I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

Murogami Star, the main city of Tiandu.

There are large tracts of farmland and orchards in the city, with crisscrossing paths and lush greenery.

Many people in simple clothes were walking in the fields, talking and laughing, creating a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere.

Jun Yan was wearing a casual short-sleeved shirt, his trouser legs were rolled up high, and there was mud on the uppers of his shoes.

Before Qi Yan and the others came over, he was watering the vegetables in the garden.

"Marshal, your presence here truly brings honor to my humble abode. It is really rude of Jun Yan to fail to greet you personally. I hope you will forgive me."

Although Jun Yan said compliments, Qi Yan felt that he did not mean to compliment Huo Linyuan at all.

Qi Yan had felt before that he and Huo Linyuan seemed to be very familiar with each other.

Although Huo Linyuan said that it was because the other party and the Huo family had a partnership relationship, Qi Yan still felt that Jun Yan's attitude had exceeded the ordinary partnership.

"Mr. Jun does have the leisure time." Huo Linyuan said.

Jun Yan smiled and said, "I am an idle person, so this is not a good place to reminisce about the past. Why don't you follow me back to my humble abode and sit for a while so that I can change my clothes."

Before Huo Linyuan could answer, he lowered his head to look at Qi Yan who was held in Huo Linyuan's arms.

"We meet again. I apologize for offending you last time. My name is Jun Yan. Nice to meet you. Can you tell me your name?"

Qi Yan has not forgotten that his external identity is just a simulated mermaid.

So he stared left and right, but not at Jun Yan, pretending not to understand.

Huo Linyuan was very satisfied with his reaction, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, then he walked straight past Jun Yan and said coldly: "Let's go!"

-

After seeing the "humble abode" mentioned by Jun Yan, Qi Yan was shocked. This was not a humble abode at all, it was simply a castle.

It is even more magnificent than the imperial palace in Lingxing.

The visual impact was even greater after having just seen Helka's poverty.

Jun Yan brought Huo Linyuan to a courtyard where there was a spring, a woven rattan chair beside it, and flowers and plants dotted around it, which was very elegant.

"Marshal, please rest here for a while. I will come back to apologize after I wash myself up."

Then he looked at Qi Yan again and continued, "This pool contains natural spiritual spring water, which is good for mermaids. You can let the little mermaids go in and soak in it."

"Excuse me for leaving first." After saying that, Jun Yan left.

Huo Linyuan looked down at Qi Yan: "Want to go in and play?"

Qi Yan nodded, not because she wanted to play, but because she wanted Huo Linyuan to rest for a while.

Because there was no Xiaocang, Huo Linyuan had been carrying him all the way. Since he grew taller, Qi Yan felt that he had gained a lot of weight, and Huo Linyuan had just experienced a big battle.

No matter how strong he is, he is not made of iron. Although he said he was fine, he must be very tired.

Seeing him nod, Huo Linyuan first tested the water in the pool. After making sure there was no problem, he put Qi Yan into the water, and he sat on the rocks on the shore.

After a while, a maid brought fruits and tea.

Huo Linyuan took a spiritual berry, pried it open, put a straw in it, and handed it to Qi Yan.

The spiritual berries here are many times larger than the ones Qi Yan had eaten before, and are as big as a coconut.

Qi Yan had to hold it with both hands to keep it steady, but fortunately the water had buoyancy so he didn't have to use any strength.

After Qi Yan drank half of the juice, Jun Yan came back.

At this time, he had changed into a clean set of clothes, and his whole body exuded an air of nobility.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time, Marshal. There are many rare fruits in your mansion for the little mermaid to choose from. I will ask the maid to bring them to you later. Marshal, may I have a moment to talk to you?" Jun Yan said with a smile.

Huo Linyuan frowned, a little unhappy, and got straight to the point: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Jun Yan was stunned for a moment, then he put on a standard smile: "It's nothing important, I just want to talk to you about the lifelike mermaid."

He paused, looked at Qi Yan intentionally or unintentionally, and continued, "About why you promoted the Mermaid Project and what you wanted to hide through it."

Meeting his gaze, Qi Yan was startled and subconsciously looked towards Huo Linyuan.

Huo Linyuan was very calm. He touched Qi Yan soothingly.

Jun Yan's lips curled up slightly, and a genuine smile filled his eyes.

What he said just now was just a test, but the little mermaid really understood it.

Really cute...

Huo Linyuan's eyes turned cold, and he gave him a warning look, then lowered his head to look at Qi Yan: "Yan Yan, can you wait for me here?"

Qi Yan was shocked. Wasn’t it said that it was a simulated mermaid without thoughts?

He looked at Jun Yan, then at Huo Linyuan.

Huo Linyuan kept looking at him gently, as if to say it was okay.

After confirming this, Qi Yan nodded.

Not long after the two left, another maid came over to deliver fruit.

However, looking at the dazzling array of rare fruits with tempting fragrance in front of him, Qi Yan no longer had any appetite.

At this moment, his mind was completely focused on Jun Yan's words.

What did the other party know? Was he threatening Huo Linyuan?

If the other party has some plans, will they be in danger here?

Qi Yan picked the spiritual berries absentmindedly, with thousands of thoughts flashing through his mind.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a slight noise behind him.

Qi Yan turned around suddenly and saw a very handsome man standing on the shore, with panic and embarrassment still on his face.

But then the man calmed down and said softly: "I'm sorry, did I scare you?"

Qi Yan was stunned for a moment. The man in front of her was so handsome. The phrase "more beautiful than a woman" really fit him perfectly.

And he had the same silver hair as Qi Yan, but his hair was very long, tied with a light golden hairband, and hung behind his waist.

Maybe it was because of his hair color, but Qi Yan had an inexplicable liking for him.

After hearing his words, Qi Yan came back to her senses, but did not respond.

Although Qi Yan's intuition told him that the other party was not a bad person, he did not forget that they were in a strange place, and he did not want to create unnecessary trouble for Huo Linyuan because of his relationship.

The man squatted down on the shore. At this time, he and Qi Yan were in two different directions, with a long distance between them.

He picked up a white fruit the size of a pigeon egg from the table and carefully peeled off the skin.

While peeling, he said to Qi Yan: "This is called Xiangluo, it is a very nutritious fruit, very sweet, do you want to try it?"

As he spoke, he handed the peeled fruit to Qi Yan.

Qi Yan just looked at him and didn't move forward.

The man seemed a little disappointed when he saw this, and his eyes dropped.

"It's okay. If you don't want to eat this, there are others. This one is called Tianjiu. All the kids here like it."

He put the peeled white fruit back on the plate and took out a yellow fruit.

Then he just held it like that, looking at Qi Yan quietly, as if even if Qi Yan didn't want it, he would continue to take it.

Upon closer inspection, Qi Yan discovered that he looked very bad, with a tired and pale face.

After hesitating for a while, Qi Yan finally wagged her tail and swam towards him.
