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

Chapter 80 Little Ice, please call me Shop Manager from now on.

You asked how Bai Ran met Hyotei?
As luck would have it, while Bai Ran and the others were searching for soul beasts, they unexpectedly encountered a 3,500-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion.

For Meng Hongchen, the extreme ice attribute of the Ice Jade Scorpion can greatly enhance the ice poison attribute of the Ice-Fire Poison in her martial soul. Moreover, the Ice Jade Scorpion itself is a kind of "poisonous creature", and its compatibility with Zhu Qing Ice Toad is at least 70%.

Similarly, for Bai Ran, the Ice Jade Scorpion, which possesses the ultimate ice attribute, also provides a significant boost to his Luckin Coffee Martial Soul.

However, when they made their move, the 3,500-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion attracted a 25,000-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion, and the 25,000-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion attracted an 80,000-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion.

Finally, Hyotei was brought out again.

If Bai Ran hadn't tried his luck and accurately thrown the "shop assistant card" at Hyotei, even if Jing Hongchen managed to escape with the two children, he would probably have lost one or two level-nine soul tools.

"Huh? Xiao Ran, what did you do to Bing Di? Why is her soul beast aura gone, and her soul power seems to have dropped to level 30?"

Jing Hongchen began to curiously examine Bingdi, who had regressed from a young girl to a little loli due to insufficient soul power.

Unlike Soul Masters, Soul Mentors are not very interested in the Soul Rings and Soul Bones of Soul Beasts; instead, they are interested in the materials on their bodies.

But judging from Hyotei's current state, they don't seem like they can contribute any rare materials.

"I can't come."

In fact, Bai Ran knew everything.

The cultivation level (salary) of a shop assistant cannot exceed that of the shop owner.

Meanwhile, Hyotei has transformed into a green-haired loli. (Refer to manga character design)
He watched helplessly as Meng Hongchen sat down cross-legged and began absorbing the soul ring of the 3,500-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion.

Hyotei: My people. Damn humans, damned humans!
Now that things have come to this, let's have some ice cream first. (Chewing, chewing, the ice cream is so delicious!)
"Bai Ran, I want to eat ice cream too."

"From now on, please call me Manager, Xiao Bing."

"Manager, I want it!"

"Children can only eat one a day, no more."

As soon as Bai Ran finished speaking, an ice crystal helmet suddenly appeared on the head of the green-haired little girl.

Without giving Bai Ran a chance to react, it charged straight at him, knocking Bai Ran headfirst into the snow next to him.

Although Hyotei's soul power level was on par with Bai Ran's thanks to the staff card, it was easier for a powerful attack-type soul master with an ultimate martial soul to beat a food-type soul master than for a father to beat his son.

"Xiao Bing, how could you treat your store manager like this? It seems I really need to control you a bit more."

With a thought, Bai Ran conjured the remote control he used to control the shop assistants into his hand.

Hyotei: !!!
Bai Ran: I'm a little curious about what will happen this time.

"Leaving me will hurt my heart, it will hurt my heart..."

As the red button was pressed, a powerful background music suddenly started playing.

Next is an early video of Hyotei attempting to tame their limbs through a dance.

Bai Ran's assessment of this was: It's not as good as Hakimi's (the older man) jump.

After pressing the remote control button a few times, Bai Ran suddenly understood why the "multi-talented" option was marked on the employee card.

It seems they're worried about not getting any customers, so they need the staff to come up with something interesting to attract customers.

Hyotei: Stop messing around, I think I'm a little dead.

To be precise, the loss of face over the past hundreds of thousands of years is not as great as the loss of face in just one day.

"Manager, I know I was wrong. Please stop using your supernatural powers."

Although it did not cause any physical harm, it caused Hyotei great mental anguish.

But he'll do it again next time.

……

The remote control is just a means of control. It's fine to use it occasionally, but if you use it too often, it might cause Hyotei to develop some strange attributes, and she might end up begging you to control her. That would be quite a joke.

"Little Bing, do you know if there are any plant-type spirit beasts in the far north that bear delicious fruit?" After using the clerk card, apart from successfully obtaining Bai Ran's second spirit "Honey Snow Ice City" because of Ice Emperor, there were no other gains.

Ice Emperor only became a shop assistant at Mixue Ice Cream, not a sacrifice for Bai Ran, so Bai Ran did not gain either a soul ring or a soul bone.

Of course, there are also advantages. As a shop assistant, Hyotei must protect her shop manager. With Hyotei's ultimate ice attribute, even with only level 30 soul power, dealing with some ordinary Soul Masters should not be a problem.

This means Bai Ran has gained a powerful henchman. (Hyotei: How did I become a beast of burden?)

Mixue Ice Cream (Martial Soul): Dear Rui, I have employees, while you don't, that's one victory; I started with two blockbuster products, iced lemonade and fresh ice cream, while you started with only iced Americano that even dogs wouldn't drink, that's two victories; in the end, I only sell for 4 copper soul coins, while you sell for 9.9 gold soul coins, that's three victories!

Luckin Coffee (Soul): Arminus!
"Manager, are you running a fever?"

The green-haired little girl walked back to Bai Ran, reached out and touched his forehead, then touched her own forehead.

"What are you talking about? I, the store manager, don't get sick so easily."

"Then let me ask you, where is this place?"

"The far north."

"What's the temperature here?"

"It's tens of degrees below zero, what's wrong?"

"Manager, did you see any plants on your way here?"

"No, it's all ice except for snow."

"That's good. There aren't even any plants, so where would we get plant-type spirit beasts? And they have to be plant-type spirit beasts that can bear delicious fruit."

Bai Ran: Well, it looks like I'll have to spend this winter break in the Starry Sky Forest.

……

Meanwhile, after Huo Yuhao went to the Ice Jade Scorpion's clan, Tianmeng, who lived in his spiritual sea, still did not sense the Ice Emperor's aura.

Huo Yuhao: Tianmeng-ge, what's wrong?
Hearing Tianmeng sigh, Huo Yuhao quickly asked.

Could it be that the opportunity has slipped away?

Tianmeng: Sigh, I never expected that the mighty Ice Emperor would also perish under the heavenly tribulation.

In Tianmeng Bingcan's opinion, the reason why the Ice Emperor has not appeared for so long is probably because he has died under the heavenly tribulation of 400,000 years.

Tianmeng Ge: Yuhao...

For a moment, Tianmeng was at a loss for words. The most crucial step of the God-Making Plan could not proceed. To be honest, Tianmeng had begun to give up on herself.

With Huo Yuhao's current talent, let alone becoming a god, even breaking through to the Soul Saint level would be difficult.

"Brother Tianmeng, what is that?"

As expected of the chosen one, within Huo Yuhao's mental perception range, a massive ice-green scorpion suddenly lay stiffly on the ground.

This Ice Jade Scorpion is the very Ice Jade Scorpion that was injured by Jing Hongchen 25,000 years ago.

Because its injuries were too severe, it was unable to return to its territory and lay down on the roadside.

"Yuhao, step forward quickly, that's your chance!"

This critically injured and dying Ice Jade Scorpion rekindled hope for the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

Twenty-five thousand years seems a bit short, but it is still the ultimate ice attribute, and can be considered a top-grade beast spirit.

Although he was young, Huo Yuhao would suffer a great deal of pain afterward.

It can only be said that Bai Ran stole Huo Yuhao's opportunity, but it seems like he didn't. Why is his head suddenly so pointed?
