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

When Lu Lingxi opened her eyes again, she found herself in a completely unfamiliar place.

"Where is this...?" Lu Lingxi murmured to herself, her eyes filled with doubt. She looked around but could not see Feng Qingxue.

"Xiaoxue! Xiaoxue!" Lu Lingxi called out anxiously, her voice echoing through the valley.

"I'm here!" a weak voice came from not far away.

Lu Lingxi looked in the direction of the sound and saw Feng Qingxue lying on a patch of grass, her face pale and her breath weak.

"Xiaoxue! How are you?" Lu Lingxi Yao rushed over and helped Feng Qingxue up.

Feng Qingxue's back wound was still bleeding, but it was no longer as shocking as before. She slowly opened her eyes, looked at Lu Lingxi Yao, and smiled weakly.

"I'm fine... just a little tired..."

Lu Lingxi Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief. She looked around, her heart filled with doubt. Where exactly was this place? Just then, a melodious flute sound came from afar, the sound clear and pleasant, as if it came from heaven.

"Is someone here?" Lu Lingxi asked curiously.

“I don’t know…” Feng Qingxue shook her head, her eyes also filled with doubt.

The flute music grew closer, and Lu Lingxi and Feng Qingxue looked in the direction of the sound. They saw a man in white slowly walking out of the woods. The man was tall and slender, with a handsome face and an otherworldly air, like a banished immortal. He held a jade flute in his hand, and the music was coming from his hand.

Upon seeing this man, Lu Lingxi and Feng Qingxue were both stunned. They had never seen such a handsome man before. Of course, in Lu Lingxi's mind, this man was still a little inferior to Nalan Rongzhi.

The man walked up to them, stopped, and smiled slightly at them. "Welcome to Peach Blossom Spring, ladies."

Feng Qingxue's back throbbed with pain. She frowned slightly and warily surveyed her surroundings. "Peach Blossom Spring?"

The man chuckled softly, his voice clear and melodious, "This is a secluded paradise, how did you get in?"

Before the two could reply, he paused, his gaze falling on Feng Qingxue, "Miss, are you injured?"

Feng Qingxue subconsciously took a step back, protecting her hands behind her back. Her tone was cold, with a hint of hostility, "It's none of your business."

The man remained unperturbed, maintaining his gentle smile. "Miss, there's no need to be nervous. I mean no harm. My name is Bai Ze. If you don't mind, you can come with me to heal your wounds."

Lu Lingxi tugged at Feng Qingxue's sleeve and whispered, "Qingxue, he doesn't seem like a bad person. Why don't you go with him first? Your injuries need to be treated as soon as possible."

Feng Qingxue hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. She knew that Lu Lingxi was right. Her injury could not be delayed any longer. Moreover, this man named Bai Ze seemed to have no ill intentions, but his strength was unfathomable. If they were to confront him head-on, they probably would not gain any advantage.

Bai Ze led them through a peach blossom grove to a delicate bamboo house. The bamboo house was nestled among green trees and red flowers, making it appear exceptionally quiet and elegant.

"Please come in, ladies." Bai Ze pushed open the bamboo door, and a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out.

The bamboo house is simply furnished yet cozy. A soft brocade quilt covers a bamboo bed, and a small wooden table is placed next to it, with a few books and a teapot on it.

Bai Ze gestured for them to sit down, then turned and took out a white jade bottle from the cabinet. "This is a unique elixir from Peach Blossom Spring, which has miraculous effects on treating external injuries."

He poured out a pill and handed it to Feng Qingxue, saying, "Please take this, Miss."

Feng Qingxue took the pill, examined it carefully, and found nothing unusual. She then swallowed it in one gulp. The pill melted instantly in her mouth, and a warm current flowed through her entire body, relieving the pain in her back considerably.

"Thank you very much," Feng Qingxue said sincerely.

Bai Ze smiled slightly, "Miss, you don't need to be so polite."

He turned to look at Lu Lingxi Yao, who was standing to the side, and asked, "Young lady, what is your name?"

"My name is Lu Lingxi Yao," Lu Lingxi Yao replied, secretly glancing at Bai Ze and inwardly admiring him: What a handsome young man, much better than those modern pretty boys.

