Taking Drugs Can't Beat Not Taking Them, Xiao Xiao Loses Control

Sky Dream Iceworm: Yuhao, your spiritual power is slowly rising.

Iced Americano was even simpler to make, so even though Wang Dong had placed her order first, Huo Yuhao still got his coffee first.

However, after he took his first sip of Iced Americano and that familiar bitterness spread across the tip of his tongue, Sky Dream Iceworm's slightly surprised voice began to ring out inside Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.

Huo Yuhao: How is that possible?

The spiritual-power boosting effect of Iced Americano only worked on targets whose soul power level was lower than Boss Little Bai's.

Huo Yuhao had already verified this with Wang Dong.

Even after he had given Wang Dong more than half a cup of Iced Americano, aside from keeping her awake late at night so she came pestering Huo Yuhao and refused to let him sleep, there had been no other effect at all. Even when Brother Tianmeng used his spiritual power to examine her, he found nothing.

Sky Dream Iceworm: Yuhao, do you think there's a possibility that child's soul power level is still higher than yours?

Huo Yuhao: Brother Tianmeng, stop trying to make me laugh. I took two Mysterious Water Pills. Unless...

Sky Dream Iceworm: Unless that child is an absolute genius.

"What's wrong, Student Huo Yuhao?"

Seeing that Huo Yuhao had stopped drinking after only having a small half cup of Iced Americano, and that his gaze had landed on him, Bai Ran was a little confused.

Bai Ran: Could it be that I added too much ice today?

"Boss Little Bai, if you don't mind me asking, what is your current soul power level?"

"Level twenty."

Bai Ran had nothing to be embarrassed about.

In any case, the semester was already almost over. Even if they dragged him off to school, he would not have many days of classes to attend.

"Huh?"

Huo Yuhao rubbed his ears, suspecting he had heard wrong.

If he remembered correctly, a little over two months ago, Boss Little Bai's soul power level had only been fifteen.

In just over two months, rising from level fifteen to level twenty was absolutely not a normal cultivation speed.

"Yuhao, why are you so shocked? Boss Little Bai, when will my Fleshy Peach Coffee be ready?"

Because the one who had gone to buy coffee in the past had always been Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong had no idea what Bai Ran's previous soul power level had been.

Wang Dong: What's so surprising about soul power level twenty? If I hadn't wasted so much time absorbing a thousand-year second ring, I would've broken through level thirty ages ago.

"Almost, almost."

Hearing Wang Dong urge him, Bai Ran hurriedly took an eight-hundred-year Jasper Creamy Peach he had just picked out of his storage pouch.

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 level fifteen a little over two months ago.

"Yuhao, you've got to be joking. I only rose one level in a little over two months, and Boss Little Bai is just a food-type soul master."

Wang Dong expressed that she did not believe it at all.

Rising five levels in less than three months?

Why don't you just fly straight into the heavens while you're at it?

Even Trisolarans were not that overpowered, all right?

In truth, relying on selling coffee to raise his soul power level also came with a huge price.

If one day Bai Ran could not sell even a single cup of coffee, then his cultivation would be stuck forever for the rest of his life.

Bai Ran: It's possible not to sell any Luckin Coffee, but then again, not being able to sell any Luckin Coffee seems a little impossible too. (Why is your head so pointy?)

After Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong finished whispering to each other, At the stall, Bai Ran also began handling that eight-hundred-year Jasper Creamy Peach.

"Boss Little Bai, you're using an eight-hundred-year Jasper Creamy Peach as an ingredient and only selling it for 9.9 Gold Soul Coins. Won't you be losing money?"

As a good student who listened carefully in theory class, Huo Yuhao recognized what Bai Ran had taken out with just one glance.

"How could I? Besides, I won't add the whole peach into one cup of coffee. I won't lose money."

Bai Ran: I'm lying to you. There's actually no cost at all. The coffee is my own martial soul, and I planted the peach tree myself too. (Planting it for one day still counts as planting it.)

"Even then, the cost is still really high."

Huo Yuhao did not want Boss Little Bai to sell at a loss. If he went out of business and stopped selling coffee, where was Huo Yuhao supposed to find such a cheap treasure that could steadily increase his spiritual power?

After drinking coffee for nearly three months, Huo Yuhao could clearly feel that his spiritual power had increased by at least 5% compared to before.

If he kept drinking it, perhaps by the time he broke through to Soul Sage, his spiritual power would be comparable to an ordinary Titled Douluo's.

"Rich fruit flesh, overflowing peach fragrance, lots of fruit pieces you can really chew."

Bai Ran cut off a small half of the Jasper Creamy Peach, used his soul power to peel it, dice it, and juice it, then mixed it with the coffee liquid before finally adding a "world amount" of ice cubes.

A simple cup of Fleshy Peach Coffee was soon made.

"Uh, so this so-called Fleshy Peach Coffee is just an Iced Americano with peach juice added?"

After picking up the Luckin Fleshy Peach Coffee, Wang Dong did not drink it right away. Instead, she examined it first.

"Can it really taste good?"

Just looking at it did not tell her much.

Wang Dong chose to take a tiny sip.

Clearly, drinking that Iced Americano last time had left her with a bit of psychological trauma.

"Wow, I got peach in the very first sip."

The richly aromatic espresso blended with fresh peach juice overflowing with peach fragrance, creating an effect where one plus one was greater than two.

Large chunks of peach flesh were mixed inside. When she bit down, they were juicy and brimming with moisture, bringing even more texture and richness to the coffee.

"It tastes pretty good. Too bad I haven't been feeling well these past few days, so I can't drink too much iced stuff. Otherwise, I'd definitely buy another cup."

After finishing the cup of Fleshy Peach Coffee, Wang Dong was clearly still craving more.

But when she thought about how she was currently in a special period, she could only sigh helplessly.

A menstrual period was not an illness, but a normal physiological phenomenon for women. Even if this Fleshy Peach Coffee made with Jasper Creamy Peach had healing effects, it could do nothing about that.

Moreover, symptoms such as lower abdominal pain counted as internal injuries.

An eight-hundred-year-old Jasper Creamy Peach could only treat minor external wounds, so after drinking this cup of Fleshy Peach Coffee, Wang Dong had already vaguely begun to feel that something was not quite right.

"T-this is way too delicious!"

Just then, a cry of surprise came from behind Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao.

The two of them turned their heads at the same time and discovered that it was their classmate Xiao Xiao eating a cookie. She was still holding the remaining half in her hand, but it very quickly vanished without a trace.

"Classmate Xiao Xiao, have you never eaten anything good before?"

Seeing Xiao Xiao make such an exaggerated expression over a mere cookie, Wang Dong could not help casting her a disdainful look.

A young girl like her really did not know how to show a little restraint.

Wang Dong, who suspected that Xiao Xiao might like Huo Yuhao, seemed a little jealous. Especially since she was currently on her period, her temper was not very good, and even her tone became a bit harsh.

"Huh?"

Hearing Wang Dong's voice, Xiao Xiao finally realized that she had lost her composure just now. Her little face instantly flushed red, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Xiao Xiao, what did you just eat that could make you show such an exaggerated reaction?"

Huo Yuhao also found it strange.

Even when she ate grilled fish he had personally made, Xiao Xiao at most said it was delicious afterward. She had never reached this almost intoxicated, self-forgetting state.
