Chapter 465: A Warm Dream
"Mom, I also want to raise fish in the palace."
"fish culture?"
"Yes, Sister Naya really likes fish. When I raise fish, she'll come to visit me. She'll be so happy to see the fish."
Anno looked in the direction of the sound and saw two figures, one large and one small, sitting in the crystal courtyard. Another tall figure walked through the corridor and toward them.
Everything around her became blurry. Beneath Anno's feet was a smooth mirror, and she could see her own reflection when she looked down.
Only the crystal courtyard in front of them was clear, with the family of three eating and talking together.
“Today, a little rascal got stuck in the ore cave. That bunch of rascals almost turned the mine upside down. I had Nancy deal with it.”
Augsis picked Anno up from Sevier's arms and affectionately nuzzled her forehead.
Has my Anunu grown a little bit again?
Augustus chuckled and kissed her cheek, but she pushed him away, saying, "Daddy, I'm almost in my adult stage!"
Anunu pouted and whispered, "It's stopped growing. Don't treat me like a cub anymore."
Augsis and Sevier exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with laughter.
“Anunu, how old are you? Your core is already in the adult stage, but you are still in the growth stage. Even if our Anunu is already an adult worm, as long as Mom and Dad are here, Anunu will always be our precious baby.”
Augsis picked up Anunu and sat her on his arms, looking at her with loving eyes. "It's so nice. Our Anunu is Sparkle, she always looks like a little baby."
Anunu hugged his neck and complained, "But Anunu wants to be the most powerful insect, just like Father and Mother, with sharp claws and a thick shell, unlike now, where everything is soft."
Sevier picked Anunu up and said to her earnestly, "Our Anunu is the most amazing. If the Zerg were to lose the Glowing, it would be like other races not having a healer. Anunu's birth has allowed the gradually dying Glowing to grow stronger. This is an extraordinary thing, even more amazing than your parents."
Anunu's face brightened slightly. "Really?"
Augsis sat down beside them. "Of course it's true. We Zerg never lie to each other. Our consciousness and souls are always connected."
Anunu said "Oh", and then asked, "Then why did you let Nancy handle it, Dad? I haven't seen Nancy in a long time, and I want to play with him."
Augsis coughed, wanting to come up with an excuse, but then he remembered that he had just said that the Zerg never lied to each other, and his expression became somewhat awkward. He couldn't tell the truth, nor could he lie, and in the end, it was Sevier who came to his rescue.
"Because Nancy is the most capable among Mother's retinue, she can handle things the fastest. When she comes back later, she can tell you how she solved it. It will definitely be very interesting. Our Anunu loves listening to Nancy tell stories, doesn't she?"
Anunu nodded and said, "That little furry thing is so silly. It actually managed to get stuck in the hole. It must be because it's too greedy."
Sevier smiled and pinched her delicate little nose. "Anunu is so smart, you guessed it. That energy stone mine is newly mined, and the ore is rich in energy. Newborn kittens are the most greedy."
Anno stood not far away, watching them chat and laugh together. She wanted to get closer to them, but in the end, she was blocked by an invisible wall and could only watch.
The scene shifts to the royal palace, where Anunu sits at a corner of the conference table, listening listlessly as they handle state affairs. Her attendants occasionally glance at her and slip her small snacks.
At this moment, Nancy, having dealt with the mine incident, entered the main hall. She also brought back a fluffy cub, which, although just a fluffy baby, was already the size of an adult.
The fluffy little creature was walking around the palace, its tongue lolling out and head bobbing. When Anunu saw Nancy return, its eyes lit up and it ran towards her, exclaiming, "Nancy, you're back!"
Nancy looked at the little princess who ran up to her, smiled and patted her head, "Little princess, this is what I brought back from the mine."
He handed her a beautiful energy stone.
Anunu looked at the fluffy puppy rolling around next to her and hugged it tightly. "I love it so much!"
Nancy smiled slightly and said, "I'm glad Your Highness likes it."
Anno watched as Anunu, who was about the same age as her, happily rolled around with Mao Mao, while the royal family members all looked at her with tender eyes.
This Anunu is clearly much more cheerful and outgoing than her. She doesn't have her innocent and cheerful nature. This Anunu obviously grew up surrounded by love and didn't have her experiences.
Anno watched as Anunu led the little furry boy to Augsis and Sevier, and saw the loving looks they gave Anunu. She wanted to go forward, but was blocked by an invisible wall.
She hadn't seen her mother and father for a long time. She used to be able to talk to them often when she was in Tianyun, but she lost contact with them after coming to Leica.
They must be very worried about her, and she misses them very much.
She and Xi spoke half-jokingly and half-sincerely about their feelings about the past, but there was one thing she truly thought.
