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

Chapter 239: Chapter 235: We’re Screwed! An Illusion Array Even the Empress Can’t Pass?

As Adam spoke, he sheathed the Cross Sword on his back. Then, with a confident expression, he walked toward Gu Yuexi and elegantly extended his right hand.

“Greetings. My name is Adam, from the great White Eagle Empire Saint Academy.”

“May I have your name, beautiful…?”

Adam was a towering six-foot-three, with fair skin, deep-set features, and a gentlemanly demeanor. It had to be said, he was quite handsome.

At least, that was what he thought.

Besides, the name of the White Eagle Empire Saint Academy was an extremely prestigious title in any corner of the world!

So, as he spoke, he was already preparing to kiss Gu Yuexi’s hand and bask in her adoring gaze.

However, Gu Yuexi had no intention of extending her hand whatsoever.

Adam’s hand froze in mid-air. He looked up and saw a sharp, murderous glint flash in Gu Yuexi’s cold eyes.

’Not good!’

Adam instinctively felt an extreme sense of danger!

The next second, a powerful Spiritual Shock Wave blasted toward him!

“Holy Shield!”

Adam roared, but it was too late. The semi-corporeal shock wave sent him flying, and he crashed hard onto the ground.

Dust and smoke billowed across the summit.

But soon, Adam walked out of the dust cloud, completely unharmed. A faint white light enveloped his body, emanating from a Cross Necklace around his neck.

“How dare you attack me directly.”

’Interesting…’

Adam was halfway through his sentence when his expression changed drastically again.

Gu Yuexi was forming a hand seal, and a massive Void Sword was slowly materializing beside her!

Adam felt immense pressure from that Void Sword!

He finally snapped:

“Damn it! You uncivilized woman from the East, you have thoroughly enraged me!”

Adam furiously drew the Cross Sword from his back, and a powerful force instantly descended upon him.

At the same time, Gu Yuexi’s Void Sword had finished forming.

Without any hesitation, Gu Yuexi flicked her finger, and the Sword of Realm shot toward Adam at extreme speed.

Then, without giving him another glance, Gu Yuexi turned and walked into the palace.

…

「On the desolate plaza outside the palace.」

The massive Void Sword reached Adam in an instant. He swung his Cross Sword and slashed at it fiercely.

VMM!

Time seemed to freeze for a second!

The next moment, the greatsword was knocked from Adam’s hand, and the Sword of Realm slammed into his face.

But just then, the white necklace lit up again, and a beam of white light stubbornly protected Adam.

The Sword of Realm clashed violently with the white light, forcing Adam backward. Although the Sword of Realm had a slight advantage, the Energy from the white light seemed inexhaustible.

Slowly, with no more Mental Power to sustain it, the Sword of Realm finally dissipated completely.

By now, Adam had been forced to the edge of the summit’s cliff.

A drop of cold sweat trickled down his forehead, all traces of his earlier arrogance gone.

’So this is the Great Xia of the Eastern Country… Interesting.’

…

Why did Gu Yuexi try to kill Adam?

The reasons were obvious.

First, he was on an enemy team.

Second, and more importantly, he had come directly to this location. This meant he likely possessed intelligence from previous explorers and knew that this palace also contained ancient treasures. He could have interfered with her plans to claim them.

Therefore, Gu Yuexi attacked without hesitation.

As Gu Yuexi stepped into the palace, she immediately fell into an Illusion Array.

This Illusion Array was a test of one’s character. Gu Yuexi hadn’t feared it in her previous life, let alone this one.

’Come on. Show yourself.’

’I’d like to see what appears to test me in this life.’

Her expression was one of utter confidence.

Then, before her, a mosquito appeared, flapping its pale blue wings, looking incredibly… cool.

Her expression… changed in an instant!

In her previous life, Gu Yuexi didn’t have Chu Sheng as her Contracted Beast, so she naturally never encountered a mosquito in the Illusion Array.

’Damn it, how could I not have expected this stupid mosquito.’

Gu Yuexi grit her teeth and charged toward the mosquito in the Illusion Array.

While Gu Yuexi was battling the illusion of Chu Sheng in the Illusion Realm, Chu Sheng himself was also inside the Illusion Array!

It had to be said, this ancient Illusion Array was rather High-Level.

It had actually manifested some monsters from his time on Earth Star before he transmigrated.

However, when reflecting Chu Sheng’s memories, the Illusion Array clearly got confused… it actually conjured up villains from Earth Star’s movies and TV shows to attack him.

For example, there were kaiju, Xenomorphs, Sadako… and there was even a goddamn Big Big Wolf.

’What a joke!’

So, Chu Sheng gleefully drained them one by one!

[Ding! Mental Power +100]

[Mental Power +90]

[Mental Power…]

Finally, after Chu Sheng had merrily absorbed 8,200 Mental Power, the Illusion Array could no longer hold up. It was sucked dry and collapsed.

[Current Mental Power: 41,800]

’Tsk tsk, this ancient Illusion Array is potent stuff!’

…

「At the entrance of the palace.」

Gu Yuexi, who was always calm and composed no matter the situation, now looked a bit disheveled.

Just moments ago, she had fought “Chu Sheng” in the Illusion Array for countless rounds, but no matter what she did, she just couldn’t defeat it!

With beads of perspiration on her face and panting slightly, she looked up and was stunned to see another mosquito before her.

’This ancient Illusion Array really can’t be underestimated. It’s getting more and more realistic!’

’Come! I refuse to believe I can’t beat you, you damned mosquito!’

With that, Gu Yuexi grit her teeth and charged at the mosquito in the air once more!

However, just as she was about to reach the mosquito, it suddenly started buzzing:

BUZZ? (“What the hell are you doing?”)

Gu Yuexi froze!

During her fight with the mosquito, she had heard it buzzing, but she couldn’t understand any of it.

But now, that feeling of connection through the Blood Covenant returned.

She instantly became clear-headed. She looked at her surroundings—the Illusion Array was gone…

“You… you’re real?”

“How can that be? The Illusion Array was broken?”

Even in her previous life, Gu Yuexi had never broken the Illusion Array, merely passed through it.

BUZZ BUZZ. (“Real or fake? Are you okay?”)

Chu Sheng buzzed twice, speechless. He had just broken the Illusion Array and wanted to brag a little to Gu Yuexi, but to his surprise, the woman charged right at him, looking like she was about to kill him…

’Seriously, and she calls herself the Empress? Worried that I couldn’t get past the Illusion Array?’

’Who’s the one who couldn’t get past it, huh!’

…

Gu Yuexi was a little embarrassed… but the Empress was the Empress, and she quickly pretended nothing had happened.

The woman and the mosquito began to look toward the interior of the hall.

Inside the palace, dilapidated Spiritual Artifacts were scattered everywhere. Not only were these Spiritual Artifacts broken, but they were also completely devoid of Spiritual Power and covered in rust, making them worse than scrap metal.

However, when Chu Sheng’s gaze fell upon the depths of the hall, his eyes suddenly lit up.
