Ch 245 There’s a Mermaid at Home (10.6)

“We’ve known each other for over a hundred years already.” I’ve been looking for you this whole time. I’ve 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, she’s been at the bottom of the sea all this time. Where would she have met this man? Unless…

“You’re the kid that grabbed my tail!” Was it really such a coincidence? Years ago, she hadn’t felt any sign of her husband’s energy on his body. She had always thought that was just a mischievous kid. So that naughty child was actually her own husband?

“You remember now. This time, don’t forget.” If you forget again, I’ll 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 husband’s current temper, if she even slightly showed interest to another man, he might choke the other man.

But…╮(╯▽╰)╭ Forget it. She’ll take it one step at a time.

“August. Can you help me with something?” She still didn’t 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.

“I am your partner, remember that. It is my duty to help you with anything.” August didn’t 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, “I know. So help me find someone. She’s a deep sea mermaid. She snuck out this time. I’m worried that she might have got herself caught in a dangerous situation, that’s why I came here.” Her husband was saying to not be so courteous. Then she’ll just be very impolite. ~(≧▽≦)

/~

She used her foot to tap August’s leg, gesturing for him to let her go.

“So if not for that mermaid, you wouldn’t come ashore.” August was about to erupt again. He grabbed XunMi’s 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.

“No, I would eventually come up either way. Because my destined person is waiting for me. Now that I’ve found him, I can only say that I’m lucky to have met you when still young.” She cupped August’s face in her hands, her voice filled with infatuation. I didn’t 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.

“Good girl. Let’s rest.” August carried XunMi up the stairs. In the large master bedroom, there was a small swimming pool. The water here wasn’t seawater. But for mermaids, it was still effectively.

XunMi didn’t 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 wasn’t 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? XunMi’s 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 husband’s arms and enjoyed. “En, go up a little. Yes, yes. That’s the spot. So comfortable. Press it again. Go up.” She had no qualms in ordering August around.

But soon karma arrived.

Feeling the suddenly raised hard object behind her, XunMi didn’t know what to think. While she turned around in shock to look at her husband, August only saw his little mermaid’s 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 XunMi’s tail.

XunMi thought he could do whatever he wanted, as long as he didn’t 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 wasn’t done.

Finally over, XunMi only felt exhausted. Luckily, August didn’t 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. She’ll 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 she’ll just have to beat him up. ╭(╯^╰)╮

The woman by his side’s 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 XunMi’s 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 hadn’t run off, XunMi wouldn’t 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.

“Major general, what is the command?” The man gave August a military greeting before asking.

“Go investigate any appearances of lone mermaids in the past few days. Those that aren’t registered.” According to XunMi, that mermaid was ashore for the first time. She wouldn’t know to disguise herself.

“Yes, major general. I’ll do it immediately.” The man respectfully replied. Although he was confused and curious about this command, he didn’t show it. He didn’t dare try to gossip about the major general.

“Prepare a starship. I’ll be back tomorrow.” 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.
