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

Chapter 26: Chapter 26: Found 3 High-Level Bloodline Cubs

[Qi Blood +1.1]

[Qi Blood +1.3]

[Ding! Host has absorbed 5.2 Qi Blood! Current Total Qi Blood: 101.3!]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host! Your Qi Blood Value has surpassed 100! You have officially advanced to ’First-Grade Early Stage Demon Beast’!]

’It’s here!’

Chu Sheng was ecstatic.

A surge of power, far stronger and purer than anything he had ever felt before, instantly erupted from every cell in his body.

He felt his strength, speed, and even the toughness of his body take a qualitative leap.

Now, he felt that with a single flap of his wings, the power of his [Wing Blade Slash] was at least thirty percent stronger than before.

This was the epic upgrade that came with crossing the threshold to become a Demon Beast!

Meanwhile, after the initial searing pain and anger, Gu Yuexi belatedly realized something was wrong.

She was shocked as she “perceived” the changes within Chu Sheng’s body.

’His Qi Blood… surpassed one hundred?!’

’It… became a First-Grade Demon Beast?!’

’This… How is this possible?!’

’This morning, his Qi Blood was clearly only around fifty when I sensed it!’

’How long has it been? Not even half a day! It skyrocketed from the level of a mere beast straight to a First-Grade Early Stage Demon Beast?!’

’This makes no sense!’

Gu Yuexi’s mind raced. Suddenly, she remembered the Spiritual Cyan Snake that had been drained dry, and the herd of Iron-skinned Pigs that had just been wiped out. An incredible, yet only possible, explanation exploded in her mind.

’Could it… could it be directly converting the Qi Blood it absorbs into its own?!’

The moment this thought appeared, Gu Yuexi was completely petrified.

In her two lives, she had never heard of any creature possessing such a heaven-defying ability!

In her past life, she had stood at the apex of the world and had witnessed countless powerful Demon Beasts famous for bloodsucking.

For instance, the ’Bloodthirsty Demon Bat’ with its Emperor-level Bloodline, or the ’Netherworld Blood Sea Dragon’ with its Emperor-level Bloodline…

They could indeed grow stronger by drinking blood, but it was a long process that required constant refinement and purification.

For something like Chu Sheng to directly “copy and paste” absorbed Qi Blood onto itself was simply unheard of!

Even the Forbidden Evil Technique she herself cultivated, the >, seemed like a stumbling toddler in the face of this terrifying conversion efficiency!

After the shock wore off, Gu Yuexi felt both thrilled and worried, her emotions becoming extremely complex.

’She was thrilled because this mosquito’s growth rate was too heaven-defying. If it can keep this up… doesn’t that mean I can walk the path of Beast Taming once more?’

Her worry, however, was that… throughout all of history, there had never been a Demon Beast capable of evolving more than three times.

Even the most supreme Emperor-level Bloodlines could only evolve a maximum of three times in their entire lives.

’This mosquito’s starting point is so low. It’s already evolved twice, yet it’s only reached the First-Grade Early Stage. Even if it evolves a third time, it’d be hard-pressed to reach anything higher than the Third-Grade, right?’

’Can it… possibly evolve a fourth time?’

Before, if someone had told her a Demon Beast could evolve a fourth time, Gu Yuexi would have absolutely scoffed at the idea.

But now…

’Can this mosquito truly be judged by common sense?’

’If… if it can really continue evolving indefinitely…’

Gu Yuexi’s heart began to pound uncontrollably.

’Then perhaps… in this life, I can truly restart my Beast Taming Dao!’

At that moment, Chu Sheng contentedly retracted his proboscis. He looked at his panel and saw that he could begin his third evolution at any time.

However, the third evolution required ten long hours, so now was clearly not the right time.

“BZZZ! (Let’s go, Empress! Stop spacing out, we have business to attend to!)” he buzzed, urging on the still-dazed Gu Yuexi.

She finally snapped back to her senses.

Afterward, the human and the mosquito set off once more.

With Chu Sheng acting as a “super radar,” the rest of their journey was tense but without any real danger.

