Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

Upon hearing Lu Ming's words, Su Wanyun was startled; as expected, Lu Ming had noticed.

For a moment, Su Wanyun felt extremely flustered; she really didn't want Lu Ming to find out about this.

She knew very well that once Lu Ming found out about their relationship, that little rascal would definitely act recklessly.

Sensing Su Wanyun's inner turmoil, Lu Ming's lips curled up slightly, his deep eyes fixed on Su Wanyun's gaze.

Su Wanyun's eyes darted around as she searched for a new excuse in her mind.

Seeing that Su Wanyun did not answer immediately, Lu Ming continued, "Sister Yun really is hiding something from me..."

Hearing this, Su Wanyun became even more flustered. "I...I..."

Seeing the beautiful woman's blushing face, Lu Ming felt that it was about time, so he said, "After I took the pill, Sister Yun must have used her internal energy to help me recover, which is why I was so weak the next day."

“You were afraid I would worry, so you made up an excuse that you caught a cold and that something went wrong while you were practicing your martial arts.”

Hearing Lu Ming's words, Su Wanyun was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that Lu Ming had already thought of an excuse for her. So she calmed her emotions and sighed slightly, saying, "I didn't expect you to find out."

Lu Ming replied in agreement, "As expected..."

Su Wanyun continued, "The antidote pill is too potent. Without someone else to help regulate it, the side effects will be even greater."

Lu Ming held Su Wanyun's hand tightly, gazing at her beautiful face, and said, "From now on, Sister Yun, you can't hide anything from me anymore."

"I..." Su Wanyun hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.

Lu Ming smiled slightly and then said, "I know you're worried about me, Sister Yun, but I have magic that can help you recover quickly. You don't need to hide it from me at all."

Su Wanyun said, "I understand."

Su Wanyun breathed a slight sigh of relief; she had finally managed to keep it a secret.

Just then, Lu Ming continued, "But speaking of which, after I was detoxified, I always felt sore back and aches, and my body felt completely drained."

"Is this also a side effect of the antidote?"

Su Wanyun's body trembled slightly, and she quickly said, "Maybe...maybe."

Lu Ming said, "It really is a side effect."

Su Wanyun asked, "Lu Ming, is there anything else?"

After Lu Ming's magic cleared away her injuries, Su Wanyun felt a little sleepy. She had been tormented all night and couldn't sleep after returning home because of the pain all over her body. Now that she was free of any pain, all she wanted to do was get a good night's sleep.

Lu Ming said, "That's all, Sister Yun, you should get some rest."

At this point, Lu Ming prepared to get up and leave, but Su Wanyun suddenly remembered something and immediately asked, "By the way, how much residual poison is left in your body?"

Lu Ming closed his eyes and pretended to sense it for a moment before replying, "It's strange, this time the detoxification only cleared a small amount of toxins. I wonder if this pill has no effect after being taken once."

Su Wanyun said, "I see. I'll go ask my master to see if it's a problem with the antidote pill."

Lu Ming said, "Then I'll trouble you, Sister Yun. I won't disturb your rest any longer."

Su Wanyun hummed in agreement and didn't say anything more. Lu Ming then got up and left the room.

Only after Lu Ming left the room did Su Wanyun finally breathe a sigh of relief. With the excuse of recuperation, Lu Ming wouldn't suspect anything even if she couldn't get up the next day. However, this wasn't a long-term solution.

After Lu Ming is affected by the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden Technique, he will always need to cultivate with her. Once the toxins in Lu Ming's body are cleared one day, what excuse should she use to get him to take the hallucinogenic pill?
Without the illusion pill as a cover, how could she cultivate with Lu Ming?
Moreover, Lu Ming felt completely drained today. Lu Ming wasn't stupid; if he felt this way every time, he would eventually realize that it was the feeling after sexual intercourse.

Su Wanyun was somewhat troubled. She used to hate Dongfang Liyue and Wu Wanrong for coming to Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion every now and then to exploit Lu Ming, but now she was even more ruthless than them.

If this continues, what if she ruins Lu Ming's cultivation?
Before finding a way to remove the effects of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden Technique, she had to find a way to restrict Lu Ming's movements and prevent him from causing trouble for several hours at a time.

But what method should be used?
……

at the same time.

Lu Fu, Zhuangzi.

Standing on the rooftop, Xiao Qingyun looked in the direction of the Prince Xiaoyao's mansion, her heart growing increasingly uneasy.

Her heart had been racing these past few days, and her eyelids kept twitching; she felt like something big was about to happen.

Xiao Qingyun gripped her sword tightly, her face filled with murderous intent. If she returned and found that Su Wanyun had been violated by Lu Ming, she would rather die with Lu Ming than not demand an explanation from him.

Just as she was lost in thought, a servant in the courtyard looked up at the roof and said, "Miss Xiao, the King has sent a letter requesting that you stay at the estate for a few more days."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingyun frowned. Did they have to stay a few more days?
That bastard wouldn't have really taken advantage of Su Wanyun, would he?

No, she can't stay here any longer!

Without saying a word, Xiao Qingyun jumped off the roof and then mounted her horse, heading straight for the capital.

……

After returning to his room, Lu Ming opened Su Wanyun's profile and checked the activation progress.

At this point, the activation progress of Su Wanyun's character profile has reached 66%, meaning you can claim another treasure chest.

Lu Ming thought to himself that the progress had indeed slowed down, but the activation progress was almost catching up with Dongfang Liyue. You know, he had been dragging Dongfang Liyue to improve the activation progress every day for the past few days, and Dongfang Liyue only had 67% activation progress. But he and Dongfang Liyue had only stayed for two nights, and the activation progress had reached 66%.

Based on this, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Su Wanyun's activation progress is likely to reach the maximum before Dongfang Liyue's.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming opened the treasure chest.

【Demon-Subduing Armor: Profound-grade armor, capable of resisting a certain amount of evil energy (demonic energy, monster energy, evil spirit energy, etc.)】

Upon seeing that it was armor, Lu Ming immediately took it out.

The Demon-Subduing Armor is entirely white-gold, and the moment it is taken out, it emits a dazzling light that makes it impossible for people to open their eyes.

Lu Ming then raised his hand, and a sword flew into his hand. He then cut his finger and dripped a drop of blood onto the Demon-Subduing Armor.

After the blood oath was completed, Lu Ming felt a connection between himself and the Demon-Subduing Armor. The next moment, with a thought, the Demon-Subduing Armor was on his body. The instant the Demon-Subduing Armor was on, he felt extremely comfortable.

Ok?
This feeling caught Lu Ming's attention.

The Demon-Subduing Armor can ward off evil energy, and the moment I put it on, I felt my body become exceptionally relaxed. Does that mean that before I put on the Demon-Subduing Armor, my body was actually being eroded by evil energy?

Just as Lu Ming was pondering the origin of the evil aura, a maid from the outer courtyard entered the courtyard. "Your Majesty, Envoy Mu Zhenling requests an audience." (End of Chapter)
