Chapter 515: Her Past
Anno returned to the capital of Tianxiu Star and lived in the same house as before, which she had bought and which had been maintained ever since.
It's not far from the Holy Spirit Villa area; the aircraft will take you to Anaya's house in about ten minutes.
After returning to put down their luggage and leaving a few family members to tidy up the luggage and the house, Anno, along with Caesar Mingxiao and Secris, went to Anaya's house.
As soon as she reached the door, she smelled the aroma of food and heard lively sounds coming from inside.
She was really not used to such a lively scene, and when she thought about the other children in Sister Nai's house, she suddenly felt a little lost standing at the door.
If she were of normal size, she wouldn't feel so awkward. But thinking that she was even smaller than Sister Nai's child, she suddenly didn't want to go in.
Anno stood at the door holding a gift box, not going in for a long time.
Caesar and the others looked down at the young prince, then exchanged glances.
"Your Highness, let me do it."
Caesar knelt down in front of Anno and took the gift from her hands.
Mingxiao suddenly lifted Anuo up and laughed, "Your Highness, don't worry! Leave this situation to me and the Vanguard."
Then, Mingxiao handed Anuo to Secris.
At this moment, Anno and Secris both wore the same expression, a slight aversion to contact with other races ingrained in the Zerg's genes.
It wasn't that Anno disliked the children in Anaiya's family, but rather the lively atmosphere, especially since they were coming for her later.
Just imagining a group of children younger than her surrounding her made her hug Cecil's neck tightly.
Secris patted her back reassuringly.
"Princess, why are you standing at the door and not coming in?"
Snowball noticed them standing at the door and went to greet them.
"Mom is already waiting for you at home. She even tried cooking for herself today."
Snowball leaned close to Anuo and whispered, "Dad always cooks at home. I wouldn't dare eat Mom's cooking. Princess, I think Mom is the one who's going to cook for you. Be careful."
Anno chuckled and said, "Your mother wouldn't go so far as to poison me."
Snowball stuck out her tongue. Her mother was great in every way, but she really couldn't say anything good about her cooking.
As soon as Anuo entered the villa, she saw several pairs of eyes staring at her, and then several children surrounded her, calling her "sister" and "auntie".
Little Star sat expressionlessly to one side reading a book, completely out of place among his noisy younger siblings.
Snowball ran over and snatched his book away, saying, "Brother, all you do all day is read books, you're going to go crazy."
With a flick of his finger, Cang Yao sent the book back into Xueqiu's hands. "You need to read more books; you failed the written test again."
Snowball pouted, "But I won the championship in the competition again. In the future, I want to be like Cyphers, no, I want to be like Grandma Jingmiao and become the strongest woman in Tianyun!"
Cang Yao glanced at her, then turned her gaze back to the book.
Seeing that her brother was ignoring her and kept causing trouble in front of him, Xueqiu moved her fingers and threw her onto the sofa.
"Stinky brother." Snowball made a face at Cangyao and ran to Anuo's side.
At this moment, her younger siblings were calling out to Anuo. Anaya often mentioned this princess aunt to them, and they often saw photos of their mother with the princess aunt, so they were quite familiar with her.
Secris held Anno tightly, his face tense, clearly uncomfortable with the scene, but since this was the little prince's best friend's child, he just stood there like a straight wooden stake.
He was two meters tall, and these children weren't even as tall as his legs. They couldn't reach Anno at all, and they chirped and jumped around Anno like little birds.
"Her Highness has prepared gifts for you all, there are gifts for everyone."
Caesar and Mingxiao distributed the gifts they brought to the children, instantly drawing their attention away, which relieved Secris and Anno.
They are the only ones who know how to soothe the children. With them playing with her, the kids won't bother her anymore.
Anaya's youngest child, Xiaolingdang, is only five years old, and her oldest, Cangyao, is sixteen. Anno counted, and there were a total of seven children.
For the Zerg, there is only one female Queen in each era. The task of breeding is left to the male Zerg, and even the task of conceiving the next generation of Queens is the male Queen's responsibility.
Although Anno grew up on Earth, her Zerg genes made it incomprehensible to her why the task of reproduction was placed on females.
Anaya was busy in the kitchen, while Karna and Hibia watched her struggle to cook for the Zerg prince with a mixture of helplessness and doting. She wouldn't let them help, so they could only remind her what ingredients to put in and how high to turn the fire.
Anaya sensed Anno's confusion and communicated with her through her consciousness: "Only Cangyao was born from my belly. The other children were all conceived in vitro. There aren't many Tianyun people who can conceive naturally anymore. Cangyao got pregnant quite unexpectedly."
At this point, Anuo sensed a hint of inexplicable anger from Anaya. It wasn't because she was pregnant with Cangyao that she was angry; it seemed to be something else, but it was related to Cangyao.
