CFSMS -Chapter 163 Berry Milk Tea — Beauty and Flavor in One Cup

Good news: new customers had appeared.

Bad news: the customers were completely reversing the natural order of things.

Since when did I become your fan?

Lu Wu weighed the ice cubes in her hand, seriously considering throwing them at the monk.

Feeling the intimidating gaze from Lu Wu, Chan Yu realized he had misspoken and quickly explained with an awkward smile.

“Ahem, I said that wrong. Boss Lu, I’m your fan. I want to buy milk tea.”

“Boss Lu, we may not know each other, but I’ve eaten the pancakes you sold before.”

Naturally, Tianfo Temple had participated in the previous Young Prodigy Tournament as well. The disciples of Tianfo Temple had always been regarded as representatives of the cultivation-of-the-heart faction in Qingyuan Realm.

To outsiders, it seemed impossible for monks of Tianfo Temple to be tempted by worldly pleasures.

But monks were still human.

Humans had appetites.

During the tournament, Lu Wu’s stall had been incredibly popular, and Chan Yu had heard all about it.

Especially when he saw opponents happily devouring pancakes beneath the arena every day, he eventually couldn’t resist and asked someone to buy one for him.

After that, there was no turning back.

To preserve Tianfo Temple’s reputation, all of this had been done in secret.

Yet he had long since become one of Boss Lu’s fans.

Later, Tianfo Temple had business to attend to and did not stay in Yuanhai City, causing him to miss both the snail rice noodles and the little burgers.

Watching countless diners show off their meals on RealmNet, his intestines practically turned green with regret.

Hesitation only led to defeat.

After reaching enlightenment on this matter, Chan Yu had originally planned to descend the mountain and seek out Boss Lu once the Demon-Sealing Formation was lifted.

Who would have thought that Tian Hui would bring him wonderful news first?

The moment he heard Tian Hui’s description of the stall owner, his first thought was:

Boss Lu has arrived.

A little-known fact:

Boss Lu spawned randomly and could appear anywhere.

This time, he didn’t want to miss his true love.

Calling it heaven-sent fortune, Chan Yu bathed, burned incense, and prepared himself to meet Boss Lu in his best possible state.

Unfortunately, the other disciples of Tianfo Temple had followed him.

Little Monk Tian Hui had failed to keep the secret.

After questioning everyone, Chan Yu discovered they were all accomplices in secretly eating pancakes.

They had hidden it from one another remarkably well.

He had never noticed he had so many partners in crime.

With nothing but a small pancake, Boss Lu had conquered the entire younger generation of Tianfo Temple monks, adding another glorious achievement to her record.

“Boss Lu, we’ll take good care of you for the next seven days.”

Chan Yu’s enthusiasm overflowed.

“What kind of milk tea do you want?”

Lu Wu maintained a straight face, determined to protect her own innocence.

Buying milk tea is buying milk tea. Don’t make it sound so ambiguous. Even if you’re a handsome monk, that’s not okay.

To be honest, Chan Yu looked exactly like the Buddhist prodigies often described in novels.

His face was as smooth as jade, his lips red and teeth white.

A vermilion mark adorned the center of his forehead, while phoenix eyes curved slightly upward.

He was as radiant as the bright moon.

When he smiled at someone, it almost felt as though he was flirting.

Lu Wu did her best to remain electrically insulated.

“Is there a purchase limit?”

Chan Yu asked the most important question.

“Not for now.”

Quite a few monks had come, but compared to her previous customer volume, it was still manageable.

“I’ll take one of everything.”

With a grand wave of his hand, Chan Yu placed his order.

Behind him, the other monks hurriedly called out their chosen flavors, creating a somewhat chaotic scene.

This was the first time the monks had ever lined up to buy Boss Lu’s food.

And it was right outside their own temple.

The feeling was unbelievably exciting.

“One at a time, everyone.”

Facing so many shiny bald heads, Lu Wu’s fingers itched.

