Genius in the whole system: The useless young lady dominates the world

【The Town That Never Sleeps】

Lu Lingxi and Nalan Rongzhi arrived at the town closest to Shadow Valley – Never Sleeps Town. In the center of Never Sleeps Town stands a towering tower that reaches into the clouds, called the "Tower of Never Sleeps." The tower shimmers with strange light, which is said to be the mysterious power that protects Never Sleeps Town. Every time night falls, the light from the tower becomes even more dazzling, illuminating the entire town and making the night as bright as day. That is how Never Sleeps Town got its name.

Although it was late at night, the streets of the town were still bustling with activity. The shouts of vendors rose and fell, and all kinds of goods were on display. The air was filled with the tempting aroma of food, and the night market stalls were crowded with people, filled with laughter and chatter.

Nalan Rongzhi led Lu Lingxi into an antique-style inn. The inn was brightly lit and full of guests. They first asked the innkeeper for two clean and tidy rooms, and after settling Lu Lingxuan in, they turned and went to the lobby on the first floor.

Nalan Rongzhi ordered a large table of her favorite dishes for Lu Lingxi, each one carefully selected, as if afraid she wouldn't have enough to eat.

"It's just the two of us, and you've ordered so much. We won't be able to finish it. Isn't that a waste?" Lu Lingxi looked at the table full of delicious food. Although she was touched, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Upon hearing this, Nalan Rongzhi's gaze unconsciously fell on Lu Lingxi Yao's slightly thin body, and his tone was tinged with heartache, "It's been so long since I've seen you, look how thin you've become, you've only grown taller but not gained weight, I have to make sure you get some nourishment!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Lingxi felt a surge of warmth in her heart, but it was also mixed with a sense of helplessness. She sighed softly and could only pick up her chopsticks and silently savor each dish, even though she wasn't actually hungry at the moment.

After the meal, the two went to Lu Lingxuan's room together. On the bed, Lu Lingxuan lay quietly, his face pale and his body covered with shocking wounds. The blood had dried, and his condition was critical.

Lu Lingxi frowned, her eyes filled with worry. She quickly took out an exquisite jade bottle from her bosom, gently opened it, and a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out. This was a healing elixir she had refined herself, which had miraculous effects on recovering from injuries.

"Nalan Rongzhi, help me lift him up, I need to apply medicine to him." Lu Lingxi's voice was urgent, yet calm.

Upon hearing this, Nalan Rongzhi immediately stepped forward and carefully helped Lu Lingxuan up, letting him lean against him. Lu Lingxi opened the jade bottle and evenly sprinkled the medicine on Lu Lingxuan's wound. The moment the medicine touched the wound, the skin around the wound began to turn slightly red, as if it was accelerating the healing process.

As the medicine seeped in, Lu Lingxuan's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and his breathing became much more steady. However, he still did not wake up and remained unconscious. Lu Lingxi Yao did not stop what she was doing; she continued to treat Lu Lingxuan's wounds.

"Yaoyao, his injuries seem to be improving." Nalan Rongzhi carefully observed Lu Lingxuan's changes and said softly.

"I've applied the medicine to him, but it will take some time for him to wake up!" Lu Lingxi's voice was tinged with exhaustion as she sprinkled the last bit of medicine on the wound and then gently covered Lu Lingxuan with a blanket.

Nalan Rongzhi noticed that Lu Lingxi Yao seemed a little tired and said softly, "You should go back to your room and rest. I'll watch over things here!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Lingxi looked up at Nalan Rongzhi, a hint of tenderness and gratitude flashing in her eyes. She gently shook her head and said, "How can I leave now? Lu Lingxuan is the patriarch of the Lu Ling clan. I promised the elders of the Lu Ling clan that I would bring him back safely. I must ensure that he is safe and sound."

Seeing this, Nalan Rongzhi felt a surge of warmth in his heart, but also a touch of helplessness. "Yaoyao, even so, you must take care of your health. If you collapse, who will take care of him?"

Lu Lingxi Yao was silent for a moment, a hint of struggle flashing in her eyes, before finally nodding, as if she had made a decision. "Alright, you look after things for me for a while, I'll go rest for a bit and come right back."

Nalan Rongzhi smiled and nodded, then reached out and gently patted Lu Lingxi Yao's shoulder. "Go ahead, I'll take care of things here, don't worry."

Lu Lingxi gave Nalan Rongzhi a grateful look, then turned and left the room. After Lu Lingxi left, Nalan Rongzhi walked to Lu Lingxuan's bedside, gazing at the sleeping elder with a complex expression, and murmured softly.

"You must get through this, for the sake of Lu Ling's family and for Yao Yao's sake."

At that moment, a faint sound of footsteps came from outside the room. Nalan Rongzhi turned around alertly and saw Ying holding a secret letter in his hand.

"Your Excellency, urgent intelligence! We have new leads regarding the origins of those men in black."

Nalan Rongzhi took the secret letter, quickly glanced through it, and his brows gradually furrowed. It seemed that this storm was far more complex and dangerous than he had imagined.

The next morning, a slight sound suddenly came from inside the room. Lu Lingxuan's fingers twitched slightly, followed by a tremor in his eyelids. Nalan Rongzhi immediately noticed this change and his gaze instantly fell on Lu Lingxuan's face.

Finally, Lu Lingxuan slowly opened his eyes, a hint of confusion and weakness in his deep gaze. He looked around with difficulty, and when his eyes fell on Nalan Rongzhi, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"You are……"

"I am Nalan Rongzhi. It was my fiancée, Lu Lingxi, who saved you. She expended a lot of energy saving you and is resting in the next room now! So, don't be nervous, we won't harm you."

Upon hearing this, a hint of gratitude and confusion flashed in Lu Lingxuan's eyes. He tried to sit up, but his body clearly wouldn't allow him to, and he could only lean helplessly against the pillow.

"Lu Lingxi Yao? Who...is she?"

Upon seeing this, Nalan Rongzhi quickly stepped forward and gently pressed his shoulder, signaling him to rest assured.

"She is the young lady of the Lu Ling family on the Holy Spirit Continent. She came here specifically to find you on the behalf of your clan elder. Unexpectedly, she actually found you and saved you at a critical moment."

Upon hearing this, an incredulous look flashed in Lu Lingxuan's eyes, "Holy Spirit Continent... Lu Ling Clan?"

Just then, hurried footsteps came from outside the door, and then Lu Lingxi Yao pushed the door open and entered, her face beaming with joy and excitement at seeing Lu Lingxuan wake up.

"Clan leader, you've finally woken up! I am Lu Lingxi Yao, entrusted by the elders to search for your whereabouts."

Looking at the young woman before him, Lu Lingxuan felt a surge of indescribable emotion. "You... saved me? Thank you! But those men in black, they..."

Lu Lingxi gently shook her head, indicating that he should not worry. "We can discuss the matter of those men in black later. Right now, the most important thing is for your body to recover."

Nalan Rongzhi chimed in, "Yes, you should rest well first. We'll talk about it again once you've recovered!"
