I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

Above Hengtan Star, Potian and Heiyao, who were arguing, stopped at the same time.

They all looked toward the sea.

At this time, the strait around the palace began to ripple with waves, and from above it looked like a huge whirlpool.

An ancient and vast energy spread out from the depths of the whirlpool with the waves, and the waves became more and more rapid, as if something was about to come out from the bottom of the sea.

Huo Linyuan stopped and stared at the water.

At the same time, the surrounding environment is also quietly changing.

The originally bare circular islands began to grow green mosses, followed by ferns, and then dicotyledonous vines... Soon all the islands were covered with vivid green.

But in a blink of an eye, the green quickly turned yellow, then withered and died.

As the seasons changed, after a while, green burst out again from the withered, and this time small trees grew in the cracks of the rocks.

From shrubs to trees, thick soil gradually accumulated on the ground.

Hengtan Star is experiencing changes in time at a rapid pace, as if the past tens of thousands of years are being rushed through in the blink of an eye.

After experiencing tremendous changes, the sea level gradually returned to calm, and the circular island was now full of vitality.

Flowers are blooming in the jungle, petals are falling everywhere, and the air is filled with a faint fragrance that makes people feel relaxed and happy.

At this time, a small emerald green bird landed on the branch, and its clear chirping seemed to herald the revival of Hengtan Star.

However, Huo Linyuan didn't care about all these changes. His eyes always stayed on the place where Qi Yan disappeared.

Just then, he saw a flash of light under the water, followed by a moving song.

The voice was ethereal and melodious, just a soft humming, but it had the power to move people's hearts, as if it was a gift from God to all living beings.

In the baptism of the singing, Huo Linyuan clearly felt that his originally broken spiritual realm was relieved a lot, and his mind became clear.

He seemed to be bewitched and chased after the light without hesitation.

After crossing many small islands and bypassing numerous reefs, he finally caught up with the source of the sound.

What came into view was a touch of white. Just a back view made Huo Linyuan subconsciously slow down his breathing.

At this moment, the owner of the voice also turned around.

The lightning-shaped lines between the eyebrows and the light golden pupils were the same as what Huo Linyuan had seen in the laboratory before.

Qi Yan regained his fish tail, and was still in adult form, except that this time he had a pair of transparent ear fins behind his ears.

Seeing Huo Linyuan, Qi Yan stopped humming and slowly swam to Huo Linyuan's side.

At this time, Huo Linyuan couldn't help but bend his knees, half-kneeling on the ground, waiting for him to approach.

The silver fish tail appeared and disappeared in the water as Qi Yan moved, and soon he stopped in front of Huo Linyuan.

Qi Yan floated on the water, revealing his snow-white, round shoulders. His long silver hair fell softly behind his head, while the rest of his hair sank into the water, floating around him like a blooming snow lotus.

"Humanity?"

Hearing these two words from Qi Yan's mouth again, Huo Linyuan's reaction had become much calmer.

Unlike the alertness when she first asked the question, Qi Yan's eyes were gentle at this moment.

But after just looking at each other for a second, Huo Linyuan was sure that the person in front of him was neither his Yanyan, nor the cold and distant mermaid prince.

Qi Yan's expression at this moment was very gentle, as if she was infinitely tolerant. In those eyes full of wisdom, Huo Linyuan saw God's mercy for all living beings.

"Are you waiting for me?" Qi Yan asked.

Huo Linyuan looked straight into his eyes. He had clearly requested for this conversation thousands of times, but at this moment, Huo Linyuan did not feel the slightest bit of joy.

"You are not him." Huo Linyuan said affirmatively.

Qi Yan smiled, without any anger on her face: "I am him, and I am not him."

After saying this ambiguous sentence, he suddenly reached out his hand to Huo Linyuan's heart.

Huo Linyuan did not dodge, and when the white and slender fingers were about to touch his chest, Qi Yan's fingertips suddenly grew sharp nails.

The next second, the nails mercilessly scratched Huo Linyuan's chest.

A large hole was instantly cut in the protective suit made of rare gold, revealing the snow-white chest.

Finally, the sharp nails stopped on Huo Linyuan's chest. At this moment, under that piece of skin, a faint blue electric light was visible to the naked eye.

Qi Yan retracted her nails, placed her palm on his chest, and said softly in a moment: "So that's it."

The book of destiny that Xu Yao gave to Huo Linyuan in the realm of seclusion has now become one with him.

Feeling all this, Qi Yan's mouth curled up. He looked into Huo Linyuan's eyes and asked softly, "My destined one, what do you want?"

The breeze blew by, ruffling Huo Linyuan's hair. At this moment, black and white, gods and believers seemed to be frozen into an eternal painting.

After a moment, a cold but firm voice was heard, saying in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Give him back to me."

-

A few days later, Kokura.

After returning from Hengtan Star, Qi Yan once again returned to his previous cold and distant self.

After his energy was exhausted that day, he automatically reverted to human form. Just as Huo Linyuan guessed, he had no memory of his subsequent transformation into a mermaid.

After returning, Qi Yan began to read the information about the mermaid tribe.

Seeing him working so hard, Li Jia wanted to dissuade him, but Qi Yan was no longer the meticulous and careful Qi Yan who was afraid of worrying others.

"Since you have the aura of Young Master in your body, I have no problem recognizing you as my father, but I don't want you to see me as someone else."

Qi Yan frowned slightly, with a hint of coercion in his words.

Li Jia was stunned and felt inexplicably uncomfortable, but he soon discovered that Qi Yan had become a little impetuous since returning from Hengtan Star.

Putting away his thoughts, he said seriously: "It is natural for a father to worry about his son. Since you still recognize me as your father, I don't want you to hide any difficulties from me."

Hearing this, Qi Yan was silent for a moment, then he said calmly: "Now I need the Xuan Yue Crystal to save that human."

Hearing this, Li Jia's expression flashed a little unnatural, because he had been struggling with whether to give the crystal stone to Qi Yan these days.

But Qi Yan keenly caught the change in his expression and asked coldly: "Do you know the whereabouts of Xuan Yuejing?"

It is an affirmative sentence rather than a question.

Seeing this, Li Jia knew that he could no longer hide it, so he took out a transparent box from the storage space.

And in the box lay the transparent crystal.

Qi Yan took the box, and at this time Li Jia suddenly asked: "After curing Marshal Huo, what are you going to do?"

Judging from Qi Yan's recent performance, he could clearly feel that the other party was planning something.

As for this discovery, Li Jia had a very bad guess.

However, he then heard the answer he was worried about from Qi Yan's mouth.

"Go back in time and save our people."

After Qi Yan finished speaking, she walked out of the room with the crystal.
