The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Luo Anqing followed the Li family’s team, taking steps forward.

She hadn’t eaten anything since morning, and by afternoon, she was already dizzy from hunger.

Chunniang seemed to deliberately make things difficult for her, not allowing anyone to give her food and constantly ordering her around.

When she married, the servants she brought clearly saw this, yet none of them helped her; their hearts now sided with Chunniang.

Luo Anqing used to resent these servants for not being loyal enough and helping Chunniang humiliate her.

Now she understood what was happening.

She realized these servants were also controlled by Chunniang with poisonous insects, making them loyal only to her. Even if Chunniang ordered them to die, they wouldn’t have any complaints.

Knowing this, she no longer harbored resentment.

The sun in the sky was strong, the sunlight fiercely hot, causing Luo Anqing to feel dizzy and disoriented.

Her lips were chapped, and she was both hungry and thirsty, wanting to eat just about anything.

But she had to endure.

She couldn’t show any signs of abnormality.

This group consisted entirely of Chunniang’s people. If Chunniang noticed anything off about her, she might kill her or give her a more potent poisonous insect.

Luo Anqing kept encouraging herself to endure it until she returned to Yang City home, where she wouldn’t have to fear Chunniang anymore.

The sun was too intense, and even Chunniang felt a bit hot, so she let everyone stop for a break.

Luo Anqing also took the opportunity to find a place to rest.

As soon as she lowered herself, she saw Cong Zhongbai entering a small grove nearby.

Luo Anqing quickly got up and followed him.

A maid called after her: ”Where are you going?”

Luo Anqing whispered: ”Just need a moment.”

The maid ignored her.

Luo Anqing entered the woods, checked her surroundings to ensure no one was around, and called out: ”Mr. Cong.”

Cong Zhongbai appeared from behind a tree.

He handed her a water pouch.

Luo Anqing took it and started gulping down water.

Cong Zhongbai felt a bit sorry for her: ”Drink slower, don’t choke. I’ll quietly follow you from now on, bringing you food and drink at night, and keeping you safe.”

Luo Anqing drank the water and returned the pouch to him: ”Thank you, sir. Anqing will never forget your kindness.”

Cong Zhongbai waved his hand: ”Just fulfilling a request.”

He handed her an oil-paper package: ”Eat up. Don’t let your body get worn down.”

Luo Anqing thanked him and took it.

Inside was half a roasted chicken, a still-warm steamed bun, and two pieces of pastry.

She took out the pastries, wrapped them up, and put them in her wallet, then ate a chicken leg with the bun until she was almost full.

”Sir, this...”

Luo Anqing couldn’t eat half a chicken, leaving quite a bit.

Cong Zhongbai took it and ate a few bites: ”I’ll eat the rest.”

Luo Anqing thought about the chicken she’d just eaten, feeling her face grow warm, quickly bowing her head: ”Sir, I’ll take my leave now; otherwise, Chunniang will surely send someone to find me.”

”Then you should go.”

Cong Zhongbai looked up and smiled: ”Be careful.”

In the evening, Cong Zhongbai quietly brought food to Luo Anqing again.

Luo Anqing hid away to eat a bit, saving the rest for the morning.

She thought fortunately Yang City wasn’t far away; otherwise, she feared she couldn’t endure much longer.

Previously, she was controlled by poisonous insects, living in a daze, without too much suffering.

But now she was awake, how could she tolerate Chunniang’s daily arrogance and humiliation? Every time she remembered Li Pengcheng and Chunniang teaming up to manipulate her, she wished she could kill them both.

Her good life had been thoroughly ruined by those two despicable people.

Whenever Luo Anqing thought of these things, she felt both hate and distress, and she secretly shed tears several times.

In the evening, Xiao Yuan visited the Luo family again, entering Anning’s room.

Anning had already sent the maids away, waiting alone inside.

She saw Xiao Yuan come in and immediately pulled him to sit down, handing him the grilled fish she made at night: ”Try this, it’s really delicious.”

”Okay.”

Xiao Yuan took it and took a few bites: ”It tastes really good, no wonder you keep thinking about it.”

At this time, He Ji, along with Hong Yue, Gui Jiang, and other demons, had just entered the Yang City Mansion.

When they got near the Yao family, Hong Yue suddenly stopped: ”I seem to sense Brother Hei’s presence.”

He Ji also paused to sense it.

”It’s Black Flood Dragon’s aura.”

”Quick, let’s go.”

Hei Hu looked anxious.

So a group of demons followed Black Flood Dragon’s aura to the Luo family.

They arrived outside Anning’s door, where Hei Hu saw Anning and Xiao Yuan each holding a piece of grilled meat, gnawing on it.

The aura from Black Flood Dragon was emanating from those two pieces of grilled meat.

”Father.”

Hei Hu saw his father’s remains eaten and grilled, he was utterly heartbroken and couldn’t stop crying.

”Quick, eat up.”

Anning swallowed the meat in her hand, urging Xiao Yuan: ”The meat snatchers are here.”

Xiao Yuan chuckled, taking big bites to swallow the meat.

He Ji and the others stormed in, furious.

Anning calmly clapped her hands and stood up.

She took a glance, unable to hold back a smile.

Xiao Yuan saw the demons and smiled too.

Truly the heavens had a path they didn’t take, and hell had no door, yet they came crashing in.

Anning cheerfully told Xiao Yuan: ”Darling, we were just talking about lobster earlier, and now it’s been delivered to us.”

”I’ll kill you.”

Hei Hu couldn’t hold back; his mouth transformed into a fish-like form, a large mouth wanting to devour Anning.

”Get out.”

Xiao Yuan’s face turned stern as he shouted, causing Hei Hu to instantly shrink, his entire body transforming into a small black fish, dropping into the yard, struggling without being able to revert to human form.

He Ji and the others were shocked.

They hadn’t expected the man inside to be so powerful, able to force Hei Hu to revert to his original form with just a shout.

”Who are you?”

He Ji stepped forward and asked: ”My brother had no enmity with you, why did you kill him?”

Anning walked over with a smile: ”Why can’t I kill him? Fish are meant to be eaten, why can’t I eat them? Survival of the fittest, nature’s law, I’m strong, so I can kill him; besides, haven’t you eaten fewer humans yourselves? If you can eat humans, why can’t I eat you?”

She looked at He Ji: ”Oh, you’re quite good-looking for a River Clam Spirit, must be delicious.”

Anning turned to Xiao Yuan and smiled: ”Darling, should we make soup or steam them?”

”Up to you.”

Xiao Yuan laughed, standing up.

He Ji was furious beyond measure: ”What a little wretch, today I won’t teach you a lesson...”

Before she could finish, Anning stepped forward and punched He Ji to the ground: ”You know, villains always die from talking too much.”

Seeing He Ji suffering, Hong Yue said to Gui Jiang, Lian Qingqing, and Huang Liu: ”Let’s attack together to avenge Brother Hei.”
