Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

Lu Ming thought for a moment, but couldn't figure out Dongfang Liyue's purpose in deceiving Su Wanyun, so he simply gave up trying to guess.

In any case, Dongfang Liyue's lie helped him to some extent.

After regaining his senses, Lu Ming pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Life and death are predestined. I've seen through it all. You can't force feelings. So be it."

Seeing Lu Ming say this in such a relaxed manner, Su Wanyun felt as if her heart was being torn apart.

Su Wanyun hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "Lu Ming, I will find a way to help you detoxify..."

Lu Ming said, "Sister Yun, there is only one way to cure that poison, but unfortunately you are unwilling."

"But whether Sister Yun is willing or not, I respect your choice."

Hearing Lu Ming's words, Su Wanyun felt even more distressed.

Su Wanyun then said, "When I was a child, I had a master. The sect my master belonged to had an antidote pill that could cure all poisons. I will write to my master and ask her for an antidote pill. After you take the antidote pill, you may be fine."

Lu Ming knew that the sect Su Wanyun mentioned was the Nine Heavens Academy, but he didn't know much about the Nine Heavens Academy. He only knew that Wu Wanrong and Su Wanyun had both joined the Nine Heavens Academy.

Lu Ming couldn't help but wonder if the Nine Heavens Academy really had an antidote pill that could cure all poisons? This would ruin his plans. If he took the antidote pill and continued to pretend to be poisoned, Su Wanyun might suspect that he was faking it.

At this time, Lu Ming was unaware that the antidote Su Wanyun mentioned, which claimed to cure all poisons, did not exist. Su Wanyun was merely laying the groundwork for personally helping Lu Ming detoxify in the future.

After she helps Lu Ming detoxify, she needs to find a suitable reason to keep it from him, otherwise how did he get rid of the poison? At that time, Lu Ming will definitely suspect that she personally did "that" with him.

The antidote she mentioned could serve as a convenient excuse. When Lu Ming discovers that his poison has been neutralized and asks her about it, she can tell him that it was the antidote given to her by her master that worked. In this way, Lu Ming will not know that she and he had engaged in sexual relations.

Lu Ming then said, "This poison is quite unique; perhaps there is no antidote in the world that can cure it."

Lu Ming was also looking for excuses for the future. After he took the antidote, he planned to continue to pretend that he hadn't been cured. If Su Wanyun asked, he would say that the love poison he had been afflicted with was rather special and not a real poison, so the antidote wouldn't be effective.

Su Wanyun said, "Let's give it a try first. I believe my master's antidote pills should have some effect."

Just as Lu Ming was about to say something, Su Wanyun continued, "I have other things to do, so I won't disturb your cultivation."

Lu Ming said, "Okay, Sister Yun, you go ahead and do your thing."

Su Wanyun then turned and left Lu Ming's courtyard, returning to her room to write a letter.

After watching Su Wanyun's graceful figure leave the courtyard, Lu Ming sent someone to deliver a message to Li Yunfan, asking him to come back today.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Ming had his maid call Xiao Qingyun to his study.

After several days of renovation, Lu Ming's study has been divided into two parts. There is a rest room in the study, and a large bed in the rest room. Lu Ming plans to return to the study to rest when he gets tired of cultivating in the secret room.

At this time, Xiao Qingyun was still patrolling the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion. After the news that there was a spiritual object in the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion was spread, she paid extra attention to the defense of the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion.

She wasn't worried about Lu Ming's safety; after all, that troublemaker was protected by dragon energy, and he was now a cultivator. Few in the Great Zhou could harm him. What worried her was that someone might try to harm Su Wanyun. Perhaps some, knowing they couldn't hurt Lu Ming, would try to target those around him, like Su Wanyun. Some might think that capturing Su Wanyun could force Lu Ming to hand over the spiritual item, given the rumors circulating that Su Wanyun and Lu Ming had an unusual relationship.

When Xiao Qingyun patrolled to the courtyard where Chen Qingying lived, she took a deep look at Chen Qingying and Lin Yingqiu in the courtyard. She now felt that the people from Yuehua Palace probably did not have good intentions in coming to Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion.

However, since Yuehua Palace was Lu Ming's mother's "family," she couldn't say much to Lu Ming.

Just then, one of Lu Ming's personal maids came to Xiao Qingyun and said, "Miss Xiao, the King wants to see you in his study. He has something to discuss with you."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingyun frowned slightly and asked her to go to the study.

What are you going to do in the study?
Could it be a deal...?

Although she also wanted to complete the transaction with Lu Ming as soon as possible, couldn't this bastard have chosen a more suitable place?
Last time, it was in the study, and she was so rudely confronted by this bastard that she could barely stand.

Despite her deep dissatisfaction with Lu Ming, Xiao Qingyun still followed the maid to the study. As Lu Ming's strength increased, she felt that the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion had become more dangerous. For example, the matter of the spiritual object had brought such a big trouble to the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion.

Who knows what kind of people the Prince of Xiaoyao's mansion might provoke in the future? If others can't deal with Lu Ming, they'll definitely target the people around him. If Su Wanyun continues to stay by Lu Ming's side, she might die because of him one day.

Therefore, she had to complete the deal with Lu Ming as soon as possible and take Su Wanyun away from this dangerous place.

When Xiao Qingyun arrived at the study, she found Lu Ming standing outside the study's lounge.

Xiao Qingyun looked into the study and found that Lu Ming's study had changed a lot. There was an extra room in the study, and in that room was a large bed.

Seeing this, Xiao Qingyun was startled. Could it be that this bastard deliberately transformed the study into this way just to mess with her?
She knew that Lu Ming had had the study renovated these past few days, but she didn't expect that Lu Ming would add such a large bed to the study.

Is this still a study?

This room is probably used by this guy specifically for doing that kind of thing.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Although Lu Ming is now a cultivator, he was originally an uneducated playboy. Apart from knowing a few words, he has no literary knowledge whatsoever. Giving him this study would be of no use. Changing it like this is in line with his usual style.

After regaining her senses, Xiao Qingyun said coldly, "What do you want from me?"

Lu Ming turned to look at Xiao Qingyun. Xiao Qingyun was wearing a dark blue dress with several carp embroidered on the hem. She had a wide belt around her waist, held a sword in her hand, and had her hair draped over her waist. She looked like a female knight-errant.

Lu Ming asked with a smile, "Sister Xiao came to see me with a sword. Could it be that you intend to murder your husband?"

Upon hearing the words "murder her husband," Xiao Qingyun's expression turned even colder. She coldly reminded him, "There is only a transaction between us!"

Lu Ming smiled faintly, seemingly unconcerned. "This is a room I specially prepared for you. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Xiao Qingyun sneered inwardly. Just as she had thought, this scoundrel had deliberately created this room to humiliate her. (End of Chapter)
