The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

For several consecutive days, Qin Xiaocong would suffer some minor injuries almost daily; if he wasn’t getting bumped while playing basketball, then he was being knocked down on the road by someone, and once, while passing by a place, he was almost hit by something falling from above. Though he wasn’t hit, in his attempt to dodge the heavy object, he fell and got a lot of scrapes.

This made Anning and Xiao Yuan alert.

Xiao Yuan not only got a peace charm for Qin Xiaocong but, in order to ensure his safety, personally picked him up and dropped him off every day.

During these pick-ups and drop-offs, Xiao Yuan spotted Sun Hong’s tracks.

That day, Xiao Yuan called Xiao Lu back home and talked with her for quite some time in the study. Later, Xiao Lu took leave from school.

Xiao Yuan took Xiao Lu out for a period, and during this time, Anning picked up and dropped off the children every day.

Sun Hong stalked Qin Xiaocong for several consecutive days, and upon realizing that Anning was picking up and dropping off Qin Xiaocong, he planned to eliminate this mother and child duo together.

However, Sun Hong did not expect that after putting in so much effort and using so many evil magical techniques, he still couldn’t cause any harm to Anning and Qin Xiaocong.

This made Sun Hong fearful.

He wondered, has Xiao Lu’s mystical technique advanced so much? In less than a year, the peace charm made by Xiao Lu could resist even the evil magic he only recently cultivated?

Little did he know, when it comes to mastery of mysticism, Anning was unparalleled in this world.

Just as Sun Hong was contemplating retreat and finding another place to continue his cultivation.

He was cornered by Xiao Yuan and Xiao Lu.

The place where Sun Hong was cornered was a secluded residence in the suburbs, his current resting place, which Xiao Yuan and Xiao Lu had exerted considerable effort to discover.

”How did you find me?”

Sun Hong was somewhat scared, retreating several steps, warily watching Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan sneered, ”You wanted to kill my son, can I not come to settle accounts with you?”

Xiao Lu also glared at Sun Hong with a cold expression, ”Out of your selfish desires, you swapped newborn me into the Zhang Family, and even took the Xiao Family’s ancestral treasure. Now you want to harm my whole family; why can’t we retaliate?”

As Xiao Lu was speaking, Xiao Yuan advanced forward, striking Sun Hong with a palm.

Meanwhile, Xiao Lu bit her fingertip, using fresh blood to summon Xiao Family’s ancestral artifact.

Soon, an object resembling a compass emerged from Sun Hong’s body, spun a few circles in the air, joyfully leaping into Xiao Lu’s hand, affectionately nuzzling her palm.

”Mine...”

Sun Hong panicked, intending to snatch the compass back.

Xiao Yuan slapped the top of his head, ”Audacious!”

Sun Hong felt pain not just in his body, but his soul trembled painfully.

”What did you do to me?”

Ignoring Xiao Lu, he turned and angrily glared at Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan chuckled, ”Retrieve everything you acquired from our Xiao Family.”

Sun Hong felt a coldness gradually spreading inside him, something flowing out of his body, while the compass in Xiao Lu’s hand began absorbing the energy and spiritual power within him.

After a long time, the compass let out a satisfied belch, then concealed itself within Xiao Lu’s body.

Xiao Yuan glanced back, witnessing a glowing halo blazing around Xiao Lu.

He knew, this was the Xiao Family treasure recognizing its master, truly illuminating the female protagonist’s halo within Xiao Lu. From then on, Xiao Lu’s path would be increasingly smooth, everything she attempted would succeed, overcoming difficulties with ease, and cultivation techniques would advance rapidly.

Xiao Yuan smiled lightly, without looking at Sun Hong again, quickly leaving with Xiao Lu.

”Dad, why did you still spare Sun Hong’s life?”

Xiao Yuan smiled, patting Xiao Lu’s head, ”His fate will be dealt with by the heavens, not ours to claim.”

Huh?

Xiao Lu didn’t quite understand.

Xiao Yuan sighed, ”Sometimes, living can be more unbearable than dying.”

He explained thoroughly to Xiao Lu, ”Sun Hong previously committed numerous evils, he should have faced retribution, but possessing our Xiao Family’s ancestral artifact, the compass concealed heavenly secrets, shielding him from countless dangers. The compass had long grown weary of Sun Hong, yearning to leave him, yet Sun Hong forced it to recognize him as the master. Unless someone extraordinary appeared within the Xiao Family bloodline, the compass couldn’t leave Sun Hong. But now, the compass has automatically recognized you as the master. Without the protective artifact, Sun Hong’s reckoning will soon arrive. For every evil committed, there will be equivalent retribution, when that time comes, he will live a life worse than death.”
