Chapter 260: Dark Fairy Tale 32
Only when he walked to the very end did he realize that someone actually lived there.
Shell furniture, and a table made of something unknown.
On it were placed various items that looked very mysterious.
In front of that table, surprisingly, stood a Man-eating Mermaid.
Its tail was light silver, but the color was very dim.
Pale and disheveled hair, covered in wrinkles, it appeared to be quite old.
The Mermaid heard some noises, opened its eyes, with deep green eyes identical to Donna’s.
"Rare."
The voice was aged, but it sounded pleasant.
Donna swam up to the elderly mermaid
"Wizard"
He spoke, not exactly respectfully, but still it was rare to hear such mildness and humility from him.
The Wizard nodded and spoke out,
"What’s the matter?"
Donna was the last of their Man-eating Mermaids.
The two had lived together in this area for hundreds of years.
Donna rarely appeared, but generally when he did appear, it meant he had a favor to ask.
Donna curled a slight smile
"I read in your book that a mermaid’s tail can turn into legs to live on land."
The Wizard paused upon hearing this.
She looked deeply at Donna, her voice aged,
"It seems, this time you went out, you’ve encountered quite a few things."
Donna thought of Su Yan, and his smile deepened slightly
"Sort of."
Saying so, he paused, then asked again
"Wizard, can you concoct that potion?"
The Wizard put down the utensil she was holding in her hand, looking at Donna.
The two stared at each other for a long time, without speaking.
Gradually, one could see a serious expression on the Wizard’s face.
Whereas Donna was still as before, delicate-looking, with a shallow smile.
The stare between the two weighed down the atmosphere.
After a long while, the Wizard finally spoke
"Since you have read that book, you should know the price to be paid."
Donna lightly smiled
"Yes, I know. From the moment I become human, I no longer belong to the mermaids and cannot turn back into one; as a price, every step I take will feel like walking on blades."
The Wizard stared intensely,
"The crafting of this potion must have a prerequisite, attaining someone’s true love for you."
"I know"
Before the last word fell, the Wizard spoke out again
"Do you really understand?! Human love is fickle, over their hundred-year life they will fall in love with many, but you, every day you live must rely on her love, you need eternal love, the moment she falls out of love, you will die!"
Donna still lightly smiled, his deep green eyes filled with such tender smiles.
"I know"
The Wizard looked at him.
Seemingly a bit upset.
"You’re a Man-eating Mermaid, you are disaster. You’re not a mermaid, do you think when your loved one finds out your identity, she will still love you as before?!"
"She will."
Because she already knew.
Thinking of how Su Yan held his hand and slept peacefully, Donna’s heart softened completely.
He wanted to be with her, to be together body to body, heart to heart.
Seeing his resolved attitude, the Wizard sighed.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes"
Wizard was silent, for a while.
"Wait for me for two hours, this formula is ancient, it’s hard to concoct."
"Thank you, Wizard."
Donna sat on the edge of the bed, waiting quietly.
He watched his light silver tail swaying back and forth.
If asked what he liked most about himself?
Probably, the tail?
Why?
Because it is unique, indestructible.
