Reincarnated as a Mosquito, I Sucked the Reborn Empress to Tears-Chapter 140: The Empress Also Has a Healer Function?

Chapter 140: Chapter 140: The Empress Also Has a Healer Function?

’Just who would pay such an astronomical price to have me killed?’

’I’ve offended quite a few people since my rebirth, but they were all just small fries. Take Leng Yan from the Jingzhe Guild, for example. She couldn’t possibly afford the fee, even if she sold everything she owned.’

’It couldn’t be... one of those Cult Organizations, could it?’

Gu Yuexi’s expression grew grave.

’It seemed only those lunatics would harbor such baseless, all-consuming hatred for the Federation’s geniuses, seeking to stamp them out at any cost...’

’If it really is them, then this could get troublesome.’

’But that’s all just speculation for now. Nothing is certain.’

She knew the assassin was telling the truth. Hell Gate’s confidentiality system was Top Notch, among the best in the world. It was impossible to get the mastermind’s name out of him.

In that case...

Gu Yuexi’s eyes turned cold. She sent a thought to Chu Sheng through their Blood Covenant.

"He’s of no more use."

"BZZT! (Alright, sending him on his way!)"

Chu Sheng instantly understood the Empress’s meaning. It was time to silence their captive for good.

However, he was truly exhausted. The high-intensity battle had drained nearly all his stamina, and his entire body ached terribly.

He thought for a moment, then sent another thought to Gu Yuexi.

"BZZT! (Gimme some more of that stuff! You know, the warm, comfy stuff!)"

Gu Yuexi, shrouded in the dense fog: "..."

She could feel a vein throbbing on her forehead again.

’This guy... does he really think this Empress is his personal power bank?!’

Though frustrated, she knew this wasn’t the time to argue about it.

She sighed helplessly. An almost imperceptible, vibrant green light flashed between her eyebrows and vanished.

The next second, a stream of incomparably pure Spiritual Energy, brimming with the aura of life, slowly poured into Chu Sheng’s body through the Blood Contract Mark.

"BZZT! (Oh, yeah!)"

Chu Sheng was so comfortable he almost moaned out loud.

He could clearly feel the meridians and organs damaged in the fight healing at a visible rate. Even his depleted stamina was rapidly recovering.

’This feels even better than absorbing King-level Essence Blood!’

’The Empress-brand healer! You have to try it to believe it!’

On the other side, however, Gu Yuexi’s face had turned slightly pale, and her frustration had reached its peak.

The Life Realm.

It was one of the ten special Realms. Its healing effects surpassed any Healing Elixir and could be described as heaven-defying.

But at the same time, the drain on her Mental Power was immense.

When Chu Sheng was locked in a bloody battle with the giant ape, she had been secretly channeling the Life Realm, "enchanting" him through their Blood Covenant to constantly heal his injuries.

Because of this, her Mental Power was now almost completely depleted.

Originally, she had planned to use her Fire Realm to amplify the mosquito’s Nether Flame Attack, going for a brute-force DPS build.

But who would have thought that his Nether Flame was so unique? It was completely unaffected by her external Flame Realm, making it impossible to boost his damage!

Left with no choice, she had to settle for second best and play the role of a healer.

It was... The more she thought about it, the angrier she got!

’The great Beast Taming Empress! In my past life, I commanded tens of thousands of beasts, a master strategist with countless tactics at my fingertips! My Contracted Beasts obeyed every command without question, attacking wherever I pointed!’

’But in this life, I’m stuck with this ridiculously clever mosquito that doesn’t listen to my commands at all, fighting entirely on its own whims!’

’Me, his Master, reduced to being a heal-bot in the backline?!’

’What kind of mess is this?!’

As Gu Yuexi was silently fuming, Chu Sheng, now recovered to about seventy or eighty percent, made his move.

"BZZZZ—!"

With a single thought, the more than eight thousand surviving Spirit-Devouringg Worms, like a Death God Legion that had received its orders, surged toward the terrified assassin in an overwhelming swarm!

"No! NO—!"

The assassin let out a desperate roar, but his voice was quickly drowned out by the endless drone of the insects.

「Less than three minutes later.」

It was all over.

