The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 885: Chapter 863: Interstellar Superstar 33

Anning went downstairs, talked with the bodyguards for a while, and then asked Cui Zhengxun to arrange accommodations for them.

She returned to the room and had a conversation with Cui Anlin.

”Brother, I can’t participate in that variety show anymore. You should tell Xiao Lian that I probably can’t show our affection this time, and she should find someone else for it.”

Anning straightforwardly told Cui Anlin, ignoring his expression, and directly cut off the communicator.

Cui Anlin was so angry he wanted to hit someone.

Damn Cui Anning, not saying anything sooner or later, choosing this time to drop out of the show. She must have done it on purpose.

No matter how angry Cui Anlin was, he still told Fang Xiaolian about it.

Fang Xiaolian expressed understanding and wasn’t upset.

In fact, she had already thought of it. Anning’s display probably made the Insect Clan hate her to death. In the future, Anning would likely face many assassination attempts, and the Alliance would definitely send people to protect her, preventing her from appearing in unsafe places.

”Anlin, this isn’t Sister Ning’s fault. After all, it’s the Alliance’s military sending people to protect her. What can she do? Rest assured, I understand it all, and I’m not upset.”

Fang Xiaolian comforted Cui Anlin with a smile, showing a generous and gentle demeanor.

Cui Anlin was quite touched, feeling Fang Xiaolian to be very empathetic.

Xiao Family

Xiao Gen’s vacation was over, and soon he’d return to Raya Star.

He once again walked into Xiao Yuan’s room.

Xiao Yuan was still lying quietly on the bed without any movement, but his complexion had improved a lot, not looking as deathly pale as before.

Xiao Gen stood by the bed for a long time, reached out and wanted to touch the instrument placed next to the bed, but after stretching out his hand for a while, he pulled it back without touching the instrument.

He took a deep breath and softly said to Xiao Yuan, ”Take care.”

After leaving Xiao Yuan’s room, Xiao Gen leaned against the corridor wall, a faint smile on his lips, somewhat relaxed, somewhat relieved.

After he left, Xiao Yuan opened his eyes.

He looked at the ceiling for a long time and then smiled.

So, it was like this.

In his past memories, Xiao Gen had killed him, such behavior was truly vile and unnecessary.

After all, at that time, he was half-dead, and many healers had said there was no hope.

Xiao Gen didn’t need to do anything extra, he would’ve been done for. Even if he could wake up, his spiritual power had already shattered, almost like a cripple.

Xiao Gen had already gotten everything he wanted, why still go so far as to hurt him?

Xiao Yuan just couldn’t figure this out, feeling it was very abnormal and unreasonable.

But now he understood.

Turns out, this was all a plot by the Insect Clan.

Xiao Gen must have come into contact with a parasitic Insect Clan member or a humanoid insect, and his mind had been bewitched, leading to those actions.

When he killed Xiao Yuan, the Insect Clan must have recorded it, to use against him in the future.

Perhaps, in many things later on, Xiao Gen was blackmailed with this handle, leading to more and more mistakes, until he was in too deep to get out.

Now, Anning’s piece ”Ten Sides Ambush” awakened many who were bewitched by the Insect Clan.

Xiao Gen, he’s become much clearer, albeit not yet fully conscious.

Xiao Gen was jealous of Xiao Yuan, but Xiao Yuan was, after all, his elder brother. He hadn’t lost his mind completely to actually harm an already seemingly dying brother, and perhaps, even if Xiao Yuan hadn’t been crippled, Xiao Gen wouldn’t have harmed him. His heart wasn’t so vicious, nor so cold-blooded.

Xiao Yuan remained lost in thought for a long time.

Meanwhile, Anning was in a conversation with the Alliance’s leader.

The leader of the Alliance expressed a desire to purchase the rights to Anning’s piece ”Ten Sides Ambush” in the name of the Alliance, hoping to broadcast it throughout the entire Alliance to uncover more hidden Insect Clan spies among humans.

