The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

In the front yard, the guests who came to offer their congratulations were full and some wanted to leave together.

These drunken people tried to leave Wu Family, but when they reached the gate, they couldn’t leave.

”What’s going on?”

A drunk man exerted all his strength to rush out, but he couldn’t get out no matter what. He sat down angrily and cursed, ”Damn it, what’s going on? Why can’t I get out? Xiao Cui from Tianxiang Building is still waiting for me.”

Those sober guests already noticed that something wasn’t right.

They turned back to look for Old Master Wu.

But they couldn’t find him anywhere.

With no choice, everyone had to grab the servants of Wu Family to ask what was happening.

Yet when they caught the servants to inquire, they found that these servants were dazed, looking like wooden dolls, not like living people.

As soon as they thought this, the scene changed in front of their eyes.

The originally bustling Wu Family suddenly became desolate and rundown.

The red-painted gates became half-collapsed, old wooden doors, the houses and ground covered with wild grass, and scattered with many bricks. Rats ran through the gaps.

The servants now appeared as corpses.

Their flesh was rotting, some had bloodstains on their chests, some turned into mummified bodies, and some were just skeletons.

”Ah!”

Many people screamed in fear.

”What’s going on?”

Nangong Shu and Mao Xiaoxiao heard the noise and quickly ran over to check.

Then everyone spoke one after another about these happenings.

As they spoke, Mao Xiaoxiao and Nangong Shu also noticed the anomalies in Wu Family.

They hurriedly ran to the backyard, planning to find out some crucial information there.

As a result, when they reached the backyard, they found that what was on the table wasn’t food and wine, but dead rats, rotten meat, maggots, and so on. Mao Xiaoxiao saw this and vomited uncontrollably.

Nangong Shu was also revolted.

He wanted to puke, but he had to take care of Mao Xiaoxiao first.

After Mao Xiaoxiao finished vomiting, she took out the Peach Wood Sword and some talismans.

She shouted loudly, ”Where is the evil ghost pretending, come out for Grandma!”

”Evil ghost, evil ghost...”

Upon hearing Mao Xiaoxiao say evil ghost, all the guests scattered in panic.

At this moment, Nangong Shu found that there were many among the guests who weren’t human, only a small portion were human.

He tugged on Mao Xiaoxiao and told her about this discovery.

Mao Xiaoxiao furrowed her brow, pondered for a long time, and suddenly changed her expression drastically.

”Oh no, this is the Deceit Realm.”

”What is the Deceit Realm?”

Nangong Shu didn’t understand and asked Mao Xiaoxiao curiously.

Mao Xiaoxiao was so scared that she couldn’t hold the Peach Wood Sword.

The Deceit Realm is a sudden eerie phenomenon, maybe a room, a tree, or even a city.

Once it appears, it’s difficult for anyone who encounters it to escape.

Anyone who enters the Deceit Realm will be annihilated, not just physically, but the Divine Soul will also be destroyed.

The Deceit Realm is extremely difficult for people to find and is an immortal and indestructible presence; even the State Preceptor can’t deal with it.

Nangong Shu heard about the Deceit Realm for the first time and was also terrified: ”Then what should we do?”

Mao Xiaoxiao only heard her father mention the Deceit Realm before, she had never seen it herself, and now she was so scared she was about to cry: ”I can only try to see if we can get out. Until now, we don’t even know what the Deceit Realm really is. We can only try to break through with talisman papers. If we get out of Wu Family, we might have a chance to live.”

”Let’s try.”

Nangong Shu didn’t know what to do either, he could only rely on Mao Xiaoxiao.

Seated on the wall, watching the commotion, Xiao Yuan and Anning had smiles on their faces.

Xiao Yuan said softly, ”They’re not too foolish, they at least know this is the Deceit Realm.”

Anning was playing with a bunch of wild grass in her hand: ”Once they leave Wu Family, they’ll realize how naive they still are.”

Since entering the town, Xiao Yuan and Anning had already discovered the unusualness of this town, knowing full well that the entire town was a Deceit Realm.

The one controlling or rather the rules of the Deceit Realm rested with Miss Wu.

Anyone who offended Miss Wu would be annihilated by the Deceit Realm.

Today, among those congratulating Wu Family, those who were alive were basically the ones who offended Miss Wu. Even if they escape Wu Family, they won’t be able to leave the town, as those who manage to escape will die on the road.

Because they are marked by the Deceit Realm.

However, Anning and Xiao Yuan and everyone from Luo Family and Cong Family were unmarked.

Because everyone had behaved and apart from Anning and Xiao Yuan, no one had watched the commotion or spoken rudely to Old Master Wu or Miss Wu.

Since their own people were fine, Anning and Xiao Yuan wouldn’t meddle.

After all, something like the Deceit Realm is best left unprovoked, as provoking it would bring a lifetime of unrest.

In the yard, Mao Xiaoxiao smeared heart blood on the Peach Wood Sword.

Holding the sword in one hand, she pulled Nangong Shu and ran outside.

Soon, she and Nangong Shu ran out of Wu Family.

But before she could rejoice, she found that the street outside Wu Family was also unusual.

Mao Xiaoxiao’s expression drastically changed, ”The entire town is a Deceit Realm, I’ve never seen anything like this.”

She took out many talisman papers and scattered them, hoping to find a way out.

Once the talisman papers were scattered, the street before her changed.

The whole street turned into wilderness, filled with graves. Standing here, one could hear crows calling and see stray dogs fleeing.

Mao Xiaoxiao looked into the distance.

Suddenly, she saw Anning and Xiao Yuan.

”Brother Xiao.”

Mao Xiaoxiao was delighted and shouted at Xiao Yuan: ”Brother Xiao, this Deceit Realm is really powerful, why don’t we join forces to get out?”

Xiao Yuan smiled and took Anning’s hand: ”No need.”

”We must, we must.”

Mao Xiaoxiao tried hard to please Xiao Yuan: ”One person’s wisdom is short, two people’s wisdom is long. The more people, the greater the power, don’t you agree?”

Nangong Shu was also agreeable: ”Brother Xiao, now is the time for everyone to work together. Only if we pool our efforts can we possibly survive, otherwise...”

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw that Xiao Yuan and Anning had disappeared holding hands.

Mao Xiaoxiao frowned: ”Could this be an illusion too?”

Nangong Shu didn’t know whether it was reality or illusion either.

Where did Anning and Xiao Yuan go?

They went to Miss Wu’s room.

In the exquisite and luxurious room, Miss Wu sat at the dressing table, carefully painting her eyebrows with a gentle smile.

Anning and Xiao Yuan suddenly appeared, and Miss Wu was a bit surprised.

”You two haven’t offended me, I won’t trouble you, please go ahead.”

Miss Wu’s smile disappeared, she stood facing Xiao Yuan and Anning, with a look of apprehension.