"Miss Lu Ling, how did you accidentally stumble into Peach Blossom Spring?" Bai Ze asked.

Lu Lingxi nodded and briefly recounted how they had traveled through the white light to get here.

After listening, Bai Ze nodded thoughtfully, "It seems that the two young ladies' experiences are somewhat similar to mine. I was also swept into this place by an inexplicable force, and I still don't know how to leave."

Upon hearing this, Feng Qingxue's heart stirred. "Young Master Bai Ze, are you familiar with this place? Is there really no way to leave?"

Bai Ze shook his head. "I have been here for several months, but I still can't find the way out. This peach blossom forest looks peaceful and serene, but it is actually full of hidden dangers. I have personally seen many people who have mistakenly entered this place and eventually lost themselves in this sea of ​​flowers, leaving no trace of their bodies."

His words sent a chill down the spines of Lu Lingxi and Feng Qingxue. This Peach Blossom Spring was actually a place that devoured people?

Despite the pain in her back, Feng Qingxue asked, "Does Young Master know what dangers lurk in this peach blossom grove?"

Bai Ze sighed, "In addition to the maze in this peach blossom forest, there is also a poisonous gas called Peach Blossom Miasma. Inhaling too much of it can cause mental confusion and eventually lead to disorientation. Moreover, a kind of spirit beast called Peach Blossom Demon lives in the forest. They feed on human essence and are extremely ferocious."

"A peach blossom demon?" Lu Lingxi Yao couldn't help but shudder.

“That’s right,” Bai Ze said solemnly. “These peach blossom demons are powerful and extremely skilled at disguise. They can transform into beautiful women to lure people who have strayed into the peach blossom forest and then devour them.”

"Then how should we avoid these peach blossom demons?" Lu Lingxi asked nervously.

Bai Ze took out a jade pendant from his bosom and handed it to Lu Lingxi Yao. "This jade pendant can dispel peach blossom miasma and also deter peach blossom demons. If the two of you wear it close to your bodies, it may be of some help."

Lu Lingxi quickly took the jade pendant and carefully put it into her bosom. Suddenly, a sharp scream broke the tranquility of the peach blossom forest.

"Oh no, it's a peach blossom demon! Be careful, ladies!" Bai Ze's expression changed.

As soon as she finished speaking, a dark figure flew out from the depths of the peach blossom forest and rushed straight towards Feng Qingxue. The figure was extremely fast and arrived in front of her in the blink of an eye. She screamed in fright and instinctively closed her eyes.

At the critical moment, Lu Lingxi Yao suddenly pushed Feng Qingxue aside and stood in front of her.

"puff!"

With a muffled thud, the shadowy figure's sharp claws slammed into Lu Lingxi Yao's chest, instantly staining her clothes with blood.

Lu Lingxi let out a muffled groan, her body flying backward and crashing heavily to the ground.

"Yao Yao!" Feng Qingxue exclaimed and rushed to Lu Lingxi Yao's side.

Lu Lingxi's face was deathly pale, her lips were bloodless, and the wound on her chest was so deep that bone was visible, with blood gushing out.

"Damn it!" Bai Ze roared, a long sword suddenly appearing in his hand, its blade radiating a dazzling white light, pointing directly at the dark figure.

The dark figure let out a sharp screech, seemingly intimidated by Bai Ze's sword energy, and took a few steps back. It was enormous, resembling an ape, covered in thick black fur, with a pair of scarlet eyes flashing with bloodlust, and bared fangs dripping a nauseating green liquid.

It seemed wary of the longsword in Bai Ze's hand, yet the smell of blood fueled its ferocity, causing it to pace restlessly, searching for an opportunity to attack.

Bai Ze dared not attack rashly. He knew the cunning and cruelty of the Peach Blossom Demon and that he would fall into its trap if he was not careful. While keeping a watchful eye on the Peach Blossom Demon's movements, he also paid attention to Lu Lingxi Yao's injuries.

"Miss Feng, quickly bandage her wounds. Leave this beast to me!" Bai Ze said in a deep voice, his tone filled with unwavering determination.

Feng Qingxue nodded through her teary eyes, her hands trembling as she tore off a piece of fabric from her clothes and pressed it against Lu Lingxi Yao's wound, trying to stop the gushing blood.