She wanted to touch them.

The abandoned little monk Tian Hui watched as his senior brothers surrounded Boss Lu and pouted.

I’ve already had my fill, so I won’t compete with them.

They all call her Boss Lu, but I call her Sister.

I’m the special one.

As the number of customers increased, Lu Wu no longer had time for idle conversation.

Feeling as though she had forgotten something important, she immersed herself in the process of making milk tea.

Silky tea flowed from the ladle.

The coffee-colored tea released a sweet, creamy aroma.

Milk tea might not stimulate hunger, but its colorful layers and rich fragrance made it impossible to look away.

What Lu Wu was preparing now was Exploding Cheese Cream Berry Tea.

A milk tea with outrageously high visual appeal.

The cheese foam had to be made fresh on the spot, though thanks to magic, Lu Wu didn’t need to whip it by hand.

This time, she used green tea.

Compared to black tea, green tea seemed colder and more elegant in both aroma and color, though its fragrance was no less impressive.

This drink belonged to the fruit tea family.

And the fruits of Qingyuan Realm had never disappointed Lu Wu.

The strawberries were as large as fists, plump and ruby-red.

The moment the knife sliced through them, juice burst forth and an enticing fruity fragrance filled the air.

The raspberries were much smaller.

Unlike the purely sweet strawberries, they offered a sweet-and-tart flavor.

One by one, they rolled across the plate like tiny gemstones, delicate and charming.

After blending the fruit pulp with honey, Lu Wu poured the mixture into a cup.

Crispy popping pearls followed.

Cooled green tea was added.

Ice cubes were, of course, essential.

A thick layer of cheese foam covered the top.

Its pale yellow color and savory aroma were impossible to ignore.

Because of the difference in density, the foam slowly sank into the fruit tea below.

This was the so-called “exploding” effect.

As a finishing touch, Lu Wu decorated the rim of the cup with a fresh strawberry.

The ingredients were exceptionally generous.

“Give it a try.”

Lu Wu handed it to Chan Yu, eagerly awaiting the customer’s review.

With the sweetness carefully balanced, the fruit tea leaned toward a sweet-and-tart profile, though sweetness remained dominant.

“Thank you, Boss Lu.”

Chan Yu carefully held the cup.

The aroma of milk tea differed from food.

It was lighter and fresher.

The red berries rested beneath the tea, while the transparent popping pearls became even more crystal-clear after absorbing the tea.

The pale-yellow cheese foam divided the drink into two layers.

Yet with time, the two would become one again.

Different colors collided to create a beautiful painting.

Just from its appearance alone, Chan Yu already felt reluctant to drink it.

He leaned toward the rim and took a sip.

The first thing he tasted was the cheese foam.

The combination of salty and sweet was unique.

Its creamy fragrance was captivating, and its texture was as soft and dense as a cloud.

“Salty and sweet.”

Chan Yu gave his evaluation before continuing.

As the foam melted on his tongue, traces of fruit flavor emerged afterward.

The light fragrance of green tea highlighted the sweetness of the fruit, creating an overall refreshing taste.

When he bit into the large fruit pieces, juice burst across his mouth.

The slush quietly melted from body heat, leaving lingering sweetness between his lips and teeth.

Gently shaking the cup, Chan Yu watched the pink fruit layer and creamy milk layer begin to blend together, forming a soft pink-and-white gradient.

He became completely absorbed in the experience.

A smear of cheese foam had settled on the corner of his lips, yet he remained unaware.

His movements were elegant.

Head lowered, expression focused, he drank sip after sip as the milk tea gradually disappeared.

When only one-third remained, the cheese foam had fully merged with the fruit tea, creating a silky, milk-like texture.

The taste transformed once more.

“How amazing.”

Someone watching nearby couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.

Staring at his senior brother, green-eyed jealousy practically overflowed from his gaze.

He had run too slowly earlier and ended up at the very back of the line.

Who knew when it would finally be his turn to enjoy such a drink?
