Side Story: Back to the Modern World



After Shu Lan and Qin An became Daoist partners, the entire continent returned to peace, and demonic cultivators and Daoist cultivators lived together in harmony.

Now, when demonic cultivators meet Taoist cultivators on the street, they will even greet each other.

As for encountering evil demonic cultivators or Taoist cultivators, people showed no mercy and formed a cultivators' alliance to jointly punish these bad apples.

As a result, the security of the entire continent has been improved.

The Demon Palace became Shu Lan and Qin An's second home. When Shu Lan got tired of staying at Tinglan Peak, Qin An would bring Shu Lan to the Demon Palace and take her to play in the Demon Realm.

Shu Lan and Qin An also frequently traveled across the continent, leaving their traces in many places throughout the land.

On this day, Qin An suddenly had a whim. He remembered what his master had told him about his world on their wedding night. So, he begged his master to take him to see his world.

"Master brother, please take me to see your world! Please!" Qin An started using his coquettish charm again. Shu Lan was most unable to resist this move, so she gave in. "Okay, okay, I'll go inform the Book God and we'll all make preparations in advance."

When he left the Book God's space, the Book God Fei Yuan had already given him a communication jade slip. This was no ordinary communication jade slip; it was a communication tool that could transcend time and space and directly contact the Book God.

Shu Lan activated the jade slip with her divine sense, and then used her mental power to imprint her words on it. It was nothing more than her desire to take Xiao An back to her own world, so that the Book God could make preparations in advance.

Fei Yuan, who was bored in the Book God Space, was dozing off when suddenly he was jolted awake and quickly took out the communication jade slip he always carried with him. "Oh! My master sent me a message! I'd better check it out."

After listening to the message in the jade slip, the Book God Fei Yuan became extremely focused, determined to do his best to complete the task entrusted to him by his master.

The Book God Fei Yuan located the portal to Shu Lan's previous world and then worked diligently to adjust his divine power, manipulating time and space between the two worlds. Once everything was ready, the Book God Fei Yuan immediately sent a message to Shu Lan, indicating that he was ready.

After receiving the message from the Book God Fei Yuan, Shu Lan quickly took Qin An back to Tinglan Peak and went to his room.

Shu Lan took Qin An's hand, and with her other hand, she channeled spiritual energy into the Immortal Traces Visualization Diagram. She then ran her fingers along the diagram, circling it three times clockwise. This was something the Book God Fei Yuan had instructed her to do: as long as she channeled spiritual energy into the diagram, made this gesture, and grabbed the person she wanted to bring in, the diagram would transport them all into the Book God's space.

The next moment, the painting of the immortals flashed with light, and Shu Lan and Qin An disappeared instantly.

Immediately afterwards, Shu Lan and Qin An felt the space shift, and when they opened their eyes, they were already in the Book God Space.

Upon seeing Shu Lan, the Book God Fei Yuan was very excited, "Master... cough cough! You've come!"

Shu Lan nodded, but Qin An looked at the Book God Fei Yuan and asked, "Master, is this the Book God you were talking about?"

"That's right!"

"Is this what he looks like? Isn't he just a little kid?" Qin An said with a hint of sarcasm.

The young Book God Fei Yuan was furious. Even though Qin An was once his senior master, he didn't want to forgive him!

That annoying senior brother actually called him a little brat! Unforgivable!

"Hmph!" Book God Fei Yuan snorted angrily, turned his head away, and never wanted to see Qin An's hateful face again.

"Alright, alright, stop talking." Shu Lan gently tugged at Qin An's sleeve, signaling him to stop. Qin An obediently shut up and stopped commenting on the Book God Fei Yuan.

"This is the gateway to your previous world." The Book God Fei Yuan waved his hand, and a spacetime vortex suddenly appeared in the Book God Space.

Immediately afterward, the Book God Fei Yuan handed Shu Lan a small, exquisite mirror. "This is a Time-Space Mirror, corresponding to the entrance to your current world. Once you arrive in that world, if you wish to return to this world, simply infuse your spiritual power into this Time-Space Mirror."

Shu Lan took the Time-Space Mirror and nodded knowingly. Then, pulling Qin An along, she stepped into the Time-Space Vortex.

Shu Lan and Qin An felt a dizzying sensation, and after what seemed like an eternity, they finally felt their feet touching solid ground.

Shu Lan slowly opened his eyes, and the scene before him shocked him. The familiar desk, the familiar bed, and the familiar large bookshelf—this was clearly his old room! Everything told him one thing: he, Shu Lan, had truly returned!

"Master, where is this place?" Qin An's sudden question broke the silence.

Shu Lan then came to her senses. "This is my old room. This is the world I told you about before."

Qin An nodded and began to scan the room. The next moment, Qin An's gaze focused on a point on the desk.

It was a photograph, quietly placed on the desk.

Qin An slowly walked over and carefully examined the photo. The person in the photo looked about six or seven parts like his master, except that the person in the photo had short hair, while his master had long hair.

"Is the person on this... Master Brother?"

Shu Lan walked over at this moment, and he also saw the photo. "That's right, that's me from back then."

Having undergone a purification of his marrow, reincarnation, and years of cultivation, Shu Lan's appearance is now significantly more handsome than before. Fortunately, the Book God still has a conscience and has preserved Shu Lan's original features. Those familiar with him can still recognize him from his facial features.

"Master brother, what's wrong with your hair on this..." Qin An looked conflicted.

"Pfft!" Shu Lan was amused by Qin An's conflicted expression. "I know what you want to say. You mean it's strange, right? After all, my hair is so short in this picture."

Qin An nodded quickly, but there was still some doubt on his face.

So Shu Lan cleared her throat and briefly recounted the history of their country to Qin An.

Qin An suddenly realized, "Oh! So Master's short hair is a symbol of progress?"

“That’s right!” Shu Lan nodded with satisfaction.

After staying in the room for a while, Shu Lan prepared to go out. After all, she hadn't been back for a long time and didn't know how things were at home.

As soon as Shu Lan pushed open the door, she heard a high-pitched female scream: "Ah—"
