Reincarnated as a Mosquito, I Sucked the Reborn Empress to Tears - Chapter 419 - 420: Situation Reversal, Get Those Old Fogeys Over Here
The next second.
“AHHH—!!!”
A piercing shriek erupted from the group of noblewomen.
Everyone whipped their heads around.
The Fire Domain, which had been a hundred meters away, had somehow bizarrely expanded and shifted its position!
Like a gaping, bloody maw, it instantly swallowed Lady Liu, Liu Yueyao, and the other six noblewomen who hadn’t had time to react!
This was Chu Sheng’s true objective!
’What’s the point of killing one Old Mo? To catch the thief, you must first catch the king! Capturing this group of pampered, high-status women—that was the real checkmate!’
“Dammit!!”
The few Emperor Realm bodyguards who had charged out only just now realized what had happened.
A mosquito…
Was actually using military strategy against them?!
“Save Lady Liu!!”
They roared and tried to charge back.
But it was too late.
Inside the Fire Domain, countless chains of fire, like frenzied crimson dragons, instantly bound the seven women and Liu Yueyao tightly!
“Ah! It’s so hot! My clothes!”
“Let me go! Do you have any idea who I am?!”
“Help! You bunch of useless trash, come and save me!”
These noblewomen, who were usually so high and mighty, were now like a flock of broiler chickens thrown into an oven, screaming and struggling without a shred of dignity.
Although they all had some level of Cultivation, some were even High Grade Martial Artists.
But under the suppression of Chu Sheng’s Fire Domain, and being accustomed to a life of luxury, they had no power to resist whatsoever.
A few Emperor Realm bodyguards rushed to the edge of the Domain, about to forcibly break through it to save them.
Suddenly.
SWOOSH!
A streak of black light shot past.
The inconspicuous embroidery needle floated silently at the very front of the Domain, aimed right at them.
From its tip emanated the aura of the Breaking Domain Law, an aura that made the hearts of all Emperor Realm Powerhouses pound with terror.
The bodyguards’ advance came to a screeching halt.
They looked at the half-dead Old Mo on the ground, then back at the needle, their faces filled with deep apprehension.
“No one moves.”
Gu Yuexi’s voice came from within the Domain.
She walked step by step toward the suspended Lady Liu, her gaze as cold as a blade.
“Or you die.”
The scene instantly became a stalemate.
Inside the Fire Domain, waves of heat rolled endlessly.
But this heat sent a bone-chilling cold through the seven trapped noblewomen.
Lady Liu was suspended in midair by several chains of fire in a spread-eagle position. Her priceless couture gown was burned to tatters, revealing large patches of scorched skin.
Her meticulously styled hair was now a rat’s nest, and her face, streaked with soot and tears, was a picture of utter misery.
Beside her, Liu Yueyao was so pale with fright that she didn’t even dare to cry, merely trembling uncontrollably.
The ladies from the other six clans were in no better state, each hanging in the air like a string of cured meat waiting for the slaughter.
“Gu… Gu Yuexi…”
Although Lady Liu was suspended, the ingrained arrogance and the bluster born from her fear made her stubbornly refuse to back down.
Her voice trembled as she stared at Gu Yuexi and shrieked:
“How dare you!!”
“Do you have any idea what you’re doing?!”
“If you had only injured the bodyguards, there might have been some room for negotiation. But now you’ve kidnapped us! You’ve kidnapped the matriarchs of seven great clans!”
“This is a declaration of war! A declaration of war against all Ten Great Clans of Great Xia!”
“I don’t believe it! I don’t believe you actually dare to harm us!”
“If you dare touch me, I guarantee you’ll die a death ten thousand times more miserable than that Old Mo! Your family, your friends, even this mosquito—they will all die with you!!”
She was betting that Gu Yuexi wouldn’t dare.
In her eyes, Gu Yuexi was, after all, just a student who hadn’t even graduated yet.
