Chapter 169: Cleaning Up
Anno saw that Mao Mao had become docile in Obsidian's hands, so he told Obsidian to release it.
This time, although Mao Mao still liked her very much, at least she didn't come up to her and try to lick her.
Mao Mao was enormous. When it stood upright, its head could just reach the balcony. It rested its chin on the balcony, stuck out its tongue like a dog, and opened its mouth to reveal its pale white fangs.
Its upper face was covered by fur, and its eyes were completely obscured.
Although most cats can locate themselves using their sense of smell and energy sensing, they still expose their eyes. The fur around their eyes is not as thick. This particular cat is obviously over-furry, making it look a bit round. As long as it doesn't open its mouth to reveal its strong limbs and claws, it doesn't look so fierce, but rather rather cute.
However, judging from its size, it's probably not an adult yet.
The adult hairy cat is a whole size bigger than it.
As she thought this, Tanvel, who was beside her, said, "Your Highness, this furry creature is already an adult, but it has undergone some mutations and won't grow any bigger."
Anno understood; no wonder he looked a little different from the other furry ones.
She reached out and brushed aside the fluffy hair that was covering Mao Mao's eyes, revealing a pair of vertical, glassy pupils like copper bells.
Her eyes were like energy gems on her body, gleaming with a brilliant and clear light.
Although the furry creatures are fierce, their eyes, horns, and even the exoskeleton beneath their fur are like jewels, with beautiful colors and luster.
Mao Mao eats energy stones. The horns that fall off during the horn-shedding period contain very rich energy, and they produce various gemstones.
Momo likes to wander in space, and some daring people make a profit from this. They specifically calculate Momo's horn-shedding period, track Momo in space, wait for its horns to fall off, and pick them up to sell for a very high price on the black market.
Mao Mao blinked its beautiful big eyes at the little queen beetle in front of it, wanting to stick out its tongue to lick her, but remembering that it had been held down by Obsidian and couldn't move, it held back.
It is a mutated fur creature, and its abilities are not as strong as those of other creatures. All the fur creatures on the main planet have been taken to the front line to participate in the battle, leaving only it and some young fur creatures here.
It was very unhappy, feeling that it was too weak.
Anno asked Tanville for a rubber band so he could tie up the fur that was covering Mao Mao's eyes.
Tanville simply ripped off the headband from his hair and handed it to Anno.
Anno looked at his long, smooth black hair falling over his shoulders, making his handsome and gentle appearance seem somewhat androgynous.
Unlike the others who have a somewhat wild and unruly appearance, Tanvel has delicate and refined features with soft facial lines, making him seem like someone who is easy to get along with.
Anno took the headband from his hand: "I'll use your headband to tie Mao Mao's hair, then you won't have one."
Tanvel looked at her gently. "Your Highness, I still have some left. Please use it first."
When he said there was more, Anuo took the hair tie and tied it up for Mao Mao.
Mao Mao kept its eyes fixed on Anuo's movements, resting its head on the edge of the balcony without moving, only its tail swaying occasionally behind it.
Mao Mao had so much hair that Anuo couldn't tie it up properly even after trying for a long time.
She grabbed a large clump of hair to tie it up, but more hair slipped out of her hand.
A hand as white as jade caught the stray hair from Anuo's hand, while the other hand held Anuo's hand and skillfully tied the hair on her forehead, even putting a bow on it.
Anno smiled and rubbed Mao Mao's face. "Now you can see it."
Mao Mao let out an excited growl and couldn't resist sticking out its tongue to lick her. Tanville quickly grabbed Anno's waist and easily lifted her to the side, avoiding Mao Mao's tongue.
But the tongue still licked Tanville's body.
Anno watched as Tanville was covered in saliva from being licked by Mao Mao's big tongue, and couldn't help but smile.
A hint of helplessness flashed in Tanville's eyes. He put Anno aside and gave Mao Mao a cold glance.
Mao Mao shrank his neck and hid his head under the balcony, peeking at them through the railing.
This bug is even fiercer than the last one!
Anno sensed the thoughts conveyed by Mao Mao and looked at it with amusement.
It's a mole! One of the most ferocious creatures in the Zerg galaxy, yet it dares to call others ferocious.
