Time-traveling island

"Are you Lin An, the one who was protecting my sleeping companion on the island last night with four alien spaceships?"

One of the leaders asked first with a smile.

Lin An was somewhat embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry to have made you all laugh. There was no other way. I knew that the satellites in the sky would definitely discover the island, so I had no choice but to do this."

Fortunately, the alien spaceship still had several usable ships on board, and since the spaceship was anti-gravity, there was no need to worry about energy. So, the landing ships were left to float in the sky as a warning to the world.

A warning to all countries in the world!

Song Quan and the others were shocked.

Is this even human language?

Only a madman or Lin An would dare to warn two hundred countries around the world with just one person!

Another leader nodded in agreement, saying, "With such a treasure, how can you not show your strength? If you don't draw your sword, others will think you're easy to bully. Lin An, you did a great job. Even we were scared. We were worried about this all night! Now that we know that it was us Chinese who obtained the alien spaceship, we can finally sleep well tonight."

Everyone laughed, realizing that the leader was joking.

"Yesterday our satellite detected an impact on the far side of the moon. Was that also because of the spacecraft you have?" another leader asked.

Lin An nodded and replied, "It was me. I tested the power of the landing craft and found that alien technology is indeed impressive, which is why I was able to sleep soundly last night."

The leader chuckled and said, "It's good that the question has been answered. Lin An has accomplished something remarkable these past two days, even inviting several guests from other dimensions. We just learned about it, but we still have many questions."

Lin An then introduced Wang Wanxiu and the others again, and Manager Liu picked up his camera to take pictures, as if it were a meeting between national leaders.

It was more of a grander occasion than international diplomacy, after all, it was the first formal meeting between Earthlings and people from three different worlds.

"An elf, a cultivator of immortality, from the Shun Kingdom."

The leader's gaze swept over them one by one, and he said with a smile, "I have a question. Do the cultivators Su Zhuoyao and Su Zhenzhen, as well as Miss Wang from Shun Kingdom, all speak our language and script?"

Lin Aneng explained, "The alien spaceship shows that these three worlds are similar to our Earth's universe, but what 'similar' means is currently unknown. Perhaps they are related or similar universes."

"I see."

The leader looked at Wang Wanxiu and said, "In that case, Miss Wang is equivalent to our ancestor. But even if we don't talk about that, out of humanitarian considerations, we will still provide some assistance to ordinary people who suffer from war and famine."

Wang Wanxiu didn't understand what humanitarianism meant, but she could tell that this high-ranking official was willing to help them. So she stood up, bowed, and thanked him, saying, "I don't know how to answer your question, sir. The script we use has been passed down from the pre-Qin period to the Han and Tang dynasties. Coincidentally, it is the same as the script used by Young Master Lin."

The crowd found her speech to be classically elegant, not only in her language but also in her demeanor and gestures, which were unlike anything modern people could do.

"Does Miss Wang's world also have the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period, and the Han and Tang Dynasties? Does it also have the Song Dynasty?"

Everyone was interested, but Wang Wanxiu shook her head and said she didn't know about the Song Dynasty; after the Tang Dynasty came the Shun Dynasty.

Two parallel universes require careful comparison to understand their differences; now is not the time to study that.

After replying, Wang Wanxiu sat down again, let out a soft sigh of relief, and asked Lin An in a low voice, "Young Master, did I say anything inappropriate?"

"No, you answered very well!"

Lin An smiled and encouraged her. Wang Wanxiu smiled slightly and then whispered, "That official just now said he would help us, but I'm a little worried about whether it can be accomplished. Please make the decision, young master."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Lin An said.

The leader then spoke with the Su sisters, Su Zhuoyao and Su Zhuoyao, who still only said that they had lived and cultivated in Luofeng Mountain since childhood and knew nothing about the outside world.

Su Zhenzhen added, "Our grandmother once said that humans and us... oh dear!"

She was pinched at the waist by Su Zhuoyao, but everyone was already looking at her.

"Speak freely and boldly!" Lin An encouraged them.

An awkward smile appeared on Su Zhuoyao's face, which was charming yet not vulgar, beautiful yet not seductive. After a while, she stood up and followed Wang Wanxiu's etiquette, bowing and apologizing, "Young master, please don't be offended. Grandma told us not to reveal that we are from the demon race. We had no choice but to keep it a secret. Fortunately, young master doesn't mind..."

"Demons...monsters?"

The crowd's expressions turned somewhat strange, but since they already had elves, it wouldn't be surprising to have a monster from a cultivation world as well.

I just don't know what kind of demons they are, or whether they eat people.

Lin An laughed and said, "Actually, when I heard that you were cultivating in the deep mountains, I had some guesses, but it's alright... I also roughly know your personalities; you're not bad people... or bad demons!"

Su Zhenzhen giggled and said to her sister, "I told you, Young Master doesn't mind, right?" Then she turned to Lin An and said, "We don't call them bad demons, we call them evil demons! There are several evil demons on Luofeng Mountain, and all the little demons who haven't taken human form are afraid of them."

"Evil demon?"

"They eat people, they eat demons, they tear out people's bones and tendons, they extract the souls of people and demons raw—they can be as evil as they want!"

Su Zhenzhen gritted her teeth in hatred, yet her eyes held a hint of fear, showing that she usually dared not provoke the evil demons.

Seeing that Young Master Lin didn't hold it against her, Su Zhuoyao finally felt relieved and said, "Let's not talk about the evil demon. There are good and evil cultivators, and there are good and bad demons. It is our blessing that you have kindness towards my sister and me."

Lin An didn't know what she meant by "good fortune," but perhaps she meant that they had met such a good person as him during their adventures?

He translated what he had just said to the elves.

"Are you beastmen?" Ai Ling asked Su Zhuoyao and the other person curiously.

"What did the young master say?" Su Zhenzhen noticed something was wrong with her eyes and quickly asked.

"They're not beastmen. Demons can transform into anything, some even wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace!" Lin An made up a story off the cuff. In reality, he didn't know whether Su Zhuoyao and her sister were monsters, demons, or something different from what he understood.

"So it was a druid."

Ai Ling said one thing and didn't ask any further questions.

The leader then said, "I agree with Miss Su. For an intelligent race to maintain civilization, it needs to be positive and progressive on a cultural level. Only in this way can a society be sustained. If everyone is a bad person and everyone is selfish, then society will fall apart, and such a society cannot exist."

Lin An pondered the statement carefully and wholeheartedly agreed. As expected of a leader, he had a profound understanding of the issues.

"I don't understand you! What wisdom, civilization, society? Can you say something I can understand?"

Su Zhenzhen's bitter face made everyone laugh. She quickly pulled Wang Wanxiu aside and said, "Sister Wang doesn't understand either! Don't just laugh at me!"

Wang Wanxiu blushed.

"Alright, I'll say it again."

The leader smiled and repeated it in a way that people from ancient times could understand.

Su Zhenzhen finally indicated that she understood and turned to look at her sister, but Su Zhuoyao covered her face with her sleeve, indicating that she was too ashamed to acknowledge her as her sister.
