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

Chapter 338 First Arrival in the Demon Realm 2

As night fell, the city of Demon Abyss was already dimly lit. Lu Lingxi sighed softly, grabbed Youming who was running around aimlessly, and looked at him with a hint of helplessness in her eyes. If she hadn't reacted quickly, she would have almost lost him.

"Alright, Youming, let's find a place to stay first. What if we get separated if you keep running around like this?"

"Oh dear, Master, this is Demon Abyss City, the safest place imaginable. Who would dare to cause trouble here?" Youming waved his hand dismissively, but still obediently followed Lu Lingxi Yao, his eyes darting around as if trying to take in everything in the Demon Realm.

Lu Lingxi shook her head helplessly, her gaze sweeping across the street before finally settling on a simple and elegant building not far away, where two red lanterns swayed in the night, emitting a soft and warm glow.

"Let's go, there seems to be an inn over there." Lu Lingxi pointed ahead.

Youming naturally had no objections, and followed Lu Lingxi Yao happily, not forgetting to turn back and call out to the roadside vendor, "Boss, save your barbecue for me, I'll come back to buy it later!"

Lu Lingxi couldn't help but facepalm. This guy really does eat wherever he goes.

The inn was named "Drunken Immortal Pavilion." Although the name was a bit vulgar, it was clean and tidy. The innkeeper was a shrewd old man with eyes that seemed to see through people's hearts. However, Lu Lingxi didn't care. She was going to keep a low profile on this trip. As long as she didn't cause trouble, nothing else mattered.

"Gentlemen, would you like a meal or a room?" The innkeeper greeted them with a beaming smile as they entered.

"Two superior rooms, and prepare some wine and dishes to be delivered to the rooms," Lu Lingxi said calmly, her tone carrying an undeniable authority. Although the innkeeper was a demon, he sensed that this seemingly weak woman was no ordinary person, and thus became even more respectful.

"Alright, please come upstairs, gentlemen!" The innkeeper personally led Lu Lingxi and Youming to the second floor, pushed open the door to a room, which was elegantly and comfortably furnished, with a bustling street outside the window and a wide view.

Lu Lingxi was fairly satisfied with the room. She nodded and asked the innkeeper to prepare wine and dishes. She then sat by the window, looking at the bustling crowd outside, her mind filled with many thoughts.

"Master, what are you thinking about?" Youming asked indistinctly as he sat at the table, eating some grilled skewers.

"I'm thinking about how to find Nalan Rongzhi." Lu Lingxi sighed softly. Since Nalan Rongzhi's demonic poison relapsed, the two of them had been separated. Now that she had come to the Demon Realm, she was even more worried.

"Don't worry, Master. That guy is lucky and will be fine," Youming said nonchalantly, but there was a hint of worry in his voice. After all, Nalan Rongzhi was the master's man, and if something really happened to him, the master would be very sad.

Lu Lingxi didn't speak, but just quietly looked out the window. As the night deepened, the number of pedestrians on the street gradually decreased, with only a few lanterns emitting a faint light by the roadside.

Suddenly, Lu Lingxi Yao sensed a powerful aura approaching, and her eyes sharpened.

"What's wrong, Master?" Youming also sensed something was wrong and immediately stood up, looking warily toward the door.

"It's nothing, they're probably just passing experts, no need to be nervous," Lu Lingxi said calmly, but she dared not relax in the slightest.

The presence grew closer and closer, finally stopping at their room door, followed by a knock.

"Who?" Youming asked.

"Are you two distinguished guests from the Holy Spirit Continent?" A clear and melodious voice came from outside the door, with a hint of curiosity and amusement in its tone.

Lu Lingxi and Youming exchanged a glance, both feeling a sense of doubt. They had just arrived in the Demon Realm, so how could anyone know their identities?

Lu Lingxi Yao gestured for You Ming to open the door, while she herself remained on high alert, ready to deal with any unexpected situations.

Youming opened the door and saw a woman in a purple dress standing in the doorway. The woman was tall and slender with an exquisite face. Her phoenix eyes were sparkling, and her brows carried a hint of heroism. Her long, black hair was tied up with a purple ribbon, and she exuded an aura of nobility and danger.

"Who are you?" Youming looked the woman up and down, his eyes filled with wariness.

