Sky Curtain: With a vermilion mirror, Jing travels through the modern world, shaking all dynasties.

The Great Tang Dynasty, Taiji Palace.

Li Shimin looked up at the sky, his brows furrowed in horror.

"Father! That iron bird is so majestic!" Little Sizi raised his arms high, excitedly pointing to the sky. "Riding the clouds and mist, I've only ever seen it in picture books!"

Li Shimin stood up, holding the little rhinoceros tightly in his arms, and paced back and forth, saying, "Even the legendary Kunpeng is probably no more than this."

Wei Zheng stepped forward, bowed deeply, and said solemnly, "The Kunpeng is an ethereal and unseen creature, but the giant steel bird of later generations truly soars through the sky!"

After a long silence in the hall, Li Shimin slowly sat back on the dragon throne and sighed, "According to what Jiang Chuan said, this bird can actually carry people inside its belly. I really want to go up there myself and see this wonder of later generations."

The Great Ming Dynasty, Fengtian Hall.

"Is this the 'airplane'? It can actually soar ten thousand miles into the sky! It would be a great regret of my life not to be able to see such a divine object with my own eyes!" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, his eyes burning.

Jiang Chuan's words about "manned aircraft" were already firmly etched in his mind, but he never imagined that such a thing actually existed!

Seeing this, Empress Ma gently comforted him, "Chongba, why be so sad? Don't you still have Jing'er? Father and daughter are of one heart. She has seen it for you, just as you have seen it with your own eyes."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's lips twitched slightly. "I really wish I could switch places with her! Let her sit at this desk and review imperial edicts, so I can experience the wonders of later generations!"

modern.

Zhu Jingjing gently shook Jiang Chuan's arm and said coquettishly, "Brother, when are you going to take me to see that giant steel bird?"

Jiang Chuan gave a bitter smile.

The airfare isn't the main concern; it's just that going on a plane for no reason is a complete waste of time.

Zhu Jingjing then said, "Brother, you promised me that you would take me to experience the feeling of flying."

Hearing this, Jiang Chuan sighed helplessly, "Didn't we agree that I'd take you with me when I go on my business trip next month?"

Zhu Jingjing released her grip, pouting, "When will that be...?"

Jiang Chuan gently patted her back and said softly, "It's getting late, we should take the cable car down the mountain."

After the two of them descended the mountain and drove into the city, Jiang Chuan's phone suddenly rang.

"It was Xiaoyu calling." Jiang Chuan pressed the speakerphone button and casually placed the phone in the phone holder.

"Jiang Chuan! Where the hell have you been?" As soon as the call connected, Lin Xiaoyu's furious roar came through the phone and exploded in the car.

"Why are you so angry? Are you going through early menopause?" Jiang Chuan frowned slightly, retorting without backing down. "I'm taking Jingjing out to play, do I have to ask you for permission to go anywhere?"

"You're the one going through menopause! I'm worried you'll lose Jingjing, is that wrong?" Lin Xiaoyu retorted coldly.

The little princess, already used to their verbal sparring, excitedly leaned close to the phone and exclaimed, "Sister Xiaoyu, my brother took me to the Dragon Palace, and then he took me hiking!"

"Jingjing, how was your time? Did you have fun?" Upon hearing the little princess's voice, Lin Xiaoyu's tone softened instantly, her words filled with doting affection.

Regardless of whether she could see it or not, Zhu Jingjing nodded vigorously, "Happy! It would be even happier if Sister Xiaoyu hadn't come!"

Hearing this, Jiang Chuan curled his lip. "Jingjing, your sister Xiaoyu isn't very bright to begin with. If you keep sweet-talking her, won't you really turn her into an idiot?"

"Jiang Chuan, do you dare say that again?!" Lin Xiaoyu's roar echoed throughout the carriage. "Sky Curtain: Taking Zhu Jing on a Tour of Modern Times, Shaking the World": Explosive word-of-mouth, rave reviews!

"Alright, let's get down to business." Jiang Chuan quickly changed the subject, afraid she'd explode if they continued. "Why did you call me? You didn't just want to argue, did you?"

"Who cares about arguing with you! When are you getting home?" Lin Xiaoyu asked.

Jiang Chuan glanced at the time and replied, "I'm taking Jingjing out for a meal. We should be back in about two hours."

Lin Xiaoyu shouted, "No! Go home! Now! Immediately!"

Jiang Chuan was taken aback and asked, "Xiaoyu, you're not going to be waiting for me at my doorstep, are you?"

From the other end of the phone came Lin Xiaoyu's voice, filled with gritted teeth, "Now that you know, why don't you come back right now!"

The Great Ming Dynasty, Fengtian Hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were filled with melancholy as he slumped onto the dragon throne, sighing, "That brat Jiang Chuan! He's keeping me in suspense again. When will he finally allow me to glimpse the contents of that steel behemoth?"

Upon hearing this, Empress Ma covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "Chongba, you're quite impatient, just like a spectator waiting for the opera to begin!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback, then quickly denied it solemnly, "I was merely curious about that giant steel bird and wanted to see it as soon as possible to see if my Great Ming could replicate it. How did it become watching a show!"

Empress Ma chuckled inwardly, but did not expose him. She simply said gently, "Since Jiang Chuan said next month, let's wait patiently!"

modern.

"Jiang Chuan, you're finally back!" Lin Xiaoyu crossed her arms, leaning against the doorframe, her tone tinged with reproach. "You really made me wait this long!"

"You didn't tell me beforehand, and you just showed up all of a sudden. You asked for it if you have to wait a long time!" Jiang Chuan retorted without any politeness.

Lin Xiaoyu glared at him fiercely, then walked straight to Zhu Jingjing, took her little hand, and said, "Jingjing, let's go eat. Let's ignore your silly brother!"

Zhu Jingjing's gaze darted back and forth between the two, her young face filled with conflict, unsure of which one to follow.

"Brother..." she called softly after a moment, her voice gentle and sweet, "Come on over!"

"Since your sister Xiaoyu dislikes me, then let's skip it." Jiang Chuan rolled his eyes and sighed with feigned melancholy. "Jingjing, you guys go ahead. I'll just go buy a pack of instant noodles later."

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoyu stopped and turned around, saying irritably, "Stop pretending to be pitiful. If you want to come along, hurry up and get over there, or Jingjing and I are really leaving!"

Jiang Chuan chuckled and immediately followed. "Xiaoyu, did you ask me to come along?"

Lin Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at him and didn't argue anymore.

"Brother, is that instant noodle you mentioned good...?" Zhu Jingjing walked to Jiang Chuan's side and gently tugged at his sleeve. "Jingjing wants to try it!"

Jiang Chuan and Lin Xiaoyu exchanged a smile. This little princess, who lives a life of luxury every day, actually became interested in a packet of instant noodles!

"Jingjing, instant noodles are a good thing, but they can't compare to your meals!" Jiang Chuan affectionately rubbed her head and advised.

Zhu Jingjing scratched her head gently, her lips slightly pouting, "Brother, I just want to try it!"

Lin Xiaoyu looked at Jiang Chuan and asked, "What do you mean? Are we really going to eat instant noodles at home?"

After a moment's hesitation, Jiang Chuan clapped his hands and said, "Let's go buy some instant noodles right now! I've heard of a fancy way to eat them, let's give it a try!"
