"Heavens…" Coral Cetus's lips parted slightly, her eyes filled with incredulous shock.
She stared at Evangeline, her gaze reflecting a breathtaking, stunning beauty.
It was common knowledge that females couldn't fully transform into their beast forms after reaching adulthood. Even among the Mer Clan, they only retained some Tideborn features, like a few fine scales on their legs or a thin webbing between their fingers; they couldn't manifest a true fishtail.
But the sight of Evangeline completely overturned her understanding of the world.
A hazy halo of light flowed over her porcelain-white skin like a thin veil. Below her waist, layer upon layer of pearlescent scales rippled with a crimson sheen, every inch exuding a soul-stirring, magnificent color.
She had never imagined that an adult Mer Clan female could be so beautiful.
