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

Zhu Shengyu sat silently in the alchemy room, not disturbing Qing Nangzi's preparation of medicine.

At this moment, Li Lan couldn't help but glance at her again. After a moment's thought, he said, "Miss Zhu, I am about to die. I wonder if the light of nothingness I saw on my deathbed is real or illusory? Is there any good plan to turn death into life and bones into flesh?"

He suddenly spoke, startling everyone. Liu Guiyuan, who was currently circulating his internal energy to repair himself, hurriedly rebuked him, "Yang Yin, do you want to die? How dare you make a racket in front of the Goddess?!"

"Shut up."

Zhu Shengyu spoke coldly, and Liu Guiyuan said, "Did you hear that? Even the goddess says to shut up..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind swept over him, and a crisp sound rang out on his face, followed by a burning pain. Liu Guiyuan was stunned.

What's the situation?

"I told you to shut up."

Zhu Shengyu gave him a cold look.

Liu Guiyuan trembled instantly, filled with fear. What was happening? This goddess had actually slapped him?

He dared not react and could only lower his head.

Ling Xuewei, who was standing next to her, was also somewhat surprised.

Zhu Shengyu looked at Li Lan, her beautiful eyes filled with an unprecedented seriousness, and said, "You don't want to die?"

It's like asking an idiot!

Li Lan sighed and said, "The essence of human nature is simply the desire to survive. Once you understand life, how can you not fear death?"

Zhu Shengyu stared at Li Lan and suddenly said, "I have a method that may save your life after you recover from the illness. Come with me."

Upon hearing this, Liu Guiyuan and Ling Xuewei were even more shocked. What was going on?

Why was Yang Yin able to win the favor of this goddess?

Under their puzzled gazes, Li Lan had already followed Zhu Shengyu into the inner chamber of the alchemy room.

As soon as they entered, she waved her hand, and a light barrier formed, enveloping the two of them to prevent others from spying on them.

Zhu Shengyu's face was extremely solemn as he stared at Li Lan and said, word by word, "What...what is your relationship with my clan's God Lord?!"

The reason she brought Li Lan here alone was because she could hear the secret language unique to the Zhu family in Li Lan's words!

...On the verge of death, one sees a light of nothingness, indistinguishable from reality, unpredictable and elusive. Only the absence of death can transform death into life, and bones into flesh...

This is the core secret of their clan's highest lineage, known only to a select few at the very core.

But Li Lan was clearly just a piece of trash captured from the mortal world, how could he possibly know that?

The only possibility is...

Their clan's former founder, the supreme deity!

That god-lord was once glorious in the divine realm, and was even regarded as the most likely to break through to the god-king realm. However, he was defeated and demoted in that great battle, and even the Zhu clan did not know his whereabouts.

The reason why the Zhu clan fell so low, from being a glorious divine race to needing to marry Li Daozhi, a person from the Primordial Emperor Star, lies precisely in this.

But now, from Li Lan's few words, she keenly sensed the existence of the God Lord, so how could she not be excited, how could she not be solemn?

Li Lan looked at her calmly and said, "Senior Wusi once issued a decree that all members of the Zhu clan must bow down to me and swear eternal loyalty. You were unaware of this before, so you are not guilty. But now, you should pay your respects!"

Li Lan stood casually with his hands behind his back, but Zhu Shengyu's expression changed drastically.

Upon seeing this person, one must bow down and pledge allegiance.

She asked in a deep voice, "Our clan has not seen our ancestor for countless years, nor have we ever heard of him issuing such a decree. Since you have seen our ancestor, do you have any tokens or proof?"

Li Lan said, "My presence here is the token, and my words are the proof."

A faint aura suddenly emanated from his body.

This energy was extremely faint and light, almost imperceptible, but Zhu Shengyu instantly felt a chill run down her spine. All the energy and techniques within her body seemed to have stopped operating. An instinctive intuition told her... to immediately bow down!
