Reincarnated as a Mosquito, I Sucked the Reborn Empress to Tears - Chapter 403: Qin Wudao’s Kind? The Truth of the Divine Son Quota
Qin Wudao?
He hadn’t been seen at the university for a long time since the incident in Secret Realm Nine.
His sudden appearance now, coupled with the inexplicable thing he said to Gu Yuexi, immediately drew the confused gazes of the crowd.
“It’s Qin Wudao! Have his injuries healed?”
“What does he mean, ’mere credits’? That was five million! It’s the highest amount of credits ever awarded at Jing University, a new record.”
“Not just that. What he said about… the Divine Son spot? What is that?”
“I did hear something about it. It’s supposed to be a hidden reward for the international youth Martial Arts Tournament or something.”
“Forget about that for a second. What’s with Qin Wudao’s tone? Is he mocking Goddess Gu?”
“Exactly. What right does he have?”
“Hiding at home, only daring to show his face after the Martial Arts Tournament is over…”
After the Martial Arts Tournament, Gu Yuexi’s popularity was in no way inferior to what Qin Wudao’s had been.
Although the murmurs were kept low, to a Martial Artist, it was no different from someone shouting in their ear.
If this were the past, given Qin Wudao’s arrogant nature, he would have likely flown into a rage upon hearing such words and might have even directly taught these overconfident ants a lesson.
But today, he was surprisingly calm.
His face was expressionless. He didn’t even glance to the side, as if the discussions were merely the buzzing of flies, completely beneath his notice.
His gaze remained fixed on Gu Yuexi with keen interest.
He walked up to Gu Yuexi, stopping three meters away, and spoke coolly.
“Gu… classmate. You should know what I mean, right?”
“Agree to one condition, and I’ll help you fight for the spot again. How about it?”
Qin Wudao looked at Gu Yuexi, his eyes filled with certainty and confidence.
As the sole son of the Qin Family, he naturally knew the significance behind the Divine Son spot.
He didn’t believe Gu Yuexi would refuse.
And just as he expected, Gu Yuexi looked at him.
Gu Yuexi’s brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.
It wasn’t because of what Qin Wudao said, but because of the feeling he gave her. It was as if he were a completely different person.
The tone of his voice put her on guard instinctively. This was a feeling the old Qin Wudao could have never given her.
However, it was only for a moment.
She wasn’t interested in what had happened to Qin Wudao.
And she was even less interested in his proposal.
“Are you done?”
Gu Yuexi asked coolly, her voice as cold as a mountain spring.
Qin Wudao froze. “You…”
“Not interested.”
With those two words, Gu Yuexi turned and walked away.
Qin Wudao stood rooted to the spot, the smile on his face slowly fading, replaced by a calm yet chilling smirk.
“Heh heh… I wonder, are you truly one of my kind?”
“Gu. Yue. Xi.”
…
Walking along a tree-lined path on campus, her surroundings finally grew quiet.
The pocket on Gu Yuexi’s chest twitched, and a small, black mosquito head poked out.
“BUZZ BUZZ. (’What’d that punk mean just now? Someone’s trying to steal our stuff?’)”
Chu Sheng clung to the edge of the pocket, half his head showing. He let out a mosquito-sized yawn and buzzed lazily.
’Damn it, we just got back. Haven’t even had a chance to warm our seats and someone’s already after our things?’
Gu Yuexi reached out and gently pushed Chu Sheng’s head back into the pocket, speaking calmly as she walked.
“If I’m not mistaken, those old geezers from the Ten Great Clans have gotten greedy.”
“This is exactly the kind of thing they would do. It’s what they do best.”
In her previous life, she had dealt with the old men of the Ten Great Clans more than a few times.
At this, a faint, cold smile touched the corners of Gu Yuexi’s lips.
“However,”
“I don’t particularly care about the Divine Son spot.”
“But, since it’s already mine, then it *is* mine.”
“And no one can take it away.”
In this life, she was much more prepared. Compared to her last life, she was far more confident in her chances of breaking through to that realm!
