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

"My men didn't recognize the Great Demon Supreme's token and actually obstructed you, fellow Daoist. They truly deserve to die. Rest assured, fellow Daoist, I have already severely punished them. Come, please drink a cup; consider it Zilong's apology to you—"

In another hall of the Demonic Sect, Xia Zilong, the grandson of the Eleventh Demon, with his aunt on his face, toasted Li Lan.

"You're too kind, you're too kind—"

Li Lan deliberately acted awkwardly, as if she had something on her mind.

"May I ask where you come from, my friend? Have you ever met the Great Demon Supreme?"

Xia Zilong asked.

Li Lan sighed and said, "We met that old man in a deep mountain. At that time, the old man was on the verge of death, so he gave us the token and asked us to deliver it to this place..."

Xia Zilong took a bite and said, "Has the Great Demon Supreme passed away?"

Li Lan nodded: "That's right."

Xia Zilong said, "In that case, fellow Daoist is the last successor of the Great Demon Supreme, and from now on, you will be one of us—"

"By the way, when Zhuang Shenmo invited you earlier, did he say anything to you?"

He then asked a question.

A hint of resentment flashed across Li Lan's face, but she immediately fell silent, gritting her teeth without saying a word.

Xia Zilong immediately sensed that there must be some hidden story behind this, and his interest was greatly piqued. He said, "Fellow Daoist, to be honest, we hit it off immediately. If you encounter any difficulties within the Demonic Sect, just tell me. My grandfather is an elder in the sect and will definitely help you."

After hesitating repeatedly, Li Lan asked somewhat hesitantly, "Can you really help me?"

Xia Zilong couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous. He had originally thought that the person chosen by the Great Demon Supreme would be someone extraordinary, but now it seemed that this Nan Mo was just an honest man from the bottom of society.

It was pure luck that he managed to obtain the Great Demon Lord's token.

"Don't worry, my grandfather is always fair in handling matters! Go ahead and tell me!"

he said.

Li Lan gritted her teeth and said, "Zhuang Shenmo... he's forcing me to vote for his grandfather tomorrow!"

“I told them I was new here and didn’t know anything about the Demonic Cult… no, the Holy Cult. I refused to join them, but they forced me to. They even detained my wife. If I listen to them, my wife will die!”

Li Lan looked exactly like an honest person who was being oppressed, both angry and powerless!

"What a demonic Zhuang!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Zilong was both furious and overjoyed!

What angered him was that the other party actually attempted to overthrow the council of elders; what surprised him was that Nan Mo was indeed a fool, and actually said it out loud, thus giving him the opportunity to prepare!

"Fellow Daoist, you've fallen for Zhuang Shenmo's trick!"

Xia Zilong sighed deeply and began to act!

Li Lan was stunned for a moment and said, "Huh? What trick did I fall for?"

“If you don’t vote for his grandfather, you’ll still have a chance to live. But if you do vote, not only will you lose your wife, but you’ll also die…”

Xia Zilong said meaningfully, "Think about it, his grandfather only rose to power because of you. What's the first thing he'll do after he takes power? He'll kill you and your wife. Because as long as you're alive, the fact that he forced you to vote might be exposed, which could shake his position..."

Upon hearing this, Li Lan froze and panicked: "What should I do?"

"It's simple, vote tomorrow, help me!"

Xia Zilong said, "If you pledge allegiance to my grandfather, and he becomes the leader of the sect, he can rescue your wife, reunite you two, and ensure you enjoy wealth and honor within the Holy Sect..."

Li Lan still hesitated, saying, "But even if I vote, your grandfather might not become the leader..."

Xia Zilong said, "Hmm?"

Li Lan said, "Zhuang Shenmo and his grandfather have taken another precaution. They have already sent people to capture Cihang Saintess. They said that as long as Cihang Saintess is captured, the voting results will not matter..."

Upon hearing this, Xia Zilong was immediately shocked and exclaimed, "Saintess Cihang?!"

"Do they know the whereabouts of the Holy Maiden Cihang?"
