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

Lu Lingyuntian and Lu Lingguihong sat in the main seats, looking at the Demon Lord opposite them, who was unbelievably handsome, had a suffocatingly powerful aura, and claimed to be their beloved granddaughter/sister's fiancé. Their feelings were extremely complicated.

After the initial shock came deep worry. How could Yao Yao have gotten involved with the Demon Lord? The Demon Clan and the Human Clan have always been at odds. Could this relationship possibly have a good ending? Moreover, it seems that this Demon Lord is still vying for the throne. Wouldn't it be extremely dangerous for Yao Yao to follow him?

Nalan Rongzhi seemed to see through their thoughts and took the initiative to speak, "Grandpa, Big Brother, please rest assured, Yao Yao is fine. With me here, I will never let her get hurt."

Lu Linggui Hong frowned and couldn't help but ask, "You... are you really the Demon Lord? Then what about you and Yao Yao...?"

“Yaoyao and I have long been engaged, and our love will last a lifetime.” Nalan Rongzhi looked at Lu Lingguihong with a clear and open expression. “As for the matter of the Demon Realm, I will handle it well. Once everything is settled, I will personally propose marriage to you.”

Proposing marriage? Lu Lingguihong's lips twitched. Looking at the "brother-in-law" in front of him, who was a few years younger than him (in appearance) but was already the supreme ruler of the Demon Realm with unfathomable strength, he felt that his worldview had been severely impacted.

Lu Lingyun, being a mature and composed man, took a deep breath and asked, "Rong Zhi... did Yao Yao send you?"

Nalan Rongzhi shook his head. Yao Yao had exhausted too much spiritual energy to refine the antidote pill for him and was still unconscious. If he told them about this, they would definitely worry about Yao Yao, and Yao Yao would certainly not let him do so. So he told a white lie.

"Yaoyao is currently in seclusion refining an extremely important elixir and is unaware of this matter. I received news that Nalan Rongshang is colluding with Heiyuan to harm you, so I came to provide support."

Hearing that Lu Lingxi was in seclusion refining pills, Lu Lingyuntian and Lu Lingguihong felt a little relieved, at least proving that she was currently safe. However, the thought that Yaoyao was in seclusion to refine pills for this Demon Lord still left them with a bad feeling.

“Then Nalan Rongshang and Heiyuan…” Lu Lingguihong said worriedly, “They probably won’t let this defeat go so easily.”

“It’s alright.” A cold glint flashed in Nalan Rongzhi’s eyes. “They’re just clowns, nothing to fear. I’ve left some elite troops to guard Yanjing, so they won’t dare to come again anytime soon. Once Yao Yao comes out of seclusion, I will personally deal with these troubles.”

His words were filled with strong confidence, which reassured Lu Lingyuntian and Lu Lingguihong somewhat.

Just then, Zisang Gucheng also arrived at Lu Ling's residence. He looked at Nalan Rongzhi with a very strange expression, as if he were looking at a monster.

“Xinglan… oh no, Demon Lord.” Zisang Gucheng coughed lightly to cover his discomfort. “The academy is all settled now, thanks to your timely arrival.”

Nalan Rongzhi nodded slightly, "Master, you are too kind. I have concealed much of what happened back then, and I hope you will forgive me."

"Sigh, never mind." Zisang Gucheng waved his hand. "As long as you're not here to harm the mainland, that's fine. But you've been hiding it really well! Yao Yao... did she already know?"

Nalan Rongzhi nodded.

Zisang Gucheng immediately glared and bristled, "Fine! You two teamed up to fool this old man!" But there wasn't much anger in his eyes, instead, there was a hint of amusement and... a hidden pride. After all, these two disciples were both incredibly talented.

The group talked for a while longer, mainly as Nalan Rongzhi briefly explained his situation with Lu Lingxi and Yao, as well as the situation in the Demon Realm. Although Nalan Rongzhi spoke lightly, Lu Lingyun and the others could still sense the danger in his words.

