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

Sensing that Yun Qingyi and the others had left, Tu Suo activated the formation again.

Amidst a blue and gold glow, his consciousness and soul were gradually absorbed by the formation.

He knew that half of the merfolk's soul was absorbed by the formation, while the other half transformed into specks of life force that entered Liangmeng's body.

Which half is he...?

He had calculated for half his life, but this was the one thing he couldn't foresee.

But he hoped that he could be the half that entered Liangmeng's body, so that it would mean he would be with her for all eternity.

As his consciousness finally dissipated, Tuso took out the Cloud Pearl he had prepared beforehand. The pearl was round and smooth, radiating a beautiful colorful halo, clearly an excellent Cloud Pearl.

But Tuso only glanced at it before tossing it into the crevice under the shell bed like trash.

Then, with his last bit of strength, he slowly walked towards the mermaid princess, pinned her down, and wove a phantom memory for her, deeply imprinting it into her dream.

Tuso looked at the person beneath him and smiled contentedly.

This is all I can do for you.

Even if you hate me or despise me, I will find you a path that will never be bound by curses.

"I love you, Liangmeng..." The last whispered words as consciousness faded.

Tuso's soul was slowly transformed into nutrients by the array and absorbed by it. A small portion of it turned into specks of life force, which eagerly entered Liangmeng's body.

……

On the other side, a thousand years later.

Yun Qingyi and the others returned to the second room a thousand years later. Looking at the familiar furnishings, it felt like a lifetime had passed.

"came back?"

Yun Qingyi and the others looked in the direction of the sound and saw the mermaid princess sitting indifferently on the seashell bed, no longer showing the madness and madness she had shown before.

"you……"

Yun Qingyi wanted to ask something, but before she could ask, the mermaid princess said calmly, "I know what you want to ask, but I don't want to say anything more."

You can now leave this room.

Yun Qingyi: "..."

"You think I'll just stop asking because you tell me to?" Yun Qingyi's expression turned cold. She summoned her spiritual energy and placed the sword directly against Yun Qingyi's neck.

These days, she's been running around, going here and there, and spending all her time in another dimension is quite annoying, so she doesn't have time to argue with the mermaid princess in front of her.

"Either tell me what you already know, or you die."

To everyone's surprise, the mermaid princess remained unmoved, simply saying, "Then die. I never intended to live anyway."

"Heh..." Yun Qingyi sneered coldly, "You seem to have a good attitude, but if you die, how can you face Tuso?!"

Upon hearing the name Tuso, the mermaid princess trembled instinctively, unable to distinguish between anger and grief.

"Don't talk to me about him! I don't want to hear it!" The mermaid princess trembled and suddenly became agitated.

"Does he think I'll be grateful to him for doing this?!"

The mermaid princess smiled coldly, "That was just him being delusional!"

Having said that, she said resentfully, "Our entire merfolk race was wiped out because of him! And you expect me to be grateful to him?!"

"That's just wishful thinking."

……

Yun Qingyi watched her scream quietly, and after she finally finished venting, she said calmly, "Since you hate him so much, why did you plot to send me back a thousand years ago?"
