I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

All the suppressed emotions seemed to explode at this moment, all the previous uneasiness and guilt surged up, and mist gradually filled the air.

Just as the fog was about to get out of control, suddenly something soft and warm stuck to the eggshell.

Although it was just a quick touch, it succeeded in freezing Qi Yan, and all the gathered emotions collapsed in an instant.

In that instant, only three words remained in Qi Yan's mind: being, being kissed...

"It's not useless," Huo Linyuan pressed his forehead against the eggshell. Qi Yan couldn't see his expression. "The egg is very important to me."

Qi Yan would never know what it meant to Huo Linyuan when he used that thin and fragile mental power to wrap around Huo Linyuan's fingertips.

It's like a light shining into the silent abyss, and the lonely life suddenly has a bond. Now that you have grasped it, you will never be willing to let it go.

"Dandan's mental power makes me feel relaxed." Huo Linyuan's tone was light, but he spoke every word seriously.

You, are a liar... Qi Yan retorted weakly in his heart, but from the place where the eggshells touched, he could clearly feel Huo Linyuan's emotions.

He was serious, not just comforting her. Was she really useful to him? Thinking of the word "very important", Qi Yan's whole body was getting hot, and even the eggshell was slightly pink.

"Dandan is my lucky star, because only with Dandan can I find the spiritual essence." Huo Linyuan raised his head, his eyes were filled with smiles, shining like stars, making everything around them pale in comparison.

Really? Qi Yan moved awkwardly, but she felt much better.

There was no mention of spiritual marrow in the original text, and Qi Yan didn't know what it was, but judging from their reactions, it must be very precious.

He rubbed Huo Linyuan's palm, conveying his emotions strongly: Don't push me away again next time!

Huo Linyuan gently rubbed the eggshell with his fingertips and raised the corners of his lips: "Okay."

Qi Yan's hair was finally smoothed down. He touched Huo Linyuan's pale face with his mental power, as if asking him if it hurt.

In the text, every time Huo Linyuan's mental power erupted, his injuries would be aggravated, to the point that even mental inhibitors could not suppress it in the later stages.

Each attack was extremely painful, and the author once summarized it in one sentence: scraping bones and cutting flesh is incomparable. You can imagine how painful it is.

"It doesn't hurt." Huo Linyuan said it calmly, but Qi Yan knew that the process would not be easy.

He used his mental power to circle Huo Linyuan's wrist, as if this would make him feel better. Huo Linyuan touched the eggshell and did not stop.

The warm atmosphere did not last long, and Shen Yi quickly took Lu Ke and others onto the cruiser.

The journey to Manladi City was smooth. Ling Qing had made arrangements early on. The temporary base of the Seventh Army - the Supreme Military Department of the Joint Defense Department was under strict control and was used as Huo Linyuan's temporary residence.

At this time, in the living room of the Deka family, Deka Kes was sitting on an extremely luxurious crystal chair, and below her was a fat middle-aged man, who was Ye Qin, the ruler of the Ye family.

"Dear Ks, you should consider my suggestion. After all, this proposal will bring only benefits to the Deka family." Ye Qin wore a smile that he thought was sincere, but there was a gleam of light in his narrow eyes.

"Brother Ye is right, but..." Dika Kesi paused, "If my Dika family stands with the Ye family this time, we will officially become enemies with the Kefei family."

"Although as Brother Ye said, this situation is beneficial to the Deka family and has no harm, but if I am inclined to the Kefei family, isn't it a reason?"

Deka Kess fiddled with her exquisite nails, looking a little nonchalant, but the meaning of her words was self-evident.

Ye Qin cursed the old witch inwardly, but a smile appeared on his face: "If the Dika family supports my Ye family, I will hand over the ownership of Planet M in the future."

Hearing this, Deka Kess covered his mouth and chuckled:

"Brother Ye, you must be joking. Not to mention that Planet M is not in our hands now, even if Brother Ye can really make the decision, what's the point of me coming here just based on that hollowed-out mineral vein?"