Whether it was her Cultivation Technique, her state of mind, or the trump cards she held.
This so-called “Divine Son spot” that had appeared out of thin air was never part of her plan for apotheosis.
Besides…
She glanced down at her pocket.
’In this life, I also have this damn mosquito.’
Inside the pocket,
Chu Sheng listened to Gu Yuexi’s words and nodded.
“BUZZ BUZZ. (’That’s right! What’s yours is mine, and what’s mine is still mine. I’d like to see who the hell dares to try and steal it!’)”
…
For the next few days, Jing University was calm on the surface, but with turbulent undercurrents raging below.
After returning to her dorm, Gu Yuexi once again entered a state of seclusion.
Although the three Soul-Eroding Nails had preliminarily accepted her as their master, it would still take a long period of nurturing and refinement to fully unleash their power.
Especially since these things had once been used to suppress an Outer Realm Fierce Beast, they were tainted with a great deal of baleful energy and needed to be thoroughly cleansed.
They were one of her most powerful and important trump cards from her past life before she advanced to the Emperor Realm, so she couldn’t afford to be careless.
As for Chu Sheng…
His daily routine became extremely regular.
During the day, he stayed in the dorm, absorbing Qi Blood from the Qi Blood Crystal Ball. When he couldn’t absorb any more, he would fall into a deep sleep, digesting as he slept.
But as soon as night fell, he would transform into a diligent, nocturnal, corpse-collecting bee, activate his Boundless Wings, and instantly cross thousands of kilometers to descend upon the Northern Domain battlefield.
That cold mountain of corpses and sea of blood was paradise for him.
Every Alien Race corpse was a walking repository of Life Essence.
In just a few short days, the numbers in the Nether Flame Insect Nest shot up as if strapped to a rocket.
And while they remained oblivious to the outside world…
Outside, the storm of public opinion regarding the “Divine Son” had already reached its peak.
The initial spark had indeed been Qin Wudao’s words at the Credit Hall.
Afterward, an “informed source” dropped a bombshell on the Jing University forums, and then on all the major Martial Dao forums across the web.
The truth about the Divine Son spot had finally come to light!
The so-called “Divine Son” was not just an honorary title.
It was a top-secret project jointly explored by various nations, originating from an ancient Secret Realm discovered years ago deep within the Himalayas—in a peculiar and mysterious folded space.
Although the highest peak of the Himalayas is in Great Xia, this Secret Realm was not within Great Xia’s territory.
So, what kind of Secret Realm was it?
This Secret Realm was the only true Divine Level Secret Realm discovered by all of humanity to date since the beginning of the Spiritual Energy Awakening!
Over the past few years, Emperor Realm powerhouses from all over the world had jointly explored this Secret Realm several times.
They ultimately came to a stunning conclusion: the Secret Realm most likely contained the opportunity for a human to achieve godhood!
Achieve godhood!
At a time when the Alien Races were pressing in on all sides, when humanity’s strongest combatants were stuck at the Emperor Realm, and when they could only despair in the face of the Alien Races’ “Divine Level” powerhouses…
The two words “achieve godhood” represented the hope of all mankind! It was the only chance to completely drive out the Alien Races and allow the Human Race to stand tall amongst the stars!
But this Secret Realm had extremely strict Law restrictions.
Only members of the Human Race with a bone age of twenty-two or younger could enter its core, most critical area.
Thus, the “Divine Son” spot was created.
The person who became the final Divine Son would be personally escorted into the Secret Realm by a joint force of ten Emperor Realm powerhouses from around the world to vie for that sliver of a chance at godhood!
The various nations had been openly and secretly fighting over the Divine Son spot for years. If not for the present threat of the external Alien Race enemy, it might have even triggered a world war.
In the end, everyone had to compromise, deciding to determine its allocation based on the results of the global youth Martial Arts Tournament.
And this time, Gu Yuexi had led the Great Xia Team and forcefully snatched that spot back!
