Sky Dream Ice Silkworm: Yuhao, your Mental Power is slowly increasing.
Iced Americano was simpler to make. Even though Wang Dong had ordered first, Huo Yuhao still got his Coffee first.
However, after taking the first sip of Iced Americano and feeling that familiar bitterness spread across his tongue, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's slightly surprised voice began echoing in Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Sea.
Huo Yuhao: How is that possible?
The Mental Power boost from Iced Americano only worked on targets whose Soul Power Level was lower than Boss Xiao Bai's.
Huo Yuhao had already confirmed this with Wang Dong.
Even after Wang Dong drank more than half a cup of Iced Americano, aside from being unable to sleep late at night and pestering Huo Yuhao to stay awake with her, it had no other effect at all. Even when Brother Sky Dream used his Mental Power to examine her, he found nothing.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm: Yuhao, do you think it's possible that girl's Soul Power Level is still higher than yours?
Huo Yuhao: Brother Sky Dream, don't make me laugh. I've consumed two Mysterious Water Pills. Unless...
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm: Unless that girl is an unparalleled genius.
"What is it, Huo Yuhao?"
Seeing Huo Yuhao stop drinking after only half a cup of Iced Americano, then turn his gaze toward him, Bai Ran was somewhat confused.
Bai Ran: Could it be that I added too much ice today?
"Boss Xiao Bai, may I ask what your current Soul Power Level is?"
"Level twenty."
Bai Ran saw no reason to be embarrassed about it.
After all, the semester was almost over. Even if they dragged him to school, he would only be able to attend for a few more days.
"Huh?"
Huo Yuhao rubbed his ears, suspecting that he had heard wrong.
If he remembered correctly, Boss Xiao Bai's Soul Power Level had only been fifteen more than two months ago.
Raising his Soul Power Level from fifteen to twenty in a little over two months was simply not a normal rate of improvement.
"Yuhao, what's got you so shocked? Boss Xiao Bai, when will my Fleshy Peach Coffee be ready?"
Since Huo Yuhao had always been the one buying Coffee before, Wang Dong had not known what Bai Ran's Soul Power Level had been.
Wang Dong: What's so surprising about a Soul Power Level of twenty? If I hadn't been delayed so long absorbing a thousand-year second Soul Ring, I would've already broken through to level thirty by now.
"Almost done, almost done."
Hearing Wang Dong urge him, Bai Ran hurriedly took an eight-hundred-year-old Jasper Creamy Peach that had just been picked out of his Storage Bag.
Huo Yuhao: "Wang Dong, you don't understand."
Huo Yuhao leaned close to Wang Dong's ear and told her that Bai Ran had only been at level fifteen more than two months ago.
"Yuhao, you must be joking. I only increased by one level in over two months, and Boss Xiao Bai is merely a Food-type Soul Master."
Wang Dong clearly did not believe him at all.
Raising five levels in less than three months?
Why not just ascend to heaven?
Even the Trisolarans didn't go this far beyond the limits, all right?
In truth, raising one's Soul Power Level by selling Coffee came with a heavy price as well.
If one day Bai Ran failed to sell even a single cup of Coffee, his cultivation would be stuck forever.
Bai Ran: It might be possible to sell no Luckin Coffee, but it also seems impossible to sell no Luckin Coffee. (Why is your head so pointy?)
After Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong finished whispering to each other,
Bai Ran began preparing the eight-hundred-year-old Jasper Creamy Peach at the stall.
"Boss Xiao Bai, you're using an eight-hundred-year-old Jasper Creamy Peach as an ingredient and only charging 9.9 Gold Soul Coins. Won't you lose money?"
As a model student who listened attentively in theory class, Huo Yuhao recognized the item Bai Ran had taken out at a glance.
"How could I? Besides, I won't put an entire peach into one cup of Coffee. I won't lose money."
Bai Ran: I'm lying to you. There isn't any cost at all. Coffee is my martial soul, and I grew the peach tree myself. (Growing it for one day still counts.)
"Then the cost must still be very high."
Huo Yuhao did not want Boss Xiao Bai to lose money. If he went out of business and stopped selling Coffee, where would Huo Yuhao find another treasure this cheap that could steadily increase his Mental Power?
After drinking Coffee for nearly three months, Huo Yuhao could clearly feel that his Mental Power had increased by at least five percent.
If he kept drinking it, perhaps by the time he broke through to Soul Saint, his Mental Power would be comparable to that of an ordinary Titled Douluo.
"Packed with fruit, overflowing with peach fragrance, and full of chewy fruit chunks."
Bai Ran cut off nearly half of the Jasper Creamy Peach, using Soul Power to peel it, cut it into pieces, juice it, mix it with the Coffee, and finally add the "appropriate amount" of ice.
A simple cup of Fleshy Peach Coffee was ready.
"Uh, so the so-called Fleshy Peach Coffee is just an Iced Americano with peach juice added?"
Picking up this Luckin Coffee Fleshy Peach Coffee, Wang Dong did not drink it right away. Instead, she examined it first.
"Will it taste good?"
She could not tell anything just by looking.
Wang Dong took a small sip.
It was obvious that her last experience drinking Iced Americano had left her with some psychological trauma.
"Wow, I got a peach on the very first sip."
The rich Coffee concentrate blended with the fresh peach juice overflowing with fragrance, producing an effect greater than one plus one.
Large chunks of peach flesh were mixed throughout. With every bite, the juicy, glistening fruit brought more texture and a richer experience to the Coffee.
"Not a bad flavor. It's a shame I'm not feeling well these days and can't drink too many cold things. Otherwise, I'd definitely buy another cup."
After finishing the cup of Fleshy Peach Coffee, Wang Dong was clearly still reluctant to stop.
But remembering that she was currently in a special condition, she could only let out a helpless sigh.
A menstrual period was not an illness but a normal physiological phenomenon for women. Even though this cup of Fleshy Peach Coffee made with Jasper Creamy Peach had healing properties, there was nothing it could do.
Besides, symptoms such as lower abdominal pain were internal injuries.
An eight-hundred-year-old Jasper Creamy Peach could only treat minor external injuries. Therefore, after drinking the Fleshy Peach Coffee, Wang Dong had already vaguely sensed that something was not quite right.
"This—this is way too delicious!"
Just then, an exclamation came from behind Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao.
The two turned around in unison and saw Xiao Xiao eating a biscuit. She still held half a piece in her hand, but it soon vanished without a trace.
"Xiao Xiao, have you never eaten anything good before?"
Seeing Xiao Xiao display such an exaggerated reaction over a cookie, Wang Dong gave her a disdainful look.
What an immature little girl. She didn't even know how to be more reserved.
Suspecting that Xiao Xiao might like Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong seemed a little jealous. Especially since she was on her period and in a bad mood, her tone became noticeably harsh as well.
"Huh?"
Hearing Wang Dong's voice, Xiao Xiao finally realized that she had just lost her composure. Her little face instantly flushed red, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Xiao Xiao, what were you eating just now? How could it make you look so exaggerated?"
Huo Yuhao was puzzled as well.
Even when Xiao Xiao ate grilled fish he had made himself, she would at most say that it was delicious. She had never reached this nearly intoxicated, self-forgetful state.
