I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

Chapter 108 The Power of Poseidon

Huo Linyuan naturally knew what happened today, and there must be something complicated behind it. If he was not sure that this matter had nothing to do with them, there would not be this conversation at this moment.

He just needed to confirm his guess.

"How do you explain the assassin?" Huo Linyuan asked.

Jun Yan and Li Jia looked at each other, and Li Jia nodded.

Then, Jun Yan said, "I remember asking the Marshal last time why Ali suddenly disappeared in the interstellar space."

"There's another big factor besides people's over-enthusiastic attitude towards mermaids."

"Because after Ali awakened her mermaid genes and regressed, she was kidnapped."

The kidnapping was highly targeted. Although Li Jia's fighting ability was not weak, he was seriously injured in the kidnapping.

As a result, he could no longer transform into a beast after that, and now he can only rely on spiritual spring water for nourishment, so he cannot leave Murogaki Star for a long time.

"Later I found out that this was not an ordinary kidnapping, but a biological research on mermaids."

"The organization that kidnapped Ali is a biological organization. I have been tracking the whereabouts of this organization over the years. In the process, I found that this organization has been studying orcs and mermaids."

"In recent years, orcs have frequently disappeared, and this organization is probably behind them."

"I believe the Marshal is also very familiar with this organization."

"As for this assassin, I suspect he is a discarded member of the former organization."

After a pause, Jun Yan continued, "Ali and I agree that the person behind today's incident is probably targeting Xiao Yan."

After he finished speaking, the three of them fell into a brief silence, and Huo Linyuan clenched his hands tightly under the table.

This conclusion was consistent with his guess that Yanyan's existence attracted attention because of Helka's epidemic.

The enemy behind them is more secretive and terrifying than they imagined, and is always watching their every move.

It is even possible that every planet is covered with their spies.

Jun Yan was the first to break the silence: "During the investigation, I also found something interesting. It seems that there are rebels in every place where strange beasts frequently appear."

"And the current leader of the villain army seems to have a close relationship with the marshal."

"I wonder if the Marshal still remembers these three words, Huo Xiu Ze?"

Jun Yan observed Huo Linyuan's expression, but did not see any surprise or astonishment on his face.

He immediately understood that if he could find out what he had found, Huo Linyuan would definitely be able to find it as well.

"Since the Marshal already knows, I will not elaborate on it. If you need anything in the future, please feel free to ask. Ali, I, and even the entire Cross will do our best."

His words were undoubtedly a clear statement. Regardless of their political stance, at least when it came to protecting Qi Yan, their goal was the same.

Huo Linyuan looked at Li Jia: "What happened to Yanyan today?"

He could clearly feel that Qi Yan's mental state was not right.

Li Jia knew that he was asking the reason for Qi Yan's abnormality, but he didn't know how to say it, or he was not quite sure.

According to his speculation, Qi Yan is most likely of the royal bloodline of the mermaid clan, and has inherited the power of the sea god, but this power has not yet awakened.

Seeing that he was hesitant, Huo Linyuan said coldly: "I will not leave unknown dangers around Yanyan."

If Li Jia didn't understand the mermaid heritage, Huo Linyuan would not let him get close to Qi Yan after what happened today.

Li Jia narrowed his eyes, very dissatisfied with his attitude.

In Li Jia's eyes, it was because of Huo Linyuan's appearance that he missed Qi Yan and missed the opportunity to accompany Qi Yan's growth.

It would be better to say that he was jealous rather than dissatisfied. He was jealous that Huo Linyuan could stand on the side of the guardian openly.

It was obvious that he and Qi Yan had the closest relationship.

But what happened today made Li Jia think a lot. When he suddenly realized that he might also hurt Qi Yan, the jealousy in his heart decreased a lot.

"If my hunch is correct, the baby has inherited the power of the sea god." Li Jia said.

Huo Linyuan frowned, obviously very unfamiliar with the word.

Li Jia continued to explain: "The power of the sea god. Legend has it that only the king of the mermaid tribe has a chance to inherit it. Possessing the power of the sea god can control all living things in the mountains, seas, lakes and rivers, including spiritual plants."

"But the baby's current abilities have not been awakened." Awakening the power of the sea god requires a very complicated ritual, and more importantly, it requires inheritance.

But Qi Yan did not obtain the inheritance, which is why Li Jia was not sure.

Huo Linyuan didn't care whether Qi Yan had strong power or not, he only cared about Qi Yan's body.

"The baby is now in a susceptible period. Mermaids in susceptible periods are sensitive and fragile. And today, in order to help me trap the strange beast, he consumed too much mental energy."

"In addition, witnessing me getting injured may have caused him some distress." When he said this, Li Jia felt a pain in his heart.

During the susceptible period, the emotions of mermaids are often magnified dozens of times. They will be more sensitive and more easily anxious than usual.

If there is severe stimulation at this stage, it may even affect future growth.

Huo Linyuan pursed his lips and spoke after a while: "How should we get through this stage?"

"Give him enough sense of security. The baby needs a stable environment now." Li Jia said.

"I will stay here for a while, but I don't want today's accident to happen again. The military will investigate the assassin's case. Just in case, I will dispatch the Fourth Army's guards to be stationed at the space port." Huo Linyuan said.

Because strictly speaking, Cross is a private territory and the military does not have the right to station troops there.

Although Jun Yan was very confident in Cross's defense, he still did not reject Huo Linyuan's arrangement.

After saying this, Huo Linyuan quickly hung up the video call because he saw Qi Yan shaking restlessly on the bed.

After turning off the soundproof barrier, Huo Linyuan strode to the bedside.

At this time, Qi Yan's face was pale, his brows were furrowed, his hands were clenched into small fists, waving wildly in the air, and his fish tail was also curled up tightly.

Huo Linyuan's heart tightened, and he quickly lay down and held Qi Yan in his arms.

He patted Qi Yan's back and called softly, "Yan Yan, Yan Yan..."

Qi Yan did not respond. At this moment, he was already haunted by a nightmare.

In the dream, Qi Yan stood in a void, surrounded by blood-red, and at the same time, countless black hands grabbed at him...

"A Yuan..." Qi Yan called Huo Linyuan's name unconsciously, and there was even a tone of crying in her voice.

Huo Linyuan didn’t know what he dreamed about, he just felt his heart tighten.

He responded over and over again: "I'm here, I'm here, don't be afraid"

While gently kissing Qi Yan's forehead, eyes and cheeks.

Qi Yan did not wake up, but perhaps because of Huo Linyuan's comfort, he gradually calmed down.

The sun sets and darkness gradually shrouds the window.

In the second half of the night, Qi Yan had a fever again, and this time it was more severe than before.

In the end, Huo Linyuan took Qi Yan to soak in the spiritual spring pool all night. It was not until the morning that Qi Yan's temperature dropped.