On several occasions, they narrowly brushed past powerful Demon Beasts.

Through the reconnaissance of his swarm, Chu Sheng even “saw” a Fifth-Grade Demon Beast dozing in the distance—an ’Earth-Shaking Bear’ the size of a small mountain!

To his senses, its terrifying Qi Blood fluctuations were as dazzling as the sun.

Gu Yuexi was so frightened her back was covered in cold sweat. Several times, she felt as if she had just taken a stroll past the gates of hell.

The way she looked at Chu Sheng grew increasingly complex.

She realized that her opinion of this mosquito was subtly changing.

From an initial burden, to a later source of astonishment, and now… he seemed to have become a detestable, yet exceptionally reliable… temporary ally.

Finally, after venturing more than ten kilometers deeper, the aura of the High-Level Bloodline became unprecedentedly dense.

The human and the mosquito stopped outside a valley concealed by vines and rubble.

An alluring, bloody scent was wafting from within.

Chu Sheng pushed his [Blood Food Tracking] ability to its limits, his spirit highly focused as he probed deep into the valley.

The next second, an image appeared in his mind that made his entire mosquito body tremble violently!

Deep within the valley was a source of Qi Blood as massive as a dying star, yet it was rapidly dimming.

Its Life Force was draining away at a visible rate. It was clearly gravely injured and on the verge of death.

’There really is a dying adult Demon Beast with a High-Level Bloodline!!’

And that wasn’t all!

Next to that massive source of Qi Blood lay three small sources, shining as brilliantly as diamonds!

Though they were weak, the purity of their Bloodlines was in no way inferior to that of the dying behemoth!

’Holy shit!’

Chu Sheng almost couldn’t stop himself from buzzing out loud right then and there.

’A dying adult Demon Beast with a High-Level Bloodline! And three newborn cubs!’

’Did I hit the fucking jackpot or what?!’

He immediately suppressed his ecstasy and conveyed this incredible news to Gu Yuexi with the most concise thoughts he could manage.

“Empress! Inside! Big blood-bag! Almost dead! Next to it… three… small blood-bags!”

Gu Yuexi froze for a moment upon receiving the fragmented thought.

’Blood-bag?’

Her delicate brows furrowed slightly. She pondered for a moment before it dawned on her.

’This guy’s strange vocabulary must refer to creatures that contain Qi Blood.’

’A big blood-bag… almost dead… three small blood-bags?’

Hm?!

Gu Yuexi’s breathing hitched as an astonishing deduction formed in her mind: a gravely injured, near-death adult Demon Beast with a High-Level Bloodline, and its three cubs!

An unprecedented glint of excitement flashed in her eyes.

’This surprise is too great!’

She had bankrupted herself back then, spending tens of millions, just to buy a single Spiritual Cyan Snake that had a High-Level Bloodline but also an extremely high growth risk.

To think she’d run into three of them today!

’If we can drain this adult High-Level Bloodline Demon Beast and get our hands on those three cubs… We’ll be set to take off in one fell swoop!’

The more Gu Yuexi thought about it, the more excited she became. She was just about to sneak into the valley to investigate…

Just then, however, Chu Sheng’s demeanor changed abruptly.

“Wait! Behind us… people are coming!”

His upgraded [Blood Food Tracking] clearly perceived it.

Several hundred meters behind them, more than a dozen powerful auras were rapidly rushing in their direction.

The very weakest among those dozen or so auras was that of a Fifth-Grade Martial Artist!

Among them was one aura so powerful it made even Chu Sheng’s heart palpitate with fear.

It was the aura of a Demon Beast, at least Seventh-Grade Late Stage!

It seemed to be a Contracted Beast.

In other words… among the newcomers was a terrifying figure: a Beast Tamer of at least the Seventh Grade!

’What’s going on?!’

Chu Sheng focused his perception and detected a familiar Qi Blood fluctuation within the group—it was that guy, Hu Feng!

He understood instantly.

’Dammit! So that bastard spent all this time going to get backup?!’
