The Ocean's Little Tyrant: A Mermaid Baby Conquers the 80s

"Lao San and the others must have done this."

The house was clean too, so they only needed to drop off their luggage and make the beds.

It was their own house—a huge, beautiful courtyard home.

Everyone couldn’t resist walking a few laps around the house.

Then they prepared to go to Yun Xiao Liu’s master’s house.

Old Hu, who had been out for a stroll, was just passing their gate when he saw it was open. He was instantly alarmed. ’Could it be a thief?’

So he cautiously peeked his head in and immediately spotted Yun Jiao and the others.

"You..."

"Grandpa Hu."

Yun Jiao was more familiar with Mr. Hu and immediately greeted him.

"When did you all get here? How come I didn’t hear anything?"

"We wanted to give you a surprise."

Mr. Hu burst out laughing. "Well, it’s certainly a surprise! Xiao Liu isn’t out of school yet. How about we go pick him up together this afternoon?"

Of course, everyone agreed.

That afternoon, when Yun Xiao Liu left school, laughing and chatting with his classmates, he saw the people standing at the school gate and stared in disbelief.

His classmate was still saying at his side, "Holy crap, that little girl’s hair and eyes are blue!"

"She’s so cute!"

Some people possess a beauty that transcends international aesthetic standards.

Yun Jiao was clearly one of those people.

Her good looks would be appreciated even by people from other countries.

Many people at the school gate were looking at Yun Jiao.

Some were stealing glances, while others stared openly.

Hearing his classmates’ comments, Yun Xiao Liu finally snapped back to reality and let out a yell as he ran out.

This startled all his classmates.

Then they saw Yun Xiao Liu run toward that group of people.

And even heard the pretty, blue-haired little girl call out, "Sixth Brother."

Everyone: !!!

’The pretty little blue-haired girl is their classmate’s sister!’

"When did you guys get here? Why didn’t you tell me? If you had, I would’ve taken the day off to pick you up."

"Weren’t we trying to give you a little surprise? Just tell us, are you surprised or not?"

Yun Xiaoqi said with a grin, patting his shoulder.

The three brothers stood together, each with his own distinct characteristics.

None of them were bad-looking. Now almost sixteen, the boys had shot up in height. Combined with his martial arts practice, even the previously chubby Yun Xiao Liu had slimmed down.

Yun Xiao Liu had a rather delicate and cute appearance. He had an easygoing personality, great self-regulation, and a bright and cheerful disposition, like a little sun.

Yun Xiaoqi, on the other hand, was handsome and refined, with a shrewd glint in his eyes, like a very calculating fox.

Yun Xiao Ba’s features were about fifty percent similar to Yun Xiaoqi’s; the biggest difference between them was their temperament.

Yun Xiao Ba had a scholarly air about him. His smile was gentle, making him seem like a dashing young master cultivated by a great ancient family.

The three brothers standing together, along with Yun Jiao, attracted a great deal of attention.

"Let’s go. We’ll head back first."

Back at the courtyard house, everyone sat together, chatting animatedly.

After eating, they also went to deliver gifts to the people they knew in the neighborhood.

Among them, of course, was Elder Wu.

He was also very pleasantly surprised to see the Yun family.

When he learned they were mainly here to see Yun Xiaojiu’s performance, and that it was at the Capital Pear Garden, the two old men immediately said they wanted to go too.

"We old-timers love to watch some opera in our spare time. I never thought a boy from your family would be able to perform on stage."

"In the blink of an eye, the children have all grown up."

Shen Yunlian and the others agreed wholeheartedly.

In the blink of an eye, Yun Jiao was already about to turn nine.

There were still five days until Yun Xiaojiu’s performance.

During this time, they went to find Lao San, Yun Chen Nan.

Yun Chen Nan had joined a research institute, specializing in physics and focusing on mechanical devices.

He took two days off to spend time with his family.

Then they went to find Yun Xiaowu, who was in the middle of training.

After Yun Xiaowu arrived here, he had quickly defeated everyone who challenged him on his own merit.

It was a joke. In the water, aside from his little sister, there was no one he was afraid of.

Coach Li Jianwen was also very satisfied with him.

But this brat was just a bit too rebellious.

Sometimes training required weight control, but this brat would always sneak over the wall to go eat good food.

He would rather have double the training the next day than give up good food to control his weight.

Also, he often provoked his teammates on the training squad and had a smart mouth, a classic troublemaker.

But coaches, despite the headaches, still liked this kind of gifted troublemaker.

In a genius, this kind of rebellion was just seen as having a personality.

Yun Xiaowu also felt refreshed and invigorated after coming here.

There were too many genius brothers at home, making him seem unremarkable in everything except for fighting.

Now he had finally found his own path. On the national swimming team, he was the one making others seem unremarkable.

It felt so damn good!

"Come on, I’ll take you out for some good food. I know a lamb noodle soup place..."

Yun Xiaowu slung his arms around his sixth and seventh younger brothers’ shoulders, said a quick word to his coach, and ran out with his family.

He had figured out all the good eateries in the area.

And so the family spent a few days together, having fun and even going to watch Yun Xiaojiu’s rehearsal.

On the day of the performance, aside from Yun Chen Nan who really couldn’t get away, and the absent first and second brothers who weren’t home, everyone else was sitting neatly in the audience.

The moment Yun Xiaojiu stepped onto the stage, even though everyone was in costume with makeup so thick it was hard to make out their faces, the Yun family recognized him at first glance.

Everyone clapped proudly.

Yun Xiaojiu, naturally, also saw his family in the audience right away.

But after just one glance, he quickly became absorbed in his performance.

The performance came to a perfect end, and everyone applauded.

Then they ran backstage to give him flowers.

A large bouquet of flowers, bought by Yun Jiao.

Teacher Xie was also there, and Yun Jiao ran over to greet her.

"Jiaojiao, you’re here."

"Brother Nine, this is for you. Today’s performance was perfect."

Yun Xiaojiu pinched her cheek. "Of course it was. I’m your Brother Nine, after all."

They giggled.

"Hurry up and take off your makeup. Teacher Xie, come have dinner with us."

Xie San Niang shook her head. "I won’t go. I still have a lot of things to take care of. I’ll eat with you all after I’m done."

"Alright then. Teacher Xie, Brother Nine and I will get going."
