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

Chapter 111: Chapter 111: The Collapse of Wang Tao and Wang Li! Lord Mosquito’s 5th Evolution is Complete

Qi Chongshan instantly understood her meaning.

He no longer hesitated. He picked up the microphone and, his voice blazing with fury, announced the final verdict.

“Wang Li and Wang Tao harbored sinister intentions, maliciously spread rumors, and incited their fellow students. Their crimes are heinous!”

“In the name of the Governor of Sui Ming Province, I hereby pronounce judgment!”

“They are hereby sentenced to life in prison! They shall never be eligible for parole or commutation!”

’This verdict is actually quite good,’ Gu Yuexi thought.

Life imprisonment was far more satisfying than simply killing them.

Let them spend the rest of their long, dark lives in endless regret and despair. That was the best punishment for them.

’Alright, all the problems are solved now.’

’And all my goals have been met.’

Gu Yuexi had no intention of staying any longer. She picked up a microphone and spoke coolly toward the judges’ platform, “I assume I don’t need to participate in the remaining preliminary rounds?”

“I’ll be back in three days for the tri-province joint exam.”

With that, she casually tossed the microphone aside, turned, and stepped off the fighting ring. Under the watch of countless eyes, she walked toward the stadium exit as if no one else existed.

The entire stadium fell deathly silent.

The dense sea of people parted like the tide, automatically clearing a path for her.

All eyes were fixed on her, filled with a mixture of complex emotions.

Fear, reverence, shock, and confusion…

’Just what kind of being is she?’

’What terrifying talent and potential must she possess for the Lord Governor to exercise his authority to such a degree? To the point he would risk offending every powerful faction in Sui Ming Province?’

They couldn’t understand it, and they didn’t dare to think on it any further.

Within the crowd.

Wang Tao was slumped on the ground, his eyes vacant. He watched Gu Yuexi’s retreating figure, his mind a complete blank.

Life in prison…

’It’s over. Everything is over.’

His life, the talent he was so proud of, his entire future—it was all crushed in that single moment.

He suddenly remembered what his sister, Wang Li, had told him. She’d said that Gu Yuexi was just a lucky piece of trash, some illegitimate daughter of a great family from the Capital City!

’It was all lies…’

’She made it all up!’

’She did this. With her own hands, she destroyed herself… and her only brother!’

…

「Inside a hovercar outside the stadium.」

Wang Li was staring intently at the live broadcast on the virtual screen inside the car.

She had wanted to see with her own eyes how Gu Yuexi, that nepotism case, would be utterly humiliated in front of everyone, cementing her reputation as a nobody.

But what did she see instead?

She saw Gu Yuexi take out Luo Cheng with a single finger!

She saw the Governor change the rules in public just to protect her!

She saw the thousands of students who joined the protest all get sentenced to three years in prison!

And finally, she heard the final verdict: she and her brother were sentenced to life in prison.

“No… No… NO!!!”

Wang Li’s pupils constricted. Her delicate face twisted in absolute terror as she let out a shriek that barely sounded human.

’Life in prison?’

’My life… is over just like that?’

’My bright future, everything I had… It’s all gone?’

’No! I don’t believe it! I won’t accept it!’

However, before she could recover from her breakdown, several uniformed law enforcement officers with ice-cold auras appeared outside her car in an instant.

With a CLICK, cold handcuffs snapped around her pale wrists.

In that instant, all of Wang Li’s strength seemed to drain away. She went limp in her seat, her eyes hollow and her face ashen.

She knew… it was all over.

…

「On the stadium’s main platform.」

Qi Chongshan and the other leaders from the Provincial Government watched Gu Yuexi’s retreating figure, their expressions incredibly complex.

Zhang Chengye’s lips twitched. Unable to hold back, he finally asked in a low voice, “Lord Governor, is it really worth it… to offend so many powerful families for her sake alone?”

This was a massive gamble.

The stakes were nothing less than the future political landscape of all of Sui Ming Province.

Qi Chongshan remained silent for a long moment before letting out a slow breath, his gaze resolute.

