I woke up to find myself as the villain's older sister.

Seeing the merman tremble, Yun Qingyi also sensed that something was wrong.

Looking back with some confusion, she asked, "What... happened to you?"

Neither of them expected Yun Qingyi to suddenly look at them, and they were both stunned for a moment.

Yun Qingrou instantly sheathed her natal spirit sword, her expression unchanged. "Oh, it's just that the sun is a bit too strong today, and I feel a bit stuffy, so I'm just trying to cool off."

Yun Qingyi looked at Ji Zhaoze with some suspicion, "Senior brother, what's wrong with you?"

"Yes, I also feel a bit stuffy," Ji Zhaoze said calmly.

Yun Qingyi: "..." Even if both of them said so, she still wouldn't believe it.

What a joke! They're both at the Nascent Soul stage or higher, and they're afraid of the summer heat? You're just teasing her.

However, Yun Qingyi didn't dwell on this too much and turned to comfort the merman who was still sad.

Ji Zhaoze silently walked between Yun Qingyi and the merman, quietly separating them.

Then, raising her calm and unwavering eyes, she looked at the merman and explained on Yun Qingyi's behalf, "Perhaps you are not yet very familiar with the habits of the human race."

In our human race, proper attire is a symbol of politeness; I hope you don't misunderstand.

The merman looked at Ji Zhaoze, then at Yun Qingyi, as if asking Yun Qingyi if what this person said was correct.

"Yes, that's right." Yun Qingyi nodded to the merman and smiled gently.

After hearing this, the merman paused, somewhat at a loss and flustered, "I'm sorry, I was rude."

"It's alright," Yun Qingyi comforted him, gently stroking his long hair. "Although you lived in the human region for a while because you were treated as a sea slave,..."

But since you've always lived at sea, and the vendors won't specifically tell you this, it's normal not to know.

The merman's eyes sparkled, as if a shimmering light was moving within them. "You're so kind. Thank you for forgiving me."

Ah... this is just a normal difference in perception, there's no need to talk about forgiveness or not, Yun Qingyi thought to herself.

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but then closed it again.

Well, this difference can't be explained in a short time, and besides, this merman will be returning to the sea in the future, so it doesn't matter whether he knows or not.

Thinking about this, Yun Qingyi took out the slave certificate given to her by the seller. It was a black certificate with gold foil stamping. The material was very special, and the seller said it would not dissolve in water or fire.

Of course, it is only insoluble in ordinary water and fire; any flame with even a little spiritual power cannot resist it.

Yun Qingyi opened the slave certificate and examined it carefully.

Yes, the information is indeed very detailed.

It even clearly marks the number of moles on the side of the waist.

In the "Habits" section, the font suddenly enlarged several times. Yun Qingyi was stunned and saw the words "irritable," "easily angered," and "breathes at people when angry."

Hmm... Yun Qingyi frowned slightly, looked up, and saw the merman looking at her with a curious expression, his eyes looking somewhat innocent and cute.

"Where is he being irritable and easily angered?" Yun Qingyi smiled and touched his long hair. The merman didn't react at all, letting her play with his hair.

See, isn't that a good boy/girl?

Yun Qingyi squinted her eyes in satisfaction. She had completely forgotten how she had first discovered the merman.

The merman looked at the sea slave certificate in Yun Qingyi's hand for a while, and asked curiously, "What's written on it?"

Yun Qingyi paused in her hand holding the Sea Slave Certificate, then handed it to the merman. "Would you like to take a look?"

The merman shook his head, somewhat ashamed. "I'm sorry, I don't know human writing."

Yun Qingyi said helplessly, "There's no need to feel sorry about this. You're not human, so it's normal that you don't know me."

But it's okay if you don't understand it. It just records some information about you, and you can choose whether or not to look at it.

"My information?" the merman asked, puzzled.

Yun Qingyi nodded, "Yes, that's right. Things like hair color, height, and temperament are all recorded."

When the word "temperament" was mentioned, the merman visibly tensed up. He cautiously asked Yun Qingyi, "How is my temperament described above?"

Seeing the mermaid's cautious manner, Yun Qingyi couldn't help but chuckle, "Hmm, the description above says you are innocent, gentle, kind, and quiet."

After saying that, Yun Qingyi added, "That's a very good evaluation."

After hearing this, the merman's eyes brightened, and she said shyly, "Thank you."

"You're welcome," Yun Qingyi said, putting away the sea slave certificate in her hand and looking at the merman. "By the way, your name is Pearl, right?"

Upon hearing this, the merman shook his head. "No, my name isn't Pearl. Pearl is the name that person gave me."

Yun Qingyi was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized that the person he was referring to was the vendor. "Then, what's your name?"

“My name is Liangming, Ming as in Cangming.”

"Liangming?"

"Yes, that's right." Liangming felt very happy listening to Yun Qingyi read his name.

Then, looking at the girl with some anticipation, he asked, "May I know your name?"

"Of course, my name is Yun Qingyi," Yun Qingyi said with a smile.

"Yun Qingyi." Liang Ming repeated the name, seemingly very happy.

"Cough cough." Yun Qingrou, who had been watching from the sidelines for a while, couldn't stand it anymore.

He coughed lightly and said to Yun Qingyi, "Sister, it's getting late. Let's hurry up and send Liang...Ming back."

The tone became more intense when the name of the merman was mentioned, sounding somewhat sinister.

Upon hearing this, Yun Qingyi glanced at the setting sun and nodded; it was indeed getting late.

He smiled at everyone and said, "This place is relatively close to the Western Sea, so we won't take the flying boat. Let's just fly there on our swords."

Upon hearing Yun Qingyi's words, Ruan Qi and the others, who had been enjoying the air conditioning for a while, suddenly felt the cold air lessen.

Sniffing, she nodded happily and replied, "Yes, okay, let's set off quickly, Uncle-Master."

After all, if they stayed any longer, they would really freeze into ice cubes.

Yun Qingyi also noticed Leng Zhan and the others' positions and asked curiously, "Why are you all hiding in that corner?"

Having said that, he was about to walk towards the group of people.

Ji Zhaoze's eyes flickered, realizing something, and he quickly grabbed Yun Qingyi's hand.

"Senior brother?" Yun Qingyi was a little confused.

Ji Zhaozhe glanced in Yun Qingrou's direction and found that she had already dispelled the remaining chill in the surroundings.

He then released Yun Qingyi's hand and said calmly, "Yes, it's alright, you can go now."

Yun Qingyi: "?"

Having witnessed everything, Leng Zhan and the others were left speechless.

What a good dog.

No, so it turns out that Aunt Qingyi couldn't sense the pressure emanating from the two other uncles in that area?

So, Aunt Qingyi's place doesn't have that chilling air conditioning?

So how did the two senior uncles manage to fill the entire courtyard with their aura without any accidental leakage, yet overlook the land belonging to Senior Uncle Qingyi?

How exactly did they do that?
