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

Seeing the mermaid princess's indignant expression, Yun Qingyi had roughly figured out the layout of the room.

The story about the mermaid that his master told him took place a thousand years ago, and Liang Jiao in the story was a person from a thousand years ago.

In other words, everything in this room dates back to a certain point in time a thousand years ago.

But... looking at the lifelike mermaid princess before her, was she dead or alive?

The strange behavior just now flashed through Yun Qingyi's mind, and even now, black aura was emanating from the mermaid princess.

But ever since she started wearing the pearl necklace, her words, actions, and the subtle emotions she unintentionally revealed made her seem no different from a living, breathing person.

As Yun Qingyi was deep in thought, the mermaid princess asked curiously, "What are you thinking about?"

"It's nothing." Yun Qingyi thought to herself, "I can't very well tell her that I'm wondering whether she's dead or alive."

"I know what you're thinking."

Yun Qingyi was stunned for a moment. She looked up and saw the mermaid princess looking at her with a strange smile. At this moment, her blue eyes were completely black, and the pearl necklace around her neck had lost its luster.

“I am a dead man, human guest.”

"Although I'm a little angry that you barged into my room without permission."

"But I like you very much, so I forgive you."

"In return, shouldn't you stay and keep me company?"

After saying her last words, the mermaid princess's golden-blue ear fins turned blood red, and a putrid, bloody stench filled the dimly lit room.

Yun Qingyi, Yun Qingrou, and Ji Zhaoze: "..."

Yun Qingyi glanced at the seashell bed behind the mermaid princess. The male mermaid named Tusuo, with an eerie light in his eyes, was slowly walking towards them.

Blood gushed out from the floor of the room, mixed with some unidentified chunks of flesh.

Thunder Shield.

Seeing that the space she could stand on was getting smaller and smaller, Yun Qingyi quickly formed a lightning shield.

But unsurprisingly, the blood seeped into the lightning shield little by little, as if there were no obstacles.

Yun Qingyi: "..."

Seeing this, the three gathered spiritual power in their hands, and a series of spiritual techniques exploded on the bodies of the two merfolk.

The blood on the ground stopped for a moment, but after a short while, the merman, whose face had been blown to pieces, returned to normal, and the blood on the ground continued to seep forward.

Then, no matter how much they attacked, the blood on the ground seemed to have become immune to it, and it never stopped.

Yun Qingyi and the others had no choice but to jump onto the table, but the table immediately cracked and then shattered completely a few seconds later.

……

Seeing this, the group jumped around the room like monkeys.

The mermaid princess watched their performance with great interest.

As she hopped, Yun Qingyi landed on the seashell bed where the two mermaids had previously slept.

Seeing the merman princess still smiling eerily at her, she was furious: "Watching me jump around in such a pathetic state, is this what you call liking me?!"

The mermaid princess's stiff face froze for a moment, as if she was considering Yun Qingyi's words, and the blood on the ground stopped spreading.

He then nodded quite seriously, "Indeed, this is not how one should act when liking someone. I should give you the respect you deserve."

Hmm? Even if your eyes turn black, you still retain consciousness?

Yun Qingyi's gaze fell back on the necklace around the mermaid princess's neck. Could it be that she only gained consciousness after wearing the necklace?

"You guessed right, that's exactly it." The mermaid princess cast an approving glance at her with her dark eyes.

Yun Qingyi: "???" No, she didn't say anything.

Then it dawned on her that she had forgotten that the merman in front of her was royalty, and merman royalty had a chance of inheriting the unique ability to read minds.

Seeing Yun Qingyi's sudden realization, the merman princess smiled, her stiff face becoming more lively. "It seems you know something."

"Not bad, she's definitely the person I've set my sights on."

Yun Qingyi: "..." Wait, what kind of inappropriate words are these?

Yun Qingyi could no longer contain herself. "Based on what you said before, shouldn't you like Liang Jiao?"

"You turn around and say you like me, don't you think that's too casual?"

The mermaid princess gave her an innocent look. "What's wrong with liking good-looking people? Can't I like both of you at the same time?"

"Besides, Brother Liangjiao has been missing for so many years, and you just happened to appear in my long life. Compared to him, I think I should cherish you more."

As she spoke, the mermaid princess suddenly realized, "My beauty, are you unhappy because I like Brother Liang Jiao?"

"Don't worry, in my heart, you will be a unique existence."

Yun Qingyi was silent for a moment. She didn't know what to say. To her surprise, the mermaid princess was patiently waiting for her reply.

After gathering her thoughts, Yun Qingyi asked tentatively, "Since you like me, what are my requests? Would you grant them?"

The merman princess raised an eyebrow slightly, a strangely indulgent smile appearing on her lips: "Of course, you tell me."
