Chapter 512: Lifespan

The next day, it started raining heavily outside the cabin. Anuo didn't know when she had gotten into bed. She snuggled in the blankets and rolled over in the somewhat cramped bed.

Bao Bao and A Xun occupied most of the space on her bed. When they saw that she was awake, they all squeezed around her and rubbed and licked her.

Anno was still feeling a bit tired, but their commotion woke her up considerably. She yawned, stretched, and leaned against the bay window, looking out at the heavy rain in the yard through the glass.

Many beautiful plants have been planted outside the yard, and they grow very vigorously regardless of wind and rain.

She hugged a large plush toy and stood side by side with Bao Bao and A Xun, watching the rain outside. The other family members had already woken up early and were busy tidying up in their rooms.

The small wooden house was crammed with seven or eight tall family members, making it seem rather crowded.

Just as Anuo was about to fall asleep again while lying down, she smelled the aroma of food coming from the kitchen.

She rolled over on the bay window, deciding to lie there a little longer. A rainy day was perfect for sleeping. Listening to the pattering rain in the warm room, mixed with the aroma of food, even her dreams were sweet.

Caesar was about to come and hug her, but seeing that she had fallen asleep again, he didn't disturb her and let her sleep a little longer.

Looking at the young prince's peaceful sleeping face, his heart also became incredibly calm. The unwavering persistence that had never ceased for the past hundreds of years, the obsession that had become the driving force of his life, had transformed into a gentle stream, flowing slowly through the river of time in the days to come, accompanying the young prince step by step forward.

"Lord Vanguard."

Mingxiao yawned as he walked over to Caesar. He looked at the still-sleeping prince and scratched his slightly messy hair. "Thank goodness, the prince is still sleeping. I thought I had gotten up later than the prince this time."

Caesar chuckled and ruffled his hair twice. "His Highness is awake, but he just went back to sleep."

Mingxiao exclaimed "Ah!" and said embarrassedly, "I stayed up all night playing games yesterday."

Caesar raised an eyebrow: "Yesterday?"

Mingxiao scratched his head and said, "Not just yesterday, there was the day before yesterday and the day before that..."

Under Caesar's gaze, Mingxiao had no choice but to honestly say, "Vanguard Lord, since you and the young prince are both not here, I have to find something to do to pass the time, so I occasionally indulge in games. Of course, I haven't neglected my duties. Recently, I've been developing a new network system for our Zerg. The Interstellar Alliance's network system is innovating too fast. If I don't develop a new one, I'll fall behind."

"I was developing the system all night, and then I thought I'd play the game a little longer, so I lost track of time. Lord Vanguard, please don't tell the little princess that I got up later than her, or she'll definitely laugh at me."

Caesar said, "Don't worry, you're not the last one to get up."

As he spoke, his gaze turned to the living room.

Mingxiao followed his gaze and met Heiyao's, who was yawning and looking sleepy.

Obsidian stared into Mingxiao's eyes with its mouth agape, then quickly snapped out of it, turning its head away as if nothing had happened.

Bai Yan happened to come out of the kitchen and saw that Hei Yao's hair was messy and he looked like he had just gotten up. Feeling a bit disappointed, she slapped him twice on the back of the head.

"How can you get up later than Mingxiao?" Bai Yan said with a dark face.

Obsidian muttered, "Brother, don't hit me. It was Mingxiao who taught me how to play the game."

Mingxiao retorted indignantly, "I didn't bring you along. You were the one who wanted to play because you saw me playing games, and you asked me to bring you along."

Obsidian retorted, "I didn't ask you to bring me. You said playing games alone was too boring and asked me to play with you."

Mingxiao: "You begged me!"

Obsidian: "You were the one who begged me!"

Two best friends who usually hang out arm in arm suddenly started arguing, their faces flushed red. Neither would back down, and they argued from opposite ends of the living room until they were almost touching, spitting at each other.

Caesar and Bai Yan threw both of them out, letting them fight it out outside.

When Anuo got up, she saw Mingxiao and Heiyao, soaking wet and with torn clothes, entering the house dejectedly.

She asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you all?"

After exchanging a glance, the two rushed to Anuo in the blink of an eye, wanting to complain about each other and also to whine and whine.

Anuo watched as the two of them spewed out words like firecrackers, and for a moment she didn't know who to listen to first.

Secris grabbed the two men by the back of the neck and threw them into the bathroom.

Caesar said through the bathroom door, "Your Highness, if you haven't cleaned up and come out after dinner, I won't wait for you."

The two, who had just finished arguing in the bathroom, were so afraid of being left behind that they forgot about their argument and quickly took a shower to clean themselves up.

While eating breakfast, Anuo reviewed the situation in her mind network. After learning the reason for the fight, she slowed down her eating pace and waited until the two had almost finished cleaning up before she had eaten half of her own breakfast. This way, they could have breakfast together.

