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

The little boy's figure appeared small and fragile under the holy light. He knelt on the ground, his eyes filled with helplessness and pleading, his childish voice trembling.

"Sister, beautiful sister, please... please let me go, I know I was wrong."

As he finished speaking, an indescribable pain seemed to erupt from every cell in his body, causing his small frame to curl up into a ball, his pained expression evoking pity.

Just then, Ling Shu's voice echoed in Lu Lingxi Yao's mind again, "Master, this little boy is not ordinary. He has the aura of the Netherworld Pearl on him. I didn't notice it at first, but now I can clearly sense its presence."

Upon hearing this, Lu Lingxi frowned, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes. "The Netherworld Pearl? You mean, this legendary evil artifact can actually transform into a human?"

"That's not the case, Master."

Ling Shu's voice carried a hint of explanation, "Actually, the little boy's soul was unfortunately absorbed by the Netherworld Pearl. However, during this process, the little boy's indomitable will did not yield. Instead, he engaged in a silent battle with the evil power of the Netherworld Pearl. Over the years, the little boy's will gradually gained the upper hand, allowing the Netherworld Pearl to acquire human thoughts. After tens of thousands of years of arduous cultivation and tempering, it was finally able to take on the form of a human."

Upon hearing this, Lu Lingxi Yao couldn't help but sigh, her tone filled with both shock and admiration, "To be able to suppress this evil entity, what an incredibly strong will it must take..."

"That's why, Master, the Netherworld Pearl now possesses humanity, making this undoubtedly the best time for you to form a contract with it."

Ling Shu's voice carried a hint of urgency and anticipation, "Once you successfully form a contract with it, not only will your strength increase greatly, but you will also have more confidence when facing those troublesome opponents like the Gui Fang Clan and the You Ming Clan in the future."

Lu Lingxi Yao immediately understood, and then said to the little boy in a cold yet irresistible tone, "Since you are begging me for mercy, are you willing to form a contract with me?"

Upon hearing this, the little boy nodded repeatedly, almost before the words were even finished, his voice filled with urgency, "I'm willing, I'm willing! As long as I can live, I'll do anything you ask!"

Lu Lingxi smiled gently and bit her fingertip without hesitation, just like when she made a contract with the Kunlun Ring. Only this time, she wanted to make a contract with a Netherworld Pearl that had a soul and consciousness.

She gently touched the little boy's brow with her blood-stained fingertip. The boy's body trembled violently, and then an indescribable power surged from her fingertip, coursing through her entire body like an electric current. She felt a sudden darkness before her eyes, as if she had been drawn into a deep and mysterious vortex by an invisible force. She saw fragments of her past and glimpsed some blurry pieces of the future. These images flashed rapidly through his mind like a revolving lantern, giving him a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the meaning of life, the mystery of death, the nature of power, and the responsibilities on his shoulders.

At the same time, the little boy's body also underwent an astonishing change. He gradually shrank and eventually transformed into a dark red bead. The surface of the bead shimmered with bright light and released powerful energy fluctuations that tightly enveloped Lu Lingxi Yao.

Enveloped in energy, Lu Lingxi Yao's body and soul underwent subtle changes. She felt an unprecedented power, which was bestowed upon her by the Netherworld Pearl.

When the energy was released and the light faded, a mark appeared in her spiritual sea. The contract was completed, and her cultivation level soared to the peak of the ninth star of the Spirit Venerable realm. She was just a little bit away from breaking through.

At the same time, both Phantom Moon and Netherworld Demon have improved, but not significantly. Only the Dark-type Phantom has been directly upgraded by one star, and is currently an eight-star Divine Beast.

After the contract was completed, the Netherworld Pearl transformed into the appearance of a little boy once again. This time, it was completely different from before. His appearance was like a finely crafted work of art, which was eye-catching.

With short blue hair, big eyes with light blue pupils, long eyelashes fluttering beautifully, a small and straight nose, pink lips, and chubby cheeks, he looks like a cute little boy straight out of a comic book, so adorable that you can't help but want to get close to him.

Youmingzhu ran happily to Lu Lingxiyao, hugged her tightly with his small, tender hands, and spoke in a soft, childlike voice with a touch of coquetry.

"My sister smells so nice, so warm!"

Looking at the adorable little one in front of her, Lu Lingxi Yao felt a warm current gently envelop her heart, almost intoxicated by this pure innocence.

She crouched down, her eyes full of curiosity. "Little one, don't you have a name yet? What should I call you from now on? I can't keep calling you Netherworld Pearl, it sounds weird."

Upon hearing this, Youmingzhu shook her head, her blue eyes sparkling with anticipation and excitement. "Sister, can you give me a name? I want a name that belongs to me."

Lu Lingxi thought for a moment, a few names flashing through her mind, and finally she said softly, "How about Dark Night? It's both mysterious and profound, just like your abilities."

Upon hearing this, Youmingzhu's eyes lit up, and she nodded excitedly. She unconsciously tightened her grip on Lu Lingxiyao's small hand, as if afraid that this warmth would suddenly disappear.

"I like this name, Dark Night. From now on, I am Dark Night!"

"Dark Night, could you remove the barrier?" Lu Lingxi asked softly.

The barrier of darkness separated her from Lu Xinglan, and given that he had been missing for so long, he must be extremely anxious at this moment.

An Ye nodded, then gently waved his hand, and the seemingly invisible barrier instantly vanished. Immediately afterward, Lu Xinglan's figure came into view, his face full of worry.

Without saying a word, Lu Xinglan almost instinctively rushed towards Lu Lingxi Yao and hugged her tightly, as if afraid that if he let go, she would disappear.

"It's alright, Xinglan. Look, I've successfully formed a contract with the Netherworld Pearl."

Lu Lingxi gently patted Lu Xinglan's broad back, speaking in a soothing tone, while pointing to the dark night beside her, her face beaming with the joy of victory.

"My Yao Yao, you are always so outstanding."

Lu Xinglan's voice was deep and gentle, full of pride and doting. He gently placed a kiss on Lu Lingxi's forehead.

Although he did not show his worry, Lu Xinglan felt extremely guilty. The poisoning had caused him to revert to his teenage years, and his cultivation level had also dropped. If it weren't for these reasons, the barrier of the Netherworld Pearl would have been a piece of cake for him.

This experience made him realize that he must find a way to recover as soon as possible; otherwise, how could he protect her in the future?

With this responsibility in mind, he secretly decided that after this trip, he must leave temporarily to find a way to save the situation, no matter how unwilling he was.

With the help of the Netherworld Pearl, Lu Lingxi Yao took all the priceless treasures in the palace, leaving only some worthless items for others.

Afterwards, Lu Lingxi and Lu Xinglan returned to the entrance, led everyone into the palace, searched around, took away some valuable treasures, and then continued on their way.
