I guess once my sister’s matters are settled, my marriage will be arranged.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anning took a bite of fish and tossed a handful of greens into the pot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What should I do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yuan looked at Anning with a teasing smile: \"You’ll have to bear with it once, my dear.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anning sighed: \"Since I fancy your handsome looks, I’ll just have to endure once.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Soon then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yuan placed a slice of fish into Anning’s bowl: \"If mother-in-law discovers that I am Li Pengcheng’s brother, it’s unlikely we could ever be together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anning ate another piece of fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She suddenly put down her chopsticks: \"Oh no.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yuan also put down his chopsticks, reaching out to feel Anning’s forehead: \"Stop eating, you’ll no longer be able to handle it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, Anning’s face was as red as a crimson cloth. Her eyes shone with a shimmering light, staring at Xiao Yuan as if trying to captivate his soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anning tugged at her collar: \"I’ve overindulged the past few days, not considering the capacity of this body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yuan gathered the remaining meat slices, taking Anning to the inner room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He prepared a large wooden tub, added warm water, and then some herbs: \"Soak for a while, it’ll relieve the discomfort.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once finished, Xiao Yuan sat on the bed cross-legged to cultivate, beginning to absorb the purified Spiritual Power from the fish slices eaten previously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anning undressed and immersed herself in the tub, also starting to absorb the original power running amok in her body due to eating too much demon meat in recent days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the tub water turned steaming hot, causing the water to churn and light mist to rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anning’s face became increasingly red, her skin showing a blush of pink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yuan sighed, walked behind Anning, placing his hand against her back to absorb the undigestable original power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Xiao Yuan’s body had been cultivated from a young age, possessing excellent root bones and mana, which prevented being overwhelmed by such power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Xiao Yuan, like Anning, hadn’t previously practiced Taoist Skill, indulging in feast for a few days, the only way apart from dual cultivation as rescue would be impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour passed before Anning opened her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still having flushed cheeks, her eyes shimmering, making Xiao Yuan feel slightly restless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I shouldn’t have overindulged moving forward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anning accepted the towel Xiao Yuan handed, wrapped herself before emerging from the tub to dress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yuan took a towel to dry Anning’s hair: \"Eat lightly for the next few days, cleanse the body’s excessive fire, after ten days or so, I’ll bring you more meat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of the upcoming vegetarian diet, Anning felt somewhat forlorn: \"You must remember to bring me meat. Keep that lobster for me, I want to eat spicy lobster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yuan agreed with a smile: \"Let’s go, I’ll escort you back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anning observed Xiao Yuan keep distance after drying her hair, her eyes shifted playfully, leaning closer to Xiao Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yuan promptly stepped back: \"If you want to return today, keep away from me, lest...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having helped Anning absorb a considerable amount of original power, he exerted control to maintain composure. If Anning got any closer, Xiao Yuan couldn’t predict what he might do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anning giggled and stepped back several steps: \"Actually, tonight seems an ideal opportunity. What if, upon my return, I feign illness and have my mother invite you over to treat me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t be reckless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yuan sternly admonished Anning: \"I’ll figure out our wedding plans, you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anning shrugged: \"Fine, whether you intend to stay a bachelor for life is none of my concern.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anning knew Mrs. Luo well; under normal circumstances, Mrs. Luo would never consent to marrying Anning to Xiao Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yuan contemplated their identities, merely able to sigh: \"Be careful, don’t ruin your reputation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anning nodded: \"Rest assured, my mother will definitely arrange things for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She waved towards Xiao Yuan: \"Alright, I’m heading back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yuan, still worried, personally escorted Anning back to the Luo Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anning returned to her room, jumped onto her bed, dismantled the array, and lay flat, clutching the quilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After much contemplation, Anning decided to risk it once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anning hadn’t lied to Xiao Yuan, Mrs. Luo and Granny Yao were genuinely discussing finding a match for her, with Mrs. Zhao having provided several options. If not for Luo Anqing’s matters, Mrs. Luo would likely have already selected a family, possibly even having a matchmaker visit soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anning calculated the journey; Luo Anqing would return in a few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon settling Luo Anqing’s affairs, Mrs. Luo would undoubtedly have time to manage hers, by then any chance with Xiao Yuan would be even less likely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, Anning genuinely craved the demon meat’s taste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she could marry Xiao Yuan soon, she’d indulge in meat freely, worst case indulging excessively results in dual cultivation with Xiao Yuan...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such thoughts, Anning decided to resolve matters with Mrs. Luo sooner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She exercised her technique, sweating profusely to redden her complexion, then summoned Yue Niang: \"Sister Yue Niang, come quick, I feel terrible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Niang, guarding the outer room, heard the call and hurried into the inner room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lit a lamp, pulled the bed drapes aside, and upon approaching, found Anning dripping with sweat, her face crimson as though it might bleed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Lady, what’s happening to you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Niang panicked: \"Please wait, I’ll go fetch the Lady.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long since having slept, Mrs. Luo was awakened by Yue Niang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lady, Lady, Young Lady is ill, please go check.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Luo hastily clothed herself, leading a group of maids and old women to Anning’s room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing Anning’s condition, she was startled: \"My child, where does it hurt?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anning tugged at her collar: \"Mother, I’m extremely hot, my body feels uncomfortable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gripped Mrs. Luo’s hand tightly: \"Mother, I feel terrible, am I dying?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1237,"2026-06-05T16:08:46.844Z",1,"novelbin.me","b039ea9e8fa6883f384c86788df331a0423d9713de0a172c3ba2b6b6612d20eb","the-comeback-of-the-cannon-fodder-supporting-act-chapter-1186","the-comeback-of-the-cannon-fodder-supporting-act-chapter-1184",1243,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-comeback-of-the-cannon-fodder-supporting-act-cover.jpg"]
