The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 1241 - 1214: Behind the Mary Sue 13

Anning swept away all the treasures Xiao He had painstakingly saved over the years.

She left Xiao Family with the Storage Bag, without disturbing anything, directly passing through walls.

As for whether Xiao He would make a fuss upon discovering his treasures were gone, Anning couldn’t care less.

Anyway, no matter how the Xiao Family thought of it, they wouldn’t suspect a young girl like her.

Anning returned to the Zhu Family with the Storage Bag, without delay, and entered the ancestral land the next day holding the Identity Jade.

Indeed, the Zhu Family ancestral land had quite a few good things, among them a large Starry Sky Stone for making space equipment.

Anning entered the ancestral land with intentions for that Starry Sky Stone.

When she entered, there was no one else in the Zhu Family ancestral land, so Anning quickly found the Starry Sky Stone and quietly chipped off a piece when no one noticed.

She took this piece of Starry Sky Stone to the Book Collection Tower.

There were even fewer people in the Book Collection Tower.

Anning scanned around with her Divine Sense, found a spot that wouldn’t easily be noticed, then settled in to make space equipment using the Starry Sky Stone.

Anning had added a Spatial Array to the Storage Bag, so it could hold the stolen items from the Xiao Family, but the material of the Storage Bag was not good enough, it could not withstand the overbearing Space Law for long, only three to five days, after which the Storage Bag would be damaged.

Anning needed to create a sturdier piece of space equipment to replace the Storage Bag before it broke down.

Fortunately, she was adept at making various space equipment, so it was quite easy for her.

Anning spent two days making a Space Ring, and after it was completed, she refined it to establish ownership, and added an invisibility law.

A Space Ring doesn’t require much Starry Sky Stone, the piece Anning had chipped off was quite large, so after making one Space Ring and transferring the items from the Storage Bag into it, she used the remaining Starry Sky Stone to make another Space Ring.

Her Space Ring and the later one had the same floral design, but hers was smaller, the later one was larger, and clearly they were a pair of rings for a man and a woman.

Anning happily held the Space Rings and admired them for a while, then placed the later one in her space to give to Xiao Yuan when she meets him.

With troubles behind her, Anning started looking at the Zhu Family’s collection of books.

Indeed, although the Zhu Family was just a small noble family in Sifang City, ranking low in Dongling Continent, it had some heritage.

The Book Collection Tower had some good Cultivation Techniques, and lots of books related to cultivation.

Anning selected and read some good ones, and just when she had read enough useful books, the Family Head Zhu sent her a message to come out.

Thinking something was amiss at home, Anning left the ancestral land taking the Jade Token.

After coming out, she went to see the Family Head Zhu, who instead asked her to see Mrs. Zhu.

Anning proceeded to the main house to pay her respects to Mrs. Zhu.

When she arrived, Mrs. Zhu was laughing and chatting with Zhu An Yue, and several large chests were placed, with dresses draped over chairs.

Upon seeing Anning, Mrs. Zhu waved her over with a smile, "Ningning is here, we’re picking accessories for you and your elder sister, come and see which style you like."

Smiling, Anning approached, seeing all the chests were filled with clothes and accessories.

There were garments in various styles and a chest filled with boxes, containing ornaments.

An Yue donned a bright red dress and showed it to Anning: "How does this look to my sister?"

"Beautiful."

Anning complimented with a smile: "Makes the elder sister’s aura better, and her complexion more fair."

An Yue proudly replied, "Since my sister says it’s good, I’ll wear it to Old Madam Liu’s tomorrow."

An Yue took Anning’s hand, "Sister, quickly pick a dress too."

Anning looked for a while and picked an apricot-yellow dress, and selected a few other accessories.

Seeing Anning chose the apricot-yellow dress, An Yue nodded with satisfaction.

Actually, among the clothes in those chests, the most beautiful was the purple dress, An Yue intentionally didn’t wear it, opting for the red dress to test Anning.

She wanted to see if Anning had any ambition.

If Anning chose the purple one, An Yue would do everything possible to eliminate Anning.

After all, purple is the most noble color, more valuable than red, representing supreme status.

If Anning selected the purple dress, it would show she wanted to surpass An Yue.

An Yue was the legitimate daughter and would never tolerate such thoughts from Anning.

By that time, regardless of Anning’s cultivation level, An Yue would create obstacles for Anning, resolving to take Anning’s life.

In the back chambers, An Yue had more advantages than Anning.

Her mother was the legitimate wife, managing the Zhu family’s affairs, making it easy to trouble a concubine’s daughter like Anning.

Anning understood An Yue’s intentions.

She’s not afraid of An Yue, it’s just that she prefers to avoid unnecessary troubles.

Rather than fighting with An Yue, she’d better use the time to win over some Zhu family branches.

Mrs. Zhu was also pleased with Anning’s choice of apricot-yellow, she picked a few more sets for Anning and gave her several boxes of ornaments before letting her leave.

Anning took the items to see Aunt Feng, seeking information from her.

She handed the box of ornaments to Aunt Feng, then asked upon sitting down, "Mother, do you know about the Liu family matters?"

Aunt Feng hesitated for a moment, recalling, then said, "I know a bit, tomorrow is Old Dowager Liu’s 200th birthday, Madam will certainly attend to celebrate, probably bringing you along since she gave you clothes and accessories. When you go, don’t stand out, just stay quietly with Madam."

Anning nodded, "Rest assured, Mother, I understand."

Aunt Feng thought for a while and added, "There’s something else, Old Dowager Liu has a daughter married to the Zeng Family, who bore an extremely talented child for Zeng Family. That child is now the Elder Brother at Purple Sun Sword Sect, and is highly regarded by the Sect Leader. It’s said he might attend Old Madam Liu’s birthday too, so be careful if you encounter anyone."

Having heard a lot about the Liu family from Aunt Feng, Anning kept it all in mind.

Regarding Liu family’s grandson, Anning knew far more than Aunt Feng.

After all, in the original owner’s memory, she had suffered many times under this Zeng Cheng, enduring great hardship.

This time going to Liu family, Anning hoped to encounter Zeng Cheng, planning to avenge the original owner.

The next morning, Anning got up early.

After rising, she began to change her clothes, dressing up.

She didn’t dress meticulously, simply changing into new clothes, styling her hair in a simple updo, and wearing the simplest ornaments Mrs. Zhu gifted her. Regardless, as she turned back with a radiant smile, the maids were nearly bewitched.

Anning went with the maids to Mrs. Zhu’s room to wait, only boarding the Zhu family flying car after Mrs. Zhu and An Yue had finished dressing and styling.
