Ch 258 There’s a Mermaid at Home (10.19)

She is the goddess of the sea, and the monarch of the mermaid clan. She’s worth a lot. I am afraid that the entire empire could not afford her.

August loved this little appearance of XunMi. He lowered his head and nipped her cheek, leaving small teeth marks.

Satisfied, he extended his tongue and licked, covering half her face in saliva. {T/N: Sexy.}

XunMi pushed his head away and glared at him angrily.

Didn’t he look at where this was? Really! Couldn’t he see that Anson had already turned his face away and couldn’t bear to look directly at them?

August, however, was unconcerned with her rejection, and once again turned back. He was determined to mark XunMi’s whole face with his own saliva to his satisfaction.

XunMi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. The current August resembled a wild beast circling his own territory.

Wanting to leave behind his own scent and seizing her firmly.

“Do what you want, ai.” XunMi was too lazy to push August away, and her whole person was nestled in his arms.

August stopped his actions, “It’s done, and the water has been switched out.” {T/N: I believe he may be talking about the pool where Angela and Lika beat up Betti. Remember he was tasked with finding the missing scales.}

Indeed, he had supervised it personally and let John do the work. Absolutely clean.

XunMi popped her head out from August’s embrace and found Anson. She smiled and opened her mouth to speak, “Your Majesty, we’ll have to trouble you to take care of your two sisters first. We can talk about the follow-up to this matter after Betti has recovered.”

They had John, who had been acting as an invisible man outside, carry Betti out, and the four got into the flying car, leaving behind only the back view of their natural and unrestrained figures.

After those people left, Anson’s complexion became very bad.

Especially after XunMi’s last sentence, Angela and Lika were afraid of receiving a severe punishment.

{T/N: Scene change. In the flying car.}

The atmosphere in the car was pretty good. Betti consciously didn’t bother XunMi and August.

She chatted with John. The two talking and laughing were very harmonious.

The gloomy look in XunMi’s eyes faded. No matter what happened later, they would just move forward like this.

They brought Betti back to August’s house, and prepared to quietly send Betti back to the deep sea that night.

Actually, XunMi also wanted to go back to take a look, but because August’s vacation had ended, he couldn’t leave Norman City. He had to be ready to go to the border at any time.

XunMi obediently dispelled her thoughts and asked August to send her to the Mermaid Academy.

For this reason, August had an attack of bad temper for a long time, and XunMi had no alternative but to go console him herself until at last he settled down.

Holding the golden carved and engraved notification document, XunMi felt very moved, because this thing was exactly the same as a modern-day invitation letter. {T/N: I don’t know what kind of invitations XunMi is used to getting.}

It’s just that the place where the word “invitation” should have been, it had turned into a notification letter. o (╯ □ ╰) o

August reluctantly delivered her to the school. Looking out at the towering and fantasy-like school gates, XunMi was a bit surprised.

She thought there would only be mermaids at the Mermaid Academy. She didn’t expect there also to be men.

She found that the people going in and out of the gates all came to a stop due to the arrival of their flying car. XunMi’s expression: 囧.

How did he forget this had happened once before when he had appeared at the shopping mall?

Her husband is too famous, and so she was also drawing attention. Was this good or bad?

Some of these students had seen with their own eyes in the past two days how Major General Ludovic treated the mermaid at his side. Seeing them again at this moment, they cried out in surprise.

At first glance, XunMi’s magnificent temperament always attracted interest.

But on closer inspection, one found that her outstanding looks were unparalleled.

Her five features were like a golden eagle carved in jade, exquisite and picturesque, a beauty higher than common mortals.

The appearance of the two people came together, water blue mixed with black, bright colors and bright complexions, the two seeming as though they were gods standing high in the clouds. They arrived descending step by step. {T/N: This sentence was hard to decipher, but basically our leads are really, really, really ridiculously good looking.}

August directly led XunMi to the academy president’s office, and looked at the old man with a wretched face, utterly contemptuous.

“I’m handing Mi’er over to you. You’re not allowed to let people hurt her, you’re not allowed to arrange too many classes for her, and you’re not allowed to make her too tired.”

“Not allowed to make her work, not allowed to arrange a desk-mate for her, and definitely not allowed to let flies buzz around her, you understand?!”

It takes a day for me to arrive to see Mi’er, what’s to be done if she’s bullied by someone in that time?

Andrew Ludovic simply wanted to roll his eyes at this rotten boy who hadn’t come to see this grandfather in decades.

As soon as he arrives, he gives people stress. He wants to beat him!

Glaring at this stinky boy who didn’t know to respect the elderly, he found that that kid never even spared him a glance.

He followed August’s gaze. Aiya! This mermaid was very delicate and lovely. She matched his family’s smelly kid.

No, that’s not right. This is definitely a case of a good cabbage being dug up by a pig. That this stinky guy, with his nature, was able to find a mermaid, it’s truly a rarity.

Cough cough. “XunMi Thetis right? I am Mermaid Academy’s president, Andrew Ludovic. You can call me Dean Andrew or Grandpa Andrew.”

He really wanted this little girl to call him Grandpa! That way he could go show off to those old farts, and show them that he is also a happy grandpa who has his own granddaughter-in-law who could soon be carrying his great-grandson!

“Hello Dean Andrew, eh, you and August are…?”

The last names are the same. Surely they weren’t relatives. Then she …

“I’m this mannerless rotten boy’s grandpa. Little XunMi, be good, let me hear you call me Grandpa. Grandpa will buy you many, many delicious little dried fish, yo~”

Was this child abduction? With those proficient skills, it seemed like Dean Andrew had done this sort of thing many times. It shouldn’t be done so easily!

XunMi couldn’t help but twitch her mouth. She thought she finally knew why August had repeatedly warned her on the way not to see the academy president.

As it turns out it was because the president was old but disrespectful. Was it really ok for him to treat her like a child?

“Grandpa, Mi’er doesn’t need your little dried fish.” August continued on with his demands while protecting XunMi behind him, “Quickly arrange for her teacher. The best one. With a good temperament. Not one with a threatening nature.”

Andrew was so angry his beard curled up. This unfilial grandson! He gets a wife and forgets his grandfather!

“Ok, ok, now get out of here! Don’t know how many years it’s been since you gradated. Have you no shame coming in here to mess around?”

August instantly turned his back on his grandpa, who then rushed to catch up with August. Looking after this rotten boy really made his heart tired.

August ignored his grandfather’s actions and pulled XunMi’s hand, continuously issuing instructions.

He had completely transformed into an old mother: if she felt unwell, she must immediately inform him, if she was tired she must return home at once.

He was completely exhorting her to be a bad student and skip class. Then she could accompany him every day. This quick-witted boy.[1]

As he finished speaking, the president’s expression slowly grew worse until finally he was about to explode.

“Grandpa Andrew, where should I go first?” XunMi hurriedly spoke to divert the president’s attention.

She was really afraid that on her first day she’d have to leave due to a notice that the president had been angered until the point of hospitalization.

Andrew’s heart settled right away as he sized up XunMi. The more he looked, the more he felt satisfied. “Little XunMi, come here. Grandpa will take you to Class S, where there are some very special students.”
