Chapter 154: Cute
Anuo instinctively pulled his hand back when the girl's warm, soft hand grasped his.
Luo Su didn't mind and still looked at her with a smile, as if she were looking at some kind of cute little animal.
"Your Highness, what is your name?"
Looking at her smile, Anuo felt that her action of withdrawing her hand earlier was a bit too unfriendly, but it was just her habit, a completely subconscious action when facing unfamiliar people.
She paused and said, "Anunusevier, you can call me Anno."
Luo Su's eyes lit up when she heard her name. "Isn't Anunu what 'Zerg baby' means? Your parents gave you such a cute name, just like you!"
Hearing Luo Su's heartfelt praise, Anuo pursed her lips shyly. Looking into Luo Su's pure eyes, which were free of any impurities, Anuo was reminded of Anaya.
In the past, Sister Nai often looked at her with that kind of gaze, praising her while "touching" her. When they were together, Sister Nai always liked to stick to her in various ways.
"Your Highness, the air outside is too bad. I'll take you to the base ahead first. Their shielding equipment will need some time to turn off."
As Caesar spoke, he pulled out a handkerchief from somewhere and began wiping the dust and blood from her face.
Anno turned the knife and sheathed it, standing there while Caesar wiped her face.
Tanville, who was standing to the side, took her hand and massaged her wrist, using his abilities to soothe Anno's somewhat agitated emotions.
Although the princess had already vented her anger during the battle, he wanted to make her feel better, and he knew she liked his abilities.
The shielding device in Beihe is still on, but as long as his consciousness is connected with His Highness, His Highness's energy will allow him to use his abilities. However, the shielding device has no effect on the connection between their consciousnesses.
Anno sensed Tanville's abilities, and his agitated mood was gradually calmed down.
She really liked Tanville's abilities. His mental abilities made her think of the most beautiful things she had ever experienced, and her mood would improve unconsciously. Moreover, connecting with his consciousness was a very wonderful thing. Tanville's mind was unconditionally open to her. She could see all his memories and feel all his emotions. He would also transmit some happy and joyful emotions to her consciousness.
This synesthesia is similar to, yet different from, the consciousness network among the Zerg. It is all about his personal emotions and feelings. She can more concretely feel his dependence, respect, love, and loyalty to her as a member of his kin, letting her know that this is how members of their kin feel about the king they follow.
After experiencing it, she trusted her family members even more.
"Your Highness, please rest here for a while. We should be able to finish dealing with the shielding equipment in about half an hour."
Caesar and the others prepared a room for Anno at the North River base. Anno didn't feel tired at all. She was no longer the Fire Seed who was always sick and weak. As long as she had enough energy, her body wouldn't get tired.
"Little Nuonuo, may I come into your room to rest?"
Luo Su peeked in from the doorway, blinked, and asked An Nuo.
Anno nodded: "Come in."
The room was spacious, with only one bed, but she didn't need to sleep right now.
With Anuo's permission, Luo Su happily ran towards her. Anuo was sitting on a recliner and looked at Luo Su, who was walking towards her expectantly. She shrank back into the recliner and said, "Find a place to rest yourself."
Seeing that Anuo seemed somewhat resistant and evasive, Luo Su had no choice but to stop in front of her. A hint of regret was in her eyes. She really wanted to touch Anuo. The little antennae on her forehead were so cute, and the beautiful light band behind her ears looked so soft.
She saw that the other insectoids were all very tall and fierce, and their original forms were hardened limbs and antennae. She never expected that the little queen insectoids of the insectoid race would be so cute.
That aloof and unapproachable demeanor, combined with her adorable appearance, creates an inexplicable and endearing contrast; the more she refuses, the more one wants to touch her.
Although she seemed resistant to her on the surface, she could sense that she wasn't actually that cold; she was probably just a little introverted and shy.
Luo Su lay down on the bed next to her. She had been fighting the entire battle with the army. They had been fighting for a long time before Anuo arrived, and they had consumed a lot of energy. It had been a long time since she had consumed so much energy at once.
Fortunately, the Zerg replenished her energy once with their energy stones, otherwise she would have had a hard time holding on.
It wasn't until Anno and the others arrived that the battle situation quickly turned around. Anno's energy was so strong that it amazed her. She had only ever felt such strong energy from Nana. Anno's energy was even more domineering and restless than Nana's, like a wild beast that could go berserk at any moment.
