Free Web NovelChapter 208: Chapter 206: I Will Differentiate into a Male to Pursue Bai Su
The color of Rosa Meiya’s face changed again and again. After struggling for what felt like an eternity, she finally managed to squeeze out, "Even if that’s true, you’re still not qualified to be the president of the Female Protection Institution!"
Bai Su laughed. "Oh, I’m not qualified, but you are? You, with your supreme, sacred constitution, born to rule the entire world."
It took Rosa Meiya a moment to even register the sarcasm; she was too busy panicking about her entire plan being thrown into chaos.
She had swaggered in here today for the sole purpose of reporting Bai Su, intending to use an official authority to pressure her, make her bow her head in apology, and restore her dignity as the princess of the Sea Country.
Now what?
Rosa Meiya wanted to die. The very thought that she had come to the Female Protection Institution to report Bai Su, and Bai Su just happened to be its president, was mortifying.
’That bitch Bai Su must be gloating so hard right now!’
Rosa Meiya was trembling with such rage she looked like a pufferfish about to pop.
Bai Su’s smile became even more saccharine. "Weren’t you here to file a complaint?"
"Come now, tell me. Which female from the Snow Country has wronged you? I’ll go get your revenge for you."
Rosa Meiya felt utterly humiliated, as if her face were being ground into the dirt. "You!"
She glared venomously at Bai Su. "You people from the Snow Country are all corrupt! A bunch of cronies protecting each other! You deserve... you deserve..."
She frantically searched her mind for some truly insulting words, but she lacked experience in arguing. After fumbling for a moment, she couldn’t find the right ones.
Bai Su helpfully finished her sentence. "Deserve to have a mighty army and a flourishing culture that leaves you guys leagues behind. I get what you’re trying to say. Thank you for coming all this way just to praise my husband for doing such a good job."
Then, with utter sincerity, she added, "You’re doing great, too!"
Rosa Meiya: "..."
The humiliation intensified.
’I really want to kill someone.’
’If I killed Bai Su right here, could I get away with it?’
Seeing her standing there silently, Bai Su offered a kind reminder. "If you don’t have anyone to file a complaint against, I’ll be leaving."
Rosa Meiya wanted to beat the crap out of her, but then she remembered, to her dismay, that she couldn’t win in a fight against her.
’But I’ve already come all this way...’
She gritted her teeth. "Yes, I want to file a complaint!"
"A complaint against you!"
Bai Su nodded, her eyes crinkling into a smile. "Alright, go ahead. I’ll take down your statement."
Seeing her all-business attitude, Rosa Meiya grew suspicious. "You’ll really register and process it for me?"
Bai Su smiled. "Of course. The Female Protection Institution is a legitimate, official agency."
This emboldened Rosa Meiya. "I want to file a complaint against you! You act without honor! You have slighted your guests from the Sea Country, attempted to provoke a war between our nations, and insulted my people!"
"And you hit me! Assaulting an envoy is an extremely rude act that should be condemned!"
"According to the rules of your Female Protection Institution, shouldn’t you be punished for treating me with such hostility?"
Bai Su nodded. "That is true."
Rosa Meiya, finally a bit satisfied, sat up straighter. "I’m prepared to accept your apology now."
Bai Su looked at her. "Complaint invalid. It’s been rejected."
The smug look on Rosa Meiya’s face didn’t last three seconds. Her expression fell. "On what grounds is it invalid? What’s wrong with any part of my complaint?"
A faint smile touched Bai Su’s lips. "Because it’s a false report. As the president, it’s my duty to reject invalid complaints."
Rosa Meiya’s chest heaved violently. She glared daggers at Bai Su before finally saying through gritted teeth, "I see now. You’re just toying with me!"
Bai Su said, "Of course not, Miss Rosa Meiya. I’m taking my job very seriously."
"Then why did you reject my complaint!" Rosa Meiya demanded.
"It was a false report," Bai Su replied.
"I did not file a false report!"
"Then present your evidence to prove it wasn’t a false report."
Rosa Meiya was so furious her tail turned red. "Why am I the one who has to provide proof?"
"I’m not forcing you to provide proof," Bai Su said. "But without it, your complaint is considered false, and my decision to reject it stands."
Rosa Meiya glared at her, finally understanding that trying to go through the Female Protection Institution was a dead end.
She shot Bai Su one last hateful glare, then turned and stormed out of the reception room.
Back at the envoy’s residence, Rosa Meiya threw another tantrum, smashing things around the room.
Mirene cautiously approached. "What’s wrong, Sis?"
Rosa Meiya stared darkly at her reflection. "I miscalculated. I never imagined Bai Su was the president of the Female Protection Institution!"
Mirene froze. "What?"
Rosa Meiya turned to Mirene, her expression a mixture of anger and bewilderment. "Tell me, is Lu Tingyan out of his mind?"
"How dare he give his wife that much power?"
"Isn’t he afraid her reputation will eclipse his own?"
At the thought of Bai Su, a thrill went through Mirene. "Maybe... he just trusts Susu. He knows she’s a good person who would never betray him."
Rosa Meiya’s expression grew serious. "I underestimated Bai Su. That woman is full of secrets. She not only managed to subdue the Lion Beastman Tribe and the Bear Clan Tribe, but even the core members of the Lanton Family are completely loyal to her."
Hearing his crush being praised, Mirene’s face flushed. "She is..."
’He couldn’t even imagine it. If he could become Bai Su’s third Beast Husband, he would be the happiest little Mermaid in the world!’
Rosa Meiya narrowed her eyes. "And doesn’t it strike you as odd? The internet just says Bai Su is a Level 8 Female who likes to mingle with commoners, which is why she opened a restaurant in the city center."
"But I only found out when I went to her restaurant last time that the females there all depend on her food to heal their bodies and regain their fertility."
"Even the Lanton Family’s core research projects depend on her food."
"So... Bai Su’s food definitely does more than just provide a simple Healing Ability."
Mirene nodded obediently. "That’s right. She’s a Level 8 Female, so of course her Healing Ability is different from a regular female’s."
Rosa Meiya rolled her eyes at him. "That’s not what I mean!"
She said seriously, "Just think about it. A Drooping Ear Rabbit Beastman, Level 8, with a Healing Ability that can make the crippled walk, restore fertility to sterile females, cure the Plum Virus, and possesses a natural gift for leadership, having already subdued the Lion Beastman Tribe and the Bear Clan Tribe..."
"Even Li Chenlin is completely at her beck and call, and he gave her the Sea Power."
A look of longing crossed Mirene’s face.
Rosa Meiya stared at Mirene. "Do you remember the Qin Family’s prophecy?"
Mirene froze. "Why are you suddenly bringing up the Qin Family?"
Rosa Meiya said, "They say that within this century, someone will emerge from the Qin Family who can unite the powers of the world and become the King of Ten Thousand Beasts."
Mirene nodded. "I’ve heard that, but hasn’t that person already appeared? She’s not of Qin blood, but she’s been formally acknowledged by the clan and adopted by the Qin family. She was born with the Beast Taming Ability."
Rosa Meiya’s eyes glinted. "How do you know for sure that person is the female adopted by the Qin Family?"
"What if it’s someone else?"
Mirene was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened. "You mean..."
Rosa Meiya slammed her hand on the table and shot to her feet. "I’ve made my decision. I’m going to marry Bai Su!"
Mirene: "What?"
"I’m going to change into a male and court Bai Su!" Rosa Meiya declared.
’Anyway, Mermaids get one chance to change their gender after coming of age.’
’This Bai Su is a formidable woman. A lovesick fool like Mirene could never win her over. She’d have to do it herself!’
Mirene: "..."
