Its appearance is "ambiguous!" and terrifying.
"No! You should join our group. Stop associating with those despicable spirits or humans who are always trying to take advantage of you. If you continue like this, they will skin you alive and drain your blood sooner or later. Before you completely become an otherworldly merman, discard your flesh and bones and let your soul join us. From now on, you can guard this vast ocean, and no one will be able to control you..."
Following the skin upwards from her ear, the dark waves climbed up Wan'er's earlobe, tightening around her neck. A suffocating feeling, accompanied by a bone-chilling cold, spread and silently seeped into her...
No, I am a member of the aquatic race! My body can only belong to…
But who will save me? Is all of this just wishful thinking on my part? What is real and what is fake?
For a fleeting moment, Wan'er's head spun, and she began to doubt herself. But it was this very doubt that caused countless black waves nearby to surge wildly toward every part of her body, as if they had smelled something edible.
The black waves went from soft to stiff, and soon became as heavy as stone, dragging Wan'er's hands, feet, or body downwards.
Breathing became increasingly painful, and I was unable to move my hands and feet. I felt like a pupa, trapped among the rocks.
"Help!" He had barely uttered a single word when a large mouthful of seawater, tasting of blood, gushed down his throat, causing a tearing, choking pain.
"Child, wake up!" Just then, an old man's anxious call came from my ear.
Suddenly, a shiver ran through her body, and Wan'er abruptly opened her eyes. She saw a strange light emanating from her neck. Holding her breath, she instantly regained her senses. Wan'er slowly closed her eyes, clearing her mind of all distractions. A warmth emanating from within her was instantly activated…

As Wan'er's body gradually relaxed, she opened her eyes. A soft light appeared beside her. Looking to find the light, she saw that scales were shimmering under her left armpit, beautiful and dreamlike.
It seems that the focused concentration just now had repelled the evil spirits, meaning their seductive ramblings had ultimately failed. Now, faced with Wan'er, they could only flee in panic...

With a flick of her arm, her body floated upwards. She felt something strange about her feet, as if they were fused together. Then, with a thought, without much effort, her body was propelled forward by a force...
It's a tail! Did I grow a tail? Wan'er was stunned. She turned her head to look behind her, but there was no tail behind her. Instead, there were two long, slender legs wrapped in a halo. In a vague way, this halo looked exactly like a giant goldfish tail. In other words, at some point, her entire lower body was wrapped in a large, transparent tail. The entire tail emitted a faint red light and propelled her forward like a gas...
It seems that this period of focused concentration just now has yielded fruitful results.
Wan'er swam, her arms flailing, the water rippling outwards with her movements. She soon found that her breathing was becoming easier and her body lighter...
