In Douluo Continent, what is a martial soul? It's like Luckin Coffee.

Chapter 218 Princess Jiu Jiu, Boss Xiao Bai isn't a bad person

This is practically charity work!

Princess Jiu Jiu held an ice cream cone in her hand, her face filled with disbelief.

Jiu Jiu: When did copper soul coins become so powerful in terms of purchasing power?
Prices like these don't feel like they're in the heart of Xingluo City at all.

"Give me another ice cream."

Compared to lemonade, Princess Jiujiu instantly fell in love with the sweetness and coolness of ice cream.

Although she was a princess of the Star Luo Empire, what good things hadn't she eaten in a long time?

But a cold dessert that costs three copper soul coins and is so delicious is something I've never encountered before.

Putting the price aside, just the taste alone makes her absolutely willing to spend some time buying a few servings if she ever happens to pass by this shop. (What?! This princess spent half an hour waiting in line, and by the time she finally got in, the ice cream was already sold out!)

……

You're saying she's a princess?

Following the direction Huo Yuhao pointed, Bai Ran saw Xu Jiujiu holding a glass of lemonade in her left hand and two ice cream cones in her right.

However, in Bai Ran's eyes, the other party at this moment did not look like a princess at all. Wasn't she just a pure little glutton?

What kind of princess eats so rudely, without any royal etiquette?

Xu Jiujiu: What, you're not convinced?
"Uh……"

Huo Yuhao was somewhat surprised to see Princess Jiujiu's slightly flustered appearance (referring to sticking out her tongue to lick the ice cream).

Huo Yuhao: I can only say that the tea and desserts made by Boss Xiaobai were too delicious and just suited Princess Jiujiu's taste.

"Yuhao, you must be joking. She doesn't look like a princess at all."

To be honest, she is indeed quite beautiful, and has a great figure.

She could be considered one of the top five women Bai Ran had ever met.

You ask who the top three are?

People of the same age tend to like each other more. (If you like little girls, you like little girls.)
"Boss Xiaobai, keep your voice down, don't let the other person hear you."

Upon hearing Bai Ran's words, Huo Yuhao was so frightened that he immediately tried to cover his mouth.

Huo Yuhao: Please, just offending the White Tiger Duke's Mansion has already caused your shop to almost lose all its business. If you offend Princess Jiujiu now, you might as well forget about doing business in Xingluo City in the future.

Soul Masters have extraordinary senses, so even though they were several meters apart and their voices weren't loud, Bai Ran's words still reached Princess Jiu Jiu's ears.

He was surprised to hear that the shopkeeper doubted his identity.

Xu Jiujiu frowned and then walked towards the two people.

Upon seeing this, Wang Dong, who had been standing to the side, sat down directly next to Huo Yuhao.

As a result, there was only one empty seat left next to Bai Ran.

Bai Ran: Wang Dong, how can you be so selfish!

Princess Jiu Jiu didn't seem to care about this. After sitting down next to Bai Ran, she just gave Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong a meaningful look.

Xu Jiujiu: That's strange. Is the atmosphere at Shrek Academy really that open? Speaking of which, my brother also had someone he liked back in Shrek Academy, but he never got Father's approval. Could it be that the person he liked back then was also a man?

Xu Jiawei (Xu Jiujiu's elder brother, the current emperor of the Star Luo Empire): ? ? ?

……

Bai Ran, who had just called someone a little glutton, now seemed a little guilty.

"Are you the manager of this store?"

She appeared quite reserved when she saw the young boy next to her.

For a long time, I felt like laughing.

Princess Jiujiu: Shy little boys like this are the most interesting.

"I, I am."

Despite her inner calm, Bai Ran still outwardly appeared nervous.

After all, being too calm might arouse suspicion from the other party.

"May I ask your name?" Looking at Bai Ran's face, Xu Jiujiu began to recall the Soul Battle Tournament of the past few days.

It seems that this particular student is not among the outstanding trainees.

Or perhaps the other person was a substitute from a top academy, and because they had never played, she had no recollection of them for a long time.

To be able to become friends with Huo Yuhao, this person must be an extremely outstanding individual.

After all, only geniuses can become friends.

If the gap between the two is too large, they will eventually go their separate ways.

"Bai Ran".

Bai Ran didn't hide anything.

One is his name, which almost everyone, including Huo Yuhao, knows.

There's absolutely no need to lie to Huo Yuhao.

Furthermore, Bai Ran did not join the Sun Moon Royal Academy, nor was he selected for the Sun Moon Royal Team roster.

Unless someone is sent to the Sun Moon Royal Academy to inquire, no one would know who Bai Ran is.

Even if you inquire, you can only find out that a Luckin Coffee and a Mixue Ice Cream have opened at the Sun Moon Royal Academy.

Bai Ran: I just run a coffee shop and a milk tea shop. After running one in the Sun Moon Royal Academy for a while, I suddenly wanted to open one in Star Luo City as well. Is there a problem with that? Or is it that the Star Luo Empire doesn't allow merchants from the Sun Moon Empire to do business in Star Luo?
If that were to happen, the high-ranking officials of the Sun Moon Empire would be laughing in their sleep. They haven't even made a move yet, and their arch-enemy has already struck them first, asking if they're scared.

"Bai Ran..."

After a long while, he began to search his mind for relevant figures.

After searching for a while, I was completely bewildered.

Strange, there is no information about this person at all.

It was as if they had appeared out of thin air in Xingluo City.

Why would the other party sell low-priced tea drinks in Xingluo City?

Despite being a princess, Xu Jiujiu still had some understanding of market prices.

Whether it's a glass of lemonade costing 4 copper soul coins or a serving of ice cream costing 3 copper soul coins, it can be said that they don't make any money, or even that they lose money to gain publicity.

Why would the other party open such a shop in Xingluo City?
Could there be some ulterior motive? It's terrifying to think about, truly terrifying.

……

"Princess Jiujiu, Boss Xiaobai is not a bad person."

Seeing that Xu Jiujiu's gaze toward Bai Ran was gradually becoming unfriendly, Huo Yuhao quickly spoke up.

In Huo Yuhao's view, it was definitely Bai Ran's suspicion of Xu Jiujiu's princess identity that caused Princess Jiujiu to become dissatisfied.

No matter what, Princess Jiu Jiu was brought into the shop by Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao felt quite guilty for not being able to help Boss Bai solve the troubles of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

If, because of him, Boss Xiaobai is completely unable to survive in Xingluo City...

Huo Yuhao estimated that he was likely to lose Boss Xiaobai as a friend.

Huo Yuhao: No! My Luckin Coffee! How can I live without you...?

"Ok?"

Princess Jiujiu's puzzled gaze immediately fell on Huo Yuhao.

Has Huo Yuhao misunderstood something?

Or is it that we are simply not on the same wavelength?

"Huo Yuhao, you bastard."

Bai Ran was speechless. It would have been better if Hajiho hadn't explained; the explanation only made Xu Jiujiu's gaze towards him even more complicated.
