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

As the Sea Demon King, Lan Yuan holds a pivotal position in the Illusionary Sea Continent. His Crystal Palace naturally has hidden waterways that connect to various sea areas. Lu Lingxi put away the Green Wood Flying Boat and, together with Nalan Rongzhi, entered a water curtain teleportation array under Lan Yuan's guidance.

The light shifted, and in the blink of an eye, they appeared in a wider and deeper sea, where powerful water-based spiritual energy fluctuations could be faintly felt.

"Master, Demon Lord, we are approaching the central sea area of ​​the Illusionary Sea Continent. The Dragon Clan's sacred land, 'Dragon Abyss Valley,' is just ahead." Lan Yuan's voice came clearly through the specially made bubble, which isolated them from the seawater while allowing them to breathe and talk freely.

Lan Yuan rode the water at great speed, and soon a huge coral forest of dazzling colors appeared before him. This coral forest was incredibly beautiful, yet it also concealed many mysteries. Countless tiny water whirlpools appeared and disappeared among the corals, forming a natural maze.

"This coral forest is the first barrier outside Dragon Abyss Valley. Ordinary sea creatures would easily get lost in it without guidance," Lan Yuan explained, while skillfully manipulating the water flow, weaving through the maze of forests and avoiding hidden traps.

Passing through the coral forest, the view suddenly opened up, revealing a majestic underwater mountain range stretching endlessly. In the center of the mountain range, an enormous abyss emitted a faint blue light. Around the abyss, countless magnificent palaces were built against the mountain, adorned with pearls, paved with jade, with coral beams and seashells as tiles. Reflected in the deep sea's glow, they shimmered and shone, like a dream. This was the underwater dragon palace of the Golden Dragon Clan, quite different from the dragon palace that had been atop the clouds.

At this moment, Dragon Abyss Valley was more lively and festive than usual. Powerful auras converged from all directions, clearly from guests of various races who came to attend the Dragon King's wedding. The huge luminous pearl illuminated the entire Dragon Abyss Valley as bright as day. Dragon guards could be seen patrolling everywhere. They were wearing golden or silver scale armor, holding long halberds, with solemn expressions, powerful auras, and sharp eyes scrutinizing every guest who entered Dragon Abyss Valley.

"Who goes there? State your identity!" Two golden-armored dragon guards blocked Lan Yuan and his group's path, their voices loud and clear, carrying an unquestionable authority.

Lan Yuan stepped forward, releasing a slight aura of the Sea Demon King, and said in a deep voice, "Lan Yuan of the Sea Demon Clan, has come with friends to congratulate Dragon King Bai Ze and Phoenix King Feng Qingxue on their wedding."

The two dragon guards, sensing the powerful aura of a king emanating from Lan Yuan, relaxed slightly. One of the dragon guards said, "So it is His Majesty the Sea Demon King. My apologies for my disrespect. Please follow me, and I will lead you to the welcoming hall." The dragon race and the sea demon race have a long history of dealings, and with the Sea Demon King himself present, they naturally dared not be negligent.

Led by the dragon guards, the three passed through several palace corridors and arrived at a palace called "Gathering Dragon Palace". Inside the palace, many guests had already gathered. They were all prominent figures from the Illusionary Sea Continent, and they were chatting and laughing in twos and threes, creating a lively atmosphere.

"Master, Demon Lord, please wait here for a moment. I'm going to find Brother Bai Ze," Lan Yuan said to the two.

Lu Lingxi nodded: "Thank you for your trouble."

Lan Yuan turned to leave when a voice filled with surprise and joy suddenly came from inside the hall: "Lan Yuan? Oh, Yao Yao, it really is you, and Young Master Nalan too!"

A fiery red figure burst out of the hall like a whirlwind, her pretty and bright face filled with disbelief. The newcomer was none other than the Phoenix Queen, Feng Qingxue. Today, she was wearing a red dress embroidered with golden phoenix patterns, making her look radiant and beautiful. However, at this moment, all her attention was drawn to the suddenly appearing Lu Lingxi Yao and Nalan Rongzhi.

"Xiaoxue!" When Lu Lingxi saw Feng Qingxue, a genuine smile appeared on her face, and she quickly went to greet her.

"Yaoyao, it really is you! I thought I was seeing things!" Feng Qingxue excitedly grabbed Lu Lingxi's hand and looked her up and down. "Why did you suddenly come? You didn't even tell us beforehand so we could send someone to pick you up! I was even talking to Bai Ze about how you're always on the move, and we didn't know if we could even contact you for the wedding!"