Anning agreed with a smile, ”I agree.”

Then, when the official responsible for procurement from the Headquarters contacted Anning to discuss the price, Anning quoted an unexpected price: ”One Star Coin, I want one Star Coin for this piece.”

The procurement officer paused, then stood up and saluted Anning, ”Ms. Cui, on behalf of the people of the Alliance, I thank you.”

Anning smiled and said, ”I will record and deliver it to you as soon as possible. I hope it won’t be long before ’Ten Sides Ambush’ can be heard on every planet in the Alliance.”

”Sure.”

The procurement officer agreed with a smile.

Once Anning had made a promise, she naturally had to fulfill it promptly.

She took two days to recover her spiritual power and another day to record the piece.

When recording the piece, Anning also used a lot of spiritual power, and after the recording, she was not feeling well at all.

Li Wanwan and Cui Zhengxun felt incredibly heartache but couldn’t ask Anning not to record, so they tried all sorts of ways to find restorative medicine and supplements for spiritual power for Anning.

After handing over the piece to the Headquarters, Anning continued to live-stream.

Apart from live-streaming every day, she also made teaching videos.

Thanks to Anning’s ”Ten Sides Ambush,” a craze for learning the Lute swept through the Alliance.

At the same time, ”Ten Sides Ambush” resonated in every corner of the Alliance.

More and more Insect Clan spies were rooted out, more people returned to normal, and more of the Zao Clan’s conspiracies were uncovered.

At this time, another small-scale battle between humans and the Insect Clan broke out on Raya Star.

Marshal Xiao had long been prepared, and as soon as the war started, special robots quickly live-streamed the war.

Everyone in the Alliance who had time watched this live broadcast.

Anning was watching, Cui Anlin and his classmates were watching, and Fang Xiaolian was no exception.

Fang Xiaolian, watching the magnificent towering mecha on Raya Star, felt immense pride in her heart.

But she also recalled an incident that happened a few days ago, feeling another wave of sadness and guilt.

She had been bewitched by the Insect Clan, almost doing something irreversible.

Now, Fang Xiaolian knew Eric was a humanoid insect.

Because a few days ago, while in a conversation with Eric, the music of ”Ten Sides Ambush” suddenly played, and through the Star Network, Fang Xiaolian witnessed a transformation show. Afterward, she vomited until she passed out, almost dying, leaving a particularly severe psychological shadow.

Fang Xiaolian also realized why Eric wanted her to write stories about human-insect love stories.

He wanted to numb humans, to make those naive young girls develop affection and admiration for humanoid insects.

Fortunately.

At this moment, Fang Xiaolian was especially grateful that Anning came up with ”Ten Sides Ambush,” truly capturing and exposing the Insect Clan spies. Otherwise, she felt that she would have definitely done something irretrievable, and by then, she would have been an eternal disgrace to humanity.

Although Fang Xiaolian sometimes had petty thoughts, acted a bit like a green tea girl, got jealous, and had her flaws, she never strayed from the greater national interest.

If Eric had succeeded...

Fang Xiaolian shuddered to think.

Watching the videos transmitted from Raya Star now, Fang Xiaolian was filled with complex emotions.

When all the mechas assembled, the sky turned dark as a swarm of insect aliens soon flew in. These were mosquito-like monsters, referred to by humans as long-nosed mosquitoes. Long-nosed mosquitoes were much larger than mosquitoes, with larvae about the size of a fist, and adults growing to the length of an arm. They had sharp and hard long noses that, when pierced through human skin, secreted a toxin causing instant death.

They fed on human flesh and blood.

Thousands of long-nosed mosquitoes swarmed, almost obscuring a patch of sky.

Fang Xiaolian felt her hair stand on end, her face drastically changing at such a disgusting and terrifying sight.

And long-nosed mosquitoes were just first-order insects; Fang Xiaolian dared not imagine what eighth-tier or ninth-tier Insect Clan members were like, just how terrifying and formidable.
