Quick Transmigrating Second Female Lead’s Counterattack

Ch 243 There's a Mermaid at Home (10.4)

In a blink of an eye, one hundred years passed. In the past one hundred years, a few big events happened. The sea generals had found a comatose mermaid while out patrolling. Meanwhile, there were signs of humans appearing in the west side of their area. Under XunMi's guidance, the palace changed to fit her standards. This was a process that each new emperor or empress experienced. Creating one's own palace was a symbolic gesture to prove to one's subjects that the emperor had the power to protect them.

Solemnly, XunMi announced, "I will allow the citizens of these seas have the chance to honorably walk underneath the blue skies and live carefree without worries." Those that sinned and owed the deep sea merpeople will now get their payback.

Merpeople stood packed in front of the palace gates. Seeing XunMi appear before them, they all bowed devoutly.

"Congratulations, your highness." Their resounding voice echoed with emotion and joy. XunMi lifted a hand. "Stand. From today onwards, I, XunMi Thetis, will assume control over this sea area." Thetis was the lineage of the mythical goddess of the oceans.

"We will obey." The subjects were happy. They finally had a new leader.

XunMi waved her hand, signalling for them to retreat. She headed out to take a look at the mermaid that the sea generals brought back, aka the female lead.

XunMi thought that perhaps, since there were now so many gathered in these seas, the female lead might not feel lonely enough to emerge onto land.

But the truth was, XunMi was too naive. When the generals and elder turtle came to announce that Betti had disappeared, XunMi remembered how irreversibly strong the story line was.

"Elder Turtle, don't worry. Betti has been under my teachings. Her self-defense abilities are strong. Sea General, I'll trouble you to search the vicinity of the area first, especially the are closest to the coastal area. I think Betti most have headed ashore. She is lively and energetic but has yet to learn the dangers of humanity."

[Madam Host, is it truly okay for a human like you to say that?] BaoBao bounced in the water.

XunMi: …I refuse to speak to you.

BaoBao: My Host is so mischievous. Does your man know about this?

"Your Highness, are you planning on going ashore yourself?" Elder Turtle's intuition was strong from thousands of years of experience.

"En. The current state of the seas are peaceful. But on the west side, there are signs of humans' appearances. I want to go investigate this matter. If they are acting in bad faith, it would be best for us to prepare in advance and heighten our guard." XunMi didn't intend to hide her plans. To find justice for the merpeople, she would eventually have to step onto the human world. Moreover, she had a mission to complete.

Sigh. She also needed to find her husband.

Also, that general. My god, she wanted to slap him with her tail.

"Your highness, please be careful." Elder Turtle sighed but chose not to prevent her actions. Her Highness' powers were stronger than the previous emperor's. She should be able to avoid repeating the tragedy of the past.

After XunMi arranged everything for her absence, she impatiently hurried rushed on shore in the dark of night.

However, the saying 'don't celebrate too soon' was made for her. Staring up at the military uniformed man in front of her, XunMi wanted to cry.

She only wanted to get up onto the shores. Did she have to be this unlucky?

But wait. The person in front of her was a bit familiar? No, a lot familiar. Was this her husband?

"BaoBao come out. Why do I have this uncertain feeling?"

[Madam Host, because of the previous mixed identity incident, some things may be covered and overlooked due to your increased luck energy. Also, the world consciousness is now awake. It played its own tricks. It even makes it harder for me to come out whenever I want to appear in front of you. How evil of it. It is nowhere as nice as the other world consciousness.] BaoBao was still mumbling to himself.

Meanwhile, XunMi was already lost. She didn't even want to get involved in this. She'll just allow the two of them to fight it out.

August kept his focus on the mermaid on the beach. She was covered in blue. The dark blue color made her skin appear even more translucent.

Her tail hadn't even had a chance to transform into legs before he saw her. Yet, there was no sign of franticness in her face. She only looked up at him with her watery eyes.

Her sly peach blossom eyes seemed to somehow fit perfectly with the shape of her noble and pure face.

When her glossy blue peach blossom eyes looked at you, no one could resist a single word she says. She was like the embodiment of the sea. She had sea blue hair, sea blue fishtail, making her even more glamorously shine on the sandy beach. She was like the sirens in folklore. They all appear at night to use their voice to attract passerbyers into their trap, making them sink into madness.

"Mister, are you done looking?" XunMi peered up with her peach blossom eyes and carelessly swished her tail.

"You are a mermaid." August took two steps forward and furrowed his brows. This was the little mermaid from his memories. But why did her hair change?

Meanwhile, XunMi was now pretty certain that her husband was the major general in front of her. However, this wasn't good news for her. She didn't forget that her mission involved the general male lead.

At this moment, she really wanted to roll the male lead up into a jianbing and deep fry him in oil.

"You are a mermaid." Seeing XunMi ignore him, his eyebrows furrowed even more.

XunMi adjusted her tail. In front of August, her tail transformed into legs. Her costume was just long enough to cover her. But her bare slender legs were too appealing.

At least, August was now preoccupied with the need to bring the mermaid seducing back home so that she could seduce him everyday in the future.

And so she could only seduce him.

"I know what I am. So, major general. Are you going to heroically send me to the Mermaid Protection Bureau? Or…" She purposely cut off. XunMi slowly stood up and walked forward to meet August.

She drew harmless circles lightly on his chest with one finger. "Or will you bring me home and hide me away? En?" Her already devilishly attractive voice was being put into full use.

The result was: August could no longer hold back. A second later, a bewildering nose bleed occurred.

Looking down at the red dot that landed on her hand, XunMi blinked with surprise before breaking out into laughter.
