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

Chapter 141: Chapter 141: Champion Scholar’s Reward: A King-level Bloodline Cub? Kill It to Feed the Mosquito

「At the Secret Realm Exit.」

“They’re out! They’re finally out!”

Seeing nearly ten thousand examinees emerge unharmed under military escort, Governors Zhou Qing and Li Jianye could finally breathe a little easier.

Then, after they learned what had happened in the Secret Realm from the shell-shocked examinees and soldiers…

Everyone was stunned.

The expressions on the faces of Zhou Qing and Li Jianye, two lofty King-level Powerhouses, were as if they’d seen a ghost—filled with utter absurdity and disbelief.

’Peak of Third-Grade… clashing head-on with a Fourth-Grade Middle Stage?! And it fucking won?!’

This was beyond heaven-defying!

This was a myth! A miracle sufficient to overturn the entire history of Beast Taming!

Even the top-notch Emperor-level Bloodline Demon Beast cubs they had heard of absolutely could not have achieved such a feat at the Peak of Third-Grade!

’Is this mosquito… really that heaven-defying?!’

As for Qi Chongshan, his current mood could only be described with one word: ecstatic!

He had originally thought that, facing a Fourth-Grade Middle Stage Demon Beast renowned for its Defense Power, the mosquito would at most be able to survive. It wouldn’t even be able to injure its opponent!

After all, the gap in their levels was just too great!

But the result…

’Now *this* is what a fucking surprise looks like!’

So satisfying!

So fucking satisfying!

This chance to show off in front of his two old friends was a million times more satisfying than when he had broken through to the King-level!

With a shocking event like an assassination attempt, the originally planned grand award ceremony was naturally off the table.

Everything was simplified.

The three, Qi Chongshan included, unanimously decided to hand out the awards as quickly as possible and then immediately take Gu Yuexi to the Sui Ming Provincial Government for protection.

And so,

a temporary awards stage was quickly erected right in front of the Secret Realm entrance.

Qi Chongshan personally presented the awards, handing a golden trophy representing the honor of being the three-province Champion Scholar, along with a black card containing one million Federation Coins, to Gu Yuexi.

Gu Yuexi accepted them with a blank expression, feeling nothing.

’A million? That’s secondary.’

’What I truly care about is the other reward.’

“Next, I will present Gu with the special prize for this year’s joint examination Champion Scholar!”

As Qi Chongshan’s voice rang out, two staff members slowly walked up, carrying a huge cage made of a special alloy.

Inside the cage, a Demon Beast cub, pure white, shaped like a tiger with wings on its back and a tuft of golden feathers between its brows, was curiously looking around.

“A King-level One-star Bloodline—the Golden Feathered White Tiger!”

Qi Chongshan said with a broad smile, “This was specially captured from the depths of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range by the Federation to reward the most elite Beast Taming geniuses of each province!”

“In the entire Great Xia, only three are successfully captured every ten years on average! I don’t need to elaborate on how precious it is!”

ROAR—!

The moment he said this, the entire audience erupted!

Countless examinees, especially the Beast Tamer candidates, stared intently at the cub with eyes burning with maddening jealousy, their breathing growing ragged.

Even Huo Mingxuan and Ye Xiaotao, the top-notch Beast Taming prodigies from the Hidden Dragon Class, couldn’t hide the envy in their eyes.

A King-level Bloodline!

That was a dream beyond the reach of countless Beast Tamers in their entire lifetimes!

Just contracting a Demon Beast with a King-level Bloodline meant a future as at least a Peak of Ninth-Grade powerhouse, with even a hope of reaching the King-level!

’Gu Yuexi’s luck is just too good!’

’She already contracted a ridiculously heaven-defying mosquito, and now she gets a Golden Feathered White Tiger with limitless potential for free?’

’How the fuck is anyone else supposed to compete?!’

But Gu Yuexi only gave the cub a faint glance, a flicker of unconcealable disappointment flashing through her cold, phoenix-like eyes.

’King-level One Star?’

’Only one star…’

’Even if I spent massive resources raising a Bloodline like this, the probability of it reaching the King-level is low. It would most likely stall at the Peak of Ninth-Grade.’

’It can’t compare to the Azure Flame Flying Lion cub in my Beast Taming Pouch.’

’That little lion’s Bloodline has already reached the peak of King-level One Star after being purified by that damned mosquito’s Nether Flame.’

’And its potential is limitless.’

’I know several methods to make it evolve again and become an Alien Species.’

’Reaching the Emperor Level in the future isn’t impossible!’

’Comparing the two, the difference is obvious.’

’Keeping another living King-level Bloodline cub would not only mean spending more money on another Beast Taming Pouch, but also spending a fortune on expensive blood-based food for it. It’s a complete waste of resources.’

’It’s useless.’

Thinking this, Gu Yuexi slowly walked forward. Under everyone’s stunned gazes, she extended a slender, jade-like finger and lightly tapped the spot between the Golden Feathered White Tiger cub’s brows.

PFFT!

A frigid burst of energy instantly pierced the cub’s skull.

The King-level Bloodline Demon Beast, which had been alive and kicking just a second before, died on the spot without even a whimper.

Gu Yuexi’s movements were fluid as she casually placed the cub’s corpse into her Storage Pouch.

Then, amidst the dead silence of the entire venue, she offered a simple explanation:

“A King-level One Star is not worthy of becoming my Contracted Beast. I killed it to feed my mosquito.”

Qi Chongshan: “?”

Zhou Qing and Li Jianye: “???”

All the examinees and teachers present: “???”

Everyone felt their brains shrink a little!

They never would have imagined, not in a million years, that Gu Yuexi would do something so outrageous!

What a colossal waste!

’That was a Demon Beast with a King-level Bloodline! You just killed it, just like that?! Just to feed a mosquito?!’

Countless Beast Tamers were so heartbroken it felt like their hearts were bleeding. They desperately wanted to rush up, hug Gu Yuexi’s legs, and wail, “If you don’t fucking want it, give it to me!”

But… on second thought, it didn’t seem like there was a problem?

Compared to that heaven-defying mosquito, a mere King-level One-star Bloodline cub… was dogshit!

Forget killing it to feed the mosquito; even chopping it up to make dumplings seemed perfectly reasonable!

’Dammit… Comparisons are odious!’

’On what grounds! Why is she so lucky to have contracted that mosquito?! Is it just because she’s good-looking?!’

’The heavens are unfair!’

Amidst a complex storm of gazes filled with envy, jealousy, resentment, and frustration, the most bizarre and thrilling joint high school examination in history finally came to a close.

「After the awards ceremony ended.」

Gu Yuexi was immediately taken to the governor’s office on the top floor of the Provincial Government building to be placed under the highest level of protection.

“Gu, rest assured!”

Qi Chongshan stood before his desk, guaranteeing with a serious expression, “The Provincial Government will investigate this assassination attempt to the very end!”

“No matter who it is, if they dare to touch my people on my turf in Sui Ming Province, I, Qi Chongshan, will dig three feet into the ground to drag them out!”

He spoke fine words, but his heart was filled with bitterness.

’Hell Gate…’

’The security level of that assassin forum is comparable to the White Eagle Empire’s national defense!’

’Forget about a mere provincial governor like me; even if the Federation’s highest security bureau got involved, it would be nearly impossible to find the buyer’s information on that site.’

’This matter will most likely become a cold case.’

Gu Yuexi was noncommittal about his guarantee. She just spoke calmly, “Governor Qi, can you give me the special pass to Hong Kong Island now?”
