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

"Liangmeng found these people from who knows where. They not only impersonate us merfolk, but also spout nonsense in an attempt to confuse us."

"Your Majesty, you have no idea what I just went through. I'm the only one still conscious; everyone else has already fallen into their trap!"

The Mermaid King listened quietly to Liang Wu's tearful tale, a hint of amusement appearing on his face.

Before the Mermaid King could speak, the other Mermaids exclaimed, "Liang Wu, what are you saying! What you're saying is utter nonsense! Didn't we hit you hard enough? Not only are you spouting nonsense again, but you're also siding with His Majesty. What are you really up to!"

As they talked, the old mermaids got angry again, took out their flogging clubs, and were about to hit Liang Wu.

Seeing this, Liang Wu immediately hid behind the Mermaid King, causing the old Mermaids' sticks, which were about to fall, to stop abruptly in mid-air.

He couldn't help but shout angrily, "Ryogo, come out here!"

Hiding behind the Shark King, Liang Wu couldn't help but sneer inwardly: Go out? Go out and let you beat me up? Although Liang Wu was usually disliked, he wasn't stupid.

He's already been beaten once; he'll never be beaten a second time in his life!

Just as Ryogo was inwardly sneering at the old merfolk and harboring vicious thoughts, the Merfolk King slowly swam to the side, making room for him behind him.

And so, Ryogo reappeared brightly before everyone once again.

After the Mermaid King moved away, the old Mermaids raised their flogging clubs again.

Ryogo:……

Seeing the flogging club so close at hand, Ryogo was stunned for a moment. When he came to his senses, he hurriedly tried to swim towards the direction of the Shark King, but before he could move, the old merfolk's flogging club struck his fish tail first.

"Ah!!" A cry of pain echoed around the Mermaid Palace, louder than when he had been flogged before, indicating that the old mermaids were truly enraged this time.

Yun Qingyi sighed as she cautiously observed the Mermaid Emperor not far away.

Could it be that she misjudged the situation? The Mermaid King's arrival at this time wasn't aimed at them?

After thinking for a moment, Yun Qingyi shook her head slightly. Based on the current situation, it was not possible to make such a hasty judgment. She needed to observe more closely. After all, he was one of the key figures in the whole incident. Even if they were not targeting him, she should still pay more attention to him.

Yun Qingyi was lost in thought and did not notice the fleeting glimmer of light that the Mermaid Emperor had just emitted.

Liang Wu, who was being beaten by the old merman with a merman's club, screamed louder and louder. After a while, the merman king waved his hand and said, "Alright, stop."

Upon hearing the Mermaid King's voice, the old merfolk paused in their actions, spat at Liang Wu on the ground, and then put away their flogging clubs.

As soon as the old merfolk put away their flogging clubs, Liang Wu, enduring the pain, crawled slowly to the Mermaid Emperor's tail, crying and pleading, "Your Majesty, it really wasn't my fault! They... they were all bewitched by Liang Meng and those demons! Please, Your Majesty, believe me!"

"I was really wronged!"

After saying that, he sobbed a few times.

Hmph! His Majesty usually trusts him implicitly. He doesn't believe that His Majesty wasn't moved at all when His Majesty saw him suffering so much and tearfully told him his story!

At least, seeing his persistence will make people have some doubts about Liangmeng and the others!

Even if Liangyi and the others are real merfolk, so what? As long as he's around, he will never let them join the Merfolk Palace!
