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

Chapter 219 Mixue Ice Cream is a people's milk tea shop

"I don't understand, aren't you afraid of losing money by setting such a price?"

Xu didn't want to delve any further into Bai Ran's identity.

If there's a real problem, we can just have someone investigate. As the eldest princess of the Star Luo Empire, this is a trivial matter.

The only thing that puzzled me for a long time was the pricing of these items.

Could it be that they are using the name of a milk tea shop to actually engage in some illegal activities?
Strangely enough, in the half hour since she entered the store, she hadn't encountered a single new customer.

Could it be that?
"You won't lose money."

Bai Ran shook her head.

On the surface, lemonade made with fresh lemon slices priced at 4 copper soul coins does seem incredibly expensive.

However, if we only consider the cost of raw materials, we can not only not lose money by selling a cup of lemonade, but we can actually make a small profit.

Of course, this "earning" is roughly equivalent to earning a few dozen gold soul coins per month.

In Xingluo City, where land is incredibly valuable, this amount of money probably wouldn't even cover a single meal for a noble gentleman.

Is it really necessary to force a situation where there's no loss?
After a long while, this word suddenly came to mind.

Clearly, they do not agree with Bai Ran's statement.

Xu Jiujiu: You stubborn little devil, you must have some unspeakable secret.

To be fair, a woman's intuition is indeed very accurate.

But looking across the entire Douluo Continent, unless he himself said it, no one would have imagined that a small milk tea shop would be connected with the legendary power of faith.

"Then why is there so little business in your shop? There must be something wrong."

The words had barely faded from his lips.

Then she saw Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong looking at her as if she were a fool.

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

"Huo Yuhao, and Wang Dong, why are you looking at me like that?"

Xu Jiujiu felt that her guess was correct.

Only shops that need to engage in illegal activities need to keep their business quiet in order to reduce the risk of being discovered.

……

"Oh, Your Highness Jiu Jiu."

Huo Yuhao hesitated, wanting to speak but then stopping himself, wanting to speak but then stopping himself again.

Instead, Wang Dong spoke his mind: "It's all the work of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion! None of you nobles of the Star Luo Empire are good people!"

Bai Ran: You're good at scolding, sister.

Huo Yuhao: Huh? Is this still my Wang Dong? When did he become so brave?
In fact, Wang Dong has always been fearless, but when he was with Huo Yuhao, he hid a lot of his fierceness in order to avoid being disliked by Huo Yuhao.

Back when they were freshmen, Wang Dong, who was assigned to the same dormitory as Huo Yuhao, wanted Huo Yuhao to be her servant.

"What's going on with the White Tiger Duke's Mansion?"

He stared at Huo Yuhao with suspicion for a long time.

Others may not know, but she had read Huo Yuhao's relevant information and knew about his past with the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

Strictly speaking, the relationship between Huo Yuhao and the White Tiger Duke's Mansion was one of inseparable ties.
Once Huo Yuhao grows into a rare powerhouse, the White Tiger Duke's Mansion will shamelessly beg him to return.

This is true for large families or major sects.

After all, in the eyes of a family that has been passed down for thousands of years, the concept of face has long since disappeared along with integrity.

They were willing to do anything to ensure the family's continued prosperity.

Besides, no matter what, Huo Yuhao, you couldn't possibly have killed your father, could you?
Electrolux: Actually, I think it would be good to turn him into an undead. To ensure that you, young man, are not bullied for the rest of your life, he is willing to become an undead to accompany you and clear away many difficulties for you. What a great fatherly love!

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm: Old Master Yi's insightful opinion.

As for when Wang Dong scolded them, saying that few of the upper-class nobles were good people.

He didn't deny anything for a long time.

Because there were really few good people among them; they were all parasites on the empire. If it weren't for the remaining value they still possessed, they would have been wiped out long ago.

"It's all the work of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. Local residents are too intimidated by the Duke's Mansion to dare to come to this Mixue Ice Cream shop."

Speaking of which, Boss Bai, how did you offend the White Tiger Duke's Mansion?

The old woman didn't explain why, she only said that the shop had offended the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

"Yes, Boss Bai, how did you offend the White Tiger Duke's Mansion?"

Huo Yuhao was equally curious.

Although it is speculated that Dai Huabin's dismissal is somewhat related to the young, inexperienced boss in front of him.

But speculation is just speculation.

Moreover, this shop is located quite far from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. Could it be that when Boss Xiaobai bought this shop, Dai Huabin happened to see it?

"I didn't offend anyone from the White Tiger Duke's mansion."

Bai Ran: I never cause trouble, but of course, I'm never afraid of trouble either.

"Is it a problem with this store?"

Since it's not a problem with the people, then it must be a problem with the store.

"That's it."

Bai Ran nodded and then recounted the incident involving the girl who had been sold to his shop.

……

"So, Boss Bai, you ruined the Duke's second young master's plans and then suffered his revenge?"

"asshole!"

“There’s actually such a thing!”

Compared to Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong and Xu Jiujiu, being women, were even more furious.

Especially after hearing that in just six months, several young girls had already fallen victim to this heinous crime.

Because of the Duchess's cover-up, Xu Jiujiu was unaware that Dai Huabin had committed such heinous acts.

The minister's impeachment memorial only mentioned that the second son of the Duke's mansion often harassed women.

There is absolutely no comparison between harassing a woman and forcibly abducting her.

The one mentioned earlier was exempted from punishment because of his noble title and the fact that Dai Huabin was already disabled.

And the next one? Death penalty, to be carried out immediately.

Especially considering that so many young girls have died.

What about the local inspector?
Is all that money they give out each month just going to waste?

What? You're saying the officials in charge of this area are all from the Duke's mansion?

That's not surprising, that's not surprising.

……

"I still wonder why you sell such cheap tea."

The matter concerning the White Tiger Duke's Mansion requires further evidence collection; otherwise, it would be slander.

Moreover, the Duke of White Tiger is a powerful duke who commands the Empire's elite army. If this matter is not handled properly, it could cause a lot of trouble.

Xu Jiujiu said that she could not just listen to the boy's side of the story and needed to gather more information.

In contrast, she remained curious about Mixue Ice Cream's pricing.

What is the purpose of such inexpensive tea?

"Because Mixue Ice Cream is a milk tea shop for the people, I want to make tea drinks that were previously only available to nobles accessible to all commoners."

I want to give ordinary fathers the confidence to bring their families into a shop and tell their children to order whatever they want, even if they only have a few soul coins in their pockets.

Great, needless to say.

(Huh? A coffee that costs 9.9 gold coins a cup... Oh, sorry, I went to the wrong store. I need to go to Mixue Ice Cream next door.)
