Having said that, Baili Wanwan planned to make her escape.
After all, she needed to get back to that bed before dawn.
Otherwise, it will definitely arouse suspicion!
However, before they could swim away, Lan Xuerong grabbed them from behind.
"You want to go to the human world? If those humans find out you're a mermaid, they'll definitely kill you... How about this, if you really want to go to the human world, your godmother will go with you and will protect you closely."
Baili Wanwan wanted to refuse, but found that she couldn't say the words.
After all, Sister Xue Rong is currently injured, and if she is left here alone, she might encounter danger.
She hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
When the two arrived at the beach, Baili Wanwan looked at Lan Xuerong's exceptionally beautiful fishtail and reminded her, "Sister needs to dress up as a human, so could you turn the tail into legs? Just like Wanwan."
Lan Xuerong nodded hurriedly.
In an instant, the fishtail transformed into a pair of long, beautiful legs.
However, the clothes worn by mermaids only covered their upper bodies.
At this moment, it appears that Lan Xuerong is only wearing an upper garment.
This won't do.
If the villagers saw him, he would probably be drowned in a pig cage.
At first, Baili Wanwan didn't know what "drowning in a pig cage" meant, but after Zhang Xiu explained it to her, she roughly understood it.
Drowning someone in a pig cage is simply a form of punishment for those who have done something outrageous!
"What a joke! We are the mermaid race, born to live in the water. Soaking us in a pig cage is of no use to us at all."
Lan Xuerong scoffed.
For some reason, Baili Wanwan always felt that Lan Xuerong after losing her memory was completely different from the normal situation.
The two little fish made their way back to Wan's home.
However, the night was deep outside, and they encountered a few wild animals on the road. Lan Xuerong wanted to catch them, but Baili Wanwan stopped her.
Even if we do manage to catch these wild animals, there's nowhere to dispose of them. Having these things out of nowhere would arouse suspicion.
Although Wanwan is young, she is not stupid!
The Wan family members were indeed all asleep, but once it was dawn, Zhang Xiu would go directly to Baili Wanwan's room.
Therefore, if the Wan family were to realize that there was suddenly an extra person in their home, it would inevitably cause panic.
Baili Wanwan paused, looking quite hesitant.
She should have done her duty as a host and let Lan Xue join her in her room to rest.
In the classroom, Wan Suizhou repeatedly mentioned that one should be humble and polite to others.
If we bring Lan Xuerong back this time but don't prepare a place for her to live, it seems...
That's not very polite.
Baili Wanwan frowned, folded all the bedding on the bed, and carried it all over to Lan Xuerong with her small body.
"Sister Xue Rong, I'm really sorry, but Wanwan can't let you sleep with Wanwan. Otherwise, tomorrow morning, Auntie will think you're a bad sister with ulterior motives."
I took the bedding; it still had a faint fragrance, a unique milky aroma found only in Bailiwanwan.
Lan Xuerong took a deep breath, then chuckled and stuffed it back in.
"If you give me the bedding, what will you use to cover yourself with at night?"
She rearranged the bed for Baili Wanwan and then walked out on her own: "Don't worry, your godmother won't leave you. You'll stay in this courtyard tonight. The moon is bright and the stars are few, so I can absorb the essence of the sun and moon, which is suitable for cultivation."
Pushing open the door, the night wind rushed in, the candlelight flickered in the room, and even the window creaked from time to time.
Baili Wanwan shivered and huddled under the covers.
She wanted to persuade her to stay, but quickly realized that it was not the right time for Sister Xue Rong to stay, so she could only fall into a deep sleep with a sense of guilt...
The next morning.
Baili Wanwan was awakened by the aroma of jujube cake. She took a deep breath, and saliva dripped from the corner of her mouth.
Opening her sleepy eyes, Baili Wanwan rubbed them and sat up groggily, her mind still not fully awake.
"It smells so good..."
Zhang Xiu pushed open the door and entered, sat down in front of the bed, gently rubbed Baili Wanwan's head, and then took out the hair tie she had just bought at the nearby market and tied it on for Baili Wanwan.
“Our Wanwan is indeed beautiful. She looks just like a porcelain doll. Even with only two red ribbons tied around her head, she would still be beautiful.”
Zhang Xiu praised Baili Wanwan highly, and now she truly treats her as her daughter.
This is such a lucky charm, and so thoughtful too, how could anyone not like it?
"Auntie, do these two big red ribbons really look good on your head?"
Baili Wanwan sat in front of the bronze mirror, lost in thought.
A small figure was vaguely reflected in the bronze mirror. Her fair face was unadorned, but Zhang Xiu had already prepared rouge and face powder.
Baili Wanwan was somewhat evasive, after all, she felt very uncomfortable using those things on her face.
However, Zhang Xiu never tired of dressing her up.
and……
It doesn't look very good.
Her once stunning beauty has now completely transformed her into a plain, unremarkable village girl.
Baili Wanwan pouted.
She raised her hand to remove the red ribbon from her head, but her hand was held down, leaving her looking at Zhang Xiu with a pitiful expression.
"Although you are still young, you are still a girl. Now everyone knows that you are a child prodigy, and you are quite famous in the surrounding area. We should take advantage of this time to dress you up properly, so that you can find a suitable husband in the future."
Baili Wanwan nodded blankly.
But she's still so young.
Why are you thinking about finding a husband so early?
Of course, Baili Wanwan did not say what was on her mind.
She let Zhang Xiu dress her up, and when she looked in the bronze mirror, she almost fainted.
"Auntie, Wanwan doesn't like this."
Her fair face was flushed at the moment, much like the monkey's bottom that her little tagalong had described.
A little boy who followed his mother around the village once caught a monkey in the deep mountains. He couldn't bear to kill it, so he kept it at home.
It is said that the little monkey is very intelligent and lively, and the little boy who follows it around like a family member has come to regard the little monkey as a member of the family.
In fact, Baili Wanwan is inexperienced and has not seen many things.
She had only vaguely heard of monkeys and had seen them in paintings.
I just feel that it is no different from a humanoid figure.
"This looks festive and pleasing. Children from the surrounding villages will like you even more in the future."
Zhang Xiu deeply hoped that Baili Wanwan would be a friend to the other children.
"Wanwan doesn't need their approval, they're too annoying."
Baili Wanwan puffed out her cheeks and stood up excitedly: "As long as Auntie is by Wanwan's side, that's enough. We don't need anyone else."
