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

This Liu Ming was just an invisible nobody at school with below-average grades. The Demon Beast he had contracted was of the most common Low Level Bloodline; one could say he had no future to speak of.

But this person… was very clever.

In her past life, after obtaining the Spiritual Crystal, he had immediately found a place within the Secret Realm and, despite the enormous risk, directly refined and absorbed it.

If he had foolishly carried the Spiritual Crystal out of the Secret Realm, the major powers that came flocking would have fought over the Crystal Stone, not him.

As for how a mediocre, underachieving student like Liu Ming managed to obtain such a supreme treasure in the Secret Realm, that had always been an unsolved mystery.

Just then, another memory from her past life suddenly flashed through Gu Yuexi’s mind.

She remembered that during this very assessment in her past life, a full half of the students from the Array specialization had died! The incident had caused quite a stir.

The City Lord’s Mansion had even launched an investigation, but it ultimately came to nothing.

Now, seeing this scene unfold before her…

A “lucky one” who obtained the ultimate prize.

A group of Array Masters who died tragically in the Secret Realm.

Connecting these two events…

Gu Yuexi instantly realized.

’The deaths of these Array Masters are most likely connected to Liu Ming!’

To verify her suspicion, Gu Yuexi held her breath, her consciousness sinking into her Sea of Consciousness once more as she silently cast a Secret Technique for eavesdropping—the Wind Language Technique.

In an instant, the conversation from the distant lakeshore clearly reached her ears.

She heard Liu Ming say to the man who appeared to be the lead Array Master, his face wreathed in smiles, “Brother Zhang, rest assured, my ancestral Treasure Hunting Compass is absolutely reliable! There is definitely a Spiritual Crystal at the bottom of this lake!”

The Array Master known as Brother Zhang nodded arrogantly. “It had better be there,” he said coolly. “Otherwise, you know the consequences.”

“It is! It’s definitely there!”

Liu Ming nodded and bowed obsequiously, swearing, “This lake is bottomless and the water pressure is immense. There’s no way for us to get down there.”

“That’s why I need you big brothers to make a move and set up this Sea Flipping Array. Once we drain the lake, the treasure will be ours for the taking, right?”

He rubbed his hands together, a simple, honest-looking smile on his face. “When we get it, I… I’m not greedy! Just let me absorb a tiny bit of the Spiritual Crystal’s Energy, and I’ll be perfectly happy! The rest will all belong to you, my brothers!”

“Good. You know your place.”

Hearing this, the Array Masters exchanged glances, satisfied and greedy smiles spreading across their faces.

That was a Spiritual Crystal, after all!

For anyone practicing Spiritual Cultivation, it was a supreme treasure they could only dream of obtaining!

It was more than enough to make them abandon the assessment and risk it all!

…

“BZZZ? (Empress, I think… there’s something big at the bottom of this lake?)”

’Hm?’

Gu Yuexi, who had been focused on eavesdropping, was taken aback.

Chu Sheng’s voice buzzed again. “BZZZ! (It’s a Second-Grade Middle Stage Ink Jade Profound Turtle!)”

After his Mental Power increased, the perception range of his Blood Food Tracking had naturally grown by 50 meters, reaching a radius of 850 meters.

Because of this, he could just barely sense an extremely powerful life force lying dormant at the bottom of the deep lake.

[Species: Ink Jade Profound Turtle (Mutated)]

[Bloodline: Low Level (Three Stars)]

[Grade: Second-Grade Middle Stage]

’Tsk, tsk… to think there’s an old turtle down there.’

Chu Sheng mused to himself as he looked at the information from his Blood Food Tracking.

’This old turtle’s Bloodline Level might be low, but its strength is decent. One sip… should get me over ten points of Qi Blood, right?’

’If I could kill it and suck it dry, I could probably get seventy or eighty points of Qi Blood! And maybe a dozen or so Evolution Points, too!’

’My fourth evolution would be a sure thing!’

“There’s a Second-Grade or higher Demon Beast at the bottom of the lake?”

Receiving the general gist of the information from Chu Sheng, Gu Yuexi’s eyes narrowed.

’So that’s how it is.’

’In my past life, Liu Ming must have used these poor Array Masters, making them set up an Array to provoke the Second-Grade Demon Beast at the bottom of the lake.’
