Not wanting to pay attention to the person in front of her, Baili Wanwan had no good feelings towards He Yong whatsoever.
This person is arrogant and doesn't respect anyone.
She saved him last time simply because she didn't want to see someone lose their life to a monster in vain!
"Is there anything you can't say in front of everyone?"
Wanwan felt that one should be upright and honest, just like what Grandpa Wan had said.
Young people are full of vigor and vitality, and naturally cannot tolerate such humiliation.
He Yong's face began to flush red. He said angrily, "What I'm telling you is a secret. If I say it in front of so many people, it won't be a secret anymore."
Lin Yang'er had already stood in front of Baili Wanwan, stretching out her arms as if afraid that Baili Wanwan would be hurt.
She was already extremely pretty, and now her eyes were filled with tears, making her appear even more fragile.
Those who saw her like this would naturally feel pity: "Fairy Sister belongs to everyone, how can we share secrets with you?"
He Yong was now completely enraged. He narrowed his eyes at Lin Yang'er and pushed her away.
The force used was considerable; Lin Yang'er was pushed to the ground. She slightly raised her chin, tears streaming down her face.
This happened so fast that no one had time to react.
Instead, Baili Wanwan was the first to react, pulling Lin Yang'er up, brushing the sand off her body, and finally wiping away her tears.
"Alright, Yang'er, don't cry. I'll avenge you."
Baili Wanwan had long considered Lin Yang'er as her own.
The merfolk have an unwritten rule: they all have to be protective of their own!
She looked at He Yong, pointed at him angrily, and said in a childish voice with a hint of anger, "You'd better apologize to Yang'er right now, or we won't talk to you anymore!"
Hearing that Baili Wanwan was unwilling to pay attention to him, He Yong became completely anxious.
After thinking it over, he decided to admit defeat and apologize, "I'm sorry... I didn't mean it, but I really need to talk to you privately."
Seeing He Yong's anxious and flustered appearance, Baili Wanwan finally softened and agreed.
After all, they didn't do anything wrong; they were just a little arrogant.
Just as Wanwan was about to listen to what He Yong had to say, she heard an angry shout from behind her as soon as she took a step.
"How dare you! Do you think you can just let my people leave with you as you please?"
These words were spoken with such force that they sent a shiver down one's spine, and a sense of oppressive power immediately descended upon them.
He Yong was also stunned. He felt inexplicably flustered and didn't know how to explain.
This beautiful woman is wonderful in every way, but she exudes a cold and aloof aura that makes people hesitant to approach her and even feel a sense of fear.
"Sister, I..."
"Wanwan is mine. I'm warning you, you'd better stay away from her, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
Lan Xuerong rolled up her sleeves, her unrestrained manner startling everyone.
Having lived in the world for so long, Baili Wanwan had long since figured out these strange psychology people had, and knew that she could not easily reveal other parts of her skin in front of others.
Otherwise, she would be seen as a promiscuous woman!
She exclaimed and pulled Lan Xuerong's sleeve down again.
"Good sister, you still need to pay attention to your image. Wanwan already knows that she shouldn't easily show her skin in front of strangers. What you're doing is wrong."
Baili Wanwan had already made her plans; she didn't intend to let Lan Xuerong stay here for too long.
After all, over time, it's hard to guarantee that no problems won't arise.
Um!
She must use the previous magic to try and help Sister Xue Rong regain her memories!
"I was just saying a few words to him, sister. Don't worry, there aren't that many bad people who want to harm me."
Baili Wanwan followed behind He Yong.
The school was located next to the beach, and although many people would go out to sea to fish there on weekdays, it was still a comfortable place.
However, the appearance of the monster caused widespread panic, and many families even stopped sending their children to school.
In the past two days, Wan Suizhou moved the school to the side of the Wan family's house.
Although it was just a dilapidated little courtyard.
As the saying goes, "Studying hard for years is worth it," and for the sake of studying, one is willing to endure some hardship.
Beyond the dilapidated courtyard lies a grove of trees.
This land used to be a good hunting ground, but the nearby villagers knew about it and turned it into an extremely barren place.
Apart from the nearly withered trees, there was nothing else alive.
"Now you can tell Wanwan what's wrong, right?"
Baili Wanwan's short legs had been running nonstop, and now she finally had a chance to stop. She was panting heavily, grabbed a big tree next to her, and lowered her head.
"Actually, I just wanted to thank you for saving my life. As the saying goes, a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of gratitude."
At this point, He Yong's face turned even redder; he was quite embarrassed.
Some things were hard to say, but in the end, she murmured them out indistinctly, "I've also heard of people offering themselves in marriage. You see, I'm not bad either. I will definitely study hard in the future, and maybe I will pass the imperial examination one day... How about we arrange a marriage between our childhood friends?"
A childhood betrothal?
Baili Wanwan was somewhat puzzled.
She had vaguely heard about the idea of arranged marriages between children.
It was said that once the betrothal was arranged, she would not be able to get close to anyone else.
She has two older brothers, an aunt and uncle, Grandpa Wan, and so many other people she will be close to in the future. How can she not be close to others?
"Wanwan doesn't want to be betrothed to you since childhood, otherwise she'll have to give up so many other people for you, which would be too much of a loss!"
He Yong's face turned ashen.
His expression gradually darkened, and then he grabbed Baili Wanwan's wrist, his voice hoarse: "What did you say? You're just a young girl, how can you let so many people surround you?!"
The young boy was rejected, and his strong sense of pride got the better of him. He clenched his fists and blurted out, "You have quite the appetite. If word gets out, you'll be drowned in a pig cage!"
Baili Wanwan couldn't understand anything, but she found He Yong in front of her very noisy, constantly chattering in her ear. Moreover, the burning pain in her wrist was almost unbearable.
Just before she was about to shake him off, He Yong suddenly let go.
He took two steps back and gave a bitter laugh: "You saved me back then, letting me escape death. I thought I had met a fairy. Fairies are meant to redeem me, but I was wrong. You were sent by heaven to torment me. You should have never saved me. Now I have to think about how to repay your kindness..."
Seeing He Yong pressing closer and closer, Baili Wanwan panicked and retreated step by step.
She didn't really know what she was afraid of.
I just felt that He Yong looked like a caged beast; it was truly terrifying.
