Chapter 16: Return to Shanghai!

It was a night with a clear sky, the large round moon shining brightly and hanging high in the sky.

The hazy moonlight illuminated the earth, a scene reminiscent of ancient times when many people would rely on the moon's light to work or conduct business.

But this was not ancient times.

This was a modern era of colorful lights, revelry, and extravagance!

The neon lights of the city, tall floodlights, countless street lamp advertisements—all these vibrant colors completely overshadowed the moonlight, rendering the once bright moon dim.

A high-speed train, amidst the vibrant city lights in the western part of the city, swiftly pierced through the night and slid into the platform tracks!

This was the terminus of the high-speed train, and the destination for many passengers.

This destination had become an international metropolis, attracting countless people with dreams and aspirations, whether to work, strive, or simply visit.

Regardless, this city always encapsulated countless dreams and hopes.

Passengers began to disembark, bustling and bustling.

"Finally, back to Shanghai!" In the crowd, a giant version of the Chinese mosquito flew straight out of the train!

Jia Yan looked around.

This city, this place, held too many memories and past experiences for him!

He spent two years of college here.

"Shanghai, I'm finally back..." Jia Yan's mind was filled with longing and emotion.

A month ago, he died in this city.

A month later, he was reborn as a mosquito, enduring countless hardships to return here once again, for revenge!

Jia Yan's body slowly rose in the night sky.

The scenery before him quickly diminished.

He flew up to a height of thirty meters!

From here, the view of the station below became very small. Pedestrians looked like ants, bustling about.

Mosquitoes were always more active at night.

Jia Yan glanced at the view of the exit and began to descend once again.

He flew high, not only to survey this city filled with infinite emotions but also to observe the overall appearance of the station. Although he had lived and studied in this huge international city for two years, he had never been to this station before.

Although Jia Yan's current mosquito body had grown and strengthened due to the purple potion, he was not arrogant because of it.

Jia Yan knew very well that he had indeed changed now, akin to a superhero among mosquitoes. Perhaps small predators like dragonflies would find it difficult to threaten him.

However, there were still countless animals like birds and bats that could put him in mortal danger!

So he didn't dare to fly too high arrogantly, but remained vigilant and close to the ground.

There were many humans at the station, and no predators dared to catch him here.

"Master, are you going to Linqiang Road?"

Two female passengers with luggage, dragging heavy suitcases, exited the station and inquired with the waiting taxi outside the station.

In the middle of the night, there was no better option than taking a taxi!

"Yes, get in." The driver responded with a smile upon seeing the two girls.

The two girls struggled to get their luggage into the car.

Then they got into the car!

The three of them, including the driver, did not notice in the dark night, a tiny mosquito quietly gliding through the air, entering the taxi with the two girls!

"Back to the city first!" Jia Yan hid under the taxi seat, quietly sticking to the ground.

His grim mouthparts gleamed faintly in the dark night.

The taxi started!

"Ye Ye, how was your visit to my hometown these past few days?" One of the girls asked the other.

Both of these girls were quite pretty, exuding the youthful vigor typical of young women.

"It was great! Your family took me to visit some attractions, especially the time we took the sightseeing bus, it was so exciting and fun!" The other girl blinked her eyes earnestly and replied.

"Ye Ye! You know I'm not asking about that! I'm asking about your opinion of my brother. Can't you tell that I'm not just inviting you to play?" 

Listening to the two chatting, Jia Yan, hidden under the seat, moved slightly. His huge compound eyes glanced at the two girls in front of him.

These two were probably about the same age as Jia Yan.

Although both of them were quite pretty.

But the one named Ye Ye, with her smooth long hair and delicate features, was much prettier than the other. 

Although she couldn't reach the level of a movie star, it was probably because of her light makeup. If she really worked on her appearance, she could easily become a movie star!

Although Jia Yan had been reborn as a mosquito, he still found human beauties attractive, unable to help but take a few more glances at the two youthful and beautiful girls.

"Um..." Taking a few more glances, Jia Yan accidentally saw something under Ye Ye's short skirt.

He quickly turned his head away—no peeping!

It's a pity that he didn't have such luck as a human before...

Jia Yan sighed in frustration.

"Ting Ting, ah, I've told you before I went that I really didn't intend to consider that aspect when I went there. Your brother is really nice, but I don't have any considerations in that regard for now..." The girl named Ye Ye replied helplessly.

"Fine, Ye Tongyu! If you don't have any considerations, but you still come to my house to freeload, then that's fine. Give me back the money you've spent these days!" The other girl suddenly raised her voice.

"How can you be like this! Didn't you say you were hosting me? Besides, I've told you before that if you invited me with the intention of introducing me to your brother, I wouldn't have come! You dragged me along yourself!"

The body hidden under the front seat, Jia Yan, was suddenly stunned. What kind of drama was this?

The two girls began to argue in the car. But overall, the one named Ye Tongyu seemed to be at a disadvantage, while the other, Ting Ting, was very arrogant!

"Ye Tongyu, let me make it clear. You've spent over ten thousand these days, even if I give you ten thousand! You either get along with my brother or just take ten thousand! You've been in my house for so many days, you should know that my brother is just a mess over there. If you dare to say no, he'll bring a bunch of his buddies here, and you won't be able to escape back to your hometown!" The girl named Ting Ting spoke coldly.

"I don't even have ten thousand, I have less than two thousand by myself, and I paid for the taxi fare!" Ye Tongyu's voice sounded a bit teary.

"No more nonsense. You have three days to bring me the money. Otherwise, wait for me to go back and call my brother!" Ting Ting snorted.

There was silence in the car.

Not long after, Ye Tongyu, the girl, began to sob quietly.

The other girl just rolled her eyes and sneered.

"Hey, this girl named Ye Tongyu really made a bad choice. But the biggest villain is still this Ting Ting..." Jia Yan, hidden under the front seat, also sneered in his heart...

"Such a bad woman, sucking her blood would be doing the world

 a favor, right?"

"It just so happens to test whether my mouthparts can actually suck blood now!"

Jia Yan's heart was cold, he believed that his mouthparts now had the power to pierce human skin.

The only thing he dared not be sure of was whether the person sucked by him would have any other adverse reactions.

He still had some psychological burden about sucking blood.

After all, he used to be a human, and he was very clear about humans' attitudes towards mosquitoes. And now, after the mutation caused by the purple potion, his body had also mutated. Although this mutation seemed to be beneficial to him, it might not be the case for the person being sucked. If the person being sucked had a toxic reaction or some other condition, Jia Yan would hesitate to feed!

Because of these concerns, Jia Yan, who had just felt hungry on the car, did not suck blood from any passengers casually.

Now that the girl named Ting Ting had such a face, he had no qualms about sucking her blood!

Even if the other party had some side effects, it was her own fault!

Thinking of this, Jia Yan quietly flapped his wings...

His wings were too large now, and the sound of flapping was much louder than that of an ordinary mosquito.

However, the driver in front couldn't stand the quarrel between the two girls, so he turned up the volume of the radio, completely masking the sound of his flight...

As the taxi passed through a darker corner...

Jia Yan's mosquito body flew quickly towards Ting Ting!
