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

"He considers himself holy and wise, but in reality he is hypocritical and filthy."

Yun Qingyi was truly stunned: "If what you say is true, then in his eyes, your father..."

"It's the same," the mermaid princess said calmly. "The only difference might be that Father knows what kind of person he is, but he doesn't care."

"In other words, Father prefers this kind of heir."

"Ruthless, cold-hearted, and scheming. As for me, my father had already lost hope in me and decided to give up on me long ago, when he helped Brother Liangjiao leave the Mermaid Palace."

"Sigh." The mermaid princess sighed, "The reason things have turned out this way is largely due to me."

"I should have known long ago that even with the seniors around, things wouldn't have gone smoothly. I was just taking a chance."

"What do you mean by that?" Yun Qingyi was somewhat surprised to hear the mermaid princess's words. So, she had foreseen all of this all along?

“I don’t understand my father’s thoughts, but I understand Tuso.”

"As I just said, Tuso doesn't like others attracting more attention than him, but the status of these seniors perfectly hits the nail on the head regarding what he dislikes," the mermaid princess said slowly.

"These are all secondary issues. The main reason is that my seniors and I got too close."

After a moment of silence, he said somewhat awkwardly, "He's jealous."

Yun Qingyi: "..."

"what?"

Yun Qingyi thought she had misheard and asked, "What?"

"You heard right, senior. It's exactly what you heard. Tuso is jealous of you." The mermaid princess said helplessly, "Although it sounds a bit narcissistic, it's the truth."

"He is such a dark, hypocritical person who can't stand the presence of other people around me."

“I’ve told my seniors before that he loves me.”

"But his love was a shackle, a cage, a suffocating sword. I was once imprisoned by him."

When she said this, Yun Qingyi's eyes widened suddenly, but the mermaid princess's expression remained indifferent, and she was somewhat puzzled: "He could have imprisoned me for the rest of his life according to his own desires, but when Liang Jiao came to rescue me in the end, he pretended not to notice and still released me."

“Hmm…” Yun Qingyi pondered for a moment, “Perhaps it is precisely because he loves you that he let you go.”

"Ha, how could that be?" Upon hearing this, the mermaid princess subconsciously scoffed: "A person like him, even if he loves, will always be full of selfishness and calculation."

Like you said, senior, it could never happen to him.

The mermaid princess opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something more, when a strange noise suddenly came from the surroundings, attracting the attention of the group.

The four looked at each other, fell silent, looked outside, and heard a different sound of flowing water.

Yun Qingyi frowned. Judging from the sound of the flowing water, it should be a sea creature, and there should be no fewer than three people coming.

As the sound of flowing water grew closer, the group finally saw the figure of the approaching person.

The Mermaid King?!

Upon seeing the figure, the four exchanged glances in unison, their eyes filled with shock and surprise.

Did they discover that they had escaped here? Yun Qingyi looked at the three people swimming closer and closer, feeling somewhat uneasy.

Besides the Mermaid King, there were two other merfolk. He had never seen one of them before, but the other seemed increasingly familiar to him the more he looked at her.

It wasn't until she glanced at the mermaid princess and noticed that the princess was staring intently at the mermaid that she suddenly realized what was going on.

Isn't he Tuso?
