kid Bai was a Food-type Soul Master as talented as his uncle, or perhaps even more talented?

And one worked in food service, while the other worked in tea beverages.

They were simply unbeatable.

"Kid Bai, you can perfectly fuse the effects of a Jasper Creamy Peach with your coffee. How exactly did you do it?"

Xuan Zi was visibly excited. The way he looked at Bai Ran was as though he were looking at some rare treasure.

"As a Food-type Soul Master, perfectly developing the effects of food isn't something that comes naturally?"

Bai Ran thought, I don't know. I just learned it from my uncle by messing around.

There was no way he could reveal that he could see material prompts.

"Kid Bai, try making something with this."

After seeing Bai Ran's abilities, Xuan Zi stopped holding back and took that ten-thousand-year Rainbow Watermelon Soldier out of his Storage Bag.

"Damn it, old man Xuan, didn't you say you didn't have any Soul Beasts left?"

Seeing such a huge watermelon, Bai Ran truly wanted to curse him out.

If he had not displayed his ability to prepare Luckin Coffee on the spot, then Xuan Zi had been planning to secretly eat it all by himself, hadn't he?

"I originally didn't want to take it out because it's a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast. Kid Bai, see if you can handle it."

With Bai Ran's current Soul Power Level, even if it were made into his Second Martial Soul Ring, he would not be able to absorb it.

But if he used it to make coffee, with such a huge watermelon, wouldn't he be able to drink to his heart's content?

"I'll give it a try."

Under Xuan Zi's Soul Power protection,

Bai Ran reached his hand toward the ten-thousand-year Rainbow Watermelon Soldier.

The prompts slowly appeared.

Fifteen-thousand-year Rainbow Watermelon Soldier. (Premium crafting material) Recommended Luckin Coffee product: Zhuama Watermelon Latte. This product has been discontinued. No preparation method is currently available.

Bai Ran thought, Fuck!

"Elder Xuan, this Soul Beast is a bit too old. I currently can't turn it into coffee."

Rather than forcing himself, he might as well let himself off the hook.

Bai Ran would not choose to do things he could not accomplish.

"All right, Kid Bai. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come find this old man at Sea God Pavilion. Elder Xuan will grant whatever you ask."

Back when Ye Tian had studied at Shrek Academy, Xuan Zi had failed to invest in him in time. As a result, he now had to honestly line up for meals like the other Inner Academy disciples.

Now that he saw the same potential in Bai Ran, Xuan Zi felt it was time to become an angel investor.

When other Shrek Academy students went out under Xuan Zi's lead, they might trigger some strange pattern of murder.

But if he went out with a chef, even if Xuan Zi himself suddenly dropped dead outside, he probably would not let the chef get hurt.

"Then the next time you go to the Star Dou Great Forest, remember to bring me some higher-quality fruit-type Soul Beasts."

"Oh, and take your thousand-year Toxic Miasma Sour Orange Tree with you. Leaving it here will only sting my eyes."

Why would Bai Ran keep a fruit that Luckin Coffee had judged fit only for making lemonade for the Snow King next door?

His Martial Soul was not Mixue Ice Cream & Tea. (His First Martial Soul was not, but his Second Martial Soul would be soon enough.)

Turning back, Bai Ran looked at the three fruit-type plant Soul Beasts Xuan Zi had left behind.

With the measures Xuan Zi had left behind, combined with the gentle nature of these plant-type Soul Beasts, they generally would not take the initiative to attack Soul Masters.

Bai Ran successfully stored all three plants in the Storage Bag capable of holding living creatures, planning to take them out when needed.

Come to think of it, today seemed to be the academy's annual Freshman Competition.

What should he do if he wanted to go watch the excitement but also wanted to sell coffee to improve his cultivation?

Hmm, how about getting a little cart and delivering Luckin Coffee outside the venue?

He could conveniently add the two new Luckin products to the menu.

Luckin Fleshy Peach Coffee: Can heal minor injuries, such as inflamed nail folds. Luckin Pomelo C Americano: Grants basic illusion-piercing ability for thirty minutes. Price: 9.9 Gold Soul Coins for a standard cup, 19.9 Gold Soul Coins for a large cup, 29.9 Gold Soul Coins for an extra-large cup.

Don't ask why he was not using the seven-hundred-year Phantom Blueberry Matrix to make coffee. The product had been discontinued, and a new formula was on the way. Please look forward to it.

The idea was good, but pushing a cart around was a little difficult for a six-year-old child.

At a time like this, Bai Ran needed to seek out his all-powerful uncle, Ye Tian.

Of course, he definitely could not set up shop with his uncle.

Otherwise, as they kept selling coffee, it would probably turn into, "Master Ye, one serving of fried noodles!" or "Master Ye, a bowl of fried rice!"
