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

Chapter 27 The old man by the lake, I'm waiting for someone.
Unbeknownst to him, Bai Ran, the protagonist, arrived at Seagod Island, which symbolizes Shrek Academy's inner courtyard.

Bai Ran originally planned to go to the teaching building to see how the Shrek Academy's outer disciples were attending classes.

But then I thought, I'll experience it sooner or later next year, so why rush it? Am I in such a hurry to see how my seniors went to jail?

Standing on the shore, looking at the lake in front of him, Bai Ran suddenly felt a little lost.

As a food-type Soul Master, even with Soul Tools to compensate for combat power, the Soul Tool technology on the Douluo Continent is clearly several eras behind the Soul Tools on the Sun Moon Continent.

In the Douluo Continent today, even Shrek Academy, which is known as the number one academy in the entire continent, does not have a single true level nine soul master.

"A food-type Soul Master like me still needs to find a strong and reliable partner to protect me."

Open a harem?

In situations where the woman is stronger than the man, having a harem could actually get you beaten up.

(Three-eyed auspicious beast: Go on, I'm listening)

However, such major life events are still too far away for Bai Ran at this stage.

Instead of thinking about those things, I should consider what aspects of my first Luckin Coffee shop at Shrek College need improvement.

For example, they could customize a batch of packaging bags printed with the Luckin Coffee logo, or order a few billboards to put in front of the store explaining the benefits and effects of coffee.

Besides that, the simplest and most direct method is to ask your uncle to help you promote it.

But if that happens, Bai Ran will probably really become a miserable, beastly laborer.

Therefore, the moment that thought popped into her head, Bai Ran ruthlessly rejected it.

"Little one, what are you doing here?"

The lake is deep; be careful not to fall in accidentally.

Just as Bai Ran sent a telepathic message to his uncle, waiting for him to come and pick him up.

Suddenly, I heard an old man's voice.

Bai Ran quickly looked in the direction from which the sound came and saw an old man leaning back in a recliner, holding a newspaper in his hand.

Bai Ran had met almost all of the high-ranking members of Shrek Academy's inner court, except for Mu En.

As expected, this should be Elder Mu Enmu.

But something is not quite right. Because of the poison from the former sect leader of the Body Sect, Mu En is almost confined to a wheelchair.

But this old man, lounging around with his legs crossed, doesn't look like Senior Mu at all.

"I'm waiting for someone here, grandpa. What are you doing here?"

Although Poseidon Island has the word "sea" in its name, it is ultimately just an artificial lake.

Sitting by the lake and sunbathing during the hottest part of the day?
Sensing that something might be a little off about the other person, Bai Ran quickly moved two steps to the side.

"Oh, what a coincidence! Grandpa, I'm also waiting for someone."

"Grandpa, who are you waiting for?"

Damn curiosity still compelled Bai Ran to ask.

"Here he is."

The old man had barely finished speaking.

A figure that Bai Ran was familiar with landed steadily on the shore.

It was none other than Bai Ran's uncle, Ye Tian.

"Oh? Master Ye, why did you come in person?"

Upon seeing the visitor, the previously somewhat carefree old man immediately stood up and put away all his belongings, including his recliner.

"Since Senior Tianyang has come in person, how could I possibly be negligent?"

Ye Tian was quite respectful towards the old man.

Originally, it was thought that the Douling Empire would just send any Soul Douluo, but unexpectedly, not only did they send a Title Douluo, but they also sent the strongest Title Douluo in the Douling Empire, known as the "Heavenly Sun Douluo" who is also the guardian god of the Douling Empire.

Of course, Shrek's rules cannot be broken. As the core of Shrek Academy, the inner courtyard cannot be easily entered by those who are not affiliated with Shrek.

Even though Tianyang Douluo is a level 97 Super Douluo, he can only stay in the outer courtyard area of ​​Shrek Academy.

Unless there is something urgent that warrants an invitation from the inner court's higher-ups.

But it was clear that Tianyang Douluo had come for personal matters. If there were anything truly important, he wouldn't be so idle as to bring out a deck chair to sunbathe and read the newspaper.

"Uncle, this old man..."

Before Bai Ran could finish speaking, her uncle Ye Tian covered her mouth with his hand.

Ye Tian: I know what my nephew is going to say without him even having to say a word. He'll either call me an old geezer or an old codger.

"Master Ye, what about this child?"

"My nephew, my own nephew."

"No wonder his eyebrows resemble Master Ye's so much."

Tianyang Douluo knew something about Ye Tian's past, so he didn't say much.

"Senior Tianyang, here is what you requested. It will be most effective if you consume it within three days."

Ye Tian took out a thermal box from his storage ring and handed it over.

"Thanks, Master Ye."

After accepting the gifts, Tianyang Douluo prepared to take his leave.

"Master Ye, come visit Douling City when you have time. The gates of the Douling Empire are always open for you."

After accepting the gifts, Tianyang Douluo slowly walked out of the courtyard.

Non-Shrek Academy members are prohibited from flying within the Academy premises.

Tianyang Douluo wouldn't idly challenge the rules set by others.

The Douling Empire was the weakest of the three great empires on the Douluo Continent and was the one that needed to maintain a good relationship with Shrek Academy the most.

Even the son of the former princess Xue Lingxun attends Shrek Academy. (Who else could it be but Xu Sanshi?)

……

Watching Tianyang Douluo's departing figure, Bai Ran, who was heading to the inner courtyard with his uncle, once again asked a question driven by curiosity: "Uncle, what's in that insulated box?"

"Is it that I can't say?"

Seeing that his uncle hadn't responded for a long time, Bai Ran asked again.

"No, it's just that you're too young, so it's best if you don't know about these things."

Actually, there wasn't much in that box.

The current emperor of the Douling Empire has no children. In order to have an heir, he has sought out various famous doctors. Now, having heard that Shrek Academy has a "divine chef" who is proficient in medicinal cuisine, he has come to ask for help.

Given the relationship between Shrek Academy and the Douling Empire, they would certainly not refuse such a thing.

So Ye Tian used the aphrodisiacs from a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast and eight thousand-year-old soul beasts to create a highly nourishing dish.

As for why it is more effective when taken within three days?
This is entirely because the insulation box only keeps food warm for three days. Once that time is up, although the nutritional benefits of the food inside the box are not greatly affected.

However, it would be greatly diminished in terms of taste, especially that pungent, unpleasant smell. Given the licentious and tyrannical nature of His Majesty of the Douling Empire, it would be a complete waste.

"Ranran, how are the coffee sales at lunchtime?"

Because he had been cooking that highly nutritious dish for the past two days, Ye Tian hadn't paid much attention to his nephew.

The main reason was that Bai Ran had said beforehand that there was no need for him to come and support the business, as he was afraid that the business would be too good and he wouldn't be able to handle it.

"Okay."

"No, do people actually like drinking that bitter stuff?"

Ye Tian, ​​who had never tried a coconut latte, sighed in exasperation, "The world is truly full of wonders."

"Uncle, you won't say that after you've tasted my coconut latte."

"Okay, okay, Uncle will definitely try it later."

"By the way, Ranran, are you still enjoying the food at the Foreign Languages ​​Department cafeteria? If not, I'll have someone bring you food tomorrow."

Bai Ran: Uh, actually I didn't eat anything.

Since I don't know how to answer, I might as well respond with silence.
