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

’Damn it... I’m going all in!’

Mu Linyuan didn’t hesitate for long. He gritted his teeth and made his decision.

He took a deep breath, and the Qi Blood in his body began to circulate silently. A Stealth Secret Technique, passed down through his family, activated in an instant!

His body and aura blended perfectly into the dense gray fog.

This was a secret of the Mu Family, never to be shared with outsiders!

He was confident that even under normal circumstances, no Cultivator below the Fifth-Grade would ever be able to detect him!

’And that’s not even considering this thick fog where you can’t see your hand in front of your face.’

’All I have to do is sneak close, release my Purple Fire Qilin, activate its Innate Divine Abilities, and I’m guaranteed a one-hit kill!’

With a crazed look in his eyes, Mu Linyuan crept silently toward Gu Yuexi’s position.

Closer!

Closer still!

Fifty meters! Thirty meters! Ten meters...

However, what he didn’t know was that he had been exposed the moment he began his stealthy approach.

At that moment, Chu Sheng, who was lying on the corpse of the Golden-Scaled Monocled Ape, was ”watching” him with great interest through his [Nether Vision].

’Isn’t... isn’t this that kid from Celestial Fire Province, Mu Linyuan?’

’What’s he trying to do, skulking around like that?’

’Looking at him tiptoeing around with that murderous intent... Don’t tell me he’s planning to ambush me?’

Chu Sheng was baffled.

’Dude, seriously? Is there something wrong with your head?’

’A mere Third-Grade Early Stage trying to pick a fight with me?’

’Do you have some kind of misunderstanding about the combat power I just displayed?’

’Or do you really think that I, Lord Mosquito, am so badly injured that a piece of trash like you can come and pick off the scraps?’

He was indeed badly injured, but not nearly as severely as Mu Linyuan imagined. All he needed was to drink a bit of King-level Essence Blood and take a nap, and he’d be more or less recovered.

The power of the [Ten Thousand Insects Substitute] Skill was that as long as he had enough underlings, he was theoretically immortal!

He had transferred most of the fatal damage to his underlings! He himself had only taken a tiny fraction of it!

’Hilarious. A brainless villain has come looking for death?’

Chu Sheng was amused. He couldn’t even be bothered to return to his combat form.

Dealing with an idiot who couldn’t even grasp the situation didn’t require that much trouble.

He simply, and unhurriedly, gave a slight flick of his somewhat damaged wings in the direction of Mu Linyuan’s advance.

[Soul-Bursting Flame Feather]!

In an instant!

Hundreds of dark red, fiery feathers materialized above Mu Linyuan’s head and descended silently, like the Grim Reaper’s scythe!

?!!!!

In that moment, the crazed expression on Mu Linyuan’s face froze solid!

He felt a mortal threat, one that seemed to freeze his very soul, descend upon him from above without any warning!

He snapped his head up, his pupils shrinking to the size of a pinprick!

He saw a rain of beautiful yet deadly dark red fire that had already pierced through the thick fog and was now right upon him!

’I’m going to die!’

’I’m fucking going to die!’

Mu Linyuan’s mind went blank. His survival instinct kicked in before he could even think, and he immediately summoned his Contracted Beast, the Purple Fire Qilin, from his Beast Taming Pouch!

ROAR!!!

The Purple Fire Qilin’s figure instantly appeared before him, opening its mouth to spew a torrent of violet flames in an attempt to block the deadly rain of fire!

However, it was useless.

PFFT! PFFT! PFFT!

The violet flames, hot enough to melt gold and liquefy iron, were as fragile as splashes of water before the dark red, fiery feathers. They were pierced in an instant!

Then, the rain of fire descended.

AWOOO—!!!

The Purple Fire Qilin let out a blood-curdling shriek. Its tough scales, once a source of pride, were torn apart as if they were made of paper. Blood sprayed from its body as its aura weakened to a critical point, and it immediately fell into a near-death state!

NO!!!

Mu Linyuan’s eyes looked ready to split from their sockets, his heart aching so much it felt like it was bleeding. Without a second thought, he recalled his Contracted Beast into its Beast Taming Pouch.

Before reaching the Fifth-Grade, if a Contracted Beast dies, its Beast Tamer will also die instantly!!

He watched as the remaining dozens of fiery feathers were about to land on him.

Mu Linyuan didn’t feel the fear of impending death. Instead, a miserable smile appeared on his face.

’I know I won’t die.’

’I’m not some brainless gambler; of course I wouldn’t actually bet my own life...’

The next second, the fiery feathers, powerful enough to shred steel, came crashing down.

At almost the exact same moment, the ancient Jade Pendant on his chest suddenly shattered, transforming into a gentle, white curtain of light that enveloped him, barely blocking the fatal blow.

Immediately after, an irresistible Spatial Power enveloped him.

Heh heh...

Mu Linyuan gave a bitter laugh. He had considered the possibility of failure, but he never imagined he would be so fragile in front of this mosquito!

’A single move...’

’Wasn’t it already heavily injured? How could it still take me out in one hit?!’

’Is the gap... really this wide?’

At this moment, Mu Linyuan’s composure completely shattered.

The Jade Pendant on his chest was an Earth Tier Life-Saving Magical Artifact. Every Direct Lineage disciple of the Mu Family had one. It could block one fatal attack below the King-level and would immediately teleport the user back to the Mu Family in Hong Kong Island.

He was an illegitimate son and originally hadn’t been qualified to possess one.

It was his high-and-mighty older brother who had given it to him before he came to the mainland. At the time, he had thought it was a form of humiliation and charity, but he never expected... that it would actually save his life.

An indescribable bitterness welled up in Mu Linyuan’s heart.

The thought of being teleported back to Hong Kong Island, back to that cold family, to face those mocking and scornful gazes, to face his father’s disappointed eyes... He even felt that it would have been better to just die!

Just then, a cold voice drifted out from the dense fog nearby.

”Anyone who develops the intent to kill me does not deserve to live in the same world as I do.”

Gu Yuexi slowly walked out of the thick fog, her cold, phoenix-like eyes filled with a bone-chilling killing intent.

That overwhelming killing intent felt tangible, making even Mu Linyuan, who was enveloped in the light of teleportation, feel a chill run down his spine, his very soul trembling.

He was startled.

But then, the pride that was etched into his bones, combined with the recklessness of someone with nothing left to lose, made him burst out laughing, hysterically.

”Hahaha! What do you mean?! What are you going to do? Are you going to come to the Mu Family estate in Hong Kong Island to kill me? Hahahahaha! You idiot! You don’t even use your brain when you’re making threats, do you?”

Mu Linyuan laughed with utter arrogance. He knew very well that her threat was nothing more than a joke!

’What kind of entity is the Mu Family?’

’It’s one of the Ten Great Clans of Hong Kong Island, a behemoth that’s solidly in the top five! The family has a true Emperor-level Powerhouse holding down the fort!’

’Even if I, Mu Linyuan, am just an unflavored illegitimate son, the blood of the Mu Family still flows through my veins!’

’If I were killed by someone from the mainland, the entire Mu Family would lose face!’

’To protect its own dignity, the Mu Family would absolutely protect me!’
