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

Before setting off, Lu Lingxi had already decided on the training ground for this trip, an extremely dangerous place—"Lotus Swamp." They had to first cross the Nine Nether Forest, then pass through Qinglan City, and finally arrive there.

On a forest path in the Nine Nether Forest, a girl of about twelve or thirteen years old was walking leisurely with a child of about seven or eight years old. The child was holding a fluffy little husky in his arms. Strangely, no spirit beast dared to approach them.

The girl was Lu Lingxi Yao, who had returned to her original form, along with the boy transformed from the Demon Blood Vine and the Gale Wolf, Huan Yue, who had transformed into a little husky.

Along the way, whenever they had free time, they would tease the spirit beasts for fun and often fight with them. Unconsciously, their strength also improved.

On the fifth day of the second month, the outline of Qinglan City appeared faintly on the distant horizon. However, unexpected events occurred. The originally bright sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds, and then a torrential rain poured down like a waterfall, shrouding the earth in a hazy mist.

Faced with this sudden turn of events, Lu Lingxi Yao had no choice but to hurriedly find a hidden cave with Huan Yue and Huan Ying and hide inside.

Inside the cave, Lu Lingxi skillfully started a campfire. Instead of relying on spiritual power, she used an almost primitive method to take off her rain-soaked outer garment and gently drape it beside the fire, letting the warm flames dispel the chill and dry every drop of water on her clothes.

At this moment, Huan Yue lay by the fire, watching the leaping flames. She seemed to have thought of something, and drool dripped onto the ground. Suddenly, she turned to Lu Ling Xi Yao and pleaded in a coquettish tone, her eyes full of expectation.

"Master, my little wolf wants to eat roasted meat! Will you make it for me?"

Upon hearing this, Phantom couldn't suppress its curiosity either. Tilting its head, its eyes sparkling with curiosity and longing, it interjected, "Master, Phantom also wants to try the taste of roasted meat! Can Master make it?"

Faced with the pleading looks in the two beasts' eyes, Lu Lingxi shook her head helplessly, a doting smile playing on her lips. She knew she simply couldn't refuse the two little ones' request.

So, she said in a slightly teasing tone, "Want to eat meat? That'll have to do with your skills. Go and catch me a demon boar!"

Before the words were even finished, Huan Yue immediately perked up, her figure flashed, and she transformed into a silver streak of light, rushing out of the cave. Following closely behind, Huan Ying also used the teleportation technique without hesitation, following Huan Yue closely.

Inside the cave, tranquility returned, broken only by the crackling of the firewood in the bonfire. Lu Lingxi found a comfortable spot, sat cross-legged, and slowly closed her eyes, immersing herself in meditation and cultivation. She shut herself off from the outside noise, leaving only a calm and peaceful heart that resonated with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Only when she heard the footsteps of Huan Yue and Huan Ying returning with their bountiful harvest outside the cave did Lu Lingxi slowly open her eyes.

Huan Yue's fur was soaking wet. It shook its body, trying to shake off the water droplets. When Lu Lingxi saw this, a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes. Then, she gently raised her hand, and a wisp of red flame circled around her slender fingers. She then slowly brushed over Huan Yue's wet body. In an instant, Huan Yue's fur became dry and fluffy again, radiating a natural luster.

"Thank you, Master!" Huan Yue's voice was tinged with emotion as it gazed at Lu Lingxi Yao with affection, its eyes filled with gratitude.

Lu Lingxi smiled, gently brushing Huan Yue's nose with her fingertips, and replied affectionately, "Between us, there's no need for thanks."

The phantom beside her, being a plant-type spirit beast, naturally loved water and seemed to enjoy this "care" immensely, requiring no further effort from Lu Lingxi.

Afterwards, Lu Lingxi Yao got busy. She skillfully processed the newly captured demon pig, skinning and cleaning it, then carefully rubbed it with spices, skewered the meat pieces, and placed them on the grill. Soon, the tempting aroma of the meat filled the entire cave, making people's mouths water.

After the meal, a sense of satisfaction arose spontaneously. Lu Lingxi took out a bed from her space. It was simple yet elegant. She lay down and soon fell asleep.

The next morning, after being cleansed by the torrential rain, the forest was even more vibrant. The scent of fresh grass filled the air, fresh and lingering. A magnificent rainbow stretched across the sky, making the entire sky exceptionally clear and bright.

Lu Lingxi woke up leisurely, stretching her lazy body with a satisfied smile on her face. After a simple wash, she gently put the bed into her spatial ring, awakened her two spirit beasts, and the two of them headed towards Qinglan City.

In less than half a day, Qinglan City was in sight. The bustling city was teeming with people, and all sorts of figures moved about, creating a lively and exciting atmosphere.

The mercenaries stood out, their unwavering resolve and carefree spirit resonating with Lu Lingxi, as if she were seeing a shared spiritual imprint.

She went straight to Shengyuan Auction House, entrusted the pills in her hands to the professionals, and then went into the market to buy the supplies she needed for her journey. After a busy period, she did not linger for long and rushed to Lotus Swamp.

As soon as they stepped into the outer perimeter, Lu Lingxi Yao's appearance was like a breath of fresh air, instantly attracting everyone's attention. Beside her, the husky that Huan Yue had transformed into had a fluffy body that gleamed warmly in the sunlight, and its adorable appearance made people want to get close to it.

Lu Lingxi Yao herself, dressed in a simple white dress, was light and graceful, like a white lotus untouched by dust, making her stand out in the crowd with her pure and refined beauty.

She exuded the aura of a second-level Spirit King, like an invisible barrier that deterred those with ill intentions and weak spiritual power from approaching her.

However, hidden in a dark corner, a young man with a meaningful smile on his lips, his gaze gentle and doting, followed Lu Lingxi closely.

