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

Chapter 180 Dark Blue Pattern

"Sister!"

"Junior sister!"

Upon seeing Yun Qingyi, both Yun Qingrou and Ji Zhaoze's eyes lit up, and they walked towards Yun Qingyi.

Approaching Yun Qingyi, his expression turned serious again: "Sister, something's strange."

Ji Zhaoze nodded in agreement: "It's not just the room we get to through the Shell Heart Stone that's strange."

He took out the shell stone given to him by Uncle Shang and displayed it to everyone: "This shell stone also has problems."

Yun Qingyi looked at the shell stone in Ji Zhaoze's palm, her gaze falling on his wrist, where a special deep blue line spread from his wrist to his palm.

Noticing Yun Qingyi's gaze, Ji Zhaozhe smiled helplessly: "Junior sister, if I'm not mistaken, you should also have a pattern like this appearing in your mind, right?"

Yun Qingyi didn't speak, but glanced at Yun Qingrou in front of her.

Yun Qingrou stretched out her hand, the deep blue lines on the back of her hand were unusually conspicuous. Her expression was sullen, as if she was a little unhappy: "Sister, even I miscalculated this time, and fell for that old man's trick."

Before Yun Qingyi could ask anything else, the mermaid princess suddenly grabbed her hand and said somewhat flusteredly, "We'll talk about it later. Although we've left the room, it's not safe here. Come with me."

It was rare to see the mermaid princess so serious. Yun Qingyi and the others exchanged glances and quickly followed her to the nearest archway.

"Oh, right, hold each other's hands," the mermaid princess said, turning around.

Upon hearing this, Ji Zhaoze and Yun Qingrou exchanged glances. Yun Qingrou took Yun Qingyi's other hand first, and then smiled at Ji Zhaoze.

Ji Zhaoze hesitated for half a second, his hand frozen in mid-air, before finally cautiously and gently grabbing the edge of Yun Qingyi's sleeve.

Seeing that everyone was connected, the mermaid princess quickly walked into the archway. A white light flashed, and as the scene before them gradually became clear, the four of them realized that they had left the palace.

"Where is this..." Looking at the completely deserted and even somewhat dilapidated place, he hesitated and asked, "Are we still in the Mermaid Palace?"

Upon hearing the question, the mermaid princess released her grip, turned around, and nodded to Yun Qingyi: "Yes, senior, we haven't left the mermaid palace yet."

"Is this also a mermaid palace?" Yun Qingrou looked around, her voice unusually tinged with surprise.

Yun Qingyi also looked around.

Indeed, compared to the magnificent and dreamlike mermaid palace she had seen before, this place seemed somewhat out of place. If the mermaid princess hadn't looked so serious, she herself would have found it hard to believe.

Seeing the disbelief in Yun Qingyi and the others' eyes, the Mermaid Princess smiled and said, "This place is indeed very different from the Mermaid Palace in everyone's eyes, because although this place is still within the Mermaid Palace's territory, it has been abandoned by us Mermaids."

Furthermore, no mermaid is allowed to enter this place; anyone who ignores this warning and enters will be permanently expelled from the mermaid race.

"Uh..." After listening, Yun Qingyi opened her mouth, turned around and looked at the archway that had just come out from inside, and asked, "If that's the case, why is there an archway here?"

"If that's the case, then anyone who possesses the Heart Stone can freely come to this place, right?"

Upon hearing this, the mermaid princess chuckled.

"Although there is an archway here, who said that the Mermaid King erected it here?"

She proudly raised her head: "I built this place bit by bit, without telling any of the merfolk, through my own hard work."

And look—”

The mermaid princess pointed to the archway: "Such a hidden location, able to evade Father's eyes and ears, only I could have found it."
