Ch 245 Thereâs a Mermaid at Home (10.6)
âWeâve known each other for over a hundred years already.â Iâve been looking for you this whole time. Iâve only been thinking about you.
August gazed at the mermaid in his arms, his heart felt especially gentle now.
XunMi was surprised. A hundred years? Nonsense, sheâs been at the bottom of the sea all this time. Where would she have met this man? Unless...
âYouâre the kid that grabbed my tail!â Was it really such a coincidence? Years ago, she hadnât felt any sign of her husbandâs energy on his body. She had always thought that was just a mischievous kid. So that naughty child was actually her own husband?
âYou remember now. This time, donât forget.â If you forget again, Iâll really lock you up so that you can never leave.
XunMi was a bit hesitant. She had a feeling that there would be hardships in her future. Based on her husbandâs current temper, if she even slightly showed interest to another man, he might choke the other man.
But...â®(â¯â½â°)â Forget it. Sheâll take it one step at a time.
âAugust. Can you help me with something?â She still didnât know where the female lead ran off to. If she really did get captured into an auction house, XunMi had to figure out how to sneak in to save her.
âI am your partner, remember that. It is my duty to help you with anything.â August didnât like the need for politeness between the two of them. He lifted her chin, forcing her to look up at him.
XunMi blinked before nodding. Sincerely, she said, âI know. So help me find someone. Sheâs a deep sea mermaid. She snuck out this time. Iâm worried that she might have got herself caught in a dangerous situation, thatâs why I came here.â Her husband was saying to not be so courteous. Then sheâll just be very impolite. ~(â§â½â¦)/~
She used her foot to tap Augustâs leg, gesturing for him to let her go.
âSo if not for that mermaid, you wouldnât come ashore.â August was about to erupt again. He grabbed XunMiâs smooth ankle to stop her movements. Dark energy was about to emerge out of him again. The storm began to form in his dark pupils again.
XunMi: ....Please bring back my gentle and calm husband.
âNo, I would eventually come up either way. Because my destined person is waiting for me. Now that Iâve found him, I can only say that Iâm lucky to have met you when still young.â She cupped Augustâs face in her hands, her voice filled with infatuation. I didnât know your name. But it is a type of happiness to have met you in this sea of people. To fall in love with you, to have you fall in love with me. To be loved and protected by you.
âGood girl. Letâs rest.â August carried XunMi up the stairs. In the large master bedroom, there was a small swimming pool. The water here wasnât seawater. But for mermaids, it was still effectively.
XunMi didnât actually have a large need for water. She was the empress of the sea so she had control of the power of the seas. As long as she wasnât completely dried up, she could maintain her human leg form.
But at this moment, she obediently allowed her husband to undress her and place her in water. Her legs transformed back into a fishtail. But then she saw her husband also take off his close and climb in.
Crycrycry~~~~Was this too much when this was only their first meeting? XunMiâs imagination was still soaring in the clouds when August walked to her side. He pulled the mermaid that was lost in her own thoughts, and rested her head on his chest. He grabbed the body wash from the side to help her wash. His movements were tightly controlled to not be too rough. Ever so often, his movements would change to massaging.
In the beginning, XunMi had wanted to struggle a bit, to express that she was a very reserved woman. But soon, she was too distracted by his comfortable massage.
She peacefully leaned in her husbandâs arms and enjoyed. âEn, go up a little. Yes, yes. Thatâs the spot. So comfortable. Press it again. Go up.â She had no qualms in ordering August around.
But soon karma arrived.
Feeling the suddenly raised hard object behind her, XunMi didnât know what to think. While she turned around in shock to look at her husband, August only saw his little mermaidâs glistening peach blossom eyes gazing up wide at him. He saw his own reflection in her clear eyes, as if there was only her and him.
The area below grew larger, accidentally rubbing up on XunMiâs tail.
XunMi thought he could do whatever he wanted, as long as he didnât bother her. But when her hand was led down touch a very hot and solid object, she could admit defeat. Soon, her hand was about to fall off but he still wasnât done.
Finally over, XunMi only felt exhausted. Luckily, August didnât plan on bothering XunMi any longer. After washing up, August carried her to bed.
XunMi had already completely given up. Her husband can do whatever he wanted. As long as he found the female lead for her later.
But just wait until she wakes up in the morning. Sheâll definitely lecture her husband about the standards of a good husband. A good husband needed to put her first and listen to her.
Humph. If he disagreed, then sheâll just have to beat him up. â(â¯^â°)â®n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The woman by his sideâs soft breathing steadied and calmed his heart. August opened his eyes. He carefully watched the mermaid that he successfully brought to his side. In the dark night, his pupils were filled with warmth. His current expression could not be matched up to his earlier temperament.
He lightly smoothed out XunMiâs long blue hair. August felt content. After so many years, he finally found her.
But XunMi Thetis...why did her name sound so familiar? And that mermaid that sneaked out and caused XunMi so much trouble. He better not see her or else...
But then again, that mermaid did contribute to their meeting. If she hadnât run off, XunMi wouldnât have followed and met him.
August quietly left the bed and tiptoed down the stairs to make a phone call.
A brown haired robust man appeared on the see through screen.
âMajor general, what is the command?â The man gave August a military greeting before asking.
âGo investigate any appearances of lone mermaids in the past few days. Those that arenât registered.â According to XunMi, that mermaid was ashore for the first time. She wouldnât know to disguise herself.
âYes, major general. Iâll do it immediately.â The man respectfully replied. Although he was confused and curious about this command, he didnât show it. He didnât dare try to gossip about the major general.
âPrepare a starship. Iâll be back tomorrow.â August hung up the call, leaving the other man to be curious by himself.
Before, when the major general was on vacation, he would always go to that gulf and stay for the entire duration of his vacation.