“The future will tell us whether it was worth it.”

“Let’s hope… I made the right bet.”

「Meanwhile.」

In the Hidden Dragon Class’s viewing area.

Qin Zheng watched Gu Yuexi’s departing figure, his eyes filled with gratitude and guilt.

As the one who had led the incident, he had expected his fate to be the same as Wang Li and Wang Tao’s, if not worse.

But unexpectedly, she had… let him off easy.

A three-year sentence would still have a huge impact on his life, but it was an act of immense mercy.

He, Qin Zheng, would never forget this kindness.

’When I get out, my life is yours.’

Meanwhile, Xiao Ran, Huo Mingxuan, and the others were utterly stunned by Gu Yuexi’s power and methods. They couldn’t compose themselves for a long time.

“She’s… a monster,” Huo Mingxuan couldn’t help but sigh.

Xiao Ran, however, frowned slightly. He suddenly asked, “Do you think… with her current strength, she can beat those other two monsters from the neighboring Canglan and Celestial Fire Provinces?”

The question made them all fall into deep thought.

Chu Yiran mulled it over for a moment before offering her analysis. “It’s possible, but… I’m afraid it would still be a long shot.”

“With the three Perfect Fulfillment Realms she just displayed, combined with an Earth-tier Martial Technique, she can probably fight across an entire Grand Realm and go head-to-head with a Third-Grade Middle Stage expert.”

“If she were to go all out, she might even be able to trade blows with an ordinary Peak Third-Grade expert!”

Then, Chu Yiran’s tone shifted, her expression growing grave. “But… Cross-Level Combat is standard for geniuses. We can do it, which means those two monsters from the other provinces can do it even more ridiculously.”

“According to my intel, that guy from Canglan Province, Lin Feng, is a Third-Grade Early Stage Martial Artist with an Innate Sword Body who has already comprehended Minor Success Sword Intent. Rumor has it he once killed a Third-Grade Late Stage Demon Beast with a single sword strike!”

“I don’t know as much about the monster from Celestial Fire Province, but he’s also a Third-Grade Early Stage Beast Tamer, and his Contracted Beast has a King-level Bloodline. If he also has a Minor Success Realm to boost him, he’d be more than capable of fighting an ordinary Third-Grade Late Stage expert.”

“Ultimately, Gu Yuexi is at too much of a disadvantage in her cultivation realm. Plus, that mosquito of hers is clearly a support type, with no real direct combat power.”

Xiao Ran, Huo Mingxuan, and the others nodded in agreement.

It made sense.

“If her cultivation realm could reach the Peak of Second-Grade, then with her freakish comprehension, taking first place would be a sure thing.”

“But as things stand… getting third place would already be an excellent result.”

…

「After leaving the stadium.」

Gu Yuexi went straight back to the Nine Elements Spirit Gathering Chamber the school had prepared for her. She sat cross-legged and once again entered a state of Cultivation.

While absorbing the dense Spiritual Qi in the air, she sent her consciousness into her Beast Taming Pouch.

In a corner of the Beast Taming Pouch, the blood-red cocoon enveloping Chu Sheng was emitting waves of life force stronger than ever before.

’This is… the fifth evolution, isn’t it?’

Gu Yuexi couldn’t help but feel a flicker of curiosity and anticipation.

’What will you become this time?’

’Evolving once every three days on average, with huge changes each time… It’s like I get a new Contracted Beast every three days.’

’Hmm, why does that make me feel like… a player?’

Gu Yuexi’s expression was strange for a moment. She quickly pushed aside these bizarre thoughts, calmed her mind, and began her Cultivation.

Time flowed by quietly amid her peaceful Cultivation.

「Two days later.」

Gu Yuexi, deep in meditation, was suddenly jolted awake by a powerful surge of Energy.

Her eyes snapped open, and she immediately sent her consciousness into the Beast Taming Pouch.

Inside the Beast Taming Pouch, a crisp CRACK suddenly echoed from the blood-red cocoon.

A fine crack had appeared on its surface.

’The evolution… is complete?’
