I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

Huo Linyuan paused as he stroked his hair and looked at him seriously: "Of course not."

He thought to himself, how could I bear to do that?

"Then why are you asking? I don't want any parents. I have you, Grandpa Aled, and everyone. That's enough."

Seeing his resistance, Huo Linyuan did not continue the topic.

Huo Linyuan knew very well that as long as he said he didn't want to, his Yanyan would immediately give up everything.

But he couldn't help but consider Qi Yan's future.

In fact, Jun Yan was right. Yanyan needed an identity, and Uranus Riga was undoubtedly the best choice.

-

The next day, when Qi Yan woke up, Huo Linyuan was communicating with Wen Yi.

"Well, let's arrange it this way first. Notify Ling Qing that it's time to close the net."

After Huo Linyuan finished speaking, he hung up the phone, walked to the bed, and began to help Qi Yan change clothes.

"How are Brother Wen and the others?"

"Hill has built the repulsion field. The Mo Cang has now left the undercurrent. Wen Yi took Aled to the mining planet to deal with the epidemic."

"What about us?" Qi Yan raised his arms to make it easier for Huo Linyuan to put on his sleeves.

"Didn't Yanyan say she liked it here? Let's stay here for a while, and wait for Wen Yi to deal with the problem of the mining planet and come pick us up."

Huo Linyuan fastened his clothes and then helped him tidy up his hair.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yan looked at him with a little surprise.

After washing up, Huo Linyuan brought Qi Yan to the pool they had been to yesterday.

This pool was actually specially prepared by Jun Yan for Qi Yan. The spring water in it is a natural spring brought from the back mountain.

The reason why Li Jia chose to settle on this planet was because of the natural spiritual springs here.

After putting Qi Yan into the pool, Huo Linyuan took some fruits and placed them on the stone platform in the water.

"I still have something to discuss with Jun Yan. Can Yan Yan be here alone?"

Qi Yan nodded: "I can take care of myself, you go now."

"If you're bored, you can go play in the virtual world for a while, but not for too long."

"I know. Why have you become so nagging?" Qi Yan was afraid that he would worry, so she pretended to be impatient.

Huo Linyuan didn't say anything, but just nodded his head lovingly: "You have no conscience."

Qi Yan made a face at him.

After Huo Linyuan left, Qi Yan started to feel a little bored after eating and drinking.

At this time, Li Jia came over.

Li Jia first saw the remaining fruits on the stone table, frowned in disgust, and then asked the maid to bring the best and freshest rare fruits from Murogami Star.

He squatted on the shore like he did yesterday, trying to get close to Qi Yan.

However, this time Qi Yan was a little defensive.

Qi Yan knew that Huo Linyuan would not mention those issues for no reason, and then she thought about the fact that the person in front of her had very similar genes to herself.

In addition, he said that he was the closest person to him and was extremely attentive to him.

All these behaviors allowed Qi Yan to vaguely guess something.

Li Jia saw his rejection and felt a little sad.

She lowered her eyes sadly: "Does the baby hate me?"

Qi Yan sensed his emotions and felt a little bit sorry for him.

After all, the other party simply wanted to be close to her, and Qi Yan could feel that he really wanted to be nice to her, but was afraid of scaring her.

This kind of cautious mentality can only be found towards people you care about very much.

"No, I'm not annoying. My name is Qi Yan." Qi Yan explained awkwardly.

In fact, he is very good at accepting kindness from strangers.

Even though Qi Yan's attitude was not very warm, his words still made Li Jia's eyes light up.

"It's a very nice name." Li Jia praised sincerely.

He looked so beautiful when he smiled, and it seemed that even the flowers around him came more lively.

Such sincere praise made Qi Yan's ears blush, and he said "hmm" softly.

Li Jia was very happy with Qi Yan's reaction, but he also knew that if he wanted Qi Yan to accept him from the bottom of her heart, he had to proceed step by step.

So he pointed at the water and asked, "Can I come in and take a dip with you?"

Qi Yan nodded, thinking that of course she could, strictly speaking, she was the guest.

Li Jia took off his shoes and walked directly into the water. The water in the pool was not deep, only up to his thighs.

Only then did Qi Yan realize that the clothes he was wearing today were made of shark silk, just like her own.

Li Jia sat down by the shore, then stretched out his hand to Qi Yan: "Baby, can you come over and talk to me?"

Qi Yan swam closer.

Li Jia looked at the distance of one person between them. Although he was not very satisfied, he knew that he should not be too impatient.

"Baby, do you like the spiritual spring water? This kind of water will make your tail very relaxed. There is a bigger pool in the back mountain. Can I take you there some other day?"

Looking at his sincere eyes, Qi Yan couldn't bear to refuse, so she nodded.

Then, Qi Yan's gaze involuntarily fell on his legs.

Li Jia saw the envy in his eyes and her heart melted. The baby was so big but he still didn't know how to turn his fish tail into legs.

In his mind, he immediately imagined Qi Yan being at a loss as to what to do when faced with common sense in life that no one taught her.

At this moment, he had serious doubts about Huo Linyuan's ability to take care of the mermaid, and at the same time he deepened his determination to snatch Qi Yan away.

But how could he know that Qi Yan didn't even know that a mermaid's tail could turn into legs.

"Baby, do you want to turn your tail into legs?"

Qi Yan looked up at him and said, "I want to, but I'm a mermaid and I can't grow legs."

Li Jia was stunned for a moment before realizing that he had no idea that a fish tail could turn into legs.

A nameless anger rushed to Li Jia's chest, but he suppressed it in order not to scare Qi Yan.

He looked at Qi Yan tenderly and explained, "After a mermaid hatches, she can freely transform her tail into legs, so the baby can do the same."

Eh? Qi Yan looked at him incredulously: "Really?"

Li Jia nodded affirmatively. Seeing Qi Yan's happy expression, he waved to Qi Yan and took the opportunity to close the distance between them.

"Baby, has your tail never turned into legs?" Li Jia asked.

Qi Yan shook her head: "Maybe it's because I broke out of my shell early. Do you know how to turn a tail into legs?"

Without Xiaocanghao by her side, Qi Yan realized how inconvenient it was to be without legs.

Li Jia was shocked, but he concealed it very well. He first comforted Qi Yan: "Of course."

Then he calmly asked about the shell breaking: "But why did the baby break out of the shell early?"

Qi Yan felt that there was nothing that could not be said, so he briefly described the situation at that time.

After hearing this, Li Jia's eyes flashed with rage.

No wonder the baby didn’t get the inheritance, no wonder he didn’t know that the fish tail can turn into legs, no wonder he still can’t control the fish tail independently!

Li Jia was so angry that his hands were shaking.

Qi Yan keenly noticed that he was angry for her, so she swam forward with concern and gently pulled his arm:

"I'm fine, and Grandpa Aled also said that it won't have any effect on my body."

Qi Yan didn't know the importance of the mermaid heritage, but Li Jia knew it very well.

Mermaids who have lost their inheritance will not be able to cope with various crises during their growth process, such as what to do if they get sick, what to do if their scales shed, or even every growth period and estrus period.

The growth process of mermaids is completely different from that of humans and orcs. Although adult mermaids are powerful, every stage of their growth is fraught with danger.

Li Jia couldn't imagine how Qi Yan had gone through each stage of growth before.

He touched Qi Yan's cheek distressedly: "Can I be the baby's father?"
