The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 823 - 804: Strongest Fox Spirit 4

Xiao Yuan emerged from the cave mansion after Anning had gone to sleep.

As he came out, he saw the Tongtian Sect Leader waiting for him at a short distance.

"Senior Brother."

Xiao Yuan quickly walked over.

The Tongtian Sect Leader glanced at Xiao Yuan: "Follow me."

He led Xiao Yuan into the hall, where the two of them sat cross-legged facing each other.

With a wave of his hand, the Tongtian Sect Leader conjured a chessboard before them, picking up a black piece and placing it on the board.

Xiao Yuan smiled and picked up a white piece.

"Junior Brother, all these years you’ve been alone, never taking a disciple, and aside from us brothers, you’ve never been close to anyone. You were already detached from worldly affairs, so why insist on intervening this time?"

The Tongtian Sect Leader’s voice was cool and ethereal, as if coming from another world.

Xiao Yuan’s smile, however, was warm and delightful: "I understand Senior Brother’s meaning, but after thousands of years of friendship, how can I watch my seniors fall into calamity and do nothing?"

"They are part of the chess game, and Junior Brother needn’t intervene."

The Tongtian Sect Leader placed another piece.

Xiao Yuan laid down his white piece: "Since I came into this world, avoiding it is impossible, so I might as well stir up the situation; perhaps there’s a slim chance for survival."

The Tongtian Sect Leader shook his head: "Junior Brother still won’t heed advice."

Xiao Yuan looked at the Tongtian Sect Leader seriously: "Our seniors have always acted in accordance with the Heavenly Dao, but this time, I want to act against it. If Senior Brother can’t tolerate this, then I’ll simply leave the Biyou Palace."

With resignation, the Tongtian Sect Leader tossed his piece: "Fine, fine, have it your way. Whatever you want to do, go ahead. As Senior Brother, I can still back you up."

"Thank you, Senior Brother."

Xiao Yuan bowed in respect.

He had been in the Primordial World for eons, spending countless years with The Three Pure Ones, sharing a deeply affectionate bond among the four brothers.

Though The Three Pure Ones might seem indifferent and aloof, their underlying emotions are profoundly strong.

Moreover, they are very protective of Xiao Yuan, their little junior brother.

Xiao Yuan, feeling grateful for their kindness, always wanted to help The Three Pure Ones avoid the next great tribulation of Heaven and Earth. With Anning coming this time, Xiao Yuan felt more confident.

He knew that when it came to understanding the Heavenly Dao Laws, Anning might be even more profound than him. If Anning were to help, there might be a chance of success.

Furthermore, Anning was already in the chess game this time. If she didn’t want to be a mere pawn at the mercy of others, then she’d have to be the player controlling the game.

Whether for the bond with The Three Pure Ones or the endless marital ties with Anning, Xiao Yuan could not stand idly by.

Anning woke up from her slumber, feeling extremely refreshed all over.

It seemed that the elixir Xiao Yuan had given her was really effective; it had healed her injuries and incidentally boosted her cultivation.

Anning got up and slowly walked out of the cave mansion.

She rubbed her stomach, feeling a bit hungry.

After wandering around the outside of the cave mansion, she didn’t find anything to eat. Anning then remembered that Xiao Yuan probably didn’t need to eat anymore, so his cave mansion definitely wouldn’t have food.

With a sigh, Anning decided to look elsewhere.

She was naturally very curious about the Biyou Palace. At this moment, she might as well search for food while touring the Biyou Palace.

She walked at a brisk pace, using the "Shrinking Ground to Inch" spell, and soon passed the boundary of the cave mansion, finding a scene filled with exotic flowers and grasses along the way, and various immortal birds and beasts galloping among the flowers and grasses, creating a landscape that was truly breathtaking.

Before long, Anning found a patch of orchard with all kinds of Immortal Fruits like Flat Peaches, red fruits, and various fruits filled with Spiritual Energy.

Anning was genuinely fond of what she saw and went directly over to pick the fruits.

But before her hand could reach out, she froze.

