"Young master, please wait a moment, I have a few more words to say..." Wan Suizhou frowned and stopped Lin Lan.

Lin Lan was puzzled, but listened attentively.

Wan Suizhou said, "Although what I said may be presumptuous, it is the truth..."

He paused, then fixed his gaze on Lin Lan and said, "Our Wan family is just an ordinary family. We've settled here and only want to live a peaceful life. We don't want to cause any trouble. Children can play together regardless of their background, and I don't object to that. But I have something to warn you, young master..."

"If the young master cannot guarantee that he will not cause trouble for the Wan family in the future, then please do not bring the young lady here again."

After all, he couldn't control other people's families, and he didn't want his own family to be hurt because of it.

Although Lin Lan was young, she was still taken aback by Wan Suizhou's words.

This made Lin Lan raise her head and look Wan Suizhou in the eye.

Although Wan Suizhou was dressed in coarse cloth, he had a proper posture, was energetic, and his mannerisms were unlike those of the uncouth people in the village.

Lin Lan guessed that he must be a knowledgeable person, so she hurriedly and sincerely agreed.

Lin Yang'er then settled down at the Wan family's house. At night, Zhang Xiu coaxed the two little girls to sleep, while Wan Kongshan was sent to sleep with his two sons.

With another younger sister in the family, Wan Yuekui and Wan Yuechi were well-behaved and wouldn't bully anyone.

Wherever Wanwan went during the day, Lin Yang'er followed closely behind. Since Wanwan couldn't go fishing with her aunt, she took Lin Yang'er to the beach at low tide to collect crabs and other small creatures.

As Lin Yang'er spent more time with Wanwan, her smiles gradually became more frequent.

The two went to the beach as usual that day. In order to chase a big and fat crab, they chased it barefoot, and their clear laughter echoed on the beach.

It wasn't until they caught the crab that the two realized they had walked quite a distance.

"Let's go back. If we go too far, our aunts will worry."

Wanwan, carrying a small basket, looked up and spoke to Lin Yang'er.

Lin Yang'er nodded in agreement.

Just as the two were about to go back, they suddenly heard crying coming from the rocks not far away.

"Don't cry! Give me that candied hawthorn! Otherwise, I'm going to punch you!"

Hearing the domineering and unreasonable voice, the two exchanged a glance, then silently climbed onto the reef, ready to investigate.

They carefully lay down on the jumbled rocks and looked up into the distance.

There stood a little boy, about six or seven years old, wailing loudly.

Across from him, Wan Qiusui was enjoying the candied hawthorn she had snatched.

"You stole my candied hawthorn! I'm going home to tell my dad!"

The little boy cried as he spoke to Wan Qiusui.

But Wan Qiusui wasn't afraid at all, and even threatened him, "If you dare tell your father, I'll beat you every time I see you!"

Wan Qiusui was a notorious troublemaker in Lanhai Village. He bullied younger children all day long, which made them afraid to play with him.

The little boy only stumbled upon it by chance, which is why he was able to snatch the candied hawthorn.

With Wan Qiuhui's threats, the little boy was really frightened. He didn't dare to ask for the candied hawthorn back and ran away quickly.

"Oh, Wan Qiu Sui! She's bullying me again!"

Baili Wanwan puffed out her cheeks in anger, looking like she was about to rush up and hit someone.

Lin Yang'er, who was standing to the side, had never seen such a scene before.

She hid behind Baili Wanwan, a little scared, and whispered, "Let's go home and get an adult. That boy looks so fierce; he'll beat us up if he sees us..."

"Don't be afraid, Yang'er! Watch how I teach him a lesson!"

Baili Wanwan had long disliked Wan Qiusui's bullying of others!

With a flick of her small hand, the seawater transformed into small water columns that flew into the air, driven by the spirit pearl.

Wanwan practiced a couple of times, not very skillfully, and then the small water column flew swiftly towards Wan Qiusui like a little water snake that had come to life.

Wan Qiusui was happily eating a candied hawthorn when he suddenly felt something poking his shoulder.

"Who is it! Don't disturb me while I'm eating my candied hawthorn!"

At first he didn't take it seriously, but after a while, something was still bothering him.

He got impatient and turned around abruptly, intending to teach this person a lesson.

But when he turned around, he was dumbfounded.

Before him stood a water-like snake, its forked tongue flicking out as it coldly stared at him.

The snake was coiled up, yet it was as tall as him.

Wan Qiusui stared blankly, fear gradually creeping into her eyes, but her feet seemed nailed to the spot, unable to move an inch.

"What...what is this...?"

Wan Qiusui had never met him before, and he could barely speak properly.

It was noon, and almost all the adults in the village had gone home. The vast beach was deserted.

Just then, the snake suddenly opened its mouth and hissed at him.

He closed his eyes in fright, and then the snake spat out a mouthful of seawater, spraying it all over him.

"Ah!! The water monster is eating children!!"

Wan Qiusui plopped down on the ground and scrambled backward.

Baili Wanwan covered her mouth and chuckled, controlling the water snake to chase him for half a meter.

Wan Qiusui was so frightened that she wet her pants. She even abandoned the candied hawthorn that had fallen on the ground and ran home crying and howling.

Only then did Baili Wanwan stop, satisfied.

"Hmph! That'll teach you to be a bad student!"

Lin Yang'er, who was standing to the side, was stunned.

But she wasn't scared at all; instead, she became even more convinced that Baili Wanwan was a fairy!

Fairy girls are beautiful, have magic powers, and can even drive away bad guys!

Lin Yang'er is such an adorer of Baili Wanwan!

Looking at Baili Wanwan, she felt both happy and excited, and secretly thought, "This fairy sister is so amazing, she can't be discovered by others."

So she decided! She would keep this secret! And not let anyone else find out!

Baili Wanwan was unaware that her actions had already won her a devoted fan.

She is usually very careful when using magic. This time, she just thought that even if Wan Qiusui went home to complain, no one would see it and wouldn't believe it. She would take this opportunity to teach her a lesson.

But Baili Wanwan forgot that she had Lin Yang'er, that little clingy devil, following her behind.

Just as she was preparing to organize her thoughts and say something to cover it up, Lin Yang'er spoke first.

"Fairy sister, I know, you used this trick to save me before. I will keep your secret and won't tell anyone, don't worry!"

Her confident expression made Baili Wanwan a little embarrassed.

Seeing that she was clinging to her even more and listening to her even more, Baili Wanwan wanted to persuade her to go home.

After all, her aunt's family was very poor. If she couldn't help her aunt's family catch fish, they couldn't exchange them for money, and then her aunt's family would go hungry.
