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

Chapter 57 Bai Ran's Animal Friends, Encountering the Big Cat Again

Deep in the Star Forest

"Little darling, slow down!"

The Crimson King was somewhat desperate, because just because its cultivation level was the lowest, the task of taking care of the child had successfully fallen to its shoulders.

"Uncle Chi, you're too slow."

As the three-eyed golden lion spoke, it continued its pursuit of the 50,000-year-old soul beast ahead.

Three-Eyed Golden Lion: Hey, I'm not in a hurry, I'm just chasing after it for fun because I'm bored.

Unless it is a soul beast that is over 100,000 years old, or a powerful soul beast with dark attributes.

Ordinary soul beasts, even those that are over 50,000 years old, would only be able to obediently run away when they encounter the auspicious beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and would not dare to resist at all.

Ignoring the ferocious beast bodyguards behind the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion itself is already at the level of a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

"Ouch~"

As I was chasing after it, I suddenly tripped over something.

The three-eyed golden lion made him fall flat on his face.

"Damn sack!"

Seeing its prey run away, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion kicked the sack that had tripped it hard.

A pungent, bloody smell instantly filled the bag.

The smell didn't seem like that of a soul beast's blood, so the Three-Eyed Golden Lion stretched out its claws and ripped open the sack.

Inside, however, lay a human whose face was completely disfigured, resembling a young man of about twenty years old.

"Huh? There's another bag here. Could it be filled with humans too?"

After casually tossing the human corpse aside, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion noticed a burlap sack nearby.

Because the sack was significantly smaller, it wasn't stepped on by the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

Of course, even if someone accidentally steps on it, the advanced defensive soul tool on that person will automatically deploy a shield.

However, that thing would probably shatter after only a couple of hits if it encountered a soul beast that was over 30,000 years old.

This is the main reason why Dai Huabin ordered his men to throw the sacks into the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.

If left on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, can those thousand-year-old soul beasts break through the shield of a high-level defensive soul tool?
They might even be discovered by other passing Soul Masters and rescued.

But the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest are different; not to mention that ordinary Soul Masters wouldn't dare to enter.

Even if they do encounter a powerful soul beast, they are unlikely to risk their lives to save someone in a chance meeting.

However, despite all his calculations, Dai Huabin did not anticipate that Bai Ran had another animal friend in the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Hmm? Why does this aura seem somewhat familiar?"

Sniffing the burlap sack, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion could vaguely smell a coffee aroma.

Three-Eyed Golden Lion: Is it just a hallucination caused by not having had a fresh coconut latte for too long?
Because it was uncertain, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion carefully and gently cut open this sack, rather than the previous one, for fear of injuring the person inside.

Xiao Bai: So I'm the only one who's become the clown? (Dead men shouldn't talk.)

"Ah?"

Since it had only been a few months since they last met, his appearance hadn't changed much. Apart from growing a bit taller, he still looked exactly as the Three-Eyed Golden Lion remembered him.

The moment they met again, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion recognized Bai Ran instantly.

"Uncle Chi, come here quickly, come here quickly!"

Upon hearing the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's call, the Crimson King immediately appeared beside the Imperial Auspicious Beast.

"What's wrong, my little darling?"

"Uncle Chi, come and take a look at me."

The three-eyed golden lion pointed at Bai Ran, who was still unconscious.

"Little ancestor, are you asking if human soul masters taste good?"

"Well, I don't recommend you eat this one. Although human cubs are very tender, this one seems to have been drugged. You might get an upset stomach if you eat it." The auspicious beast is almost immune to any toxins from the lower realm.

The reason the Crimson King said this was mainly because he was afraid that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion would find the human soul master cubs delicious. If they became addicted to the taste, the old guys would be in for a lot of trouble.

"Uncle Chi! I won't eat my friend, and you're not allowed to eat him either!"

Three-Eyed Golden Lion: If I eat him, where will I go to drink a delicious coconut latte?
"He doesn't have a fever, what nonsense are you talking about, my little darling?"

The Crimson King stretched out a paw and placed it on the auspicious beast's head. Finding nothing unusual, it shook its head, a strange look appearing in its eyes.

Can a Soul Master and a Soul Beast become friends?
Aside from a few rare cases where a 100,000-year-old soul beast transformed into a woman and was loved by a male soul master, the Crimson King had never seen a soul master and a soul beast truly become friends.

After all, if a Soul Master wants to improve their cultivation, they must hunt Soul Beasts to obtain Soul Rings and Soul Bones.

There is a natural law that states that even if two people have lived together since childhood, they may eventually have a conflict that leads to a situation where it is either one of them who dies.

"Uncle Chi, do you still remember the coconut latte that boosted my blood circulation after I drank it?"
My friend made this, isn't it amazing?

The three-eyed golden lion raised its little head and said with a smug look on its face.

Looking at her like this, you'd think she made Luckin Coffee's coconut latte.

Actually, there's nothing wrong with that statement.

Without her Three-Eyed Golden Lion, Bai Ran would not have been able to obtain the first ring of the ten-thousand-year cycle.

It's no exaggeration to say that she's a major shareholder of Luckin Coffee.

Of course, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion doesn't want any dividends or anything like that; all she wants is unlimited access to Luckin Coffee.

"What are you waiting for? Quickly take this child back to the forbidden zone and let your Aunt Brigitte take a look at him."

……

Half a day later

Is this heaven or hell?

Bai Ran opened his eyes and looked around at his surroundings.

This scene feels so familiar; I think I've been here before.

"Bai Ran, you're awake."

A familiar voice reached Bai Ran's ears.

Immediately afterwards, a huge lion pounced on Bai Ran and pinned him to the ground.

Due to the evolution of its bloodline, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion is now much larger than before.

If she was a slightly petite lioness a few months ago, she is now a fully grown male lion who patrols her territory in the Starry Sky Forest every day.

"Big cat?"

Despite being pressed down and struggling to breathe, Bai Ran still grinned.

Bai Ran: Since I'm not dead, then someone else is going to be the one who dies.

"Ha~"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was clearly dissatisfied with this title, and immediately transformed into a round-headed old man, breathing on Bai Ran.

How dare they address the Emperor Beast like that?

"I'll treat you to Luckin Coffee."

"First Soul Skill: Luckin Coconut Latte."

Luckin Coffee's Coconut Latte is the coffee I've been drinking since I was a child.

Upon seeing the Luckin Coffee coconut latte handed to him by Bai Ran, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion quickly got up from Bai Ran's body.

Three-Eyed Golden Lion: You already bought me a Luckin Coffee coconut latte, so why should I say anything? Call me whatever you want. (Even calling me… is fine too.)

……

(I'll add more chapters during the National Day holiday; there will only be three chapters these two days. Sorry.)
