Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

At this time, Lu Ming was completely unaware that Chen Qingying had already set her sights on him. In the following days, he transformed into a machine that was grinding for activation progress, and he almost always stayed in his room arguing with Dongfang Liyue.

However, once the activation progress exceeded 50, the rate at which the progress of the encyclopedia activation slowed down significantly. He spent several days with Dongfang Liyue and teased her so much that she forgot her own name, but the activation progress only barely reached 60%.

Lu Ming wasn't particularly surprised by this; he had long anticipated that the activation progress would slow down as the game progressed.

It was another morning when Lu Ming woke up, hugging Dongfang Liyue, his soft body pillow. After waking up, Lu Ming looked down at Dongfang Liyue.

Just like a few days ago, Dongfang Liyue was nestled in his arms, hugging his strong waist, maintaining an intimate relationship with him.

Lu Ming glanced at the activation progress and, seeing that it had reached 60%, he claimed the activation progress chest without hesitation.

Lu Ming then opened the treasure chest and found a cultivation technique called "Qingxin Jue".

[The Heart-Cleansing Mantra: After practicing it, one can resist certain spells.]

Lu Ming thought to himself, with the Nine Revolutions Heart and Soul Technique enhancing his soul power, even without the Heart Purification Technique, he should be able to resist curses, right?
However, having more skills is never a bad thing; having another technique that can defend against mental attacks would be helpful.

After all, there are countless strange and wonderful things in the cultivation world. It's just that I haven't come into contact with the real cultivation world yet, so I can't feel its cruelty. Perhaps when I really start to come into contact with those cultivators, the effects of these cultivation techniques will become apparent.

He now possesses the "Purple Sun Body Refining Technique," a body-refining skill, making his physical strength unquestionable. Although he hasn't tested it, he believes that even if he stood still and let a grandmaster attack him, the grandmaster might not be able to harm him.

What he's worried about now is mental attacks. Although he can resist Dongfang Liyue's seductive arts with his soul strength, Dongfang Liyue is just an ordinary martial artist, not a cultivator.

If a cultivator were to use similar methods on him, he might not be able to withstand them.

Lu Ming compared the Nine Revolutions Heart and Soul Technique with the Heart-Cleansing Technique. The Nine Revolutions Heart and Soul Technique tends to enhance one's own soul strength and is a passive means of resisting mental attacks.

The Purifying Heart Technique is an active technique. When one senses a mental attack, if one's soul strength is insufficient to withstand the mental attack, or if the spells used by the opponent are too powerful, one can use the Purifying Heart Technique.

After figuring out the differences between the two techniques, Lu Ming smiled. With these two techniques, as long as the enemy's strength wasn't too great, they shouldn't be able to control his mind.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming glanced at Dongfang Liyue, who was still being tolerant of him.

Seeing that Dongfang Liyue had not yet woken up, Lu Ming began to cultivate the Heart-Clearing Technique.

After an unknown amount of time, Dongfang Liyue slowly woke up. The moment she woke up, she felt the strangeness in her body, and her heart trembled.

Thinking about what she had experienced in the past few days, Dongfang Liyue couldn't help but tremble. She was in a daze and had difficulty concentrating.

Dongfang Liyue struggled to sit up and looked at Lu Ming, who had his eyes closed, saying, "Your Majesty... I've stayed at the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion for so many days now, it's time... it's time to go back."

Although Lu Ming used his magic to heal her every day, keeping her body free of injury, the extreme pleasure he experienced had already affected her mental state.

She felt that if she continued with Lu Ming like this, even if her body was fine, her mind would probably be damaged.

Lu Ming also knew that Dongfang Liyue, unlike him, did not have the ability to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Heart and Soul Technique to enhance her soul strength and resist the negative effects of extreme pleasure.

So he didn't continue to make things difficult for Dongfang Liyue. To be honest, he was getting a little tired of it after so many days. If it weren't for the need to speed up the activation progress of the character encyclopedia, he probably would have sent Dongfang Liyue back a couple of days ago. Lu Ming finished circulating the Mind-Clearing Technique, and at this moment he felt his mind was completely clear, a very comfortable feeling.

Seeing Lu Ming open his eyes and stare straight at her, Dongfang Liyue felt slightly nervous. She was now genuinely afraid of this young man.

There's usually a limit to these kinds of things. Even if you wanted to continue, your body wouldn't allow it; it's a kind of protective instinct of the body.

However, the problem lies in the fact that Lu Ming can use magic to eliminate the fatigue and discomfort in both of their bodies. In addition, Lu Ming can use spiritual energy to replace certain things, so theoretically he can continue continuously.

Dongfang Liyue felt utterly helpless. She, a dignified enchantress who cultivated seductive arts, had actually fallen into the hands of a little man and become the forging furnace for his weapon.

Lu Ming didn't tease Dongfang Liyue. He said calmly, "After we get back, pay close attention to that person's movements."

Lu Mingqing is now indifferent to worldly desires, and even though he maintains a close relationship with Dongfang Liyue, he no longer has any romantic feelings for her.

Lu Ming thought to himself, "It seems that I'll need to rest for a day after each activation progress. If this continues, some things will lose their fun."

Extremes beget their opposites, and he didn't want to lose that fun just because he was grinding through the encyclopedia to activate progress.

Seeing Lu Ming's detached and indifferent demeanor, Dongfang Liyue finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will keep a close eye on that person."

As soon as she finished speaking, Dongfang Liyue slowly and unsteadily got up.

Just as Dongfang Liyue was about to say something, Xiao Huan's voice came from the doorway, "Your Majesty, are you awake? Something has happened."

Hearing this, Lu Ming was stunned for a moment.

problem occurs?
What happened?

Although he had been fighting with Dongfang Liyue for the past few days, he kept a close eye on the situation at the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion with his divine sense. The people from Yuehua Palace were a bit restless, often wandering around at night, but they did not cause any trouble for the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion.

Upon hearing the maid's voice, Dongfang Liyue wisely got up and prepared to get dressed and leave. Lu Ming directly said to the maids, "Come in and help Master Dongfang get dressed."

Upon hearing this, the maids from the side room entered the bedroom, and Xiao Huan, who was at the door, also entered the room.

Lu Ming looked at Xiao Huan and asked, "Xiao Huan, what happened?"

Xiao Huan replied, "The entire capital is talking about the news of the spiritual plant appearing in the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion. Her Majesty the Empress sent word that many martial arts forces are heading towards the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion, all for that spiritual plant, and that Your Majesty should prepare accordingly."

This……

Upon hearing Xiao Huan's words, Lu Ming frowned slightly.

How did the news that the Prince of Xiaoyao's mansion possessed spiritual plants spread?
Logically speaking, Chen Qingying and the others came for the Blood Lotus, so they would never spread this news. If the news were spread, wouldn't it attract more forces to compete for the Blood Lotus?

However, besides himself and Xiao Qingyun, it seemed that only the people of Yuehua Palace knew of the existence of the Blood Lotus. (End of Chapter)
