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

"He...he wasn't controlled by the demonic poison?" Nalan Hongyi clutched his chest, struggling to get up from the ground, his eyes filled with shock and fear.

Lu Lingxi was held tightly in Nalan Rongzhi's arms. She could feel the powerful demonic energy emanating from him, as well as his heart, which was beating wildly.

"Rong Zhi, where are you taking me?" Lu Lingxi asked, but she knew that Nalan Rong Zhi could no longer hear her voice.

Nalan Rongzhi carried Lu Lingxi Yao across the night sky and finally landed on a deserted mountain peak. He gently placed Lu Lingxi Yao on the ground, then turned his back to her, his body trembling slightly.

“Yaoyao…I’m sorry…” Nalan Rongzhi’s voice was filled with pain and self-blame.

Lu Lingxi Yao looked at Nalan Rongzhi's back, her heart filled with doubt and worry. She didn't know what had happened to him, nor did she know why he had brought her here.

"Rong Zhi, what's wrong with you?" Lu Lingxi asked.

Nalan Rongzhi slowly turned around, his face filled with pain and struggle, "Yaoyao...I...I am a demon..."

Lu Lingxi was stunned. Demon race? These two words exploded in her mind like a thunderbolt, leaving her momentarily speechless. She knew of the existence of the demon race and the long-standing grudges between the demon race and the human race, but she never imagined that the people closest to her would be demons.

However, after the initial shock, Lu Lingxi did not show the fear and disgust he had imagined. She simply looked at him quietly, her eyes devoid of any emotion, as if she had already anticipated it.

"So?" Lu Lingxi asked calmly, as if she were asking something unimportant.

Nalan Rongzhi's heart sank. He thought Lu Lingxi would be afraid, would stay away from him, or even... kill him, but she was so calm, which made him even more uneasy.

"Yaoyao, aren't you afraid of me?" His voice trembled, filled with disbelief.

Lu Lingxi chuckled softly, walked up to him, and reached out to touch his cold cheek. "Why should I be afraid of you? You are a demon, so what? In my eyes, you are my beloved Nalan Rongzhi, nothing more."

Nalan Rongzhi was stunned. He looked at Lu Lingxi Yao with complex emotions in his eyes. He didn't know how to express his feelings at this moment. Joy, emotion, guilt... all kinds of emotions were intertwined, making him almost suffocate.

He pulled Lu Lingxi into his arms and held her tightly. "Yaoyao, thank you..." His voice choked with emotion, carrying a barely perceptible sob.

Lu Lingxi gently patted his back and said softly, "Silly boy, we are the people we trust the most, aren't we?"

With Lu Lingxi's comforting words, Nalan Rongzhi's emotions gradually calmed down. He released Lu Lingxi, took a deep breath, and began to tell the secret he had kept hidden for many years.

“My father is the king of the demon race, but my uncle, Nalan Yi, coveted the throne. He colluded with outsiders to murder my parents and usurp the throne. I managed to escape, but I was poisoned by demonic energy and had to hide everywhere. Nalan Hongyi is my cousin, Nalan Yi's son, and he has been ordered to hunt me down…”

Nalan Rongzhi's voice was low and hoarse, filled with endless sorrow and hatred. He poured out all the suffering and humiliation he had endured over the years to Lu Lingxi Yao. He once thought that he would live in darkness forever, until he met Lu Lingxi Yao. She was like a ray of light that illuminated his gloomy life.

"Yaoyao, all I want now is to take back everything that belongs to me. I don't want the Demon Clan to fall into Nalan Yi's hands, and I don't want the Demon Clan to be destroyed..." Nalan Rongzhi's eyes burned with a raging fire, a fire of revenge and a determination to protect.

Lu Lingxi listened quietly. She could feel the pain and struggle in Nalan Rongzhi's heart. She knew that this path of revenge was destined to be full of thorns and dangers.

“Rong Zhi,” Lu Lingxi Yao grasped his hand, her tone firm, “No matter what you do, I will support you. I will always be by your side and face everything with you.”

Nalan Rongzhi looked at Lu Lingxi Yao with gratitude and love in his eyes. He knew that he was no longer alone because he had her.

Just then, a strange noise suddenly came from afar, breaking the tranquility of the mountaintop. Nalan Rongzhi's expression changed, and he immediately became alert.

"Someone's coming!" he whispered, a cold glint in his eyes.

Lu Lingxi also sensed the danger. She gripped the Flying Snow Sword tightly and prepared for battle.

“It seems Nalan Hongyi hasn’t given up on hunting you down,” Lu Lingxi said coldly. “In that case, let’s make sure they never return!”

Before the words were finished, dozens of dark figures darted out of the dense forest and surrounded the two. These people were all Nalan Hongyi's trusted bodyguards, each with extraordinary skills and a murderous aura.

"Kill!" The leader of the men in black gave the order, and the group attacked Lu Lingxi and Nalan Rongzhi in unison.

Lu Lingxi's long sword transformed into streaks of silver light. Wherever the sword energy passed, the men in black fell to the ground, their cries of agony filling the air. Her attacks were ruthless and merciless, each strike aimed directly at the enemy's vital points.

Nalan Rongzhi killed the approaching men in black one by one with just his bare hands. His moves were as fast as lightning and each strike was deadly. The men in black were as fragile as paper in front of him and were no match for him.

In less than fifteen minutes, dozens of men in black lay dead in pools of blood. The mountain wind howled, carrying a heavy, nauseating stench of blood.

Lu Lingxi sheathed her Snowflake Sword, her expression indifferent, as if the killing just now was a trivial matter. "Let's go, to the Golden Dragon Clan."

Nalan Rongzhi nodded slightly, a hint of doting in his eyes. He reached out and embraced Lu Lingxi Yao's slender waist. The two of them transformed into two streaks of light and disappeared from the mountaintop.
