Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

Li Lan sighed softly and said, "Perhaps I do have another past life."

"However, those poems were not based on my personal experience, but only on what I had seen."

"I have seen heroes of the human race who brought peace to the world, and I have also seen outstanding young people who cried out in despair at the end of their rope. I have seen loving couples separated by life and death, and I have also seen the sudden stirrings of young hearts..."

"I can't even tell now whether it was a dream or not; it's all too distant now."

"Perhaps only the present moment is real."

"The only thing we can protect is the reality of the present moment, so how can we talk about whether it's hard or not?"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Xiaoxiao remained silent for a long time before saying, "You're right, only the present moment is real."

Do you know which poem I like the most?

Li Lan asked, "Which one?"

Shangguan Xiaoxiao said, word by word, "I see no ancients before me, nor any successors after me. I contemplate the vastness of heaven and earth, and tears stream down my face in sorrow."

"To witness the vicissitudes of heaven and earth alone, to see no old friends again after the long river of time, to stand alone through eternity... this is perhaps too lonely."

"Therefore, I want to give you a poem."

Looking into her eyes, Li Lan felt as if at that moment, there were countless sparks of fireworks and stars shining brightly in them, creating a poem that stirred his heart for the first time.

"I will repay your kindness on the Golden Terrace and die for you, supporting the Jade Dragon."

This poem is not suitable for use in romantic relationships; it usually refers to close friends.

A scholar dies for a confidant.

Perhaps her lifelong pursuit was not to become Li Lan's wife or lover, nor to have a romantic relationship with him, but rather to be his confidante?

Or perhaps, fellow Daoist?

She smiled, then stood up and looked at the distant sky. The fiery clouds stretched endlessly, and the setting sun had already spread across the world, both beautiful and desolate. She whispered, "The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it is nearing dusk."

"Li Lan, I really hope that one day, when the crisis in the Immortal Realm has been resolved and the great calamity has passed, we can still talk about poetry and brew tea together on such a green peak."

After saying that, she suddenly turned around, took the initiative to hug Li Lan, and with a slight movement of her lips, kissed Li Lan's lips.

Li Lan's body stiffened slightly, but her voice rang out softly: "Hug me one more time, okay?"

Without further hesitation, Li Lan embraced her tightly.

After a long, long time.

"The marriage agreement with the True Dragon Clan was proposed by myself."

Shangguan Xiaoxiao turned and left, the setting sun falling on her like a stunning wedding dress.

"You don't need to come, and you shouldn't come."

Her figure has disappeared.

She came like a wisp of mist, and she left like a gust of wind.

She's still the same dashing and free-spirited woman; she seems to have never changed.

But without realizing it, everything seemed to have changed.

"I won't let you marry him."

But watching her retreating figure, Li Lan only uttered a single sentence softly.

She did not explain why she wanted to get married.

Li Lan didn't ask if she could not marry him.

He simply turned and headed toward the cat's secluded dwelling.

……

"Your cultivation progresses very quickly, but your path forward has already been cut off."

The place where the cat cultivates is filled with abundant and surging source energy. Long Bao swims in the pond, and its Dao Yuan Grass is planted on the source vein, where it continues to grow.

"What's the next step? Do you have any ideas?"

The cat looked at Li Lan.

"Observe a thousand swords to recognize their quality, play a thousand tunes to understand their sound. Since the Phoenix Clan's Heavenly Fire Path has been severed, then we should simply observe all the laws of the world and severely damage one path!"

Li Lan said calmly.

This was something he had planned long ago.

The cat suddenly raised its paw, and a beam of light entered Li Lan's mind, saying, "Since we're continuing the methods of the world, let's try this first?"

"If you can't even master this technique, you might as well stop here and stop struggling."

Li Lan was surprised. What did the cat mean by that?

In the past, she was very concerned about cause and effect. Li Lan had to exchange something before asking her to help him. But now she took the initiative to give Li Lan her cultivation technique.

This seems somewhat unusual.

But he remained calm and carefully examined it once more.
