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

Demon Abyss City, City Lord's Mansion.

Inside the luxurious bedchamber, Zi Yan irritably swept the priceless jewelry off the dressing table, making a clattering sound.

"Get out! All of you, get out!" she yelled at the maids.

Upon hearing this, the maids felt as if they had been granted a pardon. They hurriedly bowed and retreated without daring to linger for even a moment.

Only Zi Yan remained in the hall. Looking at her beautiful yet distorted face in the mirror, the resentment and jealousy in her heart gnawed at her like venomous snakes.

Ever since Nalan Rongzhi publicly reprimanded her at the gate of the Demon Palace in Nine Nether City and even told her to "get lost," she had been holding her breath and returned to Demon Abyss City.

She thought that, given her status as the young lord of Demon Abyss City and the bond she had shared with Nalan Rongzhi since childhood, he would surely send someone to apologize to her and coax her back once he calmed down.

However, no!

One day, two days, a month... Nalan Rongzhi seemed to have completely forgotten about her. He didn't even offer an apology or a greeting!

Later, she sent people to Nine Nether City to gather information, and the reports she received only fueled her jealousy, driving her to the brink of madness!

Not only did Nalan Rongzhi not remember her, but he stayed by the side of the woman named Lu Lingxi Yao day and night. It is said that the woman exhausted herself to make an antidote for Nalan Rongzhi and fell into a coma. Nalan Rongzhi took care of her without leaving her side, never taking off his clothes and being extremely gentle!

Why? What's so great about that woman? She's just a lowly woman from the human realm. Why does she deserve all of Rong Zhi's love and attention?

She, Zi Yan, is the young city lord of Demon Abyss City, a recognized beauty in the Demon Realm, and he grew up with her as his childhood sweetheart. In terms of status, beauty, and affection, how is she inferior to that outsider?

"Lu Lingxi Yao... Lu Lingxi Yao!" Zi Yan gritted her teeth as she uttered the name, as if she wanted to chew it up and swallow it. "I will never let you be so smug for long. Brother Rong Zhi is mine, and can only be mine!"

Intense jealousy and resentment made her beautiful face look somewhat ferocious. She had tried to find a solution, and she had even sent people to Nine Nether City to secretly deal with Lu Lingxi Yao, but Nalan Rongzhi had guarded the Demon Palace like an iron wall, and her people could not get close at all.

She had considered asking her father to put pressure on Nalan Rongzhi, but her father warned her not to act rashly, saying that Nalan Rongzhi was now powerful and not to be trifled with.

Is she just supposed to watch helplessly as that vixen steals Rong Zhi away?

Do not!She is not reconciled!

Just as Zi Yan was feeling distressed and on the verge of despair...

"Who is it?" Zi Yan asked impatiently when she heard the knocking.

"Young City Lord Ziyan, how have you been?" A voice with a hint of femininity and seduction came from outside the door.

Zi Yan frowned. The voice sounded familiar, but she couldn't quite place it. She went over and opened the door, where she saw a woman in a black dress, with stunningly beautiful features but a hint of sinister aura, standing there looking at her with a half-smile.

"It's you? The Saintess of the Black Abyss?" Zi Yan immediately recognized the person, a hint of wariness flashing in her eyes. "What brings you here?"

Hei Yuan has a terrible reputation in the Demon Realm. Although she is willful, she knows that it is no good to get involved with these people.

Lu Lingqingyue, however, paid no heed to her wariness and walked straight into the hall. Her gaze swept over the scattered jewels, and a knowing smile appeared on her lips. "It seems that the young city lord is not in a good mood lately. Is it because of that Demon Lord—Nalan Rongzhi? Or is it because of that…Lu Lingxi Yao who stole your beloved?"

Zi Yan's expression changed, as if a sore spot had been touched. "What nonsense are you talking about?!"

"Whether I'm lying or not, the young city lord knows best." Lu Lingqingyue walked up to her, her voice low and carrying a strange allure. "I know you hate Lu Lingxiyao, and I hate her too. I wish I could grind her to dust. We have a common enemy, don't we?"

Zi Yan's heart skipped a beat, but she remained vigilant. "What do you want to say?"

"I want to help you." Lu Lingqingyue looked directly into her eyes, as if she could see through the deepest desire in her heart, "I want to help you get back Nalan Rongzhi and make that Lu Lingxi Yao disappear completely!"

"Help me?" Zi Yan sneered. "You think you'd be that kind?"

"Of course I'm not helping for nothing," Lu Lingqingyue said frankly. "My goal is very simple: to kill Lu Lingxiyao! As long as you can help me achieve this goal, I will naturally help you get what you want."

She paused, then took out an exquisite white jade bottle from her bosom and handed it to Zi Yan. "Inside is the 'Love-Thread Corroding Gu Pill,' which is colorless and odorless. Just one drop mixed into wine or food will cause anyone, no matter how high their cultivation or how strong their will, to develop a strong lust for the person who administered the drug, become delirious, and be completely at your mercy."

Zi Yan stared at the white jade bottle, her breathing quickening slightly. If... if it really could make Rong Zhi fall for this kind of medicine...

"As long as you find a chance to get Nalan Rongzhi to take this medicine, then the deed will be done. Even if Lu Lingxi finds out, what can she do? Nalan Rongzhi will have to take responsibility for you out of consideration for his reputation and duty." Lu Lingqingyue coaxed patiently. "At that time, you will be the rightful Demon Queen, while Lu Lingxi will be nothing more than a pitiful abandoned wretch!"

Zi Yan's heart pounded. The scene described by Lu Lingqingyue was too tempting. Becoming the Demon Queen, winning over Rong Zhi, and getting rid of that bitch Lu Lingxi Yao—wasn't this exactly what she had been dreaming of?

Her reason screamed at her that this was dangerous and that the consequences would be unimaginable if she were discovered, but intense jealousy and possessiveness ultimately overwhelmed her reason.

"Fine!" She snatched the white jade bottle, clutching it tightly in her hand, her eyes filled with madness. "I'll cooperate with you. As long as I can get Brother Rong Zhi and get rid of Lu Lingxi Yao, I'll do anything!"

"Very good." Lu Lingqingyue smiled with satisfaction, her smile cold and smug. "Remember, you only have one chance. You must seize it. After it's done, I will come back to find you." With that, Lu Lingqingyue's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

Zi Yan looked at the white jade bottle in her hand, her face showing a mixture of excitement and nervousness. She began to plan how to get close to Nalan Rongzhi and how to make him take the Love-Corroding Gu Pill without him noticing...

However, what they didn't know was that in a secluded corner outside the bedchamber, a seemingly adorable white kitten had overheard their entire conversation.

A hint of disdain and coldness flashed in the white tiger's eyes. Then, its figure transformed into a white light and sped towards the direction of Nine Nether City.