Not far away, a disciple of unknown generation with a human body and a beast head was relieving himself in the open.

Uh?

Anning quickly turned around.

The person had already noticed Anning, letting out a muffled hum from his mouth.

Anning quickly said, "Fellow Daoist, I accidentally intruded here, I didn’t see anything, please... please continue."

She was ready to leave, but the person caught up in a few steps.

That person appraised Anning: "Are you a newly accepted disciple? I haven’t seen you before."

Anning turned and glanced at him: "I was picked up by Wuyun Immortal and currently residing in Immortal Venerable Xiao Yuan’s cave mansion."

"Oh."

The person nodded in acknowledgment: "So you’re little junior sister. Hello, little junior sister. Could it be that little junior sister wants to pick some fruits? Ah, you’re so adorable and small, how could you manage to reach these fruits? Let senior brother help you pick them."

With a wave of his hand, the person quickly had his arms full of fruits of all kinds, piled high up.

"Little junior sister, quickly accept these. If you’re hungry, just munch on one. Though Biyou Palace can’t boast of much else, there sure are plenty of fruits. Whenever you want something to eat, just tell us seniors, we’ll make sure you have your fill."

"Oh."

Anning put all these fruits into her storage bag and thanked him: "Thank you, Senior Brother. May I know Senior Brother’s name?"

"Me? I’m called Dong Ming."

The person casually replied, pulling up his pants: "Senior Brother has something to do first, sister, take your time."

Anning responded again, and after Dong Ming left, she took out a fruit, found a place with water to wash it clean, and sat on the ground to munch.

No doubt, the fruits of Biyou Palace were truly delectable. After eating one, Anning felt filled with strength.

After eating, Anning no longer felt as hungry, and she walked, munching a fruit as she went. The more she walked, the more speechless she became.

To speak of it, after the Tongtian Sect Leader took on disciples, he really doesn’t manage much. Many disciples in the later generations were simply left to be taught by Duo Bao Daoist, who was so busy teaching on behalf of his master that he barely had time to manage many third and fourth-generation disciples.

And the Tongtian Sect Leader didn’t choose disciples based on their origins; he’d take anyone who seemed decent enough.

Biyou Palace really had all kinds of beings in it, such as tigers, elephants, sika deer, rabbits, pheasants, turtles... To Anning, Biyou Palace was like an unmanaged zoo.

Looking at it on the surface, Biyou Palace appeared filled with birdsong and the fragrance of flowers, but behind the scenes, all kinds of little demons relieved themselves wherever they pleased. These demons lacked human propriety, acting as they wished, truly...

No wonder during the Sealing God Tribulation the Jie Sect suffered the most losses; each one used to acting freely, wasn’t it inevitable that they’d cause great harm?

After taking a few more steps, Anning saw two Jie Sect disciples fighting over a fruit nearby. Elsewhere, a few disciples were brawling over mere words and pride. In another spot, a newly humanized little demon was squatting over there for a bowel movement.

Anning blinked, and found she couldn’t bear to watch any longer.

She clenched her fists, thinking she might discuss with Xiao Yuan later, as things couldn’t go on like this.

Since the Tongtian Sect Leader wanted to take disciples, and had taken so many, he shouldn’t just leave them be like this.

He couldn’t leave these disciples and grandchildren scattered freely without any management; any place needs rules and regulations.

Anning pondered as she headed back to the cave mansion, thinking about making Biyou Palace resemble a school, establish school rules, and require all disciples here to memorize and abide by them.

Besides school buildings, there should be toilets, with separate facilities for males and females, and additionally, a dining hall should be built.

Also, these demons possess great energy; just having classes isn’t enough. They need a place to exert themselves, with sports events and sports meet set up, and arenas where those with grievances can resolve them, providing entertainment for everyone too.

Anning had once been a national-level special-grade teacher, having taught many excellent graduates who became elites in various fields after graduation. In terms of teaching, Anning was unfaltering.

As it was, when Anning reached the cave mansion, she already had a rough plan in mind.
