The children nodded hurriedly, startled, none daring to underestimate Baili Wanwan anymore. Only then did Baili Wanwan retract the water wall, intending to return the way she came to wait for Aunt Zhang Xiu.

The remaining children were more shocked than frightened.

"Do you think Wanwan might be a monster?"

As Baili Wanwan left, the children huddled together and whispered among themselves.

"But the tree says that monsters all have long fangs, and three heads and six arms!" another child gestured, then added uncertainly, "Wanwan is so cute, and she hasn't transformed, so she shouldn't be a monster..."

"What else could that be but a monster? She can control the sea!"

Upon hearing this, the children looked at each other and saw their own wet clothes.

Suddenly, one of the slightly older children inside said, "Could it be that Wanwan is a fairy who descended from heaven? Fairies can also use magic!"

After his reminder, the other children nodded in agreement, thinking it was quite possible.

Moreover, everyone thinks that Baili Wanwan is so cute that only a fairy could look like her.

So everyone rushed after Baili Wanwan. Baili Wanwan thought they were still not convinced and was about to teach them a lesson when they surrounded her, calling her "Fairy, Fairy."

Baili Wanwan glanced at them and asked in a childish voice, "Why do you call me a fairy..."

One child answered, "Because you have magic!"

Everyone chimed in, "That's right! That's right! Only fairies know magic!"

Baili Wanwan wanted to say that she wasn't a fairy, but there seemed to be no way to explain her ability to use magic.

At this moment, several children chimed in, "Fairy, you know magic, so why don't you be our leader? We'll all listen to you!"

"Yes! Yes! You'll be our boss!!"

A group of children chimed in.

Children don't have that many ulterior motives. They don't actually think that having magic is a strange thing. On the contrary, they think that if they have a boss who can use magic, it would be very prestigious to talk about it.

Baili Wanwan was pleased to be coaxed by these people, so she slowly cleared her throat and said to them, "Since you insist that I be your leader, then I agree!"

Several children cheered happily, jumping and skipping.

Baili Wanwan hurriedly said, "Since you've made me your leader, the first rule is that you can't reveal that I know magic!"

The children were stunned: "Why...?"

"That's right, why is that..."

They had originally planned to go out and show off, but now the men all looked rather unhappy.

Baili Wanwan thought for a moment and then said, "Think about it, if everyone knew, they would all acknowledge me as their leader. Would you be willing to do that?"

"Of course not!"

They were the ones who discovered the fairies first, and they would definitely be unhappy if someone else became a fairy.

So everyone decided to listen to Baili Wanwan and not reveal her identity. That way, the fairy could only be their leader!

Baili Wanwan glanced at these people with great satisfaction, but didn't forget to warn them that if anyone dared to tell anyone, she would definitely teach them a lesson with magic.

The group of children quickly promised that they wouldn't tell anyone.

After resolving these matters, Baili Wanwan suddenly remembered something important.

So, taking advantage of the fact that all the children were there, she began to question them: "Who told you what you just said?!"

Faced with Baili Wanwan's questioning, the children initially didn't want to talk.

But Baili Wanwan immediately put on a stern face and said to them, "If you don't tell me, or dare to lie to me, then I will punish you!"

Upon hearing this, the group immediately implicated Wan Qiusui.

Baili Wanwan nodded in satisfaction and then let them go.

Just then, Zhang Xiu returned from hauling in the net and saw Baili Wanwan surrounded by a group of children from the village. He called out to her, telling her to go home.

Baili Wanwan rushed over, and Zhang Xiu also noticed that she was covered in dirt.

This happened when she fell down and got stuck to the skin while some kids were bullying her.

Although it retaliated later, the marks on the clothes remained.

"What happened?! They bullied you, didn't they?"

Zhang Xiu guessed roughly what was going on, and then glared at the children with great displeasure.

When the children saw their parents, they all scattered in fright. Baili Wanwan quickly took Zhang Xiu's hand and comforted her in a soft voice, "Auntie, I'm alright, let's go home!"

Not long after this incident, at noon, a large crowd gathered in front of the Wan family's house.

"Come out! Is nobody going to do anything about this?! Do they think we're easy to bully?!"

A commotion arose, and Wan Suizhou and Zhang Xiu hurriedly went out to investigate.

It turned out that the parents of the children who had been frightened away that morning had come to the door.

Seeing their child soaking wet and the men acting all mysterious, they knew something had happened.

Under pressure from their parents, some children revealed the names of the Wan family members.

"Everyone, what's going on? Why is this happening?"

Wan Suizhou was the first to step out and asked with a friendly expression.

"What's wrong? You should ask your own child. Look how badly they've bullied my child!"

Wan Suizhou was unaware of what had happened that morning. Upon hearing the parents' words, he assumed that Wan Yuekui and Wan Yuechi had caused trouble again, and hurriedly called the two children out to apologize.

But Wan Yuekui and Wan Yuechi were stunned when they saw this scene. They hadn't played with these kids today, so they weren't going to take the blame for it.

Several parents quickly exclaimed, "It's not them, it's your little girl!"

It goes without saying who this little girl is talking about.

But when Wan Suizhou looked at the children of the parents who were causing trouble, and then at Baili Wanwan, who was only three years old, his brows furrowed instantly.

"I could believe them if they said they bullied Wanwan, but this..."

Upon hearing this, several parents' expressions instantly changed. Some, with even worse tempers, pointed at Wan Suizhou's nose and angrily shouted, "What! You want to deny it?!"

Wan Suizhou thought to himself, if only one parent came looking for him, it might not be true, but if a group of parents came looking for him, then it needs to be verified.

Moreover, these children have behaved very well since Baili Wanwan came out, which makes the Wan family feel like their soft and sweet little girl is acting like a big shot outside.

"Fellow villagers, let's talk this out. If it's true, we won't deny it..." Wan Suizhou said.

"Then tell us! How will you compensate us?" Upon hearing this, some parents climbed up in response to Wan Suizhou's words.

Just then, Zhang Xiu spoke up.

"Since we're talking about compensation, I wonder if my Wanwan injured your child in any way?"