Tanville bowed respectfully to Anno. "Your Highness, I'll go wash up and tidy myself up first."
"Okay, go ahead."
Anno knew that Tanville was a bit of a germaphobe and very clean, so he was sure he couldn't stand being licked so hard by Mao Mao.
Tanville jumped off the balcony and headed towards the palace where he lived.
Anno took a stroll through the consciousness network. Her parents were holding a military meeting in the main hall, managing government affairs. Caesar and the others' consciousness networks were disconnected.
She was unable to contact Caesar to open a portal for her.
Bai Yan said to her, "Your Highness, the Vanguard Commander is fighting on the front lines. The Northern River Alliance is good at blocking, so we cannot contact him for the time being."
Currently, the various Zerg legions are on different battlefields, and Caesar and Secris, as high-ranking members of the Zerg, must go to the battlefield.
The Zerg are sent to the battlefield by their high-ranking members; unless absolutely necessary, the Overlords are stationed on the home planet.
The Zerg can only continue to exist if the Overlord is present.
Even Augustus and Severus did not participate in many wars over the centuries.
The war three hundred years ago was caused by the collapse of the Alliance, which wanted to drag the Zerg into the conflict, forcing them to step in.
Because Anunu was about to hatch again at that time, if they ignored it, they would be even less able to take care of the war that was raging on their doorstep.
But they never expected that the war would cost them their most important person, Anunu.
Augustus was injured again and vomited blood on the spot in his distress.
Anno only went to the battlefield to vent his anger.
The entire interstellar alliance is in chaos now, with various star system races all wanting to reshuffle the decks in this alliance war and gain some benefits for themselves.
However, due to the feud between the Zerg and the North River, the entire battlefield was moved to the North River's doorstep.
Various star systems have established numerous bases in the outer space of the Northern River system, all waging war against it and attempting to divide the Northern River system among themselves.
Sevier and the others are not stopping these star systems now. Let them fight if they want to. If they try to stop them, it will only prolong the battle.
But the Northern River system can only belong to them; those who want to divide it up will have to ask the Zerg for permission first.
If the alliance wants to muddy the waters, let them. After we've finished destroying the Northern River system, we'll deal with them one by one.
Anno didn't go to the main hall to bother Sevier and the others. She was still just the heir of the Zerg. Although she had decision-making power, she didn't have the experience of her parents. She quietly nestled on the sofa in front of the fireplace, listening to her followers report on the front-line battle situation in the consciousness network, learning from their analysis of the battle situation, and at the same time learning about other star system races.
Although she has inherited memories, she also needs to sort them out and absorb them.
Bai Yan and Hei Yao prepared a meal for her. Anuo turned on the projection screen of the light brain. While listening to the government affairs in the main hall in the consciousness network, she watched videos on the projection screen to learn the languages of other star systems and understand the habits and characteristics of these races.
Following her usual habits and preferences, Bai Yan filled a large bowl with all the food and handed the bowl and spoon to Anuo.
Anno used to eat like this when she lived at Luo Jin's house, but her bowl was too small to hold much food.
Now, in her own palace, she dislikes sitting at the table even more, preferring to eat from a large bowl while sitting on the sofa.
Anuo scooped a spoonful of food into her mouth, and the aroma of the meat coated in sauce spread in her mouth. Her eyes lit up slightly as she looked at Bai Yan and praised, "Bai Yan, your cooking skills have improved a lot."
None of her family members had ever cooked; they usually ate very casually, or simply didn't eat anything and just replenished their energy.
Mingxiao is the only one who enjoys eating a little bit, but she hasn't tried many delicacies from other star systems. After having a "normal" meal with Anuo, she now thinks about those delicious foods every day.
During this period, all of Anuo's meals were cooked by Bai Yan. His ability allowed him to precisely control the heat and quickly learn the essence of cooking skills.
Caesar and the others also tried to cook a meal for Anno, but before they could even serve it to her, they tasted it themselves and their faces darkened. They then threw away the food, which was neither visually appealing nor delicious.
In the end, Bai Yan's food was the best. They originally thought of hiring a chef from another planet, but it would be better if they could cook it themselves, so they wouldn't need to hire anyone else.
