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

Upon returning to Nalan Rongzhi's residence, Lu Lingxi Yao immediately went into the alchemy room. Ying had already collected all the medicinal herbs and given them to her, and she needed to quickly refine a pill to control Nalan Rongzhi's injuries—the Soul-Soothing Pill.

Although Nalan Rongzhi never told her about the origin of his injury, during several unintentional encounters, Lu Lingxi Yao found that she could always catch a strange aura about him, lingering around him. It was an indescribable chill that silently seeped into one's bones, making one tremble involuntarily.

What alarmed her even more was that there seemed to be a dark aura slowly moving through Nalan Rongzhi's spiritual veins, searching for any gaps that could erode everything.

This black aura carried an indescribable malevolence, as if it could devour all light. If Nalan Rongzhi had not possessed extraordinary willpower and composure, he would probably have already been affected by this black aura and become a puppet to be manipulated by others.

She couldn't help but start to worry about Nalan Rongzhi. Where did this black energy come from? And why was it clinging to him so tightly? She had to find an opportunity to ask him, otherwise she wouldn't be able to find a way to eradicate it.

This was also the only information she had learned about the black energy from the incomplete alchemy scroll. After carefully studying the relevant information about the black energy in the scroll, she found that the scroll mentioned an ancient elixir—the Soul-Soothing Pill—which could temporarily suppress the mysterious black energy.

Inside the alchemy room, Lu Lingxi Yao's expression was solemn, her brows revealing an unprecedented determination and caution. Her hands gently stroked the spiritual herbs beside her; these were all precious medicinal materials indispensable for refining the Soul-Soothing Pill.

However, for Lu Lingxi Yao, the biggest challenge in this alchemy was not the ratio of medicinal materials, but the dark spiritual power that had to be incorporated into the pills—a power that was malevolent and difficult to control.

Dark spiritual energy can permeate all things and even affect people's minds. However, in Lu Lingxi Yao's hands, it will be used to guide and control the restless black energy, making it an indispensable part of the Soul-Soothing Pill to stabilize and enhance the pill's efficacy. This requires her not only to have superb alchemy skills, but also to have a strong will and precise control. The slightest mistake could lead to failure or even unpredictable consequences.

The real test for Lu Lingxiyao had just begun. When all the materials were fused together in the flames at the critical moment, Lu Lingxiyao suddenly opened her eyes. She formed a hand seal, and the dark spiritual power in her body surged out, turning into strands of fine threads that slowly seeped into the flames and intertwined with the boiling medicinal liquid.

At this moment, all sounds in the entire alchemy room disappeared, leaving only the crackling of the furnace fire and Lu Lingxi's steady breathing.

As time quietly passed, her consciousness gradually merged with the process of alchemy, and her mind was free of distractions, with only her dedication to creating the perfect elixir.

The flames leaped, illuminating her focused and determined face, and golden light shimmered in her eyes—an anticipation of the miracle that was about to be born.

As the medicinal liquid in the flames gradually condensed, a faint black aura swirled around the surface of the pill, yet it was tightly bound by an invisible force, appearing both eerie and harmonious.

Finally, after this long yet short wait, a crisp "ding" sounded in the air, and the pill was completed.

Lu Lingxi smiled and reached out to put the five round pills, which were emitting a faint spiritual energy, into a jade bottle.

When Lu Lingxi Yao came out of the alchemy room, it was already nightfall on the second night. A faint coolness and the tranquility of the night permeated the surroundings.

Nalan Rongzhi seemed to have been quietly waiting outside the door, his figure appearing even more gentle in the moonlight. Upon seeing her, his eyes lit up instantly, and without the slightest hesitation, he naturally stepped forward and embraced her.

"Nalan Rongzhi, why are you like a piece of chewing gum? So clingy?" Lu Lingxi Yao's face showed a hint of helplessness and reproach, her brows furrowed slightly, but she couldn't hide the tenderness in her eyes.

Upon hearing this, Nalan Rongzhi smiled indulgently, shook his head gently, and said with a hint of playfulness, "No way, I'm like a piece of chewing gum, I'll stick to you for the rest of my life!"

Lu Lingxi sighed softly, gently pushed him away, and turned her gaze to the distance, in the direction of the Lin family, and said softly.

"I have other things to take care of."

Seeing this, Nalan Rongzhi not only did not back down, but moved even closer to her, his voice very gentle, "I'll accompany you. The Lin family is very powerful. How can you easily kill them all by yourself? Let me lend you a hand."

Ling Xiyao narrowed her eyes slightly, and she stubbornly replied, "I can do it. This is something I have to face."

Looking at her stubborn smile, Nalan Rongzhi felt a pang of sadness. In the end, he respected her choice. "Okay, but please remember, I'll be here whenever you need me."

"This is a calming pill. It can temporarily stabilize your injuries. Remember to take it whenever you feel unwell!"

Lu Lingxi handed the prepared Soul-Soothing Pill to Nalan Rongzhi, then walked towards the Lin family's residence under the cover of night...

Nalan Rongzhi looked at the pill in his hand, feeling an indescribable emotion. He watched the beautiful figure disappear into the distance and sighed inwardly: "Ah, what a stubborn girl." Then, he silently followed after her.

Who would have thought that he, the mighty Demon Lord, would spend his days following behind a little girl, taking care of all sorts of troublesome matters for her?

Seeing this, Zhixia anxiously hugged Huanyue and ran after Lu Lingxiyao, repeatedly calling out, "Miss, I want to go too!"

Huan Yue seemed to sense its master's decision. It leaped down from Zhi Xia's arms and instantly came to Lu Ling Xi Yao's side, rubbing its fluffy little head against her arm. "Master, wherever you go, the wolf will accompany you."

Lu Lingxi bent down and gently picked up Huanyue. She turned around and looked at Zhixia. "Zhixia, Grandpa needs someone to take care of him. It's very important to me if you go back and help me look after him!"

Although Zhi Xia really wanted to be with Lu Lingxi, since her mistress had given the order, she would do her best to fulfill it. So, she nodded and said, "I will take good care of the head of the family, please rest assured, mistress."
