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

Chapter 39 So, you're here to buy coffee?
"Ah? It's that woman!"

Bai Ran had just arrived at her stall, ready to start selling coffee, when she saw a red figure walking towards her from afar.

Bai Ran was so frightened that she immediately shrank under the counter.

Bai Ran: Oh no, it's coming for me? It can't see me, it can't see me...

In the original novel, even though Huo Yuhao possessed the ultimate ice martial soul "Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion," he was almost roasted to death while helping Ma Xiaotao suppress her evil fire.

Bai Ran didn't think he could do better than Huo Yuhao.

The key issue is that he is a food-type Soul Master, making him even more fragile, with a thinner health bar, and more prone to death. He simply cannot withstand any hardship.

"Little brother~"

A mature older sister's voice rang in Bai Ran's ears; just by listening to the voice, one could tell it started with a C.

But Bai Ran didn't want to hear that voice at all.

"Um, big sister, is there anything I can help you with?"

Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Bai Ran had no choice but to stand up.

Fortunately, Ma Xiaotao was not currently being consumed by the evil fire. Given her clear consciousness, she was unlikely to do anything outrageous in public.

"Little brother, I'm so sorry about what happened this morning."

"no problem, no problem."

Bai Ran waved his hands repeatedly, not wanting to have anything to do with Ma Xiaotao, fearing that she would capture him at any moment and refine him into a "pill" to help her suppress her evil fire.

"Little brother, I haven't asked you your name yet."

At this moment, Ma Xiaotao is as gentle as a kind older sister next door.

If someone who knows you saw this, they would probably be shocked.

The level of grotesqueness is comparable to that of a female Tyrannosaurus Rex pretending to be a sweet girl in the Sichuan-Chongqing region.

"Bai, Bai Ran."

For a moment, Bai Ran was unsure of the situation.

What does Ma Xiaotao mean?

Is it really necessary to simply apologize to myself?

No, you owe me my level 7 defensive shield!
Fortunately, Yan Shaozhe had already made compensation on behalf of his disciple, and it was a defensive soul tool of level eight, so Bai Ran did not intend to continue to pursue the matter.

However, since it was made by a soul master from Shrek Academy, the soul tool's level was automatically reduced by one level, and its effect was actually similar to the level seven defensive shield that Uncle had given him before.

After all, the soul tools on Ye Tian's body were basically all made by a certain instructor from the Sun Moon Royal Academy.

My uncle said it was his close friend.

However, due to the different factions they belonged to, the highest level of the soul tool Ye Tian possessed was only level eight.

Unfortunately, the soul guidance technology contained in the level nine soul tool is the trump card of the Sun Moon Empire, and it is impossible to sell it to any other force on the Douluo Continent.

Even a set of level eight soul tools took a lot of effort.

……

"Little brother Bai Ran, could you give me some of your ice from this morning?"

Ma Xiaotao came to the outer courtyard to find Bai Ran. Besides being somewhat interested in this little brother, she also planned to ask him for some ice from this morning to store in her storage soul tool for future use.

With these ice blocks possessing near-perfect ice properties as aids, the probability of her going into qi deviation during her next cultivation session will be significantly reduced.

Of course, the best way would be to just capture this little brother and then help Ma Xiaotao cultivate.

But if that happens, Ma Xiaotao might not even be able to enter the inner courtyard canteen anymore.

After some consideration, Ma Xiaotao came up with a solution—to ask this little brother Bai Ran for some ice every few days.

Hmph, this is practically a plan comparable to Zhongli faking his death.

Little Peach, you are truly a genius!

"So you're here to buy coffee?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Ran immediately straightened his back.

You should have told me sooner! It was terrifying.

As long as they didn't come to absorb my negative energy. "Coffee?"

This was the first time Ma Xiaotao had ever heard of this drink's name.

At the same time, she also began to take a look at the newly opened stall.

"Luckin Coffee. Little brother Bai Ran, is this your shop?"

"Isn't it similar?"

Ma Xiaotao had no doubt about Chef Ye's abilities. As the head of the inner courtyard canteen, he only needed to mention it to his family member to open a stall in the outer courtyard canteen.

But the little boy in front of me is so young, can he cook?
Ma Xiaotao: At least, even though I'm so old, I still can't cook.

I'm usually busy cultivating, so I don't have time to learn how to cook. Otherwise, how do you think I became a Soul Emperor before the age of twenty?

It's all about hard work and sweat; you can't see a single bit of talent.

……

"Little brother Bai Ran, which coffee did you spill on me this morning?"

Ma Xiaotao glanced at the menu and saw that it listed "Luckin Classic Americano" and "Luckin Coconut Latte".

The price is 9.9 gold soul coins.

It's not expensive at all. Putting aside the coffee, the ice cubes inside, which are dozens of degrees below zero, are worth far more than 9.9 gold coins.

To obtain ice at this temperature, one would either need to be a powerful ice-attribute Soul Master or venture deep into the far north to mine for ice, but neither of these options can be acquired with a mere 9.9 gold Soul Coins.

"Luckin Coffee Iced Americano".

"Then give me a Luckin Ice Americano, and um, a Luckin Coconut Latte too."

After being doused with iced Americano, Ma Xiaotao was able to taste it.

Have you taken a medicinal bath after completing your cultivation practice?
It tastes even worse than that.

However, the coconut latte sounds pretty good just from the name.

If all else fails, just treat it like coconut-flavored ice cubes; holding it in your mouth might offer a unique flavor.

"Just a moment please."

After accepting the gold soul coins that Ma Xiaotao had placed on the counter, Bai Ran got up and went to the kitchen to make coffee.

……

On the other side, Tang Ya and her group were preparing to buy coffee at Luckin Coffee.

Upon seeing the red figure standing in front of the coffee stall, they immediately stopped walking forward.

"Xiaoya, let's come back later."

"That's exactly what I was thinking too. How about we go eat braised chicken first?"

If you arrive late, you'll only get to eat the leftovers.

Huo Yuhao: What's left over from the previous table? Isn't that just saliva chicken? No problem.

Because of Ma Xiaotao, this "plague god," standing in front of the shop, even some students who were interested in this newly opened coffee shop didn't dare to approach.

He was afraid that his senior's anger would fall on him.

As for the unpleasant incident that happened in front of the coffee shop last night?
The general public has no memory of what happened, and the fact that some of the food in the Foreign Languages ​​Department's cafeteria has been bad for quite some time is not a new issue.

……

"Big sister, here's your coffee."

Bai Ran walked out of the kitchen carrying two cups of coffee and placed them on the counter.

"Huh? Little brother Bai Ran, the temperature of this coffee is off."

Ma Xiaotao reached out and picked up a cup of Luckin Coffee. Although the cup felt cold to the touch, it was far from being as cold as ice, at most a few degrees below zero.

"My coffee cups are made with heat-insulating material."

If Luckin Coffee cups weren't insulated from the temperature, the ice cubes inside, which are at near-freezing temperatures, would have already frozen customers' hands.
