Chapter 262: Dark Fairy Tale 34
But now, Donna has to transform into a human.
Yet this was his own choice, one that even the Wizard couldn’t prevent.
After downing the potion, Donna had little time to contemplate.
Less than a quarter of an hour had passed, and the effects of the drug were showing.
Donna’s complexion turned pale in an instant, the next second he collapsed to the ground, as a person capable of endurance, not prone to outward displays of anger, now screaming in hoarse agony.
Sharp, long nails instantly sprouted from his hands, while the fish scales covering his body began to wither, one by one.
For them, losing a single fish scale was akin to a human breaking three ribs at the same time.
What about the removal of all the fish scales on his body?
That pain, that agony.
The nails almost instantly embedded themselves into the ground, clenching fiercely.
Then ten hours passed.
The torment continued without respite.
Donna was in so much pain that he was nearly unconscious, his face twisted beyond recognition.
All he felt was the quiet around him, as if he could hear the fish scales falling from his tail.
Another ten hours passed.
Donna was panting heavily, barely clinging to life.
The ground was littered with light silver fish scales, streaked with dark green bloodstains, that dark green blood spread everywhere.
Fortunately, he succeeded.
The nails receded.
The fish scales on his wrists disappeared.
His soft seaweed-colored hair turned pitch black.
His eyes closed, his breath was weak.
The Wizard looked down at Donna lying in a pool of blood and let out a slight sigh.
He stepped forward and lifted him onto the shell bed.
He had succeeded, having transformed from a fish tail into a pair of slender legs.
What did that feel like?
The Wizard knew — it was a pain unbearable.
Meanwhile.
Su Yan had not been sleeping well these past few days, which caused her to sleep a lot.
Finally, the third day arrived.
Today is her birthday.
As per the task, she needed to hold a party and gather many people, then announce her existence to them all.
Three days ago, she had already instructed the servants to spread the word.
All the Earls and Viscounts in the vicinity, and the villagers from the foothills, would be allowed to come as long as they wore formal attire.
The servants too were busily rushing about like spinning tops, completely swamped with work.
Yet Su Yan got up early, donning a cloak, and took her seat by the riverside early in the morning.
Well, Donna said he was coming back today.
He was coming back to celebrate her birthday with her.
Thinking of Donna, a light smile spread across Su Yan’s face.
She looked so vibrant.
Little Red too stayed by Su Yan’s side; the two occasionally exchanged a few words.
"Ssss ssss ssss ssss ssss?"
Su Yan, if that Mermaid falls for someone else, will you let me eat him?
Little Red asked earnestly with wide-open eyes.
Su Yan took out a piece of candy and popped it into her mouth.
She chewed it slowly.
"No."
"Ssss ssss ssss ssss ssss?"
I heard Donna likes to eat meat, will you force him to eat vegetables?
"No."
Su Yan answered earnestly.
But Little Red was not pleased.
"Ssss ssss ssss ssss ssss!"
I’m your snake too, why do you force me to eat vegetables?!
"Well..."
Su Yan recalled the scene where she had Little Red eat vegetables.
She said seriously,
"I was merely offering a good suggestion — it’s up to you whether to accept it or not. In the end, you didn’t decide to eat them because of what I said, right?"
It was the little worm who convinced you to eat them.
Upon hearing this, Little Red thought back to the words of the Gu King that day.
It felt... Su Yan made sense.
So, Little Red decided not to hold this against Su Yan anymore.
Again, it couldn’t help but say,
"Ssss ssss ssss"
Its crimson forked tongue flickered out.