Anno became more curious. "How did the little star come about? Why do you say it was an accident?"
Anaya said with some helplessness, "Back then, in order to save Cangmiao, I went back to when he was young, or rather, more than forty years ago, and... I got pregnant when I came back."
After hearing this, Anuo felt her mind go blank. She sorted it out in her head and asked uncertainly, "You mean, Cangyao isn't Cangmiao? No, not the current Cangmiao, but the Cangmiao you went back to in the past?"
Anaya: "Yes."
"puff."
Anuo couldn't help but laugh. She really wanted to know Cangmiao's expression when he found out; it would probably be terrible.
Isn't this just like putting a green hat on yourself?
Cangmiao must be furious, but that person is himself, so there's nothing he can do even if he's angry. He can't go back in time and strangle himself.
She felt sorry for the king of the Styx Galaxy for a second, considering how pathetic he was.
Anaya continued, "I don't know if that's the reason, but the father and son always seem to have some issues with each other."
Anno laughed, "Probably not, it's his own child after all."
Anaya said, "That's what they say, but it still feels a little strange."
Anno leaned on Secris's shoulder, laughing heartily. This was really funny. In the end, it was only Cangmiao who suffered a loss, and it was his own loss. Who could he complain to?
Anno asked curiously, "Since it doesn't need to be conceived inside your body, has Cangmiao never thought about raising another child with you?"
Anaya doesn't need to take care of the children at home. She is a Holy Spirit, and her only task is to purify the evil beasts of the Tianyun Star System. Everything behind her is well protected.
Moreover, Cangmiao is the king who rules the entire Styx Galaxy. Raising one, ten, or even a hundred would not be a problem for him.
As far as she knew, among the royal families of the Styx Galaxy, only Cangmiao had survived for over a thousand years, making him a legendary figure of the same generation as the Dark Light Queen.
Anaya pondered for a moment and said, "The royal family of the Styx Galaxy is somewhat mixed, and Cangmiao doesn't want another one. I had a very hard time when I was pregnant with Cangyao. He didn't really want Cangyao back then because of genetic issues. Cangyao stole a lot of energy from my body, which made me very weak at the time. So he has never liked Cangyao."
Anno thought to himself, "This is the real reason for the discord between father and son."
She looked at the quiet young man sitting on the balcony. He looked so much like Cangmiao, he was practically a younger version of Cangmiao. Xueqiu would bother him from time to time, but he didn't get angry. He would occasionally control Xueqiu and throw her away. It seemed like he was annoyed with her, but it was more like he was teasing her.
Anno glanced at the children and found that only Xueqiu looked the most like Anaya. The two siblings together were like Cangmiao and Xueqiu when they were young.
"Alright, alright, come and eat!"
As soon as it was time to eat, all the other children rushed to wash their hands and get their bowls and chopsticks.
Anaya picked up Anno and placed her on her special chair. Then she ladled a bowl of stew she had made and placed it in front of her, looking at her expectantly. "Try it."
Caesar and the others looked at the bowl of unidentifiable porridge mixed with meat in front of the little princess and really wanted to snatch it away. They had the illusion that if their princess ate it, she would immediately collapse.
This pot of stewed meat looked completely out of place compared to the other delicious-looking dishes on the table.
The other children all looked at Anno with a hint of fear in their eyes. Is this really their mother? Is it really okay to feed this to the princess?
Looking at the familiar pot of mushy soup, Anuo thought to herself that after all these years, Sister Nai's cooking skills are still as good as ever.
She scooped up a spoonful and put it in her mouth. It tasted alright, but it was just potatoes, some vegetables that were easy to overcook, and meat stewed together. That's how they always cooked things in the past. It's just that Sister Nai was in a hurry, so she turned the fire up really high and kept stirring it, thinking she could eat it quickly, and that's how it turned out.
It doesn't look very appealing, but it tastes alright.
Seeing that the noble princess had eaten, the other children also ate a small bowl with a look of grim determination.
Anaya was very happy and gave the rest to Karna and Hibia to eat.
Snowball was spoiled and kept muttering complaints while eating, which got her a beating from her father. Then he made her eat another bowl and wash the bowl after she finished.
However, the task of washing the dishes ultimately fell to Cang Yao. After dinner, Xueqiu put her hands together and begged her brother to wash the dishes. Cang Yao agreed, but only if they washed them together.
Snowball was washing the dishes on the side. She watched as Cang Yao didn't even have to lift a finger. With his superpowered finger, he could wash the dishes perfectly. With this automatic dishwasher brother around, she was happy to slack off. Cang Yao pretended not to see it.
After finishing her meal, Anno rested at Anaiya's house for a while. Anaiya then took her to the temple. Anno wanted to use the sacred tree to re-enter her dream world and find out where the Dark Light Clan lived.
