The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 1245 - 1218: Behind the Mary Sue 17

Xiao Qing carried Xiao Yuan on his back and finally climbed over the Four-direction Mountain.

After crossing the Four-direction Mountain, there was another tall mountain, but there were many fierce beasts in this mountain, and there was also a place called the Evil Abyss, where people generally dared not venture.

Xiao Qing had no other choice and brought Xiao Yuan here.

Xiao Qing didn’t dare to go deep into the mountain; he found a cave on the outskirts upon entering, then he and Xiao Yuan expanded the cave and tidied it up, taking out some things from Xiao Yuan’s Storage Bag and arranging them neatly.

At this time, both of them were very hungry, but luckily Xiao Yuan remembered to bring some food.

Xiao Qing started a fire to cook, preparing a pot of porridge for the brothers to drink.

After drinking the porridge, Xiao Qing went out for a walk and returned with a few rabbits and mountain chickens.

He handed these to Xiao Yuan to clean and took the time to cultivate.

Xiao Qing closed himself in meditation, while Xiao Yuan began to kill a rabbit to roast it, and he also picked mushrooms and stewed them with the mountain chicken.

Every day, he would make different delicacies to bring to Xiao Qing inside while also standing guard outside to protect Xiao Qing.

Xiao Qing’s cultivation speed was very fast, and it didn’t take long for him to reach the Great Perfection of the Qi Refinement Realm.

At this point, he could no longer rush his cultivation.

He asked Xiao Yuan to guard the cave as he ventured into the deep mountain to see if he could find any outstanding Spiritual Medicines or bring back some spirit beasts.

Xiao Qing left first, and Xiao Yuan followed soon after.

Xiao Yuan headed straight for the Evil Abyss.

In the original body’s memory, there was a legend about the Evil Abyss, which said it was a place where a Great Demon had fallen, filled with rampaging Demonic Qi, said to cause anyone who entered to develop a Heart Demon, going mad at best and unable to escape at worst.

Xiao Yuan wanted to see what was inside that place.

He used a Spell and quickly found the Evil Abyss.

The place, from afar, was surrounded by a layer of gray-black mist. As one got closer, they could feel the demonic energy; taking a few more steps forward made breathing difficult.

Xiao Yuan stepped forward, maintaining a normal expression, appearing quite at ease, as if strolling in his own garden.

After entering, he could feel the scenery around him change, and he was being beaten down by someone, with many people watching coldly...

Xiao Yuan chuckled, waved his hand, and the illusion disappeared.

"It’s nothing more than a child’s trick."

Such Illusion Techniques were not worthy of Xiao Yuan’s concern.

When the illusion vanished, a mass of gray mist charged straight towards Xiao Yuan’s face.

Xiao Yuan flicked his hand, and the mist dispersed.

"Who are you?"

From deep within the forest, a hoarse voice came.

"Demon Clan?"

Xiao Yuan raised an eyebrow, slightly lifting his right hand with a curved index finger. With just a beckoning motion, a towering black shadow began to emerge from the depths of the forest.

Xiao Yuan smiled.

"You actually found me?"

As the shadow approached, Xiao Yuan could clearly see its true form.

In reality, it wasn’t a physical person or object, but rather a mass of shadow.

While others might not understand its nature upon seeing the shadow, Xiao Yuan understood.

This was Demonic Qi transformed from the remnants left by the Great Demon’s fall. Over thousands of years within the Evil Abyss, this Demonic Qi absorbed countless people’s resentment and drove many into madness to offer their souls, thus developing spiritual wisdom. If left unrestrained, it might transform into a Great Demon in a few hundred years.

Xiao Yuan examined the Demonic Qi, and the Demonic Qi was also appraising Xiao Yuan.

"You little rascal, you’re quite impressive."

Xiao Yuan smiled lightly, "Nothing special, defeating you is not a problem."

Demonic Qi: ...

Xiao Yuan casually patted the Demonic Qi twice, causing it to lose its human shape and nearly disperse.

Frightened, it quickly condensed into a ball and distanced itself from Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan ignored it and walked step by step into the depths of the forest.

"What are you doing?"

Though Demonic Qi stayed far from Xiao Yuan, it still followed him.

"Naturally, to see what collections you have."

Xiao Yuan casually said, "You’re not as powerful as I am; this place now belongs to me, and your treasures are mine too."

Demonic Qi: So angry, I want to tear him apart, but can’t defeat him.

"Those are mine."

It angrily said.

Xiao Yuan raised an eyebrow, "What does that matter? Now it belongs to me."

Without further exchanging words with Demonic Qi, he strode into the deep woods, the black-gray mist growing thicker, increasing the discomfort of the Demonic Qi, causing harm to not only the Divine Soul but even the internal organs felt oppressed.

Yet, Xiao Yuan still leisurely walked ahead.

Finally, he reached the central area of the Evil Abyss.

Here, there was not a single bit of vegetation; not a tree, not a blade of grass.

The entire ground was paved with black jades, with a small hill of bones at its center.

Xiao Yuan glanced at it without saying anything, then stepped onto a piece of black jade, stomped his foot, and the jade automatically shifted aside to reveal a small hole underneath.

The hole was small but held many Storage Rings inside.

Xiao Yuan smiled and waved, and those Storage Rings floated into his hands.

He counted them, finding seventeen or eighteen.

"These are mine."

Demonic Qi was agitated, trying to snatch back its treasures.

Each of these seventeen or eighteen Storage Rings was packed full, filled with treasures amassed over the years, brimming with Spiritual Treasures, Spiritual Artifacts, Spiritual Medicines, and various Cultivation Techniques, with some even filled to the brim with Spirit Stones.

Xiao Yuan waved his hand, sending the Demonic Qi tumbling aside.

He stored the Storage Rings into his Storage Bag, then smiled and patted the bag, "Not bad, at least some foundation now."

Demonic Qi was nearly scattered by Xiao Yuan, felt both fear and grievance, curled up tightly muttering, "These were my savings over the years, you thief, you’ll never have a good end, you robbed my things, you black-hearted..."

Xiao Yuan glanced back at Demonic Qi, "I may be black-hearted, but I’m better than you; you don’t even have a heart."

"Waaah!"

Demonic Qi cried out in grievance, "Return my treasures, return my..."

Xiao Yuan rubbed his brow.

Demonic Qi might have developed spiritual wisdom, but due to lack of guidance and little contact with others, it remained naive, almost like a three-year-old child.

"Shut up."

Xiao Yuan sternly ordered.

Frightened, Demonic Qi closed its mouth immediately, hiccupping and pouting at Xiao Yuan, "You’re a bad person."

Xiao Yuan reached out and snatched Demonic Qi, compressed it tightly, then balled it up repeatedly, forming it into a sphere. From his Storage Bag, he procured a fine jade, and stuffed Demonic Qi inside, "That’s enough, quiet down, or I’ll kill you."

Demonic Qi was terrified.

"You Demon, you..."

Xiao Yuan placed a sealing mark on the jade, and silence fell completely.