Just before the swarm completely consumed him, the assassin shrieked a final curse:

"FUCK! Just you wait! With a bounty this high, I’m definitely not the only assassin! You... you’re dead!! AHHH!!"

Hearing this, Gu Yuexi’s brow furrowed even deeper.

She knew the assassin was right.

A bounty of this magnitude would undoubtedly attract desperados from all over the world. She would likely face an endless series of assassination attempts.

’It seems the trip to Hong Kong Island will be even more dangerous than I thought.’

The mainland was, after all, the core territory of the Federation; assassins there would show some restraint.

But a place like Hong Kong Island was a true city of sin. There, those desperados would act with absolute impunity, stopping at nothing.

’Should I wait for this to blow over before going to Hong Kong Island?’

’But...’ The thought of Mu Linyuan’s ugly, sneering face made her frown.

’If I don’t kill someone like him soon, it might destabilize my cultivation heart.’

’Besides, I’m in desperate need of a Mental Power treasure. This mosquito’s growth Speed is terrifying.’

’Is there a perfect solution?’

Just as Gu Yuexi was lost in thought.

RUMBLE—

The sound of heavy, rapid footsteps echoed from the dense fog in the distance.

Immediately after, a large contingent of soldiers in black Combat Suits, armed with heavy weapons, rushed over.

Each of them wore a special Magical Artifact designed to defend against Spiritual Attacks. They were clearly well-prepared.

Leading them was a burly, middle-aged officer whose aura was as solid as a mountain. He was a Top Notch Martial Artist at the Peak of Fourth-Grade!

As soon as he entered the area, he cupped his hands around his mouth and yelled anxiously:

"Where’s the Fourth-Grade Demon Beast?! Where’s Gu Yuexi?! Are you alright?!"

"Gu! Can you hear me?! Don’t be afraid! We’re here! Forget one Fourth-Grade Demon Beast; even if a hundred of them showed up, they wouldn’t be able to touch a single hair on your head!"

Gu Yuexi: "..."

Chu Sheng: "..."

’What timely reinforcements.’

’Fucking perfect timing. Are they all here for the funeral feast?’

Gu Yuexi couldn’t be bothered to waste words. She casually picked up the Netherworld Calm Mist Bead from the ground, and with a thought, retracted the dense fog that had enveloped the entire plain.

In an instant, their vision cleared.

When the officer and all the soldiers behind him saw the grisly scene before them...

...they all froze mid-stride.

The mountain-like corpse of the Golden-Scaled Monocled Ape lay nearby, covered in hideous, terrifying wounds.

The alloy arena and the ground were pockmarked with huge craters and spiderweb cracks, silently testifying to the ferocity of the recent battle.

The middle-aged officer’s pupils constricted. He subconsciously glanced at the unscathed Gu Yuexi, swallowed hard, and spoke, his face a mask of astonishment.

"Gu... Gu, it’s good that you’re alright! What... what in the world happened here?"

Gu Yuexi gave him a cool glance.

Then, she raised a slender finger and pointed expressionlessly at Chu Sheng, who was currently perched on the Demon Beast’s corpse, trying to suck out a bit of its brain.

The officer followed her finger. When he got a clear look at the White-striped Aedes Mosquito—less than a centimeter long, with a faint aura and even slightly damaged wings—he was completely stunned.

The expression on his face shifted rapidly from confusion to bewilderment, and finally, to utter absurdity.

’No way...’

’It couldn’t have been this thing, could it?’

’He had considered the possibility for a fleeting moment but had instantly dismissed it!’

’Even though this mosquito was rumored to be something special, but still...’

’A Peak of Third-Grade mosquito... killed a Fourth-Grade Middle Stage Golden-Scaled Monocled Ape?!’

’Is that even possible?!’

’But... given the scene, there doesn’t seem to be any other explanation, does there?’

The officer stood there, dumbfounded, trying to process the unbelievable scene.

「An unknown amount of time passed.」

He slowly, difficultly, turned his head to look at his equally dumbstruck soldiers, his face filled with an unprecedented gravity and horror. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"All units, on high alert!!"

He suddenly let out an earth-shattering roar.

"I think... we’ve been caught in an Illusion Technique!!!"

Chu Sheng: "..."

Gu Yuexi: "..."
