The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 889: Chapter 867: Interstellar Superstar 37

For several days in a row, Raya Star was surrounded by the Insect Clan.

The Insect Clan sent a message through Humanoid Insects to Raya Star, demanding the military hand over Anning, or they would let all the soldiers on Raya Star die in the mouths of the eighth-tier insects.

At this point, Xiao Yuan and the others realized why the Insect Clan was so crazily attacking Raya Star.

It turned out they wanted revenge on Anning.

After all, Anning caused the Insect Clan significant losses with just one performance of ”Ten Sides Ambush”; after so many years, their spies hidden among humans were almost all exposed, and the Insect Queen must deeply hate Anning.

The Insect Clan wanted to vent their anger on Anning, but the Alliance would certainly not allow it.

Anning is a citizen of the Alliance, and the Alliance’s responsibility is to protect the rights of its citizens. It won’t hand over its citizens because of the Insect Clan.

Moreover, Anning is the elite of the Alliance, a rare national treasure talent.

Would the Alliance hand over Anning only if it had gone mad?

Perhaps handing Anning over would bring temporary peace.

However, this would be a huge loss for the Alliance, even worse than losing several planets.

Regardless of Anning’s own situation, the act of the Alliance handing over talents who have contributed to the country would chill the hearts of countless elites within the Alliance. Who would dare devote themselves to the Alliance in the future?

No matter the reason, the Alliance would not let Anning suffer any harm.

The Alliance leader won’t hand over Anning, nor would Xiao Yuan.

All the soldiers on Raya Star wouldn’t hand over Anning just to save themselves.

Everyone was prepared for a desperate fight.

However, the following few days saw the Insect Clan surrounding Raya Star, simply surrounding without attacking, seemingly wanting the people of Raya Star to starve to death.

Five days later, the food on Raya Star was extremely scarce.

Fang Xiaolian was almost worried to death in the cooking squad.

In the past two days, she had tried every way to use the available materials to cook, but a clever housewife cannot cook without rice; despite all her ideas, they were close to running out of food.

Anning was constantly observing the environment on Raya Star and devising plans.

She also saw that the people on Raya Star were about to run out of food, and she devised a plan she wanted to try.

She called Xiao Yuan for help to capture a Residence Worm.

This type of worm is much larger than a cow, with a short temper and loves to cause destruction.

However, Anning thought the meat of Residence Worm should be especially delicious and tender, and she wanted to see if it was edible.

Xiao Yuan understood Anning’s idea and immediately led his team to pilot the mecha into the Insect Clan’s encirclement and captured several fourth-order Residence Worms.

Once captured, Xiao Yuan sent the Residence Worms to the rear.

It didn’t take long for the Residence Worms to arrive at the cooking squad.

Anning received the news and was waiting in the cooking squad early.

Fang Xiaolian was puzzled why Anning had come; she was scratching her head at the limited food in front of her.

When the Residence Worms arrived, Anning asked Fang Xiaolian, ”Do you know how to cook beef?”

Fang Xiaolian quickly nodded, ”I do, definitely! Do you want it stewed, roasted, fried, or maybe stir-fried?”

Anning smiled, took out a bamboo flute, and began to play a tune.

The delivered Residence Worms were still alive but injured, restricted from moving, circling in the cage.

As Anning played the flute, the Residence Worms calmed down.

After finishing one tune, Anning switched to another instrument and played another tune to soothe them further.

After playing, she said to the chefs, ”Go ahead and butcher them.”

Several robust chefs approached with weapons and quickly disassembled the Residence Worms using laser knives.

Anning laughed, ”Now we have something to eat.”

The chefs were shocked.

”No way, definitely can’t eat this; the Alliance tried eating Insect Clan before, but just one second-stage insect was fatal.”

Anning laughed, ”No worries this time, I have removed the violent essence from the Insect Clan’s body, now it can be eaten.”

Worried others might not believe her, she said to Fang Xiaolian, ”Didn’t you say you could cook? Make some roasted meat, I’ll try it myself.”

Someone wanted to stop her, but Anning said with a smile, ”If we don’t eat this, are we to starve?”

No one dared to stop her after that.

The head chef stood up, ”Ms. Cui, you are an elite of the Alliance, a rare talent; even for tasting, you shouldn’t do it, I am the head chef, let me try.”

Several others also volunteered to try the meat.

Meanwhile, Fang Xiaolian was already slicing and roasting meat.

She cut the beef into thin slices and grilled them on an iron plate.

Quickly, the rich aroma wafted through, the smell was truly wonderful.

When the meat was grilled medium-rare, Fang Xiaolian couldn’t resist tasting a piece.

Upon tasting, her eyes lit up, ”So delicious, better than any meat I’ve ever tasted, the texture is amazing and tender, you all should try.”

Everyone rushed forward, and before long, the plate of roasted meat Fang Xiaolian made was gone.

After eating Qi Beef, after an hour, none reported any discomfort; on the contrary, they felt a warm current flowing through their bodies, fatigue vanished, and everyone felt more energized.

Some with spiritual power felt an increase in their spiritual strength.

The body refinement folks felt physically improved.

To test if it was true, several chefs went outside to practice martial arts, and returning, their steps were lighter.

The head chef was curious, ”Ms. Cui, what happened?”

Anning laughed, ”I used music to remove harmful elements from the Insect Clan’s body, thus their meat is safe for us; the Insect has high intelligence, some possessing spiritual powers; their meat could enhance humanity’s constitution. Furthermore, with such delicious meat, can we bear to let it go?”

The head chef shook his head vigorously, ”Definitely not, absolutely not, we’ll eat, we’ll eat Insect Clan henceforth.”

Fang Xiaolian’s eyes brightened further, she told Anning, ”I’ve heard of Red Shrimp Insect, can Marshal Xiao capture some for us? I can cook that, braised, spicy, garlic-flavored, I can do it all.”

Anning thought of spicy crayfish, unable to help but salivate, ”Alright, I’ll contact them to catch some, but we should roast Qi Beef first to send it to the frontline soldiers.”

”Of course.”

The chefs, now with ingredients, were highly spirited.

They prepared large chunks of Qi Beef, marinated and roasted on fire, soon attracting soldiers on guard duty with the aroma.

Hungry soldiers quickly devoured a Residence Worm.

The head chef and cooks butchered the remaining ones; everyone was busy with butchering and roasting.

Just as the meat was ready, the Red Shrimp Insects were delivered.

Conveniently, the head chef instructed the soldiers who delivered Red Shrimp Insects to take the roasted meat, ensuring everyone ate well.

After eating several pieces of meat, Fang Xiaolian saw Red Shrimp Insects and her eyes sparkled, ”Spicy crayfish! Surely better and tastier than spicy crayfish.”

Anning began playing the Guqin, this time performing ”Spring River Flower Moon Night.”

During the melody, Anning infused spiritual power, modifying parts of the tune, injecting with new vitality.

Once ”Spring River Flower Moon Night” finished, the Red Shrimp Insects started to lull into a sleep.

Cooks began to butcher Red Shrimp Insects full of energy.

Fang Xiaolian instructed everyone to clean the Red Shrimp Insects well, then took a big pot to start preparing spicy Red Shrimp Insect.
