Chapter 3 — Pink Snake Tail

When Luc Minh hurriedly turned back, he was just in time to hear those rumors. He glanced at me. Just leave one sentence. "Even if she dies, that tail cannot be transferred to you." I opened my mouth, suddenly forgetting what to say. After a long time, I remembered that I originally came here to ask you. But just now... I got the answer. 3During the chaos inside, I left the manor. Not only because I feel like I'll be even more annoying from now on, but also because the words they just said touched my heart. It seems... I'm actually a little jealous of Tinh Dao. I want to be like her, to have such a beautiful fish tail, to be looked upon with respect by Luc Minh, to be obviously accepted by the clan... Even though I had originally planned not to come back. However, I don't know when, I was standing in front of a clinic in a dark alley. It is said that inside there is a doctor named Lan Trach. Can transform beastmen. The door opens. A young man stood there looking at me. His eyes are vertical pupils, the outer edges shine with a pale yellow ring, cold but seductive. "What do you need?" I moved my lips, my throat was dry: "Here... can I change my tail?" He looked at me silently for a few seconds, suddenly burst into laughter, then leaned over to make way. "Come in." "You're a snake person, right?" I nodded. "Have you decided? Once you accept the transformation, these legs of yours will be completely fixed, never to return to animal form again." I froze, thinking he misunderstood. "I didn't mean that. I want to change the snake's tail... into a fish's tail." He also paused a bit. "You misunderstood. My transformations." to do, is to turn beastmen completely into humans.” His voice was calm, "They all volunteered, so they would no longer be sold, treated as aliens, always living in fear." It turned out I was wrong. It turns out that even a dark alley cannot do this. I sullenly decided to leave. But Lan Trach called me back. "Why do you want to change to a fish tail?" "Because it's more beautiful." I did not hesitate at all. As soon as I finished speaking, the snake's tail suddenly slithered out, gently rubbing against the ground. “Let's see if it's true.” But he didn't seem to hear me. The moment his eyes fell on that tail, his originally cold eyes suddenly lit up. "So adorable." His voice, compared to just now, was much softer. I was stunned, then embarrassed to angry, swung my tail and swept lightly: "Don't use the excuse of comforting me." "Comforting?" He slightly raised his eyebrows, as if he heard something interesting, "I don't intend to do business with you, what's the point of comforting me?" "Then I..." "Have you ever seen cherry blossom candy? Your tail looks like it's covered with cherry blossom sugar, isn't it adorable?" My face turned red, my tail pulled back. But his movements were faster– His long fingers were hovering right above the scales, just a tiny bit away from touching. “Can I touch it?” he asked. Even though it was a question, his hand was so close that I could feel the coldness on his fingertips. I hesitated, not knowing whether to avoid it or ignore it. Finally, as a compromise, the tip of the tail timidly wrapped around his finger. "Okay... just a little." Then he gently clamped the tip of my tail. An electric current seemed to pass through me, making me tremble. Suddenly, urgent footsteps were heard outside, mixed with human voices - as if searching for something. Lan Trach's movements stopped, then let go of my tail, stood up and walked out the door. At that moment, there was a knock on the door. A cold voice, mixed with urgency that could not be ignored, rang out: "Do you have any pink-tailed snakes?" I immediately realized who was looking for me. But I didn't speak up, nor did I step out. I'm afraid of hearing even more unpleasant words. He came to settle accounts with me. “No.” Lan Trach replied decisively. "But I smell a snake." "I did it

go out." Lan Trach said. Outside the door there was silence for a few seconds, then the sound of footsteps gradually faded away. Waiting until the surroundings were completely quiet, Lan Trach closed the door, turned around, and softly exclaimed: "Just now... it must have been a fish-man?" "For a mermaid like that to come here, it's too dangerous." I stopped, raised my head and stared at him. Instinctively asked: "Why do you say you also have the breath of a snake?" He didn't answer right away, just looked straight at me with his pupils - "What do you think?"
