Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

Upon hearing Lin Yingqiu's question, Lu Ming smiled and said, "Didn't I just say that I don't love the country, but I love beautiful women?"

Seeing Lu Ming's burning gaze, Lin Yingqiu's delicate body trembled slightly. Just then, Lu Ming actually took another step forward.

However, Lin Yingqiu had nowhere to retreat at this point. Her slender waist was pressed against the desk, and she could only lean back to keep her distance from Lu Ming.

However, Lu Ming continued to get closer, taking a step forward with one leg and wedging it directly between Lin Yingqiu's legs.

Even when their bodies were pressed together, Lu Ming didn't stop there. He bent down slightly and continued to move closer to Lin Yingqiu's upper body.

For a moment, Lin Yingqiu's heart was filled with panic. She had grown up in the Moonflower Palace since she was a child. Because of her special identity, she had never been in such close contact with a man since she was a child, and she was still a virgin.

At this moment, her gaze drifted towards the study door, intentionally or unintentionally. Although her eyes darted away very quickly, Lu Ming still caught the shift in Lin Yingqiu's gaze and immediately understood what she was thinking.

Lin Yingqiu quickly said, "If Your Majesty ascends to that position, all the beauties in the world will be yours."

She tried to continue to distract Lu Ming, but as soon as Lin Yingqiu finished speaking, Lu Ming said, "Even if I don't ascend to that position, as long as I have enough power, all the beauties in the world can be mine."

As Lu Ming approached, a delicate fragrance emanating from Lin Yingqiu wafted into his nostrils. Lu Ming had been working too hard with Dongfang Liyue to accelerate his activation progress these past few days, leaving him in a state of detachment and apathy.

However, when he smelled the fragrance emanating from Lin Yingqiu and saw her stunningly beautiful and mature face and her voluptuous figure, Lu Ming's heart burned with desire once again.

Just then, Lin Yingqiu suddenly felt something strange in her body, and her heart skipped a beat.

Although she was still a virgin, she had some understanding of men, and this carefree prince clearly had designs on her.

Lin Yingqiu quickly said, "Your Majesty is a cultivator. If Your Majesty were to ascend to that position, it would be even more beneficial to Your Majesty's cultivation."

Lu Ming said with a smile, "Your Moonflower Palace should have been exposed to cultivation techniques and know something about cultivators."

Lin Yingqiu was a little confused. Why did Lu Ming suddenly bring this up?

The next moment, Lu Ming's deep eyes stared at Lin Yingqiu's flustered and evasive eyes as he asked, "Tell me, with my Foundation Establishment cultivation, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for me to get that throne? If I wanted the throne, that position would naturally be mine. Why would I need your Moonflower Palace?"

Lu Ming is not yet at the Foundation Establishment stage. He said this to scare Lin Yingqiu and to judge whether there are Foundation Establishment cultivators in Yuehua Palace based on Lin Yingqiu's emotional reaction.

When Lin Yingqiu heard Lu Ming say that he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, her mind went completely blank.

Foundation Establishment cultivator?

How old is Lu Ming this year?

Eighteen years old!!!
An eighteen-year-old Foundation Establishment cultivator?

is it possible?

However, judging from the aura emanating from Lu Ming, the aura he released was indeed far superior to that of Grandmaster Chen Qingying, and even the aura of their Moonflower Palace's ancestor was inferior to his.

In other words, Lu Ming was very likely not lying.

Oh no... I never expected that another character similar to Lu Xiaoyao would appear in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Back then, because of Lu Xiaoyao's existence, even though the major sects knew they could cultivate through the Great Zhou's fortune, they didn't dare to actually do it.

Twenty years ago, the former palace master of Yuehua Palace, blindly confident, believed that her strength far surpassed that of Lu Xiaoyao, so she came to Da Zhou in an attempt to steal Da Zhou's fortune for cultivation.

As a result, she not only failed to steal the fortune of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but was also captured by Lu Xiaoyao and eventually forced to marry him, bearing him three children.

Unexpectedly, the child born to Lu Xiaoyao and their former palace master has such terrifying talent; he has already reached the Foundation Establishment stage at only eighteen years old.

Wouldn't that mean Chen Qingying is going to follow in the footsteps of the former palace master?
No! She absolutely cannot allow their current palace master to be defiled by this lecherous man!

When the former palace master was abducted by Lu Xiaoyao, she was just a maid and could only watch helplessly. Now that she is an elder of Yuehua Palace, she cannot let the tragedy repeat itself.

Moreover, Chen Qingying was someone she picked up and raised. In her heart, Chen Qingying was like her daughter, and she would never allow her daughter to be abused by Lu Ming.

Just as Lin Yingqiu was contemplating taking Lu Ming down with her, suddenly, the aura emanating from Lu Ming intensified. Lin Yingqiu gritted her teeth and struggled to circulate her inner energy to resist this oppressive force.

Lin Yingqiu, who had been contemplating whether to perish together with Lu Ming, suddenly realized the reality: she was merely a Grandmaster, and even with the courage to die together, she would likely be unable to harm a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

In their view, becoming a Foundation Establishment cultivator is no different from becoming an immortal.

Their so-called "taking that step" is merely breaking through to the Celestial Realm, which is only the first level of Qi Refining. They can hardly even take that step, so how could they possibly fight against a Foundation Establishment Immortal?

A sense of desolation welled up in Lin Yingqiu's heart. Was history destined to repeat itself?
Although their ancestor was also a Foundation Establishment Immortal, he had long since gone into seclusion. In addition, their ancestor was seriously injured and no longer possessed the strength of an immortal. Back then, their ancestor was unable to stop Lu Xiaoyao from taking over the former palace master, and this time he was equally unable to stop him.

Sensing Lin Yingqiu's inner sorrow, Lu Ming smiled and said, "Actually, you don't need to be so desperate. I am not a great villain."

Lin Yingqiu tried her best to keep her emotions in check and said coldly, "Now that I'm in your hands, Your Majesty, you may kill me or do whatever you want with me."

Seeing Lin Yingqiu's fearless attitude, Lu Ming said with a smile, "You may not be afraid of death, but don't you think about your daughter?"

Lin Yingqiu remained expressionless and said, "Your Majesty is joking. I am still unmarried, so where would I get a daughter?"

As soon as Lin Yingqiu finished speaking, Lu Ming suddenly bent down and whispered in her ear, "As far as I know, you took Palace Master Chen back to Yuehua Palace and watched her grow up. Doesn't she count as your daughter?"

Hearing this, Lin Yingqiu was taken aback. She hadn't expected that Lu Ming would even know this.

Lu Ming continued, "I can overlook the matter of your Moonflower Palace damaging my immortal body, and I can also let Palace Master Chen go in the same way..."

At this point, Lu Ming stopped talking. He pinched the beautiful woman's delicate chin again and gazed at her mature and stunningly beautiful face.

Lin Yingqiu could hardly believe what she was hearing. Would the Prince of Xiaoyao really be so kind?

Lin Yingqiu then asked, "What does the Carefree King want?"

The Carefree King certainly wouldn't be that kind, but since he said that, it proves he must have other conditions. (End of Chapter)
