Chapter 244

Ch 244 There’s a Mermaid at Home (10.5)

August quickly wiped away his blood. He pulled the mermaid convulsing with laughter into his arms, confining her. He leaned down near her ear.

“As you wish. I’ll take you home and hide you away.”

Without giving XunMi time to respond, August put her over his shoulder and took large strides away from the sea.

Ever since he was five, he had never forgotten about the little mermaid he met here. When he turned of age, he entered the army against his family’s wishes. He determinedly climbed up the military ladder. Now, he was the empire’s youngest major general. Purebred mermaids and genetically engineered mermaids all wanted to marry him.

But he had already lost his heart one hundred years ago. Luckily, interstellar humans’ lifespans were now averaging around six to seven hundred years.

When he had the power to search for her, he had already lost all traces of her. Luckily, he never gave up. Years ago, they met here on this day. He had originally wanted to come here to reminisce. Two days later, his vacation time was over and he would have had to leave here. Luckily, he was able to meet her.

XunMi instinctively grasped onto him to avoid falling. “Where are you taking me?” XunMi looked around her surroundings in confusion. Didn’t this use to be complete wilderness?

Why was there a house here now? There was even a beautiful large swimming pool, attached to the ocean.

August gently shifted XunMi into his arms and walked forward steadily. “We’re going to my house.” And then I’ll hide you away.

XunMi shivered slightly. She had a feeling that something not so great was about to happen.

When they entered the bright villa, XunMi’s eyes widened in astonishment by the design. Everything was blue. It was beautiful, with an ethereal feel.

“Do you like it? It was designed with you in mind.” August placed XunMi on the spacious sofa and sat down next to her.

XunMi eagerly looked around. “I like it. Does that mean you are planning on gifting this place to me? How do you know about me? How did you know that I would come here?” She tilt her head as her peach blossom eyes glistened. Did her husband remember something?

XunMi didn’t know her words were like poking the hornets’ nest.

A tight grasp chained her wrist. XunMi could feel her entire hand become numb. The grip on her waist also warned her that her husband was somehow provoked.

But she had no idea what set him off!

“You forgot about me. How could you forget me?” August’s entire body was full of ruthless energy. He only wanted to firmly lock up this mermaid in front of him, so that her mind only had him. So that she could only see him.

The atmosphere thinned. The ornaments lining the walls suddenly shook, as if they would fall and break any moment.

XunMi widened her eyes. Did her husband really remember? She easily got out of his grip and reached out to grab his hand. “You remember me! You remember, don’t you? That’s great! Does that mean you won’t forget in the future?” She knew that she would be able to meet her husband in every world. Whether she found him herself or he actively arrived by her side, there was never a time when they were not together. But she never thought that he would remember.

A storm brewed in August’s eyes. His dark pupils glimmered with a dangerous tint. “Who are you seeing through me? Who do you take me as? Who do you want to remember?” The grip on her waist tightened.

This was his person. She dared betray him. No. No. She was his. She could only be his.

“You’re mine. Do you understand? You are mine.” Immediately, August lowered his head, harshly kissing her beautiful red lips.

So soft. August’s black eyes gradually shut. Without control, he bit down. His hands further locked her into his arms. Feeling her crushed against him seemed to do away with his loneliness and emptiness.

August felt happy. He was overjoyed to be able to touch his person so closely.

XunMi only froze for a second before her lips were stolen away.

August couldn’t suppress the madness and desire in his heart. He desperately bit her lips.

He novicely used his lips to separate hers and instinctively dove deeper in search of her sweet scent. His dominating tongue seized her mouth and met with hers.

A dizzying feeling sneaked into her mind. XunMi’s brain was blank. She could only allow him to deepen their kiss again and again. An iron arm locked the mermaid in place. The other arm held the back of her head so that she couldn’t escape. So that he could continue to cover her with his scent.

This kind of intimate and feverish contact intoxicated August, as if he had the entire world in his arms.

Deeper, just a little deeper. She was his! !

When she was finally released, XunMi laid powerlessly in August’s arms, breathing heavily. She felt as if things have left her control but she didn’t know how to fix this. If she said she didn’t remember him, he’ll be angry. If she said she did, he’ll lose control. Her husband was really hard to please.

August lifted her chin and bit down on her neck, only letting go after leaving a deep mark. “Remember. I’m August, your future partner. Your only partner.” August smoothed out her hair, his eyes filled with contentment and deep possessiveness. This person was his. Tomorrow, they would register their marriage.

XunMi didn’t raise her head, missing the determination etched in August’s eyes. If she had seen it, she would know that this feeling, once infected with it, would contaminate someone forever.

“XunMi Thetis. …. Do we know each other?” XunMi decided it was better to ask. She really couldn’t remember anyone named August. But she believed him.

But she also knew that her husband didn’t have his memories, or else he wouldn’t have suddenly become this crazy.

August sucked in a breath. XunMi immediately sat upright and explained quickly. “You know that I’m a mermaid. Most of the time, I’m in hibernation. At a time, I can sleep for over hundreds of years. I didn’t purposely forget you. It’s just I’ve only seen a few people over the course of a few hundred years. None of them were as remarkable as you are, believe me.”

XunMi did everything she could, save for raising her hand and swearing that she hadn’t purposely forgotten.

What was up with this world? Her husband’s sudden change left her flustered.

Hearing XunMi’s explanation, August’s breathing evened. His hand gently stroked XunMi’s back.
