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

Chapter 164 The Mermaid Emperor

Although the pain was still there, Ryogo had regained some of his strength and happened to hear what the mermaid grandmother said.

Because he was curled up on the ground, no one noticed that his face darkened for a moment.

Liangwu had never suffered such humiliation since childhood. Although he had done many wrong things, he had always treated the elders of the clan with utmost respect and had never had any excessive thoughts.

But now, they're actually whipping him with a flogging stick because of someone else!

Thinking of this, Liang Wu's eyes darkened.

Sure enough, these people never took him seriously. From childhood to adulthood, they only favored Liang Jiao and Liang Meng. Even when Liang Jiao had an accident and left the Mermaid Palace, they never seriously looked at him!

Even between him and these outsiders, he was inclined to side with the outsiders.

So what if these people really are descendants of another faction of merfolk? So what if that other faction of merfolk has sacrificed a lot for the merfolk race?

It's been so many years! Even if we weren't outsiders before, what's the difference between us now?

And these people actually made him suffer humiliation in front of so many people because of those outsiders...

Liang Wu lowered his eyes, a ruthless glint flashing in his pupils: Since that's the case, don't blame him for being heartless.

If they like these people so much, then... let them stay in this Western Sea forever, along with these outsiders!

At this moment, Yun Qingyi sensed Liang Wu's unusual behavior through the Returning Heart Mantra for some reason. She raised an eyebrow, somewhat curious about what had caused Liang Wu to break down again.

But she didn't have time to find out about these things right now.

She looked at the approaching carriage ahead, her expression suddenly becoming serious, and the mermaid princess standing beside her also frowned slightly.

The carriage was made of several huge seashells and inlaid with luminous pearls of different sizes, making it not only gorgeous but also somewhat dreamlike.

A dozen or so male merfolk, resembling guards, followed beside the carriage, carrying tridents and looking solemn.

Finally, the Mermaid King has arrived.

The Merfolk are quick to transmit information, so the Merfolk Emperor should have known about what happened here immediately. His absence for so long clearly indicates that he hadn't taken what was happening here to heart.

The fact that he's come out now means there must be something he cares about.

Yun Qingyi recalled what had just happened and then made a guess.

The reason why the Mermaid King suddenly appeared should be that the old Mermaids wanted all Mermaids to know about another Mermaid faction.

Based on the old merman's previous words, it can be inferred that the reason why the current mermen are completely unaware of the other faction of mermen is because the Merman Emperor intervened to suppress them.

Yun Qingyi narrowed her eyes and became extremely alert.

Although I don't understand why the Mermaid King would deliberately hide things about the other faction.

But if that's the reason they came, then their situation might not be so pleasant.

The carriage didn't need anyone to pull it; perhaps due to some kind of magic, the wide carriage slowly moved towards them with the current.

The merfolk around them had already been standing respectfully to the side. Although the merfolk were few in number and did not care much about the boundary between themselves and the royal family, they still had a natural dividing line for the emperor in their clan.

The magnificent carriage gradually approached the merfolk, and the guards beside it cleared a path with tridents.

Yun Qingyi subconsciously used her spiritual power, tentatively trying to see through the layers of curtains on the carriage to get a better look at what was happening inside.

The curtains did not obstruct her view as she had imagined; on the contrary, she could see everything inside clearly with just a subconscious movement.

Yun Qingyi was slightly startled, for the Mermaid Emperor behind the curtain was meeting her gaze with great interest.
