Chapter 45 The Mermaid Cub Becomes the Boss



So Xie Yongnian and a group of his underlings discussed what to compete in.

"Big brother, how about swimming? Swimming is nothing to be afraid of, the kids from Blue Ocean Village are fearless!"

At this moment, a younger brother who looked rather simple-minded came up and whispered a suggestion.

Xie Yongnian's murderous gaze immediately shot over.

Before he could even turn his head back, Xie Yongnian gave him a sharp rap on the head.

"Swimming my foot! Don't you know how good that little girl is in the water!"

The younger brother, feeling wronged, covered his head and retreated behind Xie Yongnian.

"Big brother! Big brother! Since she's such a good swimmer, let's have a contest of somersaults and tree climbing!"

The other children nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, and running laps! That little girl looks so short, her stamina is definitely not as good as ours!"

Xie Yongnian considered it for a while and finally nodded, agreeing with his younger brother.

"Let's start by having a somersault contest. Whoever does the most somersaults wins. Then we'll have a tree-climbing contest and a lap-running contest, with the same rules!"

Xie Yongnian's eyes held a look of contempt for Baili Wanwan.

But Baili Wanwan was not angry; instead, she very good-naturedly agreed to his suggestion.

"Who wants to go first?" Baili asked him in a low voice.

Xie Yongnian said, "You're younger than me, so you go first. Don't let others say I'm bullying you!"

Baili Wanwan didn't refuse, nodded, and walked to a slightly open space.

"I'm about to begin..."

After she finished speaking, she began to do somersaults forward.

If Xie Yongnian and his group of children did somersaults with no discernible standard, then Baili Wanwan did a perfectly standard somersault.

Moreover, she did somersaults quickly and steadily, leaving the onlookers speechless with astonishment.

Lin Yang'er counted them very obediently on the side.

As everyone listened to her count from one to over forty, Xie Yongnian's expression gradually turned somewhat unpleasant.

On her fiftieth turn, Baili Wanwan did a few more backflips before stopping.

The underlings couldn't help but admire what they saw, but they were all intimidated by Xie Yongnian's glare.

"Yang'er, how many are there?" Baili Wanwan stopped, smoothed her hair, and asked Lin Yang'er without even panting.

Lin Yang'er exclaimed excitedly, "Fairy sister, fifty-three!"

Baili Wanwan clapped her hands and said very easily, "Okay! That's enough for now, I'm afraid you won't be able to do more!"

These words nearly made Xie Yongnian faint.

Now everyone is watching him; if he doesn't do something, he'll lose face.

Xie Yongnian gritted his teeth, stamped his foot, rolled up his sleeves, and went up.

He could do somersaults fairly well at first, but by the tenth one, his stamina was clearly failing him, and with each one, he looked like he was about to fall.

In short, Xie Yongnian persisted until the eighteenth time, when his eyes rolled back and he collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. It took him a long time to recover.

"You lost the somersault!" Lin Yang'er was very happy to see Baili Wanwan win, and specially ran to Xie Yongnian and the others to announce the result.

Xie Yongnian was furious. He rolled over and got up, looking angry, and said, "This isn't my forte! Let's have a tree-climbing contest!"

Baili Wanwan didn't say much, but smiled and said with her eyes still curved, "Okay."

So the group ran to the open space behind the school.

Several very tall trees were planted here, and Xie Yongnian and his friends often came here to compete in tree climbing when they were bored.

"I'll go first this time!" Xie Yongnian had learned his lesson a bit more this time. After all, climbing trees was his forte, and he wanted to show Baili Wanwan how good he was, so that this annoying little girl would be scared!

Baili Wanwan naturally didn't argue with him.

Xie Yongnian rolled up his sleeves, walked to the tree, and climbed up easily.

He was one of the fastest climbers among the group of children, and as he scrambled up the tree, the other kids cheered him on from below.

Xie Yongnian felt a little smug, and in that moment of distraction he almost slipped and fell, but fortunately he managed to climb to the top of the tree trunk.

"Big brother is awesome! Big brother has arrived!"

"They're definitely going to lose this time!"

Under the tree, several underlings were showering him with compliments.

Xie Yongnian sat atop a branch of the tree trunk, looking down at Baili Wanwan below, and said smugly, "How about it? If you admit defeat, I'll consider not bullying you anymore..."

As soon as Xie Yongnian finished speaking, Baili Wanwan withdrew her gaze and walked to the tree without saying a word.

Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, she climbed up in the blink of an eye, like a monkey born to live in trees.

Moreover, Xie Yongnian could only climb the trunk of the tree. The branches and leaves extending upwards must have been thin and swaying, making it almost impossible for anyone to climb. However, Baili Wanwan bypassed him and continued climbing until she sat at the top of the branch.

In this way, Baili Wanwan not only climbed faster than Xie Yongnian, but also climbed higher, making it easy to see who won and who lost.

"Yay!! Fairy Sister won again!! That's great!!"

Lin Yang'er jumped and skipped excitedly under the tree.

On the other hand, the group of underlings all had complicated expressions, their heads down, and none of them dared to speak.

Xie Yongnian angrily punched the tree hard, then slid down the trunk without saying a word.

At this moment, Baili Wanwan was still sitting in the tree.

Perhaps it was because her smile was too obvious that Xie Yongnian felt displeased.

In short, he walked to the tree and kicked the trunk twice.

The branches swayed back and forth with his movements, but Baili Wanwan on the tree was not frightened and cried. Instead, she calmly climbed down the tree and gave him a calm look.

The final event was running laps. I wonder if the previous two events had dampened Xie Yongnian's confidence.

Anyway, he was somewhat distracted by this last project.

Although he was in the lead at first, he kept looking back to see if Baili Wanwan had caught up, which made it impossible for him to concentrate on running properly.

When Baili Wanwan finally caught up with him, he was still somewhat incredulous.

When he tried to catch up, he found he couldn't catch up at all, and ended up falling flat on his face.

In three projects, Baili Wanwan won them all.

Lin Yang'er and Wan Yuechi clapped their hands with joy.

Even some of the underlings were inclined to side with Baili Wanwan.

After all, the kids all idolize whoever they admire and then recognize that person as their leader.

Now that Xie Yongnian is no good at anything, they naturally look down on him.

"Fairy sister is amazing! From now on, you're their leader!!"

Lin Yang'er ran up to Baili Wanwan and cheered for her with great joy.

Baili Wanwan did not deny it, but only glanced at the group of underlings.

Some of the underlings were hesitant, while others were unwilling. In any case, some of them were even implicitly admitting that their boss was Baili Wanwan.

Although they were thugs, they still had rules; a loss was a loss.
