Chapter 887: Choice
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Yu Huang turned to look at the magma pool behind her and actually saw that the magma pool had risen by a large
amount. In the distance, a red magma wave had appeared in the magma pool.
The magma wave turned into a fire dragon and looked down at Beatrice, who was on the bridge, as if it was about
to attack her.
The expressions of Yu Huang and the others changed.
“What’s going on?!”
* *
Beatrice stood on the narrow bridge.
In front of her, there were three forks, and each fork led to an even more winding path.
Beatrice raised her right foot but didn’t dare to put it down.
She hesitated, not sure which path to take.
The left path made her hair stand on end. The middle path made her blood boil. The right path made her feel cold
all over.
Every path made her feel afraid.
She turned around to look behind her, but the bridge behind her was destroyed, and only a magma pool could be
seen. She was twenty meters away from the shore.
The magma pool suppressed all their spiritual power. Here, everyone was just an ordinary person. Once she walked
back and fell into the magma pool, she would definitely die.
Beatrice could only walk forward.
Beatrice stared at the three forks in front of her but didn’t dare to step forward.

At this moment, the magma pool suddenly churned. Beatrice sensed that the temperature around her had risen
and she was sweating profusely.
Splash!
A fire dragon formed from magma floated in front of Beatrice. The fire dragon lowered its head and stared at
Beatrice as it approached her inch by inch.
Beatrice had to make a choice before the fire dragon approached her!
Beatrice’s heart raced and she subconsciously touched the safety buckle on her sword.
Due to the rising temperature, the safety buckle, which should have been cold, was also slightly hot. Beatrice’s
fingers were scalded, and her foot landed on the rightmost path.
When her foot stepped on the right bridge, the bridge behind her and the two forks beside her instantly collapsed.
As she stared at the narrowing road in front of her, she took a deep breath before bravely taking the first step.
Just as her feet stepped on the bridge, she realized that the world she was in was spinning. After she stabilized
herself, she opened her eyes and found herself kneeling in a magnificent stone hall.
She was holding a rag in her hand and kneeling on the ground as she wiped the ground.
This was a place that Beatrice didn’t even dare to dream of!
This was the backyard of the Beast Clan’s royal family, where the Beast Clan princes lived!
In the distance, a few young merfolk in servant clothes were kneeling on the ground and wiping the ground. Seeing
that Beatrice looked absentminded, the merfolk hurriedly reminded her in a low voice, “Your Highness, stop
daydreaming. If those orcs see you, you will be beaten again!”
When she saw that those fellow clansmen who had been tortured to death by the beastmen princes were actually
kneeling in front of her alive, Beatrice’s heart raced.
She lowered her head to look at her body again and saw her flat chest and the merman fishtail under her waist.
Only then did she realize that she had returned to the night before the transformation.
Had she really returned to the past?
If she accidentally returned to the time before all the tragedies happened, would she have been able to avoid being
fed aphrodisiacs and forced to become a female merman in public?
Back then, Beatrice’s mother ignored her parents’ objections and forfeited her identity as a princess to marry a
merman prince as a commoner. This matter humiliated the Divine Moon Empire’s royal family and angered the
emperor and queen at that time.
Therefore, Beatrice hadn’t seen her grandparents or uncle since she was born.
Back then, when the king of the Caro Dynasty, Beatrice’s father, realized that the merfolk couldn’t defeat the
beastmen and were about to be wiped out, he had advised Beatrice to think of a way to escape into the Divine
Moon Empire and find her uncle for help.
However, before Beatrice could leave Xixia Sea, she was captured by the beastmen.
Beatrice had never seen her mother’s family before. When the Caro Dynasty was in danger of being wiped out, the
Divine Moon Empire never sent troops to save them. She thought that her uncle and the others hated her father
and herself.
Therefore, when she was imprisoned in the backyard of the Beast Clan’s royal family by the king as a slave, she
never dared to contact her uncle and the others.
She was afraid that if she contacted her uncle and the others, not only wouldn’t her uncle save her, but he would
even urge the Beast Clan’s king to chop off her head.
On the night of the Beast Clan’s king’s birthday, she was fed a catalyst and was forced to become a female
merman. She was almost raped as well.
In her desperation, Beatrice accidentally awakened her beast form and killed the beastman king with an arrow.
After she killed the beastman king, she was surrounded by the royal guards. She should have died there and then.
However, at that moment, the crown prince of the Divine Moon Empire, Mo Yelou, brought his younger brother Mo
Yuelou, who had just turned 18, to personally congratulate the king on behalf of the Divine Moon Empire’s royal
family.

As soon as they arrived outside the royal palace, they heard the shocking news of the birthday boy being killed.
Mo Yelou and Mo Yuelou didn’t want to get into trouble, so they planned to leave that night, but they sensed the
existence of their kin.
The two of them asked around and found out that the Beast Clan’s royal family had actually imprisoned the crown
prince of the Caro Dynasty, their younger cousin Beatrice, in the backyard and tortured him in all kinds of ways. Not
only that, but they had also fed him a catalyst and forced him to become a female merman!
Only then did Mo Yelou and the others realize that the person who had killed the Beast Clan’s King was very likely
their little cousin!
At that time, under the efforts of the Divine Moon Empire’s diplomats and His Majesty, the Divine Moon Empire had
just established a friendly relationship with the Beast Clan.
Trade and cultural exchanges had just been established between the two countries.
As the crown prince, Mo Yelou had always been a smart person who prioritized the big picture.
Under those circumstances, in order to maintain this hard-won diplomatic relationship, the intelligent and cold-
blooded future monarch should not have interfered in this matter.
However, the protective Mo family couldn’t tolerate their family being bullied.
Thus, Mo Yelou brought his brother, Mo Yuelou, and all the guards and rushed into the Beast Clan’s royal family
without hesitation. In the name of the Divine Moon Empire, he forcefully took Beatrice away from the Beast Clan.
From then on, Beatrice had two relatives who treated her even better than her own brother could have.
After that, countless times, Beatrice felt vexed and regretted not finding an opportunity to inform her uncle and two
brothers from the Divine Moon Empire and asking them for help.
If she had been willing to listen to her father and ask her grandmother’s family for help, she wouldn’t have been
forced to become a female merman.
Now, unexpectedly, before the night of the transformation, Beatrice had the chance to change her fate.
After she suddenly raised her head and looked out of the palace hall, she heard the steward outside say, “Clean up
quickly. The Divine Moon Empire’s diplomats will be here soon. If the ground is dirty, I’ll chop off your heads!”
