Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

Lu Ming rubbed his temples, never expecting that his father's philandering had killed his two good brothers and almost killed him as well.

If it weren't for the fact that he obtained the Goddess's Illustrated Book, he would probably be buried in the ground by now.

It seems I need to be more careful. I can't follow in my father's footsteps. From now on, no woman who has ever had sexual relations with him should leave him, lest they take their own children and run away, corrupting his children and coming back to take revenge on his family.

Lu Ming didn't think much of it. He opened the Goddess Encyclopedia and checked Xiao Qingyun's encyclopedia activation progress.

Xiao Qingyun's character profile has reached 36% activation progress, which means you'll be able to get another treasure chest.

Without any hesitation, Lu Ming claimed the treasure chest and opened it to check the rewards.

[Summoning Spell: Summons nearby spirits to serve you.]

Lu Ming was slightly taken aback when he saw the reward.

Summoning the dead?

Is this considered a technique used by evil cultivators?

Lu Ming didn't think much of it. He didn't care whether it was evil cultivation techniques or not. Anyway, it was a reward from the Goddess's Illustrated Book. It's always good to have more skills. Learning some unorthodox methods might be useful in the future.

Evil is never power itself, but the person who wields it. With this in mind, Lu Ming immediately learned the Summoning Spell.

The next moment, he began to try using the Summoning Spell, wanting to see if he could summon one or two dead souls.

Having lived in this world for so many years, apart from the evil spirit that controlled people last time, he has never seen what a real ghost looks like.

As Lu Ming mobilized his spiritual energy and activated his magic, streams of white spiritual energy spread outwards from the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion like ripples on water. However, after a long while, he still hadn't summoned a single ghost.

Lu Ming was taken aback. Could it be because it wasn't completely dark yet?
Let's try again later tonight.

……

Night fell, and the cool, clear moonlight streamed into the room. Dongfang Liyue stood by the window, reporting the matter of the Gu worms to the masked man inside.

Hearing Dongfang Liyue say that she couldn't use the Mother-Child Gu on Lu Ming, and that even the Mother-Child Gu worms died after touching Lu Ming's body, Lu Bai found it hard to believe.

He even began to suspect that Dongfang Liyue had betrayed him.

However, he quickly dismissed the idea, because it was so outrageous that it didn't even seem like a lie. If Dongfang Liyue had really betrayed him, she wouldn't have said that the Gu worm had died; she would have said that she had already placed a Gu on Lu Ming.

Lu Bai involuntarily released the pressure of a Grandmaster, and with his back to Dongfang Liyue, he coldly said, "Are you sure those Gu worms are dead? Where are their corpses?"

Without hesitation, Dongfang Liyue took out the small porcelain jar from her sleeve. "Here it is."

Lu Bai turned his head and took the small porcelain jar from Dongfang Liyue's hand, opened the lid and looked at the corpse of the Gu worm inside.

The surface of the Gu worm's corpse was free of any wounds, suggesting it had not been killed by human intervention. Of course, if someone had used their true energy to damage the Gu worm's internal organs, the Gu worm's corpse would still appear intact.

However, Lu Bai could not determine the cause of death of the two Gu worms. He only knew some knowledge about Gu worms, but he did not have a particularly deep understanding of them.

Lu Bai frowned beneath the mask, wondering if Yun Jingshu had sent him counterfeit goods.

How could this Gu worm die just by touching a person's body? Even if it couldn't enter Lu Ming's body, it shouldn't have died like that.

This is too outrageous!

and many more……

Lu Bai's mind went blank for a moment, and a possibility suddenly occurred to him: Dragon energy protecting him...

Lu Ming is protected by dragon energy in the capital. If it weren't for the blood of a direct descendant breaking through his dragon energy protection, nothing could harm him!

How could he have forgotten about that!
This Gu worm can be considered a way to harm Lu Ming's body, so when the Dragon Qi protection was activated, the Gu worm was naturally devoured by the Dragon Qi.

After all, how could insects possibly harm a real dragon?

At this moment, Lu Ming was unaware that Lu Bai had come up with a reason that he hadn't thought of, and more importantly, it was quite reasonable.

The thought of Lu Ming's dragon aura protecting him made Lu Bai clench his fists.

Could it be that Dongfang Liyue was unable to use her charm on Lu Ming because of the dragon's protective aura?

Thinking of this, Lu Bai's anger burned even more fiercely.

The greater the effect of the dragon's energy, the more he hated Lu Xiaoyao and the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion.

All of this should have been his!
Seeing that Lu Bai's aura was growing stronger and stronger, and that he remained silent for a long time, and that the atmosphere in the room was becoming more and more oppressive, Dongfang Liyue couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Lu Bai had begun to doubt her?

Just as Dongfang Liyue was preparing to fight Lu Bai directly, Lu Bai finally spoke up, saying, "It seems that this Gu worm can't break through the dragon aura on his body."

"From now on, you should go to the Prince of Xiaoyao's mansion more often to gather information."

Now that Dongfang Liyue's seductive arts are ineffective, and the Mother-Child Gu is also useless, the only option left is to continue using her beauty trap.

If that little bastard is completely infatuated with Dongfang Liyue, he might take the initiative to tell Dongfang Liyue about the affairs of the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion.

Upon hearing Lu Bai's words, Dongfang Liyue thought to herself, "I didn't expect Lu Bai to find such a suitable explanation. It's good that he didn't suspect anything. I can still stay at Baihua Tower and don't have to go to Xiaoyao Wangfu to be tormented every day."

The thought of Lu Ming using her as a forge to forge his weapon made Dongfang Liyue feel weak.

Lu Bai didn't say anything more to Dongfang Liyue. He then turned and left Baihua Tower. He found that he was finding it increasingly difficult to control himself in front of Dongfang Liyue. Even though Dongfang Liyue didn't use any seductive arts on him, she possessed a charming aura that attracted men because she had cultivated seductive skills.

Lu Bai thought to himself that it was fortunate that he had used a spell on her back then, otherwise, once Dongfang Liyue grew up, she might turn around and become his master.

As soon as Lu Bai left, Dongfang Liyue was about to go to bed when a maid's voice came from the doorway, "Master, the Prince of Xiaoyao has sent someone to deliver a message, asking you to go to the Prince of Xiaoyao's residence tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Liyue's heart trembled.

Still going?

Is this little man some kind of animal?

Although Lu Ming used his magic to heal her body and relieve her discomfort, the prolonged intimacy had severely eroded her mental well-being, and she no longer really wanted men.

Dongfang Liyue sighed softly. She could do nothing but lament her bad luck. No wonder her master had warned her not to get close to the men of the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion.

At this moment, Lu Ming stood in the courtyard, trying to use the Summoning Spell again.

He thought to himself, "It's so late now, the spirits of the dead should have already come out."

Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and Lu Ming's spiritual energy was almost depleted, but he still hadn't seen a single ghost.
