Chapter 832 - Controlled by Legacy (1/2)

The glow from the setting sun cast a red hue on the murky lake water, and dark currents seethed in the water. However, it was dead silent.

Bai Qingqing saw the snake figure on the shore in the distance from the door. She mumbled, “Curtis!”

Curtis immediately looked toward the small island and immediately saw Bai Qingqing in the small house hidden within the forest. His pupils contracted abruptly, and his body tensed up into a bow. He dashed into the lake at lightning speed.

Bai Qingqing’s heart wrenched as she cheered for him in her heart, almost forgetting to breathe.

If it was just thorns, then Curtis would have the chance to dash out as long as he was fast enough since he had his scales on.

However, the merfolk were hidden amongst the thorns from a long time ago, and all of them swam toward him.

A battle immediately ensued. It was impossible to see the situation in the water, but a large area of ripples with blood mixed in would splatter up from the surface every now and then. This showed how intense the battle was.

“This can’t do. Curtis has too big of a disadvantage in the water.” As Bai Qingqing said this, she looked toward the little snake, saying anxiously, “Leave quickly. I’ll be summoning Curtis here. He’ll kill you.”

The little snake said stubbornly, “Between us, only one can survive! You make the choice.”

Pa! Bai Qingqing slapped the little snake angrily.

A trace of blood appeared on the little snake’s lips. Bai Qingqing instantly regretted her action after seeing that. However, when she met the little snake’s eyes, the words of apology were suddenly stuck in her throat.

“Since you’re not choosing him, then let’s become mates,” the little snake said with his childish voice. His crimson eyes were shrouded with a strange gaze that wasn’t suitable for his age as he moved closer toward Bai Qingqing.

Bai Qingqing quickly backed off and was forced up to the walls.

Left with nowhere to back off to, Bai Qingqing clenched her fists tightly. She blinked, and two big drops of tears fell down.

“Don’t force me.”

One of them was her mate, the other was her son. She was unable to accept losing either of them.

It was her own doing that things had reached this step.
