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

The clothes he was wearing were brought back from the Ziwei Star Region, and they were indeed inappropriate.

--Without "them", Li Lan could do whatever he wanted without any scruples on Earth today, without having to hide himself. But now, Li Lan does need to lie low.

Reintegrate into society, secretly investigate, first find out the existence of "them", and then find a way to destroy them.

Otherwise, it will always be a threat.

He arrived at a large clothing store, first obscuring the camera's view, and then went inside. After all, he had only altered the lighting to make himself invisible to the naked eye, but the camera could still capture him.

He casually grabbed a few outfits and quietly entered the fitting room.

"Not here! It's too dangerous..."

"Danger is what makes it interesting! How exciting it is to be in a fitting room!"

Several fitting rooms away, Li Lan overheard a couple whispering, which left him with mixed feelings. Earthlings still have such creative ways of doing things.

He shook his head, found a suitable set of clothes, and then secretly took some cash from the cashier before leaving.

This time, he finally appeared openly on the street, dressed casually, indistinguishable from the people around him.

"Go home first!"

He couldn't wait and drove straight to the car rental company.

Li Lan could certainly use magic to get there quickly, but he warned himself that he must try his best to hide before finding those beings.

Every detail can become a flaw, and only by persisting in doing things small day after day can one truly and thoroughly integrate oneself into the vast crowd.

Moreover, he is quite nostalgic and is reliving everything he experienced on Earth.

Driving the rented car, he cruised around freely, enjoying the breeze, the car stereo playing the year's popular music, and occasionally taking a sip of iced cola—it was incredibly refreshing.

There are joys in being an ordinary person.

"Seventeen years in total, according to my calculations..."

Li Lan sighed softly, "This is the time for me to leave Earth!"

The Earth has undergone earth-shattering changes in the past seventeen years, while Li Lan's seventeen years have been filled with countless life-and-death battles and dramatic transformations.

He was fortunate that seventeen years was not a long time, and his parents should still be alive. Otherwise, if he had waited until his parents passed away before returning home, it would have truly become his eternal regret.

……

Two days later, he finally arrived in the city where his home was located – Nancheng.

Today, there are no longer any nationalities on Earth. Everything is managed by a global alliance, which is divided into major regions such as Asia and the Americas. The alliance has branches in each region to handle regional affairs. As a result, society has undergone tremendous changes.

But for ordinary people, the impact is not significant; it's still the same routine of going to school, finding a job, getting married, and having children.

Nancheng was originally a third-tier city, but it has become part of the big city amidst its rapid expansion.

Upon entering the southern district, a sense of unfamiliarity washed over him. Few of the familiar buildings from years ago remained; the entire city had undergone a dramatic transformation. He managed to find his old neighborhood based on his memory, but was left puzzled.

His old neighborhood, with its towering 30-story residential buildings, is gone. In its place lies a secluded cluster of villas, surrounded by snow-white walls, beautiful gardens, and strict security, indicating that this place must now be a gathering place for the wealthy.

Has the neighborhood been demolished?

This is possible.

"This place... does have some spiritual energy gathering."

With his cultivation level, Li Lan could tell at a glance that this area was located within the Southern City's earth veins. Since the Earth's spiritual energy was already thin, this place was slightly richer.

No wonder it was demolished; there must be some powerful figure in the government who has their eye on this land...

He planned to check the records to see if he could find out where his parents had moved to.

"Let me in! I want to go home! Why won't you let me go home?"

Just as he turned to leave, an old voice suddenly came. Li Lan felt it was familiar. He turned around and saw an old man scavenging for scraps, about to rush into the villa area, but several security guards stopped him.
