C5 Lollipop

In response to the theft of the kitchen, Tao Laosan instinctively cast a vicious glance at Ye Yuan, who had suddenly appeared. However, Ye Yuan's expressionless face did not reveal the slightest flaw.

With nothing to sell, Tao Xiaozui didn't bother to run the store. She put a sign on the door and closed it.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she took out the sugar jar, the malt candy, and the dried osmanthus, asking Ye Yuan to cut the bamboo sticks. Third Brother Tao helped to light the fire, heating and melting a jar of sugar, osmanthus, and malt candy.

Tao Xiaotu boiled the bamboo stick that Ye Yuan had sharpened and stuck it into the lollipop that hadn't completely solidified. When the candy had completely solidified, she took it out of the mold and handed it to Ye Yuan.

"Seeing that you're pretty, I'll give you the first one to eat."

Ye Yuan held the bamboo stick and looked at it curiously. It was a half-transparent pink ball with tiny osmanthus flowers mixed in it. It looked very pretty. He stuck out his tongue and licked it. His eyes lit up and he stuffed the lollipop into his mouth. The rich sweet taste had a hint of the sweet scent of osmanthus flowers, and the taste was not bad!

"Pfft -" Tao Xiaosui covered her mouth and giggled as she looked at Ye Yuan's puffy cheeks. She seemed to have suddenly discovered that this man was obsessed with food.

Only when she saw Ye Yuan's face darken did she take out another lollipop and feed it to the little toad.

In the kitchen of the Tao family's small courtyard, Tao Xiaozui and the two rough men made a lot of lollipops. The molds were limited.

The next morning, as soon as a large plate of assorted candies was laid out, it attracted the attention of many people, especially the children, who leaned over the counter and drooled over the lollipops, demanding that the adults buy one.

"Mother, mother, I want that pink little rabbit's!"

"I want two, a blue kitten and that pretty ball..."

"Give me a few too, I'll bring them back for my nephews and nephews to try!"

Tao Xiaozui looked at the empty store and felt a lot happier. Although they had made an unknown windfall, the customers were not as interested in the Han Baos as they were in Ye Yuan's. After two days of novelty, they bought less. Now that they had lollipops, the Taos' snack store became popular again.

When no one was looking, Tao Xiaozui carried the little toad under the counter and put her hand in the little toad's mouth.

It was actually an enchanting flower that was extremely popular on TikTok. She even gave it a few batteries!

She hurriedly pulled Ye Yuan, who was cleaning up the shop, over. Without saying anything, she stuffed the enchanting flower into his hand and quickly pressed the switch.

Ye Yuan didn't know what to make of it, but all of a sudden, the pot of flowers with the big red lips and the seven-colored petals in his hand began to wriggle. It was accompanied by a beautiful melody that he couldn't quite put his finger on.

"This, this..." Ye Yuan felt that words couldn't express the shock in his heart.

"Hahaha..." Tao Xiaozui looked at his adorable appearance and laughed uncontrollably, "I'm dying of laughter! Ah Yuan, why are you so cute?"

Cute? Ye Yuan, the leader of the assassin organization who had killed countless people, was speechless, but he silently put the flower that was still singing and twisting into his arms.

She snatched the antique toy from him and showed him how to switch it on. "This thing is called the Allure Flower."

Finally, the pot of enchanting flowers was tucked into his arms by Ye Yuan, who was staring at him with his little, innocent eyes.

Tao Laosan had recently been addicted to making handbags and lollipops, while Ye Yuan was obsessed with studying the enchanting flowers. Tao Xiaozui felt bored, so she took the silver to display her female specialty - shopping.

After she had gone through most of the shops in Clear Mountain Town, Tao Xiaozui finally returned with her bags, but when she reached the end of an empty alley, a man in black suddenly rushed out and hit her on the neck with a stick, dragging her down the alley.

A figure flashed in the far corner and flew into Ye Yuan's room.

When she woke up again, she found herself in a broken temple. Her hands and feet were tied to a pillar and there were a few people in black talking near the door.

"Boss, can this little girl lure him here?"

The leader of the men in black looked around vigilantly and spoke in a low voice." [When did the King of Hell become so close to a girl? Doesn't it mean something?] Last time, he escaped, but he was badly injured. If he comes this time, I will kill him!"

The men in black answered.

Tao Xiaosui quietly observed every corner of the ruined temple. After confirming the escape route, she began to quietly break free from the ropes.

Perhaps these people thought that she was a weak woman who didn't need much effort, and the rope was careless. With just a slight movement of her wrist, the rope was released.

She took advantage of the fact that the man in black was not looking, and crept towards one of the broken windows; but she was only a few steps from it, when one of the men in black suddenly turned his head, and shouted: "Boss, that woman is running!"

"Humph! She chose the hard way!" The leader of the men in black fiercely rushed over with his long sword. His eyes were full of viciousness." That man has received the message anyway. He will die sooner or later. Let's get rid of this girl first! Go!"

Tao Xiaosui quickly ran to the window. However, these men in black were not weak at all. The man in the lead was good at flying art. He jumped down and stabbed at Tao Xiaosui with his sword.

"You dare to hurt her?!" Tao Xiaosui had nowhere to retreat to. Just as she was about to dodge the sword with her injured arm, a figure suddenly flew in from outside the window.

Tao Xiaosui turned around and saw the expression on Ye Yuan's face stiffen. A strong smell of blood instantly assaulted her nose. Quickly let go of me, I have a way to deal with them!"

However, Ye Yuan was still holding her. He suddenly struck out a palm and forced the man in black who had wounded him to retreat. He jumped out of the window and flew to a carriage at the intersection.

Tao Laosan, who was driving the carriage, quickly got off and greeted him. His fierce expression was no longer as casual as before, "Get on the carriage!"

Ye Yuan watched Tao Xiaosu climb onto the carriage and suddenly took a step back. His eyes were bloodshot, "I still have things to do. You guys go back first."

"But..." Tao Xiaosui could guess that this matter was related to Ye Yuan. She bit her lips, took out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve, poured a pill into his mouth, and advised with concern, "Don't try to be brave. There will be opportunities for revenge in the future."

Ye Yuan pursed his lips and did not speak. His pale face that had lost blood was as firm as a knife.

Tao Laosan sighed as his deep eyes landed on Ye Yuan, "Since I've chosen this path, I can't avoid this. We only want to live a peaceful life. If anyone dares to get my daughter involved in this, no matter who it is, I will never forgive them."

... "I understand." Ye Yuan raised his eyes and looked at Tao Xiaosu. He solemnly cupped his hands towards Tao Laosan and walked towards the ruined temple.

Tao Laosan pushed Tao Xiaosui into the carriage and left in the opposite direction.

He noticed that his daughter was much more depressed than usual, so he tried to persuade her in a soft voice, "Daughter, that boy is like an eagle in the sky, he is not on our side."

"Father," Tao Xiaosui suddenly interrupted him, but her voice was surprisingly calm, "Who are you and mother? I'm afraid you are not some nameless person, right?"

Tao Laosan's expression changed and he fell into silence.

"Father, go back," the door of the carriage suddenly opened, revealing Tao Xiao's calm face. "Father, do you think that you and your mother's daughter will become a normal woman and live a peaceful life?"

Third Brother Tao lowered his head and after a long while, he suddenly turned the car around and ran towards the ruined temple.
