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

While the old merman was gloating, Yun Qingyi and the others had already started working.

Because of the presence of spiritual energy, and because Ji Zhaoze is a renowned genius in formations, coupled with the support of numerous magical treasures, rebuilding the Mermaid Palace was not a particularly difficult task.

Two days later, after Ji Zhaoze finished imbuing the outer layer of the Mermaid Palace with the last defensive formation, everyone was very satisfied with the newly built Mermaid Palace.

Over the past two days, the merfolk have collected their favorite seashells from various places, cast spells on them, and carved their names on them. In this way, a seashell bed that belongs only to them is completed.

The old merfolk directed the other merfolk to assign accommodations, and after everything was arranged, they thanked Yun Qingyi and the others with smiles.

"No need," Yun Qingyi said calmly. "You saved us before, so this is what we should do. It's just a small favor, so there's no need to be polite."

Despite saying that, the old merman still thanked him respectfully.

Although the old merman was cunning, he was still very grateful for this kindness. Moreover, out of consideration for Yun Qingyi and the others, he originally did not accept Liang Meng, but this time, when the Mermaid Palace was being rebuilt and accommodations were being allocated, Liang Meng was also included.

Moreover, their accommodations were better than most people's, which was actually a complete acceptance of Liang Meng.

Yun Qingyi was somewhat surprised by the Merfolk's decision, but after thinking about it carefully, it made perfect sense.

Although the Merfolk have broken free from the curse, their inherent goodness has continued to influence them throughout history. Even though they are no longer as innocent and kind as before after the curse was broken, their darker side is just a few petty schemes.

However, this is understandable, since the Merfolk are a very special group. They don't have much strength and can only proceed cautiously and be meticulous in their calculations.

To be honest, it was actually the merfolk who made an unwise choice to accept Liangmeng. After all, they didn't know that Liangmeng had purified the curse. Keeping this cursed merfolk by their side without knowing this was indeed a very dangerous thing.

After all, no one knows whether this curse might spread from Liangmeng's body to other merfolk through some means.

They must have considered this possibility, but they still accepted it, which left Yun Qingyi with mixed feelings.

At that moment, Liangmeng, who knew nothing about the situation, was looking around her residence with great curiosity.

"Wow! This room is so big, thank you, Elder Chief!" She happily swam around the room.

The old merman smiled and stroked his beard, though he didn't know why Liangmeng was suddenly so kind to him, and she had clearly changed since leaving that palace.

But one shouldn't hit a smiling face. She was smiling so warmly that he couldn't be too rigid about the rules. After all, she was a merman, and mermen were a rare race. Although he was a little scared, there was no precedent in the merman race for abandoning their companions throughout history.

He was no exception; as the clan leader, he had to be responsible for every single merman.

So after much thought, he decided not to let Liangmeng leave the Merfolk and drift alone, but he would keep an eye on her at all times to prevent any accidents.

During the conversation, Ji Zhaoze had already set up a third layer of defense for the Mermaid Palace and set up a protective array for it, and told the old merman how to activate it.

Hearing this, the old merman couldn't stop smiling, and even when Yun Qingyi and the others were about to leave the merman's palace, he was still reluctant to part with them.

"I didn't expect the old clan chief to be so hospitable," Leng Zhan said with emotion. "I really misunderstood him back then."

“Yes,” Ji Zhaoling couldn’t help but say, “I used to think he was a petty, pedantic, and spoiled old merman, but it turns out he’s actually quite nice.”
