However, He Yong was quite certain that the fragrance was emanating from Baili Wanwan.
He called out from behind her, "Little sister Wanwan, I wonder what kind of flowers you used for your bath? They smell so good! I want to go up the mountain and pick some myself."
Baili Wanwan tilted her head and fell into deep thought.
The boy's face was flushed red, clearly realizing he had said something inappropriate.
"Wanwan always bathes with plain water and never needs to soak any flowers in the water."
Baili Wanwan answered truthfully.
She could actually smell the fragrance emanating from her body, but she didn't understand why practicing those spells in her dream would make her smell so good.
It's not bad!
"It seems Wan Qiusui can't wait any longer. He always thinks he can beat Wanwan, which is just wishful thinking!"
Baili Wanwan snorted coldly, but her angry expression was still childish and lacked any imposing manner, so naturally she had no intimidating power.
But He Yong couldn't help but like it even more.
The competition was held at the foot of the mountain. Because Baili Wanwan was good at swimming, Wan Qiusui always thought she was a water monster.
Wan Qiusui also felt that since it was a water spirit, it must not be powerful outside of water.
So I specifically chose a place that is farthest from the sea.
With her eyes fixed on Baili Wanwan, Wan Qiusui stood on the opposite side from her.
"Don't blame me for bullying the weak. You're not even human. I'd like to say you're the one bullying me!"
As she spoke, Wan Qiusui began to rub her hands together, plotting how to utterly defeat Baili Wanwan.
Baili Wanwan clearly didn't take him seriously. Then she said to Wan Qiusui, "I'm not a monster. I'm a normal person."
Although I felt a little guilty saying these words, mermaids are still human.
After all, she was a mermaid, she just didn't say the whole word!
“I already know you’re a monster. You don’t need to explain yourself to me. They believe you because you cast a spell on them. But you can’t do anything to me.”
Baili Wanwan looked at Wan Qiusui again, this time her eyes were red with anger.
She is indeed a mermaid, but she has never used magic on anyone else. It's unfounded to try and pin this on her.
A great war is about to break out!
Wan Qiusui charged straight toward Baili Wanwan. He knew that killing someone meant paying with one's life, so he didn't bring any weapons. However, he had prepared some things specifically for dealing with monsters.
For example, peach branches.
He broke off this peach tree at the entrance of the village and used the peach branch to whip it towards Bailiwanwan.
With each lash of the whip, the other children gasped in shock.
"You cheated!" He Yong stepped forward and angrily pointed at Wan Qiusui.
But Wan Qiusui was already blinded by rage at this point, so how could she listen to what others were saying?
He had to win; if he won, he would have countless treasures of gold and silver in Bailiwanwan.
It would be enough for him to live a comfortable life for the rest of his life, and he could even learn from wealthy families to take three wives and four concubines. Why wouldn't he do that?
However, Baili Wanwan dodged swiftly, and Wan Qiusui was completely helpless against her.
Moreover, at this speed, Baili Wanwan could even move to his side, her short legs tripping him up and knocking him to the ground.
The peach wood branch in his hand was snatched away by Baili Wanwan at some point, and she lashed it heavily against his body.
Wan Qiusui clutched her head, constantly crying out in pain.
"Stop fighting, I know I was wrong, please stop, and everything will be fine..."
Baili Wanwan finally threw the peach branch aside, panting heavily from exhaustion.
She had used a lot of strength to hit Wan Qiu Sui earlier. She didn't want to lower herself to their level, but they just kept coming to cause trouble.
"Remember what you promised Wanwan before, and don't bother her unless it's absolutely necessary."
Baili Wanwan put her hands on her hips, snorted coldly, and then puffed out her cheeks in anger.
Wan Qiusui finally recovered and fled in panic, covering her face.
The children began to cheer, but those who had bet on Wan Qiusui were clearly disappointed, since everyone wanted to win.
Winning would have meant buying snacks for days, and even a trip to town. Now all that's gone.
But Bailiwanwan's victory was something to celebrate, and they quickly put all their unhappiness behind them and started celebrating together.
On the other side.
Just as Zhao Damei was about to leave, she saw her son rushing home in a disheveled state from afar. He was stumbling and clearly unsteady on his feet.
It was obvious at a glance that he had been bullied.
Seeing Wan Qiusui's miserable state, Zhao Damei went over to her with heartache and helped her up, saying, "My child, tell your mother, who bullied you like this?"
Zhao Damei cursed, "If I find out which bastard it is, I'll dig up their family's ancestral graves."
Wan Qiu Sui swayed her body, her face full of hatred.
He gritted his teeth and looked into the distance. After angrily recounting the whole story to Zhao Damei, embellishing it with his own words, he cried out, "Mother, I really can't swallow this insult. You must find a way to help me get revenge. That Baili Wanwan is just too outrageous. I'm her uncle, how could anyone treat their own uncle like this?"
Upon learning that it was another long and winding road, Zhao Damei sneered and, without saying a word, dragged Wan Qiusui towards the Wan family home.
She said, "That little vixen really likes to cause trouble. I'll make sure to swindle them out of a lot of money today. If I don't succeed, I'm not Zhao Damei."
Zhao Damei also made a painful decision. Suddenly, she felt that her son's suffering was worthwhile. She could ask Wan Suizhou to invite a doctor to treat Wan Qiusui and extort an extra sum of money from him. This would be a windfall.
"But Mother, a bet is a bet, and I did lose to Baili Wanwan. Won't people laugh at me if word gets out?"
Wan Qiusui still had some pride; after all, he wasn't married yet, and he didn't want to end up a lonely bachelor...
"What's the point of having a face? Besides, this wasn't our fault. It was Baili Wanwan who beat you up like this. We're already being very lenient by not fighting back."
Upon hearing this, Wan Qiusui nodded.
At this moment, Baili Wanwan is having dinner at Wan's house.
Just as Wan Suizhou gave the order to start eating, Zhao Damei suddenly rushed in.
"You still have the mind to eat dinner here? Haven't you seen what that little bitch Baili Wanwan has done to my son? If you don't pay me fifty taels of silver today, you won't have any peace!"
The whole family put down their chopsticks. Only Baili Wanwan looked worried.
Didn't we agree not to cause trouble for no reason?
She knew that Uncle Wan Qiusui was not a trustworthy child and wouldn't agree so easily!
