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

Chapter 1988

Now that she's ended up like this, she can only blame herself for being too hasty.

But what she regretted most was not these things, but that Xiao Rong could no longer save her husband, which made her feel extremely distressed.

If only she had listened to Li Lan and waited for him to take action.

It's too late for regrets now; she can only meet her husband in the afterlife.

Just as she was feeling frustrated, the space behind Xiao Rong suddenly fluctuated.

"Who?!"

Xiao Rong thought that Mo Chen had found her location, and immediately wanted to fight him to the death.

But when she saw who it was, she was so excited she almost burst into tears.

"Li Lan, what brings you here?"

"Weren't you still participating in the secret realm trial at this time? And what about my matter...?"

Soon, she laughed at herself.

How could someone as meticulous as Li Lan not have left a spy within the Star Devouring Sect?

It seemed that Li Lan already knew about what she had done, and Xiao Rong felt extremely ashamed.

"Li Lan, I was too impatient. It's all my fault."

"It seems our cooperation has come to an end. I will obey whatever you ask, but I only ask that you let me see my husband's remains after this is done."

Li Lan chuckled lightly, surprised that this woman was quite proactive.

"It's not the worst yet, at least you haven't revealed our true purpose."

"Xiao Rong, how about we make another deal?"

Xiao Rong's beautiful eyes were filled with tears of regret, but upon hearing Li Lan's words, her misty eyes instantly brightened.

"Li Lan, are you still willing to cooperate with me?"

Li Lan didn't want to be dragged down by the woman in front of him anymore.

However, he knew nothing about refining the Heart-Clearing Pill, and he had very few people he could trust within the Star Devouring Sect. Therefore, he had no choice but to propose a new cooperation.

"Don't worry, the original cooperation will remain unchanged. However, you are no longer allowed to act alone without my permission."

"As for the new cooperation, I hope you can help me refine a kind of pill. After it is done, I will naturally give you the corresponding reward."

In the recently concluded battle for the secret realm, Li Lan obtained a considerable amount of spiritual treasures, which allowed him to rival even the wealthiest young men.

However, he wanted to keep these rare and precious items for future use.

Hearing that Li Lan wanted to continue their previous cooperation and was willing to continue to trust her, Xiao Rong had no reason to refuse.

"Li Lan, just tell me. As long as it's within my power, I will do everything I can to help you."

Li Lan nodded, and then said:

"Let's go, let's get out of here first."

"The commotion in the alchemy room has drawn everyone's attention, so it's safe here for now."

Xiao Rong looked at the man in front of her in shock and couldn't help but ask:

"Was that...that commotion just now caused by you?"

As the seventh elder of the Star Devouring Sect, Xiao Rong naturally had good judgment.

That commotion just now was caused by at least a quasi-god level expert.

Adding to what Li Lan had just said, Xiao Rong instantly realized a terrifying truth.

Could Li Lan really be a quasi-god level expert?!

In the past, she might have had some doubts, but after today's events, Xiao Rong would never doubt Li Lan's abilities again.

It seems she'll have to be much more careful in the future, working with someone like this, and absolutely mustn't offend him.

Li Lan did not answer her question, but simply opened a spatial rift and took Xiao Rong away from this place.

The next morning, Li Lan came to Xiao Rong's palace again.

Upon seeing Li Lan arrive, Xiao Rong immediately ran down the steps and tossed him a scroll of medicinal pills.

"This is the recipe for the Heart-Clearing Pill you requested. I obtained it from the recipe provider last night."

Fearing Li Lan's questioning, Xiao Rong added:
