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

"Li Lan?"

The group was all extremely surprised, their gazes falling on Li Lan as they looked her up and down.

A hint of surprise flashed across Ling Xue's beautiful eyes, followed by a slightly complicated expression.

Beside her, Liu Guiyuan first frowned, but when he looked at Li Lan's current appearance, he couldn't help but smile slightly!

"Li Lan, is it really you?"

Zeng Rou spoke, her eyes widening, "You've come to the Ziwei Star Region too? What happened to you?"

Are you here to beg for food?

She speaks without restraint.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiang quickly smoothed things over, saying, "Li Lan was among the first people to come to the Ziwei Star Region, but he's been wandering and hiding all these years. From now on, he will also join the Dao Palace and become our fellow disciple..."

"Join the Dao Palace? Him?"

Zeng Rou seemed surprised, but then smiled and said, "That's right. After all, the Dao Palace still needs to raise some blood food. From now on, you'll have a companion."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiang's eyes flashed with anger, and he instinctively clenched his fists, but he gritted his teeth and remained silent.

Inside the Daoist temple, he was called a disciple, but in reality, he was just a sacrificial offering that could be used at any time, no different from pigs, cattle, or sheep. Over the years, he had long since come to understand this and become numb to his fate... But now, he was being mocked so directly by his former classmate.

It's still something his pride can't accept!

"Before the Azure Dragon, all living beings were food for the flesh; under the Heavenly Dao, all living beings are mere straw dogs. Does Miss Zeng Rou really think she can remain untainted?"

Seeing this, Li Lan spoke coldly.

Although they were classmates, Zeng Rou was quite mean and materialistic back in school. When Li Lan and Ling Xuewei were together, she often complained that Li Lan was not good enough for Ling Xuewei.

The past is no longer important, but now, even without any conflict of interest, Zeng Rou still looks down on and mocks her former classmates, treating her fellow Earthlings with such contempt... which makes him feel disgusted.

Upon hearing this, Zeng Rou's expression changed slightly, and she said, "Li Lan, what do you mean by this?"

Her aptitude within the Dao Palace was average, only slightly better than Zhou Xiang's. Therefore, she was always worried and anxious, wondering if she would one day end up like Zhou Xiang.

The more she realized that she might end up like Zhou Xiang, the more she hated and despised him. At the same time, she became increasingly obsequious to Liu Guiyuan and Ling Xuewei, as if currying favor with people of a higher level than herself would allow her to distance herself from the "lower creatures" around her.

But now Li Lan has struck at the truth she least wanted to face.

That instantly enraged her.

"You're just a beggar, and you've fallen to this state. Do you still think you're on Earth or on a university campus?"

Zeng Rou made no attempt to hide her disdain, saying, "Do you think what you learned on campus is still useful? Put away your pathetic values. Do you think you're worthy of being lectured by me? Li Lan, don't you know your place?"

"Heh, you call yourself one of the first to arrive in the Immortal Realm? Now, which of your classmates in the Immortal Realm isn't stronger than you? What else can you hope for besides being able to make friends with someone like Zhou Xiang?"

She launched into a tirade, unrestrained and sharp-tongued, which made Zhou Xiang's eyes red. Was it really shameful for Li Lan to be friends with him in the eyes of his former classmates?

A cold glint flashed in Li Lan's eyes.

Zeng Rou was clearly a cultivator at the fifth stage of the Nine Transformations, but when Li Lan looked at her like that, she inexplicably felt a chill run down her spine, her heart trembled, and she shuddered, no longer daring to utter any more harsh words.

"You, what do you want to do?"

She felt inexplicably flustered, outwardly fierce but inwardly weak.

"All right!"

At this moment, Ling Xuewei finally couldn't stand it anymore. She frowned slightly and said, "We were all classmates before, there's no need for this."

Upon hearing this, Zeng Rou dared not say anything more.
