I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

Chapter 275 Who am I?

Inside the observation room.

"Tell me the truth, Yanyan's condition is not as simple as just hibernation, right?" Alaid asked with a serious expression.

Li Jia frowned but did not answer.

At this time, Aled continued, "I checked Yanyan's physical condition. The hormones in her body are abnormally active, far exceeding the normal level, but her growth data has shown signs of stagnation."

"This is obviously not a simple self-protection due to energy exhaustion. I need you to tell me the truth!"

Alaid's eyes were sharp and he seemed a little irritable.

Because Qi Yan did not break out of his shell naturally, his growth cycle was affected, but before that, Alade was able to calculate his growth stage.

But now he was completely unable to detect Qi Yan's growth data, as if a flowing river suddenly stopped.

Now Qi Yan's body is like a tangled mess and also like a blank piece of paper, all the data is messy.

Li Jia suppressed the corners of his mouth and slowly walked to the porthole.

Looking at the endless darkness outside, he said quietly, "Mermaids will undergo a transformation when they reach adulthood, and as royals, they must pass the Divine Hidden Trial to awaken their powers."

"But Yanyan has only been born for less than a year." Alaid said in surprise.

"That's right." Li Jia lowered his eyes, "The mastermind behind this is trying to force the baby to awaken, so as to use the supreme power of the mermaids to destroy the space barrier and open the space-time channel."

When he said this, Li Jia couldn't help but clenched his fists, and his eyes became extremely cold.

If Sang Mo had not died yet, he would have experienced what it means to be living a life worse than death. It would have been a blessing for him to die like that.

"So, Yanyan's current situation is..."

Aled couldn't find the right words to describe it. It was like forcing a newborn baby to bear a burden that was beyond its body's endurance.

Not only will the body be overloaded, it may even cause irreversible damage.

Li Jia lowered his eyes and said, "Back then, the Right Priest Bai Heng mobilized the entire clan to open the seal and gathered all the energy into the two crystal stones to support the operation of the magic circle."

"If the sealing formation is not accidentally damaged, after the baby hatches, the energy in the crystal will assist him in his future growth and awakening."

As he spoke, Li Jia's voice became lower and lower, and finally he couldn't help but stop.

The energy in the crystal was like the nutrients that nourished Qi Yan, which should have been absorbed slowly. However, now, something that would take decades or even hundreds of years to absorb was injected into the body all at once.

So how could it be possible that there was no impact at all? Qi Yan had already lost his inheritance due to breaking out of his shell prematurely, and he did not accept the blessing from the mermaid after breaking out of his shell.

Now forced to awaken in larval form, Li Jia searched through all the documents of the mermaid tribe, but could not find any records similar to Qi Yan's current situation.

But he discovered another problem.

When mermaids are weak or dormant, they will usually subconsciously maintain their mermaid form because this will be more conducive to recovery.

However, Qi Yan maintained his human form after falling into a coma, which meant that his body was automatically avoiding him, or that he could not bear the mermaid form.

What made Li Jia feel even more worried was that the Qi Yan that Huo Linyuan had seen before had already reached adulthood in mermaid form. If his awakening had been complete, then when he transformed into a human form, his appearance should also have changed.

But now Qi Yan still looks like a teenager.

For this situation, Li Jia could only think of two possibilities. One was that the awakening was not complete, and the other was that forced awakening caused growth stagnation.

This means that Qi Yan may remain in this state and will not be able to grow up.

Li Jia had not expressed these concerns before, partly because Qi Yan had not woken up yet and he could not be sure.

More importantly, he knew very well that if Huo Linyuan knew about this, he would definitely go crazy.

Retracting his thoughts, Li Jia turned around and continued: "In short, the power of the two crystals is the same as that of the baby, and will not cause any harm to the body. As for..."

Just when he was halfway through his words, a loud noise suddenly came from the direction of the isolation room.

Liga and Aled looked at each other, then hurried towards the isolation room.

-

Qi Yan slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing that came into view was a handsome face.

But his face was too pale, and his eyes were bright red, as if he had not closed his eyes for several days.

Qi Yan was so close that she could even see the tiny hairs on the other person's face clearly.

However, the next moment he suddenly pushed the other person away, then kept his distance in a defensive manner.

"Humanity?"

It was still a familiar voice, but this time when it came out of Qi Yan's mouth, there was no warmth in it.

All the light in Huo Linyuan's eyes suddenly disappeared.

At this time, Qi Yan had already stood up and began to look around. After looking around, his gaze returned to Huo Linyuan again.

At this moment, his expression was obviously cold and arrogant: "Where is Bai Heng now? Why would he allow you to enter the mermaid's territory?"

Huo Linyuan felt so painfully burned by his strange and cold gaze that he stood up and strode towards him without caring about his mental power that had begun to run wild.

Qi Yan immediately became alert when he noticed his movements and raised his hand to attack.

However, he was still a step too slow, and the next moment his wrist was grabbed and he was pressed against the wall.

Then, a cool palm touched Qi Yan's cheek, and the fingertips gently stroked the corner of his eyes, bringing a slight itch.

"Take a good look at me. Who am I?" Huo Linyuan's tone was low and calm, but the hope beating deep in his eyes revealed his nervousness.

Qi Yan raised her head, her eyes directly met those dark green pupils.

At this moment, those eyes were like a deep pool, crushing many emotions.

However, what surprised Qi Yan was that there was a subtle hint of pleading hidden deep in his eyes.

How could such a pair of sharp eyes give rise to such weak emotions?

Qi Yan frowned, but he couldn't help feeling a little palpitated when he saw that look. Qi Yan didn't know what kind of feeling it was, but he instinctively felt danger.

So the next moment he bent his knees and attacked Huo Linyuan's abdomen.

Not sure if it was because he had to suppress his mental strength or because he was slow to react, but Huo Linyuan didn't dodge and was hit hard.

Qi Yan took the opportunity to break free from his restraints and looked at Huo Linyuan who was standing still with a cold expression:

"No matter who you are and why you are here, your rude behavior has angered me."

After saying that, he turned around, concentrated his mental power, transformed it into a big knife, and chopped fiercely at the door of the isolation room.

The loud noise that Li Jia and the others heard was the sound of the door breaking open.

When a few people arrived after hearing the noise, Qi Yan had already walked out the door.

Wen Yi was extremely shocked when he saw the situation in front of him. After being stunned for a moment, he suddenly reacted and rushed into the room.

Li Jia and Alaid, who had rushed over, walked towards Qi Yan with joy on their faces.

But Qi Yan's expression was very cold, but when his eyes fell on Li Jia, the expression on his face was obviously much more relaxed, and there was even a faint smile at the corner of his eyes.

Then he said to Li Jia: "Young Master!"
