The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 876: Chapter 855: Interstellar Superstar 25

Xiao Yuan woke up from a deep sleep.

As soon as he regained consciousness, he felt a wave of stabbing pain coming from his brain.

Startled in his heart, he instinctively checked and discovered that the spiritual power of this body had long since been shattered.

He took a deep breath, trying hard to merge his own spiritual power with the fragmented spiritual power of this body, attempting to slowly fuse the broken pieces together.

At the same time, he let the body absorb the Spiritual Energy and circulate it.

Xiao Yuan was not in a hurry.

Even if he couldn’t use spiritual power after waking up, he was not afraid.

He could still cultivate Spiritual Power, he could still cultivate Devil Power; he had many ways to become strong.

Just as he circulated the Spiritual Power within for a Grand Circulation, a torrent of memories surged forth.

These were the original body’s memories.

Xiao Yuan quickly read through the memories transmitted by the original body, understanding why this body ended up like this.

The original body was a heroic figure, born into a prominent family. As the eldest son, he had been rigorously trained since childhood, tasked with defending his home and country. He had always fulfilled his duties, bearing the heavy responsibilities of family and country.

Over a year ago, the original body was attacked by the Insect Clan on the battlefield, causing his spiritual power to shatter, leaving him in a half-dead state lying on a sickbed.

The memory paused here for a while, then another wave of memories surged into Xiao Yuan’s mind.

These memories were after the original owner’s death.

The original owner didn’t disappear after death due to a deep-seated obsession.

He also knew how he died.

According to the original body’s memories, he was killed by his younger brother yesterday.

After his death, his younger brother Xiao Gen became the Alliance Marshal.

But Xiao Gen did not shoulder the responsibilities of a Marshal, he was solely focused on eloping with Fang Xiaolian, doing numerous things to frame innocents for her.

He was so absorbed in romance that he neglected to improve his strength, he also failed to support his subordinates, causing deep resentment in the army.

But Xiao Gen was completely oblivious.

He was an ambitious person with inadequate ability.

If it were only this, it would be tolerable. But the real issue was that Fang Xiaolian, who Xiao Gen liked, was a typical Mary Sue protagonist. Besides Xiao Gen, she tangled with several other men.

Moreover, Fang Xiaolian held no sense of protecting her home country and had no awareness of protecting humanity.

Even though humans and the Insect Clan were adversaries, and if humans were defeated, they would become food for the Insect Clan, Fang Xiaolian still believed humans and the Insect Clan could coexist peacefully.

The one who instilled this notion in her was a Humanoid Insect from the Insect Clan.

Humanoid Insects looked very similar to humans; the females were typically uglier than humans, but the males were generally handsome.

Fang Xiaolian was smitten by a male Humanoid Insect, even starting an affair with him.

If Xiao Gen were a clear-headed person, he should have killed Fang Xiaolian and that Humanoid Insect then.

But with Fang Xiaolian on his mind, Xiao Gen ignored the fate of humanity, being led by that Humanoid Insect, eventually parasitized by the Insect Clan, becoming their spy among humans.

Xiao Gen, under control of the Insect Clan, killed many senior generals in the army, and Fang Xiaolian also harmed many people.

Because of them, and Fang Xiaolian’s suitors, humanity lost the war with the Insect Clan, turning them into their food and bringing humanity near extinction.

Xiao Yuan absorbed these memories and gritted his teeth with anger towards Xiao Gen and Fang Xiaolian.

This was also the emotion of the original body.

The original owner did not hate Xiao Gen for harming him.

If Xiao Gen, after harming him, had diligently cultivated spiritual power, enhanced his strength, and led humanity in defending their homeland, he wouldn’t have hated him. On the contrary, he would have felt proud of his brother for taking responsibility.

However, Xiao Gen’s single-minded pursuit of love, indiscriminately prioritizing his romance over everything else, dragging humanity into the abyss, and tarnishing the Xiao family’s name, was what the original owner hated the most.

Xiao Yuan understood the original body’s feelings.

He softly said, ”Rest assured, I will protect your homeland, protect humanity, and never let the Insect Clan’s conspiracy succeed.”

After he said this, his mind cleared, and the pain and anger gradually faded away.

He knew that the original body has completely vanished.

Xiao Yuan raised his hand to his chest, feeling the strong heartbeat there, and he smiled.

According to the memory, he was supposed to die yesterday, but he was still alive and well, indicating a change in events.

Xiao Yuan understood that this change must have been brought about by Anning.

He knew Anning had found him.

After gradually calming down, Xiao Yuan closed his eyes and began to merge spiritual power while also cultivating the Star Decision.

The Star Decision was a Magic Spell Xiao Yuan obtained from another world. After acquiring it, he modified it to better align with the cosmic operating rules and the world rules, making it more potent.

The Star Decision can utilize Star Power for cultivation, allowing the cultivation of spiritual power and self Spiritual Power, as well as drawing Witch Power into the body.

Xiao Yuan practiced the Star Decision, initially using it to merge spiritual power.

He intended to repair his spiritual power first, then cultivate Spiritual Power, while also strengthening this body.

One night passed, by the next morning, Anning’s spiritual power had already recovered, and his body’s Spiritual Power had accumulated significantly.

She got up and changed clothes, not heading downstairs immediately, but going to Xiao Yuan’s room first.

When Anning entered, Xiao Yuan opened his eyes.

He looked at Anning, his lips curving into a gentle smile.

Anning knew without a doubt that this was Xiao Yuan.

”How are you feeling now?”

Anning asked.

Xiao Yuan raised his hand, and Anning stepped forward to grasp it: ”How do you feel? Is there any discomfort?”

”I’m alright.”

Xiao Yuan opened his mouth, and even he was startled.

This body had lain in bed for a long time, and due to the prolonged time, his throat was hoarse. His voice was unpleasantly raspy; simultaneously, his throat ached uncomfortably.

Anning quickly grabbed some water for Xiao Yuan to drink.

After Xiao Yuan drank the water, Anning said, ”Take care of yourself, and don’t let anyone know you’ve woken up yet.”

Xiao Yuan nodded.

Anning added, ”Your brother Xiao Gen is sinister; you need to be cautious.”

”I know.”

Xiao Yuan smiled gently, ”I understand he wants to harm me.”

At this moment, footsteps echoed in the hallway.

Xiao Yuan immediately closed his eyes, as his face turned pale while he did so.

The door was pushed open, and Xiao Gen stood at the entrance.

He saw Anning holding Xiao Yuan’s hand, singing with closed eyes.

The spiritual song reverberated throughout the room, making the lying Xiao Yuan seem exceptionally peaceful.

Xiao Gen just stood at the door, waiting until Anning finished her song, and then asked, ”Miss Cui, thank you for your hard work. How’s my brother?”

Anning stood up, ”The same as always.”

”Is that so? I was hoping with Miss Cui here, my brother would get better.”

Xiao Gen seemed quite upset, ”It seems my hope was too big.”

”Try not to be too sad.”

As Anning and Xiao Gen walked out, she spoke, ”If he can be more comfortable like this, maybe he can last a little longer.”

Xiao Gen nodded, ”Still, thank you very much.”