Deka Kess looked at Ye Qin with a smile, her bright eyes lively and innocent, but Ye Qin's face turned dark.

After a moment, Dekax slowly spoke again: "But I heard that Brother Ye has 'secretly' stockpiled a batch of high-quality rare gold. I wonder if you can open my eyes to it?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Qin's face turned ashen.

Ye Qin had always thought that he had done a very secretive job in the mine, but what Deka Kess said today made him feel cold in his heart.

Ye Qin felt a lump in his throat when he realized that there was a spy planted in his mansion. He forced a smile and said:

"I don't know where Kesi heard this rumor from. I have already reported all the mining data of rare gold to Adjutant Ling. How can there be any talk of hoarding?"

"Brother Ye, there is no need to rush to refute. You might as well go back and think carefully about my suggestion." Dika Kes smiled, and her palm-sized face looked bright and charming.

Ye Qin clenched and unclenched the hands on his legs several times. In the end, he was unable to maintain a standard smile and left the Deka family with a gloomy face.

Deka Kess looked at the open door with a sneer of contempt.

At this time, her personal maid carefully brought a cup of bright red liquid to her. Deka Kes looked at her lazily but did not take the cup. She said in a cold tone, as if with anger: "Where is the person?"

The maid seemed to be frightened, her hands began to tremble, and some of the liquid in the cup spilled out and splashed onto the hem of Deka Kes's skirt.

Seeing this, the maid fell to her knees. The sound of glass breaking rang in her ears. She was so scared that she lay on the ground and trembled all over.

"Look up." Deka Kos' voice was cold, completely different from the lively girl she used to be. The maid raised her head tremblingly, but the next moment her eyes widened in fear.

Three days have passed since Huo Linyuan arrived in Manladi City. Because he did not deliberately conceal his identity, and Ling Qing had arranged for Xiaoli Kefei's people to meet Lu Ke "smoothly", the news that Huo Linyuan was on Planet M had spread like wildfire.

The three major families came to hand in visiting cards one after another, but they were all blocked by Ling Qing with excuses.

In the lounge of the Military Department, Qi Yan was piloting the Kokura and hovering in the center of the room, with countless small tentacles waving around it.

If you look closely, you will see that each tentacle is surrounded by a glowing golden ball.

This was Huo Linyuan's new method of practicing mental power, which was to divide the mental power into multiple strands, and then try to catch the small golden light balls that were running around in the air.

The small golden ball of light was the firefly that Huo Linyuan had caught for Qi Yan before. Qi Yan had been practicing with it over the past few days. At first he just thought it was fun, but now he could control multiple strands of mental power to weave a small net.

As more and more small light balls were caught, Qi Yan gradually felt a little bored.

Huo Linyuan was in a meeting with Ling Qing and others regarding the liquid gold issue. Since Cardillo and others were also there, Qi Yan was temporarily unable to show up, so she stayed in the lounge.

After circling the last small ball of light, Qi Yan felt a little gloomy. At this moment, he heard someone walking in the corridor, followed by the sound of a door opening.

Qi Yan released all the small light balls in an instant. He opened the protective shield skillfully and jumped towards the door without thinking.

As soon as Huo Linyuan walked to the door, he seemed to have anticipated Qi Yan's move. He subconsciously took two quick steps and finally caught Qi Yan steadily.

"Nonsense." Huo Linyuan knocked the eggshell lightly.

At this moment, the whole room was filled with fleeing fireflies, and the golden light enveloped them, as if thousands of fireflies were flying around, like a dream, and Huo Linyuan's face also added a bit of warmth.

Qi Yan rubbed his palm, not taking the warning seriously at all. He thought silently in his heart: It’s really more comfortable to stay by your side.

This is something Qi Yan discovered recently. At first he thought it was his illusion, but later he found that as long as he was more than ten meters away from Huo Linyuan, he would feel tired more easily than usual.

Although he didn't know whether this was good or bad, Qi Yan didn't care much, because he wished to be with Huo Linyuan all the time so that he could keep abreast of plot changes at any time.
