Chapter 199: Guarantee

Cangmiao watched as Sevier rubbed her temples, looking anxious.

He said to her, "It's good to give the waxing crescent moon some time to recover. If she's not in her best condition, something will definitely go wrong."

Cangmiao knew best about the Upper Crescent Moon's abilities; they were useful, but also truly unreliable.

If she's not in good condition, then letting her use this ability would really be a gamble.

For example, she could activate time travel and return to thirty years ago. If she's lucky, the difference would be less than ten years, and the location wouldn't be too far off.

If you're unlucky, it's possible to go back 300 years and travel from the Tianyun Galaxy to the neighboring Yaori Galaxy.

Not long ago, the waxing crescent moon opened a time portal for Sevier, sending her to Earth where Anunu fell three hundred years ago.

This time the crescent moon was fairly accurate, but due to the time constraints, Sevier didn't stay long before returning.

Sevier knew that things couldn't be rushed; all she could do now was wait for Anno's position to stabilize.

She can use this time to deal with the Northern River system.

After being sucked into the vortex, Anno felt herself falling. After falling for a while, a warm and strong hand grabbed her and pulled her into a tight embrace.

She smelled the familiar cool fragrance.

"Xiao Qi, it's me."

Karina's unique, cool, and magnetic voice rang out above her head.

Anno was surrounded by darkness, but being held in Karina's arms made her feel safe and secure.

There was no light at all, not even the light emanating from her body had been absorbed or covered up. In the darkness, she was like a streetlamp.

She ran her hand over Karina, touched her face, and then wrapped her arms around her neck and hugged her tightly.

"Second sister." She couldn't see Karina, and when she looked up, she bumped into Karina's chin.

She immediately reached out to touch her face.

"Does it hurt?"

She and Karina asked each other at the same time.

"It doesn't hurt." Karina touched her forehead, rubbed it, and then pressed her head against her shoulder. "Don't move. We're in a wormhole crevice right now. We'll be safe once things stabilize."

Karina spoke, activating the personal computer with her voice, and checked the time recorded on it.

The quantum computer is currently offline, but she has been recording the time it took for them to be sucked into the wormhole vortex ever since.

Only half an hour has passed since I was inhaled.

They had actually been inside a wormhole the whole time without moving; it was this wormhole that carried them along with them.

Anno moved up a little, hugging Karina's neck, and nestled his head into the crook of her neck.

Karina lifted her up a little and suddenly said, "Why are you still so small even though you've grown up?"

It was a very serious question, and it also hurt Anno's feelings a little.

She also longed to grow taller; she dreamed of becoming as tall and imposing as her mother.

However, due to genetic limitations, the Firefly Clan is limited to this body type.

It has no sharp claws, nor does it grow a shell.

His height... well, he might still grow a bit.

She said to Karina, "According to the Zerg's growth cycle, I haven't entered adulthood yet, and I can still grow taller."

Karina: "In the Zerg branch, the height of the Firefly is generally between 1.6 and 1.7 meters. Your current height is about 1.65 meters. According to the growth probability, your height is basically fixed."

Anuo took a deep breath: "Second Sister."

"Um?"

"Could you...?"

"Can you do what?"

Anno sighed inwardly, "Never mind."

“We can’t forget about it.” Karina gently patted Anno on the back of the head. “You can tell me anything you want.”

Upon hearing this, Anuo felt an urge to mark her second sister and make her a member of the Zerg, so she would know what her sister was thinking.

"Actually, you still have a chance to grow the remaining five centimeters and reach 1.7 meters."

Karina sensed Anno's silence and a hint of amusement crept into her voice.

How could she not know what Anuo was thinking?

She's just used to this way of communicating with people, and everything she says has a formulaic, straightforward quality.

"Even if your height is fixed, with your Queen Insect genes, plus the energy ore and the blessing of your biological parents, it is possible to artificially increase your height to the limit of Radiance."

Ying Shuo's maximum height is only about 1.7 meters.

"That's good."

Anno's voice also carried a hint of joy and excitement.

Karina wasn't good at comforting people, but her way of stating the facts actually made Anno feel more comfortable and at ease.

The two remained suspended in the dark space, unsure when they would be able to stabilize.

Caesar and his companions' consciousness was also intermittent.

Sometimes their vision is completely dark, sometimes it is bright, or it becomes colorful.

Occasionally, a few images would flash before my eyes, but I couldn't see them very clearly.

As the light brightened, Anno looked at Karina's face.

Karina happened to turn her head to look at her, and seeing the soft little antennae on Anno's forehead, she couldn't help but reach out and touch them.

The tentacle trembled when touched.

So she pinched it again, and Anuo immediately turned her head away from her hand, "Second sister, don't pinch me."

Karina: "Don't you like it?"

When she was in the cabin, she saw her little tentacles and really wanted to touch them.

Anno pursed her lips. "It's not that I don't like it."

Karina: "I know you'll be shy."

As he spoke, he touched her ear with his finger; it was burning hot.

Anuo has nowhere to hide now. Her second sister can make her wish she could bury herself in a hole no matter what.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Don't touch me anymore!"

"Okay, I won't touch it."

After a while, Anuo's voice rang out in the darkness, "Second sister, if you don't know where to put your hands, just put them behind your back!"

Are her tentacles really that easy to squeeze?!

Karina seemed not to hear her. "Fluorescent particles really don't grow shells? There isn't much literature about fluorescent particles. I'd like to learn more about you."

Anno looked up at her suspiciously. Was this all she wanted to know?

"It's not long. Our original form is similar to the golden sand jellyfish, a translucent luminous object with a soft flesh body."

Karina reached out and touched her hand, brushing against her fingertips. "No claws either?"

Anno: "Yes, I'll show you when we're safe."

After a while, Anno grabbed Karina's hand, "Second sister, put your hands behind your back!"

Why are my second sister and Nai sister the same? They pet her like a cat!

Karina: "But I need to hold you, otherwise we'll be separated."

Anno: "I'll just hold you!"

Karina: "I'm afraid you'll let go and leave me."

Anno: "No, I promise."

Hearing Anno's assurance, Karina's lips curled up slightly. "Alright then, I'll carry you with one arm."
