I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

Chapter 222 Yearning

Qi Yan couldn't help but sigh, and for a moment she felt trapped in it and unable to extricate herself.

At this time, Huo Linyuan held his hand and whispered, "We will not separate."

Qi Yan turned her head to look at him. After a while, he rested his head on Huo Linyuan's chest and said in a muffled voice, "Even if there are some irresistible factors, you must hold on to me and not let go."

At the same time, he was thinking in his heart, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire, and bushes of thorns, I will cross the mountains and seas, cut through the thorns and come to your side.

Huo Linyuan paused as he raised his hand, then gently placed it on top of his head and said in a low voice, "Okay."

Qi Yan couldn't see that at this moment, Huo Linyuan's eyes were filled with blood, as deep as a pool, as if a devastating storm was brewing.

This possibility, even if just a hypothesis, is taboo to him.

If such a day really comes, he will use all means, even if it means imprisonment, to keep Qi Yan by his side.

After a while, when the two of them calmed down a little, Huo Linyuan opened the passage and planned to take Qi Yan out.

Because the mechanism was triggered, a small metal ball suddenly fell into the room, and then a projected image began to play in the room.

The video seemed to be recorded inadvertently. Huo Xuanshuang was in a room that looked like a laboratory. Judging from her mental state and attire, the time should have been before she returned to Lingxing.

In the image, she was standing sideways, with two stone-like crystals in front of her. One of them was as transparent as crystal, but there was a red line in the center that looked like a crack.

The other piece is so blue that it almost looks black. If it weren't for the slightly lighter blue color at the edges, it would be easy to mistake it for pure black.

Huo Xuanshuang was observing the two stones when a young man appeared in the image and their conversation began to sound.

"You can't go back. That old guy obviously has bad intentions!" said the man.

"The matter has been decided. Besides, things have to be resolved." Huo Xuanshuang said.

Hearing her say this, the man was obviously a little angry: "Are you still unable to forget that scumbag?"

Hearing this, Huo Xuanshuang looked at him helplessly: "Brother... I know my limits."

After hearing this, Qi Yan also understood that this man was Huo Xiu Ze.

In the video, Huo Xiu Ze seemed to want to say something, but Huo Xuan Shuang interrupted him: "Okay, stop, this matter ends here. But after I leave, the mermaid... the ruins..."

At this moment, the image suddenly became blurry and the sound became intermittent.

Qi Yan struggled to hear Huo Xiu Ze say amidst the noise: "Don't worry... leave the matter to me..."

Then the image stopped abruptly.

Qi Yan and Huo Linyuan looked at each other. At this time, the sound of a mechanism being activated was heard on the roof. Then, accompanied by a beam of light, the transparent crystal in the image slowly descended from above.

When the stone was suspended in front of them, Qi Yan suddenly felt a powerful energy, and then he felt dizzy and almost lost his balance.

Huo Linyuan immediately pulled him into his arms, then raised his hand and threw something into the air. The next moment, he saw a layer of faint blue light covering the stone.

After the stone was isolated, Qi Yan finally felt relieved.

Huo Linyuan didn't have time to pay attention to the crystal and immediately began to check his condition nervously.

Qi Yan smiled at him: "I'm fine."

Then he looked at the crystal stone and frowned slightly: "I feel that this stone may be related to mermaids."

Huo Linyuan was thoughtful, put the stone into the space, and then said to Qi Yan: "Let's go home first."

When they came out of the wooden house, the sky was already lit up by a colorful sunset. The layers of red maple forest merged with the sky and the earth, and it was as beautiful as a painting.

Qi Yan was in a good mood for the first time and suggested, "Let's go down the mountain."

Considering that Huo Linyuan almost fainted just now, he was reluctant to agree, but looking at his bright eyes and excited expression, he finally couldn't bear to refuse.

The next moment, he squatted down in front of Qi Yan and said, "The mountain road is difficult to walk on. Come up."

Qi Yan looked at the winding but smooth stone road below, smiled knowingly, and without saying anything, she jumped onto his back and said, "Let's go home!"

Huo Linyuan raised the corner of his mouth lovingly, carried him up on his back, and then slowly walked down the mountain.

"When we are old and can no longer walk, we can build a wooden house by the lake at the foot of the mountain, plant some flowers, raise some fish, and watch the sunset by the lake and feed the fish when we have nothing to do. What do you think?"

Maybe it was influenced by the story of Huo Xuanshuang and Si Yue, but Qi Yan now yearned for this kind of pastoral life of "working at sunrise and resting at sunset".

He felt so happy just imagining that he and Huo Linyuan would be full of wrinkles and gray hair in the future, sitting hand in hand in a rocking chair, watching the sunrise and sunset.

Huo Linyuan also thought of that scene, and raised the corners of his mouth happily: "Okay."

With the response, Qi Yan became excited and chattered all the way. Huo Linyuan listened quietly with a smile on his face, and occasionally interjected a word or two.

When the two of them slowly returned to the old house, Huo Linyuan received a message from Zoe. Due to the urgency of the situation, they returned to the next star overnight.

After sending Qi Yan home, Huo Linyuan went directly to the military headquarters and did not come back for the entire night.

The next day, Qi Yan walked downstairs in a depressed mood.

Seeing that he looked like he was still sleepy, Huo Chuan was worried that he might miss a step, so he quickly put down his breakfast, walked over and pulled him down the stairs.

"My little ancestor, why are you so listless? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want grandpa to ask for leave for you and not go to school today?"

Qi Yan yawned and shook her head: "I'm fine, no need to ask for leave, I just didn't sleep well last night."

Huo Chuan smiled lovingly when he heard this: "Do you miss the young master?"

Then he deliberately put on a stern face and complained: "This young master is really something, how can he run away from work? How can he bear to leave the young master alone in an empty room."

Qi Yan, who was drinking milk, choked suddenly and said in shame and anger: "Butler Grandpa!"

Huo Chuan quickly smiled and helped him straighten his back: "Okay, okay, grandpa won't tease you anymore."

Qi Yan lowered her eyes, as if explaining or talking to herself: "A Yuan, he's been very busy recently..."

Suddenly he raised his head and looked at Huo Chuan with burning eyes: "Grandpa Butler, can you tell me why Aunt Xuanshuang committed suicide?"

Qi Yan always felt that Huo Linyuan was hiding something from him, and apart from the last footage left by Huo Xuanshuang, Qi Yan didn't feel that she was happy about Huo Linyuan's arrival.

Huo Chuan's smile froze on his face: "Master told you everything?"

Qi Yan nodded: "Yes, A Yuan took me to the wooden house."

Huo Chuan sighed deeply: "This is a long story."
