Chapter 206: Taking Care
When the other family members saw Anuo hand the food to Mingxiao, their eyes all turned to her, intentionally or unintentionally.
Anno glanced at them, his eyes hitting them precisely.
Anno was naturally quite perceptive, and since he was connected to Caesar and the others through a consciousness network, he wasn't unaware of their emotions.
She always treated them fairly, as long as she knew some of their thoughts.
She put a scallop in each of their bowls.
Poponia and the others happily ate the food Anno handed them; to them, it was a gift from His Highness.
It is a reward.
Bazel pried open the scallop that Anno handed her, put on her favorite dipping sauce, and placed the scallop meat in her bowl.
Although Bazel is now a member of the Zerg, his way of thinking is still somewhat different from theirs.
Although he had incorporated the hierarchical thinking of the Zerg into his consciousness, in private, he still took care of her and treated her as the little seed she was back then, his queen and his Nono.
He didn't care what others thought; he only cared about Nuonuo. He would find anything Nuonuo liked for her, and if she liked her second sister, he would love her too.
He was her protector, never asking or pleading for anything from her, including her feelings and attention.
As long as she's happy.
He disliked Caesar because Caesar was too "ambitious." Despite being a member of the Zerg, Caesar was able to break through the limitations of his level, disregard the commands of the Overlord, and do as he pleased.
This doesn't conform to the hierarchical pattern inherent in the Zerg's genes. Although he used some tricks and didn't completely break through this level, his intention to do so is extremely dangerous.
Even for Nono's sake, as a high-ranking member of the Zerg, he had already overstepped his bounds.
Caesar was quite different from the other members of his clan; he stood out too much. This kind of prominence would be acceptable in any other race that did not have the Zerg social model, but it was not acceptable among the Zerg.
Especially since Nono is so soft-hearted, Caesar seems obedient, but in reality, he is always manipulating Nono's psychology to seek her attention.
In the future, Nono will be the highest-ranking Zerg Queen, and Caesar will have to be subordinate to Nono, no matter what.
Bazel glanced at Caesar, who was much quieter now. His consciousness wasn't circling around Anno like it had been when he first woke up in the morning. He was just quietly eating his food, looking like a well-behaved and silent servant.
Mingxiao was the one who talked the most, constantly talking to Anuo. Usually at this time, Caesar would definitely send this silly little bug away.
"Your Highness, I calculated all night last night, and it will take at least three days for Her Majesty the Queen to locate us."
Mingxiao turned on the projector screen, which displayed a 3D model he had created. Last night, he had cracked the Skynet of the North River Galaxy. Sitting on the rooftop of the hotel, he used his detection equipment to calculate the time and location when the Queen would open the spacetime, so that they could make contact with the Queen as soon as possible.
Anuo smiled slightly at Mingxiao, "Well done, Mingxiao."
Mingxiao was so happy she was practically bubbling with joy! His Highness praised me again! I'm a useful little bug to His Highness!
Mingxiao turned to look at Caesar, wanting to share his happy feelings with him. He would always share his emotions with the Vanguard, who was usually very patient with him and willing to accept his feelings.
He turned to look at Caesar, only to find him eating intently. Mingxiao then gently "knocked" him on the consciousness network.
He could have called him directly since they were so close, but he felt that Lord Caesar seemed to be in a bad mood.
Caesar, sensing Mingxiao's joyful mood, turned to look at him and thought, "That silly little bug."
Just when Mingxiao thought Caesar was ignoring him, Caesar replied to him in the mind network.
Anno looked up at Caesar and Mingxiao, staring at them with a puzzled expression.
She knew the Zerg liked to communicate using the consciousness network, but even though they were so close, sitting together, they were still whispering to each other using the consciousness network.
Caesar felt Anno's gaze and smiled gently at her.
Anuo rested her chin on her hand and looked at him and Mingxiao, saying, "You two have such a good relationship."
