Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

Chapter 117 Can you now prove that I am not an evil spirit?

Seeing that Mu Yunyan was unwilling to attack him, Lu Ming immediately understood her concerns.

No matter what, she was a descendant of an immortal, and even the royal family wouldn't dare to openly attack her. If she were to attack her, she would probably lose her position.

Before there is conclusive evidence proving that he is the evil spirit, Mu Yunyan and the Zhenling Guards will not take action against him. Even if he really is the evil spirit, with the identity of the Carefree King protecting him, they still need to find evidence first.

Mu Yunyan came today probably to try and trick me. If he really is an evil spirit, he will definitely lose his composure after being exposed, and may even reveal his true form. In that case, Mu Yunyan and the Zhenling Guard will not need any evidence.

Unfortunately, he was not some kind of evil spirit.

Lu Ming was speechless. He wanted to activate the 1% encyclopedia chest as soon as possible. If he couldn't touch Mu Yunyan's body and could only talk and interact with her, he probably wouldn't get the 1% reward for a while.

Xiao Qingyun has been back for a while now, and he hasn't even gotten the 1% activation chest for Xiao Qingyun's illustration. The main reason for this is that he hasn't been able to touch her body.

Lu Ming continued, "This is the work of your Zhenling Guard, so it is only right that I cooperate."

"Besides, I don't want to be misunderstood as an evil spirit."

Seeing Lu Ming pressing her so aggressively, Mu Yunyan became even more suspicious that Lu Ming was possessed by an evil spirit.

At this moment, Lu Ming asked, "Since Commander Mu refuses to attack me, does your Zhenling Guard have any other methods to detect evil spirits?"

Mu Yunyan suddenly thought of something, and her brows slowly relaxed.

If an evil spirit wants to possess the carefree king who is protected by dragon energy, then the carefree king must be a dead person. The person only needs to touch the carefree king's body to determine whether the carefree king is still alive by his pulse.

Thinking of this, Mu Yunyan immediately said, "Yes, Your Majesty can extend your hand."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming did not hesitate at all, immediately rolled up his sleeves, and raised his hand.

Seeing that Lu Ming extended his hand in front of her without any hesitation, Mu Yunyan was slightly taken aback. Could it be that she was wrong?

If the Carefree King is truly an evil spirit, then after hearing that I have other methods to detect evil spirits, the evil spirit should not dare to directly extend its hand.

Or is this evil spirit still gambling? Gambling that it's being tricked, gambling that it has no other means of detecting evil spirits?

However, this time she wasn't trying to trick him. Mu Yunyan then said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Yunyan raised her slender hand and placed her fingers on Lu Ming's wrist.

The next moment, she felt a pulse.

This……

Mu Yunyan's mind went blank for a moment. A living person?

Seeing that Mu Yunyan seemed to be lost in thought, Lu Ming said with a smile, "Chief Mu, can you now prove that I am not an evil spirit?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ming had a thought and checked the activation progress of Mu Yunyan's illustration. The activation progress had reached 1%, and a jumping treasure chest appeared below.

Without any hesitation, Lu Ming clicked on the treasure chest.

[Concealment Technique]

The moment the reward popped up, Lu Ming clicked it again.

[Concealment Technique: After mastering this technique, you can actively conceal your aura. Without special methods, even someone three major realms higher than you cannot detect your cultivation level.]

Upon seeing the reward, Lu Ming thought to himself that this technique was somewhat useful. In the current situation, he could be high-profile, but not too high-profile; he had to maintain a balance.

Although his father was known as the only immortal in the Great Zhou Dynasty, he had already encountered two people at the Qi Sensing Realm since he began cultivating immortality. This indirectly proves that there are definitely more cultivators in the Great Zhou Dynasty than just his father. Perhaps there are also "wild" cultivators in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

If one's strength exceeds a certain threshold, it may attract the attention of cultivators with higher cultivation levels.

Moreover, concealing one's strength slightly can serve as a surprise trump card when encountering enemies of similar strength. With this in mind, Lu Ming accepted the inheritance of the "Concealment Technique".

At this moment, Mu Yunyan's words brought Lu Ming back to his senses. "Your Majesty, I misspoke."

Mu Yunyan had already withdrawn her slender hand.

It has now been confirmed that the Carefree King is a living person, protected by dragon energy, making it unlikely that evil spirits have possessed him.

Even though Lu Ming left the capital, and his dragon aura could no longer protect him from swords, the dragon aura on his body still had a strong restraining effect on evil spirits.

Lu Ming continued, "Relying solely on the pulse is probably not enough to prove that I am not an evil spirit."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ming released his dragon aura, and a terrifying pressure pressed down on Mu Yunyan, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Mu Yunyan's pupils contracted slightly. Although she knew that Lu Ming possessed dragon energy, rumors suggested that Lu Ming was merely a spoiled brat who couldn't actively control dragon energy.

Now that Lu Ming has released his dragon aura, it proves that he is no ordinary person.

Lu Ming then withdrew his dragon aura and said, "Chief Commander Mu, now you shouldn't doubt me anymore, right?"

Mu Yunyan immediately said, "It was my duty, Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Lu Ming said, "It's alright. It's normal for your Zhenling Guard to have doubts, after all, I was indeed close to death at the beginning."

"However, you must know that I am the offspring of an immortal, blessed with great fortune. I am not so easily killed."

Upon hearing Lu Ming's words, Mu Yunyan seemed to have realized something.

Could it be that the old carefree king left him some kind of elixir?
As for the questions that follow, she can only remain curious for now. After all, this is a secret of the Prince of Xiaoyao's mansion, and all she needs to do is confirm that the Prince of Xiaoyao is not an evil spirit.

Mu Yunyan said, "Your Majesty is absolutely right. Your Majesty is the offspring of an immortal and is naturally protected by the immortals in heaven. It is I who am too suspicious."

"If Your Majesty has nothing else to attend to, I will take my leave now."

Lu Ming said, "Okay, General Mu, go ahead and get busy."

Mu Yunyan then bowed to Lu Ming again, saying, "This humble official takes her leave!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Yunyan turned and left the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion.

After Mu Yunyan left, Lu Ming immediately used the Concealment Technique to hide his cultivation level, and he now looked no different from an ordinary person.

After returning to Zhenling Guard, Mu Yunyan immediately went to Mu Yongfeng's office.

Mu Yongfeng was reviewing files on the extermination of villages by evil spirits near the capital when he heard his subordinate's voice at the door, "Sir, Commander Mu requests an audience!"

Mu Yongfeng said absentmindedly, "Come in."

Mu Yunyan then entered the office and said, "Greetings, Envoy Mu Zhenling!"

Mu Yongfeng's gaze lingered on the case file, and he asked curiously, "What do you want with me?"

Mu Yunyan said, "My lord, I have already tested the Prince of Xiaoyao, and there is no sign of him being possessed by evil spirits."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yongfeng shifted his gaze from the case file to his daughter's face.

"No evil spirit possession?"

Mu Yunyan said, "His pulse is fine, and he can also actively mobilize the dragon energy in his body."

Dragon energy can be considered the nemesis of evil spirits. Evil spirits cannot mobilize dragon energy. From this point of view alone, the carefree king cannot be an evil spirit.