Lu Lingxi Yao also sensed a faint gaze watching her, and a sense of vigilance arose in her heart. However, she did not know the location of the other party, which showed that the other party's strength was above hers. In addition, the other party had no ill intentions, so she let it go.

Because of the illusion, the spirit beasts on the outer and central sides all avoided it and dared not approach easily. In this way, Lu Lingxi Yao successfully went deep into the heart of the Lotus Swamp.

As they ventured deeper, the atmosphere grew increasingly heavy. Danger seemed tangible, pressing down on every breath. Thorns covered the surroundings, and thick, heavy haze blotted out the sun. Silence reigned, and even the wind seemed to fear this land, hesitant to blow. Only the occasional roar of a beast could break the suffocating stillness.

"Master, be careful!" the phantom cried out anxiously.

Before Lu Lingxi could react, a sudden force tightened around her waist, and she was pulled into the air by an irresistible force.

In her terror, Lu Lingxi looked at the vines binding her. At the end of the vines bloomed an enormous flower, several meters in diameter, its petals layered upon each other like pieces of translucent jade, shimmering with a faint blue light and emitting a delicate fragrance. The sharp serrations along the edges of the petals slowly opened, like a ravenous maw, attempting to devour her whole.

At this moment, Ling Shu's calm yet urgent voice came from the depths of the space: "Master, this is the Life-Devouring Lotus. Its fragrance can temporarily bewitch the minds of living beings, luring them closer before devouring them mercilessly."

"What's even more terrifying is that the predatory lotus has an extremely cruel method of hunting. Its petals secrete a highly corrosive mucus that can decompose its prey in a very short time and then turn it into nutrients to nourish itself."

"It's just a mere eight-star high-level plant-type spirit beast, yet it dares to attack my master. It's simply courting death!"

Before the words were even finished, Huan Yue's figure flashed, and a blazing red light pierced the air, heading straight for the giant maw of the Life-Devouring Lotus that was trying to devour everything.

The moment the fireball struck its target, the massive body of the Life-Devouring Lotus seemed to suffer a fatal blow, bursting open and spreading a pungent stench—the traces left behind after countless lives were devoured.

Lu Lingxi felt a tremor in her heart; the foul smell seemed to be telling the story of the cruelty and bloodshed of the Devouring Lotus in the past.

Finally, Lu Lingxi landed steadily from the air, gently brushing the dust off her body, her eyes flashing with unprecedented solemnity and vigilance.

"Not only are there high-level spirit beasts hidden here, but even the plant-type spirit beasts are so terrifying. We must proceed with extreme caution and not be careless in the slightest."

Before she had taken more than a few steps, a series of intense fighting sounds suddenly came from ahead, causing Lu Lingxi to stop involuntarily and focus her gaze on the distance.

What came into view was an infuriating scene: several lewd-looking men were surrounding a young girl, eyeing her menacingly.

The girl was beautiful and refined, with a graceful figure and exquisite curves. However, her white dress was torn to shreds, and the spots of scarlet blood, like blooming, tragically beautiful flowers, made her fair skin stand out starkly.

Lu Lingxi Yao originally intended to stay out of it and leave quietly, but she did not expect that the eyes of those villains were as sharp as hungry wolves. They instantly caught her presence and then, like sharks smelling blood, quickly surrounded her.

"Hey, where did this pretty girl come from? She's quite pretty, though a bit young, but we brothers don't care!" One of them said, his words full of frivolity and greed.

"Haha, that's right, little lady, come and have some fun with us brothers, I guarantee you'll be in heaven!" another man chimed in, his eyes gleaming with lewdness.

As Lu Lingxi was swept over by their disgusting gazes, a sharp glint flashed in her eyes, and a contemptuous smile curled at the corner of her lips, as if mocking their overestimation of their abilities.

"Since you're so eager to have some fun, I'll play along." Her words were firm and unwavering.

"Huan Yue, leave the leader to me, and I'll leave the rest to you." Lu Lingxi Yao silently communicated with Huan Yue in her mind, her tone filled with unquestionable trust.

"Master, what about me?" Demon Blood Vine couldn't wait to interject when it saw that it had been excluded.

"You... you'll just be a quiet spectator," Lu Lingxi Yao replied casually, her tone tinged with a hint of mockery.

"But, Master, I want to help too!" The Blood Vine pleaded again, unwilling to give up.

"Listen to me, these minor characters don't need our powerful Phantom to deal with them. Handing them over to Phantom Moon is more than enough."

Lu Lingxi's words made the Demon Blood Vine feel like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. But when it heard that its status was above Huan Yue, it proudly raised its chin, stepped aside, and prepared to "watch" the battle.

Immediately afterwards, a thrilling battle began. Lu Lingxi and Huan Yue rushed towards the enemy. Huan Yue reverted to her Gale Wolf form, opened her blood-red maw, and instantly one person died under its sharp teeth, blood splattering like a fountain.

"That wolf cub is tough to deal with, everyone attack together!" the leader shouted.

However, Lu Lingxi Yao flashed and stood in front of him, coldly saying, "Your opponent is me."

Upon hearing this, a fierce glint flashed in the man's eyes, and he raised his long sword to slash at Lu Lingxi.

At this critical moment, Lu Lingxiyao softly parted her lips: "Vine Binding!"

In an instant, the ground seemed to come alive, and countless vines burst forth from the soil, tightly coiling around the man's body like giant pythons.

Despite possessing the strength of a seventh-level Martial Emperor, Lu Lingxi Yao did not let her guard down. She mobilized her spiritual power once more, and countless sharp thorns immediately sprouted from the vines. Each thorn shimmered with a green light; it was the venom of the Demon Blood Vine, enough to kill even a high-level spirit beast instantly.