This whole scene had to be nothing more than an impulsive act.
As long as she brandished her clan’s authority, as long as she made Gu Yuexi realize the severity of the consequences, the girl would surely get scared and release them obediently.
However.
She was wrong.
Dead wrong.
Listening to her tirade, a faint, cold smirk appeared on Gu Yuexi’s face.
“You don’t believe me?”
“It seems you still haven’t grasped the situation.”
Gu Yuexi tilted her head slightly, looking at Chu Sheng on her shoulder.
She didn’t even need to speak; a single glance was enough.
As her Contracted Beast, with whom she shared a deep connection, Chu Sheng understood instantly.
BUZZ BUZZ. ’Understood. Time to turn up the heat on this old hag!’
Chu Sheng vibrated his wings.
The next second.
The chain of fire wrapped around Lady Liu’s right arm suddenly seemed to come alive.
The ordinary flames, meant only for restraint, instantly transformed into wisps of ink-black [Indestructible Black Flame]!
“ROAR—”
The fire chain morphed into a miniature black dragon, opened its mouth, and bit down hard on Lady Liu’s arm!
SZZZZT—!
It was the sound of flesh being instantly carbonized.
A nauseating, burnt stench filled the air.
“AAAAAAAAAH—!!!”
Lady Liu’s eyes bulged, and she let out a bloodcurdling scream that barely sounded human.
The searing pain that burned the very Spirit was far beyond what a pampered noblewoman like her could ever withstand.
“My arm! My arm!!”
She struggled desperately, but the more she struggled, the tighter the fire dragon bit down. The black flame, like maggots on a corpse, crept relentlessly toward her shoulder.
In just two or three seconds, her right forearm had been turned to charcoal, and one could even see the red-hot bone within!
The other six ladies around her were scared out of their wits when they saw this.
“Don’t! Don’t burn me!”
“She’s insane! She’s really insane!”
“*Sob sob sob*… I want to go home…”
One of them wet herself in terror, while another’s eyes rolled back as she fainted.
They finally realized that the white-robed young woman before them was no easily intimidated student.
She was a true she-devil who dared to kill and wouldn’t hesitate to act!
“Stop! Stop it!!”
Lady Liu, now a sobbing, blubbering mess, felt her mental defenses completely crumble under the pain.
Clan honor, personal pride—in that moment, it was all burned to ash by the excruciating pain.
“I was wrong! I was wrong, *sob sob*…”
“Please, make it stop! I’m going to die!”
“Miss Gu! Granny Gu! I’m begging you, please spare me!”
Gu Yuexi waved a hand.
The black fire dragon instantly stopped its assault and reverted to an ordinary chain of fire, though it still cinched tightly around the charred arm, a constant reminder of the horror just moments before.
Gu Yuexi looked at Lady Liu, who was hanging like a dead dog, her tone still flat.
“Now, do you believe me?”
Lady Liu nodded frantically, all traces of her earlier arrogance gone.
“I do! I do! I believe you!”
“What do you want?! Just let me go, and I’ll give you anything! The spot is yours! The money is yours! All the resources, they’re all yours!”
She was truly terrified.
This Gu Yuexi was a complete lunatic! She didn’t play by the rules at all!
Gu Yuexi sneered and shook her head.
“I’ve already told you.”
“You are not qualified to negotiate with me.”
She turned, her gaze piercing through the Fire Domain to the anxious Emperor Realm bodyguards from the various clans, all of whom were afraid to act for fear of harming the hostages.
She also looked toward the students livestreaming on their phones nearby, and beyond them, to the countless eyes watching from behind those screens.
Gu Yuexi’s voice rose, cold, domineering, and undeniable.
“Inform your Patriarchs.”
“Tell Liu Canglan and the old geezers from the other six clans.”
“I’m giving them only thirty minutes.”
“Within thirty minutes, they will immediately…”
“Get their asses over here!!!”
