Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

Chapter 42 Hunters Sometimes Appear as Prey
Dongfang Liyue looked at the elixir in her hand, her eyes becoming extremely fiery.

At this moment, Lu Ming felt that he could no longer hold on.

Dongfang Liyue's graceful and mature body was covered with only a thin layer of gauze, which made her look like she was not wearing any clothes when she lay on Lu Ming. Coupled with her mature feminine aura and Dongfang Liyue's charm, Lu Ming wanted to have sex with her directly.

At this time, Dongfang Liyue looked at the Bewitching Heart Pill in her hand, and then looked at Lu Ming who had a dazed look on his face. She believed that there was no problem with her charm skills. Since Lu Ming had taken this pill, then it would definitely be okay for her to take it too.

Dongfang Liyue put the Heart-Confusing Pill into her mouth without hesitation. Seeing Dongfang Liyue swallow the Heart-Confusing Pill directly, Lu Ming felt relieved.

He had originally planned to put the Confused Heart Pill in the tea, but he didn't expect that he could fool Dongfang Liyue so easily.

After Dongfang Liyue swallowed the Confused Heart Pill, she did not feel any discomfort or any strange changes.

The only change seems to be that the body becomes hotter?

Dongfang Liyue thought that it would take some time for the medicinal effect of this elixir to be fully released.

After taking the Confused Heart Pill, Dongfang Liyue's gaze returned to Lu Ming again. Lu Ming's face was fair and handsome, and the masculine scent on him made Dongfang Liyue unable to stop.

She put her jade head on Lu Ming's neck again, took a deep breath and said, "This is really a top-notch furnace. It's a pity that I took the elixir. If I hadn't taken the elixir, I would definitely practice dual cultivation with you."

At this point, Dongfang Liyue continued to ask, "Can you tell me how to make perfume?"

Hearing this question, Lu Ming replied: "I don't know either."

Dongfang Liyue did not suspect Lu Ming's answer. The entire Xiaoyao Palace was managed by Su Wanyun. In her opinion, the perfume should also have been developed by Su Wanyun and her team. It was normal that Lu Ming, the useless Xiaoyao King, did not know about it.

Now that she had gathered almost all the information about Xiaoyao Palace, it was time to end it. She felt a little uncomfortable in her lower abdomen.

Then, Dongfang Liyue asked the last question she wanted to know.

"Good brother, can you tell me where Feng Rui and those spies from Baihua Tower have gone?"

This is what Dongfang Liyue cares about the most. Lu Ming's recovery can be explained by the effect of the elixir, but the disappearance of those spies and Feng Rui cannot be explained.

They suddenly disappeared without a trace, they must have been discovered and dealt with. Dongfang Liyue was very curious about who could find all the spies in Baihua Tower.

Lu Ming replied blankly, "Feng Rui said he would tell the Queen the good news of my recovery. He never returned after leaving Xiaoyao Palace."

After all, Lu Ming is the son of an immortal and the descendant of the old King Xiaoyao. After his health recovers, he really needs to send someone to report the good news to the people in the palace.

Feng Rui was the personal servant of the old King Xiaoyao, and he also had a certain status in the King Xiaoyao's Palace. After Lu Ming recovered, it was understandable that he sent him to the palace to report the good news.

but……

Dongfang Liyue frowned slightly. Feng Rui disappeared after running to the palace to announce the good news?

Could it be that when the people in the palace heard that Lu Ming had recovered, they were very angry and directly dealt with Feng Rui who came to report the good news?
But this also cannot explain why the other spies in Baihua Tower mysteriously disappeared.

Dongfang Liyue then asked, "What about the other spies from Baihua Tower?"

Lu Ming said dully, "I don't know."

Dongfang Liyue glanced at Lu Ming's dazed expression, and she thought to herself that it seemed that this matter had nothing to do with Lu Ming, and might even have nothing to do with Xiaoyao Palace.

Other forces intervened.

Moreover, it was a force with very advanced intelligence, and it was that force that eliminated all the spies that Baihualou had planted in Xiaoyao Palace.

However, she simply couldn't figure out which force was secretly targeting Baihua Tower and aiding King Xiaoyao. Dongfang Liyue pondered for a moment and decided to report the matter to the higher-ups, allowing them to figure it out.

Then, she whispered in Lu Ming's ear: "Good brother, forget what happened just now."

After she finished speaking, Dongfang Liyue turned and walked to the door, looking as if she had just entered the room.

Dongfang Liyue then put away her charm.

The moment Dongfang Liyue put away her charm, Lu Ming felt that the restlessness in his body disappeared, but some of his body's reactions did not disappear with the disappearance of the charm.

Dongfang Liyue said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I came here to discuss cooperation with you, but why do I feel that you want more than just cooperation with me?"

Having said that, Dongfang Liyue's gaze gradually moved downwards.

Lu Ming pretended to have just come to his senses. He quickly lowered his head, then suddenly raised his head and said with an embarrassed look, "Ahem, Master Dongfang is the most beautiful woman in the capital. I found it difficult to control myself when I was suddenly alone with her. I hope Master Dongfang can understand."

Dongfang Liyue smiled and said, "What do you mean by the most beautiful woman in the capital? Isn't that just a self-proclaimed title from Baihualou? In terms of beauty, I can't compare to the king's two good sisters."

Lu Ming pretended to change the subject and said, "By the way, where were we just now?"

Dongfang Liyue then said, "Your Majesty, the deep cooperation I'm talking about is sharing the perfume-making method with Baihualou. Baihualou and Xiaoyao Palace will produce perfume together, and the profits from the perfume will be split 20% and 80% between Baihualou and Xiaoyao Palace."

Lu Ming pretended to be stunned for a moment, then said, "I'm afraid not!"

Dongfang Liyue was not at all surprised by Lu Ming's answer.

If she wanted Lu Ming to agree to this condition, she could have done so by using her charm. The reason why she did not say this to Lu Ming by using her charm was because she knew that the entire Xiaoyao Palace was controlled by Su Wanyun and Xiao Qingyun.

Lu Ming is just a puppet.

Even if Lu Ming agreed, Su Wanyun would not agree. She proposed this condition just as a formality.

Dongfang Liyue asked in confusion, "Why is this? Doesn't the king trust Baihua Tower?"

"Your Majesty should know that Baihualou is a favorite haunt of dignitaries. If Baihualou launches perfume, those dignitaries will definitely rush to buy it."

"This way, Xiaoyao Palace doesn't have to make its own perfume, saving a lot of manpower and resources."

Lu Ming sighed and said helplessly, "Master Dongfang, you don't know that the perfume was developed by my sister. She will not agree to me handing over the perfume making method."

Dongfang Liyue burst out laughing, then said, "The King truly dotes on Miss Su. Xiaoyao Palace is clearly the King's, yet the King has handed the entire Xiaoyao Palace over to Miss Su to manage."

Lu Ming said, "If she hadn't managed Xiaoyao Palace's assets for me over the years, I would have been begging on the streets long ago."

Dongfang Liyue said, "Since the king is unwilling, then forget it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Dongfang Liyue turned around, opened the door, and left the study.

Seeing Dongfang Liyue's graceful back as she left, Lu Ming smiled slightly, and a sentence emerged in his mind.

Hunters sometimes appear as prey.

It seems that Dongfang Liyue, the prey, has not realized that she is the prey at this moment.