“Rong Zhi, you’ve brought troops here to provide support this time. What about the Demon Realm…” Lu Lingyun asked worriedly.

“Aunt Qianluo will manage the Demon Realm for now, that’s fine,” Nalan Rongzhi said. “I will return immediately once things are settled here.”

Having confirmed the safety of Yanjing City and met with Lu Lingxi Yao's family and master, Nalan Rongzhi did not linger. He left behind enough elite demons and some means of communication, and then led the main force back to the Demon Realm through the spatial passage.

After all, Lu Lingxi Yao was still waiting for him, and there were still many matters in the Demon Realm that needed his attention.

After Nalan Rongzhi left, the atmosphere at Lu Ling Mansion and Holy Spirit Academy finally eased, but the explosive news that "Lu Lingxi Yao's fiancé is the Demon Lord" still caused a huge uproar in a small circle.

Lu Lingyuntian, Lu Lingguihong, and Zisang Gucheng gathered together and discussed for a long time.

“It’s too late for us to worry now that things have come to this.” Lu Lingyun sighed. “Yaoyao is a very stubborn child. Once she has made up her mind, no one can change it. Besides, Nalan Rongzhi is truly sincere towards Yaoyao and is so powerful. Perhaps… it’s not such a bad thing.”

“But Grandpa, the Demon Clan…” Lu Lingguihong was still a little worried.

"So what if he's a demon?" Zisang Gucheng snorted. "Although that kid is cold and aloof, he's still quite upright. At least he helped us this time. Besides, is Yao Yao the type to suffer a loss? Anyone who dares to bully her will be torn to pieces!"

Ultimately, the three reached an agreement: to respect Lu Lingxi Yao's choice, to wait and see, and at the same time, to strengthen their own abilities, so that they could not always rely on Yao Yao and... that Demon Lord brother-in-law/disciple for protection.

In the Demon Realm, after returning to Jiuyou City, Nalan Rongzhi immediately threw himself into busy affairs. Although the auspicious signs brought a brief period of peace and vitality to the Demon Realm, the threat from Nalan Rongshang and Heiyuan remained, and he had to stabilize the situation as soon as possible.

He placed the unconscious Lu Lingxi Yao on the most comfortable bed in his palace and guarded her day and night. He held her hand, feeling her weak but steady breathing, and his heart was filled with peace.

He took out the Nine-Turn Reversal Soul Pill. The pill emitted a soft halo and a strange fragrance. The immense energy contained within it made him feel shocked. This was the hope that Yao Yao had desperately refined for him.

But he didn't take it immediately. He was waiting for Yao Yao to wake up. He wanted her to see with her own eyes the moment he removed the demonic poison.

As time passed, under Nalan Rongzhi's meticulous care, Lu Lingxi's pale complexion gradually regained its rosy hue, and her weak breathing gradually became steady and long. Youming and Anye also slowly recovered their vitality with the precious resources provided by Nalan Rongzhi.

Finally, after being in a coma for seven days, Lu Lingxi Yao's long eyelashes trembled a few times, and she slowly opened her eyes.

What came into view was Nalan Rongzhi's handsome face, which was full of concern and tenderness.

“Rong Zhi…” Her voice was still a little hoarse.

"Yaoyao, you're awake!" Nalan Rongzhi grasped her hand tightly in surprise, his eyes filled with undisguised excitement. "How are you feeling? Is anything bothering you?"

Lu Lingxi shook her head, feeling the spiritual energy within her body, which was empty but slowly recovering, and smiled slightly, "I'm fine... Where are the pills?"

Nalan Rongzhi quickly took out the jade box, opened it, and handed the radiant divine pill to her. "Here it is, Yao Yao. You have succeeded."

Looking at the pill that embodied her countless efforts, Lu Lingxi Yao felt a sense of accomplishment. She looked at Nalan Rongzhi with gentle eyes and said, "Rongzhi, take it."

Nalan Rongzhi looked at her intently, nodded, picked up the Nine-Turn Reversal Soul Pill, and swallowed it without hesitation.
