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

Chapter 13 Big Kitty! Want a Luckin Coffee?
Bai Ran, who didn't know where she had been taken, felt sore all over as soon as she woke up, as if her body was about to fall apart.

Compared to the physical pain, the unfamiliar surroundings made Bai Ran feel even more desperate.

Bai Ran: Is this still Douluo Continent? What the hell am I doing here?!

A strong survival instinct led Bai Ran to begin searching for a way out in the vicinity.

Even though there's always the possibility of encountering a powerful soul beast and being devoured, staying put is also a death sentence. So why not seek out a glimmer of hope?

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Bai Ran suddenly felt a bright light before her eyes, and then she saw a large pool of green lake water.

Lake of Life!

The words that came to mind made Bai Ran feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

What kind of luck do you have?
He said he was unlucky, as he went directly from the edge of the core area into the forbidden zone of the Star Dou Great Forest without encountering a single powerful soul beast along the way.

Bai Ran thought he was lucky to arrive at the Lake of Life. As expected, his aura was quickly locked onto by the king of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Beast God Di Tian.

Di Tian: Where did this little baby come from? It looks like the little baby from Shrek Academy. Hmm, let's pretend we didn't see it.

"Strange, could this not be the Lake of Life?"

Bai Ran mustered his courage and went inside, only to find the place eerily quiet. He didn't see a single ferocious beast, not even a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

Could it be that I guessed wrong?
……

Because of the disappearance of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, in the Forbidden Zone of Life, apart from the Beast God Di Tian who is protecting his master "Silver Dragon King Gu Yue Na", the remaining ferocious beasts have all returned to their own clans to see how their clans have developed in the years since they left.

However, there is another special existence in the forbidden zone of life.

It is the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the imperial auspicious beast that carries the power of destiny for the entire Star Dou Great Forest, and is also the most noble existence in the Star Dou Great Forest besides the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena.

"Humanity?"

They saw a human being in the forbidden zone, and it was a young child at that.

Suddenly seized by a playful impulse, the three-eyed golden lion leaped out of the Lake of Life and landed steadily in front of the human child, shaking its body to splash the water off its fur onto the child.

Upon witnessing this scene, Di Tian did not intervene. Putting aside the question of what fighting power a human cub could possibly possess, even under the watchful eye of the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, if the Three-Eyed Golden Lion could still be injured, he might as well just smash his head against a wall and die.

"Woo..."

A three-meter-long, lion-like spirit beast suddenly appeared in front of him.

Bai Ran, who had never experienced any major storms, was so frightened that she couldn't utter a single word.

As for resistance?

He doesn't possess any soul tools with lethal capabilities, such as fixed-mount soul-guided cannons, and he is also a food-type soul master without any offensive means.

All I could do was close my eyes and pray in my heart that I could die a quick and painless death.

"Human, how did you manage to trespass into this forbidden zone, given your cowardice?"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion couldn't understand it at all, especially after sensing the faint aura emanating from Bai Ran, which was even weaker than the aura emitted by a hundred-year-old soul beast.

"You, you are a 100,000-year-old soul beast..."

It wasn't that Bai Ran couldn't recognize the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, but given the current situation, Bai Ran simply didn't have time to think about it.

He only remembered that for a soul beast to speak, it had to be over 100,000 years old, and to speak so fluently, it was already among the strongest soul beasts of that age.

"I didn't expect you to be so big, yet you know so much. But I'm not a 100,000-year-old soul beast."

The three-eyed golden lion shook its head, a hint of disappointment appearing in its eyes.

Although the other party pretended to be very scared, there was not much fear in their eyes, which was not the kind of emotion that a normal human cub could show.

Originally, according to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's plan, after it jumped out of the lake, it would breathe on the child. Even if it couldn't scare him to the point of wetting himself, it would at least make him fall to the ground and look embarrassed.

As a result, nothing was accomplished except for a slight change in the other person's tone of voice.

"Oh, I see, you're Big Kitty."

Bai Ran: It's not a 100,000-year-old soul beast, yet it can speak and lives in the Lake of Life. The only creature in the entire Star Dou Great Forest that fits this description is probably the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

"Big cat?"

Upon hearing this title, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion immediately bristled.

She is a noble imperial mythical beast, yet this brat dares to address her like that. Is he truly unafraid of death?
Bai Ran: Who isn't afraid of death? But ever since I learned that I had accidentally wandered into the forbidden zone of the Star Dou Great Forest, I don't think I can survive.

"Do you drink Luckin Coffee, big cat?"

Since he was going to die anyway, Bai Ran decided to go all out and used his soul power to create a Luckin Ice Americano, while also making one for the three-eyed golden lion in front of him.

Sensing that the child in front of him meant no harm, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion accepted the cup of Luckin Coffee with its claws.

However, the dark liquid looked strange no matter how you looked at it.

But seeing that the children in front of him were drinking it, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, with a try-it-out attitude, also followed Bai Ran's example and drank the coffee with a straw.

Hidden in the shadows, Di Tian did not stop it.

After all, in his perception, the thing that the child took out was something he had condensed using his soul power.

Although its dark color may give people a sense of unease, it is actually harmless.

Even if it's poisonous, given the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's abilities, unless it's a divine intervention, ordinary toxins are no different from proteins to it.

……

Feeling the coolness of the liquid in the cup, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion drank even more heartily.

On a hot day like this, being able to drink a glass of flavorful ice water is simply wonderful.

The reason we were just soaking in the lake was because the water was cool, wasn't it?
But after a few sips, the bitterness of the coffee overpowered the coolness from the ice.

"Pfft~"

Aside from the first two sips which were swallowed, the three-eyed golden lion spat out the remaining sips as it came to its senses.

"Child, how did you manage to drink something so bitter?"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was about to teach the brat in front of it a lesson, but then it saw the other person drinking with great relish.

Suspecting that the problem lay with her, she took another bite.

"Bah bah bah..."

Three-Eyed Golden Lion: There's a dog!
"Is this what human society drinks?"

Sensing the darkness of the drink, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's initial curiosity about human society vanished by more than half.

Di Tian: Is there really such a good thing?
