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

Hong Kong Island University, at the Secret Realm exit.

Chen Shouzheng and several other deans had all gathered here. They had been standing guard for two full hours.

The atmosphere was terrifyingly somber, and everyone wore a grim expression.

Time ticked by, second by second, yet they remained completely unaware of the situation inside the Secret Realm.

However, everyone had a dreadful suspicion in their hearts.

Two whole hours! Under the assault of a beast tide of that magnitude, the students... How could they possibly have survived?

Not far away, on the Central Playground.

The large screen on the main stage was also broadcasting live footage of the Secret Realm exit.

Tens of thousands of students below the stage had also been waiting for two hours, their eyes glued to the image of the Wormhole on the screen.

By now, everyone was just clinging to that one-in-a-hundred last sliver of hope.

...

At the Secret Realm exit.

Finally, through the efforts of two Great Success masters of the Spatial Realm, the spatial turbulence in the Wormhole had subsided slightly.

”Principal Chen, the entrance to the Secret Realm should be accessible in a few more minutes.”

”However, I have some bad news that I must share.”

”Just now, while inside, we sensed the aura of a Seventh-Grade Demon Beast. It seems to be near the Secret Realm exit...”

What? A Seventh-Grade Demon Beast?

The despair on everyone’s faces deepened, their complexions turning even paler. Principal Chen Shouzheng swayed and nearly collapsed!

A Seventh-Grade Demon Beast!!!

Even that Gu Yuexi and her cockroach probably wouldn’t survive, let alone save anyone else!

The last shred of hope everyone had been desperately clinging to was utterly shattered at that moment.

”Deans, take the students from your respective academies and go back.”

Chen Shouzheng’s voice was hoarse, as if he had aged several years in an instant.

But just then, a sharp eagle’s cry suddenly pierced the air...

”SCREEE!”

’That’s...’ Shepherd Mountain, the dean of the Beast Taming Academy, was the first to react, whipping his head toward the Secret Realm exit.

A giant white eagle flew out, carrying Su Li and a group of teachers. Close behind it, a procession of Contracted Beasts emerged from the gaping Wormhole, each carrying poisoned and injured students on their backs.

And at the very end came a figure with a cold, aloof air, accompanied by a giant cockroach.

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

Then came boundless elation!

They didn’t die!

They’re alive! They’re actually alive!

Some of the teachers rushed over to check on the students’ conditions. Shepherd Mountain, overcome with emotion, hurried to Su Li’s side and asked:

”Su Li, what happened? How did you survive?”

Su Li looked back at the beautiful, aloof figure and the giant cockroach beside her, then said:

”It was the Divine Locust, and Lin... Gu Yuexi. They saved us. Not only that, they killed all the Demon Beasts in the tide.”

What?

Everyone was shocked and turned to stare at Gu Yuexi and Chu Sheng, who had emerged last.

Before they could ask any questions, however, a grim voice cut in:

”Wait a minute!”

”You say Gu Yuexi saved you, but what about the people from our Array Academy? Why are there only two of them? Why haven’t the others come out?”

The speaker was none other than Zhao Hongwu, the dean of the Array Academy.

He wasn’t the only one; the deans of several other academies had also noticed something was wrong:

”That’s right, why are so many of our Mind Master Academy’s people missing?”

”And our Fengshui Academy...”

As they spoke up, the crowd realized that of the more than one hundred students and teachers who had entered, only seventy-some had come out.

So, the rest of them...

Zhao Hongwu’s expression was now extremely ugly, even darker than before. Of all the academies, his had the fewest survivors—only two.

He glared furiously at Gu Yuexi and demanded:

”What the hell happened? Didn’t you say all the Demon Beasts were killed? Then why is it that the people from my Array Academy didn’t survive?”

”Gu Yuexi, we already know your real identity. Since you had the power to handle the beast tide, you must have been able to save everyone, right?!”

”Tell me, did you deliberately choose not to save them?!”

Under Zhao Hongwu’s furious questioning, everyone’s gaze fell on Gu Yuexi. The shock and gratitude from moments ago had now turned into suspicion and anger.

At that moment, Su Li suddenly gritted her teeth and said:

”Those people chose to leave on their own...”
