Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

Faced with the temptation of the elixir, even knowing that she would become the forging furnace, Dongfang Liyue was willing.

Seeing the beautiful woman in front of him displaying a charming and alluring demeanor, Lu Ming's heart stirred slightly.

He had originally said he would take a few days off, but now it seems he probably won't have many days off in the future.

Among the illustrations he has activated, there are still five others—Su Wanyun, Li Qingluan, Mu Yunyan, Xuan Yingzhen, and Chen Qingying—whose illustrations he hasn't even started activating much yet, and he's already so busy.

Fortunately, the "Purple Sun Body Refining Technique" he cultivated could enhance his physical strength, while the "Rejuvenation Technique" could ensure his recovery ability, and the "Nine Revolutions Heart and Soul Technique" could enhance his soul strength.

With these three skills, he can keep up even if he has to grind for the encyclopedia every day.

At this moment, Lu Ming took out a Body Tempering Pill from his system space and handed it to Dongfang Liyue, saying, "Take this elixir first."

Without hesitation, Dongfang Liyue took the elixir from Lu Ming's hand, stuffed it into her mouth, and swallowed it directly, as if afraid that Lu Ming would change his mind.

After all, this is a magic pill that can help martial artists improve their strength. She believed that even Lu Ming wouldn't be able to produce too many of these magic pills.

In her opinion, this elixir must have been left to Lu Ming by the old carefree king, and every one used would be one less.

After Dongfang Liyue took the Body Tempering Pill, she immediately felt a surge of power flowing into her body. For a moment, she couldn't help but activate her seductive arts. However, even after taking the Body Tempering Pill, she still hadn't taken the step of becoming a Grandmaster, and always felt that something was missing.

Dongfang Liyue instantly understood what was going on. She was cultivating a seductive art, and she needed a furnace to break through.

She looked up at Lu Ming, hoping he would help her, but the next moment she saw Lu Ming's eyes turn red, and the desire in his eyes was almost overflowing.

This……

At this moment, Lu Ming felt that Dongfang Liyue seemed to have become particularly charming, and with the surge of blood and qi in his body and the uncontrollable restlessness of his spiritual energy, he felt itchy and wished he could immediately pin Dongfang Liyue down on the bed.

He knew he was under the influence of Dongfang Liyue's charm technique. At this moment, he could have used the Heart-Cleansing Technique to dispel the charm technique's influence on him, but Lu Ming did not do so.

For him, Dongfang Liyue's charm technique was a drug that could arouse his ferocity, so he had no need to dispel its effects.

Seeing Lu Ming's murderous look, Dongfang Liyue trembled slightly. She was immediately frightened and hurriedly tried to calm the restless true energy in her body and stop the flow of her seductive arts.

If she uses her charm on others, she can control them, but she absolutely cannot use it on Lu Ming. If she does, disaster will follow.

Before Dongfang Liyue could calm her internal energy, Lu Ming pushed her down onto the bed, pinning her beneath him and glaring at her fiercely. "How dare you use your seductive arts on me! You have quite the nerve!"

Before Dongfang Liyue could even retort after Lu Ming finished speaking, she heard a tearing sound. Dongfang Liyue's heart tightened; it was all over...

For the rest of the day, Dongfang Liyue could only endure the torrent of abuse brought by Lu Ming.

……

In the evening, the sun sets.

The fiery red glow of the setting sun shone through the window into the room, falling on people and making the beads of sweat on their skin stand out clearly.

Just then, a powerful aura emanated from Dongfang Liyue's body. Immediately afterward, Dongfang Liyue's seductive arts began to circulate wildly. In a daze, Dongfang Liyue once again used her seductive arts on Lu Ming. As her seductive arts were released, Lu Ming became even more ferocious. Dongfang Liyue immediately came to her senses and quickly regulated her breathing to calm the restless true energy within her body.

Dongfang Liyue was in agony, wondering how she had ended up with such a master.

But just then, she felt a cool energy surge into her body, and the restless internal energy calmed down, while her discomfort gradually disappeared.

Dongfang Liyue knew that Lu Ming was using magic to heal her.

Knowing that he could use magic to heal her meant that Lu Ming was still conscious and had not completely lost his mind because of her seductive arts.

This little devil really has no mercy on people. He's clearly sober, yet he's still so vicious.

Just as Lu Ming was about to continue, Xiao Huan's voice came from the doorway, "Your Majesty, something has happened at the Lu residence."

Hearing this, Lu Ming was taken aback. He then stopped his attack on Dongfang Liyue and asked towards the door, "What happened?"

Xiao Huan said, "Commander Li just sent someone to deliver a message saying that two groups of people broke into the Lu family estate at noon today. One group went to the Lu residence, and the other group went to the tomb of Lu Xianren. They seem to be looking for something."

Upon hearing Xiao Huan's answer, Lu Ming frowned. The people who went to the Lu residence were probably looking for immortal techniques.

As more and more forces are drawn to the capital by the news that the Prince of Xiaoyao's mansion possesses a spiritual object, such incidents will likely occur many more times.

Perhaps in the eyes of those forces, since they've already come to the capital, they might as well go to the Lu family's estate to see if they can find the immortal techniques left behind by the old carefree king.

Compared to the heavily guarded Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion, it was much easier for them to enter the Lu family's estate. The estate was so large that not every part was under surveillance.

Moreover, the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion has been repeatedly searched by spies from various forces over the years, but no trace of the old Xiaoyao Prince's immortal techniques has been found. Now, the Jianghu forces are likely far more interested in the Lu family manor than the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion, especially his father's tomb, which is more attractive to those Jianghu forces.

The thought of those forces brazenly intruding into his territory filled Lu Ming with rage; they all really thought he was a pushover.

After venting his anger, he stood up and said to the maids in the side hall, "Prepare hot water."

As soon as Lu Ming finished speaking, the personal maids waiting in the side hall immediately sprang into action.

Lu Ming turned his head and glanced at Dongfang Liyue lying on the bed. "Now that you have broken through to the Grandmaster realm, that person should be unable to do anything to you. If he asks you whether you have used a Gu on me, just say that the Gu worm cannot enter my body."

Once Dongfang Liyue reached the Grandmaster realm, she gained the ability to protect herself and had no need to worry about that person suspecting her. Even if they did suspect her, with her Grandmaster-level strength, she could escape unscathed.

Not only could she escape unscathed, but her seductive skills could even influence that person.

Dongfang Liyue, catching her breath, said, "Your Majesty...should I try to control him using my seductive arts?"

Dongfang Liyue thought to herself that the best way to find out the man's identity was to control him instead. As long as she controlled him with her charm, she could make him reveal all his secrets.

Lu Ming said, "Not for now. You are both grandmasters, and he is wary of you. If you use seductive arts on him, he might find out." (End of Chapter)
