Cheng Shuang felt a pang in her heart. Before figuring out the enemy's strength, it would certainly not be a wise move to cross their bottom line.

Any noise is now the biggest enemy that could disrupt her plans.

The little girl turned and ran out, completely ignoring the mermaid's deep blue eyes, as unfathomable as a whirlpool, and her face filled with a look of forbearance, coldness, and murderous intent.

Of course, even if she noticed the other party's hostility, Cheng Shuang dared to confront this white lotus fish head-on.

In any case, a friendly relationship is out of the question.

Don't say that mermaids are petty and hold grudges; even a little girl isn't a saintly, magnanimous person.

This guy is troublesome, but not insurmountable.

Pull it out of the water, hang it on the castle to dry overnight, and you're guaranteed to get a salted fish the next day.

I'm ignoring it because there are more important things to deal with.

Seeing that the human cub was distracted, the mermaid immediately revealed a villainous, cunning smile. It braced itself on the ground by the pool, raised its head, and was about to let out a piercing scream. Unfortunately, just as the scream was about to come out, a candle seemed to have eyes and suddenly blocked all the channels of sound.

Although the mermaid was ferocious and carnivorous, it was not a brave creature at all. Even though the candle flame had gone out, it was still so frightened that its face turned ashen, and it turned its head to vomit violently. After spitting the candle out of its throat, its little face turned white and it turned around and dived to the bottom of the pool, swimming away quickly.

As for any talk of retaliation, the mermaid temporarily chooses to say goodbye; she can't win against that!

Standing by the pond, Luo An, who had been assigned to supervise the white lotus fish, clapped his hands, turned around and ran back to the flower hall. Just then, he saw the second half-meter-tall dragon sculpture jump heavily from the corner of the wall. Before it could react, the burly brown bear pounced and grabbed its bat-like wings. Ignoring the dragon sculpture's resistance, Cheng Shuang quickly gagged it and stuffed it into the spatial storage, making it a brother in misfortune to the first dragon that had made the first move.

The man and the bear moved swiftly and skillfully, like two ruthless kidnapping experts.

That's right. If the dragon sculptures were simply hanging on the wall, the little girl would have completely ignored them long ago. So why bother trying to make herself noticed?

The third, towering dragon sculpture watched helplessly as its two brothers perished one after another. This time, it learned its lesson and didn't bother jumping down to its own ambush just to scare people. Instead, it flapped its bat-like wings, as if about to raise its head and roar. Tiny sparks appeared, illuminating the dimly lit room like fireflies.

This is a dragon that breathes fire. The flames landed and immediately ignited the fur carpet, the wooden furniture, and even a wooden carving that Cheng Shuang mistook for bronze but was actually coated with tung oil.

Cheng Shuang glanced at the fruit plate on the tea table, picked up a round and big apple, and quickly handed it to the bear cub. The brown bear suddenly grew bigger, its body was fierce, its head could reach the roof, and with a wave of its arm, it easily stuffed the apple into the large mouth of the Western dragon. The fire dragon, which was preparing to unleash a powerful attack, was choked and rolled its eyes back. The bear paws pounced on it and knocked it to the ground, stomping it flat with one foot and crushing it with two.

Such malicious arsonists should not be given a reprieve; they should be killed on the spot.

Seeing that the situation was not good, it stopped flapping its wings and obediently raised its head, standing still like a wooden stake. If it weren't for the slight trembling of its wings, it would really look like a real person.

Cheng Shuang, who was standing on a chair to avoid the flames, looked at it and gave it two thumbs up. This quick thinking deserves praise!

Western dragon statue: Suddenly feeling a little proud, what's going on!

However, the little girl didn't want to leave any potential dangers for herself. She pinched the bear cub between her two fingers, like picking up a chick, and before the fourth dragon could react, she was locked up and reunited with her other two brothers.

The fire flared up, and Luo An and the zombie teamed up to pull down the tapestry from the wall, return to the pool, soak it in water, and let the bear cub take over. After a few swatts, they quickly brought the fire under control. As for the ornaments that had been coated with tung oil, Cheng Shuang grabbed them by the hem of her skirt, kicked them into the wet blanket, wrapped them up, and threw them all into the pool.

Hiding in the next room, the mermaid peered at the sounds from next door, hoping to take advantage of any opportunity. But soon she felt sticky all over, a layer of greasy stuff stuck to her scales, making it hard to breathe. She dove into the water as if trying to escape, only to find that the oily stuff blocked the air, making it even harder to breathe.

The mermaid was terrified and tried to break free of the pool, but the slippery surface of her body made it lose its footing, and her arms couldn't grip the already wet ground.

That's absolutely unfair to the fish!

It roared angrily, though it didn't know what it was yelling about. On impulse, it turned around and swam back, completely forgetting about being vigilant. Without even observing the enemy's situation, it rashly stuck out its head, intending to fight the human cub.

As a result, the blue eyes opened wide in anger and saw a bear paw dangling its large penis in the pool, washing away the charred ash and dirt from the paw.

Upon seeing the golden forehead, the giant bear acted faster than it thought, grabbing the mermaid with its two large paws and pulling it up effortlessly, just like in a claw machine.

The mermaid's hair was being pulled up, and she pitifully hugged her chest, trembling. She looked completely bewildered and felt a sense of despair, as if a natural enemy had descended upon her. Faced with a pair of cold, inorganic beast eyes, she dared not think or do anything. Her azure eyes were filled with tears, and she actually cast a pleading look at the little girl eating an apple beside her.

Cheng Shuang, who had taken a big bite of fruit, looked up and immediately fell silent. She stared at the white lotus fish for two seconds, and with the fish's teary eyes, she reluctantly spat out the piece of fruit and tossed it over with a sigh.

The fruit pulp hit the mermaid's face and slid into the pool.

Mermaid: ...Awooooo, I...I'll knock your ass out! I'll fight you to the death, awooooo...

While the freak stayed outside to keep watch, Cheng Shuang decided to rest in the flower hall. In the latter half of the night, she vaguely heard someone knocking urgently on the door, along with panicked screams. Fearing that the freak would disturb the little girl's sleep, the freak covered her ears with his large cloak, and the little girl turned over and sweetly drifted back into her dream.

The other unknown creatures hiding in the flower hall trembled and dared not move under the menacing gaze of the eerie creature.

Both the first and second-in-command suffered setbacks. They're not stupid; why would they deliberately seek their own demise and run into the line of fire? Wouldn't it be better to just stay alive?

A chaotic night quietly passed.

Early in the morning, the knights opened the doors to the rooms in the castle one by one. The mess inside the golden gate was unexpectedly revealed to them. The knights, with their cold and indifferent expressions, remained unfazed, clearly already used to seeing such a scene in the morning.

But when they discovered a little girl sleeping peacefully amidst the mess in the room, her skin rosy and fair, they exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with surprise. Some even felt as if they had wandered into the wrong movie set, their feelings varying, yet they all felt extremely wary of this seemingly delicate and fragile little princess from the East.
