It was late at night, and Xiao Wen and Xiao Ban were swimming outside. Of course, only Xiao Ban was swimming; Xiao Wen was just watching from the side.
"Depth charge!"
"Oh, a perfect ten!"
Seeing Xiao Ban amusing himself, Xiao Wen subconsciously complained,
"More like a perfect Da Dai Tou."
You ask why Mo Bai didn't come? Well, there was nothing fun to do, and nothing interesting to see.
At this moment, Xiao Ban, wearing loose swimming trunks and a tight swimming top, was shouting in the water.
However, Mo Bai had seen him before and didn't feel much about it. After all, his lower body was men's clothing, and he usually wore men's clothes. In Mo Bai's impression, he was also a boy, so there wasn't much fluctuation.
Maybe it would change in the future? But not now. For now, Xiao Ban was just a tomboy.
"Xiao Ban?"
Seeing Xiao Ban sink to the bottom, Xiao Wen looked at the lake surface with some worry.
However, the next second, a huge monster covered in seaweed emerged from the lake, scaring Xiao Wen backward.
But upon closer inspection, the monster's eyes resembled Four Arms, and she confirmed it was Xiao Ban.
"Xiao Ban!"
Seeing that he had scared Xiao Wen, Xiao Ban quickly said,
"Your expression just now was so funny, super awesome!"
Xiao Wen, too angry to speak, stood up, turned around, and walked away, saying,
"You're dead when I tell Grandpa."
However, Xiao Ban didn't believe Xiao Wen would tell Grandpa, so he smiled and continued,
"I can't believe she's so easily fooled. The Water Monster in the lake, you're really so Dai Tou."
No sooner had Xiao Ban finished speaking than a giant figure suddenly rose behind him, directly throwing Xiao Ban into the lake.
Seeing that the Water Monster didn't continue to bother him, Xiao Ban quickly got ashore and ran back to the old break car, opening the door and saying to everyone,
"I... I was just... attacked by the Water Monster, a super huge Water Monster!"
However, no one believed Xiao Ban. Instead, it woke up Mo Bai, and Xiao Wen even handed Xiao Ban a pillow, saying,
"Please, stop being so childish. Don't play dirty tricks anymore."
"But, I'm telling the truth!"
Soon, Tian Mark, who was resting nearby, also stopped listening and said,
"Alright, stop messing around and go to sleep."
"Remember, we have to wake up early tomorrow to take a boat out to the lake to fish."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ban's omnitrix ran out of power. Just as he was about to fall out of the old break car, Mo Bai reached out and grabbed Xiao Ban's wrist, saying,
"Come up and rest."
After helping Xiao Ban into the car, Xiao Ban was still thinking about the Water Monster, looking down in disappointment and saying,
"You don't believe me either? It really exists, a super big Water Monster!"
Mo Bai wanted to say something to Xiao Ban, but he was too sleepy. He swayed back to the sofa and said,
"I believe you. Let's rest first, Xiao Ban. I'll go with you to see tomorrow."
Seeing this, Xiao Ban had nothing more to say and could only obediently change his clothes and go to bed.
The next day, Xiao Ban walked along, telling Tian Mark and the others,
"It's true, its eyes even glow!"
However, except for Mo Bai, no one else believed Xiao Ban. Tian Mark said to Xiao Ban,
"I believe it's just a big fish."
As he walked, Xiao Ban saw a bucket of worms on the ground. He grabbed a handful of worms and brought them close to Xiao Wen, saying,
"Breakfast?"
Seeing the worms in Xiao Ban's hand, Xiao Wen quickly recoiled and pointed at the worms in Xiao Ban's hand, saying,
"Xiao Ban, gross!"
"Why did you prepare a whole bucket of worms?"
Seeing Xiao Wen ask, Tian Mark briefly replied,
"Bait."
After saying this, Xiao Wen stood still and said,
"I think I'd rather not go fishing. I want to stay on shore and sunbathe."
After Grandpa agreed, he turned to Mo Bai, who was still half-asleep, and asked,
"Mo Bai, do you want to come?"
Mo Bai, who was still half-asleep, was about to shake his head and rest on shore, but he met Xiao Ban's "play with me" gaze.
If no one accompanied him on the boat, he would be super bored.
"Go."
Finally, Mo Bai, having no other choice, boarded this "pirate ship."
After boarding, Mo Bai leaned back in his seat to rest, while Tian Mark turned to ask the captain.
Tian Mark: "Excuse me, how's the fishing today?"
Captain: "Better than you can imagine."
Captain: "Looks like your golden grandson is using his breakfast as bait."
Hearing the captain's words, Tian Mark turned back, patted Xiao Ban's back, and said with concern,
"Are you alright, Xiao Ban?"
Hearing this, Xiao Ban quickly looked up at Grandpa and said,
"Great, I'm just looking for traces of the Water Monster."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ban saw a figure in the distance that resembled the Water Monster. He nervously shouted forward,
"It appeared!"
This shout startled Mo Bai, who was still resting, causing him to stand up directly and look into the distance.
It turned out to be just a pile of trash, and an embarrassed Xiao Ban could only apologize.
Seeing that Xiao Ban was already obsessed with the Water Monster, Tian Mark reminded him,
"Xiao Ban, we're here to fish, not to hunt some Water Monster."
"He's called Kraken."
This action caused the captain, who was driving the boat, to pull out a photo and hand it to Xiao Ban, continuing,
"I've been chasing it for many years. Everyone in town says I'm crazy."
"Hundreds of years ago, people saw it in this lake."
"Some say it's a rumor, but I don't believe it."
"I can take you to see it, but you have to be brave enough."
