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

Since they returned to this room, they haven't seen Tuso again.

"What Tuso?" The mermaid princess asked, puzzled. "How come he's in this room?"

"Has there never been one in your memory?" Yun Qingyi asked, taken aback.

"Shouldn't there be?" The mermaid princess looked at the people in front of her with some confusion.

Yun Qingyi hesitated for a moment, but still didn't reveal the truth. Since Tu Suo chose to end things this way, then so be it. After all, Liang Meng was the one who saved him. Let Liang Meng remember and discover the truth about their relationship herself.

Thinking this, Yun Qingyi glanced at the room, then at the cloud-like pearl around the mermaid princess's neck, and asked, "What are your plans next?"

"Where are the seniors?"

"We plan to continue exploring this palace, after all, we haven't finished exploring it yet, and we've only reached the second room." At this point, Yun Qingyi felt a little heartbroken. After all these days of trouble, they had only reached the second room, and they hadn't even left yet.

Thinking of this, Yun Qingyi casually asked, "By the way, Liangmeng, you've been here for so long, do you know what's inside this palace?"

In fact, Yun Qingyi didn't have much hope that the mermaid princess would say anything, after all, Liangmeng's memories had been altered so much that they were unrecognizable.

“I do know a little, senior,” Liang Meng said to Yun Qingyi after a moment’s thought.

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Yun Qingyi raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised that Liang Meng actually knew something. "Then can you tell me?"

After thinking for a while, Liangmeng said, "Although my memories have been in disarray since my predecessors went back a thousand years, I can still sense something."

The real problem our predecessors sought to solve lies on the top floor, and the aura there is very similar to the one we encountered when we entered the ancient sea territory.

"?? The Ancient Sea Territory?" Yun Qingyi and the others were somewhat taken aback. "You mean the entrance to the Ancient Sea Territory is up there?"

"How is that possible?" But when the mermaid princess heard the question, she only thought for a moment before nodding firmly: "Yes, that's right. The seniors all know that my blood can open the entrance to the ancient sea territory. In fact, it's not only that, I can also sense its location."

The reason I spent so long searching for the entrance in the forbidden area was because I was too weak at the time. Even if I had the ability, I couldn't use it.

But since absorbing my father's innate abilities, my strength has increased significantly. Now, many abilities that I couldn't manifest before due to my low strength can be used quite well.

"I see, thank you very much, Liangmeng." Yun Qingyi said sincerely, "Well... we'll be going now."

"Wait, senior." Just as Yun Qingyi and the others were about to leave, Liang Meng suddenly spoke up, "May I come with you?"

After asking the question, the mermaid princess gave a wry smile. "As you seniors have seen, I have nothing right now, and I don't know where to go, so I'd like to follow you. Is that alright?"

"Of course." After all, they were partners who had gone through thick and thin together, so Yun Qingyi had no reason to refuse. She smiled at the mermaid princess and said, "Then let's go together."

After saying that, the group opened the door together.

Seeing Liangming and Ruanqi waiting quietly outside, Yun Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they were all alright.

After all, they had been missing for too long, and now I'm really worried about them. Moreover, the reason they can breathe underwater is entirely due to the bead in Arou's hand.

Having spent so long in the past thousand years, she often wondered if Ruan Qi and the others might have drowned or suffocated because they didn't have the beads.

But then I thought, these people aren't stupid, and they're cultivators too. If they really sense something's wrong, they can run back to shore.

But now Yun Qingyi was really surprised. These people had been waiting outside for so long. Wouldn't they be short of oxygen?

Before Yun Qingyi could figure it out, Ruan Qi, Leng Zhan, and the others looked surprised and said happily, "Uncle-Master, you came out so quickly? You were only inside for a short while, and you resolved it so quickly?"

Ji Zhaoling exclaimed incredulously, "Amazing, Uncle-Master! You solved it in such a short time. You truly live up to your reputation."

Then, glancing at the merman princess behind Yun Qingyi and the others, her eyes lit up with surprise: "Uncles, why did you bring a little merman with you? Who is she?"
