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

The storm brewing in Kyoto did not subside just because “Gu Yuexi” had vanished.

No one could figure it out.

How could their Divine Sense, as a group of old masters, be anything but incredibly sharp?

Forget a Seventh-Grade clone—even if it were a clone created by an Emperor Realm Powerhouse, they would have instantly detected it if even a single trace of its aura felt off.

But the aura of Gu Yuexi’s clone was too real—so real that even the sound of its heartbeat and flowing blood were identical to the original.

The most crucial part was…

When on earth had she escaped?

Pulling off a perfect escape right under their noses?

But, in the end, as the farce concluded,

none of that mattered anymore.

What mattered was the arrest warrant, jointly signed by the Ten Great Clans!

Or perhaps…

a kill order!

…

「Meanwhile.」

Several thousand kilometers from Kyoto, deep within a remote, old-growth forest.

Inside a naturally formed, hidden cavern.

“WHOOSH—!”

With a soft sound, space rippled, and a black mosquito carrying a girl in white robes tumbled out of thin air.

It was none other than Chu Sheng and the real Gu Yuexi, who had long since made their escape.

The moment they landed, Chu Sheng couldn’t help but do a somersault in the air, letting out an incredibly smug laugh.

’That was so exhilarating! The feeling of making monkeys out of the world’s most powerful people is simply incredible.’

Gu Yuexi straightened her slightly disheveled clothes, the corners of her lips curving into a slight smile.

“Just a bunch of idiots.”

Gu Yuexi commented coolly.

She found a clean rock to sit on and let out a long sigh of relief.

This encounter had seemed perilous, but in reality, everything had been under her control.

From the very beginning, she had never intended to confront them head-on.

’Are you kidding me? I’m only Seventh-Grade right now, not some brainless brute. How could I possibly just stand there and wait for seven Peak Emperor Realm powerhouses to gang up on me?’

As for when she swapped with the clone?

It was the exact moment Zhou Tong made his move, interrupting Chu Sheng’s first Instant Teleportation.

The space was shattered, creating violent tremors and turbulence.

That was the perfect cover.

Chu Sheng’s [Boundless Wings] possessed an extremely High-Level Space Law. In that chaotic instant, it created a temporary spatial interlayer, teleporting her real body away while simultaneously releasing the pre-prepared [Water Mirror Clone].

This clone Skill was a Divine Technique from the system, and Gu Yuexi had also used an Emperor Level Secret Technique from her past life’s memories—the Heaven-Deceiving Breath Concealment Technique—to attach a sliver of her Origin aura to the clone.

Even if an Emperor Realm powerhouse arrived in person, as long as they didn’t attack and dispel it, they would never be able to see through the deception.

“Alright, stop fooling around.”

Gu Yuexi glanced at Chu Sheng, who was still flying around wildly in celebration, and held out a pale, slender hand.

“Where’s the stuff?”

“Hand it over. It’s our well-deserved ’compensation for emotional distress.’”

Chu Sheng chuckled and flew down.

“BUZZ (You got it! Time to split the loot!)”

CLATTER CLATTER—

A flash of brilliant light from the treasures filled the air.

He pulled out everything from the eleven Spatial Rings that Commissioner Wang had placed on the table in the conference room earlier.

Instantly, the light from the various Heavenly and Earthly Treasures illuminated the once-dim cavern.

Spiritual Qi so dense it was almost tangible instantly filled the entire space.

The Ten Great Clans had truly spared no expense this time for that Divine Son candidacy.

Each of these rings contained resources that an ordinary King Realm powerhouse would fight to the death for.

Celestial Tier Upper-Grade Spiritual Artifacts, Top-Grade Ninth-Grade Spiritual Plants, and even the Essence Blood and Inner Cores of Emperor Realm Demon Beasts, stored in specially-made Jade Bottles…

“Tsk, tsk, tsk.”

Chu Sheng couldn’t help but marvel as he looked at the treasures spread across the floor:

“BUZZ (These great clans are disgustingly rich. It’s a shame we didn’t get the chance to raid their homes…)”

Gu Yuexi casually picked up a Ninth-Grade Spiritual Plant, a Heavenly Purple Ganoderma, and brought it to her nose to smell.

