Reincarnated as a Mosquito, the School Beauty I Sucked to Tears is a Reborn Empress - Chapter 41: Protected by the City Lord’s Mansion Just for Showing Some Intelligence?
Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Protected by the City Lord’s Mansion Just for Showing Some Intelligence?
Just as the principal and the director were shaking in their boots.
City Lord Lin Zhennan had already shot to his feet in excitement.
“Hurry! Hurry!”
He could no longer remain calm. He issued an order to the Guard Captain and the Director of the Education Bureau beside him:
“Immediately! Right now! Designate Gu Yuexi as a top-priority individual for protection in Jiang City! From this moment on, she must have a dedicated guard with her twenty-four hours a day!”
“What about the Jingzhe Guild…” the Guard Captain asked in a low voice.
“The Jingzhe Guild?” A harsh glint flashed in Lin Zhennan’s eyes, and he snorted disdainfully. “They’re nothing! Tell them to behave! If they dare touch a single hair on Gu’s head, I’ll personally lead the charge to flatten them!”
Are you kidding me!
In the face of a heaven-sent opportunity that could shake the entire Great Xia Federation, a mere local guild wasn’t even worth as much as an ant!
“Old Zhang!”
Lin Zhennan turned to the Director of the Education Bureau, his tone becoming incredibly grave. “This matter is now classified at the highest level! Seal all the data immediately. You will personally write a detailed report!”
“We must report this to the Provincial Education Bureau at once! No! Bypass the province and report directly to the Great Xia Ministry of Education! A discovery of this magnitude is beyond what we in Jiang City can handle!”
“Yes, City Lord!” the Director of the Education Bureau and the Guard Captain responded in unison and immediately sprang into action.
Watching the decisive City Lord, the principal and the director of teaching stood to the side, not even daring to breathe too loudly.
They finally, completely understood.
It turned out that from the very beginning, Gu Yuexi was never some pitiful wretch backed into a corner, struggling blindly.
She must have known all along how extraordinary her mosquito was. That’s why she was so calm, so confident when she requested a school transfer in the office!
Who could have guessed?
Who could have guessed that such a world-shaking secret was hidden behind a tiny mosquito?
Damn! We were the clowns all along!
…
The students below the high platform were unaware of the storm brewing above. They continued to stare intently at Gu Yuexi and the mosquito, their expressions varied.
Standing in the crowd, Zhao Qingtian’s brows were knitted tightly together.
His heart was also in turmoil, but he quickly forced himself to calm down.
’Top-Grade Spiritual Wisdom… it’s truly unbelievable.’
’But so what?’
’In the end, the world of Beast Tamers is all about strength.’
’Its Bloodline is capped at Low-Level, and the limit for a Low-Level Bloodline is no higher than Third-Grade!’
’Even if it’s smart enough to learn every single Beast Taming Skill, can it defeat a Fifth-Grade Demon Beast?’
’Not to mention my Cyan Armored Wolf, which has an evolved High-Level Bloodline! Its future is Seventh-Grade at the minimum!’
’No matter how high its Spiritual Wisdom, without enough power to support it, it’s just a castle in the sky.’
Zhao Qingtian snorted inwardly. His gaze toward Gu Yuexi, however, had become extremely complicated.
’What kind of damn luck did this woman have to end up with such a… freak?’
Meanwhile, Li Yueyao was staring intently at Chu Sheng.
’Top-Grade Five Stars Spiritual Wisdom!’
’That’s something I wouldn’t even dare to dream of!’
In her pursuit of a Contracted Beast with high Spiritual Wisdom, she had been willing to give up a High-Level Bloodline, choosing the more intelligent Illusory Sound Spirit Fox instead.
But now, this mosquito had shown her, in the most absurd way possible, what the true ceiling for Spiritual Wisdom was!
’It’s just… such a shame!’
’For such supreme Spiritual Wisdom to be born in a mosquito… its future is completely sealed off by its Inferior Bloodline!’
’This is simply the cruelest joke heaven could play!’
At that moment, the crowd suddenly parted like the tide, opening up a path.
Lin Zhennan strode forward, followed by the Director of the Education Bureau, whose face was a mask of astonishment.
He ignored everyone else and walked straight up to Gu Yuexi. His eyes, usually as still as an ancient well, were now filled with irrepressible excitement.
“You must be Gu Yuexi, correct? I am the City Lord of Jiang City, Lin Zhennan!”
He put on the kindest smile he could manage and said, getting straight to the point, “From this moment on, you and your Contracted Beast will receive the highest level of security protection in Jiang City! I will assign dedicated personnel to guard you around the clock!”
“As for… the Jingzhe Guild, I know you’ve had some friction with them, but you don’t need to worry at all! With the City Lord’s Mansion protecting you, they wouldn’t dare try anything even if they had ten times the nerve!”
“???”
Gu Yuexi and Chu Sheng, who was perched on her shoulder, were both stunned for a moment.
’The City Lord’s Mansion… protecting us personally?’
This was all a bit too sudden. Neither the human nor the mosquito had expected it.
They had only planned to make a simple demonstration to pave the way for the entrance exam to transfer to Du Nan First Middle School.
But in the end… just by showing off a little intelligence, they had directly resolved their biggest crisis?!
Chu Sheng truly hadn’t seen this coming.
’After all, in my mind, my intelligence is just that of a normal person!’
’Who knew it would be so damn amazing in a Demon Beast?’
As for Gu Yuexi, after a brief moment of shock, she quickly pieced things together.
’That’s right. A Demon Beast with Top-Grade Five Stars Spiritual Wisdom, even if it’s just a mosquito right now, represents a strategic and research value that is simply immeasurable.’
’It’s not surprising that we’re being taken so seriously. It’s a pleasant surprise, really…’
Hearing this somewhat relaxed inner voice from Gu Yuexi,
Chu Sheng, however, had a new worry.
’Immeasurable research value?’
’Holy crap, they’re not going to dissect me for research, are they?!’
The moment he thought this, Gu Yuexi’s inner voice sounded again.
’But… afterward, we’ll definitely have to cooperate with them for some experiments and data collection… There shouldn’t be any danger to his life. Research on Spiritual Wisdom is worthless if the subject is dead.’
’We’ll just lose a little freedom…’
’It doesn’t matter. As long as it guarantees our absolute safety in the early stages, it’s all acceptable…’
’No danger to my life?’
’That’s not so bad, then!’
Only then did Chu Sheng breathe a sigh of relief.
As for the surrounding students, hearing the City Lord’s words left them completely stunned.
The School Beauty who wasn’t all there… had become a key individual under the protection of the City Lord’s Mansion in the blink of an eye?
Isn’t this reversal a bit too dramatic?
What is this? Is she riding the mosquito’s coattails?
Not far away, the expressions on Zhao Qingtian’s and Li Yueyao’s faces were complicated.
They, too, quickly understood.
That’s right, with the mosquito’s astonishing value… forget being given special protection by the City Lord’s Mansion; her application to transfer to Du Nan First Middle School might actually succeed!
At this thought, both of them grew even more jealous.
How is that fair?
They had worked so hard for so many years just to barely become “Top-Notch geniuses” in this tiny Jiang City!
Even so, they weren’t confident enough, nor did they dare to dream, of transferring to a place like Du Nan First Middle School—a true gathering place for geniuses!
And now… this unremarkable Gu Yuexi, who just got lucky and contracted a mosquito with heaven-defying Spiritual Wisdom, was getting special treatment from the City Lord!
She even had a chance to reach the heavens in a single step!
This… is so unfair!
