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

Chapter 569: Chapter 568: Feng Wuji Delivers 70% of the Emperor Realm Alien Race’s Essence Blood

"Sigh..."

"Let it live."

Hearing this, Feng Wuji and Lin Yuehua heaved a great sigh of relief. The weight on their chests was finally lifted.

The Xia Family’s ancestor and the Xuanyuan ancestor’s doppelganger, on the other hand, wore looks of utter disbelief.

The Old Director paid their reactions no mind, instead looking down at the cavern below as if speaking to the mosquito inside.

"I hope I won’t regret today’s decision in the future."

Then.

The Old Director slowly turned his head, his sharp gaze landing on the two ancestors of the Xia and Xuanyuan Families. He spoke calmly,

"As for what you just said, about whether you will continue to suppress the Ancient God..."

"That is a choice for your Noble Families to make. I have no right to interfere."

"But I must remind you of one thing."

The Old Director took a step forward. He clearly had the appearance of a retired old cadre, yet he exuded an oppressive aura like the weight of a collapsing mountain, forcing the two ancestors to involuntarily take a step back, their expressions turning ugly.

"Over the years, Great Xia has given your younger generations abundant resources, privileges, and all sorts of conveniences."

"Great Xia has always treated you Noble Families well."

"So."

The Old Director narrowed his eyes and said, word by word,

"Don’t think you can threaten me by going on strike."

"I have my own considerations when I make a decision."

"If you truly feel wronged, if you decide not to continue the suppression,"

"It doesn’t matter."

"I can plug that hole by myself."

As soon as these words were spoken,

the expressions on the faces of the Xia Family ancestor and the Xuanyuan ancestor’s doppelganger instantly became uglier than if they had eaten a dead fly.

They never expected that their ultimate trump card would be utterly worthless in the Old Director’s eyes.

He wasn’t falling for their act at all!

He even made his stance clear: even if they all walked away, he alone could take all of their places!

What astonishing confidence! What utter dominance!

Having said his piece, the Old Director had no intention of staying.

He gave a casual wave, turned, and directly tore open the void before him. He stepped through and vanished without a trace.

All that remained were the four people at the scene, each with a different expression on their face.

Feng Wuji and Lin Yuehua glanced at each other, and both saw the relief in the other’s eyes.

They had witnessed the mosquito’s performance on the battlefields of the Northern Domain and didn’t believe from the bottom of their hearts that it was the kind of Fierce Beast that would turn on its master for freedom.

Though its methods were ruthless, it had always been clear about repaying kindness and enmity.

With the Old Director’s words as a guarantee today, its life was saved.

On the other side,

the expressions of the Xia Family ancestor and the Xuanyuan ancestor’s doppelganger could only be described as extremely ugly. They were thoroughly aggrieved.

But since the Old Director had spoken, they wouldn’t dare to forcibly make a move against Chu Sheng now, even if they were ten times bolder.

If they truly angered that man, life would definitely become difficult for the Noble Families.

"Good! Very good!"

The Xia Family ancestor gritted his teeth, so angry he laughed instead.

He pointed at Feng Wuji and Lin Yuehua.

"Go on, keep spoiling it!"

"I’d like to see what you, the Military Department, will use to keep it in check when this Fierce Beast is fully grown!"

"I hope Great Xia won’t regret today’s decision when that time comes!"

After saying that, the Xia Family ancestor flicked his sleeves forcefully.

He ripped open the space before him and departed, seething with rage.

The Xuanyuan ancestor’s doppelganger gave the island below a deep look.

He didn’t offer any more harsh words, merely giving a meaningful smile.

Then, his body transformed into motes of starlight, and the doppelganger dissipated on the spot.

With the departure of the two ancestors, this stretch of sea finally fell completely silent.

Feng Wuji looked down and sighed softly.

"This little guy is really something else. He almost poked a hole in the heavens."

Lin Yuehua didn’t reply.