Lu Lingxi Yao smiled and said, "I just finished some business in the Demon Realm. When I heard that you and Bai Ze were getting married, I rushed over without stopping, thinking of giving you a surprise. How was it? Are you satisfied with the surprise?"

"Satisfied! Very satisfied!" Feng Qingxue smiled with her eyes crinkling, then turned to Nalan Rongzhi and gave him a graceful bow, "Young Master Nalan, it's been a long time, you are as charming as ever."

Nalan Rongzhi nodded slightly: "Your Highness is too kind, congratulations."

"Yaoyao, Young Master Nalan, you've come at just the right time!" A gentle and joyful male voice rang out. Bai Ze, dressed in a magnificent robe embroidered with golden dragon patterns, walked slowly out of the hall, a sincere smile on his handsome face. "I was worried that I wouldn't be able to see you before the wedding, but I didn't expect you to come looking for me on your own."

"Bai Ze." Lu Lingxi greeted him with a smile, "Congratulations to you and Xiaoxue, you two lovers have finally become a couple."

Bai Ze laughed heartily: "Thank you, Xi Yao, Young Master Nalan, Lan Yuan, please come inside. My father and several elders are discussing matters in a side hall. I will introduce you to them later." He greeted them warmly and led them into a side hall of the Gathering Dragon Hall.

“We just arrived in the Illusionary Sea Continent. When Lan Yuan mentioned your wedding, we thought we had to come and have a drink at your wedding,” Lu Lingxi explained. “We’ve been traveling around a lot before, so it was really difficult to contact you.”

Feng Qingxue said knowingly, "I knew you must have been delayed by something. Bai Ze and I are so happy that you came in time. Quickly, have some spiritual tea. This is a special product of the Dragon Clan, Cloud Mist Dragon Saliva, which is very good for restoring spiritual power."

The maidservants quickly served fragrant tea, and the group took their seats, creating a warm and familiar atmosphere.

"Oh right, Yao Yao!" Feng Qingxue's eyes lit up as if she remembered something. "My sister Feng Qingyu is here too, as are some of your senior brothers from the Holy Spirit Academy: Shangguan Yunqing, Xiao Xuan, Bai Mingxuan, and Chu Yifan. They've all come to attend the ceremony on behalf of their respective families or factions. I'll take you to meet them later. They'll be very happy to know you're here!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Lingxiyao's eyes flashed with surprise and nostalgia: "Senior Sister Qingyu and Senior Brother Shangguan are here too? That's wonderful! It's been more than ten years since I left the Holy Spirit Continent and haven't seen them." She couldn't help but recall the scenes of training and studying with her senior brothers and sisters in the academy, and a faint smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.

In the following days, Dragon Abyss Valley was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, filled with joy and celebration. Guests from all directions arrived one after another, and the sacred land of the Dragon Clan had never been so lively.

Lu Lingxi and Nalan Rongzhi were arranged to stay in the best guest courtyard in the Dragon Palace. They spent their days having small gatherings with Bai Ze and Feng Qingxue, or touring the wonders of Dragon Abyss Valley with Lan Yuan. It was quite pleasant.

During this time, Feng Qingxue took Lu Lingxiyao to meet Feng Qingyu, Shangguan Yunqing, and others.

"Junior Sister!" A joyful call rang out as Feng Qingyu, dressed in a fiery red outfit, looked dashing and heroic. Upon seeing Lu Lingxi Yao, she immediately gave her a warm hug. "It really is you! I thought Xiaoxue was joking with me. After all these years, you've become more and more amazing. Your deeds have spread across several continents!"

Feng Qingyu's personality remained as passionate and direct as ever. Lu Lingxiyao smiled and hugged her back, saying, "Senior Sister, you're still as charming as ever. But you and Senior Brother Shangguan..." She looked at Shangguan Yunqing with a mischievous glint in her eyes.

Shangguan Yunqing still had that handsome and unrestrained look, but when he looked at Feng Qingyu, there was a touch of tenderness and doting in his eyes that he hadn't seen before. He coughed lightly and said somewhat awkwardly, "Junior Sister Xiyao, it's been many years."

"Senior Brother Shangguan, how have you been?" Lu Lingxi said with a smile. "I still remember how someone looked at Senior Sister back in the academy. I never imagined that after all these years, you two would actually get married. Congratulations!"

Feng Qingyu blushed slightly and glared at Lu Lingxi, but couldn't hide her happy smile: "You're so mischievous. Yunqing and I only got married a few years ago. I wanted to send you an invitation, but I couldn't find you anywhere."

"It's alright, I'll send my blessings today as well." Lu Lingxi was genuinely happy for them.
