Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

When Lin Yingqiu pushed open the door to the study, she did not see Lu Ming.

Lin Yingqiu was stunned when she saw the empty study.

Just as she turned her head to ask the maid at the door where the carefree prince was, she heard Lu Ming's voice coming from inside the study.

"come in."

Upon hearing Lu Ming's voice, Lin Yingqiu's body trembled slightly involuntarily.

Lin Yingqiu looked into the study and then realized that Lu Ming was in the rest room inside the study.

She then calmed herself down, closed the study door, and walked towards the rest room inside the study.

Upon entering the study's rest room, Lu Ming's handsome face came into view. He was dressed in a white robe with gold trim and wore a white jade and glass crown, making him look like an immortal descended to earth.

The thought of being tormented by this little man soon stirred a strange emotion within Lin Yingqiu.

Her internal energy began to stir, and her body became increasingly hot.

Lu Ming turned to look at Lin Yingqiu. Lin Yingqiu was wearing a light blue silk dress with a wide belt that cinched her slender waist, highlighting her graceful figure. Her long, jade-like legs were faintly visible under the light gauze, and a charming blush appeared on her jade cheeks.

As Lin Yingqiu got closer to Lu Ming, she found that her body was becoming increasingly out of control, and her mind was filled with images of her time with Lu Ming in the study.

Just as Lin Yingqiu walked up to Lu Ming, she finally lost all her strength and her body went limp. Just as she was about to fall, a pair of broad arms caught her, and Lin Yingqiu fell into Lu Ming's arms.

Lin Yingqiu was terrified. What was wrong with her? She was actually hoping this young man would harm her!
Just then, the little devil's voice rang in her ear, "No need to get so excited just by seeing me, Your Majesty."

Lin Yingqiu did not respond to Lu Ming's words. After lying in Lu Ming's arms, Lin Yingqiu felt a masculine aura coming towards her, and she could no longer control her body.

Just then, Lin Yingqiu suddenly thought of something.

She couldn't possibly be the kind of person who indulges in debauchery, and she hadn't eaten anything before coming here, nor was there any scent in the study that could arouse desire. So, there's only one possibility left for her to end up like this.

The demon's spell worked on her!

The thought of the curse mark on her body made Lin Yingqiu clench her fists involuntarily. If it really was due to the curse, then she would probably become this demon's plaything in the future.

Lin Yingqiu forced herself to stand up and asked weakly, "Your...Your Majesty...I have something I want to ask you."

Lu Ming put his arm around Lin Yingqiu's soft waist, placed one large hand on her waist, and whispered in her ear, "Let's go inside first."

Hearing this, Lin Yingqiu was slightly taken aback. The next moment, Lu Ming sealed her lips with his and led her to the bed in the study's rest room.

After an unknown amount of time, once the two were in the mood, Lu Ming looked into Lin Yingqiu's hazy eyes and said, "Speak, what do you want with me?"

At this moment, Lin Yingqiu's previous restlessness gradually subsided, and she thought to herself, "It really is because of that curse."

Before she came to the study, she had no such feeling at all. Although she occasionally dreamed of being humiliated by Lu Ming when she slept these days, her body did not show any obvious abnormalities.

As soon as she entered the study, especially after seeing Lu Ming, she was so overwhelmed that she could barely stand and instantly fell in love with him.

However, as soon as the two became intimate, her body gradually returned to normal. She wouldn't believe it was any other way than the curse. That despicable little devil!
Lin Yingqiu then asked, "Since last night, there has been a rumor circulating in the capital that the King gave the Blood Lotus to Xiao Qingyun, which helped her become a Grandmaster of the Extreme Realm."

Hearing this, Lu Ming smiled faintly, then began to make a move, "Do you think this rumor is true or false?"

Lin Yingqiu hummed in response, gazing into Lu Ming's deep eyes, "I... um! I don't know..."

Lu Ming said, "If it's true, what will you do?"

Upon hearing Lu Ming's words, Lin Yingqiu fell silent. Even if Lu Ming really gave the Blood Lotus to Xiao Qingyun, Yuehua Palace would be powerless against him.

Lu Ming is a Foundation Establishment Immortal, so she wouldn't dare to confront him.

However, the Blood Lotus was the key spiritual object that helped Chen Qingying take that step. Without the Blood Lotus, it would be very difficult for Chen Qingying to take that step again.

Their Moonflower Palace has two ways to help Chen Qingying break through to the Celestial Realm: one is to use the Blood Lotus, and the other is to absorb the Great Zhou's fortune.

Without the Blood Lotus, Chen Qingying would have to rely on the Great Zhou's fortune to break through. But now that the Great Zhou has Lu Ming, a Foundation Establishment Immortal, would Lu Ming just stand by and watch them seize the Great Zhou's fortune?
Moreover, Chen Qingying's plan was to support Lu Ming to ascend the throne and then control Lu Ming to gain fortune, which made this method even more unworkable.

With Lu Ming's Foundation Establishment Immortal strength, even if Lu Ming really fell in love with Chen Qingying, Chen Qingying's Heart-Locking Curse would not be effective.

On the contrary, it is possible that Chen Qingying will be completely devoured by this little devil and become his plaything, just like herself.

Thinking of the unbearable itch she felt when she was aroused just now, Lin Yingqiu was determined not to let Chen Qingying have the same experience as her.

Seeing that Lin Yingqiu kept her mouth shut and did not speak, Lu Ming continued, "Don't worry, the Blood Lotus is still there. This news was spread by my own people."

"In this way, those martial arts forces will no longer covet the Prince of Xiaoyao's Mansion."

Upon hearing Lu Ming's words, Lin Yingqiu thought to herself, "Just as I thought. When I first heard this rumor, I felt that it was a message that the Prince Xiaoyao's Mansion had deliberately released."

Of course, before seeing the Blood Lotus, she couldn't be completely sure that what Lu Ming said was true.

Lin Yingqiu then said, "I want to... umm... take a look at the Blood Lotus..."

Lu Ming said absentmindedly, "Okay, I'll show you in a bit."

Although the Blood Lotus is very useful to him now, showing it to Lin Yingqiu won't make any difference.

Lin Yingqiu is bound by the Illusionary Butterfly Love Curse, which prevents her from betraying herself. Most importantly, she believes from the bottom of her heart that she is a Foundation Establishment Immortal.

If she didn't want to harm Chen Qingying, even if she saw the Blood Lotus, she wouldn't have any ulterior motives towards it.

Hearing Lu Ming's words, Lin Yingqiu breathed a slight sigh of relief. Since Lu Ming was willing to show her, it proved that the Blood Lotus was still there.

As long as the Blood Lotus still exists, Chen Qingying still has hope of taking that step.

Lin Yingqiu looked at Lu Ming, who had attacked her, with a complex mix of emotions. The only way to obtain the Blood Lotus from this little devil was to serve him well. (End of Chapter)
