Everyone jumped into the water with a splash, but Cao Chengye, who couldn't swim, stood anxiously on the shore.
Lan Xuerong seemed to know that she had gotten herself into trouble.
It would be very troublesome for humans to see her true form.
So she stirred up another wave, knocking the group of children who were rushing towards her unconscious.
Although Xie Yongnian and the others were swimming experts, they were nothing more than tiny grains of sand in the face of this water tyrant.
Huge waves surged in, and in no time, everything went black before their eyes, and they knew nothing more.
Lan Xuerong then used the waves to lift the group up and gradually push them to the shore.
Cao Chengye, who was on the shore, saw Lan Xuerong in the water slowly approaching her and was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly.
Unexpectedly, he tripped over a stone and fell to the ground with a thud, unable to even speak clearly.
"Fish...demon, demon..."
Lan Xuerong, who had a slight smile on her lips, turned cold instantly upon hearing Cao Chengye's words.
"nonsense!"
"Child, have you ever seen such a beautiful demon?"
Lan Xuerong spoke in a charming tone, her long, curled eyelashes glistening with water droplets, as she tried her best to display her allure.
After all, among the mermaids, she was considered a beautiful mermaid.
But at this moment, Cao Chengye looked terrified, his eyes filled with disbelief and fear as he stared at Lan Xuerong, who had the head of a human and the body of a fish.
"Ah!! Ah!!!"
Cao Chengye finally couldn't take the shock anymore and shouted at Lan Xuerong.
Lan Xuerong rolled her eyes and slapped him onto the beach with a wave.
Cao Chengye's screams stopped abruptly, and he fainted without moving.
Lan Xuerong looked at the children scattered on the ground and felt very frustrated.
"What kind of taste do these human children have! I'm so good-looking, and they actually call me a monster..."
She muttered something under her breath, then began to cast a spell...
Just then, Wanwan in the water heard her companions' anxious shouts.
She had barely surfaced when she saw Xie Yongnian and the others lying on the beach, their fates unknown.
Baili Wanwan panicked, thinking that she had misplaced her trust in good people, which led to the harm done to her companions.
She was furious and leaped into the air with the help of the waves, forgetting that she hadn't retracted her golden fishtail.
"What are you doing! Let them go!"
Enraged, Wanwan used nearly 80% of her spiritual power to create a massive, sky-covering sea wall that hurtled towards Lan Xuerong.
At this moment, even the sea surged with waves, and the sky was covered with dark clouds, as if there were signs of an impending catastrophe.
Lan Xuerong sensed the hostility behind her. She turned around and was clearly stunned when she saw Baili Wanwan with an angry expression.
But it was too late to explain, so she could only pinch up the protective shield and fight back against her.
The clash of their immense spiritual energies caused even Blue Sea Village to tremble invisibly.
"Wanwan! I didn't hurt them, you've misunderstood!!"
Lan Xuerong had just managed to fend off Wanwan's attack when she immediately began to explain to her.
"They saw my true colors; I just confused them!"
As soon as Lan Xuerong finished speaking, Wanwan, who was surrounded by a faint light, calmed down.
"Really?" She tilted her head and looked at Lan Xuerong with some uncertainty.
Lan Xuerong nodded quickly, "Really, come and see for yourself if you don't believe me..."
So her curved mermaid tail transformed into legs, and she walked on the sea surface, arriving at the shore without getting a drop of water on her.
She breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that her companions were unharmed.
"Sister Xue Rong, I'm sorry, Wanwan misunderstood you."
Even after shedding her fierce aura, Baili Wanwan is still the same soft-spoken girl.
It even gives people the illusion that they have mistaken someone for someone else.
"It's alright, it's my fault for not telling you beforehand..." Lan Xuerong forced a smile, but unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
She could sense the untapped potential within Wanwan during their fight.
Given time, not only her, but even a celestial being with higher spiritual power might not be her match.
As expected of a pure-blooded mermaid lord...
After calming down for a moment, Lan Xuerong began to use her spiritual power again.
Baili Wanwan saw her raise her hand, and clear water flowed around her fingertips like small snakes.
Just as Lan Xuerong was about to make a move, she saw Baili Wanwan standing to the side, looking quite puzzled.
She paused for a moment before explaining, "Don't worry, I won't hurt them..."
As they spoke, the stream of water entered their left ears. A moment later, the water came out again, but now the clear water seemed to contain countless stars, sparkling brightly.
Lan Xuerong withdrew her hand, and the water instantly disappeared.
After Lan Xuerong finished doing all this, she said to Baili Wanwan, "Don't worry, they will wake up soon."
Just as Wanwan was about to ask her what kind of magic that was, Lan Xuerong spoke up first: "If you're willing, I'll teach you some powerful things."
After she finished speaking, she conjured a whistle made of a conch shell, handed it to Baili Wanwan, and said to her, "Use this to find me, and I will appear."
Before Baili Wanwan could ask any more questions, Lan Xuerong plunged into the sea and disappeared.
As soon as Lan Xuerong jumped into the sea, Xie Yongnian, Cao Chengye, and the others who were lying on the beach began to slowly wake up.
"Ugh... my head hurts so much, I feel so dizzy..."
Cao Chengye was the first to wake up. He covered his head and slowly sat up on the beach.
Upon hearing the sound, Baili Wanwan hurriedly turned her head.
"Cao Chengye, how are you? Are you feeling unwell...?"
Baili Wanwan looked at him with some worry.
Cao Chengye looked up at Baili Wanwan, then fell into confusion, "What happened? How did I end up lying here..."
Upon hearing this, Baili Wanwan immediately tensed up: "What do you mean? Don't you remember what just happened?"
Hearing her say that, Cao Chengye shook his head and hesitated before saying, "I just remember I was going to have a swimming competition with Xie Yongnian, and then... then you said you were thirsty, so we went to get some water, and then we came back..."
Cao Chengye suddenly stopped speaking, his eyes becoming even more confused: "What happened after you came back? I can't remember anything at all?"
Seeing Cao Chengye trying so hard to remember, Baili Wanwan suddenly recalled the spell Lan Xuerong had cast on them before she left.
"Could it be that their memories of what just happened have been erased?!"
As Baili Wanwan was muttering to herself, Xie Yongnian and the others beside her slowly woke up.
Just like when Cao Chengye woke up, the group covered their heads and said they were dizzy, and then wondered why they were lying on the beach.
Baili Wanwan glanced at them cautiously and asked, "You don't remember either, do you?"
Xie Yongnian scratched his head in confusion: "Is there anything we should remember?"
Upon hearing this, Baili Wanwan quickly waved her hands to cover it up: "It's nothing, it's nothing, it's okay if you don't remember..."
