Chapter 629 - 622: Assassination
"Tsk tsk, so sweet, this cotton candy is too sweet."
With one hand holding a rose and the other holding pink cotton candy, An Momo and Yue Linglong looked rather odd.
The two girls took big bites of the cotton candy, their hair mingling with the sugary strands, and they were chewing with faces full of happiness and satisfaction!

Her mouth was stuffed, her cheeks round and puffy, and her eyes crinkled into crescent moons as she smiled joyfully.
Even more hilarious was that these two grown-up girls, thrilled by their treat, were swinging their legs in delight, just like kids who get excited over something tasty.
"Hey, ladies, the way people are staring at us could kill me a thousand times over."
Ye Tian stood there with black lines all over his face, speechless at the sight of the two girls.
Gong Yashi had been out for too long and, after receiving Mu Yurouās rose, had happily gone back to Yashi Pavilion to mind the store.
Now, their location was another famous spot in Wangfujingāthe Magpie Bridge.
Itās said that the Cowherd and Weaver were separated by the Queen Mother across the Galaxy, and every Chinese Valentineās Day, countless magpies fly in to form a bridge so that the lovers can be reunited.
Itās a rather melancholic love story.
"Brother Ye Tian, try this, itās very sweet." Yue Linglong stood up and offered him the cotton candy.
Ye Tian shook his head and said, "Linglong, you eat it. I donāt like things that are too sweet."
On the other side, An Momo was swinging her feet and shaking her head from side to side, sitting on the bridge right above the river, not afraid of falling at all.
Ye Tian said, "Missy, can you stop eating and swinging your legs at the same time? Thereās a river below; if you fall, who will save you?"
"I tell you, I canāt swim."
An Momo raised her head proudly and shouted, "Big Soul, I donāt need you to save me. Iām excellent at swimming, the best in the world!!"
Saying this, she even raised one hand high and kicked her legs.
Sure enough, the consequences of boasting came immediately; she lost her balance and fell backward, "Ahhh!! Ye Tian, hurry and save me!!"
"You silly girl, showing off!" Ye Tian almost laughed his stomach out, but in a split second, he grabbed An Momoās waist and pulled her back.
Ye Tianās hand encircled An Momoās slender waist, firm but soft to the touch even through her clothes.
An Momoās body trembled slightly... she felt a bit hot all over, instinctively wanting to push Ye Tian away but also somehow hoping he wouldnāt let go.
"Let go of me now!!" An Momoās cold voice reached Ye Tianās ears.
Ye Tianās lips curled into a mischievous smile, "Alright, donāt regret it!!"
All of a sudden, Ye Tian let go, and An Momo lost her balance again and fell backward, "Ahhh!! Big Soul, who told you to let go!!!"
"Alright, I wonāt mess with you anymore." Ye Tian saw that An Momoās face was very pale. He pulled her into his arms, patting her back, "Donāt be scared, Iām here!"
"Hehe, youāre here?" An Momo gritted her teeth, turned to face him, smiling sweetly, "Did you do that on purpose!!!"
"I swear, I didnāt know it would happen, it really wasnāt on purpose." Ye Tian looked as if he had been wronged.
"Soul, you did that on purpose, now Iām mad!!" An Momo said angrily.
"Mad? Alright, Iāll give you a White Rabbit candy, open your mouth." Ye Tian took out a white candy from his pocket, grinning wickedly.
"You think a candy will make it up to me, huh." An Momo really opened her mouth, popping the candy in, accidentally biting Ye Tianās hand.
Ye Tian jerked his hand back, patting her little head, "An Momo, are you a dog??"
"I... I didnāt mean to." An Momoās cheeks puffed up, feeling utterly embarrassed, wishing she could disappear.
She liked to bite the candy first before putting it in her mouth, but in her fluster, she bit Ye Tian instead.
Yue Linglong watched them, her lips pouting, eyes darting around, looking like she was watching a flirtatious banter.
After leaving Ye Tianās embrace, An Momoās heart was nearly jumping out of her throat; she had tightly hugged his waist moments ago, feeling somewhat happy inside.
That feeling was tingly and numb, like having her whole body massaged by electric currents, very pleasant.
"Itās almost noon, we should head back." Ye Tian looked at Yue Linglong, "Linglong, should I take you home?"
"Brother Ye Tian, come have lunch at my place!" Yue Linglong jumped lightly, tilting her head, holding up a large bouquet of roses, laughing cheerfully.
"Well..." Ye Tian glanced at An Momo, suddenly his eyes sharpened, he quickly moved to Yue Linglongās side and grabbed her, pivoting, "Watch out!!"
"Momo, crouch down, thereās an assassin!!!"
"Watch out..." Ye Tian shouted, pulling An Momo into his arms and pressing their heads down, then urgently bent his head.
An Momo and Yue Linglongās minds went blank, and Ye Tian tightly pressed them under him, shielding them.
Once the protective shield surrounded the two women, Ye Tian released them and said sternly, "You two, stay right here, donāt move a step until I return!!"
"Hehe, interesting." Ye Tian plucked two rose petals and flung them toward the two shadows.
On the other side.
"Bang~~~"
Picking leaves to harm people, such a skillful move, the enemies knew they hit a hard wall.
"Damn, damn, why didnāt that idiot mention Yue Linglong had such an expert protecting her!!"
"He wants us dead; Iāll kill him myself when we get back!!"
The two shadowy figures moved like leopards in full sprint, quickly dashing into an empty alley.
Five minutes later.
"Huff huff huff~~~~ that guy probably isnāt following us anymore!!"
"Maybe not, but our assassination attempt has failed!!"
The two shadows panted, leaning against the wall, drenched in sweat, looking utterly exhausted as if they used up every ounce of strength.
"You two ran pretty fast." A teasing voice reached their ears. They looked up to see Ye Tianās face.
If it werenāt for being in a crowded area, Ye Tian could have easily taken them down with a single move!!!
"So young? The one who picked the leaves to attack wasnāt you!!"
"Daring to follow us, you must be pretty gutsy!!"
One of them, seeing Ye Tianās young and handsome face, realized, holding a poisoned knife which would be fatal if it cut even a bit.
"Youāve got a vivid imagination."
Ye Tian shook his head and chuckled lightly.
