Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

Chapter 128 Where did all your seductive skills go?
Hearing the sound coming from the doorway, Dongfang Liyue, who was on the soft couch, was slightly taken aback.

Why is he here?

After regaining her senses, Dongfang Liyue quickly got up from the soft couch, knelt on the ground and said, "Welcome, my lord!"

As soon as Dongfang Liyue finished speaking, a man wearing a Ghost King mask walked from the terrace into the attic.

He said indifferently, "Holy Maiden, you seem to have become quite lax lately."

Dongfang Liyue asked, "Why does Your Majesty say that?"

The masked man sneered and said, "I asked you to find out who's behind the Prince of Xiaoyao, but you still haven't found a single clue!"

Dongfang Liyue quickly said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. This servant has already gained the trust of the Prince of Xiaoyao, and I believe it won't be long before I can find out who is behind him."

The masked man said coldly, "Gain his trust? Do you need to gain his trust?"

"Where have you put all your seductive skills?"

Dongfang Liyue quickly said, "Please understand, my lord, it's not that I don't want to use my charm on Prince Xiaoyao, but rather that my charm is no longer effective on him."

Upon hearing this, the masked man frowned. Had his charm technique failed?
When Dongfang Liyue failed to find out the whereabouts of the immortal technique at the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion last time, he began to suspect that Dongfang Liyue's seductive skills might not have any effect on Lu Ming.

Although he knew that Dongfang Liyue had always wanted to use Lu Ming as a furnace to cultivate her seductive arts, he believed that with the Gu worms around, Dongfang Liyue would never betray him.

Since Dongfang Liyue wouldn't betray him, and she didn't find any clues about the immortal technique, it proves that the Carefree King is likely hiding something from Dongfang Liyue. In other words, Dongfang Liyue's seductive skills can't completely control Lu Ming.

If Dongfang Liyue's charm technique cannot completely control a person, even if that person is somewhat influenced by the charm technique, that person can still lie and conceal some important things in their heart.

The masked man thought to himself, "Even I can't resist Dongfang Liyue's seductive arts, so how did that little bastard manage to resist them?"

Could it be that he took some kind of special elixir?

After all, that little bastard was able to survive even after stepping into the gates of hell with one foot in the grave, thanks to the so-called elixir. It's not impossible for him to resist Dongfang Liyue's seductive arts with the elixir.

If that's the case, then the only option is for Dongfang Liyue to continue using her beauty to slowly gain that little bastard's trust and make him willingly reveal the secrets of the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion.

Thinking of this, the masked man glanced coldly at Dongfang Liyue, "You've been to the Prince of Xiaoyao's mansion several times. I believe you've slept with that little bastard, haven't you?"

As he spoke, the masked man exuded a terrifying aura, and for a moment, Dongfang Liyue felt it was difficult to breathe.

Dongfang Liyue is hailed as the most beautiful woman in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although calling her the most beautiful is an exaggeration, her beauty is definitely among the top ten in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

As long as a man is physically healthy and has no hidden ailments, he will inevitably have some thoughts about her after seeing her.

Especially as Dongfang Liyue grew older and cultivated her seductive arts, the mature and alluring aura she exuded made any man who approached her unable to resist the urge to possess her.

The masked man was the same; if he hadn't been worried that Dongfang Liyue would be controlled by her seductive arts, he would have already made her his woman.

Although Dongfang Liyue has Gu worms in her body, which he can use to threaten her into submission, once he sleeps with her, his spirit will be weakened. At that time, Dongfang Liyue will be able to seize the opportunity to seduce him and make him hand over the method to get rid of the Gu worms.

With him, Dongfang Liyue could only be looked at, not touched.

Such a beautiful woman, yet he didn't get to enjoy her; instead, that little bastard Lu Ming benefited from her. The masked man felt somewhat resentful. He also harbored a secret regret that he shouldn't have broken Dongfang Liyue's primordial yin body before she grew up.

However, there's no use in regretting it now. The first stage of cultivating seductive arts is to maintain one's chastity. That's when Dongfang Liyue started cultivating seductive arts. If she had lost her chastity, she wouldn't have been able to cultivate her seductive arts to this extent.

Dongfang Liyue's seductive skills have now reached the second stage, and she can only continue to improve them through dual cultivation. Just when she thought she could enjoy them, her seductive skills became a huge threat.

Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from the masked man, Dongfang Liyue naturally knew what he was thinking. She quickly said, "Please punish me, Master. I only chose Prince Xiaoyao as my furnace for cultivating my seductive arts."

The masked man said coldly, "I must remind you, whatever your thoughts may be, do not follow in your master's footsteps."

"If I find out that you have developed feelings for that little bastard, I will make you wish you were dead."

Dongfang Liyue said, "Please rest assured, my master, I only have this for cultivation purposes and have no other intentions."

The masked man said, "Since you've already slept with him, there will be no more obstacles for you to enter the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion. In the next few days, go and find out if that little bastard has obtained any immortal techniques in Lu Xiaoyao's tomb."

Dongfang Liyue replied respectfully, "Yes, my lord."

As soon as Dongfang Liyue finished speaking, the masked man turned around and leaped from the rooftop terrace, leaving Baihua Tower.

After the man left, Dongfang Liyue finally breathed a sigh of relief. She glanced at Wu Qionggui, who was also kneeling on the ground, and thought to herself, "It seems that she has been sidelined now."

Previously, the intelligence collected by Baihualou would first be reviewed by her, and she would then decide which intelligence needed to be reported to which person.

But the person who just spoke knew about what happened at the Prince Xiaoyao's mansion beforehand, which proves that Wu Qionggui bypassed her and reported the information to that person first.

It seems that person no longer trusts her, but given her master's example, it's normal for him not to trust her.

Back then, that person sent her master to get close to Lu Xiaoyao, hoping to obtain immortal techniques from him. However, not only did she fail to obtain the techniques, her master also fell in love with Lu Xiaoyao and was ultimately willing to die for him.

Her master, like her, also cultivated the art of seduction. However, her master suffered a backlash from the art, which is why she fell hopelessly in love with Lu Xiaoyao.

Dongfang Liyue sighed softly. At this moment, it was just like that moment before. She never expected that what her master had experienced in the past would eventually happen to her.

The only difference might be that her master was willing, while she was tricked by Lu Ming.

……

The next morning.

Early in the morning, Dongfang Liyue arrived at the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion.

Upon seeing Dongfang Liyue, the guards at the door immediately informed Lu Ming. Lu Ming had originally planned to practice the Fire Control Technique today, but upon hearing that Dongfang Liyue had arrived, he had no choice but to temporarily switch to practicing the Yin-Yang Scripture.

When Dongfang Liyue entered Lu Ming's bedroom, Lu Ming was sitting cross-legged on the soft couch.

Upon entering the room and seeing Lu Ming for the first time, Dongfang Liyue was slightly taken aback. She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Lu Ming seemed to have become even more handsome, and his demeanor was even more otherworldly.