"Yaoyao, hang in there, you'll be alright..." Feng Qingxue said, her voice filled with fear and helplessness.

Lu Lingxi opened her eyes slightly, her gaze somewhat unfocused. She struggled to raise her hand, trying to grasp Feng Qingxue's hand, but it fell limply to her side.

"Xiaoxue, I have some medicine to stop bleeding and heal wounds in my bosom. Take it out and give it to me." With just this short sentence, Lu Lingxi Yao used almost all her strength.

Upon hearing this, Feng Qingxue hurriedly reached into Lu Lingxi Yao's bosom, found the pill, and quickly fed it to Lu Lingxi Yao. After a moment, a soft light emanated from Lu Lingxi Yao's wound, and the bleeding gradually stopped.

"Yaoyao, how are you feeling?" Feng Qingxue asked anxiously.

Lu Lingxi smiled weakly, "Much better, Xiaoxue."

Just then, the peach blossom demon seemed to have found an opportunity to attack. It let out a deafening roar and pounced on Bai Ze again. It was agile and swift, its sharp claws waving and bringing with them gusts of foul wind.

Bai Ze dared not be careless and quickly swung his sword to meet the attack. The snow-white sword light sliced ​​through the air and collided with the Peach Blossom Demon's claws, producing a piercing metallic clang.

A human and a demon engaged in a fierce battle in the peach blossom forest. Swords flashed, demonic energy filled the air, and petals fluttered down, creating a poignant dance of death.

Although Bai Ze possessed profound cultivation, the Peach Blossom Demon was no ordinary being. It had thick skin, immense strength, and extremely fast speed, and Bai Ze was unable to subdue it for a time.

In the midst of the fierce battle, Bai Ze was careless and his arm was slashed by the Peach Blossom Demon's sharp claws. Blood flowed down the wound, staining his sleeves red.

"Young Master Bai Ze!" Feng Qingxue exclaimed in surprise, her heart filled with even greater worry.

Seeing that Bai Ze was injured, the Peach Blossom Demon's aura surged, and her attacks became even more ferocious, each move deadly. Bai Ze fought and retreated, gradually falling into a disadvantageous position.

At this critical moment, a powerful force suddenly surged from Feng Qingxue's body, and a burst of blazing flames erupted from her, enveloping her entirely. The flames burned fiercely like a phoenix rising from the ashes, illuminating the entire peach blossom forest.

"Chirp—"

A clear phoenix cry resounded through the sky, shaking the mountains and forests. The peach blossom demon's attack came to an abrupt halt. It seemed to sense the power of this force, and a trace of fear flashed in its eyes.

This sudden turn of events stunned everyone. Bai Ze and Lu Lingxi looked at Feng Qingxue in astonishment, their eyes filled with disbelief.

As the flames subsided, Feng Qingxue's figure was revealed. She was dressed in red, and her originally cold face now carried a hint of majesty, like a phoenix reborn from the ashes. Behind her, a huge phoenix phantom faintly appeared, radiating dazzling light.

“Miss Feng…” Bai Ze murmured, his eyes filled with shock and doubt. Feng Qingxue had actually displayed such powerful strength.

Feng Qingxue slowly opened her eyes, her gaze falling on the peach blossom demon. A cold light flashed in her eyes. She slowly raised her right hand, and a ball of blazing flame condensed in her palm.

"You beast, prepare to die!" Feng Qingxue shouted coldly, and the flames in her palm transformed into a fire dragon, roaring as it pounced towards the Peach Blossom Demon.

The peach blossom demon let out a terrified roar, trying to escape, but it was too late. The fire dragon instantly devoured it, and its body burst into flames. "Ah—" the peach blossom demon screamed in agony, struggling and writhing in the flames before finally turning to ashes.

Feng Qingxue withdrew her right hand, and the flames on her body disappeared. Her face was slightly pale, obviously the attack had consumed a lot of her spiritual power.

"Xiaoxue, are you alright?" Lu Lingxi asked with concern, walking over to her side and supporting her shoulder.

Feng Qingxue shook her head, forcing a smile, "I'm fine, just a little exhausted."