Finally, Xiao Ban looked at Grandpa with shining eyes, and Tian Mark, seeing this, could only agree.
Afterward, Tian Mark warned Xiao Ban that the captain was a bit crazy, but Xiao Ban didn't listen at all.
However, the waters leading to the Water Monster's habitat had been blockaded by the Yu You Association, and boats from relevant personnel came to warn them.
Seeing this, the few of them had no choice but to turn back. Xiao Ban and the captain said somewhat unwillingly,
"Oh! What about the Water Monster?"
Hearing Xiao Ban's words, the people from the Yu You Association laughed,
"Hahaha, Water Monster."
"Hey, I'm a marine biologist. If anyone tells you they saw a Water Monster in this lake..."
"Then he must be bragging."
After speaking, the Yu You Association people left, while Xiao Ban stood there pouting.
However, on the way back, the captain's sonar device activated, and the Water Monster chased after them.
"He found us!"
Only a horn was seen emerging from the sea, rushing towards the dock.
The Water Monster's movement caused the entire boat to rock violently. Tian Mark quickly hugged Xiao Ban to prevent him from falling, while Mo Bai, with better balance, had no problems.
Soon, the Water Monster destroyed the dock in one bite, and people fell into the water.
Seeing this, Tian Mark distracted the captain and leaned down to Xiao Ban, saying,
"We need to save those people."
After speaking, Xiao Ban jumped into the water and adjusted the Omnitrix to The plumber (Tetramand), who could breathe and move freely in the water.
"Da Gang Ya (Jaws) to the rescue!"
After diving to the bottom, Xiao Ban heavily slapped the watch, successfully transforming incorrectly.
Seeing himself transform into Quick Flash Star, Tian Xiao Ban complained helplessly.
"Hey, it's Da Gang Ya (Jaws), not Quick Flash Star, stupid watch!"
Mo Bai also didn't hesitate, jumping down from another part of the boat. With a light press, he transformed into the desired Da Gang Ya (Jaws) and quickly rescued the people to shore.
However, while rescuing them, he was mistaken for the Water Monster's cub and elbowed quite a few times.
"Hey! I'm here to save you!"
Meanwhile, Xiao Ban confronted the Water Monster, creating a waterspout in the sea with his speed, successfully scaring away the Water Monster.
After a simple thank you, Xiao Ban's Omnitrix transformation time was almost up, and he quickly ran towards the captain's boat.
"Almost there... I should be able to!"
However, it was regrettable. Due to inertia, Xiao Ban bounced a few times on the sea like a small stone and landed near the boat.
After falling, Xiao Ban felt something grab his leg. He was so scared that he immediately prepared to shout, but fortunately, Mo Bai stopped him.
"Don't be nervous, it's me."
"Mo Bai?"
After confirming it was Mo Bai, who had transformed into Da Gang Ya (Jaws), Xiao Ban relaxed and let Mo Bai push him onto the boat. Mo Bai then returned to the shore to wait for the transformation time to end.
In the evening, Xiao Ban, having fallen into the water, was wrapped in a blanket nearby and said,
"See? There really is a Water Monster. Xiao and Captain are not wrong."
However, Tian Mark still thought the captain had issues and reminded Xiao Ban,
"The Water Monster he talks about does exist, but that doesn't mean he's normal."
"I told you to stay away from that guy, he's trouble."
However, Xiao Ban didn't listen and still insisted,
"You're just being stubborn."
Mo Bai, who was listening nearby, felt strange. At Xiao Ban's current age, he was in the range of a loli to a young girl. A loli following an uncle? It made Mo Bai think of something he had seen in his previous life and he couldn't help but shiver.
Thinking of this, although he felt it was useless, he still got up and sat beside Xiao Ban, saying,
"Xiao Ban, I think that captain is indeed a bit strange. If you want to go, I'll go with you."
"Captain, he has wha..."
However, Xiao Ban just turned his head, wanting to speak up for the captain, but met Mo Bai's gaze, who was very close and looking at him with a doting expression, making it hard to speak.
Seeing Xiao Ban suddenly fall silent, Mo Bai had already guessed that Xiao Ban wouldn't listen to him and would still go with the captain to find some Water Monster. He sighed without saying more and stood up.
However, Xiao Ban, seeing that Mo Bai seemed very disappointed in him (though he wasn't), quickly whispered,
"Alright... it is a bit strange... but! But..."
"But you have to come with me!"
After this sentence, Xiao Ban's face was already red, whether from the cold and a cold, or for some other reason, and the three people present were all stunned.
Tian Mark's heart really wanted to complain,
"So, me talking to my granddaughter for a long time is useless, but you talking is useful?"
However, Mo Bai didn't expect it to be useful either. According to the original plot, Xiao Ban would definitely believe the captain and sneak onto his boat, but what now?
"Uh... okay?"
Finally, Tian Mark couldn't win against Xiao Ban. Seeing Mo Bai agree to go along, he could only pat Mo Bai's shoulder and say,
"My granddaughter is in your hands. You must protect him. He is still too naive now; there are many things he doesn't understand. Don't let him be deceived."
"??? Oh, oh... I understand..."
At this moment, Mo Bai only felt that this sentence was strange, but he didn't think much of it, after all, Xiao Ban was now a boy.
"Grandpa! What are you saying! How am I so easily deceived!"
Hearing his grandpa speak ill of him in front of him, Xiao Ban stood up and looked at him unhappily.
Meanwhile, Xiao Wen, observing from the side, noticed the change in Mo Bai and Xiao Ban's relationship. She sighed, pulled Xiao Ban aside, and whispered,
"Da Dai Tou, don't you realize he doesn't see you as a girl?"
