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

The old merman sighed inwardly, it was a real pity that these people had left like this, and now he would no longer be able to receive their help.

Thinking about it, the old merman's smile became even more sincere, trying to persuade the group to stay by being more enthusiastic.

However, Yun Qingyi was thinking about what Liang Jiao had told him and did not want to stay here any longer. Moreover, the Merfolk were not in any trouble now, and they had already stayed in the Western Sea long enough, so it was indeed time for them to leave.

Before leaving, Yun Qingyi specifically asked Liang Meng if she wanted to go with them.

Yun Qingyi was worried that although the Merfolk had accepted her, she no longer had any memories of her past and was much more naive than before. She was concerned that something might happen to Liangmeng if she stayed here alone.

But when Liangmeng heard Yun Qingyi's words, she smiled and shook her head, "No, Qingyi, I want to live with my people and I don't want to leave my hometown. I'm sorry."

"It's alright." Hearing this, Yun Qingyi was somewhat surprised, but she respected her choice and didn't say anything more.

After saying a few more words, she said, "Then we're leaving."

"Wait!" Liangming, who had been quietly standing to the side, suddenly spoke up anxiously.

"Qingyi...I..." Seeing everyone looking at him, the handsome man lowered his head shyly, his cheeks slightly flushed, and murmured, "I...I want to go with Qingyi."

"What?" Yun Qingyi didn't hear clearly because the voice was too soft.

Liangming looked up at her, his deep blue eyes filled with sincerity, and said earnestly, "I want to leave with Qingyi, is that alright?"

"This……"

"No!" Before Yun Qingyi could say anything, the old merman said decisively.

"Clan leader!"

"No means no!" The old merman ignored Liangming's pleas, his expression serious and his tone brooking no dissent.

"Liangming, you should know your own identity. If you were an ordinary merman, it would be fine for you to go wherever you want. But don't forget, you are the Merman Emperor appointed by the previous clan leader and the wizard. You absolutely cannot leave the Merman clan!"

Upon hearing this, Liangming lowered his head, a bitter smile on his lips. "I...I haven't forgotten..."

Seeing this, the old merman sighed and said earnestly, "Our merman race has finally gradually gotten back on track. You are the only one in the past thousand years whose future merman emperor has been predicted by the wizard. Before, you seemed to run away and go out of the merman palace to play. We didn't say much and just let you be."

But after all that has happened, we hope you will take on the responsibilities you should bear, and it's time for you to learn how to manage the merfolk.

“Clan leader…” Liang Ming’s eyes dimmed as he glanced at Yun Qingyi. His slender fingers unconsciously clenched into fists, as if he were struggling with something in his heart.

After a while, he gradually loosened his grip, and his voice became much calmer: "Yes... I understand, clan leader." But a hint of bitterness appeared at the corners of his mouth.

"So, you're the new Merfolk Emperor." Yun Qingyi looked at the old merfolk, then at Liang Ming, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Not bad, keep it up. I believe you can govern the merfolk race even better."

Upon hearing Yun Qingyi's words, Liang Ming was slightly taken aback, "You..."

"What about me?" Yun Qingyi smiled. "If you're sad because we're parting ways, there's no need to be so sentimental. There's still a long time ahead, and we'll definitely see each other again."

Upon hearing this, Liangming's azure eyes flickered slightly, as if he had suddenly seen the light, but he still asked with some uncertainty, "Is it really possible to see each other again?"

"As long as you believe."

"it is good."

I believe you.

Looking into Yun Qingyi's eyes, Liangming whispered to himself.

"I will manage the merfolk very well and will not let you down."
