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

Master Jia had specifically left the Sharp-beaked Cultivator behind to guard the entrance to the Land of Burial on Qiuming Mountain.

The Sharp-beaked Cultivator didn't have to wait long before he received a message from the Jiang Family.

"Guard Qiuming Mountain."

"If you spot a combination of a Female Cultivator and a mosquito, capture them and bring them back to the Jiang Family immediately."

The Sharp-beaked Cultivator accepted the order and lay in wait with his men for a full day and night.

「Until the early hours of the next morning.」

At the entrance to the Land of Burial, a faint spatial fluctuation suddenly rippled through the air.

The next second.

A stunningly beautiful Female Cultivator in white robes and an ordinary White-striped Aedes Mosquito perched on her shoulder appeared out of thin air.

It was none other than Gu Yuexi and Chu Sheng, returning from the Netherworld passage.

The Sharp-beaked Cultivator's eyes lit up, and he was instantly energized.

"It's them! Surround them!"

WHOOSH! A dozen or so cultivators rushed out from all directions, instantly encircling Gu Yuexi and Chu Sheng.

One by one, they summoned their Magical Treasures, their auras locking onto the pair.

"So it was you who killed our Jiang Family's Hidden Guards!"

The Sharp-beaked Cultivator stood at the very front, pointing at Gu Yuexi with an air of arrogance.

"If you know what's good for you, you'll surrender without a fight. We might even leave you with intact corpses."

"Otherwise, don't blame us for getting nasty and subjecting you to a fate worse than death!"

Faced with the encirclement of over a dozen cultivators...

Gu Yuexi's expression was blank; she didn't even furrow her brow.

She raised her right hand, and a faint Power of Law began to circulate at her fingertip.

The aura of the Divinity Transformation Realm was unleashed without reservation.

A heavy pressure instantly spread out, so oppressive that the surrounding air seemed to solidify.

The smile on the Sharp-beaked Cultivator's face froze instantly.

"D-Divinity Transformation Realm?!?!"

'The intel said this Female Cultivator was only at the Late Stage of the Profound Realm, didn't it?'

'How did she reach the Divinity Transformation Realm after just one day?'

'This cultivation speed is just ridiculous!'

'Could it be...'

'She's not the person the Jiang Family is looking for?'

The Sharp-beaked Cultivator hesitated, subconsciously taking half a step back.

But then he had another thought.

'You wouldn't find a second beautiful Beast Tamer with a Mosquito Beast Pet in all of Luoping City.'

'If it isn't Gu Yuexi right in front of me, who else could it be?'

'It's not like there just happens to be another one.'

'What are the odds of a coincidence like that?'

He gritted his teeth and, bracing himself, said...

"Hey, you... you should come back with us to the Jiang Family for questioning."

"If you're not the one the Jiang Family is looking for, we'll let you go. We definitely won't make things difficult for you."

As soon as he said this, the subordinates beside him were stunned.

'So all that talk about killing them a moment ago, and now he's just asking her to come back for questioning? How pathetic.'

Gu Yuexi couldn't be bothered to waste words on this group, nor did she have any interest in returning to some Jiang Family with them.

With a light flick of her finger, several streams of aqua-blue Sword Qi shot out, moving so fast they were nothing but afterimages.

PFFT! PFFT! PFFT!

A series of muffled thuds followed.

The dozen or so cultivators didn't even have time to react, let alone raise their Magical Treasures.

They were all struck, falling to the ground, dead.

It was clean and efficient, without any unnecessary movements or words.

Only the Sharp-beaked Cultivator reacted a little faster.

At the critical moment, he summoned an Upper-Grade Shield Treasure and held it in front of him.

CLANG!

The shield was struck by the Sword Qi and instantly covered in cracks, completely destroyed.

The immense impact sent him flying, and he crashed heavily to the ground.

A section of his chest had caved in. Severely injured, he lay in a pool of blood, unable to even stand.

He looked at the bodies strewn across the ground, filled with both shock and fear.

He never expected she would actually dare to attack, and with such ruthlessness.

"Damn you... Do you know who you've just offended?"

