I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

"A Yuan!" Qi Yan wagged his tail happily.

"Bored?" Huo Linyuan touched his hair.

Qi Yan shook her head: "Xi'er and I are teaching Chouchou. Chouchou is very smart."

As he said this, he glanced at Chou Chou.

But Chouchou was very disrespectful. After sensing Huo Linyuan's breath, the little vine shrank back into the soil. If you looked closely, you could see that the leaves were still shaking slightly.

Qi Yan: ...

Huo Linyuan didn't care. After chatting with Qi Yan for a while, he looked at Xi Er and asked, "Where is the thing?"

"Put it in the engine room for now," said Hill.

Then the group followed Hill to the engine room.

When they were on the road, Qi Yan realized that they were talking about relics. The original text did not mention what the relics were specifically, but the royal family used this name to design a conspiracy against Huo Linyuan.

Now because of Qi Yan's appearance, this story line has completely changed, so Qi Yan didn't know what Huo Linyuan's grandfather left him until he heard Huo Linyuan talk about it just now.

It turned out that after Marshal Huo and the group of strange beasts died together on a desolate planet that day, a large amount of poisonous gas gathered on the planet, causing acid rain to fall on the planet for three consecutive years.

It took the soldiers a long time to find the old marshal's remains. By then, the body had turned into bones and could only be identified by the medals on his combat uniform.

According to interstellar law, a grand farewell ceremony must be held on the star system when an imperial marshal passes away.

At that time, Huo Linyuan was in a remote galaxy exterminating alien beasts, so the farewell ceremony was presided over by the royal family.

When Huo Linyuan came back, he found that the storage space and terminal were missing from his grandfather's belongings.

The royal family explained that it was lost, and cleverly evaded responsibility by claiming to have made great efforts to search for it.

Until recently, the royal family suddenly said that they had found the lost storage space, and used this as an excuse to ask Huo Linyuan to return to the main planet to claim it.

But they didn't know that the real storage space had already returned to Huo Linyuan.

After they walked into the engine room, Hill took out the things he had retrieved from Neon.

The first is an oval block of pure black metal. The long axis of the metal is about one meter long, and the surface is uneven and full of edges and corners.

Just now, Qi Yan had learned from Huo Linyuan that this was called meteorite iron, a raw material for making mechas.

Adding meteorite iron can make the shell of the mecha indestructible. Low-grade meteorite iron is very common, but high-grade meteorite iron is hard to come by.

And pure black, top-quality meteorite iron like this is extremely rare.

The other piece was a transparent diamond-shaped crystal, not much bigger than the palm of a hand.

This crystal has been polished to a very smooth surface, with a clear surface that looks similar to the texture of diamond.

I heard from Huo Linyuan that this is called white crystal stone.

The reason why the two relics are stored on Neon Star is because of this white crystal.

When Huo Guang first obtained this stone, it was not completely stable and was full of impurities.

The only way to remove impurities and stabilize the ingredients inside is to soak it in Neon's natural underground rock bath.

As for the white crystal stone, it is actually also a material for making mechas. The heart of the second legendary mecha that appears at the end of the article is made of it.

Huo Linyuan put the two things into the storage space, but Qi Yan found that his mood seemed a little wrong.

Thinking that he was reminded of someone by the sight of the object, Qi Yan silently used her mental power to circle his hand.

Since hatching, Qi Yan has rarely expressed intimacy in this way.

Feeling Qi Yan's concern, Huo Linyuan smiled at him.

It was mentioned in the original text that although Huo Guang was very strict with Huo Linyuan, he actually always felt that he owed this grandson.

So, knowing that Huo Linyuan likes to make mechas, he went to great lengths to find extremely scarce raw materials for mechas.

Unfortunately, he never gave these two things away personally until his death.

-

At night, Qi Yan and Huo Linyuan were lying on the bed.

Because Huo Linyuan was in a bad mood in the afternoon, Qi Yan was thinking about saying something to comfort him.

But Huo Linyuan spoke first, but what he said was completely unrelated.

He placed his arm next to Qi Yan and said, "Yan Yan has grown up again."

Qi Yan was originally lying on the quilt with her tail up, but when she heard him say that, she put her tail down and turned her head to look at Huo Linyuan's arm.

This was a measurement method that Qi Yan had thought of by chance before. When he took a look, he realized that he was now as long as Huo Linyuan's forearm.

No wonder he felt that the water tank on the Kokura was a bit small recently.

Although Qi Yan knew that she had grown taller recently, she didn't expect it to be so fast.

He looked at Huo Linyuan in surprise: "Really, does this mean that I will grow up soon?"

Huo Linyuan's eyes darkened, but Qi Yan, who was immersed in joy, didn't notice it at all.

I only heard him say: "Yanyan, do you want to grow up quickly?"

"Yes." This is certain, because as he grows up, his mental power will become more stable and stronger, and then he will be able to help Huo Linyuan make repair agents.

Huo Linyuan looked at his happy expression and patted his head: "Go to sleep. Only if you go to bed on time will you grow faster."

After Qi Yan fell asleep, Huo Linyuan couldn't sleep for a long time.

And in the middle of the night, Qi Yan suddenly turned into a human form again.

This was the second time Qi Yan transformed into a human. Compared to the first time, Huo Linyuan was obviously much calmer this time.

He skillfully wrapped Qi Yan in a quilt, and then held her and the quilt in his arms.

But the look he gave Qi Yan at this moment was obscure and unclear.

Ever since he knew that Qi Yan could transform into a human, Huo Linyuan had thought a lot.

Before, he had always kept Qi Yan in his circle because Qi Yan needed his protection.

But Qi Yan will eventually grow up, and when she grows up, she will have her own life.

Although Huo Linyuan had never thought of imprisoning Qi Yan from the beginning to the end, he still felt a little disappointed.

He knew very well that Qi Yan's freedom could not be restricted in the name of protection.

But as long as he thought that when Qi Yan grew up, his world would no longer be just him, he would make many friends, have someone he liked, and even get married and have children...

Huo Linyuan couldn't help but feel irritated. He felt suffocated just thinking about it.

But what really frightened him was not just these, he was even more afraid that he would hurt Qi Yan invisibly.

His Yanyan is so sensitive and considerate.

In Huo Linyuan's eyes, Qi Yan is a blank sheet of paper, a symbol of beauty.

He couldn't imagine what he would do if Qi Yan left him one day.

Huo Linyuan subconsciously hugged Qi Yan tightly, and bloodshot eyes gradually appeared.

Qi Yan seemed to sense something in her sleep, frowning and moving uneasily: "A Yuan..."

Huo Linyuan touched his head, and with his other hand gently patted his back, coaxing him, "Go to sleep."

It seemed that his comfort worked, and Qi Yan soon calmed down.

At this time, Huo Linyuan opened the terminal. After recording Qi Yan's growth data as usual, he contacted a mysterious ID.
