Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

Lin Yingqiu couldn't understand how she had suddenly been cursed by Lu Ming. Of course, what worried her the most was what kind of curse Lu Ming had cast on her.

At this moment, Lu Ming and Lin Yingqiu's lips slowly parted, but Lin Yingqiu lay on the golden nanmu desk, looking at Lu Ming weakly and questioning, "You... hmph... you cast a curse on me!"

Lu Ming said with a smile, "As expected of an elder of the Moonflower Palace, I didn't expect you to notice the curse I just cast on you."

Lin Yingqiu glared coldly at Lu Ming. This bastard actually dared to admit it!

Just as Lin Yingqiu was about to say something, she suddenly found that her body had become more sensitive. She could clearly feel that the curse inside her was taking effect.

Lin Yingqiu gritted her teeth, "This is... umm... what kind of curse is this!"

Lu Ming said, "A spell that will make you unable to leave this king forever."

Lin Yingqiu was startled; the first thing that came to her mind was the Heart-Locking Curse.

The Heart-Locking Curse of their Moonflower Palace originated from Lu Xiaoyao, and it is entirely possible that Lu Xiaoyao passed this curse on to Lu Ming in the past.

However, Lin Yingqiu quickly realized that this could not be the Heart-Locking Curse. The Heart-Locking Curse has a necessary condition: the person being cursed must fall in love with the caster.

She doesn't love Lu Ming, so how could Lu Ming's spell possibly succeed?

Lin Yingqiu said in disbelief, "No... impossible... ugh!"

As Lin Yingqiu spoke, her body and mind trembled. She couldn't believe it was true, but the spell had already begun to take effect. It did indeed seem to be related to a spell involving love between men and women.

But she had never heard of the Heart-Locking Curse having any effect on such matters.

Lin Yingqiu then questioned, "What...what exactly...did you...do to me?!"

Seeing the beautiful woman's humiliated yet helpless expression, Lu Ming's lips curled up slightly. To be honest, he hadn't expected the Illusionary Butterfly Love Spell to be helpful in this kind of situation. He thought the Illusionary Butterfly Love Spell's greatest function was simply to prevent women who had been his wives from harming him.

But now that I think about it, this should be the first effect of the Illusionary Butterfly Love Spell, which can increase a woman's affection for him.

As time goes by, feelings will naturally develop. As long as they spend enough time together, under the influence of the Illusionary Butterfly Love Spell, Lin Yingqiu's affection for him will naturally increase.

Lu Ming leaned down and whispered in Lin Yingqiu's ear, "You're so resistant to this spell, could it be that you've been plotting to betray me all along?"

Hearing Lu Ming's words, Lin Yingqiu was taken aback. Lu Ming continued, "The greatest effect of this spell is to prevent you from betraying me."

Unable to betray him?
Lin Yingqiu couldn't help but think of something. Could it be a kind of restriction? In the cultivation biography left by Lu Xiaoyao, there was a special thing called "restriction".

Restrictions are similar to spells, or rather, spells are a type of restriction. Among restrictions, there is a soul restriction that prevents a person from betraying themselves. For example, if you want to reveal Lu Ming's secret, the restriction will immediately take effect, preventing you from speaking out about Lu Ming's secret.

However, this kind of soul restriction requires the cultivator to voluntarily hand over their life essence. She was a martial artist, and she didn't even know how to hand over her life essence. How did Lu Ming manage to cast that kind of soul restriction on her?

Wasn't it just that Lu Ming took her virginity? Could it be that taking her virginity is the condition for casting the curse? That condition is too simple. How could a soul restriction have such a simple condition?

If being cursed for losing one's virginity is the only reason for such a fate, then the immortals in the cultivation world would probably all be subservient to men.

Although she didn't know what the cultivation world was like, she didn't believe that such a spell could really exist.

Just as Lin Yingqiu was trying to figure out what kind of spell this was, her mind began to become confused, and soon only one thought remained in her mind.

She was finished... From then on, she became this little man's plaything...

Lu Ming then used all the methods he had used on Dongfang Liyue on Lin Yingqiu.

…… noon.

The scorching sun beat down on the capital city, and even standing still, one would be unable to stop sweating from their body.

Inside the small courtyard where Chen Qingying lives.

Chen Qingying sat on a stone bench in the pavilion, looking towards the inner courtyard. She was puzzled; it was already noon, so why hadn't Lin Yingqiu returned yet?

Could something have happened...?

Thinking of this possibility, Chen Qingying frowned slightly.

Lin Yingqiu was just testing the carefree king today; such a test shouldn't have taken this long.

At this moment, Chen Qingying was very worried about Lin Yingqiu's safety. Just as she was thinking about whether she should do something, she saw Lin Yingqiu stagger into the courtyard.

Upon seeing Lin Yingqiu, Chen Qingying immediately asked, "Aunt Lin, what happened?"

Upon hearing Chen Qingying's voice, Lin Yingqiu, who had been in a daze, instantly came to her senses. She looked at Chen Qingying and said, "No...nothing happened."

She must never let Chen Qingying find out about her relationship with Lu Ming, especially the fact that Lu Ming had cursed her.

Although she didn't know the true purpose of the spell, the fact that she was influenced by it to cater to Lu Ming proved that the spell did indeed have the power to control people.

Once the others in the Moonflower Palace learn of this spell, she will have to leave the Moonflower Palace and leave Chen Qingying.

Seeing a seductive blush rise on Lin Yingqiu's jade-like cheeks, and noticing her hesitant answer, Chen Qingying asked suspiciously, "Aunt Lin, aren't you...?"

Before Chen Qingying could finish speaking, Lin Yingqiu immediately said, "Palace Master, this is not the place to talk. Let's go inside and talk."

"it is good."

Chen Qingying didn't think much of it and got up to go to her room. Lin Yingqiu followed behind Chen Qingying, trying her best to control her trembling body and make herself look normal.

After entering Chen Qingying's room, Chen Qingying turned her head and looked at Lin Yingqiu again. For some reason, she felt that Lin Yingqiu was different today than before.

She couldn't quite put her finger on what exactly had changed, but she felt that she seemed to have become more elegant, more beautiful, and also more... alluring?

Lin Yingqiu then said, "Palace Master, Prince Xiaoyao said he has no interest in the throne."

Chen Qingying was slightly surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that it made sense.

The Prince of Xiaoyao's status was already quite high, and he was also a spoiled brat with no ambition. His only motivation for becoming emperor was to enjoy himself. But even if he wasn't emperor, he could still enjoy himself, so whether he was emperor or not made no difference to him.

However, if he doesn't become emperor, how can I use him to gain the dynasty's fortune?

He absolutely had to become emperor; even if it meant being forced, they had to push him onto the throne.

After regaining her senses, Chen Qingying took another look at Lin Yingqiu. At this moment, beads of sweat were constantly sliding down Lin Yingqiu's neck, making it seem as if she had just been in a fight with someone.

Chen Qingying asked expressionlessly, "Aunt Lin, did you just fight with that woman from the Xiao family?"

Lin Yingqiu hadn't returned for so long, and her demeanor was off when she entered the courtyard. Chen Qingying suspected that Lin Yingqiu might have had some kind of impulsive encounter with the Prince of Xiaoyao and had fought with Xiao Qingyun. (End of Chapter)
