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

The following morning, a biting wind blew.

Bing Qingyun arrived at the courtyard early, a hint of nervousness on her delicate face. She urged, "The three of you, it's time for us to set off."

Throughout the journey, Bing Qingyun remained silent, only occasionally turning back to observe the three people's reactions. Her eyes flickered with a complex light, as if she were expecting something, or perhaps worried about something.

"The area ahead is where the ice beast roams," Bing Qingyun stopped and pointed to a frozen canyon in the distance, her voice trembling slightly. "It's there, that monster that has been sleeping for thousands of years."

Lu Lingxi's gaze sharpened as she felt a powerful chill emanating from the depths of the canyon, as if it were about to freeze everything.

The chill was so strong that it made her heart tremble. Nalan Rongzhi noticed her unease, held her hand tightly, and silently conveyed his strength, as if to say, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Suddenly, a deafening roar resounded through the sky, shaking everyone to their core. A colossal ancient ice beast burst forth from the canyon. Its entire body was ice-blue, resembling a giant bear, but it possessed four wings. This was the ancient ice beast—the Ice Soul Giant Bear.

"Watch out!" Nalan Rongzhi roared, pulling Lu Lingxi Yao aside and narrowly dodging the icy breath exhaled by the Ice Soul Giant Bear. Wherever the icy breath passed, everything was instantly frozen, demonstrating its terrifying power.

A strange light flashed in Xin Lanyun's eyes. He keenly noticed Bing Qingyun quietly retreating, and a strange smile appeared on his lips, a smile full of the pleasure of a successful conspiracy.

Xiao Jiu whispered on his shoulder, her voice tinged with sarcasm: "Just as I thought, I knew this woman had no good intentions."

Lu Lingxi Yao unleashed all her spiritual power, and multicolored light flowed around her. Nalan Rongzhi released his demonic power, and black demonic energy swirled around him. Xin Lanyun Ge held a folding fan and kept a close eye on the ice beast's every move. The three of them formed a combined attack stance, preparing to face this fierce battle.

However, just as they were locked in fierce combat with the Ice Soul Giant Bear, a cold light shot out from afar, as fast as lightning, aiming straight for Lu Lingxi Yao's vitals. She reacted quickly and shattered the hidden weapon with a single palm strike.

At this moment, dozens of Ice Spirit Clan experts suddenly appeared from all around the canyon. Bing Qingyun stood among them and said coldly, "Excuse me, as long as we get rid of this Ice Soul Giant Bear, the Ice Soul inside its body will belong to our clan. As for you, you will probably have to stay here forever."

"What a clever scheme." Xin Lanyunge remained calm and composed; Xiao Jiu had already quietly disappeared.

A cold glint flashed in Lu Lingxi's eyes: "Since that's the case, then don't blame us for being impolite."

Nalan Rongzhi shielded Lu Lingxi Yao behind him, saying, "If you want to touch her, you'll have to get past me first."

Bing Qingyun sneered: "Overestimating yourself! Make your move!"

Dozens of Ice Spirit Clan experts attacked simultaneously, unleashing a barrage of ice blades and cones like a torrential downpour. The Ice Soul Giant Bear also seized the opportunity to launch its attack, its massive paws carrying a chilling wind as it slammed down on Nalan Rongzhi.

"Rong Zhi, be careful!" Lu Lingxi Yao whispered, her spiritual power surging in her hands, transforming into a huge fiery shield that blocked the giant bear's attack.

Nalan Rongzhi dodged the Ice Spirit Clan's attack with a flash, and brandished his long sword. Although the Ice Spirit Clan experts were numerous, their strength varied greatly, and several of them quickly fell.

Lu Lingxi was not to be outdone. She formed hand seals and chanted incantations. Five-colored spiritual energy swirled around her and eventually transformed into a huge fire dragon, roaring as it charged towards the Ice Spirit Clan expert. Wherever the fire dragon passed, the ice and snow melted, leaving behind charred marks.

In an instant, ice and fire mingled within the frozen canyon, and the shouts of battle shook the heavens.

Xin Lanyunge's figure darted across the battlefield. He seemed to casually wave his folding fan, but he always managed to deflect the attacks of the Ice Spirit Clan experts at crucial moments. He could even "help" the Ice Soul Giant Bear, making its attacks more "precise" on the Ice Spirit Clan members. A playful smile played on his lips, as if it were all just a game.

