The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Tang Rao grinned at Xiao Yun, his face wearing a smile.

To Xiao Yun, Tang Rao's smirk was just too detestable...

He's even laughing, laugh at your damn big head, ghost. If it wasn't for my sister, I'd turn you into a meat pancake.

"Xiao Yun, hurry up and apologize to me. Just say 'I'm sorry, Brother Tang Rao,' and I'll forgive you. I'll even give you some candy." Tang Rao took out two large lollipops and said with squinted eyes.

Seeing the lollipops, Xiao Yun blinked, what are these? Although she had never seen them before, they looked fun.

Tang Rao tore the wrapping off the lollipops.

"So sweet!" Xiao Yun's sense of smell was definitely sharp; she immediately smelled the sweet scent of the lollipops.

Kids, after all, love sweet things the most.

"Apologize, and I'll give it to you," Tang Rao saw the longing in Xiao Yun's eyes.

"I'm sorry," Xiao Yun said immediately, then reached out to ask Tang Rao for the lollipop.

"That won't do, you have to call me 'Brother Tang Rao,'" Tang Rao shook his head.

Xiao Yun: "..."

"Hurry up, otherwise, I'll eat it myself. Let me tell you, I only have these two, and once they're gone, that's it," Tang Rao said as he waved the lollipops in his hand.

"Brother Tang Rao, I was wrong, I'm sorry!" Xiao Yun gave in, or more precisely, she gave in to the lollipops.

Under the peach blossom tree, the woman looked clearly surprised; she had indeed never seen Xiao Yun apologize to anyone like this.

Even when she did something bad and was asked to apologize, she would do it impatiently and gruffly.

"Here, take it." Tang Rao handed one lollipop to Xiao Yun and kept the other one.

Xiao Yun didn't say anything and started licking the lollipop by her mouth.

"So sweet, so sour, so delicious!" Xiao Yun said, her eyes squinted with joy, holding the lollipop and her face full of enjoyment.

...

"So, what can I do for you, beautiful lady?" Tang Rao looked at the woman under the peach blossom tree.

The woman also looked at Tang Rao, her gaze complicated.

"Although you're wearing a veil, I can tell you're a super beauty. I mean, just looking at your figure is super thrilling, and you have beautiful eyes and skin that looks tender and fair. Tsk, tsk, tsk. But let me tell you, I am a man of dignity and faith. Don't think just because you're pretty that you can make me give in..." Tang Rao blabbered on.

"Why did you buy the bamboo slip?" the woman asked directly, filtering out Tang Rao's nonsense.

"Eh, is there a particular way to shop? I think the bamboo slip is not bad, can be used as a bookmark, so I bought it," Tang Rao said.

"Ten million Immortal Stones just for a bookmark?" Surprise flashed in the woman's eyes.

Even if you're rich, that's not how you are supposed to splurge, right?

"That's not it. You don't know, but people like me, the wealthy, do have some strange habits. Don't be scared, even the toilet paper I use costs several million Immortal Stones. Not for anyone else, just to feel the luxury of wiping with millions..." Tang Rao said.

"Is that so?" The woman's eyes showed obvious disappointment. It seemed she thought too much.

It can't be that easy; it can't be that coincidental...

As for Tang Rao, his mind was also full of schemes.

Kidding, of course I know what's written on the bamboo slip, but I dare not say it. What if you mean harm? What if you want to kill me?

I'm so weak now; I can't even beat a fourteen or fifteen-year-old kid like Xiao Yun, so I'd better be cautious.

"I'm sorry to have taken up your time, Mr. Tang, please go ahead." The woman nodded, signaling that Tang Rao could leave.

Tang Rao didn't say anything else and turned to leave.

"By the way..." Just after taking a step, Tang Rao turned back, "Can I ask if the words on this bamboo slip are very meaningful to you? You know, I have a friend who has studied lots of scripts, he might be able to help you."

"Meaningful... not really meaningful per se, it's just... never mind, you wouldn't understand, some things cannot be said, some matters are destined from birth." The woman gently shook her head, her eyes deep like the starry sky.

"I see, well, okay then, as long as you think it's good. But if you ask me, all this talk about destiny is just nonsense, I only ever believe in myself," Tang Rao said with a shrug.

"Mr. Tang, take care, I won't see you out." The woman didn't argue with Tang Rao; everyone has their own perspective, and it's never a matter of who's right or wrong.

"I'll see you off!" Xiao Yun finally made a move at this moment, running up to Tang Rao and looking up at him with a beaming smile.

Tang Rao: "..."

Clearly, this little girl had her eyes on the lollipops; a single one definitely wouldn't satisfy her.

Tang Rao simply couldn't refuse her; he was afraid that a refusal would make Xiao Yun go to extremes.

This little girl was too devilish, definitely already at the Luo Xian Realm.

"Alright," Tang Rao nodded his head.

soon, Tang Rao left Fengyun Pavilion with Xiao Yun accompanying him, whereas Shi Pang and Lu Jun followed behind them.

Who would dare to go forward? If they upset Xiao Yun, she might very well punch someone to death.

"Tang Rao, you know, I was indeed a bit rough on you before. But I apologized afterwards... as they say, no fight, no friendship. We're friends now, right?" Xiao Yun looked at Tang Rao and said with an effusive smile.

"Uh, friends, are we?" Tang Rao really didn't know how to respond to that.

"Of course! Since we're friends, shouldn't you share the good stuff? Hey, how about giving me the other lollipop? You're an adult, you shouldn't be eating those kinds of things. Leave it to me, the young maiden!" Xiao Yun said.

Tang Rao: "..."

Damn it, how do I even refute that?

"Okay, but you have to promise me one thing," Tang Rao said.

"Let's hear it."

"Since we're friends, if I ever run into trouble and come to you for help, you've got to help me out," Tang Rao said.

"That's all? Don't worry, I, Xiao Yun, pledge to protect you! Just kidding, if anyone dares to bully you, I'll make sure they regret being born into this world!" Xiao Yun declared proudly.

"Here you go!" Tang Rao handed over another lollipop to Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun's face lit up with excitement.

"Here's another..." Tang Rao chuckled, taking out another lollipop and handing it to Xiao Yun.

"Hey, didn't you say you only had two?" Xiao Yun asked.

"This is from my private stash; I'll give it to you as well," Tang Rao said with a pained expression.

"Alright then, originally I wanted to beat you up after getting the lollipop, but since you're being like this, let's forget it. You're actually a pretty nice guy," Xiao Yun pouted as she spoke.

Tang Rao: "..."

"Well, I'm off then."

"Oh yeah, Xiao Yun, give a message to your sister for me. Tell her: 'Peach blossom is very beautiful,'" Tang Rao said.

"Peach blossom? What's that?" Xiao Yun looked puzzled.

"Nothing much, just tell it to your sister, off you go," Tang Rao said with a smile.

"Okay, bye!" Xiao Yun waved and then whooshed away without a trace.
