Quick Transmigration: Striving Every Day to Overcome Tribulation

Chapter 207 The Mermaid Princess's Succession to the Throne

"Third Princess, did you secretly go ashore?"

An old man carrying a large tortoise shell on his back stroked his white beard, again and again.

"Yes, let's go with my little sister to see the humans she saved!"

Su Su made no attempt to hide it. Although the Mermaid King had said that they couldn't go ashore at will, they didn't go ashore. They just watched from the sea, which didn't violate any rules at all.

"But, this can also be considered..."

"Grandpa Turtle, if you don't tell me and I don't tell you, how will anyone know!"

Su Su wagged her tail and circled around Grandpa Turtle. "We were just curious. The human world is so wonderful! It's nothing like the cold, lifeless seabed."

"Grandpa Turtle, you won't tell Father, right?"

Su Su blinked and clasped her hands together in prayer.

Grandpa Turtle sighed, "I came to see you this time not to ask this question, but mainly because the Emperor brought back a half-mermaid from outside, a mixture of human and royal blood."

"Ah? Then isn't that Father's child?"

"Does your older sister know?"

"It is precisely because the eldest princess knows this that this old minister has come to persuade her."

"What?! I won't try to stop it. The mixed-race kid will come back and take our throne."

Now is the time of dynastic change, and the Mermaid King is about to die.

His children were all staring at his spot; who would be happy to have a mixed-race child suddenly appear out of nowhere?

"Third Princess, perhaps she just wants to come back and see her father."

"Pshaw! Even my little sister won't do it. You'll see if I believe you. Anyway, as long as it's fair, it doesn't matter who becomes the Mermaid King, as long as it's fair."

Su Su grabbed her hair, ignoring Grandpa Turtle's shouts from behind.

The Mermaid King has seven mermaid children, plus a half-mermaid, who all compete for the throne.

Everything was fine at first, but later on, when they were searching for the mermaid crown and receiving its recognition...

The crown was hidden on a rock inside a cave, but the mechanism could only be activated by pressing three points on the rock simultaneously.

However, pure-blooded mermaids are just ordinary mermaids and do not have the ability to transform into legs.

However, for some reason, the human bloodline of the mixed-race mermaid was not suppressed, allowing the mixed-race mermaid to transform into legs as soon as it came ashore.

So the half-mermaid received the crown and became the Mermaid King.

Even at the moment their father placed the crown on her head, all the mermaid children, including the original owner, vomited blood and died.

It's simply to increase the mermaid purity within the hybrid mermaid's body.

In the eyes of the Mermaid King, the mixed-race mermaid is his child, and the others are just tools.

Back when the Mermaid King wasn't yet the king, he secretly went ashore and fell in love with a human woman.

And they even had a mixed-race mermaid.

Actually, there's nothing wrong with that. Apart from the Mermaid King, other mermaids can also fall in love with people of other races.

The Mermaid King must be a just and virtuous ruler who protects his people.

However, the Mermaid King concealed his love for a human and won the battle for the throne.

Just as the former mermaid king placed the crown on his head, he seemed to sense the thread of fate and used his power to establish a rule that mermaid kings could not go ashore, or they would be stripped of their throne.

This is to prevent the Mermaid King from showing favoritism and turning his side towards humans, which could cause problems for his own species.

However, the Mermaid King insisted that he could not go ashore, nor could he allow other mermaids to go ashore.

Although he missed his children, he also cherished his position.

Fate is so ingenious; his half-mermaid came to find him.

Before Su Su even met the mixed-race mermaid, she was invited by her other brothers and sisters to discuss it.

"Third sister, you've finally arrived." The youngest mermaid immediately hugged her arm.

"Third Sister, you must have heard about the half-mermaid. The competition is tomorrow, and I'm just worried that something might happen!"

"Big sister, what are you afraid of! We are brothers and sisters, nothing will happen to us, and you are so capable."

The blue-tailed merman comforted the eldest princess, who was frowning and worried.

In her previous life, the eldest princess was the most capable and the most popular heir to the throne among the merfolk.

In the final hurdle, the eldest princess was the one who suffered the most.

She had already convinced her younger siblings to help her press the mechanism at the same time to release the crown, but the half-mermaid beat her to it.

Before he died, he still tried to scratch the mixed-race mermaid with his claws.

It's just a pity that her speed wasn't as fast as the speed of death.

"I'm just worried, and I also want to take a good look at you all."

As the eldest sister, I've always been the one who worries the most.

The next day arrived quickly, before the competition began.

Su Su finally met the half-mermaid Chu Nai from the Mermaid King's side, and they became very close.

After a series of battles, only the sixth prince of the blue-tailed mermaids, the eldest princess, and Su Su remained, with the half-mermaid finally advancing to the last round.

Just like in their previous lives, they all passed through the cave, defeated the monster guarding it, and arrived at the final crown to search for it.

Before this, Chu Nai seemed to know the route by heart, and found her crown mechanism without even looking for it.

The eldest princess was also quite fast.

But Chu Nai ended up getting the crown.

The eldest princess's face turned pale instantly; she was somewhat unwilling to accept it.

If Chu Nai hadn't been able to transform her legs, she might have also received the crown, if she could have transformed her legs too.

The eldest princess knew her thinking was wrong, but she was unwilling to give up.

But the blue-tailed mermaid tried to cheer her up, and Su Su knocked the ecstatic Chu Nai unconscious from behind.

"Sister, you..."

Su Su picked up the fallen crown and placed it on the eldest princess's head.

"The crown should belong to my sister. As for her, she's just a mixed-race person."

Su Su kicked Chu Nai again.

That kick was too hard; Su Su kicked her but she only let out a muffled groan and didn't wake up at all.

"She's my sister too, I just..."

Before the eldest princess could finish speaking, upon touching the crown, she suddenly recalled memories of her past life.

I remembered everything.

She cried as she hugged the blue-tailed mermaid and Su Su, "Waaaaah!"

"Big sister, don't cry. Third sister didn't do anything wrong. She just thought you were more suitable, that's why she did it. She didn't mean it."

The blue-tailed mermaid gestured for Su Su to quickly comfort her and stop making a fuss.

"No! Asu did the right thing."

“I should have taken it over, and I should have stopped her from ascending the throne at all costs.”

In that case, the events of the past life will not happen.

Her adorable younger siblings wouldn't have been used as blood bags to die.

She resented her father, whom she had always respected and admired, and resented her own powerlessness even more, and finally admitted it out of pity.

The Mermaid King is a hybrid, and he is also close to humans.

So Chu Nai encouraged the other mermaids to come ashore and fall in love with humans.

But human nature is unpredictable. They were secretly transported to laboratories or kitchens and used as experimental subjects or food.

This led to the extinction of the mermaid race.
