Quick Transmigrating Second Female Lead’s Counterattack

August nodded repeatedly. Even if she had wanted a planet from the Milky Way, he would find a way to give it to her without the slightest hesitation.

Anson, Angela, and Lika once again felt a mix of shock, awkwardness, and confusion. As they sat down at the dining table, they still had hope that they weren't going to be blinded. However….

August very earnestly pulled out all the bones from the fish and placed the cleaned white fish meat into a plate. When the plate was all filled, he pushed the plate towards XunMi. Afterwards, he picked up another plate and continued his new hobby. This was a suffocating and stomachache-inducing dinner for Angela and Lika.

Anson was slightly better. He just felt that his view of August was completely overturned. But if he had found such an elegant and graceful mermaid, he would also be willing to love her dearly.

When XunMi was done eating, it was already an hour later.

"August, you haven't eaten yet. Don't leave." Seeing how her husband was about to reach for her hand and get up, XunMi angrily ordered him to sit. Her peach blossom eyes pierced into August. There was a silent threat in her eyes that if he didn't do as told, she would ignore him.

August blinked before breaking into a wide smile. "Alright, alright. I'll eat. Mi'er, wait for me for a second." He made a grab for the already cold dishes on the table. XunMi quickly pulled his hand back.

Soon, John came in with two waiters carrying fresh and hot food.

"Eat this, dummy. Don't you know cold food is bad for the body?" She complained while dumping food into August's bowl.

August's hand tightened around his chopsticks. An uncapturable emotion flashed in his eyes before he lowered his head to eat.

Everything on the table was his favorite dishes. Even if Mi'er hadn't chosen out all of the dishes herself, he would still think this was the most delicious meal he ever ate in his lifetime.

Anson felt a complex emotion. He knew that his two sisters didn't stand a chance. The two of them interacted with such intimacy that there was no room for anyone else to enter their world. Even though his sisters were purebred mermaids, they no longer had a chance.

"That's right, I almost forgot. I haven't answered the question the two pretty mermaid older sisters asked. Yes, I'm not from here. My home is far away. This is my first time coming to the empire. But I've known August since we were small. We just never really had a chance to meet up. In the future, I will probably stay in the empire and go to the mermaid academy. I hope that Princess Angela and Miss Lika will take good care of me there." XunMi put down her handkerchief. She placed her attention to the two people staring blanking at their food in the corner.

To find the true cause of the deep sea merpeople's pain, she needed to enter the academy. Based on her information, the academy was a place for mermaids to gain education but it was also the place of the research institute on mermaids. The deep sea mermaids from years before had been brought into the academy under the guise of education. In truth, they were sent into a laboratory. Although that place might not conduct the same experiments now, that didn't mean that everyone involved in those previous experiments were now gone. The academy definitely had a list of lab members from those years.

"What did you say?" Lika couldn't hold back. The fork in her hand streaked soundly across the plate.

Angela was also shocked. She was entering the academy? Then she was going to steal all the attention away! Angela and Lika met eyes. They needed to ally together for a minute. First, they should get rid of this fox before fighting amongst themselves.

XunMi only stayed silent. Her goodwill seemed to have been completely shut down.

Ah, it's not necessarily a good thing for her husband to be so outstanding. There were rivals everywhere. But even if there were love rivals, there was no way she was going to let go.

The meeting overall was calm. At least there wasn't any hair pulling or shouting.

Anson Eyre followed August and XunMi back to August's house. They were discussing how to stop the black market's sale.

XunMi already decided that she was going along. She needed to see Betti herself so that she would be resassured. As for whether Betti wanted to return to the sea or stay on land afterwards, XunMi didn't care.

"That, August are you sure you want to bring Ms. Thetis along?" Anson Eyre mentioned carefully. He had seen the face behind the veil during dinner. She really was as bright as the summer sun, as dazzling as September's roses. But she was still a mermaid. They were about to go fight. Was it really fitting to bring along a weak mermaid?

August patted XunMi's hair. "She knows her own boundaries." Although he would like to keep her hidden away so that no one could covet her, he still had a bit of reason left. It was reasonable for Mi'er to see a bit of darkness, so that she could better understand life on land. That way, she might obediently stay in his protective embrace without a thought of leaving him.

Anson wanted to say more. But seeing how August was not willing to speak more, he smartly kept quiet. When they arrived at a dark destination, August pulled out a blue feathered mask for XunMi to wear. After helping her put it on, August also placed on a black hawk mask for himself. He led XunMi out of the car. Behind them, Anson and John followed along. A group of military men stood in place, waiting for their order.

Inside, another group was already waiting. It was going to be hard to escape from here tonight. After walking and turning for ten minutes in the dark, there was finally some light.

XunMi was actually acclimated to the darkness. After all, in the deep sea, the majority of the area was all nestled darkness. A few hundred years was far more than enough time to get used to unimpeded darkness.

"Mi'er, don't speak up. That mermaid will be fine." As soon as they find her, August was planning on throwing her off to Anson. Why else would he have asked him to come along today?

Anything that could potentially steal his mermaid's attention away was not allowed. If he wasn't allowed to get rid of it, then he was going to stay far away from it.

He definitely wouldn't let that deep sea mermaid cling onto Mi'er.

XunMi nodded and followed August into the main room. A waiter in a tuxedo and wearing a ghost mask immediately stepped forward to obstruct them.

August pulled out a large red invitation card. XunMi thought that the design of the card was laughable. The waiter received the invitation and carefully examined it. Finally, he nodded. "Guests, this way please."

More waiters stepped forward to guide them in.

The inside was a bit different than what XunMi had imagined. She had imagined a noisy and messy environment, but found an extremely peaceful surroundings.
