Little Guga Wants to Open a Shop

"It's nothing, it's a normal reaction!" Jiang Lan waved her short hand without even turning her head. She had already taken the new medicinal herbs from Doro and was preparing to start refining the fifth batch of Pill. "They'll be fine once they wake up. Sister Lingling, could you help me drag them aside so they don't block my way while I refine the next batch?"

Ye Lingling opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but thinking of all the amazing things Jiang Lan had shown over the past two months, she ultimately chose to believe him.

She dragged Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan one by one to the porch by the courtyard and made them sit against the pillars.

Dugu Yan's head rested on Dugu Bo's shoulder, while Dugu Bo leaned against a pillar with his head tilted to the side. The grandfather and granddaughter's postures were remarkably similar, and their expressions gradually changed from pain to peace, making them look like nothing was wrong.

Ye Lingling returned to the alchemy furnace and helped Jiang Lan hand over the medicinal herbs.

When the seventh furnace was opened, an extremely rich and exotic fragrance wafted out of the furnace, filling the entire courtyard.

"Not bad." Jiang Lan took out seven golden pills from the alchemy furnace.

Jiang Lan handed a golden Pill to Ye Lingling: "Sister Lingling, this is for you. After you take it, your strength will increase by leaps and bounds."

Ye Lingling swallowed hard, looked at Jiang Lan and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Confirmed!" Jiang Lan stood on tiptoe and held the golden Pill in front of Ye Lingling. Her small face, streaked with black and white from the furnace ash, was full of confidence.

The Pill spun in his palm, shimmering with golden light, and fine cloud-like patterns appeared on its surface. A sweet fragrance wafted into his nostrils, instantly refreshing him.

Ye Lingling looked at the Pill, then at Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, who were still unconscious under the eaves, and pursed her lips beneath her veil.

To be honest, she was a little panicked.

The scene of those two black Pill knocking them out was still vivid in her mind, and the two black tear stains on Dugu Yan's face had not yet faded.

But when she met Jiang Lan's bright eyes, there was not a trace of mischief in them, only full of expectation and seriousness.

Ye Lingling felt a little guilty for her hesitation, especially towards her little master who had been getting up before dawn every day for the past two months to teach her palm techniques.

She reached out and took the Pill from Jiang Lan's palm.

The Pill felt warm to the touch, like a pebble warmed by the sun, heavy and giving one a sense of inexplicable peace.

She took a deep breath, removed her black veil, revealing her aloof and stunningly beautiful face, and gently placed the Pill into her mouth.

The Pill melted instantly upon entering the mouth, a warm current sliding down the throat.

The next second, Ye Lingling also fainted.

"Young people are so lucky, they can fall asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow," Jiang Lan couldn't help but sigh upon seeing this.

Doro, standing to the side, nodded in complete agreement with Jiang Lan's words.

The next day, in the morning.

"Wasn't I in the yard?"

Dugu Bo woke up to find himself in his bedroom, and said somewhat confusedly.

Subconsciously checking his physical condition, Dugu Bo froze.

He is now level 94 and his Martial Soul Evolution has evolved from the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor to the Jade Phosphorous Venom Dragon.

"It must be because of that Pill!" Dugu Bo muttered to himself.

"Ah--"

Just then, Dugu Yan's scream rang out.

Dugu Bo quickly got off the bed and went to Dugu Yan's room.

Upon entering the room, Dugu Bo saw Dugu Yan sitting on the bed in disbelief.

"What's wrong?"

"Grandpa, my Martial Soul Evolution into the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor! And my level has reached level 40."

Dugu Yan said to her grandfather with great excitement.

After thinking about it carefully, she figured out the reason.

It must have been Jiang Lan's Pill that caused her Martial Soul to evolve.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Jiang Lan rushed in and asked Dugu Yan was on the bed, about her condition.

Ye Lingling Ye Lingling followed behind, looking at Dugu Yan with a worried expression.

When Dugu Yan saw Jiang Lan appear at the door, she jumped right out of bed and scooped the little one in the Penguin Suit into her arms.

Her movements were so fast that Jiang Lan didn't even have time to react before she felt her entire face being pressed against something soft again. The hood of her Penguin Suit was squeezed up and pulled down onto her face, and everything went black.

"Little Guga--!" Jiang Lan's muffled voice came from inside her hat. Her two short legs kicked wildly in the air, and the orange flippers of her Penguin Suit made a loud slapping sound. "Sister Yanyan, let me go! I can't breathe!"

Dugu Yan showed no intention of letting go; instead, she hugged him even tighter.

She lowered her head and planted several loud kisses on Jiang Lan's small face, which was squeezed out of shape, the smacking sounds echoing in the room.

Dugu Yan kissed him as she said, "Little Guga, you are my lucky star! My Martial Soul Evolution! Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor! Level 40! It's all thanks to that Pill you gave me!"

Jiang Lan finally managed to struggle free from her embrace, her hat askew, several lipstick marks on her cheek, and her whole face flushed red to the roots of her ears.

Jiang Lan frantically clutched her hat and shrank back, until she reached the corner of the bed, her little hands covering her face. Her voice trembled as she cried out, "Men and women shouldn't touch each other! My Mom Bo Saixi, said men and women shouldn't touch each other!"

Dugu Yan was amused by his appearance and laughed out loud. She reached out to pinch his cheek, but Jiang Lan nimbly shrank his neck and dodged it.

Ye Lingling stood at the door and couldn't help but chuckle softly when she saw Jiang Lan's embarrassed appearance with lipstick marks all over her face.

Dugu Bo stood by the bed, watching his granddaughter cry and laugh at the same time, smiled, and said nothing.

Thinking of Jiang Lan's help, Dugu Bo's tone was unusually gentle. "Jiang Lan, you've helped your teacher and Yanyan so much, what gift do you want? Just ask for anything you can get."

Jiang Lan tilted her head and thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up. "Master, I want to open a shop! Can you give me a shop? Preferably one near the palace, with high foot traffic and good business!"

Dugu Bo frowned slightly upon hearing this, not because he was reluctant to part with it, but because he had never expected this answer.

He thought Jiang Lan would want something else, but it turned out the kid wanted a shop instead.

"You're opening a shop? What will you sell?" Dugu Bo asked curiously.

"You're opening a shop? What will you sell?" Dugu Bo asked curiously.

"Milk tea!" Jiang Lan jumped out from behind Ye Lingling, dusted off her Penguin Suit, puffed out her chest, and said matter-of-factly, "I've got it all figured out. The name of the Pill will be Honey Snow Ice City. I'll make the milk tea, and Doro will be the manager. We'll specialize in selling all kinds of milk tea, and we're sure to make tons of money!"

In fact, he discussed it with Doro and planned to dig into the royal treasury.

"Honey Snow Ice City?" Dugu Bo read the strange name aloud, his brows furrowing.

He'd dealt with all sorts of poisonous plants, insects, and drugs for decades, but this was the first time he'd ever heard of the word "milk tea."

"What is milk tea? Is it made by boiling milk and tea together? Can it taste good?"
