Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

Chapter 36 If you want dragon energy, you have to come and get it yourself

As soon as Lu Ming finished speaking, his claws began to wander all over Wu Wanrong's nightgown.

The nightgown clung to her graceful body, and his palms caressed it gently, just like caressing human skin.

At this time, Wu Wanrong had been frightened by Lu Ming. There were two voices in her heart. One voice told her to take action against Lu Ming and give this evildoer a good beating. The other voice warned her to be cautious.

Once she takes action, if she fails to effectively deter Lu Ming, or if she does not have the ability to kill Lu Ming, she will eventually be completely passive.

What she wanted to know most now was whether Lu Ming knew magic.

Feeling Lu Ming's hands on her unscrupulously, Wu Wanrong's expression became increasingly cold.

Lu Ming continued to whisper in Wu Wanrong's ear, "Choose me as your ally, and I will help you reach that position."

"With your current strength, even if you are the goddess of the Jiutian Courtyard, you cannot defeat Emperor Zhou."

After hearing Lu Ming's words, Wu Wanrong's cold expression showed a hint of surprise.

The first time Lu Ming met her, he told her everything he knew about her. At that time, she just thought that Lu Ming guessed that she wanted dragon energy and wanted that supreme position.

She had never expected that Lu Ming actually knew that she was the goddess of Jiutianyuan.

How could Lu Ming even know this!

Even Su Wanyun, a disciple of Jiutian Academy, didn’t know that she was the celestial maiden of Jiutian Academy, but Lu Ming saw through her hidden identity at a glance!
Feeling Wu Wanrong's slightly trembling body, Lu Ming knew that Wu Wanrong had been fooled by him.

After Wu Wanrong came back to her senses, she said expressionlessly, "Prince Xiaoyao is so smart and knows immortal arts, why doesn't he ascend to that position himself and help me instead?"

"Could it be that King Xiaoyao thinks I'm a fool?"

Lu Ming said, "My father is the only immortal in the Great Zhou. If he wanted to be emperor, no one could stop him. But he didn't become emperor. Instead, he only let Emperor Taizu confer the title of King Xiaoyao on him. He didn't even ask for the fiefdom. Do you know why?"

Wu Wanrong fell silent and did not answer Lu Ming's question.

Lu Ming continued, "Because to him, the country is not important. He only pursues immortality. The reason he helped Emperor Taizu conquer the country is simply to better obtain the cultivation resources he needs."

"If he hadn't realized his end was near and his dream of immortality couldn't be realized, he wouldn't have married and had children in his later years."

"And this king and he are of the same kind."

Lu Ming's words slightly moved Wu Wanrong. If Lu Ming really only wanted to seek immortality and longevity, and had no interest in power, then he would definitely be a more reliable ally than any other minister in the court.

but……

Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.

What if Lu Ming was lying to her? What if Lu Ming's real purpose was to get the throne? She would not be able to defeat such a smart person who mastered magic.

At this time, Lu Ming sensed Wu Wanrong's emotions through the "Telepathic Technique". It was obvious that Wu Wanrong had become interested in his proposal.

Lu Ming didn't plan to just stand there any longer. He then hugged Wu Wanrong and slowly walked towards the bed. When he laid Wu Wanrong down on the bed and pressed his body against her, Wu Wanrong finally spoke:
"Is King Xiaoyao really just after immortality?"

Wu Wanrong looked straight at Lu Ming, as if she wanted to see through his thoughts.

Lu Ming looked at Wu Wanrong and replied, "Of course it's true."

Wu Wanrong continued, "If it's for immortality, why would you form an alliance with me?"

If Lu Ming wanted immortality, then he should just pursue it honestly. There was no need to help her reach that position.

Lu Ming said, "Because someone doesn't want me to live forever."

Wu Wanrong immediately realized that Emperor Zhou wanted the dragon energy in Lu Ming, so he would definitely find ways to get rid of Lu Ming.

Moreover, the old Xiaoyao King had offended too many people, and those people wanted to completely wipe out the Xiaoyao Palace. At present, the Xiaoyao Palace was in a bad situation. Wu Wanrong immediately made a conclusion in her heart. Even if Lu Ming really mastered the immortal arts left by the old Xiaoyao King, his current strength was not very strong.

If he already possessed the same strength as his father, he would not have to fear anyone or form an alliance with anyone.

Thinking of this, Wu Wanrong felt a little more relaxed, and then she put forward her conditions.

"I want half of your dragon energy!"

Since Lu Ming can no longer die, it is impossible for him to give all his dragon energy to her. However, if Lu Ming wants to become her ally, he cannot do so without making any sacrifice.

Hearing Wu Wanrong's conditions, Lu Ming agreed without hesitation: "Okay."

Wu Wanrong was slightly startled. She didn't expect Lu Ming to agree so readily. But the next moment, Lu Ming added, "But you have to pay in installments."

Wu Wanrong frowned, "What do you mean?"

Although she didn't understand what installment payment meant, she felt it was not a good word.

Lu Ming placed his large hand on Wu Wanrong's soft belly and slowly moved it downwards. He then said, "If you want the dragon energy, you have to come and get it yourself, and I won't give it all to you at once."

Wu Wanrong instantly understood what Lu Ming meant from his small gesture and his words. She looked at Lu Ming coldly, and the true energy in her body became agitated again.

Wu Wanrong asked coldly, "What do you think of me?"

Lu Ming said: "Alliances are either for common interests or because both parties have interests to exchange."

"As for you, I can provide you with dragon energy, but what can you give me now?"

"If you can't give me anything, but I selflessly give you dragon energy and help you reach that position, you should worry about whether I am sincere in helping you."

Wu Wanrong asked, "Don't you and I have a common enemy?"

Lu Ming said, "We do have a common enemy, but let's be honest. If this is just an alliance, I don't have to give you dragon energy. Since you want dragon energy, you should naturally give me something in exchange."

Wu Wanrong stared at Lu Ming coldly for a long time without saying a word.

She finally understood that even though this man said he was pursuing immortality, he was no different from an ordinary person in his heart.

After a long while, Wu Wanrong finally said, "I can promise you."

Seeing that Wu Wanrong had agreed, Lu Ming said no more and leaned over to kiss Wu Wanrong's red lips.

They had been talking for so long that his patience had reached its limit. It was time to interact with her properly and brush up the activation progress.

Xiaoyao Palace, backyard.

Su Wanyun was currently guarding the servants who were making perfume. In recent days, she had been paying extra attention to the production of perfume and would stay in the backyard until very late at night, for fear that someone from outside would break in.

At this moment, she suddenly discovered that there were two more guards in the backyard, and those two guards were arranged by her to protect Lu Ming.

Su Wanyun quickly walked up to the two guards and asked unhappily, "Why are you here in the backyard? Didn't I ask you to protect Lu Ming?"

Her focus was on the backyard, and she was worried that no one would be watching Lu Ming and an assassin would break in, so she arranged for someone to protect Lu Ming. As a result, these two people also came to the backyard.

One of the guards said, "Miss Su, it was the king who asked us to come to the backyard."

Hearing this, Su Wanyun walked towards Lu Ming's yard without saying a word.

Lu Ming must be protected.