The Sharp-beaked Cultivator spat out a mouthful of blood and roared, his voice fierce but his heart filled with terror.

"It's the Jiang Family! One of the Eight Great Clans of Luoping City!"

"If you dare kill me, the Jiang Family will definitely avenge me!"

"Master Jiang Wei won't let you go!"

"You just wait to..."

He hadn't even finished his last word...

Gu Yuexi's figure had already flickered and appeared before him.

A flash of sword light.

The Sharp-beaked Cultivator's head rolled directly onto the ground.

His eyes were wide with disbelief.

It was clear he hadn't expected it.

'I already announced my backing, yet she still dared to kill me!'

"Noisy."

Gu Yuexi sheathed her longsword, her tone indifferent, as if she had just squashed a few ants.

Chu Sheng flew up from her shoulder.

He circled the bodies on the ground, his interest piqued.

'The Jiang Family... Interesting.'

'This Lord Mosquito loves it when families come looking for trouble.'

Back when they were on Blue Star.

The Mu Family of Hong Kong Island, the Ten Great Clans of the Capital City—one after another, they had all come looking for trouble.

The result of their actions was...

...all the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures and Cultivation Resources in their family vaults ended up in Chu Sheng's pocket.

'This is what you call having a just cause.'

'The other party started the fight, so we fought back and took their storerooms.'

'They deserved it. It's only natural.'

'Otherwise, if no family came looking for trouble, I couldn't just go and blatantly rob them, could I?'

'That would be so uncivilized!'

'I am, after all, a proper mosquito who believes in reason!'

"Little Empress, why do you think the Jiang Family is targeting us?"

"It can't be over something as trivial as killing one of their Hidden Guards, can it?"

Gu Yuexi looked at the corpses littering the ground and frowned.

"I forgot to leave one alive for questioning."

Chu Sheng rolled his compound eyes and retorted.

"Oh, please. Since when have you ever been in the habit of leaving anyone alive?"

"When have you ever not just killed them all with a single sword strike?"

Just as the human and mosquito were wondering how they had provoked the Jiang Family...

Two figures ran out from the entrance to the Land of Burial.

It was Huo Lang and Big Y.

"We know!"

Gu Yuexi's and Chu Sheng's gazes simultaneously fell upon the two of them.

Huo Lang grew a little nervous under their scrutiny. He quickly took a few steps forward, lowered his head, and respectfully explained.

"Lord Mosquito, Fairy, not long after you entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, this group of people rushed in."

"There was a man in Daoist robes among them. Everyone called him Master Jia, and he's proficient in the Time Law."

"Master Jia used Time Reversal on the body of the Jiang Family's Hidden Guard. He saw the process of the guard's death and must have also seen the Dragon Egg."

"If I'm not mistaken, the Jiang Family's target must be the Dragon Egg in your possession."

After Huo Lang finished, Big Y immediately nodded and added, as if seeking credit.

"They also interrogated us, trying to make us reveal your whereabouts."

"But we didn't tell them! We lied and said you had already left the Land of Burial through the Ice Passage."

"And that Master Jia actually believed it! He took his men and gave chase."

Chu Sheng looked at Huo Lang and Big Y.

Their eyes were bright, filled only with sincerity and admiration, without a trace of falsehood or greed.

To be able to maintain their integrity and not grow greedy in the face of a treasure like the Dragon Egg...

...and even help cover their tracks.

It was truly rare.

Beside him, Gu Yuexi nodded slightly.

"They're not lying."

Although Chu Sheng didn't know how Gu Yuexi had made that judgment...

...since she said so, it was definitely true.

He thought for a moment, then said to Gu Yuexi.

"Do you have any Cultivation Techniques or Cultivation Insights suitable for them? Give them something."

Gu Yuexi instantly understood Chu Sheng's meaning.

Huo Lang and Big Y deeply admired Chu Sheng.

They didn't just take the initiative to help them escape pursuit.

They also didn't become greedy in the face of the Dragon Egg.

This pure admiration was similar to that of Xiao Tian, Shen Yixuan, and the others back on Blue Star.

They were die-hard fans.

'If they stay in Luoping City, they might be able to provide some useful information in the future.'
