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

However, tens of thousands of years ago, the earth's veins changed, and evil energy arose. Cultivating in the city not only brought no benefits but also made it easy to suffer from demonic possession. Therefore, it was gradually abandoned by cultivators and became a desolate city.

Without human support, the ancient city quickly fell into ruin. Many of the sturdy city walls collapsed, and weeds grew rampant on the once main streets. Wild rabbits, reindeer, wolves, and other animals made the city their new home.

Li Lan did not rush inside.

He activated his Heavenly Eye, gazing into the distance and carefully surveying the area. Over seven days, he traversed all seven massive mountain ranges surrounding the giant city.

Then, Li Lan left.

He returned to the remote town, went into his study, and stayed inside.

"Sister, your dumplings are so delicious! Even better than Mom's!"

The voice of Lele, a girl from the Gobi Desert, could be heard coming from the courtyard.

"Lele, don't call me 'sister,' call me 'Mr. Wu'!"

Sister-in-law Axiang is educating the children.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry about Lele. I prefer her to call me 'sister'."

Miao Wuyu smiled and said, "Lele, eat quickly, there will be more after you finish."

……

Li Lan listened in the study and simply smiled.

……

In the blink of an eye, a year has passed.

As the sun set, Miao Wuyu returned from the town's school, carrying several pieces of meat and several bundles of celery.

Pork and celery, that is what is called "shuxiu".

However, not every family can afford it. She knows that many families don't even eat meat once a year. Therefore, she has decided that this year, even children who don't pay tuition can still audit classes at the school!

In this way, more children can read, learn to read, and understand principles. She was in a good mood. When she got home, she prepared to make braised pork and invited Lele and Aunt Xiang to have dinner together that evening.

She was washing vegetables in the kitchen when suddenly a voice sounded behind her:

"The one-year term is up, Holy Maiden, you may proceed."

Upon hearing this, Miao Wuyu's body suddenly stiffened slightly. The words "Holy Maiden" seemed to have returned from something extremely distant, causing her heart to flutter slightly.

She turned around and saw Li Lan smiling faintly at her.

Li Lan!

Over the past year, Li Lan has never interfered with her life, and has even disappeared from her life as if he didn't exist.

Only now did she suddenly shift from the identity of "Teacher Wu Yu" back to "Saintess Cihang," and for a moment, she felt a huge sense of loss and found it hard to adapt.

"What, has the Holy Maiden Cihang forgotten who she is?"

Li Lan joked.

The Holy Maiden of Cihang, Miao Wuyu, remained silent for a long while before slowly speaking, "What do you want to debate with me about?"

She recalled many scriptures that she had memorized perfectly and understood thoroughly when she was at the Cihang Holy Land, but now, she felt a sense of unfamiliarity with them...

For the past year, she has been immersed in life: the endless chores of daily life, the countless trivial matters, the joys and sorrows in the classroom, and the pleasant time spent with Sister Xiang and Lele...

At times, she seemed to have truly forgotten the way she came.

It was as if she had truly become "Wu Yu" and was no longer without desire.

She had desires—to eat more delicious food, to impart more knowledge to the children—and when the children praised her and the people around her loved her, she couldn't help but feel happy and moved...

"I am the Holy Maiden Cihang... I want to go back!"

At this moment, facing the boundary of the question of who she was, she seemed a little uneasy and subconsciously murmured a question.

What do you want to argue with me about?

She took a serious look and asked the question again.

Li Lan laughed and said, "It's simple, kill him."

"Kill Sister-in-law Axiang and Lele, kill all the students in your school, slaughter this whole town—"

"If you can do that, you win, and I will let you leave without any hindrance!"

But Miao Wuyu was stunned.

She looked at Li Lan, a sudden surge of anger rising on her face, and said, "They... they were all innocent people, why kill them?"
