I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

Huo Linyuan and Ling Qing walked into the conference hall. Deka Kes stood in front of her seat. She folded her hands on her abdomen and leaned forward slightly.

Deka Kess only looked up after Huo Linyuan and Ling Qing sat down. When she saw Huo Linyuan, her eyes lit up and she smiled sweetly: "Good morning, respected Marshal."

Ling Qing was disgusted by the sweet and artificial voice, and wondered what on earth this woman was doing here?

Deka Kes's eyes seemed to be glued to Huo Linyuan, which made Qi Yan, who had been paying attention to her since she came in, feel a little uncomfortable.

Ling cleared his throat and successfully attracted Deka Kes's attention to himself. He was afraid that if he didn't stop the other party's unscrupulous gaze, the marshal would throw him out immediately.

Who in the entire galaxy doesn't know that the Imperial Marshal is "unworldly" and not interested in women, or is this the only method used by the royal minions?

"Oh, how rude! Please forgive me for not greeting you right away, dear Adjutant Ling. The Marshal's demeanor is so fascinating."

There was a panic expression on Deka Kes' face, and there was just a hint of shyness in the look she gave Huo Linyuan. Her fair cheeks were stained pink, and her pair of bright eyes were like an ignorant deer, filled with helplessness.

Qi Yan also sensed something was wrong at this time. Was this woman trying to use her beauty to lure him? After realizing this, Qi Yan felt that his three perspectives were impacted.

If he remembered correctly, Shen Yi said that the person in charge of the Dika family was already two hundred and thirty years old. In an era where the average age in the interstellar world was three hundred years old, she was old enough to be Huo Linyuan's great-grandmother.

Ling Qing looked at Deka Kess with interest. The person in front of him was completely different from the one he had seen before.

There is no doubt that Deka Chris's acting skills are good. If her age had not been accepted in advance, just from this moment, she really looks like a girl who is just beginning to fall in love.

However, once you consider her age and what Shen Yi had found out, this look makes people feel like they have swallowed a hundred flies.

Qi Yan rubbed Huo Linyuan's chest sympathetically, but did not relax her vigilance against Deka Kes.

Huo Linyuan's icy face softened a little after feeling Qi Yan's actions. The next moment, he looked coldly at Deka Kes, and his terrifying mental power poured out mercilessly.

"Is this the upbringing of the Deka family?" His voice was cold, but the aura he exuded was captivating.

Deka Kes's face changed. Facing Huo Linyuan's mental pressure, she had a splitting headache.

She clenched her teeth and slumped to the ground in embarrassment. A flash of fear flashed across her eyes, but she concealed it very well the next moment.

When she spoke again, her voice was no longer as calm as before: "I don't know what I did wrong to make the marshal angry, but please calm down for now, marshal. I do have something important to report."

Qi Yan rubbed Huo Linyuan's chest. At this moment, his curiosity about this woman reached its peak. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he seemed to feel a strange breath from this woman just now.

Huo Linyuan restrained his mental strength, but his expression remained as cold as ever. His eyes even darkened when he noticed that Qi Yan was interested in her.

Ling Qing knew that Huo Linyuan was really angry at the moment, so he quickly took over the conversation and looked at Deka Kess sharply: "If it's an important matter, why are you so reluctant to tell me?"

"This..." Deka Kes showed hesitation. At this moment, she was lying on the ground with messy hair. With her young and beautiful face, even with a frown and confusion, she looked pitiful.

However, no one present was moved at all. Seeing that no one paid attention to her, Deka Kes had to stand up awkwardly.

She straightened her hair, but didn't dare to look at Huo Linyuan again. Instead, she looked at Ling Qing and said, "It's not that I intentionally concealed it, but this matter is of great importance..."

"Could it be that in the eyes of Patriarch Dika, the Marshal and I are not important enough to know what you mean by 'big thing'?" Ling Qing's tone was nonchalant. He was curious about what this woman wanted to do by doing this.

"Of course not," Deka Koss hastily denied, perfectly showing the horror of an innocent person being wrongly accused. She paused before continuing, "In fact, I found liquid gold in the veins."

Having said this, Deka Kes straightened her chest, as if she had found her support. She gently brushed the dress on her body, then took out a gold-stamped invitation from the storage space at her waist and handed it to Ling Qing:

"I will hold a banquet at Bi Mansion in a few days, and I will inform you of the news about the liquid gold at that time. I hope the Marshal and Adjutant Ling can come to my humble abode."

Ling Qing raised his eyebrows. So this was her purpose. This woman was really bold. She set up the Hongmen Banquet so openly. Did she think that this news would definitely attract us?

However, if I had not known about the existence of liquid gold in advance, I might have been attracted to it. After all, the value of liquid gold is extraordinary.

If it was just a suspicion before, Ling Qing is now almost certain that Deka Kess must be related to the royal family, and the Ye family's private sale of high-quality rare gold is probably driven by her behind the scenes.

As for these rare golds, of course, they all ended up in the hands of the royal family, and Ye Qin was probably just their scapegoat.

"I hope that Master Dika will not let me down. If there is nothing else, please leave first." Unexpectedly, Huo Linyuan suddenly expressed his opinion.

His face was calm, but if you listened carefully, you could tell that his tone seemed a little impatient, as if he was really attracted by the news about liquid gold.

A hint of joy flashed in Deka Kes's eyes. She placed the invitation on the table and then gracefully performed a noble etiquette towards Huo Linyuan and Ling Qing: "Prosperity never ceases. Deka Kes will take her leave first and await your arrival."

After saying this, she left the conference room with dignity and composure, as if her previous obsession and fear-stricken look were just an illusion.

Ling Qing seemed to be thinking about something. This was what he found hard to understand. No matter how good a person's acting skills were, it was impossible for him to completely ignore the abruptness and seamlessly connect multiple faces in a short period of time.

Ling Qing could feel that her previous reaction was not entirely fake, at least that kind of fear could not be faked. She was really afraid of the marshal, but why did she seem so calm when she threw the bait, or what was she relying on?

"Why are you..." Of course, what surprised Ling Qing the most was Huo Linyuan's decision.

At this time, Huo Linyuan was covering his chest with his hands. After a while, he took Qi Yan out of his pocket and placed her on the table with his palm.

Qi Yan was a little excited. Just now when Deka Kes approached, he suddenly smelled a very unpleasant odor.

In fact, the word "smell" is not appropriate to describe it. Although Qi Yan can "see" external objects through his mental power, he cannot smell any smell.

The reason why he said it smelled bad was just a feeling he had. It was like suddenly smelling the stench of decay, making him feel sick and want to vomit.

Qi Yan was already feeling unwell, and after this stimulation, he was exhausted both physically and mentally. Fortunately, the other party didn't stay for too long.
