Reincarnated as a Mosquito, I Sucked the Reborn Empress to Tears-Chapter 258: The Mu Family’s Plan, No One Gets Away
Gu Yuexi watched Chu Sheng repeatedly poking at her. Instead of getting annoyed, a hint of smug pride appeared on her face.
’How about that?’
’This Empress won’t lose to you!’
’You think you’re the only one who can create clones?’
Actually, Gu Yuexi had only mastered this Clone Secret Technique in the last two days.
This was a Clone Secret Technique she had developed herself in her past life, extrapolating it from a fragmented Magic scroll she’d found from an Ancient Sect.
It required consuming both Mental Power and Qi Blood to use.
The minimum requirement for both Qi Blood and Mental Power was Fourth-Grade.
Gu Yuexi’s Qi Blood Realm had originally only been at the Peak of Third-Grade. After interrogating Ghost, she had entered seclusion for a night and finally broken through to the Fourth-Grade Early Stage.
Currently, Gu Yuexi’s realms were: Fourth-Grade Middle Stage in Mental Power and Fourth-Grade Early Stage in Qi Blood. She had broken through to the Middle-Grade Realm in both.
This also unlocked some Secret Techniques that required Qi Blood, which she couldn’t use before.
For example, the nameless Clone Secret Technique she had just used.
After confirming that Gu Yuexi’s clone truly had a physical body of flesh and blood, Chu Sheng curiously asked for more details.
TAP TAP TAP:
"By the way, how long can this clone of yours last? What’s its strength?"
Hearing this, Gu Yuexi’s smug expression returned, but she pretended to remain calm.
"This Clone Technique is one I created myself based on an Ancient Sect’s Secret Technique. With my current Qi Blood, I can maintain it for a full 30 minutes!"
"As for its strength, the clone’s Mental Power and Qi Blood allow it to exert about 10% of my full power!"
Though she had finished speaking, Gu Yuexi was still gloating internally:
’What do you think, you damned mosquito? This Empress is amazing, right?’
’Inheriting ten percent of my power is already enough to dominate anyone in the same realm!’
’Besides, a duration of thirty minutes is extremely long compared to the other clone techniques I saw in my past life!’
Beside her, Chu Sheng nodded.
"Mhm, yeah, that’s decent, I guess."
Hearing the perfunctory tone in Chu Sheng’s voice, Gu Yuexi raised an eyebrow.
"Hmph, of course it is."
"So, what about that clone of yours?"
Chu Sheng:
"Mine? Oh, it can last for about twelve hours and only inherits half of my base strength. It’s barely usable, I suppose..."
Gu Yuexi: "..."
The rare bit of expression on her face vanished instantly, returning to her usual deadpan look.
...
Gu Yuexi’s clone could only last for thirty minutes.
They had to set off immediately.
「Inside the Nangong Family estate.」
Gu Yuexi and Chu Sheng were seen emerging from a secret chamber and then flying away at high speed.
Immediately after, another Gu Yuexi and Chu Sheng appeared, only to vanish into thin air.
Not far away, an Elder from the Nangong Family rubbed his eyes.
"Pa-Patriarch, was I just seeing things?"
Beside him, the Nangong Family’s Patriarch, Nangong Shuo, stared in the direction Gu Yuexi had left, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
He didn’t answer the Elder beside him. Instead, he immediately gave an order:
"Assemble the family Elders! Be ready on my command!"
...
「Hong Kong Island, Viyar Port, South Shore.」
The normally bustling port was completely deserted tonight.
It was frighteningly quiet.
A buzzing sound echoed.
Chu Sheng’s figure flew out of the darkness, with Gu Yuexi following close behind.
The human and the mosquito landed on the highest point of the port—the top of a giant crane’s boom.
Gu Yuexi looked down, her gaze sweeping the area.
She spoke coldly:
"Patriarch Mu, since you invited me here, stop hiding."
As her voice fell.
Runes of an Array suddenly lit up across the entire port.
Then, Mu Xiong’s figure slowly emerged from a warehouse.
"Heh heh, Mu Yuexi, you truly are the Future Empress. You knew this was an ambush set by my Mu Family, yet you still dared to come."
"You even dared to come alone."
