I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

After seeing Garcia off, when Huo Linyuan returned to the room, Qi Yan had already fallen asleep.

He walked over quietly, put his hands on the pillow, leaned over and kissed Qi Yan's forehead.

Qi Yan seemed to sense something in her sleep, and waved her hands randomly, mumbling incoherently: "Don't touch me, I haven't forgiven you yet..."

After saying that, he turned over and continued to sleep.

Huo Linyuan chuckled and lowered his head to kiss the corner of his mouth: "Good night."

Then he got up and went to the bathroom. When he came out of the bathroom, lifted a corner of the quilt and lay down on the bed, Qi Yan, who had righteously shouted that he was not allowed to be touched even in his dreams, actually leaned over to him honestly.

Qi Yan hugged Huo Linyuan like a koala, then found a comfortable position and lay there motionless.

His pajamas were loose to begin with, and with this movement, the collar opened wide, and large purple marks could be seen along his neck.

Huo Linyuan reached out and took a box of ointment from the bedside, and began to carefully apply the ointment to his "masterpiece".

Qi Yan has fair skin, so the slightest bumps and bruises will be particularly noticeable. Huo Linyuan looked at the purple marks with a dark look in his eyes.

He had long known that giving Qi Yan freedom would also mean that many uncontrollable accidents and dangers might occur.

He had thought more than once about completely enclosing Qi Yan in the protection circle he had set up.

But every time I see Qi Yan thinking seriously, I can't bear to do it.

His Yanyan should be a bird flying freely in the sky, not a canary in his cage.

No one understood Qi Yan's desire to share the joys and sorrows with him better than Huo Linyuan.

Since we can't stop him from getting into danger, let him remember that in his eyes, nothing in the world is as important as his safety.

"You little rascal, you are so brave that you go to meet Si Mingyu alone." Shen Yi rubbed Qi Yan's head with a smile.

Qi Yan angrily dodged his hand, pulled her hair, and corrected him, "It's not 'going to meet', it's an encounter. Also, I'm Qi Yan now, not little bad boy!"

At this moment, Qi Yan finally realized the helplessness of "even pigs have taught it, but you can't do it."

He didn't know how many times he had emphasized it, but Shen Yi just couldn't change his tone and still called him "Dandan" left and "little bad boy" right.

Seeing his wrinkled face, Shen Yi couldn't help but joked, "What's wrong? You can hang an oil bottle on your mouth. Did the boss punish you?"

"I told you, it's boring to follow a big ice cube like the boss. Next time you have a problem, just come to me, your brother Xiaoyi. With me here, even if you poke the sky down, I will support you."

Qi Yan looked at him, her eyes filled with three parts of disbelief and seven parts of suspicion.

"Coming from a man who was just punished to copy the Officers' Code of Conduct thirteen times, these words are totally unbelievable." Qi Yan curled her lips.

"You heartless little rascal, I'm just comforting you now." Shen Yi said as he was about to rub his head again, but Qi Yan dodged him swiftly.

After dodging, Qi Yan wrinkled her nose smugly and made a face at him.

Of course Qi Yan knew that he meant for her not to take the risk alone, although she did feel a little touched in her heart.

But based on his past experience, even if he was touched, he must never let Shen Yi know, otherwise it would definitely trigger the strange Pandora's box.

While the two were playing, Jun Yan and Li Jia walked in.

"Baby."

Qi Yan turned around when she heard the voice, and was surprised when she saw Li Jia and Jun Yan, then she ran over happily.

He first happily called Li Jia "Daddy", then looked at Jun Yan and called him obediently, "Father."

Jun Yan smiled and rubbed his head: "Yeah, he's grown a little taller."

"Really?" Qi Yan was very happy to hear this, because what he was most dissatisfied with was his height.

Just like all parents who meet their children after a long separation, the three of them were so happy and seemed to have endless things to talk about.

This scene made Shen Yi jealous. You know, Qi Yan was his treasure when he was still an egg.

As a result, in Qi Yan's heart, he was not as good as these two godfathers who joined the profession halfway.

Heartless scumbag! Shen Yi thought bitterly in his heart like a resentful woman, but even if he was a scumbag, he still treasured him very much.

When Shen Yi was immersed in the resentment of "missing the whole world", Qi Yan and the other two were already looking at him in unison.

"I guess this must be the famous Shen Yi, Major General Shen?" Li Jia spoke first, his tone full of scrutiny.

Shen Yi is a smart guy. Although he doesn't like intrigue, no one can match him when it comes to making jokes.

He immediately smiled and said, "No, no, it's me. Prince Lijia is indeed as handsome as the rumors say."

Upon hearing this, Jun Yan calmly put his arm around Li Jia's shoulders as if to assert his sovereignty, and retorted, "Seeing you today, General Shen Yi is indeed as unrestrained as the rumors say."

The three of them fought back and forth, neither of them giving in. Qi Yan looked at the inexplicable smell of gunpowder in the air and felt overwhelmed.

He secretly winked at Shen Yi and pulled Li Jia's sleeve.

Just when Qi Yan was worried that the situation would become awkward, the three of them burst into laughter, leaving Qi Yan confused.

Li Jia touched his hair and said, "Daddy has come back from a long journey, don't you want to let him sit for a while?"

Although Qi Yan didn't understand what was going on, she understood from Li Jia's words that they were not really confronting Shen Yi, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Huo Linyuan and Wen Yi arrived at the villa one step later than Li Jia and the others, inside the aircraft.

"Are you saying that the batch of new mechas we encountered before were all made by Huo Bo...Huo Xiu Ze?" Wen Yi suddenly changed his mind halfway through his words.

"Well, I have sent Hill to escort Garcia to Langhuan 3. Next, you can make arrangements and notify Esek to let Garcia join the research on the Dark Flow Nebula."

Compared to Wen Yi's shock, Huo Linyuan was much calmer.

However, his arrangement made Wen Yi keenly smell something unusual: "Do you suspect that the artificial undercurrent was also created by Huo Xiu Ze?"

No one in the world knows Huo Xiu Ze's manufacturing rules better than Garcia, so let Garcia, who is proficient in mecha manufacturing, study the undercurrent.

Then there is only one possibility: the artificial undercurrent is related to Huo Xiu Ze.

However, Wen Yi immediately raised a question: "But the results of the previous investigation showed that the owner of this batch of new mechas is the royal family. The rebels have always been at odds with the royal family. How could they cooperate?"

"You can't just look at the surface of things. In this relationship, you have overlooked the most important link." Huo Linyuan pointed out.

Wen Yi was puzzled, but then he suddenly opened his eyes wide: "The mastermind behind this!"