“These people may have terrible character, but their stuff is genuinely good.”

“With all this, plus our previous accumulations…”

A sharp glint flashed in Gu Yuexi’s eyes.

“This time, we might have a shot at breaking through to Eighth-Grade, or even Ninth Grade.”

She looked at Chu Sheng, her expression turning serious.

“You blasted mosquito, the farce is over.”

“Next, I’m going into seclusion to focus on my breakthrough.”

“Before Jing University’s Secret Realm Zero opens, I have to raise my cultivation level as much as possible.”

“What about you? What are your plans?”

Hearing this, Chu Sheng rubbed his forelegs together eagerly:

“BUZZ (Me? I’m going to make a push too, of course.)”

“BUZZ (Heh heh, this time, let’s have a competition. When we emerge from seclusion in a few months, we’ll see whose cultivation is higher and who’s stronger, how about it?)”

Gu Yuexi let out a light laugh, filled with the unique pride of an Empress:

“Hmph. You’re on.”

…

「After that.」

Gu Yuexi set up a special Array inside the cavern, shielding it from all outside Perception.

Then, she began her secluded cultivation.

The matter of the Divine Son candidacy and the strange appearance of the Divine Domain had given her an inexplicable sense of crisis.

’The world’s timeline in this life is diverging more and more from my previous one. I have to become faster and stronger!’

After Gu Yuexi went into seclusion, Chu Sheng also began to take stock of his own resources and stats.

Absorbing Qi Blood from the Qi Blood Crystal Ball was a daily routine for him.

With the constitution he gained from his eighth evolution, his body could now hold 50,000 Qi Blood at once, and it only took him two hours to digest it.

This meant that by spending eight hours a day absorbing and digesting, his Qi Blood could increase by about 200,000.

Over the past few days, his Qi Blood had risen to 1,650,800, and he had unknowingly broken through to the Seventh Grade Middle Stage…

[Current Qi Blood: 1.65 million (Seventh Grade Middle Stage)]

His Mental Power automatically followed his Qi Blood, increasing to…

[Current Mental Power: 1.65 million (Seventh Grade Middle Stage)]

Currently, he still had about 700,000 worth of Qi Blood Crystal Balls stockpiled in his Lifebound Space.

In addition, among the Celestial and Earthly Treasures he had just teleported over from the Ten Great Clans, there were a few drops of Emperor Realm Demon Beast Essence Blood.

Chu Sheng thought for a moment and decided to absorb all of his stockpiled goods first.

If he spent 24 hours absorbing and digesting at full power, he could finish it all in about a day!

…

「The following day,」

Chu Sheng was like a tireless glutton, constantly absorbing Qi Blood.

「One day later.」

Chu Sheng exhaled a breath of foul air and opened his status panel.

[Host: Chu Sheng]

[Race: Reincarnation Saint Mosquito]

[Lifespan: 1,000 years]

[Bloodline: Emperor Level (One Star)]

[Qi Blood: 2.55 million (Peak of Seventh-Grade)]

[Mental Power: 2.55 million (Peak of Seventh-Grade)]

[Evolution Points: 500]

[Nether Flame Insect Nest – Life Essence: 10.8 million]

[Notice: The next full evolution requires reaching a Qi Blood Value of 3,000,000 (Eighth-Grade Early Stage) and a Mental Power of 3,000,000 (Eighth-Grade Early Stage). It will consume 500,000 Evolution Points and also requires at least one Realm to have reached the Origin Realm.]

’Not bad!’

’I broke through two minor stages in a single day. Unfortunately, I’m just a little short of breaking through to the Eighth-Grade Early Stage. However, I also understand. This brute-force method of mine, relying on absorbing Qi Blood, is fast, but the amount of resources it consumes is also extraordinary! The resources I absorbed in this single day would be enough for a prodigy to cultivate for half their life… Now that I’ve absorbed everything I had stockpiled, it’s time to head out!’

Without dawdling, Chu Sheng glanced back at Gu Yuexi, and then with a single thought, vanished from the spot.
