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

He crouched down, meeting Lu Lingxi's gaze, his eyes lingering on her as if assessing her worth.

Why should I save you?

Lu Lingxi took a deep breath, enduring the pain, and slowly said, "I can feel that you are injured, and your injuries are more serious than mine. Although they will not be fatal immediately, if you do not receive treatment in time, you may not live much longer. In exchange, I will treat you, and you will take me away from here."

Upon hearing this, the man's pupils contracted sharply. He had not expected that his injuries could be so easily seen through by a mere mortal girl.

Almost instinctively, he reached out and pinched Lu Lingxi's delicate chin with his fingertips. "Why should I believe you?"

Lu Lingxi did not struggle, but instead met his scrutinizing gaze. "I can tell you're injured just by looking at you. Although I'm not confident I can heal you, I can at least help stabilize your condition. In the future, I will definitely find a way to heal you."

A complex light flashed in the man's eyes, a mixture of surprise and doubt. This girl in front of him might be his only hope.

Back then, in order to seize power, Uncle Wang not only killed his father and mother, but also stabbed him with the "Netherworld Soul-Splitting Blade" on his escape. This divine weapon was not only extremely sharp, but also contained terrifying power that could tear apart souls and twist fate.

As the blade pierced his chest, an indescribable dark energy surged into his body, like thousands of venomous snakes wreaking havoc in his blood, corroding every inch of his skin and every wisp of his demonic essence.

Black blood flowed from the wound, followed by rings of deep, night-like black lines.

Since then, he has been tormented by pain. Over the years, he has been building up his own power while traveling to various continents in search of a cure, but all his efforts seem to have been in vain.

The wounds left by the Netherworld Soul-Splitting Blade were not merely physical injuries, but also a brand deep within his soul. It constantly eroded his will, causing his power to weaken day by day, while the black aura, like a venomous snake, was also corroding his internal organs.

He thought he had hidden it well, but little did he know... He tightened his grip slightly, his tone carrying an undeniable threat, "If you dare to lie to me, I'll make you pay a price worse than death!"

"Since I dare to say this, I naturally have my reasons, but whether you believe me or not is entirely up to you."

The man said nothing more, his movements gentle yet powerful. He slowly picked up Lu Lingxi Yao and turned to leave.

However, Ye Zigui's figure had already quietly approached, his tone carrying a threat that could not be underestimated, "You want to take her away, but you haven't even asked me for my consent yet?"

The man's lips curled into a cold, indifferent smile. He didn't stop walking, but simply turned his head slightly and cast a sharp glance at Ye Zigui.

"Space, torn apart!"

As his deep and powerful voice fell, a strange fluctuation suddenly appeared in the air, and Ye Zigui's body vanished without a trace, as if he had never existed.

Ling Xiyao was deeply shocked by this scene. Her eyes widened in disbelief. She had never seen such a terrifying and mysterious power, let alone expected that this man would have such astonishing strength. She felt a mix of emotions and unease, and began to wonder whether the deal she made with him was a blessing from fate or another unknown adventure.

After the man led Lu Lingxi out of the Phantom Forest, he found a secluded cave and gently placed her on a dry, flat rock inside.

She quickly took out a crystal-clear, top-grade fourth-rank recovery pill from her spatial storage, which emitted a faint medicinal fragrance. She put it into her mouth, and the pill melted instantly upon entering her mouth. A warm and powerful medicinal force flowed to her limbs and bones in an instant.

She closed her eyes, sat cross-legged, gently placed her hands together at her dantian, and began to mobilize the weak spiritual energy within her body, working in conjunction with the medicinal power to carefully regulate her damaged internal organs.

As time slowly passed, the only sounds inside the cave were the two people's soft breathing.

Lu Lingxi's face, which had been pale due to her serious injuries, gradually regained its color under her care.

Seeing that Lu Lingxi Yao had improved, the man's cold voice rang in her ear, "When will you treat me!"

Lu Lingxi looked at the man, her eyes meeting his, then she lowered her gaze, avoiding his captivating face that could make any woman's heart flutter, afraid that if she looked at him any longer, she would fall deeply in love.

"Please give me some time..."

Upon hearing this, the man's lips curled into a meaningful smile. He slowly rose, his steps elegant, and finally sat down gently beside her. The two were so close that they could feel the subtle changes in each other's breathing. At that moment, an indescribable tension filled the air.

