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

Chapter 142 2 Abilities

She frowned and thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out. She shook her dazed head, looked at the group of people who had already gone into the hall, and quickly followed them.

Forget it, she'll deal with whatever comes her way. She's not going to think about it too much for now. Anyway, if those people really want to do something to her, there's nothing she can do about it.

Thinking this way, the mermaid princess felt much lighter instantly.

Inside the hall, Yun Qingyi and the other two casually looked around and found a place to sit down.

The mermaid princess walked in just then, and looked at Yun Qingyi and the others with a smug look, saying, "How about it? My secret base is pretty good, isn't it?"

"Although the palace looks a bit simple from the outside, it is very luxurious inside."

Yun Qingyi glanced at the palace piled with miscellaneous items and the stool that was barely big enough for her to sit on, but was missing a leg. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, she said nothing.

"Alright, now can you tell us what you want us to do?" she said calmly, looking at the mermaid princess.

"Yes, of course." The mermaid princess leaned closer to the group and said, "I've already brought you all here, so even if you wanted to change your mind, it wouldn't be possible now."

"But before that, I want to ask you a question." The merman princess looked at Yun Qingyi, her face full of doubt: "How did you discover that I had already realized you weren't mermen?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Qingyi's lips curled slightly: "Didn't I tell you not long ago? The merfolk have a difficult time reproducing and their population is small. Under such circumstances, wouldn't it be suspicious if the merfolk didn't recognize their own princess?"

"Looking back, it's perfectly normal to know that you've already noticed something."

After listening, the mermaid princess nodded thoughtfully, then frowned slightly: "That's not right."

"What's wrong?" Yun Qingyi raised an eyebrow.

“But you all have tails. Logically speaking, no matter how much I suspect you, I wouldn’t doubt that you’re not mermaids. But you just pointed out that I know you’re not mermaids.”

“This is very abnormal.” The mermaid princess swayed her fishtail and looked at Yun Qingyi with a determined expression.

"So, you actually knew all along that I have the ability to see through things to their essence."

"So it's possible to see through the essence?" Yun Qingyi murmured.

She knew the mermaid princess could see through fish tails because the mermaid princess told her directly in the second room.

She initially thought it was because of mind-reading abilities, but now it seems...

Yun Qingyi glanced at the mermaid princess who was smugly wagging her tail, her gaze shifting slightly. It seemed that in addition to mind-reading, the mermaid princess also had the ability to see through the essence of things.

But can the Merfolk have two abilities?

Even royalty can only awaken one ability, right?

Thinking this, Yun Qingyi asked directly, "Why do you have two abilities? Aren't merfolk only allowed to inherit one ability?"

Now it was the mermaid princess's turn to be bewildered: "What two abilities...? Do I have other abilities besides the ability to see through things?"

Uh……

Upon hearing this, Yun Qingyi was taken aback for a moment, and tentatively asked, "Don't you also have the ability to read minds?"

"Huh?" The mermaid princess looked completely bewildered. "I...I didn't!"

Although she is royalty, such special skills are not something that can be inherited at will, right?

Besides, she has already inherited the ability to see through things, making her one of the best among the merfolk. If she also had mind-reading abilities, wouldn't she be defying the heavens?

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Upon hearing this, not only Yun Qingyi fell silent, but Ji Zhaoze and Yun Qingrou also fell silent at the same time.

Yun Qingyi hugged the wall clock tightly and looked at Ji Zhaoze beside her: "Senior brother, do you know what's going on?"

Ji Zhaoze lowered his head and pondered for a moment. After a while, he shook his head helplessly at Yun Qingyi: "Over the years, I have traveled and read many ancient books and classics, and there are quite a few records about the merfolk, but I have never heard of such a situation."

"What are you talking about?" The mermaid princess blinked her beautiful eyes, looking completely bewildered.

"It's nothing," Yun Qingyi said calmly.

Although she appeared calm on the surface, the mystery in her heart deepened even further.

Since the mermaid princess did not inherit the ability to read minds, where did she get the ability to read minds from?

And then there's her relationship with Tusso...

Yun Qingyi had a vague feeling that as long as she sorted out these relationships, she could find the key to leaving the second room.

But thinking about the fog in my mind gave me a headache. The logic was sound, but unraveling the fog was no easy task.