This is also why she unconsciously tried to comfort her on the battlefield.
The entire Interstellar Alliance knew about the feud between the Zerg and the Northern River, and she knew it herself. She felt very sorry for the child in front of her and kept speaking to her in a light tone, trying to cheer her up.
Luo Su turned to look at Anuo. She was a little tired because she had exhausted her energy, but Anuo didn't seem very tired.
Anno had been paying close attention to her performance on the battlefield. She thought to herself that she was indeed the little queen insect of the Zerg. She had heard that the Zerg were very warlike and had a violent and easily angered personality. This cute little queen insect looked fierce when she was wielding a sword to kill enemies on the battlefield!
Anno was staring blankly out the window at the scenery when Luo Su’s gaze became too intense. She turned her head to look at Luo Su, and their eyes met.
Seeing her gaze so direct and undisguised in her affection, Anuo felt a little uncomfortable and looked away. She subconsciously hid the warmth of the light in her hair.
She disliked how the light always so blatantly expressed her emotions.
What she didn't know was that even without a light, she could never hide the expression on her face when she was shy or uncomfortable.
Luo Su noticed Anuo's little movements and said with a smile, "Your Highness Nuonuo, aren't you tired? Why don't you come and sleep with me for a while? This bed is quite spacious."
Anno: "I'm not tired, you should rest."
Luo Su propped her head up and looked at her: "You were so fierce on the battlefield just now, so amazing. Nuonuo, how old are you? You're not an adult yet, are you?"
Anuo hummed in agreement, glanced at her, and said, "Growth age is sixteen."
Luo Su exclaimed in surprise, "That's still a baby! Your Zerg have a very long lifespan. I've seen some popular science books about your Zerg in the library, and it seems like it takes several decades to reach adulthood."
Anno leaned back in the recliner and bent his legs, saying, "It's not several decades. In the Zerg, a person is considered an adult at around twenty-five years old. However, there is a transitional period before they are considered truly adults.
Luo Su asked curiously, "Is the stable form the stable humanoid form?"
She would usually reveal her original form when watching Zerg battles.
Anno: "That's one aspect, but the most important thing is emotional stability and ability. Young Zerg can be very irritable."
Luo Su understood, and then asked, "So, are you the most temperamental among the Zerg?"
According to Anno, she hasn't even reached the basic age of adulthood yet, so she should have a very irritable temper. However, after leaving the battlefield, apart from her energy being somewhat volatile, her emotions are still very stable. She is just somewhat resistant to human contact, but this is a matter of her personality and not influenced by the Zerg genes.
Upon hearing Luo Su's question, Anno gave a rare, faint smile and said to her in a joking tone, "We Zerg are known for our tempers as we rise in rank. You'd better not be fooled by appearances."
"Really?" Luo Su looked at her with clear eyes and said, "But I don't think you have a big temper at all. Were you shy just now?"
Luo Su's second half of the sentence suddenly changed the subject, and Anuo was stunned for a moment before she realized it, and the smile on her face immediately disappeared.
"No."
After saying that, she turned her head away and stopped looking at Luo Su.
Luo Su couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Oh, Your Highness, you're so cute."
As she spoke, Luo Su turned on her personal terminal and said to herself, "Why is there still no signal? If Nana were here, she would definitely like you too. She loves soft and cute creatures like you the most."
Hearing "Nai Nai" and "soft and fluffy" instantly brought back a memory for Anuo. This was only the second time someone had used such words to address her, besides Sister Nai.
She unconsciously turned her head to look at Luo Su.
Luo Su accurately caught her gaze and said to her, "I have a best friend named Anaya. She is the most powerful one among our Holy Spirits. I must let you two meet when I have the chance. She is just like you. She is cute and adorable normally, but she is incredibly fierce on the battlefield."
When Anuo heard the name Luo Su mentioned, he was stunned. "What did you say your friend's name is?"
“Anaya, before I came to the front line, she contacted me and said she was going to the Zerg to find energy stones to replenish her energy. She should be in your star system now. If you were there, you should be able to run into her.”
Upon hearing the name, Anno's mind was immediately in turmoil. It should just be someone with the same name. Sister Nai had already died in the beast tide in the West District, so how could she possibly appear here?
Although she knew the chances of it being her were extremely slim, Anno couldn't help but think of her, her mind filled with memories of their time in the West End.
Those were her last warm moments on Earth, and she really missed her.
