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

Xia Jingmo's words awakened him. Yang Yi was walking in a dream, self-destructing, but who among the common people is not like that?

Everyone is choosing their own tribulation, yet no one is fully aware of it.

Li Lan was also quite emotional at this moment...

Who exactly is that person? Yang Yi, the Black Dog, and others are all peerless talents, but to him, they all seem like mere pawns, like blades of grass...

He had foreseen the calamities and hardships that Yang Yi and the others would face hundreds of thousands of years ago, but he simply did not intervene.

Li Lan had no doubt that all the great battles and upheavals of today were perhaps just traces he casually sketched as he viewed the scroll of time...

Did he once look back from the distant past and see Li Lan as she is today?

Li Lan was unaware.

He stopped thinking and, struggling to support his badly injured body, said, "It's time for all of this to end."

The big black dog nodded and said, "I'll go and get her!"

Yang Yi is dead, the curtain has fallen, and no one can stop Li Lan from regaining control of Reincarnation.

It prepared to re-enter the small mountain village, but before it could even take a step, the gate to the small courtyard opened once more.

A woman had already come out, holding an iron chain in her hand.

At the other end of the chain, another girl was chained up. She was emaciated, extremely thin, and her face was deathly pale, devoid of any color. But at that moment, she raised her head and saw Li Lan in the distance outside the mountain village. Tears instantly welled up in her lifeless eyes—

"Ruo Bing!"

Outside the mountain village, Li Lan was shocked and instinctively tried to rush into the small village.

"stop!"

But Lin Ruoxue spoke coldly, her fair and delicate hand already landing on Lin Ruobing's head, saying, "If you dare to enter the village, I will kill her on the spot!"

Li Lan suppressed his anger, stopped, and said in a deep voice, "Lin Ruoxue, she is your sister!"

Inside the village, Lin Ruoxue said calmly, "That's right, she's my sister, but if I remember correctly, she's also your wife... Am I right?"

Li Lan stared at her.

"Do you know how I became the Lord of Reincarnation?"

Lin Ruoxue looked at Li Lan, her eyes seemingly filled with mockery, though it was unclear whether she was mocking herself or Li Lan:

“Once you have control over the power of reincarnation, it is extremely difficult to take it away, but the continuation of cause and effect is one way.”

"Ruobing once shared a marital relationship with you, was deeply in love with you, and had the deepest karmic connection with you. Therefore, she is the best successor, and Yang Yi chose her for this very reason."

"What a pity... Love is both her strength and her weakness. She didn't want to hurt you, and even went so far as to attack Yang Yi for it."

"Therefore, Yang Yi had no choice but to settle for second best, and I became that second best."

"Ruobing has the deepest karmic connection with you, and I, besides you, have the deepest karmic connection with Ruobing. Therefore, all I need to do is replace Ruobing..."

As she recounted these events, a glimmer of pain, a pain she didn't want to recall, seemed to linger in Lin Ruoxue's eyes, but she suppressed it and said:

"So, you're the one who ruined Ruobing, and you're the one who ruined me too!!"

She stared at Li Lan, her eyes filled with complex emotions—anger, resentment, and even a hint of humiliation…

She had once ignored Li Lan, but later came to admire him, even unconsciously developing a crush on him...

In fact, during the last Great Battle of the Realm of Truth, she personally went to see Li Lan and gave him advice not to come, but all she got in return was Li Lan's indifference.

"You are dead, so why can't you die cleanly and have to come back?"

She glared at Li Lan with resentment, but then let out a maniacal laugh and said, "No, I should thank you... thank you for not dying completely."

"Otherwise, I might have already been devoured by Yang Yi... Heh, what true feelings are there in this world? It's all just about interests."

"Thank you for helping me kill Yang Yi."

The madness in her eyes slowly faded, then gradually returned to calm. She stared at Li Lan and said:

“Li Lan, I have given up everything – I have nothing left to lose.”
