I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

Passing the main hall is the bedroom. Because of the sea earthquake, all the mermaids were temporarily moved to land.

When Bai Heng returned to the room, the little girl was still sleeping.

He walked to the bed, tucked in the corner of the quilt for the little girl, and then sat down.

Since the day Hongqiao brought the person back, little Tuanzi fell into a coma, mumbling in his sleep from time to time and sometimes even crying.

I heard from Hongqiao that she woke up once in the middle of the night, but remembered nothing after waking up.

Bai Heng looked worried as he gently wiped away the tears that had not yet formed from the corners of his eyes.

At this time, the little girl woke up slowly and called out weakly, "Father~"

"Well, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Bai Heng touched his forehead.

The little girl shook her head and rubbed against his arms.

After a moment, he heard his muffled voice: "Father, who is Qi Yan?"

Bai Heng was startled and looked at him seriously: "How do you know this name?"

Xiaotuanzi thought about it seriously and shook his head. He didn’t know either. These two words seemed to appear in his mind suddenly.

"Father, why doesn't Yan'er have a name?"

Since birth, the little dumpling only knew that his name was "Yan'er", but he didn't know his full name.

Others had always called him His Highness, and he had never had any doubts about it.

When asked today, Bai Heng didn't know how to explain it for a moment.

He only said: "You can name it when you grow up."

Little Tuanzi didn't understand and lay in Bai Heng's arms, feeling a little depressed.

Bai Heng stroked his hair, his expression quite serious.

Thinking back to the past, when Xu Yao went back in time, he only found the word "Yan". How did Yan'er know this name?

Could it be...

As if he had thought of something, a hint of shock flashed across Bai Heng's face.

He put his hand behind the little ball's back, a silver light flashed, and suddenly, a golden light burst out from the little ball's body.

The golden light struck Bai Heng directly, bounced his palm away, and then disappeared back into the little ball's body.

Bai Heng was stunned on the spot, his face showing a mixture of surprise and joy, but also a hint of helplessness.

I see……

When he looked at the little dumpling again, his eyes were already filled with tears.

"Father?" The little girl felt the hand that was touching her head stop, and she looked up in confusion.

"Nothing." Bai Heng turned away hurriedly.

When he calmed down a bit, he turned around and looked at the little girl lovingly: "The seabed has been a bit uneasy these days, so you should stay on the shore. I will come to pick you up after I am done with my work these few days."

When the little girl heard this, she immediately knelt up and grabbed his sleeve: "Can't I be with you? I don't want to be separated from you!"

Bai Heng smiled and rubbed his head: "You have to grow up eventually, why do you keep clinging to me?"

But I was thinking in my heart: Even if I don't want you to, you will eventually leave, leave me...

Gui Fang’s words were still ringing in Bai Heng’s ears, and Bai Heng couldn’t help but feel a little lonely in his eyes.

-

In the following days, Bai Heng did not show up, and even Hong Qiao was nowhere to be seen from time to time. However, the situation on the seabed was gradually improving.

This also gave Little Dumpling and Shadow a chance to be alone.

Because he already had an indescribable feeling of closeness to Shadow, he easily became familiar with the other party.

That day he sat on the rocks as usual, looking at the sea, and Shadow sat quietly beside him.

"Actually, I know everything."

"My father wants to send me away."

The little dumpling talked to himself, with sadness in his eyes.

Despite his young age, he now has an inappropriate sense of maturity.

Shadow looked at him silently and reached out to rub his head.

But at this time, the little dumpling turned his head and said seriously: "Is the sea earthquake because of you?"

The breeze blew by, and time seemed to stop at this moment.

Soon he said slowly, "I don't want to leave the Eternal Sea, I don't want to leave my father, can't we coexist peacefully?"

Although these words were light, they hit Shadow's heart like a heavy hammer.

Perhaps the sadness was too strong, the little dumpling reached out his hand and touched the shadow's face.

It was clearly just a cloud of black smoke, but why did it feel like he was crying...

"I'm not trying to drive you away, I just..."

Before he could finish his words, Shadow suddenly hugged him and held him tightly in his arms.

The little girl felt very uncomfortable, so she pursed her lips and obediently let him hold her.

I am sorry.

After a while, a voice sounded in Xiaotuanzi's sea of ​​consciousness, and he stepped back a little in disbelief.

At this time, the shadow's figure began to fade slowly in front of his eyes.

"do not want!"

The little dumpling tried to grab it hastily, but caught nothing.

The moment the black smoke dissipated from his fingertips, he felt like a piece was missing from his heart and it hurt badly.

Little Tuanzi stared blankly at the place where the shadow disappeared. By chance, Hongqiao came over and said, "Your Highness, why are you running around again? The Imperial Master is looking for you. Come back with me."

-

Beneath the polar ice sheet, there is a deep sea abyss, where stone pillars stand in rows, solemn and majestic.

The echoing waves of the sea sound like the ringing of bells, which is breathtaking.

A man stood with his hands behind his back in front of the stone forest.

After a while, another man with fiery hair and a flamboyant appearance came across the water and landed beside him.

"You asked me to come here. Has the time been set?" Gui Fang asked.

As he spoke, Gui Fang glanced at the cold and majestic stone forest, and sighed in his heart more than once that this place was indeed as gloomy as ever for the past ten years.

Bai Heng did not look back. At this moment, he was in human form, with silver hair floating slowly along with the water, making his back look somewhat lonely.

"We succeeded." He said slowly.

Gui Fang didn't take it seriously. He held the back of his head with both hands and said nonchalantly, "Of course it will succeed. You have worked hard for more than ten years, and with the prophecy in hand, how can you fail?"

Bai Heng said nothing. His calm and solemn face seemed to have crushed many stars. He turned to look at Gui Fang and repeated again: "I said, we succeeded."

"I know, so I'm not saying..."

Halfway through his words, Gui Fang suddenly widened his eyes, subconsciously lowered his arms, looked at Bai Heng in astonishment, and said blankly: "What do you mean?"

As if he had already guessed his reaction, Bai Heng said calmly: "Yan'er is back."

Looking at Bai Heng's gentle eyes and brows, Gui Fang was dazed for a moment.

The phrase "Yan'er is back" must not refer to Yan'er who lives under their noses. Could it be that...

"It will be ten thousand years later..." Gui Fang could not hide his surprise.

Bai Heng nodded slightly and smiled with relief: "Yes, I made the right bet in the end."

Gui Fang looked at his smiling face for a long time and couldn't come back to his senses.

He remembered that this was the first time he saw the other person smiling so relaxedly since they met.

It turns out that this calm, wise, and indomitable man like an iceberg can also feel afraid.

Even after more than a decade of hard work and the guidance of the prophecy, even though everything seemed so foolproof, he was still worried and hesitant.

I am worried about Yan'er's future, and I am also worried that I might make a mistake and lose everything.

After all, that was the little boy he had risked half his life to save.

Thinking of this, Guifang raised the corners of his mouth in relief.

He whispered, "That's good."
