"In my world, being a little mermaid is a curse."

Ningbao touched the top of her head with a little sadness. Why does everyone like to pat Ningbao's head? It'll make Ningbao stupid.

"But my sister looks like a mermaid too, so why curse a mermaid?"

Lanlu rolled her eyes in a very ungraceful manner:

"It wasn't me who did it; they clearly made it themselves."

That's a long story, but to put it simply, a group of arrogant and foolish creatures were tricked by a group of despicable creatures.

Although Lanlu felt this was deserved—generally, the Heavenly Dao wouldn't interfere in racial competition, allowing the final victor to dominate the world—it was unacceptable that another group of beings had infringed upon the world's interests.

"Alright, you don't need to worry about any of that. Your task is simply to help the cursed mermaids regain their happiness. Hmm, isn't that a bit too much for you?"

As she spoke, Lanlu pondered for a moment:

"Or how about we make this year's Mermaid Queen happy? That would be much simpler than the last one, wouldn't it?"

Ningbao did a simple calculation: first, the smallest number; therefore, the second is simple.

"Then Ningbao will do the second task."

She happily held up two chubby little fingers, completely unaware that the two tasks were fundamentally different.

Making a group happy certainly doesn't mean making every single one of them happy, but rather making the majority happy. There's actually a lot of room for maneuver in this regard.

Ultimately, an individual who feels unhappy in one major area might find happiness in another. Conversely, an individual who is happy in one area might be unhappy in another. In short, it's difficult to please everyone, but it also requires skill to displease everyone. Ning Bao likely lacks this skill.

However, if we're applying this standard to an individual, the concept of "happiness" becomes somewhat rigid. Can someone who's always unhappy be considered happy?

However, Ningbao's logical thinking ability doesn't currently consider the issues of quantity and quality. Since one is the smallest number, she hardly thought about it and happily agreed to the second task.

Moreover, Ningbao genuinely felt that this older sister was really kind, as she had reduced one race to one in one go. She was such a super, super, super good person.

The child hasn't learned how to hide his emotions yet; his thoughts are written all over his face.

Looking at Ningbao's chubby, silly-looking face, Lanlu suddenly felt a pang of conscience. At the same time, a small doubt arose: could such a silly child really do a good job on a mission?

She had met younger mission takers before, but they were all incredibly intelligent, bordering on the supernatural. A fool like Ning Bao would be sold out and still be helping the seller count the money.

"That super pretty older sister, what should Ningbao transform into to complete the mission?"

Meeting Ning Bao's innocent and naive gaze, Lan Lu hesitated for a moment:

"A clam? It has a pearl."

Who knew that Xiao Ningbao, who had just looked so silly, would suddenly jump up and run away:

"Big sister, don't lie to Ningbao! Ningbao is very smart. Mumu taught Ningbao how pearls are formed; it will definitely hurt a lot!"

"The kind of clam you're trying to be won't be."

Lanlu looked at the serious-looking little fool with a speechless expression, and reached out to pinch her chubby little face:

"Use your precious little brain where it's needed."

Ning Bao blinked blankly, and it took her half a minute to realize that this older sister was saying that Ning Bao was stupid.

Hmm~ Ningbao is clearly a smart girl.

Ningbao was about to retort with a stern look on her chubby face when Lanlu waved her hand impatiently:

"Alright, hurry up and go. I have very limited patience for little cubs, unlike Chunhuan and Guiya who have good tempers."

She originally only wanted to say Chunhuan, because she didn't think Guiya was a good-natured guy. However, sensing the obvious power fluctuations on Ningbao's body, which were clearly Guiya's, Lanlu added that one anyway.

Speaking of which, when did Ghost Fang change his ways? How come he's even nicer to the cubs than Chun?

Ningbao anxiously raised her chubby little hand:

"Beautiful lady, wait a minute, Ningbao has something to ask you!"

This was what Wen Yaqian had repeatedly instructed her before the end of the last world: if she could meet the Heavenly Dao, she should find out the situation of the small world clearly, so as not to be completely clueless.

It was so difficult; Ningbao finally remembered.

"Oh, that kind of thing? I'll tell you about it later."

After saying that, Lanlu didn't wait for Ning Bao to say anything more and directly teleported Ning Bao away. No, to be precise, she teleported Ning Bao's soul away. This was also the result of the Heavenly Dao's discussion; their level of small world was simply not a place where Ning Bao could act with impunity.

To prevent this crucial pawn from suddenly dying, they chose to ensure Ning Bao didn't use his physical body even in the small world. This way, even if Ning Bao died in the small world, the damage would be limited and wouldn't significantly impact the leader's strategy.

Lanlu now understands Chunhuan and Guiya's suggestion. The child looks a bit silly, with clear, innocent foolishness in his eyes. If they can't win, there probably aren't any good solutions, right?

"well?"

As soon as Xiao Ningbao was teleported away, she tried to move her hands and feet, only to find that she didn't have any at all.

A flawless version after careful inspection!

Never mind, I'll just summon my pet first.

Ningbao poked her little head out of her shell, although no one could tell which part was her head.

A flash of light appeared, and Number One, with wings, shark teeth, and a fish tail, appeared before her.

A big question mark slowly appeared on Ningbao's little head. Wasn't Ghost Tooth Brother describing Mumu? Let's try again.

The little clam huffed and puffed for a while, and then a flash of white light appeared. Mumu, wearing a string of water-repelling beads on her hand and a piece of warm white jade around her neck, appeared in the water.

"Mumu!"

Ningbao's eyes lit up, and she crashed into Mumu's arms with lightning speed. Luckily, they were in the water, where the resistance was great, otherwise Mumu would have been knocked over by her.

"Alright, alright, didn't we already reunite in the little world of fanfiction?"

Although she was worried sick every day, it didn't stop Mumu from coaxing the little clam that wouldn't let go of her.

Number One swam around them twice, looking at everything with a look of amazement.

"Ningbao, where is this?"

The chubby little boy, who looked to be only about three years old, asked in a childish voice.

"By the way, where's the white cake?"

Mumu suddenly remembered a serious question: What will happen to the cats in the underwater world?
