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

curse……

There were still living merfolk inside the palace, but their eyes were all vacant. Even when the Merfolk King killed his own kind in front of them, they did not react at all.

Like a puppet.

Yun Qingyi coldly looked around. Could this be the so-called curse?

What exactly happened to the Merfolk to be entangled in this curse? Yun Qingyi wondered. Seeing the Merfolk Emperor raise his sword again, she didn't have time to think. She flashed in front of the Merfolk Princess and knocked the sword away.

The Mermaid King, having lost its longsword, did not stop its attacks, baring its fangs and claws as it lunged at the two.

Yun Qingyi frowned, her spiritual energy surging around her, and sent the person flying, landing on the floor some distance away.

“Senior…” The mermaid princess stood beside Yun Qingyi, looking at everything before her with extremely complicated emotions.

"Do you have any idea?"

"No." The mermaid princess shook her head, even though it was obvious without thinking that this meant disaster was imminent.

But she never imagined that the disaster would cause the merfolk to kill each other. No... not kill each other. Looking at the merfolk emperor still struggling on the ground, the merfolk princess felt angry and sad.

She walked towards the Mermaid King, unable to resist the urge to confront him.

Seeing this, Yun Qingyi did not stop him. Instead, she used her spiritual power to trap the Pope, preventing him from making any harmful moves.

Upon arriving before the Mermaid King, the Mermaid Princess did not speak immediately. Instead, she remained silent for a while before saying, "You were actually not affected by the curse, were you?"

Upon hearing this, the Mermaid King, who had been struggling, stopped and burst into laughter. He then dropped his bloodthirsty and violent expression and looked at her with amusement: "As expected of my daughter, you figured it out so quickly."

“That’s right, I was indeed not affected by the curse.”

Upon hearing this, the mermaid princess's eyes blazed with resentment, filled with pain and confusion: "Why? Why did you do this?"

"Why?" Upon hearing this, the Mermaid King's expression turned manic again: "Of course, it's to live! Who doesn't want to live! What do you know? I'm eliminating evil for the gods. As long as I kill enough and destroy all your souls, the gods will surely spare my life in recognition of my achievements!"

"Gods? Eliminators?" Although she was filled with grief and indignation, the mermaid princess tried her best to calm herself down and asked the mermaid emperor. She had a feeling that this was something she had never heard of before.

"The deity is the Sea God! My naive daughter, we mermaids are born ugly. If it weren't for the Sea God giving us a chance to live, do you think the mermaid race would have survived to this day!"

"You probably don't know this, do you? The souls of merfolk after they die become the most filthy and wretched creatures in the world. Calling them evil spirits is an understatement. If no one destroys them, they will wander the world and wreak havoc on humanity."

"Now that the Soul-Soothing Lamp is gone, nothing can destroy the soul of the merman."

"I'm killing them now and eating their souls purely to relieve the Sea God's burden, Liangmeng. You've always been obedient since you were little, so please don't stop your father, okay?" The Mermaid King's tone was slightly seductive as he finished speaking.

The mermaid princess remained silent.

Seeing Liangmeng fall silent, the Mermaid King's eyes instantly revealed a vicious glint: "Liangmeng, are you trying to steal my credit and make the Sea God let you off the hook?"

"Let me tell you, don't even think about it! This credit is mine! The only one who will live is me!"

Before the Mermaid King could finish speaking, a sword pierced straight into his heart.

The Mermaid King stared in disbelief at the sword in his chest. He recognized it; it was the birthday gift Liang Meng had given him on his sixteenth birthday.

“Liangmeng…” Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, this time his own. He opened his mouth, uttering the last part of his sentence, “You…kill me?”