She looked at the lively Mingxiao and Heiya, and then at the other members of the family.

Tanville still enjoys reading, and he has started reading books by the Sun People, and even original Sun books, all written in Sun script.

Bazel transformed into his true form and lay on the ground. Although he was now a Zergling, he was originally a North River Star person. However, after his transformation, he had many Zergling characteristics, such as unique glowing insect patterns and horns on his head.

Secris sat upright to the side, like a steel plate.

Bai Yan was still busy running around, he was the most meticulous, and his cooking was the best, taking care of Anuo's daily affairs.

Caesar stayed by her side.

Of the family members, only Mingxiao and Heiyao are like friends. They share things they like, play games together, and bicker and fight like friends, unlike the others who fight to the death.

Looking at Secris's upright posture, she couldn't help but pat him on the back.

Then, Secris immediately stood up, "Your Highness!"

He looked like he was about to go to the battlefield and was ready to be ordered to serve.

Anno: "...Secris, you don't need to be so tense, relax a bit."

Seeing him sitting upright, she unconsciously straightened her posture just like him.

Secris paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, Your Highness."

Then, he sat down with his back straight.

Anno could only look at Bazel, who, sensing her gaze, immediately came over and rubbed her with his fluffy head.

Anno patted his head and said, "Bazaar, you can actually turn back into human form."

Bazel let out a "howl" and buried his big head in her arms. She had no choice but to hug his head and stroke it again and again.

Okay, this way... this way is also very cute.

Bazel said in the consciousness network: Your Highness Nono, do you like me like this?

Anuo thought to herself, "Yes, I like it. Of course I like a soft, big cat."

In the end, she could only look to Caesar, who was making travel plans and selecting some fun places for Anno.

Sensing Anuo's gaze, he turned to look at her, then picked up a napkin and wiped her mouth. "Has Your Highness finished eating?"

Anno glanced at Mingxiao and Heiyao, who were still wolfing down their food and fighting over it, and shook his head.

After hearing this, Bai Yan cut another piece of the freshly baked cake and placed it on her plate.

Anno jumped off the chair with the tray in his hand and walked over to Tanville.

Tanville saw her approaching and put down the book he was holding. "Your Highness?"

Anno asked, "What book are you reading?"

After listening, Tanville pulled her onto his lap, picked up the book, opened it, and read it with her. "It's a history of the Sun Star System. This book records some of the more famous royal members of Sun."

Anno's book is beautifully printed and thick, and it's also illustrated; you probably can't buy it on the market.

"Your Highness guessed correctly. This book is now out of print and was given to me by a diplomat from Yaori."

Tanvel is one of the Zerg's diplomats, and he always manages to acquire rare and precious items that others cannot.

Anno put down the cake in her hand and flipped through the book with him.

She suddenly realized that Sister Nai was also a member of the royal family of Yaori. Was there any story about her here?

This book is like a portrait of the Zerg Queen in the Zerg royal palace, with the life story of the Sun Royal Family written on it.

However, this was originally intended for outsiders; the story and biography are well-known and contain no sensational secrets.

She turned to the last few pages of the book and, sure enough, saw Sister Nai.

The portrait of Sister Nai shows her sitting in an exquisite courtyard, wearing a beautiful and luxurious long dress, with a crown on her head, beautiful silver hair hanging down her back, and a faint smile on her lips.

She was recorded in the annals of legendary royalty as the king and queen of three star systems.

Anno's fingers traced her portrait, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips. It felt like a lifetime ago that the two of them had fought side by side in the snow and ice, and sat on the city wall gazing at the stars on cold nights.

As if sensing something, Anaya's communication popped up at that moment.

As soon as Anuo answered the call, Anaiya's face appeared in front of her. "Nuo Nuo, good morning. Have you finished breakfast? I'm waiting for you to come over."

Anuo then remembered that she had just spoken with Sister Nai yesterday. She smiled and said, "Yeah, I just had breakfast. I'll be there soon."

As soon as she finished speaking, a head suddenly appeared in front of her. "Greetings, Princess Sister."

Seeing the face that bore a striking resemblance to Sister Nai, Anuo knew who it was. She exclaimed in surprise, "Snowball? You've grown so much!"

Anaya smiled helplessly, "You've been asleep for ten years, and my children have all grown up by now."

The lifespan of the Zerg is far longer than that of other races. The lifespan of the Sky Cloud People is about three hundred years, while the lifespan of the Holy Spirit is only one hundred and fifty years. These ten years are already a long time for Anaya.

Anno felt extremely melancholy when she thought about how, a hundred years later, Sister Nai's life would have come to an end, while she was still in her youth.

But seeing the happy smile on Sister Nai's face, she suddenly felt that the length of life wasn't the most important thing.
