"Boss, a cup of Lonesome Burning Immortal Grass and a cup of Death Milk Tea."
A guy who looked like a college student walked to the entrance of the milk tea shop under the urging of his companions. He looked up and browsed through the menu on the wall before mustering up the courage to speak to the female store manager inside.
The female store manager, who was smoking, gave him a sideways glance and slowly blew out a smoke ring. "Loneliness and death are two things that you can't have at the same time."
"Ah? Then … what should I do? " Although he already knew that the owner of the shop was a strange person, he still did not expect her to reject the customer's order without hesitation. He stood there in a daze.
"If it's you, drink some mineral water." The female store manager said as she opened the freezer at the side. She took out a bottle of Nongfu Spring Water and handed it over.
The male college student took the mineral water in a daze.
"Four yuan. Pay with Alipay and WeChat QR code," the female store manager said and sat back down.
"Ah," the male college student snapped out of his daze. "That's so expensive. Isn't it only one yuan in Nongfu Spring Water Supermarket?"
"That's right, but this is a milk tea shop." The female store manager pointed at the signboard above her head.
The male college student was probably intimidated by the female store manager's imposing manner. In the end, he paid in a daze and walked back to his companions with a bottle of mineral water. The group of people burst into laughter.
This was originally a truth or dare event. They all knew that the owner of this milk tea shop was a strange person. In fact, other than the brave people who went there for the discount on the first day of the shop's opening, when everyone fully experienced the lady boss's willfulness, the shop immediately became deserted.
Right now, the only use of this place was that it was used by the nearby students as an excellent place for adventures and pranks. But when the group of university students finished laughing, they were astonished to find that there was another person who wasn't afraid of death walking into the milk tea shop.
Moreover, it was a girl who was outstanding in both appearance and temperament. When she walked on the street, the neon signboards of the shops around her seemed to dim.
"Give me a cup of anything." The girl entered the shop and sat on a high stool.
The female store manager narrowed her eyes when she heard that. "If I knew you were so persistent, I wouldn't have saved you at the sea back then for his sake."
"If you hadn't saved me back then, I would've attacked you by now," the girl said in a respectful tone, but her words were not that respectful.
The female owner's eyes narrowed. At the same time, the atmosphere in the milk tea shop became more and more tense. Even the passersby seemed to feel something and quickened their pace when they passed by the shop.
However, the next moment, the female shop owner suddenly spoke again, "It's a mistake of unrequited love."
"What?"
"Didn't you say anything? I've made up my mind. I'll give you a glass of Unrequited Love, because the person you love is no longer in this world," the female store manager said sarcastically.
The girl shook her head and did not argue with the woman on this issue. Instead, she asked, "Why don't you continue to be a bartender?"
"Because I told someone that I would never mix drinks again, and I'm a man of my word." The female store manager said proudly. She used hot water to boil a cup of oolong tea, then cut two lemons and squeezed lemon juice into the tea. "Since you're not looking for me to fight, are you really here to take care of my business?"
"As far as I know, most of the gods have left this world and entered the game. You're one of the few who haven't left, so I'm here to deliver you a message."
"What message?"
"The guardians have suffered heavy losses, but they have recently completed their reorganization. Their goal is no longer to prevent the destruction of the world, but to find and kill the supernatural creatures that are still in the human world," the girl paused. "And after the first round of voting, I was elected as the vice president."
"Are you planning to use my head to boost your prestige in the new organization?" The female store manager raised her eyebrows.
"No, it's the opposite. I'm here to tell you to be careful. It's best to close the milk tea shop to avoid the limelight. You saved me. Although you and those monsters killed my friends, I don't want to hurt you unless it's absolutely necessary. I hope you can abide by the laws and rules of the human world in the future …"
However, before the girl could finish her sentence, the female store manager interrupted her with a sinister smile. "You want to hit on me? Just do it, but you'd better bring more people with you. Otherwise, I'm afraid it won't be enough for me to warm up. "
"I know you have an immortal body, but sometimes death is not the scariest thing. In fact, the guardians have basically figured out your current abilities and strength. They can even make an accurate numerical table. He … we may not be able to kill you, but we're no longer helpless against you," the girl said sincerely.
The girl said sincerely, "So, please don't do evil in the future, especially since your identity is very sensitive. You are that thing's servant. Zhang Heng spent so much effort to imprison that thing again. I will not let you release it no matter what."
The sarcasm on the female store manager's face grew, but before she could say anything, she heard another voice. "Give me a cup of Traveler's Cheese."
For some reason, the milk tea shop, which had always been deserted, was suddenly visited by customers one after another tonight.
The female store manager turned her head, and when she saw the person, her expression became a little strange. "Why are you here?"
"Why can't it be me?" the person asked with a chuckle.
It was also a girl, but she looked thinner than the girl sitting on the high stool. She was wearing a pair of jeans with holes in them and a baseball cap.
She placed a nine-headed snake made of plasticine on the ordering counter, then greeted the girl on the high stool and sat next to her.
"There's no more Traveler's Cheese. I'll give you a cup of Unrequited Love," the female store manager sneered.
"But I don't like lemons." The girl took off the baseball cap on her head, revealing a pair of extraordinarily smart eyes. "I'm leaving in a while, and Traveler's Cheese suits me better."
"Leaving? Where are we going?"
"To find a guy."
"Do you know where he is?"
"I don't know, but I will look for him in every dungeon. One day, I will find him." The girl in the baseball cap smiled brightly.
Surprisingly, the female store manager did not mock her this time. After a moment of silence, she said, "Wait a minute."
The girl on the other side of the high stool was also surprised. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, she did not say anything.
After a while, the female store manager placed two glasses of different colors in front of the two girls. "Here's your drink. I hope you won't regret your choice."
The girl in the baseball cap was the first to pick up the cup in front of her. "I never regret my choice."
The girl on the high stool sighed softly. "Sometimes I really envy you. You can completely ignore everything else..."
"No, you and I are actually the same kind of person. We only care about the things that are most important to us," the girl in the baseball cap said.
"Although I'm a little reluctant, I have to admit that you are right." The girl on the high stool also picked up the cup in front of her. "Then, I wish you a smooth journey."
"I wish you a smooth journey too." The girl in the baseball cap took a sip of the drink in her hand. Although the tea was a little bitter at the first sip, she soon tasted the sweetness of the cheese. Other than that, there seemed to be some kind of fruit mixed in the drink. In the end, the refreshing feeling prevailed.
The girl in the baseball cap finally knew why the drink was called Traveler's Cheese. When she looked at the female store manager again, she found that the latter had returned to the ordering counter. She had a cigarette in her mouth, looking at the moon above her head. She seemed to be thinking of something.