Mu Xiong slowly floated into the air until he was at the same height as Gu Yuexi.
His face was calm, but his eyes held a surging, frenzied killing intent.
"I’m very curious. What is the source of your confidence?" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
"Could it be that after being called the Future Empress so many times, you’ve really started to think of yourself as an Empress?"
Mu Xiong had originally planned to strike immediately and kill Gu Yuexi and Chu Sheng.
But now that the moment was here, he felt that simply killing her would be letting her off too easily! This was especially true now that he saw she hadn’t brought any backup, and victory was already in his grasp.
The desire to see terror, fear, and even begging on Gu Yuexi’s face grew stronger and stronger.
This wasn’t mindless; it was simply human nature.
Gu Yuexi spoke faintly:
"Patriarch Mu, Mu Linyuan’s death was his own fault, and the fault of your Mu Family."
"I’ve come only to take what I want."
Hearing this, Mu Xiong burst into wild laughter.
"Hahaha! What a ’his own fault’!"
"Mu Yuexi, do you think you can be so brazen just because you have the Nine Great Clans and that fellow Ye Qingzhou backing you?"
"Or..."
As Mu Xiong spoke, he turned and glared at Chu Sheng on her shoulder.
"Or is it that you feel you can act so fearlessly because you have this mosquito and can escape at any time with Instant Teleportation?"
Gu Yuexi didn’t speak.
But Chu Sheng buzzed smugly a couple of times!
’Yeah, what about it!’ Their two clones were here to stall for time anyway. If Mu Xiong liked to run his mouth, then let him talk. The more he talked, the better.
Mu Xiong laughed wildly again and continued:
"Heh heh, I admit, this damned Contracted Beast of yours is really something."
"Gu Yuexi, you dared to come alone precisely because you thought you could escape at any time, didn’t you?"
"And I was counting on that! Indeed, indeed! Hahaha!"
"Unfortunately for you, you’re not leaving today!"
As his voice fell, the Array around the port lit up again, sending out ripples of spatial energy.
At the same time, several more Elders appeared behind Mu Xiong.
"Gu Yuexi, today, you will join Mu Linyuan in death!"
BOOM!
...
「Meanwhile.」
On the vast sea, twenty thousand meters from Hong Kong Island.
A massive ship, concealed by a Concealing Array, was moving at high speed.
Onboard, the direct lineage disciples of the Mu Family watched the lights of Hong Kong Island disappear completely, their faces filled with hatred.
"I, Mu Tian, swear that I will one day lead the Mu Family back to Hong Kong Island and kill our way back!"
"Heh heh, that Gu Yuexi and her mosquito should be dead by now, right?"
"Let’s be real, she’s just a Fourth-Grade Realm Beast Tamer. With so many of our family’s Elders making a move, killing her is a piece of cake."
"If you ask me, killing her is a waste. We should raise that so-called Future Empress into a Female War Slave for our Mu Family. We could have our fun with her, and she could serve the family!"
"Hahaha, great idea! The Future Empress... every one of us direct lineage disciples of the Mu Family can have a turn!"
These direct lineage disciples of the Mu Family joked brazenly, venting the confusion and resentment in their hearts.
They, who had once held a respected position on Hong Kong Island, had now been reduced to dogs fleeing in panic with their tails between their legs.
Just then, someone suddenly cried out in alarm.
"Holy shit, look! What are those two glowing things up ahead?"
"It looks like... a person? Wearing glowing Battle Armor? And a... mosquito?"
"It’s Gu Yuexi and that mosquito!!!!"
"How is that possible?! How could they be here?!"
"Quick, go inform the Elders! And activate the Defense Barrier, now!"
The cheerful laughter from moments ago instantly turned into panicked shouts.
On the massive ship, a powerful Barrier lit up, enveloping the entire vessel.
"Everyone, don’t panic! This Barrier was set up by an Eighth-Grade Array Master! There’s no way they can get in..."
As he was speaking, he suddenly saw it.
The mosquito, clad entirely in Profound Black Battle Armor that glowed with a faint blue light, flew right up to the Barrier.
Its claw slowly traced a line across the Barrier’s surface. The next second...
...the entire, massive barrier of the Law Profound Passage shattered with a deafening crash!
