Quick Transmigrating Second Female Lead's Counterattack Chapter 259

Just a heads up, the end of this chapter is NSFW.

“Some of them have spiritual strength, some are physically strong, some are very intelligent. All of them will be the empire's talents in the future.”

XunMi was silent. Why did she have the sense that Grandpa Andrew was deliberately taking the opposite view of her family's husband?

Actually, Andrew also had this layer of meaning to his words: If you, this stinky boy, tortures me like this, I'll go against your wishes.

However, the most important thing was still that he wanted to let XunMi learn under the best of circumstances.

The current policy in the Empire was already very open to mermaids. As long as you had the ability, you could do any job.

Of course, it was different for those who had no other means. For example they could join the army, and be sent to the battlefield.

Nevertheless, there were many opportunities in the army, such as becoming a clerk, drill instructor, or assistant, all as long as you had the ability.

When they entered the classroom, a class was already underway. At the podium a natural mermaid, who looked a little old, was lecturing.

“Dean Andrew, is this a new student? Please come in.”

The teacher wasn't too fawning, nor did she seem to be sucking up to him. She just pointed out a seat for XunMi to go sit at.

Andrew said a few words to the teacher and then left. He still had a lot of things to do.

XunMi was surrounded by curious gazes, but class remained peaceful until the end. Afterwards, she stopped the teacher to ask about the school library.

Classes were over for the day, so students could choose to either study by themselves or go home.

Of course, she wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity to use the special access card that Grandpa Andrew gave her. With it, she was able to go up to the 17th floor of the library unhindered.

There were a total of 18 floors. It wasn't that XunMi didn't think of going directly to the 18th floor to search for answers, but she didn't want to be too hasty.

So she restrained herself. She slid her finger across the rows of books, and found that, unexpectedly, most of them contained information about deep sea mermaids.

She pulled out a book at random to take a look.

This planet, in the beginning, before it even had a name, belonged to the Sea People. {T/N: The "people" in this sense is a race or nationality, not necessarily humanoids.}

After the human race arrived, the humans began to occupy the dry land by force. Afterwards, they advanced on the Sea People.

They did not expect to find the existence of the Sea People. Their existence unexpectedly solved the humans' dire emergency, and gave them hope for continued survival.1

For more than a thousand years, the two races coexisted in joyful harmony.

That is, until more than 1,300 years later, when deep sea mermaids began to frequently disappear, which caught the attention of the Emperor of the Sea.

The first Emperor personally went ashore to investigate, but was forced to flee back to the deep sea, leaving only a sentence that the deep sea mermaids were forbidden to go ashore, and never again have contact with humans. After these words, the Emperor left forever.2

There was no information on what happened afterwards, but from XunMi's memories, she knew that there had then been peace and stability for centuries.

But then the cycle repeated: this going ashore, being respected and valued, then disappearing, and then the Emperor of the Sea going up to investigate but then shortly thereafter dying.

It was as if the deep sea was cursed, and each generation of Emperor did not have a good end.

The last Emperor of the Sea, who was expected to become the Sea God, died the most strangely. As soon as the Emperor climbed ashore, all the Emperor's power dried up, and they withered and died.3

XunMi had never believed these were coincidences. She always felt that the deep sea mermaids and the Emperor of the Sea were possessed by bad luck.

The method of dying was always the same, and the cause was also always the same. At this point, having doubts of it being a coincidence wouldn't do.

Thinking of herself, the circumstances were almost entirely the same. Because of Betti, she had left the deep sea and come ashore to look for her.

Heh heh…4 The hell? This was just a cycle of death. If she couldn't find the point of this cycle, then even if she ended the human race, she felt that this phenomenon still might not necessarily be resolved.

She lowered her hands and moved her neck. Everything felt stiff.

She raised her head to look out the window, only to discover that the sun was already about to slip out of the sky.

The time really flew by quickly. She lazily stretched her waist. Her husband should already be waiting for her, or had left first and would come again tomorrow.

As she descended the stairs, XunMi rested her hand on top of the handrail, only at once to suddenly be scalded.

She snatched her hand back, but saw nothing.

When she looked over the place where she had just been burned, there was nothing different. Tentatively, she reached out a hand to try touching the rail again. En, unexpectedly it was normal.

Was it just her imagination? Strange.

Full of doubts, XunMi went out, looking back one more time before entering the elevator.

What XunMi didn't know was that after she turned her head, the place that had burned her emitted a red light before returning to its previous undisturbed state.

At the door, a cold-faced man in military uniform was standing ramrod straight, waiting there and giving off an inexplicable feeling of security.

Xunmi smiled and walked over, pulling the man's hand over and rubbing it.

“Have you been waiting here for a long time? Sorry, I was caught up in reading a book and lost track of time. It won't happen again.”

As soon as XunMi arrived, the dangerous air around August completely disappeared.

“Let's go home.” Go home to settle accounts.

If he hadn't promised grandpa not to go crazy at school, he would've already taken in a team of people to search for her.

XunMi nodded, and the two got into the car and left.

As soon as they entered the door, XunMi was pushed down onto the sofa by August, a beast-like light in his eyes.

It was enough that until now he had been able to keep his rationality together and not fall apart.

XunMi took the initiative to raise her head and kiss his sexy thin lips. She remembered once hearing that men with thin lips were fickle in love,5 however it seemed her husband had never had thick lips in any lifetime.

She chuckled slightly to herself. That's all just an excuse. If you really love a person, whether he has thin lips or thin affection, all will become passionate burning lava, scorching the two people.

August bit XunMi's tongue. If her mind could still be wandering at this time, she should be punished.

He unceasingly sucked on the little tongue in her mouth. It was like the sweetest popsicle, and made him unable to stop.

A restless hand began to explore under the hem of her skirt. The silky smooth feeling under his touch instantly conquered August's senses.

XunMi's eyes widened, and filled with waves of haziness.

Due to the excitement and lack of oxygen, her face flushed with an attractive red tint. Comparing her to a sexy fox spirit would not be too much.

August held down XunMi's hand, shifting the battlefield to her neck, leaving rose-red marks all along her pretty, fair skin.

August felt that the V-neck design was truly convenient. His lips and tongue moved down easily, pausing their travel on the most alluring red cherry.

Due to his rolling and licking tongue, the original light color gradually deepened as it was moistened, and finally stood erect trembling in the air.

At this moment however, the wicked August paid no mind, and shifted to the deserted cherry on the other side.

He immediately began teasing around the outside, from time to time sliding the tip of his tongue across the peak, but never allowing the cherry to fully enter his mouth.

He watched with satisfaction as the person underneath him turned pink from head to toe, and the redness in his eyes became heavier.

XunMi was only aware that there was a fire in her body, and had no idea when that misbehaving big hand finally reached between her thighs.

The constant rubbing and caressing caused her already sensitive body to tremble and shudder.

Her chest was attacked with a constant, tingling desire, causing her again and again to try to gasp for air.

“En ~~, no … August, ah …” The shameful voice spilled out of her lips, and XunMi's face flushed even more red.

[1] In case you've forgotten, the humans were running out of ladies who could give birth.

[2] Implication is the first Emperor died.

[3] I have not once been given a pronoun indicating which gender these Emperors are, but I think we were told they were androgynous anyway.

[4] This is the sarcastic 呵呵 laughter (hehe), not the fun 哈哈 laughter (haha).

[5] The first character for thin lips 薄唇 and the first character for fickle 薄情 are the same.
