She turned to Angus and said, "Take Anson and Eyre out. I want to talk to Betty."
"Don't worry, it'll be quick. Trust me." She pulled Angus's hand and made him lower his head.
"Betty's scales should be here. Help me find them and don't let anyone else find out."
She whispered in Angus's ear. Her warm breath surrounded his ear, and a numb feeling 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 hold back. He turned his head and bit Xunmi's lips before reluctantly going to do his job.
But in his heart, he was thinking that he must double the interest when he went back in the evening.
He also knew the severity of the matter. The scales of the deep sea mermaid really couldn't be obtained by people with bad intentions.
Anson saw Angus coming towards him and immediately raised his hands in surrender. "No, no, no, I'll go by myself. I'll go by myself."
Without giving Angus a chance to refuse, he ran away as if something was chasing after him.
As soon as he came out, he saw his two sisters with messy hair and bright red fingerprints on their faces. He shook his head helplessly.
When they bullied others, why didn't they think that one day they might also be bullied by others?
Good and evil would eventually be repaid. It wasn't that it wasn't time yet. He always believed in this sentence.
Those people were the same. They would eventually die in his hands.
Ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and Lika, who accidentally saw it, was dumbfounded.
She closed her eyes and opened them again. Seeing that it was still her gentle cousin, she was relieved. Sure enough, she was mistaken.
When Lika wasn't paying attention, Anson's gaze quietly swept past her.
"Now that there's no one here, I have a few words to say to you."
Xunmi took out a nutrient solution and handed it to Betty. This could help her restore her vitality first. As for the scales, it couldn't be helped.
"I know you don't like the deep sea and don't want to stay there. You have your own ideas, I understand."
"I won't interfere with what you want to do."
"But I want you to understand that I'm not just a deep sea mermaid. I'm also the Sea Emperor, and you are my people."
"I want my people to live a stable and happy life, not in danger at all times."
"You know the hatred between humans and the deep sea. Who knows if the Mermaid Research Institute is still quietly attacking the deep sea merfolk?"
"In the whole deep sea, we are the last two mermaids. I really don't want to be notified one day to collect your corpse."
He paused for a moment before continuing, "Perhaps my tone was a little harsh."
She didn't know what Betty was insisting on and what was the point of it.
Betty shook her head. She held the potion in her hand so tightly that her fingers turned white.
"Your Majesty." She was finally willing to call her, "I know you're doing this for my own good. Please forgive my selfishness."
"I don't want to return to the deep sea. I don't love the deep sea."
Yes, she really didn't love it. Even though she had stayed there for more than a hundred years, she still didn't love it.
"These words must make you very sad, but these are my most sincere thoughts."
"I like liveliness, I like crowds, I like the way everyone looks at me."
"In the deep sea, everyone only has eyes for you. I don't exist. I can't accept that."
"Perhaps you can't understand such a ridiculous idea, but it doesn't matter. I just wanted to tell you."
Taking a deep breath, Betty felt that after speaking out the words in her heart, she felt a lot more relaxed.
It turned out that she could also talk to Xunmi with such a peaceful attitude. She was wrong before.
Xunmi didn't expect Betty to be so calm with her, but she was still very happy. After all, she had taught and accompanied her for more than a hundred years.
She rubbed Betty's hair and raised a shallow smile.
"I'm very happy that you're willing to tell me this. This means that you've finally let go of your inner uneasiness and grudges and are willing to move forward. "
"Yes, after experiencing this incident, I realized that it's not that others are better than me and are more popular."
"They just have more status and power than me."
"Why can't I also become more powerful, have more status, and be stronger and beat these people down?"
"I know that my thoughts are a little extreme now, but I just want to live for myself once."
"I don't think I can turn back until I see the results."
Betty raised her head and looked straight into Xunmi's eyes, letting her see the firmness and decisiveness in her eyes.
Everyone had a goal that they wanted to fight for, but she had a goal first before she had a goal.
Xunmi opened her mouth and didn't know what to say. It seemed that there was nothing to say except for compromise.
"Well, since you've decided, pay attention to your own safety."
"Don't be schemed against, and don't trust people easily."
"The scales on your fishtail can't grow in a short time. I still want you to go back to the deep sea."
"Let the sea nourish your scales, help them grow quickly, and restore your strength to its fullest."
"In this way, I can rest assured that you can do whatever you want. At least, except for the double S spiritual power that can hurt you, you can protect yourself or hang up and beat the others."
Betty thought about it and nodded. She really needed to recover her body first.
"I'll arrange for you to go back and come back when you've recovered. I'll enter the Mermaid Academy next."
"If you're interested and don't feel pressured or uncomfortable with me, I'll ask Angus to go through the admission procedures for you."
Xunmi gave Betty two more nutrient solutions, which could be drunk in the deep sea to strengthen her physique.
"I'll work hard and try to surpass you one day."
"Good."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the previous estrangement disappeared.
When she walked out of the door, she saw Angus standing at the door like a door god. He raised his eyebrows and teased.
"When did our Major General Ludwig become a little guard guarding the door? This is really strange."
Angus didn't mind at all and took her into his arms. "From the moment I met you, I've become your home guard."
"(⑨ ▽ ̄ ~) Tch ~ ~ Is your next sentence going to say that I'm a mermaid raised by your family?"
"Pfft, haha …" As she said this, Xunmi laughed first.
Because now it seemed that it was really as she said. All the basic necessities of life were taken care of by Angus.
"Yes, you're a mermaid raised by my family, so you're mine. You can't escape, and don't even think about escaping."
Angus nodded very seriously. He wanted to raise her for a lifetime.
Xunmi raised her chin slightly, her face proud. "Hmph, if you want to raise me for a lifetime, then let me see if you have the ability to afford it."