It's rare to see family members getting along so well.
The Zerg are a race with a short temper, and if there is no war, their members will fight each other from time to time.
Especially among the families of high-ranking members, it's already quite good if they can get along peacefully.
The last time she rested on the palace balcony, she saw her mother's retinue fighting fiercely on the mining plain, leveling all the newly grown ore.
This wasn't the first time she'd seen the high-ranking family members fighting. They were usually well-behaved around her, but once they left her side, the atmosphere became tense and hostile.
She hadn't seen her family members fight much, except for the time when Bazel and Obsidian fought.
"I have the best relationship with Lord Vanguard!"
Mingxiao patted Caesar on the shoulder and grinned, "Vanguard Lord takes very good care of me!"
Tanville raised an eyebrow slightly. Caesar was indeed very "caring" towards Mingxiao, almost to the point of selling him out. If he were sold out, Mingxiao would have to count the money for Caesar.
Caesar patted Mingxiao on the shoulder and smiled gently: "Mingxiao hatched the latest, so it's only right that we take care of him."
Apart from Anno, the others all knew perfectly well that with Caesar's personality and his almost undisguised possessiveness towards Anno, they should be grateful that the Zerg's social structure allowed them to survive without eliminating them all. Anno's level was enough to suppress him.
Tanville had always thought Caesar was a gentle mad dog.
Even when he goes crazy, he looks like a normal person to others.
After finishing their breakfast of eight hundred tricks, Anno and Karina set off for Amber Island to see Logan.
Caesar and the others naturally went along as well, and to avoid any unnecessary accidents or trouble, they all wore shapeshifters.
Caesar opened a portal to the vicinity of the Ability Academy in Amber Continent. It was springtime, and the area around the academy was full of blooming flowers. As soon as Anno stepped out of the portal, a sea of blooming flowers came into view.
There was also a race track for aircraft racing in the sea of flowers. Various types of aircraft flew past her, bringing up a shower of petals.
Karina said, "This is the flower-filled race track outside the academy. Amber Continent often hosts aircraft races, and various academies come to participate."
Karina glanced at the calibration time on her personal terminal and said, "It should be the Spring Season now. With so many aircraft here for test flights and training, it seems that the competition schedule hasn't changed much in almost a hundred years."
Anno's gaze lingered on the sea of flowers for a moment before she turned to look at the Superpower Academy not far behind her.
She and Winnie had stayed in Amber Continent for a while before, but they had never been to the North Star Ability Academy where Bai Zhou and the others studied.
Luo Jin's entire family studied at this superpower academy from a young age, which is also the best superpower academy on Tianhe Star.
Anno had even thought about going to school with Tao Tao and the others.
Karina's fingers flew across the computer screen as she glanced at Anno and pulled her close.
Anno looked at Karina's personal terminal, "Second sister, what are you doing?"
Karina showed her a photo on the personal terminal, saying, "I'm using your mother's photo to locate her."
Anno asked, "Why don't we just go to her class and find her?"
Karina said, "When my mother was young, she was quite willful and she usually didn't go to regular classes."
When she was little, her grandparents often told her about her mother's childhood, marveling that she never caused them any trouble, unlike her mother, who was very irritable and wild when she was young and often disobedient, which was completely inconsistent with her extremely high genetic level.
They even took her to get her genetic level tested many times, fearing that she might soon become a degenerate.
But apart from being a bit short-tempered, she's otherwise perfectly normal.
Anno watched as the red dot on Karina's computer began to flash and then move. She tapped on the computer to zoom in on the location displayed.
The location shown here is near the Superpower Academy, and the moving red dot on the map clearly shows the sea of flowers in front of them.
Judging by the speed of movement, Locke must be participating in an aircraft race.
After confirming that Lokin was at the Flower Sea Arena, Karina pulled Anno towards the arena.
"It seems Mother is competing. Let's go watch from the stands."
