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

Inside the room.

Chu Sheng put away the Feather Blade and took out his large mouthpart—the Soul-devouring Demon Spike!

Facing the charging Illusion Beasts, Chu Sheng no longer dodged. Instead, he grabbed them and viciously stabbed them with the Soul-devouring Demon Spike.

The Soul-devouring Demon Spike seemed to be the bane of these Illusion Beasts.

Instantly, the Illusion Beasts before Chu Sheng dissipated as quickly as punctured balloons. At the same time, a system notification sounded:

[Ding! High-Purity Spiritual Energy detected. Commencing absorption.]

[Mental Power +100]

’So that’s how it is. Is each Illusion Beast materialized from about 100 Mental Power?’

To this, Chu Sheng could only think: ’Bring on a few more!’

Inside the room, Chu Sheng caught the materialized Illusion Beasts one by one and sucked them dry.

However, this also caused the Illusion Array’s Mental Power to dwindle. Soon, Chu Sheng discovered that the Illusion Beasts materializing in the room were growing weaker, and the Mental Power he could absorb from them was decreasing.

[Mental Power +60]

[Mental Power +40]

[...]

[Mental Power +10]

When the absorbed Mental Power dropped to 10, the room could no longer form any more Illusion Beasts.

’What a pity. This Illusion Array didn’t contain much Mental Power. The Array Master probably never expected there’d be someone who could absorb Mental Power.’

Chu Sheng did a quick calculation. He had absorbed a total of 630 Mental Power from these Illusion Beasts!

[Current Mental Power: 2910]

’Just a little more, and I’ll reach the Third-Grade Middle Stage!’

’My Mental Power is really taking off now!’

After the Illusion Beasts completely vanished, the illusory room began to shake. A few seconds later, the white room completely disintegrated!

’The Illusion Array? That’s it?’

Chu Sheng found himself back in reality. It turned out that he had been standing at the cave entrance the entire time, without moving an inch!

He glanced around.

In the center of this fourth level was a small pond, with a white mist drifting over it... No, it wasn’t mist. It was Spiritual Qi so dense that it had condensed into a Spiritual Mist!

This must be the location of the Spiritual Spring. The pond must be filled entirely with Spiritual Spring Water!

As Chu Sheng walked forward, he could faintly make out a lotus-shaped Spiritual Plant in the center of the Spiritual Spring pond.

’Could this be the Eighth-Grade Spiritual Plant the Mu Family has been cultivating!’

’An Eighth-Grade Spiritual Plant... How many Evolution Points could I absorb? And how much Realm Comprehension?!’

Chu Sheng’s heart instantly began to pound. He carefully approached the edge of the pond. However, at that very moment, he heard sounds from outside the door to the fourth level.

Chu Sheng froze!

’Someone’s here?’

’It looks like they’ve already discovered what happened on the second and third levels!’

’So, what do I do?’

’If I leave now, I can probably still make it! But if I get greedy for that Eighth-Grade Spiritual Plant, I might not be able to escape at all! I may have a lot of tricks up my sleeve, but my current realm is still only the Melting Furnace Third Transformation, not even Fourth-Grade.’

’There are probably Sixth-Grade, Seventh-Grade, or even Eighth-Grade Realm experts in this Mu Manor. In a head-on fight, I don’t stand a chance!’

’Leave or stay?’

Chu Sheng glanced in the direction of the door, then back at the lotus in the center of the Spiritual Spring.

’Leave? Like hell!’

’The risk is huge, but so is the reward!’

’Go for it!’

The New Roach Battle Treasure flew up, turning into an afterimage as it rushed into the Spiritual Mist.

...

「At the same time.」

Outside the door to the fourth level.

Zhou Yu was grabbing Mu Linyuan’s palm and pressing it against the scanner on the door.

”Access denied.”

”Access denied.”

Zhou Yu’s expression darkened.

’Damn it, this lock is too smart. It must have detected that Mu Linyuan is unconscious.’

’The only thing to do is wake him up!’

Zhou Yu exchanged a look with the person next to him, then slapped Mu Linyuan across the face.

”SLAP!”

”Wake up!”

”SLAP!”

”Damn it, wake up!”

”SLAP! SLAP! SLAP! SLAP!”

Just as Zhou Yu was slapping Mu Linyuan’s face again and again, he suddenly felt the air around him freeze. He turned his head and saw a middle-aged man with a commanding presence appear out of thin air!

When Zhou Yu and the others saw the newcomer, they shuddered and hurriedly knelt on the ground.

”Patriarch Mu!”

”Patriarch Mu, someone broke into the manor and is destroying the Spiritual Plants on a massive scale! I was only trying to open this door, and in my desperation, I resorted to waking Young Master Mu.”

The newcomer was none other than the Mu Family Patriarch, Mu Hong’s older brother, and Mu Linyuan’s biological father... Mu Xiong!

Mu Xiong’s face was ice-cold. He glanced at the unconscious Mu Linyuan and snorted coldly.

”Hmph. I’m already aware of the situation!”

”What’s there to panic about? There’s an Eighth-Grade Illusion Array on the fourth level. Anyone below King-level who enters it will be trapped for at least an hour!”

”Going by the time, if that person dared to break into the fourth level, they must be trapped right now!”

”Drag this disgraceful son of mine away!”

Mu Xiong stepped forward and pressed his hand on the door.

”Hmph. I’d like to see who dares come to my Mu Manor to die!”

...

On the fourth level, the special five-meter-thick door slowly opened.

Mu Xiong strode in confidently. The next second... his entire world came fucking crashing down!

The Illusion Array had already been triggered and destroyed. There were no spiritual fluctuations whatsoever!

”Impossible! Impossible!”

In a flash, Mu Xiong rushed to the side of the Spiritual Spring and waved his arm forcefully.

The Spiritual Mist was instantly dispersed. Mu Xiong’s eyes were fixed on the center of the pond.

There, on the water’s surface, the blooming Top-Grade lotus that had once been there was gone, leaving only a bare stalk...

”My... my Void Escape Lotus!”

BOOM!

A violent aura erupted from Mu Xiong, blasting the Spiritual Spring Water in front of him and sending it splashing everywhere.

His eyes were bloodshot, staring fixedly at the spot where the lotus had been!

The Void Escape Lotus was a Top-Grade Eighth-Grade Spiritual Plant that he had spent a fortune to acquire, even pouring in half of the Mu Family’s entire assets. Its fate was tied to the harvest from an important Secret Realm in the future. The Mu Family had planned for this for thirty years—thirty long years!

But now, it was just... gone?

Nearby, Mu Linyuan finally woke up groggily. When he saw Mu Xiong’s figure, his body trembled violently, and he scrambled over to him.

”Dad, it’s not my fault! The door was locked tight! I never imagined someone could actually get in!”

”Dad!”

Mu Xiong lowered his head, his bloodshot eyes glaring at Mu Linyuan as a monstrous rage surged within him.

”YOU SON OF A BITCH!”

”You worthless, disgraceful brat! You little bastard! GET THE FUCK OUT!!!”

Mu Xiong slapped him viciously, sending Mu Linyuan flying. He crashed hard into a corner of the wall and was knocked unconscious, blood streaming down his face.

”Find him! Hunt him down!”

”I don’t care what it takes, you find that damn thief for me!”

”Go now! Mobilize all of the Mu Family’s forces!!!”

Mu Xiong roared hysterically...

「Meanwhile.」

A thousand meters underground... Chu Sheng was carrying a giant lotus, running for his dear life!

’Come on, my little bros, dig with all you’ve got! If we don’t get out of here, we’re toast!’