Feng Qingxue turned to look at Bai Ze, a complex expression flashing in her eyes, "Brother Bai Ze, your injury..."

Bai Ze looked down at the wound on his arm. It had stopped bleeding, but it still hurt a little. He shook his head and said, "I'm fine, it's just a minor injury."

Feng Qingxue was about to say something when her expression suddenly changed. She clutched her chest and let out a muffled groan.

"Phoenix Girl/Xiaoxue!" Bai Ze and Lu Lingxi exclaimed at the same time.

Feng Qingxue swayed and almost fell. Lu Lingxiyao quickly steadied her and asked with concern, "Qingxue, what's wrong?"

Feng Qingxue's face was pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She bit her lip, enduring the pain, and said, "I...it feels like something inside me is trying to burst out..."

As soon as she finished speaking, raging flames erupted once more from Feng Qingxue's body, even hotter and more dazzling than before. A loud phoenix cry resounded through the sky, and a huge phoenix phantom soared from her body, circling in the air and emitting a series of clear cries...

Feng Qingxue closed her eyes tightly, clenched her teeth, and large beads of sweat rolled down her forehead. The flames on her body grew stronger and stronger, and the surrounding temperature rose higher and higher.

Bai Ze cried out anxiously, "Miss Lu Ling, think of something quickly! Miss Feng... she seems to be about to collapse!"

Lu Lingxi forced herself to calm down and quickly analyzed the situation. Feng Qingxue's situation was obviously related to the Phoenix Inheritance, and the awakening of the Phoenix Inheritance was usually accompanied by huge risks. If not handled properly, it could endanger her life.

Lu Lingxi shouted, "Water! We need water, lots of clean water!"

Bai Ze immediately understood what she meant. He quickly ran to a nearby stream, used his spiritual power to condense a huge water ball, and threw it towards Feng Qingxue.

The water sphere hissed as it came into contact with the flames, turning into a large amount of steam. However, this did not weaken the flames at all; on the contrary, it seemed to add fuel to the fire, making the flames burn even more fiercely.

Bai Ze cried out in despair, "It's no use! Ordinary water can't extinguish the Phoenix Flame!"

Lu Lingxi gritted her teeth. She knew that she had no choice but to take the risk. She sat cross-legged, formed hand seals, mobilized all her spiritual power, and chanted incantations. As she chanted, the surrounding air began to flow, and gusts of icy cold air emanated from her body, quickly spreading towards Feng Qingxue.

The collision of ice and fire generated a huge energy fluctuation, which shook the surrounding trees and caused leaves to fall.

The flames on Feng Qingxue's body gradually weakened, replaced by a thin layer of frost. However, this layer of frost was unstable, as if it would shatter at any moment.

Just then, Feng Qingxue suddenly opened her eyes. Her eyes turned into a dazzling gold, like two burning suns, radiating a light that made people afraid to look directly at her.

"I...I'm fine..." she said weakly, but her voice was unusually clear and melodious, like a wind chime.

Bai Ze and Lu Lingxi Yao both breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. It seemed that Feng Qingxue had successfully integrated the Phoenix inheritance.

However, in the instant they lowered their guard, a sudden change occurred. Feng Qingxue's body was engulfed in flames again, even hotter and more dazzling than before. She let out a painful groan, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Bai Ze exclaimed, "What happened?"

Lu Lingxi also felt strange. She carefully observed Feng Qingxue's condition and found that the fluctuations of spiritual energy in her body were abnormally chaotic, as if something was vying for control of her.

Suddenly, Feng Qingxue let out a sharp roar, and her body began to change. Her skin gradually turned crimson, and her fingernails became sharp and pointed, like eagle claws.

Lu Lingxi Yao cried out in alarm, "Oh no! She's about to transform into human form! Stop her!"

However, it was all too late. Feng Qingxue's body had already completely transformed into the form of a phoenix. A huge fire phoenix spread its wings and soared into the sky from the raging flames, letting out a loud phoenix cry.

Bai Ze and Lu Lingxi could only watch helplessly as Feng Qingxue left, their hearts filled with worry and unease. They didn't know where Feng Qingxue had gone, or when she would return.

Just then, a chilling voice rang in their ears: "Heh, it seems my plan has succeeded..."
