Reincarnated as a Mosquito, I Sucked the Reborn Empress to Tears Chapter 147 - 146: The Jing Lords’ Shock: That Evil Giant Mu
It was obvious that Li Wenbo and his cohort of young masters and ladies from the Capital City didn’t want to spend a single extra minute with an "outsider."
They just wanted to get rid of Gu Yuexi, this unwanted tagalong who had been foisted upon them, as quickly as possible.
So that very afternoon, they used their family connections to summon a private jet, preparing to depart for Hong Kong Island imdiately.
The interior of the private jet was the epito of luxury, complete with leather sofas, a top-shelf bar, and an audio-visual entertainnt system.
Gu Yuexi, naturally, was assigned to the narrowest, most out-of-the-way corner seat in the tail of the cabin, a spot that didn’t even have a window.
The plane took off smoothly, and soon, it had left the airspace of Celestial Fire Province.
Now that they had left the sphere of influence of the "local powers," the attitudes of the Capital City youths toward Gu Yuexi took a nosedive.
Back at the hotel, they had at least put on a semblance of courtesy, only muttering a few words under their breath.
Now, they couldn’t even be bothered to keep up the act. They spoke without reservation, as if Gu Yuexi were nothing but a puff of air.
The young man, Huang Mao, crossed his legs, a look of utter annoyance on his face. "I can’t believe this. Why is there so much damn trouble in these inland backwaters? So piss-ant family has the nerve to pull strings with us? They really don’t know their own place!"
A girl with heavy makeup curled her lip and chid in, "Exactly! A ’major provincial family’? Sounds impressive, but if you put them in our Capital City, they probably wouldn’t even qualify as a third-rate clan, right?"
Gu Yuexi kept her eyes closed, resting, and turned a deaf ear to their comnts.
However, Chu Sheng, hidden in her hair, was rendered speechless by what he was hearing.
’Jeez,’ he thought, ’this world really is just one giant pecking order.’
’People from Du Nan City look down on those from small places like Jiang City, thinking they’re just country bumpkins.’
’And yet a tropolis like Du Nan, one of the top ten in the nation, is just a ’stinking backwater’ in the eyes of these Capital City lords.’
’How interesting...’
The group chatted on, but they seed to grow bored of the topic and started talking about so recent amusing events in the Capital City.
Naturally, the conversation drifted to the juiciest piece of gossip currently making the rounds among the younger generation in the Capital City—the story of Jing University’s genius, Mu Chen, getting utterly wrecked in Spirit Martial Eternity by an "Evil Giant Mushroom"!
The mont this was ntioned, Huang Mao burst out laughing and slapped his thigh. "Hahaha! I was actually there! I thought that Mu Chen was about to break a record, and then he gets killed by a goddamn mushroom! I’m dying!"
The topic instantly piqued everyone’s interest, and the atmosphere in the cabin ca alive.
"Seriously, Mu Chen completely disgraced himself this ti! Getting worn down and killed by a Third-Grade Late Stage Contracted Beast... that stain on his record is probably going to follow him for the rest of his life!"
"Hahaha! You’re telling ! I heard he doesn’t even dare to go out anymore. The mont he steps outside, people are pointing and whispering!"
"To be honest, I’d never even heard of this Mu Chen before. Jing University has too many geniuses, and he was only kind of famous among the sophomores... But now he’s truly famous. Is there anyone who plays Spirit Martial Eternity that doesn’t know his na? I guess you could call it... a blessing in disguise?"
"Haha, nice one. Infamy is still a kind of fa, right?"
"Hahahaha! But to be fair, the guy just had bad luck! He was on the verge of breaking a record and then ran into an overpowered monster the devs cooked up! Who could have done anything in that situation?"
At this, most of them nodded in agreent.
Although they loved to talk trash, they all knew in their hearts that as a group of ignorant, spoiled brats, they were worlds apart from a true prodigy like Mu Chen. There was simply no comparison.
"He was indeed quite unlucky," Li Wenbo agreed with a nod. But then his tone shifted, and a mysterious smile played on his lips. "However, you’re wrong about one thing."
"That ’Evil Giant Mushroom’ and its Master, [The Only Beast Taming Empress in Ancient and Modern Tis], weren’t so boss created by the ga developers. They... are both real."
The crowd was stunned for a mont, then burst out laughing, thinking he was joking.
"Hahaha! Brother Bo, you’re getting more and more humorous. That mushroom, a Third-Grade Late Stage, slaughtering a Fourth-Grade Early Stage genius from Jing University! How could that possibly be real?"
Huang Mao roared with laughter. "If that’s true, I’ll eat my phone right here and now, okay?!"
"I’m not joking." Li Wenbo’s expression was serious. "Don’t forget what kind of background our Li Family has."
"Our family was involved in the developnt of Spirit Martial Eternity. After the incident, the family’s higher-ups imdiately investigated through internal channels. All of the ’Evil Giant Mushroom’s’ combat data... it was all real!"
"Huh?"
Huang Mao’s expression froze. He searched Li Wenbo’s face for any hint of a joke but found none.
The others exchanged glances, their smiles vanishing, replaced by shock and uncertainty.
Of course, they knew that Li Wenbo’s family was a behemoth, firmly ranked in the top three of the Capital City’s Ten Great Clans! They even had a military background!
Although he was just a good-for-nothing playboy and wouldn’t have access to the family’s top secrets, it seed plausible that he could find out about sothing like this.
’Could it be...’
That a Demon Beast that defies all logic actually exists in this world?!
A Third-Grade Late Stage that could slaughter a top Fourth-Grade Early Stage genius from Jing University like it was child’s play?!
"For real? Then... then what level of a person must its Master be to control a monster like that? Aren’t they afraid of a backlash?" soone asked, still in disbelief.
"You’d need to be a Beast Tar whose Spiritual Realm has reached at least Fifth-Grade to control it completely, right?" Huang Mao said, his brow furrowed. "But didn’t I hear that the mushroom’s Master’s info... showed only Second-Grade Middle Stage?"
Everyone else looked just as confused.
Back when the Evil Giant Mushroom had massacred the Fourth-Grade Early Stage bracket, countless people had clicked on its profile to check.
They had all seen the profile of its Master, [Ancient and Modern First Beast Taming Empress], which showed a re Second-Grade Middle Stage Spiritual Realm.
Could such a low Spiritual Realm really control such a heaven-defying Contracted Beast?
Most people thought it was impossible, which was one of the strongest pieces of evidence supporting the theory that the ’Evil Giant Mushroom’ was just fake data!
"That’s the most interesting part." Li Wenbo’s expression grew even more intrigued. "Its Master hid their battle record."
"Most people only know about the mushroom’s heaven-defying record, but very few know that its Master, also at Second-Grade Middle Stage, was crushing many Third-Grade Middle Stage geniuses in the ga, fighting far above their weight class!"
"This Master is a monster in their own right, a dual cultivator of Qi Blood and ntal Power... Even without that heaven-defying Contracted Beast, they’re probably a top-notch prodigy with a chance of reaching King-level in the future!"
