He turned his head to Angus and said, "Take Ansel out. I want to talk to Betty."
"Don't worry, it will be quick, trust me." He pulled Angus's hand and made him lower his head.
"Betty's scales should be here. Help find them. Don't let anyone else find them."
She whispered in Angus's ear, and the warm breath surrounded his ear. A tingling sensation rose from the soles of his feet to a certain part of his body.
Angus took a deep breath and suppressed the restlessness in his body.
He still couldn't help it, so he tilted his head and bit Xunmi's lips, then reluctantly went to do his job.
But I was thinking in my heart that I must double the interest when I get home in the evening.
He also knew the importance of things; the scales of the deep-sea mermaid must not be allowed to be obtained by people with bad intentions.
When Ansiel saw Angus walking towards him, he immediately raised his hands in surrender: "No, no, no, I will leave by myself, I will leave by myself."
Without giving Angus a chance to refuse, he just ran away as if something was chasing him.
As soon as he came out, he looked at his two younger sisters with disheveled hair and bright red fingerprints on their faces, and shook his head helplessly.
When they were bullying others, why didn’t they think that one day they might be bullied by others?
Good and evil will be rewarded in the end. It's not that there is no retribution, it's just that the time has not come yet. He always believed in this sentence.
Those people too, they will eventually die at their own hands.
There was a sinister flash in his eyes, which made Rika, who accidentally saw it, stunned.
I closed my eyes and opened them again, and I still saw that gentle cousin. I felt relieved, thinking that I had seen it wrong.
However, when Lika wasn't paying attention, Ansiel's eyes quietly passed over her.
"There's no one around now, and I have a few words to say to you."
Xunmi took out a tube of nutrient solution and handed it to Betty. This could help her recover her vitality first. As for the scales, there was no way.
"I know you don't like the deep sea, and you don't want to stay there. You have your own ideas, and I understand."
"I won't interfere with what you want to do."
"But I hope you understand that I am not just a deep-sea merman, I am also the Sea King, and you are my people."
"I would want my people to live in peace and happiness, not in constant danger."
"You know the hatred between humans and the deep sea. Who knows if the Mermaid Research Institute is still secretly targeting deep-sea mermaids?"
"In the entire deep sea, there are only the last two mermaids left. I really don't want someone to come and collect your body one day."
After a pause, he continued: "Maybe my tone was a bit harsh."
She had no idea what Betty was insisting on and what the meaning of this persistence was.
Betty shook her head, her fingers turning white as she held the potion in her hand.
"Your Majesty." She was finally willing to call her that. "I know you are doing this for my own good. Please forgive my selfishness."
"I don't want to go back to the deep sea. I don't love the deep sea."
Yes, she really didn’t love it. Even after staying there for more than a hundred years, she still didn’t love it.
"This must make you sad, but it's what I really think."
"I like the hustle and bustle, I like the crowds, and I like everyone looking at me."
"In the deep sea, everyone only sees you, and I am not there. I am unwilling to accept this."
"Maybe you can't understand this ridiculous idea, but it doesn't matter, I just want to tell you."
Taking a deep breath, Betty felt much more relaxed after she said what was in her heart.
It turns out that she can talk to Xunmi with such a peaceful attitude. It turned out that she was wrong before.
Xunmi didn't expect Betty to be so frank with her, but she was still very happy. After all, she was the person she had taught and accompanied for more than a hundred years.
He ruffled Betty's hair and smiled faintly.
"I'm very happy that you're willing to tell me this. It means you've finally let go of your inner uneasiness and resentment and are willing to move forward."
"Yes, after this incident, I realized that it's not that others are better than me and more popular."
"They are just more prestigious and powerful than me."
"Why can't I also become more powerful, more prestigious, and stronger, and take down all these people?"
"I know my current thoughts are a bit extreme, but I just want to live for myself."
"I don't think I can turn back until I see the result."
Betty raised her head and looked directly into the searching eyes, letting her see the determination and resolve in her eyes.
Everyone has a goal that they want to strive for, but she has to have a purpose first before she can have a goal.
Xunmi opened her mouth, not knowing what to say. It seemed that there was nothing else to say except compromise.
"Okay, since you've made up your mind, be careful."
"Don't be schemed against, and don't trust others easily."
"The scales on your tail won't grow back anytime soon. I hope you can go back to the deep sea."
"Let the sea water nourish your scales, helping them grow quickly and return to their full strength."
"That way I can let you do whatever you want without worrying about it. At least apart from the Double S's mental power that can hurt you, you can protect yourself or even beat the others."
Betty thought about it and nodded. She really needed to recover first.
"I'll arrange for you to return once you've recovered. I'll be attending the Mermaid Academy next."
"If you're interested and don't feel pressured or uncomfortable being with me, I'll have Angus handle your enrollment procedures as well."
Xunmi gave Betty two more nutrient solutions, which she could drink when she was in the deep sea to strengthen her physical fitness.
"I will work hard and strive to surpass you one day."
"good."
The two smiled at each other, and the previous estrangement disappeared from then on.
As I walked out of the door, I saw Angus standing at the door as a gatekeeper. I raised my eyebrows and said teasingly.
"When did our Major General Ludwig become a guard at the gate? This is really strange."
Angus didn't mind at all and hugged the man into his arms, "From the moment I met you, I have become your household guard."
"(ˉ▽￣～) Tsk~~ Are you going to say next that I'm your mermaid?"
"Hahaha..." As he spoke, Xunmi started laughing first.
Because now it seems that it is really just as he said. Angus takes care of everything from food, clothing, housing, transportation, food, drink and entertainment.
"Yes, you are the mermaid I raise at home, so you are mine. You can't escape, and don't even think about escaping."
Angus nodded seriously and said he would support her for the rest of her life.
Xunmi raised her chin slightly, with a proud look on her face: "Humph╭(╯^╰)╮If you want your family to support me for the rest of my life, then you have to show me whether you have the ability to do so and whether you can afford it."
