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

Seeing Yun Qingyi's dim eyes, the merfolk felt even more heartache.

Uncle Shang stepped forward and said, "Yiyi, now that you're back, this is your home forever. Your father and mother must have been tied up with other things for the time being, which is why it's inconvenient for them to take you away. I believe you will see them again in the future."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qingyi and the others nodded gratefully: "Yes! Thank you, Uncle Shang!"

Seeing that Yun Qingyi and the others looked more relaxed, the Mermaid Emperor looked at Uncle Shang and said with a smile, "Now that things have been sorted out, Uncle Shang, please take Yiyi and the others to prepare a few rooms for them. The rooms must be nice. I remember there are a few empty rooms in the palace closest to the main hall of the Mermaid Palace. Why don't you arrange for Yiyi and the others to stay there?"

Upon hearing this, the young merfolk around them looked at Yun Qingyi and the others with envy.

Uncle Shang was taken aback when he heard this, then smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take them there right away."

Yun Qingyi and the other two quickly thanked the Mermaid Emperor gratefully.

Judging from the way the merfolk looked at the room, the room the Merfolk King had provided must have been quite nice.

After expressing their gratitude, the three of them, along with the mermaid princess, followed Uncle Shang and swam toward the palace that the Mermaid Emperor had mentioned. Soon, the three of them arrived in front of the palace.

Yun Qingyi stood in front of the palace, hesitating before going in. She exchanged glances with Yun Qingrou and Ji Zhaoze, all three of them showing a hint of surprise in their eyes.

"What's wrong?" The mermaid princess stood beside Yun Qingyi, keenly noticing the interaction between Yun Qingyi and the others.

Yun Qingyi smiled and shook her head at her, answering truthfully, "It's nothing, I just feel that this palace is a bit familiar."

"How could that be? Could it be that you visited the Mermaid Palace before, Senior?" The Mermaid Princess was also somewhat surprised.

"Perhaps," Yun Qingyi said softly, and seeing that she was getting further and further away from Uncle Shang who was leading the way, she quickly followed.

Halfway there, Yun Qingyi paused and asked the mermaid princess, "By the way, Liangmeng, where do you live in the mermaid palace?"

"Huh?" The mermaid princess, who was following behind Yun Qingyi, was taken aback. She hadn't expected Yun Qingyi to ask this question.

"Is it inconvenient to say?" Yun Qingyi asked.

“That’s not it.” The mermaid princess waved her hand and sighed. “It’s a long story about this. I’ll tell you after you’ve settled in here.”

"I have a favor to ask of you then, senior."

After listening, Yun Qingyi nodded and didn't ask any further questions: "Okay, I'll talk about it later."

Upon entering the palace, Yun Qingyi looked around and confirmed her suspicions.

This is indeed exactly the same palace they entered when they first arrived at the Mermaid Palace, but compared to that, the current palace is obviously more magnificent and dreamlike.

All around, jellyfish emitting tiny fluorescent lights and crystal-clear fish swam about.

"These are all for decoration," the mermaid princess explained, assuming Yun Qingyi was curious as she looked around the palace.

"Hmm? Decorations?" Although Yun Qingyi's attention wasn't entirely focused on the swimming fish, the mermaid princess's words still made her pause for a moment.

“Yes, that’s right.” The mermaid princess nodded. “These jellyfish and crystal fish have been enchanted and can only swim along a planned path.”

"How is it? Isn't it beautiful?"

Yun Qingyi raised her hand, looked at the little jellyfish that were swimming past her fingertips and nodded, "Yes, they are indeed very beautiful. I thought these little guys had accidentally wandered in here."
