Reincarnated as a Mosquito, I Sucked the Reborn Empress to Tears-Chapter 193: The Thousand Feather Snow Eagle’s Plea for Help, Su Li in Trouble?
The Mu Family’s estate. The study.
Mu Xiong stood at the window. Behind him stood a man dressed entirely in black.
"Patriarch, Mu Linyuan has been shouting for half a day now. Should we perhaps..."
Mu Xiong snorted coldly.
"Hmph, ignore him. If it weren’t for that rebellious son of mine, how could my meticulously planned scheme have failed after so many years of preparation?"
"However..."
"That failure did have a point this time. The only ones who could break into my Mu’s Spirit Plant Manor without a sound would be a person or a Demon Beast who has comprehended the Spatial Realm."
"Across all of Hong Kong Island, those who have comprehended the Spatial Realm, even to the Minor Success Realm, are exceedingly rare. What’s more, that Void Escape Lotus happens to be a Spiritual Plant that contains the essence of the Spatial Realm!"
The man in black said hesitantly,
"You suspect that cockroach as well? But it’s only Fourth-Grade, and it’s a Demon Beast from Hong Kong Island University."
Mu Xiong shook his head slightly.
"I just think it’s a possibility, however unlikely. Just assign someone to keep an eye on that Cockroach Demon Beast."
"The more pressing issue right now is Lin Zhixia’s attitude toward our Mu Family. I’ve sent people to invite her and probe for information several times, but she remains quite cold."
"This affair has caused the Mu Clan’s stock price to drop significantly. The other Nine Great Clans have also suspended nearly all of their collaborations with our Mu Family!"
"Under Lin Zhixia’s lead, the other Nine Great Clans are now working together, leaving only our Mu Family out. If this continues, it’s only a matter of time before our Mu Family is kicked out of the Ten Great Clans!"
The man in black hesitated before speaking.
"Then, what are you planning to do? Perhaps we could..."
He didn’t finish his sentence, but his voice grew several degrees colder.
’The Future Empress? Right now, she’s just a little girl who hasn’t even reached the Fourth-Grade Realm. All we have to do is take care of her...’
Mu Xiong turned, glanced at him, and sneered.
"Heh, you think it’s that simple?"
"That Lin Zhixia is no simple little girl. Do you really think she’d dare to provoke my Mu Family all on her own?"
"She is an expert at leveraging the power of the various great clans. Do you think she doesn’t have people from the Nine Great Clans protecting her?"
"What’s more, she is the successor to the ’Illusion Sea Spirit Emperor’ in name. Back when Lin Zhixia cleared the Glazed Tower, the Illusion Sea Spirit Emperor personally sent a voice transmission. Though it was only a single, simple sentence, no one can bear the risk of offending a true Emperor Realm expert!"
"Hmph! That is her greatest backing and leverage right now!"
The man in black came to a sudden realization.
’No wonder that little brat dares to disregard the Mu Family so openly.’
Mu Xiong sat on the edge of his desk, tapping his fingers on the surface.
"Right now, the Mu Family cannot afford to take such a risk."
"I had you come this time to assign you another task. I want you to personally go to the Continent and secretly investigate Lin Zhixia’s background. Find out when, exactly, our Mu Family offended her!"
"This matter is most likely related to that rebellious son of mine again."
The man in black nodded. Just as he was about to leave, he stopped and asked,
"If it really is the Second Young Master, what are you planning to do?"
Mu Xiong said nothing, but his tapping fingers came to an abrupt halt.
"I understand."
The man in black slowly retreated, then vanished into a black shadow.
...
Beast Taming Academy.
Chu Sheng was in a good mood. Being able to defeat the Little Empress after her sudden surge in power proved that he had made significant progress recently.
Of course, he was even happier that the officials of the game *Spirit Martial Eternity* weren’t nearly as stingy as he had imagined.