If his initial approach to Lu Lingxi was merely to obtain the healing method, he now finds himself deeply attracted to this seemingly fragile yet resilient young girl.

Despite her young age, she possessed extraordinary calmness and rationality. Her composure in the face of adversity impressed him greatly. Her deliberate distance from him did not offend him; instead, it fueled his curiosity and desire to explore her inner world.

In that subtle moment, he seemed to be drawn by some invisible force, his body unconsciously leaning forward slightly, forming a subtle encirclement.

He gently placed his hands on either side of Lu Lingxi, his gaze fixed on her delicate face, a wicked smile playing on his lips. "If that's the case, then I'll have to change my mind."

The man's voice, like a beautiful melody, gently brushed past Lu Lingxi's ears, making her heart beat faster involuntarily, as if even her breathing became rapid.

She met his gaze. His deep eyes were like an endless universe, mysterious and frightening. A wicked smile played on his lips, like the most cunning breeze in spring, gently brushed across her heart, leaving ripples.

She involuntarily shrank back, her cheeks flushed slightly from the heat, like a newly blossoming peach blossom, delicate and tender.

"What are you trying to do? I'm still a minor."

Upon hearing this, his expression changed slightly. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a deeper smile.

"Ha--So what?"

Then, he slowly lowered his head, closing the distance silently until their breaths mingled.

With an almost gentle yet irresistible force, he lightly kissed her slightly cool pink lips.

Lu Lingxi's pupils suddenly dilated, her chest heaved violently, and she raised her right hand, waving it at the man's ambiguous smiling face in front of her.

Soon, a large and strong hand accurately grasped her wrist. The warmth of that hand penetrated her skin, warm and dry, as if it could absorb all the coldness around her, yet it made her feel a strange numbness and powerlessness. She struggled a few times, but found that she could not break free.

The man slowly stood up, his gaze falling on her lips, which were even more luscious with anger, where the traces of his light kiss still lingered.

A playful smile played on his lips, and his tongue unconsciously licked his lips, as if savoring the sweetness and the thrill of conquest of that moment.

"Yeah, it tastes good."

Flames seemed to burn in Lu Lingxi Yao's eyes, her sharp gaze like a razor-sharp blade, filled with anger.

"You! You shameless scoundrel, I'm going to kill you!"

The man simply chuckled and said dismissively, "Oh? Is that so?" He leaned slightly closer to her ear, his deep voice ringing out, "Then I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. With your current abilities, you can't even scratch a hair on my head, let alone hurt me."

As he spoke, he slowly released her hand, as if everything was under his control.

Lu Lingxi stared at him calmly, her eyes filled with stubbornness. "I know I don't have the ability to kill you now, but that doesn't mean I won't in the future! You just wait!"

The man smiled indulgently and handed her a jade bottle. "This bottle of Grade 8 Restoration Pills is far more potent than your Grade 4 Recovery Pills."

"Hmph! I don't need your pity or charity. My wounds will heal themselves. What you give me, even if it's the rarest treasures, means nothing to me."

Upon hearing this, the man was not angry at all. Instead, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes, and he chuckled.

"What an ambitious girl! I admire your pride. However, sometimes accepting help doesn't mean weakness, but rather a way to move forward better."

"But you should know that I never take back what I give away. I also believe that one day you will have enough power to come and take my life yourself. So, obediently accept this medicine?"

In the dark cave, his eyes sparkled, alluring and captivating. His smile, unrestrained yet tinged with a wicked charm, was like a demon from the deep mountains, effortlessly absorbing all the colors and brilliance of the world, making everything around him pale in comparison. Only he became the most dazzling presence in this world.

"I will come back to you again," he said with such certainty, as if they were already bound by an inextricable bond.

His next words were filled with undeniable domineering and possessiveness: "That kiss just now is my mark on you. If you dare let another man touch you, I will kill him, and then I will kill you!"

As he finished speaking, the man's figure flashed and disappeared instantly from the cave entrance, leaving only an elusive afterimage.

However, just as he was about to completely disappear from sight, that magnetic voice seemed to transcend the barriers of time and space, echoing once again in Lu Lingxi's ears, clear and firm.

"My name is Nalan Rongzhi, don't forget!"

Lu Lingxi wiped her lips, her eyes turning cold. "Never before has a man dared to cross my boundaries at such close range, let alone do something so frivolous."

She secretly vowed that she would settle this score with him sooner or later!
