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

By this time, Liangming had already made contact with the people outside the Dream Realm.

He could sense his people, and now that the dream had collapsed, it was even easier for him to contact them.

"How did it go?" Yun Qingyi asked when she saw Liangming return.

Liang Ming smiled slightly, "We'll be able to go out in a little while. Actually, my people have been trying to wake us up outside, but the power of the dream is too strong, so we've only been able to make contact now."

"Great!" Leng Zhan exclaimed happily upon hearing Liang Ming's words, "We can finally go out."

The others were also happy to hear Liangming's words, but their happiness only lasted a short while before they calmed down.

Looking at the mermaid princess in Yun Qingyi's arms, Ruan Qi said with some worry, "Uncle-Master, we've gone out. What about Liangmeng? It seems she's still in this dream that's both real and unreal."

Can we take her out of here?

"Give it a try." Yun Qingyi looked down at Liang Meng, her expression calm. After sensing the change in the surrounding atmosphere, she threw her into the storage ring that Ci Gui had given her.

That spirit ring can store living things; hopefully, it can take Liangmeng out with it.

Space tore open, and everyone's minds immediately went blank. When they woke up again, they found themselves in a field of sea lilies, surrounded by a vast expanse of white, with countless jellyfish swimming in the distance, shimmering with tiny fluorescent lights.

"You guys are awake."

Just as they came to their senses, Yun Qingyi and the others heard this aged voice.

Who?

Yun Qingyi opened her mouth, but found that she seemed unable to speak at the moment, and her body was limp, as if she had lost control of her body and could not move.

"Don't be nervous. You've just come back and need some time to adjust to your bodies. You'll be able to move around in a little while."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qingyi did not try to struggle. She opened her eyes and quietly watched the white jellyfish swimming in the sky, calculating the time.

I don't know how much time passed, but I finally regained feeling in my body. I tried to move my fingers and then sat up.

Upon seeing this, the merman standing beside her quickly helped her up, speaking gently, "You're awake."

Yun Qingyi didn't answer, but glanced around subtly. Yun Qingrou and Ji Zhaoze and the others also woke up one after another.

They were surrounded by a ring of merfolk, which enveloped them.

The place they were in was completely unfamiliar to them. "Where is this?" they wondered, unable to help but ask.

They had been heading towards the Mermaid Palace, so logically, even if they hadn't reached the Mermaid Palace, they should have been on a familiar path once they returned to the real world.

And this place is completely unfamiliar to me.

Before the merfolk could speak, Yun Qingyi asked again, "You brought us here?"

Upon hearing Yun Qingyi's question, the old merman who seemed to be the leader nodded: "Yes, friends from afar. The situation was too critical at the time, so we had no choice but to bring you all here."

"So what is this place?"

Hearing Yun Qingyi ask again, the female merman who had been holding some kind of classical book stepped forward, flipped through the book, and answered her question seriously: "According to the instructions in the book and my judgment, this should be the ancient sea territory mentioned in the ancient book."

"The ancient sea realm opens about once every thousand years. We were lucky to be able to enter this world and save our lives at the most critical moment."

Yun Qingyi: "..."

Yun Qingrou and Ji Zhaoze: "..."

What a coincidence! Yun Qingyi couldn't help but think to herself.

Listening to the descriptions of these merfolk, Yun Qingyi could roughly deduce that something terrible must have happened during the time they entered the dream.

Fortunately, the opening of the ancient sea territory allowed them to escape this crisis.

It's truly a miracle that Heaven hasn't forsaken me.
