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

“She…” Yun Qingyi was about to speak, but she didn’t know how to explain, after all, she had experienced too much during this period of time.

"I'll tell you all about it later," Yun Qingyi said, then remembered what the others had just said: "What did you just say? We were only inside for a short while?"

“Yeah.” Leng Zhan nodded, scratching his head, puzzled. “Uncle-Master, what’s wrong?”

"It's nothing," Yun Qingyi replied, turning to look at Liang Meng, while Yun Qingrou and Ji Zhaoze also turned their heads at the same time.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he knew what the seniors wanted to ask, but he shook his head to indicate that he didn't know what was going on.

"Perhaps the flow of time inside the room is different from that outside," Ji Zhaoze said.

It's obvious that the flow of time is different, but I don't know why it's different. After thinking about it for a while, I simply stopped thinking about it. After all, I will know when the time is right.

Gu Qiqing and the others listened to their conversation and curiously leaned closer to hear it: "Junior sister, what are you talking about? Why does it feel so mysterious?"

"Ahem..." Not knowing where to begin explaining, Yun Qingyi coughed lightly. "Let's keep going and I'll tell you as we walk."

"Okay!" Ji Zhaoling and the others replied happily, turning around to check out the third room, but then they froze. "Huh, where's the room?"

Where did they all go?

"It was just here a moment ago."

Liang Ming: "..." He, who had been paying attention to his surroundings, quietly spoke up: "Actually, the room was already gone when Qingyi came out..."

Liang Meng glanced at Liang Ming, her expression somewhat ambiguous. From the moment she left the second room, she had immediately noticed this merman.

Liang Ming noticed the gaze and his eyes flickered. He had also noticed Liang Meng immediately, but the two of them remained silent, waiting for Yun Qingyi to introduce them to each other.

However, Yun Qingyi was only focused on resolving all the problems and didn't notice this detail at all. Seeing that all the doors were gone, she remained silent for a moment before saying directly, "Let's go. Isn't it more convenient without the doors?"

"Let's skip going in and go straight upstairs."

Although the matter was bizarre, everyone, led by Yun Qingyi, didn't say anything or think there was anything wrong, and obediently followed her upstairs.

On the stone steps, Yun Qingyi briefly explained to Ruan Qi, Gu Qiqing, and the others what had happened in the second room.

Everyone else was shocked, but Liang Ming reacted the most. He looked directly at the mermaid princess without any hesitation and said in disbelief, "So... Qingyi, are you saying that this female mermaid is my ancestor?"

“Uh…” Yun Qingyi glanced back and forth between Liang Ming and Liang Meng, then nodded affirmatively, “Logically speaking, yes…”

"only……"

As she was walking, Yun Qingyi suddenly stopped.

He looked at Liangming and Liangmeng again, "Didn't the entire Merfolk die in the disaster?"

Upon hearing this, the mermaid princess looked at Liangming with a scrutinizing gaze, after all, in her memory, no one from the mermaid race had survived.

Moreover, the curse from a thousand years ago was a collective curse; no matter where the merfolk were, they would be wiped out by the curse.

It was something she only understood much later, and she also understood why Tuso and her father insisted on not migrating, because whether they migrated or not, it would not change the fact that they were cursed.

The fact that the emperor threw the treasures he had obtained from the seabed crevices back into the sea to restore its energy was indeed the most effective method at the time.
