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

Chapter 8: Chapter 8: The School Beauty’s Admirer? Bro, Your Judgment Is Spot On

The clamor and gossip in the classroom didn’t affect Gu Yuexi in the slightest.

Her cold, stunningly beautiful face remained impassive, as if none of this had anything to do with her.

She put away the box holding Chu Sheng, walked straight to an empty seat in the back row, and sat down. Taking a textbook from her bag, she began to flip through it by herself.

Her calm demeanor, like a mountain crumbling before her without a change in expression, left the gossiping classmates momentarily speechless.

The person at the center of it all didn’t even care. Their ruckus just made them seem classless.

And so, the murmurs gradually died down.

But the way everyone looked at Gu Yuexi was now incredibly complex.

There was pity and sympathy, but most of all, there was incomprehension.

In their eyes, this was tantamount to giving up on herself completely.

“Quiet! Everyone, quiet down!”

The young teacher at the podium slapped his desk, drawing everyone’s attention. He then cleared his throat and began the lesson.

However, as he lectured, his eyes couldn’t help but drift toward Gu Yuexi, and he sighed inwardly.

Meanwhile, inside the plastic box Gu Yuexi had placed on her desk, Chu Sheng was “listening” to everything with great relish.

’Tsk, tsk. Looks like my debut gave everyone quite a shock!’

Chu Sheng was ecstatic.

’This is great. Everyone thinks I’m useless, and that Gu Yuexi is finished. This is perfect.’

’Playing the pig to eat the tiger… It’s an old cliché, but hey, if it works, it works!’

’For now, you can all pity and lament as much as you want!’

’Just wait half a month for the joint exams to start. I… no, my blood-bag Empress will make her grand entrance and blow all your minds!’

A single class period quickly passed in this strange atmosphere.

The bell rang, and no sooner had the teacher walked out the door than a tall boy made a beeline for Gu Yuexi.

[Chen Hao, 18 years old, First-Grade Late Stage Beast Tamer.]

This was the information Chu Sheng had gleaned with a quick scan using [Blood Food Tracking].

’Have to admit, this Skill is pretty useful!’

’A First-Grade Late Stage Beast Tamer who contracted an Intermediate Bloodline Demon Beast… This guy should be considered among the Top Notch students in Class 8.’

’He probably ranks in the top thirty of the entire grade.’

“Gu Yuexi.”

Chen Hao walked up to Gu Yuexi’s desk, a smile he considered gentle on his face.

He’d always had a crush on Gu Yuexi. Unfortunately, back when she was the untouchable School Beauty, he never dared to approach her. Even though his own performance was good, he always felt the distance between them was too great.

But now, his chance had come!

The School Beauty had fallen from her pedestal, becoming a “good-for-nothing” who’d contracted a mosquito. This was the perfect time for him to step forward and display his charm!

Gu Yuexi looked up, her cold eyes glancing at him, but she said nothing.

Chen Hao didn’t mind. He cleared his throat and spoke in the tone of a seasoned veteran, “Gu, really… you don’t have to be so discouraged. A Beast Tamer’s entire future isn’t decided by their first Contracted Beast!”

“I know you probably had your reasons for… for making a choice like this! But it’s okay!”

The onlookers couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of their eyes.

’Was this that legendary “white knight” comforting everyone talked about?’

’She contracted a mosquito, and that *doesn’t* decide her whole future?’

’She’ll never reach the Fifth-Grade in her life, so she can’t even contract a second Demon Beast!’

’Her path as a Beast Tamer is completely shot, okay?!’

’This Chen Hao… Is he just spouting nonsense because he thinks Gu Yuexi doesn’t know anything about Beast Taming?’

At that moment, with a thought from Chen Hao, the large, cyan wolf that had been dozing by his seat abruptly stood up. It padded over to his side and affectionately nuzzled its head against his leg.

It was a giant wolf, its body comparable in size to a full-grown Tibetan Mastiff. Its fur was a grayish-cyan, but the oddest feature was the pair of small, fleshy wings sprouting from its back, which looked somewhat comical.

[Wind Blade Wolf, Intermediate Bloodline, First-Grade Late Stage Demon Beast. Can manipulate the Wind Element for Attacks. Can reach Fifth-Grade or higher upon reaching maturity!]

“See this? This is my partner, the Wind Blade Wolf!”
