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

Chapter 192 Mural

After searching for a long time, they successfully avoided several crises with the help of the mermaid princess.

Yun Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief, feeling quite fortunate: "Luckily, there's Liangmeng, otherwise I wouldn't know how to avoid these dangers, they would have come right in front of me without me even noticing."

The mermaid princess smiled proudly: "Hehe, how about that? I'm still quite useful, aren't I?"

They searched for a long time in the ancient sea area. It seemed that there was no night here. Even though it should have been nighttime, the sky did not darken.

Perhaps after a period of bad luck, they suddenly had a stroke of good fortune. The mermaid princess in front of them turned around excitedly and shouted, "Senior! Look! Isn't that the palace we're looking for!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Qingyi and the other two were stunned for a moment, and then quickly stepped forward.

Unsurprisingly, a towering and majestic palace stood not far ahead, looking both ancient and mysterious.

“This is…” Yun Qingyi’s face showed a rare look of surprise. “This should be the palace that Uncle Shang mentioned.”

The mermaid princess was overjoyed: "I never expected we'd be so lucky."

"By the way, senior, this is supposed to be your people's territory." The merman princess looked expectant. "If that's the case, does that mean we can come and go freely here without fear of any danger?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Qingyi and the others touched their noses, unsure how to explain to her. Because they were of the same race, they should be even more cautious.

Yun Qingyi coughed lightly and said calmly, "Liangmeng, it's not as simple as you think. Be careful once you go in." If this place is some kind of ruin, it will definitely be accompanied by great danger. After all, that's how the human race is. They don't care if you're one of them or not. Only the most powerful descendants are qualified to take what they leave behind.

“Okay.” Although she didn’t understand why Yun Qingyi would say that, in her mind, as long as they were of the same race, the things left behind by their predecessors would be passed on to them without any barriers.

"Alright, let's go in," Yun Qingyi said, worried that Liangmeng might be in danger if she went too far ahead. She told her, "Liangmeng, don't stray too far from us. Come back a little and stay close to us to check for danger."

Upon hearing Yun Qingyi's words, the mermaid princess obediently returned to her side: "Yes, senior."

As they climbed the long steps and looked at the ancient and heavy gate, before they could even push it open, the gate made a strange sound and slowly opened on its own.

The group exchanged glances and went inside.

Upon entering the gate, the group was taken aback to find that there was no water flowing around them.

"There's no water here either?" Yun Qingyi murmured, but then she thought that this was a place built by their human ancestors, so it was normal that there was no water.

As if remembering something, he turned to look at the mermaid princess. Seeing that she looked normal, he felt relieved, but still asked, "Liangmeng, are you feeling unwell? Are you having difficulty breathing?"

The mermaid princess shook her head, her eyes also filled with wonder: "No, senior, it's the same here as down below. There's no water, yet we can breathe freely. It's amazing."

"Hmm." Upon hearing this, Yun Qingyi said nothing more.

Looking around, she realized that although the palace appeared majestic and mysterious, it was no different from the palaces she had seen before. The only difference, she thought, was...

Yun Qingyi walked to the wall and looked at the murals carved on it.

The main difference lies in the murals, which are only found in certain caves.

Looking at the murals with their strong ethnic characteristics, Yun Qingyi stepped forward and touched them.

“This is… a mural depicting a Li ethnic group’s sacrificial ceremony.” Ji Zhaoze said, following Yun Qingyi’s gaze to the wall in front of them.

"The Li ethnic group?" Yun Qingyi looked blank; she seemed to know nothing about them.

Seeing Yun Qingyi's blank look, Ji Zhaozhe smiled and said, "It's normal that Junior Sister doesn't know about them. They are an ancient tribe, and there are very few records about them on the continent. I only learned about them by chance."

After saying that, he looked at the mural and said, "I didn't expect to run into you here."