When Chu Sheng logged into the game again the next day to check, he discovered that in addition to in-game rewards like a golden ID, there were also physical rewards!
The rewards were three Earth-level Middle-Grade Elixirs. And coincidentally, they were exactly the type of Mental Power recovery elixir Chu Sheng desperately needed:
Soul-Clearing and Divine-Restoring Pills!
Popping one could restore 2,000 Mental Power and also clear away certain negative spiritual effects!
Right now, Chu Sheng had two Concentration Earth Essence Pills and three Soul-Clearing and Divine-Restoring Pills, which in total could restore 8,000 Mental Power!
Of course, taking these pills consecutively would greatly diminish their effects. Chu Sheng wouldn’t do so unless it was an emergency.
’Elixirs are great stuff... but five is still too few!’
’I have to find a way to get more when I have the chance!’
These elixirs were delivered to the Beast Taming Academy by courier—though not by an ordinary courier service, of course.
After personally picking up the package, Chu Sheng strolled happily through the academy.
These days, his status in the academy was comparable to that of a national treasure!
Everywhere he went, he was no longer met with screams of terror, but with looks of worship, admiration, and even... hungry gazes.
Although many people online doubted him, that wasn’t the case inside the Beast Taming Academy!
A joke? A bug? A cheat?
The Divine Locust has an Emperor-level Bloodline, okay?!
He doesn’t need to cheat!
Chu Sheng’s victory was a huge relief for the Beast Tamers of the academy, who had always felt somewhat downtrodden!
The students and even the teachers of the Beast Taming Academy saw Chu Sheng, the "Divine Locust," as the hope for the academy’s rise!
With this halo of glory, never mind a cockroach—even a dung beetle would be treated like a treasure by everyone!
Of course.
Although Shepherd Mountain had strictly forbidden anyone from spreading the news about Chu Sheng having an Emperor-level Bloodline, some people still couldn’t help but let it slip. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
But it was useless to say anything.
Because no one believed it!
’Hilarious. An Emperor-level Bloodline? Such a thing has never appeared in the history of Hong Kong Island, and you’re telling me the Beast Taming Academy just happens to have one?’
’You’ve got to be kidding me!’
...
After strolling around for a bit, Chu Sheng returned to the Simulation Ecological Zone.
This place was now his home base!
During the day, he’d idly absorb some Qi Blood, and at night, he’d go to the girls’ dorms to absorb Mental Power... Life was quite fulfilling!
While feeding, Chu Sheng never forgot to help these Contracted Beasts evolve their Bloodlines.
First, he couldn’t just take without giving back. The Beast Taming Academy treated him well, so he had to contribute something in return. After all, only a win-win situation can last!
Second, the Contracted Beasts in the Beast Taming Academy were already extremely loyal to him. They could serve as long-term blood bags and as underlings in a fight, so naturally, they had to be properly nurtured.
For example, that morning, he had helped the most promising one, the Thousand Feather Snow Eagle, go through another round of evolution.
Now, the Thousand Feather Snow Eagle’s Bloodline was very close to reaching King-level Three Stars.
"SCREEE!"
Speak of the devil!
Chu Sheng had only just returned when he heard a clear eagle’s cry from the sky.
A massive snow eagle flashed past overhead!
’Hm?’
’Where is this big white bird going?’
Chu Sheng detected a trace of anxiety in its cry. Just as he was wondering about it, the Thousand Feather Snow Eagle in the sky suddenly turned around and shot down toward him like a bolt of white lightning.
The Thousand Feather Snow Eagle landed, and the gust of wind it created nearly blew Chu Sheng away. It tried to nuzzle its head against him, but Chu Sheng dodged to the side.
"Scree..."
The Thousand Feather Snow Eagle cried out softly, its voice filled with anxiety and pleading.
Chu Sheng was puzzled, but he more or less understood what it meant.
"Ssss?"
’You want my help?’
’Your master... is in trouble?’
