Dao of the Milk Tea

Politics, infighting, admin—climbing the ranks of a big sect wasn’t as cool as it sounded. So Nguyễn Nam Phương decided to have an early retirement and live in seclusion, tinkering away in his workshop whenever he felt like it.

However, for some reason, more and more people started coming to his place to have some bubble tea.

Huh? Bubble tea was giving these cultivators enlightenment????

This is not the dao of the salted fish, this is the dao of the milk tea??!!

Serving all these new guests is tiring! Ahhh, at least Phương can relieve some stress by teasing the little dragon~!

‘Little’ dragon Long Quang: ….. (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

Long Quang: … If you tease me, you have to give me a free cup of bubble tea!

Notes:

This story was originally conceived for the BL Palace’s water anthology but then it got too long for the anthology…It’s inspired by Order of the Sommelier and blatantly includes bits and pieces from Vietnamese mythology and legends (among other cultures’ cultural references!)

This story shouldn’t be as long as Dao of the Salted Fish, and definitely won’t be as long as These Side Characters Have More Important Things To Do! *author waves flag*

In some senses, this is the spiritual baby of three of my past stories, matcha & milk, Dao of the Salted Fish, and eat a mango, gift a garden.

The posting schedule is Monday + Friday. Enjoy~!