Having experienced the past, and knowing her true identity, and knowing that she has parents and a loving and caring home, she no longer wants to lose them.
Being away from them for too long caused her to feel anxious from time to time, an anxiety that Sitar Caesar and the others could not alleviate.
Perhaps it's because she never had a real childhood, never grew up like a real cub, that she now feels dependent on her mother and father.
This dependence is also her true nature, and Xi can feel it. So even if Anuo pretends to get close to her and depend on her in front of her, she will still believe her.
"Mother!"
Anno placed his hand on the transparent wall and called out to them anxiously.
"Dad, Mom! Look at me!"
Anno pounded on the invisible wall, calling out to them incessantly, but their eyes remained fixed on Anunu in front of them, ignoring Anno's calls.
After Anno called out to her countless times, she awoke from her dream.
Anno opened her eyes and stared blankly at the golden ceiling for a while before she came to her senses.
She placed her hand on her forehead, closed her eyes, and slowly exhaled.
I had that dream again.
These past few days, she has been spending almost every day with Xi, constantly dreaming of her mother and father, and of the royal palace. The more she dreams of them, the more dependent she feels on Xi.
She possessed a faint pheromone, and it was the kind of pheromone that matched the Zerg, which made Anno feel an inexplicable closeness to her.
If she hadn't been wary of her from the beginning, and hadn't known in her heart that Xi had ulterior motives towards her, plus Fei Xing's constant reminders, she would definitely have been deceived by Xi.
Anno lay there in a daze for a while, thinking about Anunu's innocent and happy appearance in her dream. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up. Then she got out of bed, casually picked up an outer robe placed next to her and put it on.
She had been sleeping in Xi's palace for the past few days, partly to get closer to her, and partly because she genuinely and inexplicably wanted to be with her.
It's already noon. She went to bed around 10 p.m. last night and slept for most of the day.
Fei Xing watched as Anunu slept for longer and longer, and could only worry inwardly. She had to return to the Zerg as soon as possible. If she continued to stay in the City of Heaven, he would eventually be unable to seal off her core energy.
The Golden Palace will also continuously devour her core energy. Her current state of being here is not much different from when her core was stolen by the Northern River Star System.
Anunu wandered around the vast palace but didn't see Xi. After thinking for a moment, she walked towards the courtyard.
After passing through the corridor, she arrived at the lake again, and sure enough, she saw Xi soaking in the lake.
Xi stood motionless with her back to her, so she could only see the back of her head and half of her back.
Looking at her beautifully defined shoulder blades, Anuo suddenly felt that her back seemed a bit wider than before.
Anuo was staring at Xi's back when Xi noticed her arrival and turned around to look at her.
In the instant she turned around, Xi sank slightly underwater, and now Anuo could only see her neck.
"woke up?"
Xi swam towards the lake and saw Anuo standing there. She said to her, "Excuse me, could you wait here for a moment? I need to get dressed first."
Last time, Xi walked confidently ashore and let Anuo see her naked body, but now she's telling Anuo to stay away.
Without giving it any further thought, Anuo walked towards the small pavilion next to him.
As soon as she left, she heard Xi come ashore. Thinking about the different attitudes Xi had shown her when bathing in the lake, she felt that something was wrong. A thought flashed through her mind, but she couldn't quite grasp it.
When she looked towards the lake again, Xi had already put on her outer robe, her long hair dripping wet and hanging down her chest.
"Did you sleep well?"
Xi sat down next to her, poured her a glass of water and pushed it in front of her, "Are you hungry? I'll have someone bring some food over here so we can eat together."
Xi quickly gave the instructions on the personal terminal, dried her hair with a handkerchief, and when she saw Anuo's gaze, she handed her the energy stone pendant.
Anno took it, walked behind her and helped her put it on, and couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, why do you take off the pendant every time you take a bath? Isn't it waterproof?"
Xi couldn't help but chuckle and said, "No, it's just that whenever I'm in the water, I hope there's nothing on me. It makes me feel at ease."
Anno watched as her thin outer robe was soaked with water from her long hair. She wasn't wearing anything underneath, and the robe clung to her body, outlining her curves and exuding an indescribable allure and sexiness.
Anuo stared at her back again, then couldn't help but look down at her chest, but before she could see anything, she saw Xi turn her head to look at her.
"Your Majesty, let me dry your hair for you."
Anno avoided her gaze and grabbed her long hair.
Xi's eyes were filled with obvious joy as she handed the handkerchief to Anuo.
Anno took the handkerchief, gathered all the long hair that was hanging down in front of her chest and pulled it behind her back, glancing at her chest.
Why does it seem like... Xi's chest is much smaller than usual?
