I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

Qi Yan frowned, that face looked very familiar to him.

He couldn't help but look up, and what came into his eyes was Huo Linyuan's firm and graceful jawline.

Qi Yan was suddenly startled, and then she realized where that familiar feeling came from.

It turned out that the emperor's face was somewhat similar to Huo Linyuan's, but in comparison, Huo Linyuan's was more exquisite and impeccable.

What's going on? The book never mentions any blood relationship between Huo Linyuan and Si Yue, but why would two unrelated people look so similar?

Qi Yan looked at Si Yue carefully again, but after a closer look, he felt that they were not that similar. They were only somewhat similar in their eyebrows and eyes, and their temperaments were completely different.

The first impression Si Yue gave Qi Yan was that he was cold-blooded and ruthless. If Huo Linyuan's coldness was a breeze on the top of a snowy mountain, it was clear and clean, and contained the vitality of the melting ice and snow.

Then Si Yue’s coldness is like the abyss of hell, entangled in blood.

I don’t know if it was due to the influence of the original text or my intuition, but Qi Yan almost had an instinctive aversion to Si Yue.

Facing Si Yue's sarcasm, Huo Linyuan was indifferent: "You deliberately held a celebration party for me. As the protagonist, how can I be absent?"

Si Yue frowned. It seemed like the two of them were born with incompatible auras. Staying together for a moment longer seemed like a torture to him.

"In that case, the banquet speech will be left to you."

After saying that, Si Yue took the young man and left without looking back.

After leaving the venue, Si Yue asked the man beside him: "How is it? Did you find any abnormality in mental power?"

The young man had a faint smile on his face. Hearing this, his expression remained unchanged, but his eyes were slightly meaningful. He replied: "It's hard to say. From my perception alone, there is nothing unusual, but..."

He paused, raised the corner of his lips playfully, "It is also possible that a shielding device was used."

After the emperor left, Huo Linyuan handed over the remaining social matters to Wen Yi, and then left the palace with Qi Yan.

He had originally come just to show his face, and now that his purpose had been achieved, there was no need for him to stay any longer.

In fact, Huo Linyuan almost never attended such gatherings. Being able to come this time was already a great honor. On the other hand, he also wanted to see what the emperor was up to.

The time came two days later.

Because of the previous post, the attention on mental damage on Starnet has been unprecedentedly high recently.

More and more people suffering from mental torture came out to speak out. For a time, voices speaking for the injured were heard one after another, which greatly aroused the sympathy of the public.

Qi Yan looked at Huo Linyuan who was carefully applying the medicine to him and couldn't help asking, "Do many people have mental damage?"

Because the book did not describe the situations of other mental patients in detail, Qi Yan was somewhat surprised to see the overwhelming voices of the injured on the Internet.

In fact, minor mental damage can be completely cured by mental potions in the early stages, which is why pharmacists have a high status in the interstellar space.

However, the more severe the damage and the longer the damage lasts, the lower the chance of repair.

However, severe mental damage is not common in real life, and there is no one like Huo Linyuan. Or to be more precise, almost no one can survive with severe mental damage.

"Mech warriors and soldiers are more likely to suffer mental damage during combat. Ordinary damage can be cured with ordinary mental potions."

"But if the repair agent is not injected at the optimal time, the damage will be aggravated and the final healing time will be prolonged accordingly."

Huo Linyuan carefully examined the wound and found that a thin layer of scales had grown on it. It should take no time for it to heal completely.

Qi Yan felt itchy and reached out to scratch it, but Huo Linyuan quickly stopped her: "Be patient and listen to me."

Due to the special physique of the mermaid, the repair device is unable to directly repair Qi Yan's wounds, and he can only rely on his own self-healing ability.

And because Qi Yan was forced to break out of her shell, her constitution was weak and her healing speed was slower.

The wound was itchy but he couldn't scratch it, which made Qi Yan's face wrinkled like a bun. But he also knew that Huo Linyuan was doing it for his own good, so he diverted his attention and continued the previous topic.

"But I saw on Starnet that many people have suffered from mental damage for many years. Are ordinary mental potions also scarce?"

The book only said that high-level mental power potions were very precious, but it did not mention that ordinary mental power potions were also in short supply.

According to the comments on Starnet, most people who have suffered mental damage for many years did not receive timely injections of mental repair agents in the early stages.

"Because many unscrupulous merchants will dilute the mental power potion before selling it, which results in many people being unable to inject a sufficient dose of the repair agent at the best time."

"Even though the psychic potions in the interstellar hospital are legitimate, the daily supply is limited and competition is fierce, so many people who can't wait will choose to buy them from the black market or vendors."

"Although refining ordinary spiritual power potions is much easier than refining advanced spiritual power potions, it still cannot be mass-produced because it requires pure manual refining."

So that's how it is. Qi Yan showed a regretful expression. Knowing what he was thinking, Huo Linyuan touched his head.

His face is very kind...

Such a kind-hearted Yanyan needs his protection even more, and Huo Linyuan's desire to hide Qi Yan becomes stronger and stronger.

Just then Alaid walked in. He came to check Qi Yan's body as usual.

"Grandpa Alaid!" Qi Yan greeted happily.

These days, every time Alaid came, he would bring all kinds of good things for Qi Yan, sometimes they were precious fruits, and sometimes they were children's toys.

Although Qi Yan is no longer a child, it does not prevent him from feeling Alaid's care from these details, so he naturally became close to Alaid.

"Well, Yanyan, are you ready?" Alaid took out the testing equipment and spoke in a coaxing voice.

Qi Yan nodded, then naturally stretched out his hands and let Huo Linyuan carry him to the testing table.

After the routine check, Aled touched Qi Yan's head.

"Recovering well."

Qi Yan wagged his tail happily.

After the examination, Aled left. At this time, Huo Linyuan touched Qi Yan's cheek and said apologetically: "I have to go out for a while. Can I let Wen Yi accompany you?"

Hearing this, Qi Yan's ears perked up and she immediately hugged his hand: "Can't you take me with you?"

During this period of time, Huo Linyuan didn't even avoid him when working. Now that he said that, it must be inconvenient.

At this time, Qi Yan suddenly realized that everyone should have private space, and wondered if she was too clinging to Huo Linyuan.

Thinking of this, he let go of Huo Linyuan's hand: "I understand."

Seeing Qi Yan's lost look, Huo Linyuan felt a little soft-hearted and couldn't help pinching his cheek: "I will be back soon."

Qi Yan's ears turned red, she pushed his hand away and argued, "I'm not a kid who can't leave my mother."

Seeing his cute and awkward appearance, Huo Linyuan held back his smile and said, "Yes, my Yanyan is a little adult."

Feeling that he was being teased, Qi Yan got angry and simply dived into the water.
