Reincarnated as a Mosquito, I Sucked the Reborn Empress to Tears

Chapter 78: Chapter 78: The Power of a King-level Bloodline Cub! 80 Qi Blood in a Single Bite

Holy crap!

’Did happiness just hit me out of nowhere?’

Chu Sheng couldn’t sit still any longer. He cast a cautious glance at Gu Yuexi, who was still meditating, and confirmed that she wouldn’t be waking up anytime soon. Then, he immediately sprang into action!

He didn’t choose to fly; that would make too much noise and get him discovered.

Instead, he suppressed his aura completely and began to crawl on his six legs, slowly, inch by inch, toward the sleeping lion.

Closer… even closer…

Chu Sheng’s tiny heart pounded wildly. He could clearly smell the rich, sulfur-tinged scent of Qi Blood wafting from the lion!

’This smell is more enticing than all the blood I’ve ever tasted combined!’

He carefully circled around to the lion’s rear, his eyes scanning its massive body, searching for the perfect spot to strike.

Soon, he locked onto a patch of rough-looking skin at the base of the lion’s hind leg that looked like a callus.

’Places like this have the fewest nerve endings. The sensation of pain would be the dullest here!’

’This is the spot!’

Chu Sheng took a deep breath, aimed his long, menacing proboscis at the patch of dead skin, and then… bit by bit, slowly, gently…

He plunged it in!

The Three-headed Red Flame Lion’s massive body twitched slightly, but it didn’t seem to wake up. It just shifted into a more comfortable position and continued to sleep soundly.

’Success!’

Chu Sheng was ecstatic, unable to suppress his excitement any longer!

’Time to feast!!!’

[Ding! King-level (Two Stars) Bloodline detected—Three-headed Red Flame Lion! Commencing suction…]

SSSSSLURP—!

A surge of Qi Blood Power, far more immense and pure than anything he had ever experienced, erupted into his body like a volcano!

[Ding! Host has absorbed 86.6 Qi Blood! Current Total Qi Blood is 608!]

[Ding! Blood digestion in progress. Estimated time: 45 minutes! Expected gain after digestion: 15 Evolution Points!]

“Holy shit!”

“Damn, that was one hell of a mouthful!”

Chu Sheng was astonished. ’A King-level Bloodline is truly in a league of its own! The quality is on a completely different level!’

’Even though it’s not an adult, a single mouthful gave me far more Qi Blood than that Eighth-Grade Azure Flame Flying Lion ever did!’

Of course, part of this was because he was bigger now and could suck more in a single go.

Now that he was full, Chu Sheng prepared to retreat.

However, just as he was about to pull out his proboscis,

He suddenly felt a cold, twisted energy full of resentment get sucked in along with the blood.

’Is this… a curse?!’

Chu Sheng froze. The [Soul-devouring Nether Flame] inside him instantly flared up, like a cat that had smelled fish, and actively surged toward the Curse Power!

HSSSSS!

The moment that cold Curse Power came into contact with the Soul-devouring Nether Flame, it was like ice meeting a hot iron—it was instantly incinerated and purified!

Afterward, it actually transformed into wisps of pure Soul Energy that, in turn, nourished Chu Sheng’s Mental Power.

[Ding! Curse of the Vengeful Spirit detected. Incinerating and purifying…]

[Purification successful! Mental Power +5!]

[Purification successful! Mental Power +6!]

…

“???”

“It can do that?”

Chu Sheng was dumbfounded. ’My flame can even purify curses?’

’What a pleasant surprise!’

He could sense that the Curse Power within the lion was still immense. If he could purify and absorb all of it, he could probably gain several dozen points of Mental Power!

’My stomach is full, but Mental Power doesn’t take up any stomach space!’

’Alright then…’

’Lord Mosquito will do you the favor of removing this curse. Just consider it payment for the meal!’

With a thought, Chu Sheng carefully injected a wisp of Soul-devouring Nether Flame—many times thinner than a strand of hair—into the Three-headed Red Flame Lion’s body through his proboscis.

This wisp of Nether Flame was like a precision-guided missile. It followed the blood circulation and accurately located the Origin of the curse coiled deep within the lion’s soul!

BOOM!

The flame detonated instantly!

The “Curse of the Vengeful Spirit,” which had plagued the lion for years and left even the Xiao Family helpless, couldn’t last a single second under the searing heat of the Soul-devouring Nether Flame before it was completely obliterated!

“Roooar…?”

The expressions on all three heads of the slumbering Three-headed Red Flame Lion relaxed simultaneously, as if a great weight had been lifted. It let out a comfortable whimper, rolled over, and fell into an even deeper sleep.

At the same time, a massive amount of purified Curse Power transformed into dense Mental Power and surged madly into Chu Sheng’s proboscis!

[Mental Power +2!]

[Mental Power +6!]

[Mental Power +3!]

[…]

[Ding! Host has absorbed a total of 62 Mental Power! Current Mental Power is 850!]

’Done!’

Chu Sheng, completely satisfied, withdrew his proboscis and flew silently back to his corner.

He glanced at the sleeping lion, then turned his gaze to the Moonlight Spirit Fox dozing not far away.

’Hmm, there’s also a High-Level (Five Stars) one!’

’It can’t compare to a King-level, but even a mosquito’s leg is still meat!’

’Can’t let this one go!’

He waited a full forty-five minutes.

After completely digesting the mouthful of King-level lion blood in his belly,

Chu Sheng felt his body brimming with power, and his spirit felt much fuller as well.

He immediately locked his gaze back onto the Moonlight Spirit Fox.

’This little thing is too small, just like a kitten. I can probably only take half a mouthful at most. Any more and there’ll be problems…’

’Whatever, half a mouthful is better than nothing!’

Chu Sheng used the same trick again. He crept over, aimed for the little fox’s fluffy rear, and precisely located a patch of “dead flesh” with little to no sensation of pain!

SCHLUK—!

His proboscis inserted gently once more.

[Ding! High-Level (Five Stars) Bloodline detected—Moonlight Spirit Fox! Commencing suction…]

[Ding! Host has absorbed 31 Qi Blood! Current Total Qi Blood is 639!]

[Ding! Blood digestion in progress. Estimated time: 25 minutes! Expected gain after digestion: 6 Evolution Points! Estimated Total Evolution Points: 123!]

’As expected, the quality of a High-Level Bloodline just can’t compare to a King-level one…’

“Huh? What’s this now?”

Chu Sheng was about to pull out and make a run for it when he suddenly froze again.

He could clearly feel that the little fox’s blood was mixed with many subtle, almost imperceptible impurities.

These impurities seemed to be the “shackles” preventing its Bloodline from advancing any further!

’And my Soul-devouring Nether Flame… seems like it can burn away these impurities?’

The moment this thought popped into his head, Chu Sheng was dumbfounded.

’No way…’

’Is my flame really this badass after its upgrade?’

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for discovering the hidden effect of the ’Soul-devouring Nether Flame’!]

[The Soul-devouring Nether Flame is a fire of soul and Origin. It fuses the Host’s powerful Mental Power with the Origin flame of the Azure Flame Flying Lion. In theory, it can incinerate all filth and impurities in the world!]

[However, the Host’s current realm is too low. Your Nether Flame can currently only purify the Bloodline of any creature whose strength is no more than one Grade higher than your own!]
