I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

The Huo family's old house is a single-family manor.

There is a large area of ​​shade trees in front of the door, which looks like a green corridor from a distance, wrapping the entire mansion.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, creating mottled light and shadows, like a beautiful painting.

Butler Huo Chuan had been waiting at the door early in the morning. He was dressed neatly and looked meticulous.

The moment he saw Huo Linyuan, the expression on his face softened: "Master, welcome home."

"Yeah." Huo Linyuan nodded and walked into the door.

Huo Chuan followed closely behind, obviously he had already gotten used to Huo Linyuan's cold temperament.

"Your room is ready. Will you stay here for a long time this time?"

Ever since Huo Linyuan joined the military, he seldom returned to his old home, so Huo Chuan asked this question.

"Well, we will temporarily live in the old house for the time being." Huo Linyuan responded and went straight to the second floor.

Hearing this, Huo Chuan's joy was beyond words. He hurriedly said, "Then I'll go prepare some daily necessities."

He was like an empty-nest elderly person who was left behind and suddenly looked forward to his children returning home. He always wanted to take every aspect into consideration, but in fact, how could the huge Huo Mansion lack daily necessities?

Speaking of which, Huo Chuan was originally a subordinate of Huo Linyuan's grandfather. Later, he was seriously injured, resulting in most of his body now having to be supported by mechanical skeletons.

After retiring due to injury, Huo Chuan has been serving as the steward of the Huo family. He has watched Huo Linyuan grow up, and therefore has a deep affection for him.

In the bedroom on the second floor, Huo Linyuan took Qi Yan out of his shirt pocket.

Probably due to her physical condition, Qi Yan was increasingly unwilling to stay in the Xiaocang during this period, and instead liked to stick to Huo Linyuan.

Seeing his depressed look, Huo Linyuan felt heartbroken, but he couldn't find any effective way to relieve the pain.

He touched the eggshell gently, again and again, as if this could make Qi Yan feel better.

Qi Yan woke up in a daze, and as soon as she focused her eyes, she met Huo Linyuan's worried gaze.

He stretched out his mental power to circle Huo Linyuan's hand, as if to comfort him that everything was fine.

But Qi Yan was so sleepy that he felt drowsy before he could say a few words and finally fell into a deep sleep.

In his dream, Qi Yan returned to the sea where he was reborn.

But this time he did not meet Huo Linyuan. The cold sea water made him float up and down, constantly pushing him against the rocks on the shore, and each time it seemed like a fatal collision.

After a while, the scene in the dream began to change. He saw Huo Linyuan holding himself tenderly after he broke out of the shell, saying something.

Qi Yan didn't hear clearly and wanted to ask, but at this moment he suddenly felt a huge suction force pulling him away from his body.

When I looked again, Huo Linyuan was holding a little mermaid, his eyes were affectionate and his thin lips moved slightly.

This time Qi Yan heard clearly what he said: "Yan Yan."

But then Qi Yan realized with horror that the little mermaid was not himself.

At this moment he was like a ghost, unable to be touched by the outside world, and the outside world could not sense him.

No matter how he shouted, Huo Linyuan remained indifferent. He could only watch Huo Linyuan interact with the little mermaid named "Yanyan".

Seeing her name being replaced and the tenderness that originally belonged to her being given to someone else, Qi Yan felt angry and aggrieved.

At this moment, the little mermaid suddenly turned her head and looked at him, smiling sinisterly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

Qi Yan was startled awake, and when she woke up, there was a dense layer of water droplets on the eggshell.

"Yanyan?" Huo Linyuan reached out to wipe away the water droplets, his tone unable to hide his worry.

Perhaps the feeling of panic and helplessness in the dream was too strong, so when Qi Yanfu saw him, he immediately bumped into him subconsciously, with a little accusation and uneasiness.

That mermaid is not me!

Huo Linyuan was quick-witted and held the eggshell firmly the moment he bumped into him: "What's wrong?"

Qi Yan was unable to move in his hands, and consciousness slowly returned. However, because of the dream, she still felt unhappy.

However, when he saw Huo Linyuan's formal attire, which was completely different from usual, the emotions caused by the nightmare immediately turned into panic.

He used his mental power to circle Huo Linyuan's hand, opened the electronic panel and asked, "Where are you going?"

Huo Linyuan gently touched the eggshell and said soothingly, "I'm going to the palace. Can Yanyan wait for me at home?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Yan's emotions immediately became tense. The palace was like a den of dragons and tigers to him.

But he also knew that in his current state, not only would he be unable to help Huo Linyuan, but he would also make him worry about himself.

Finally, Qi Yan reluctantly let him go: "Then be careful."

Huo Linyuan kissed the eggshell and whispered softly: "Wait for me."

Qi Yan refused Huo Linyuan's offer to put him in the Xiaocang, and chose to stay in bed. The smell of Huo Linyuan lingering on the quilt made him feel very safe, and he fell asleep again after a while.

Before leaving, Huo Linyuan upgraded the manor's defense system.

royal palace.

"Your Majesty, Marshal Huo is here." The attendant came to report.

Si Yue was lying on the chair and opened his eyes when he heard the words.

He is now two hundred years old, but time does not seem to have left too many traces on his face. It is undeniable that he has a handsome face.

Led by his attendants, Huo Linyuan walked into the flower hall.

Si Yue sat up from the recliner, his eyes showing no emotion: "I'm back."

"Ah."

Both of them were cold-hearted people, and after the brief question and answer there was a long silence.

Huo Linyuan was not in a hurry. He walked to a chair nearby, sat down, and began to play with the small pendant in his hand.

That was the gift he prepared for Qi Yan, which contained calming flowers. Qi Yan had been in a bad state recently, so he thought of adding some calming things to the Xiaocang.

Seeing that he was in a dull mood, Si Yue's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he finally got to the topic of today.

"I heard that you executed the three great lords of Andromeda."

"Yes."

When dealing with Ye Qin and others, Huo Linyuan did not inform the royal family. From an ordinary person's perspective, this was undoubtedly a provocation to the royal authority.

But Si Yue did not say much, but changed the subject:

"Recently, the power struggles among the four major families have become increasingly intense, especially the Shen family. With the recent problems on the mining planet, I think it's time for the military to intervene."

Huo Linyuan's eyes darkened. He knew very well the other party's intention in mentioning the Shen family at this time.

The Shen family has always been a supporter of the Huo family. Now, internal conflicts have arisen due to the family's power struggle. Si Yue's words are undoubtedly a disguised threat.

He wanted Huo Linyuan to deal with the problem of Mining Star, otherwise he would take action against the Shen family.

Whether it is the rare gold issue or the internal division of power, the Shen family is now in danger. If they are not careful, they may become the target of division by other forces. Behind the Shen family is the Third Army.

"Okay." After saying that, Huo Linyuan stood up and left.

Although he couldn't figure out Si Yue's intention for the time being, he planned to deal with the problem of the mining planet personally even if Si Yue didn't say anything.