Seeing the heavy casualties on her side, Bing Qingyun's face grew increasingly gloomy. Suddenly, she raised her hands and chanted an obscure incantation.

As the incantation was chanted, the ice above the canyon began to tremble violently, and countless ice spikes fell from the sky, aimed directly at Lu Lingxi Yao and Nalan Rongzhi.

"Be careful!" Xin Lanyunge's voice rang out in the wind and snow. He flashed and appeared beside Lu Lingxiyao. With a wave of his folding fan, an invisible barrier protected the two of them.

"boom!"

The ice spikes slammed into the barrier with a deafening roar, causing the barrier to tremble violently, but ultimately withstood the attack.

"Xin Lanyunge, what do you mean?" Bing Qingyun shouted angrily.

Xin Lanyunge chuckled lightly, "It's nothing special, I just find this game getting more and more interesting." He turned to look at Lu Lingxi, a strange light flashing in his eyes, "Miss Lu Ling, how about we join forces? Let's deal with these troublesome guys first, and then slowly discuss the ownership of the Ice Soul."

Lu Lingxi gave him a deep look, but before she could speak, Nalan Rongzhi said coldly, "No need. I will protect my woman myself." His demonic energy surged, and the long sword in his hand transformed into a black lightning bolt, heading straight for Bing Qingyun.

Just then, the Ice Soul Giant Bear, which had been surrounded and attacked by the three of them, suddenly let out a deafening roar. Its body rapidly expanded, and a violent energy wave emanated from its body, making it almost impossible for everyone to breathe.

"Self-destruct? Ha, that saves you trouble."

Lu Lingxi remained expressionless, her tone carrying a hint of coldness. A glint of light flashed in her dark eyes, and a golden pill quietly appeared in her hand. This pill was called the "Heart Protection Pill," which could withstand powerful impacts.

Nalan Rongzhi withdrew his sword from Bing Qingyun, and in a flash, he appeared beside Lu Lingxi Yao, protecting her behind him. His demonic energy surged, forming a black barrier that enveloped the two of them.

"Yaoyao, just take what you want, and leave the rest to me." His deep voice carried an undeniable domineering authority.

Lu Lingxi nodded, swallowed the Heart-Protecting Pill, and at the same time made a hand seal. A pale golden light flowed around her, forming a protective shield.

Xin Lanyunge and Xiao Jiu reacted quickly. Xin Lanyunge waved his folding fan, and a cyan spiritual energy formed a barrier around him and Xiao Jiu.

"Xiao Jiu, hold on tight to me!" he said in a deep voice.

Xiao Jiu's snow-white fur stood on end as it warily watched the Ice Soul Giant Bear that was about to self-destruct, nestled tightly against Xin Lan Yun Ge's side.

Bing Qingyun's face turned pale. She hadn't expected the Ice Soul Giant Bear to choose to self-destruct. Her original plan was to seize the Ice Soul from the bear's body while everyone was fighting it, and then escape unscathed. Now it seemed that her plan had completely failed. She gritted her teeth and summoned an ice-blue shield to protect herself firmly within it.

"Rumble--"

The Ice Soul Giant Bear let out a final, deafening roar, its massive body exploding with explosive force, unleashing a torrent of violent energy that instantly engulfed the entire canyon.

The black demonic energy barrier, the golden protective shield, the cyan spiritual energy barrier, and the ice-blue protective shield all appeared so fragile under the impact of this destructive energy.

The aftershocks of the explosion lingered for a long time, and the canyon was filled with a pungent smell of blood. When everything finally settled, the canyon's landscape had been completely transformed. The once flat ground had been blasted into a huge crater, and most of the surrounding glaciers had collapsed.

Lu Lingxi and Nalan Rongzhi survived the explosion thanks to their double protection, though their clothes were disheveled and their faces were slightly pale.

Xin Lanyunge and Xiao Jiu were also unharmed, but their shields were broken and their expressions were rather grim.

Bing Qingyun was in the worst condition. Her shield had already shattered, and she was blasted away, crashing heavily onto the edge of the pit. Blood gushed from her mouth, and she was barely breathing.

Lu Lingxi Yao coldly swept her gaze over the disheveled crowd, her heart unmoved. Her purpose in coming here was to find the Pure World Lotus and the Profound Ice Snow Lotus. The lives and deaths of these people were none of her concern. Now that the Ice Beast and the Ice Spirit Clan were dead, no one could threaten them anymore.