"I am Zi Yan, the young city lord of this Demon Abyss City." The woman smiled slightly, her tone carrying a hint of arrogance. "You two need not be nervous. I have no ill intentions. I am just curious about your identities, so I have come to pay you a visit."

"So you are the young city lord, my apologies." Lu Lingxi stood up from her seat, a polite smile on her face. "We are just travelers passing through, not distinguished guests. The young city lord is too kind."

"Travelers?" A hint of amusement flashed in Zi Yan's eyes. "You two have traveled all this way to the Demon Realm just for a trip? Could it be that the scenery of the Holy Spirit Continent is not as good as that of our Demon Realm?"

"The Demon Realm is beautiful and full of spiritual energy, naturally no less than the Holy Spirit Continent. It's just that we're used to traveling around and doing whatever we want, so we came here," Lu Lingxi said calmly, her tone neither humble nor arrogant.

"Is that so?" Zi Yan's gaze fell on Lu Lingxi Yao's right hand, or more precisely, on the Kunlun Ring on her right index finger. Although the Kunlun Ring had been concealed by Ling Shu, it still revealed a flaw in the eyes of an expert like Zi Yan.

"Young master, what are you wearing on your hand? It looks quite special." Zi Yan's lips curled into a playful smile as she stared intently at Lu Lingxi Yao.

Lu Lingxi felt a chill run down her spine, realizing that the Kunlun Ring might have been exposed, but she remained outwardly calm and simply said, "This is just an ordinary spatial ring, nothing special."

"Oh? Is that so?" Zi Yan was not about to let her off easily. She approached Lu Lingxi Yao step by step, her tone carrying a hint of pressure. "I like to collect strange and unusual things. If you are willing to part with them, I am willing to pay a high price to buy them."

Lu Lingxi took a step back without making a sound, avoiding Zi Yan's burning gaze, and said in a calm tone, "I'm sorry, this ring has a very special meaning to me, and I cannot transfer it."

"Of extraordinary significance?" A cold glint flashed in Zi Yan's eyes. "In that case, don't blame me for being impolite!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zi Yan flashed and instantly appeared in front of Lu Lingxi Yao, reaching out to grab her right hand.

Lu Lingxi was prepared and dodged to the side, avoiding Zi Yan's attack. At the same time, she drew her Azure Dragon Sword and a sharp sword aura shot straight at Zi Yan's face!

"Overestimating yourself!" Zi Yan sneered, and a purple whip suddenly appeared in her hand. She swung the whip like a snake emerging from its hole, instantly shattering Lu Lingxi Yao's sword energy.

"Amazing!" Lu Lingxi was shocked. Zi Yan's strength was actually no less than hers!

"Master, I'm here to help you!" Upon seeing this, Youming immediately transformed into a black shadow and pounced on Ziyan.

"Overestimating yourself!" A hint of disdain flashed in Zi Yan's eyes as she lashed out with her whip at You Ming.

Youming dared not take the attack head-on and could only dodge awkwardly, but Ziyan's attack speed was extremely fast, and he could not get close at all.

"Master, this guy is too powerful, what should we do?" Youming asked anxiously while dodging.

Lu Lingxi's eyes flickered, and a plan came to her mind. She deliberately feigned panic and stepped back, while whispering to Youming, "Youming, try to hold her off. I'll be right back!"

Although Youming didn't understand what Lu Lingxi was up to, he still carried out her orders without hesitation. He nimbly dodged Ziyan's attacks, shouting, "You stinky woman, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're pretty. I'm not someone to be trifled with!"

Zi Yan was so angry by his words that her face turned ashen, and her attacks became even more ferocious. The tables and chairs in the room were swept away by the strong wind of her long whip, leaving them in a mess.

Lu Lingxi took the opportunity to retreat to the window. She flipped her hand over, and a small jade talisman appeared in her palm. This jade talisman was given to her by the Medicine King back then. It could instantly teleport her to any place within a hundred miles. It was her last resort to save her life.

"Trying to run? Not so easy!" Zi Yan sensed Lu Lingxi Yao's intention, and with a flick of her whip, she aimed straight for Lu Lingxi Yao's back.

At the critical moment, Lu Lingxi Yao infused her spiritual power into the jade talisman, which immediately shone brightly, enveloping her and Youming within it.

"Oh no!" Zi Yan thought to herself, but it was too late to stop it.

With a flash of white light, Lu Lingxi and Youming disappeared from the room, leaving behind only a mess and Ziyan's angry roar.