She kept staring at the spot where the Xuanyuan ancestor’s doppelganger had dissipated, her brow slightly furrowed in thought.

Feng Wuji noticed her strange behavior and asked, puzzled,

"What’s wrong? Still worried the Noble Families will try to pull some tricks?"

Lin Yuehua shook her head.

"No."

"I just remembered something."

She turned her head to look at Feng Wuji, her eyes filled with doubt.

"The last time the Xuanyuan Family targeted Chu Sheng in the Capital City to snatch the Divine Son title, this same ancestor from the Xuanyuan Family also appeared, but it was also a doppelganger..."

"If I remember correctly,"

"this Xuanyuan ancestor..."

"it seems he hasn’t shown his true body in public for a full hundred years."

"His main body... what on earth is it doing?"

Hearing this, Feng Wuji was stunned for a moment before he too frowned.

Lin Yuehua’s reminder made him realize the problem as well.

Although Great Emperor experts can use doppelgangers, a doppelganger is still just a doppelganger. Its strength isn’t even ten percent of the main body’s, and creating and maintaining one requires immense mental effort.

They are generally only used for dealing with unimportant matters or situations where a personal appearance is inconvenient.

For a major event like today’s, which concerned the pride and future direction of the Noble Families, it truly didn’t make sense for the Xuanyuan ancestor to send only a doppelganger.

"Forget it. Let’s not worry about them."

Feng Wuji shook his head. He couldn’t be bothered to think about the dirty dealings of the Noble Families.

He drifted leisurely over to the entrance of the cave where Chu Sheng was hiding and gently tossed down a seemingly ordinary wine gourd he was holding.

The gourd passed through the rock and landed precisely at the entrance of the cave.

"Kid, I’ve brought you that thing I owed you from last time."

"Seventy percent of the Purple Nether Demon Lord’s Essence Blood is in there. Not a drop less."

"You’ve caused too much of a stir this time. Be careful."

With that said, Feng Wuji turned to leave.

Lin Yuehua watched him, looking as if she wanted to say something but held back. In the end, she said nothing, merely following silently behind him as they both tore open space and vanished from this stretch of sea.

...

Inside the cave.

Chu Sheng lay quietly on the ground, having seen everything that happened outside with perfect clarity.

Of course, he had been aware of the arrival of the five Great Emperors just now.

Faced with those five auras, as vast as a sea of stars, he didn’t even have a chance to use his [Boundless Wings] to escape.

The surrounding space had been completely locked down long ago.

He could only lie here like a lamb to the slaughter, awaiting his final judgment.

At that moment, he had truly thought he was a dead man.

He never expected...

that a high-ranking official of Great Xia, that Old Director from the Education Department, would ultimately choose to protect him.

Chu Sheng looked at the wine gourd lying quietly at the cave entrance, his heart filled with a swirl of emotions.

It seemed his life-and-death struggles on the battlefields of the Northern Domain hadn’t been in vain after all.

He would remember this favor.

Repay kindness with kindness, and enmity with enmity. This was his principle as a mosquito.

’Since Great Xia saved my life this time,’

’then in the future, if Great Xia ever faces an unstoppable crisis, I will protect you in return.’

Chu Sheng thought no more of it. With a flicker of his will, he stored the wine gourd in his Primordial Grotto Heaven.

Seventy percent of the Essence Blood of an Emperor Realm Alien Race... he wondered just how much Qi Blood Value that was worth...

But he wasn’t in the mood to absorb it right now; he had more important things to do.

His consciousness sank once more into the [Primordial Grotto Heaven].

...

Within the Primordial Grotto Heaven, inside the Witch Race’s Ancestral Hall.

A graceful figure radiating a soft glow levitated silently in mid-air.

Her features were ninety percent similar to Gu Yuexi’s, but her aura was completely different.

It was an indifference and majesty born from having weathered endless ages, as if all things in the world were but fleeting clouds in her eyes.

She was, in fact, Immortal Venerable Shi Xi.
