I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

Alaid handed Huo Linyuan a small box of ointment: "Twice a day like before, new scales will grow after applying this."

Huo Linyuan took the ointment, opened the lid, and skillfully applied a little with a cotton swab.

Then he gently lifted Qi Yan's fishtail and carefully applied the ointment to the place where the scales had fallen off before.

Qi Yan looked at his serious expression and felt cherished, so she cooperated obediently throughout the whole process.

After applying it, Huo Linyuan blew gently on the tail.

Qi Yan felt a little itchy when he blew on her. Her little tail shrank and the tips of her ears unconsciously turned red.

"You can eat more spiritual berries these days." As he said that, Alaid took out a green fruit and handed it to Qi Yan.

The fruit is only the size of a walnut, covered with a hard shell, and exudes a sweet aroma.

Lingberry is something similar to coconut. It is small in size and contains milky white liquid. It tastes sweet and has high nutritional value, but its yield is very rare. It is generally used as a tonic for pregnant women and newborns.

Aled handed Qi Yan the drink with a small straw on it, which was just enough for Qi Yan to hold in his hand and drink slowly.

Qi Yan took the fruit and wanted to say thank you, but remembering that she couldn't make a sound yet, she smiled at Alaid.

Aled patted his little head lovingly.

The book said that Aled was a weird, grumpy old man, but for some reason, in the short time they spent together, Qi Yan felt that he was very kind and attentive, just like his grandfather.

Seeing Qi Yan holding the fruit, Alaid turned to Huo Linyuan and said, "Come out with me for a moment."

Huo Linyuan nodded, then touched Qi Yan's head: "Wait for me to come back."

Qi Yan held the fruit and looked at the door eagerly. The originally sweet and delicious juice suddenly lost its fragrance.

Outside.

Alaid handed Huo Linyuan a box with a serious look. The box contained the tears that Qi Yan had shed earlier.

"The test results are out. It contains very pure affinity. In addition, there is an unknown substance." Aled paused. "According to records, when ancient purebred mermaids are in extreme sadness and despair, their tears will turn into ice soul beads."

"It is rumored that the Ice Soul Pearl has a strong healing power."

There is no doubt that Qi Yan is an ancient mermaid, and a purebred mermaid with an extremely high level of mental power.

As an expert in mental power, Alaid knows mermaids better than anyone else, and therefore knows better how huge a storm a purebred mermaid can cause. It can be said that the extinction of mermaids is entirely due to human greed.

"Also, I have tested it and found that no one can directly absorb the energy of the Ice Soul Pearl, but I can dilute the Ice Soul Pearl and make it into a potion."

Huo Linyuan looked at the beads in his hand and recalled the scene of that day.

"What are you going to do? You should know what mermaids mean to the entire galaxy?" Aled's voice was a little low.

"Yanyan is not an experimental subject." Huo Linyuan said coldly.

Aled was stunned when he heard this, and then he felt like he was about to laugh out of anger. No wonder he had been hiding the matter of the mermaid eggs from him. Was he such a cold-blooded person in his eyes?

Not to mention that it was impossible for Alaid to use Qi Yan for experiments. Even though mermaids were precious and crucial for humans to repair mental damage, there was only one mermaid. What could that change?

What’s more, there have been no mermaids in the interstellar space for tens of thousands of years, and humans have also continued to exist.

What he wanted to remind Huo Linyuan was human greed. How tempting was the only mermaid in the entire galaxy that could heal mental damage to humans?

Even if you are the Grand Marshal of the Empire, can you make enemies with the entire galaxy? Can you ensure that you can protect him without any harm?

It is never reasonable to sacrifice the interests of a few for the interests of the majority. However, even if we know that this is wrong, when we or our families are in great danger and their lives are in danger, what will human nature choose?

By then, even if you are the Imperial Marshal, can you withstand the pressure from the entire galaxy?

"The outside world will eventually know that he is a mermaid. You can't hide him forever." Aled said coldly.

"I won't let anyone hurt him." Like a promise or an oath, Huo Linyuan didn't want to continue this topic, so he turned around and went back to the room.

Aled looked at his back and sighed slightly.

Qi Yan rested his chin on the spiritual berries, his little tail wagging boredly. When he saw Huo Linyuan appear at the door, his eyes brightened up noticeably.

Huo Linyuan took two steps at a time, walked to his side, and showed him the tears in the box.

Tears? Qi Yan picked up one and looked at it.

It is said that mermaids' tears will turn into pearls, but mine don't seem to be pearls. However, they are still very beautiful because they are crystal clear.

Then, Huo Linyuan closed the box and put it into the space.

Qi Yan didn't understand why collecting such things always made people feel embarrassed.

But he couldn't ask now, and Huo Linyuan didn't intend to tell him the effect of the Ice Soul Pearl.

Because Qi Yan has hatched now, the hatching settings of the Xiaocang are no longer suitable, so Huo Linyuan modified the Xiaocang again.

Qi Yan held her face in her hands, lying on the small platform at the edge of the water tank, watching him operate quietly.

-

While they were immersed in the warmth, a violent storm had already set off on StarNet.

"I heard that Marshal Huo's mental power went haywire and he accidentally killed Ms. Della, the daughter of Administrator Brian."

"You know what? I heard that Della sneaked into the Marshal's house to steal information, was discovered, and was executed by the Marshal. I heard that the body was directly delivered to the administrator by the Seventh Army."

"Sending a twenty-year-old girl to steal intelligence is unlikely, right?"

"Isn't it rumored that Miss Della likes the Marshal? Maybe she pestered the Marshal too much, so..."

"You're killing people just because of this? So what if you're a marshal? So what if you're the light of the empire? Just because you're a hero, you can kill people without any regard for the lives of people like us?"

"Don't make a big deal out of it, the official news hasn't come out yet, so don't put the blame on others."

"No matter what the reason is, it is wrong to lynch him without trial. He is not worthy of being our marshal."

"That's right, what do you mean by official news? They can make up whatever they want. I just don't believe that a little girl could do such a heinous thing. No matter how heinous it is, she should be brought to court for trial!"

"I agree. It's really hard to stand as marshal this time."

"As a woman, I want to say that there is nothing wrong with liking someone, but what kind of man is it to wantonly kill someone who loves you just because you don't like him? You are worse than a beast. From today on, Huo Linyuan is no longer my idol."

"Whether it's love or not, who cares? Stop pulling the female compatriots upstairs. You look like a drama queen, just like a resentful woman who can't get any favor."

"+1, we all believe in Marshal Huo's character. If Marshal Huo hadn't defeated the monster tide with his own strength, would you still be keyboard warriors on the Internet now?"

"No comment will be made until official news comes out."

……

Because the incident that day was so serious that it could no longer be concealed, Wen Yi directly had Della's body returned to Brian.

On the one hand, it is a warning, and on the other hand, it is a way to divert the focus of public opinion.

After a few days of fermentation, the comments on the Della incident on Starnet have become polarized.
