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

Chapter 152: Chapter 149: Lord Mosquito Bails! Off to Play by Himself

“If you go out now and I’m exposed as a Beast Tamer—plus my status as the ’genius girl from the mainland’—it’ll be far too easy for people to figure out who we are!”

“Disguising myself as a Spiritual Mind Master is the safest choice right now!”

Chu Sheng fell silent upon hearing this, lost in thought.

Seeing this, Gu Yuexi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking she had persuaded the mosquito.

After a pause, she added, “Also, your mosquito form can’t be revealed!”

“To put it another way… a powerful mosquito with Spiritual Wisdom absolutely cannot appear on Hong Kong Island right now! Otherwise, we’ll still be targeted easily!”

After all, her file from Jiang City Lingwu High School was practically an open secret. Now, countless people throughout all of Sui Ming knew she had a contract with a White-striped Aedes Mosquito!

’How could the person who posted the bounty on my life not know?’

’That kind of information would definitely be included in the bounty!’

’So, she can’t reveal she’s a Beast Tamer… and I can’t reveal I’m a mosquito…’

Chu Sheng was lost in thought.

He had to admit the Empress’s logic was sound. Her current plan to disguise herself as a Spiritual Mind Master was absolutely the safest and most correct course of action.

’But… damn it, I can’t just hide in your hair forever, can I?!’

’Am I supposed to spend this entire Hong Kong Island arc hiding in your hair?’

’Will Lord Mosquito have no chance to shine?!’

’What a joke!’

’I’m the protagonist here!’

’No! Absolutely not!’

’I have to think of a way!’

Chu Sheng sank into deep thought. A moment later, his compound eyes suddenly lit up.

An idea, nothing short of genius, suddenly erupted in his mind!

“BZZZ!” Chu Sheng rubbed his forelimbs together, his heart pounding with excitement. ’Holy shit, why didn’t I think of this before? Perfect! Let’s do it! Lord Mosquito, I’m a goddamn genius!’

“???”

Gu Yuexi felt his sudden, overwhelming excitement, and a powerful sense of foreboding instantly gripped her heart.

’What kind of trouble is that guy trying to stir up now?!’

She hurriedly tried to say something else to him.

However, it was too late.

The next second, a barely perceptible black shadow shot up from the top of her head and soared into the sky!

The White-striped Aedes Mosquito’s tiny figure instantly vanished high into the sky, moving so fast that no one around noticed a thing.

Throughout the entire process, aside from Gu Yuexi herself sensing it through the Blood Covenant, the people next to her—Mu Yunfei, Li Wenbo, and the others—were completely oblivious.

Gu Yuexi: “…”

The corner of her eye twitched uncontrollably, and her fists were already clenched tight!

A moment ago, she had subconsciously tried to use the Blood Covenant’s binding power to hold the mosquito in place.

But she had failed.

An equally powerful wave of Mental Power had rebounded from him!

Effortlessly! It had neutralized her control command!!

Her current Mental Power was only a little over two hundred points higher than Chu Sheng’s. This slight gap was no longer enough for a Beast Tamer to maintain absolute, compulsory control over a Contracted Beast.

At that moment.

For the first time, the crisis of a “beast taming its master” struck Gu Yuexi’s heart with such real, violent force!

’What does this mean? He just ran off?’

’What is he trying to do?’

’Does he really intend to betray his master?!’

’That bastard!!’

An uncontrollable rage, mixed with a sliver of panic she refused to even acknowledge, surged up from the depths of her heart.

Gu Yuexi’s expression darkened and shifted unpredictably.

’No!’

’I have to increase my Mental Power immediately! I must regain absolute control!’

The thought grew wildly, instantly overriding everything else.

She snapped her head up and looked at Mu Yunfei, her tone urgent. “The Heart Sea Glazed Tower! Can I challenge it today? I need to go immediately!”

“Huh?”

Mu Yunfei, who had been pointing out the architectural features of Hong Kong University to Li Wenbo, was taken aback by Gu Yuexi’s sudden question.

’The Heart Sea Glazed Tower?’

That was the testing center’s most difficult and most popular project for testing Mental Power aptitude.

It was also, of course, recognized as the most definitive.

It was a tower of nothingness, conjured entirely from “Divine Thought.”

What was Divine Thought?

On the path of Mental Power, the higher one’s grade, the more condensed it becomes, eventually solidifying into a tangible substance.

However, upon reaching the King-level, Mental Power returns to its original, pure state, transforming into the formless and insubstantial ’Soul Power.’

Upon reaching the Emperor Level, Soul Power can once again solidify and interfere with the Laws themselves!

And should one ascend to the Emperor Realm, Soul Power will sublimate once more, becoming the omnipotent “Divine Thought”!

A single thought could give birth to all of creation!

And this Heart Sea Glazed Tower was a gift left to his alma mater by a legendary alumnus of Hong Kong University—one of the current Nine Emperors of Great Xia, the “Illusion Sea Spirit Emperor.”

The tower has nine floors and is used specifically to test and hone the Mental Power aptitude of the younger generation.

For each floor they clear, challengers receive a baptism by a wisp of Divine Thought. Their Mental Power is tempered, their soul is fortified, and they also gain some of the Cultivation insights left behind by that Emperor Level expert.

Naturally, the higher the floor cleared, the more bountiful the rewards.

Should one manage to clear the ninth floor, they would obtain the legendary ultimate prize: the Celestial Tier Upper-Grade Ultimate Treasure, the [Soul Sea Dao Seal]!

Of course, that was merely a legend.

In the two hundred-plus years since the Heart Sea Glazed Tower was built, no one had ever truly reached the ninth floor.

It was said that the ’Illusion Sea Spirit Emperor’ had set the standard for clearing the tower based on his own abilities when he was young.

In other words, anyone who could clear the ninth floor would possess the potential to reach the Emperor Realm through Mental Power alone!

Across all of Great Xia, and even the entire world, no expert who reached the Emperor Realm purely through Mental Power had appeared in over two hundred years!

After his brief stupor, Mu Yunfei quickly recovered and nodded. “Of course. The Heart Sea Glazed Tower is open around the clock.”

“Li Wenbo and the others were actually planning on challenging it during their visit… What, you want to go too, Miss Wang?”

“Yes.” Gu Yuexi nodded, her tone not softening in the slightest. “Please take me there now. The sooner, the better!”

Her impatient attitude took Mu Yunfei even more by surprise.

’Why the sudden rush? Does she want the rewards that badly?’

He quickly made a calculation in his head.

’With the Mental Power talent this mainland girl has demonstrated, perhaps she really has a chance of reaching a relatively high floor.’

’The Fifth Floor?’

’Or… maybe even the 6th Floor if she really pushes herself?’

’The rewards for that would be quite substantial.’

’Clearing the Fifth Floor guarantees at least an Earth-tier Middle-Grade Mental Power treasure.’

’A treasure of that level, back in the mainland provinces, is certainly a rare prize that would drive any genius wild.’

’No wonder… she’s so impatient.’

Mu Yunfei understood. A subtle sense of superiority couldn’t help but surface within him.

’No matter how talented she is, her horizons and background are still lacking!’

Hearing their conversation, Li Wenbo and the other students from the Capital City exchanged a knowing glance.

Their thoughts were largely the same as Mu Yunfei’s.

’Just as you’d expect from someone from the mainland who’s never seen the world. Getting this worked up over a mere Earth-tier Middle-Grade treasure?’

’It’s really… hard to understand.’
