Lin Wanyue rode Lin Diaodiao and had a wild time in the Heavenly Realm, visiting some places she used to like to stay.

However, she had spent far too long in the heavens—tens of thousands of years—enough time for her to have thoroughly examined all the magnificent palaces and pavilions. No matter how beautiful the celestial realm was, it was already a scene she knew all too well.

It is beautiful, but it lacks that captivating vibrancy.

"Sigh..." This reminded Lin Wanyue of the days she lived in the Lin family. The family was noisy and argumentative, and they were all working hard to earn more money. The aroma of food coming from the kitchen seemed to be more tempting than fine wine and delicacies.

Lin Wanyue leaned on Lin Diaodiao's head, and Fuyun drifted by them. "Diaodiao, shall we go see our brother and parents? And Laifu and the others too? We left in such a hurry that we forgot to leave them anything for self-defense."

Lin Diaodiao nodded obediently, then plunged headfirst down from beneath the floating clouds, plummeting straight down at great speed, with the wind howling.

However, Lin Diaodiao suddenly stopped her rapid descent and abruptly stopped on a white cloud.

When Lin Wanyue looked up, she saw her father Lin Yanping's clone standing on the white cloud.

"Wanwan," Lin Yanping looked at Lin Wanyue with a serious expression, "Where are you thinking of going?"

"..."

They got caught!

Lin Wanyue felt her face getting hot, so she smiled and said coquettishly, "Dad, I just wanted to go down and see how my brothers are doing. I'll be back soon."

Lin Yanping remained silent for a while before saying, "Go ahead, go ahead. I knew you were a loyal and righteous person, and you definitely wouldn't give them up so easily."

"Thank you, Dad!" Lin Wanyue shouted happily, and then quickly hugged Lin Diaodiao and jumped down to the human world.

Lin Yanping stood still, and Feng Yanwei walked up behind him and sighed, "Although she has been a goddess for so many years, Wanwan is still a child after all... When I was looking at her in the Water Moon Mirror, I saw that she was doing well in another world, but she was not happy in this world."

When Lin Wanyue lived in the 21st century, everything was convenient for her. With her ability to see ghosts and her superb Taoist skills, even making money, which was the most difficult thing, was just a piece of cake for her.

But she lived in the villa and rarely went out. She had no friends and, apart from her wealthy father with whom she wasn't very close, no relatives or lovers.

But when she arrived at that poor little mountain village, where there wasn't much money or many good days, she met many friends, even those who weren't human, who were willing to be her friends.

There are also her relatives who are willing to protect and cherish her.

"Hmm..." Lin Yanping knew this all too well. After a long while, he said, "Just keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't get hurt."

After saying that, he stopped caring about the matter and let Lin Wanyue go down to the mortal world to play.

...

Lin Wanyue brought Lin Diaodiao to the top of the capital city. Looking at the Lin family not far away, she couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia.

"Wait!" She reached out and hugged the fluffy Lin Diao Diao tightly. "Looking like this, will they even recognize me when we get back? Never mind, I'd better not scare them."

Lin Diaodiao stirred in her arms, retracting its nine fluffy and beautiful tails, transforming into an ordinary little sable, nestled in Lin Wanyue's embrace, just as before.

Lin Wanyue immediately laughed. With a sway of her skirt, she transformed from a young and beautiful goddess into a little girl of only five years old. She was still wearing the light purple embroidered dress she had worn when she went to heaven, and a string of small golden bells adorned her head, which made a crisp tinkling sound when she shook her head.

Lin Wanyue appeared at the Lin family's gate in the blink of an eye. As she walked toward the gate, she saw a man with a full beard come out from inside.

"Also?" The man's voice was deep and resonant. He glanced at the little girl and said, "Little girl, whose child are you? What are you doing at our doorstep?"

Lin Wanyue looked up at the plaque above the courtyard, which indeed read "Lin Family Residence." She replied crisply, "I am the daughter of this family. I'm home."

"Little girl, you can't just lie and deceive people like that! This is my home, how come I don't recognize you... You are, are you Wanwan?" The bearded man looked Lin Wanyue up and down, and suddenly became agitated.

"Yes, yes, it's a duck!" Lin Wanyue nodded obediently.

The bearded man blinked and tears immediately streamed down his face. "Little sister! You're finally back! Your second brother has missed you so much!"

Lin Zheyun wiped away her tears, hugged Lin Wanyue tightly, lifted her high, and looked her over carefully again, her tears flowing even more profusely.

How could he be so blind as to not recognize her? Isn't this his adorable little sister?

What?!

"Second brother? How come you've grown so ugly? And so tall and big!" Lin Wanyue would never admit that she hadn't recognized the bearded man as her second brother either.

Lin Zheyun: "..."

I can hardly believe what I just heard. My sister actually said he's ugly?

What's ugly about him?

He has such a beautiful beard!

Even among civil officials, there are very few with such a magnificent beard as him!

However, Lin Zheyun felt that his younger sister was probably too young to appreciate him, a handsome man who was both scholarly and martial. He said angrily, "Wanwan, have you forgotten your second brother? You actually waited two whole years to come back to see us, and you... why are you still so small? Did you go to heaven with your grandfather and not get any food? You've stopped growing taller."

Lin Wanyue: "..."

Lin Wanyue: "I think I can still offer an explanation."

How could she forget that a day in heaven is a year on earth?

She only took a couple of casual strolls in the sky, but two whole years had passed on Earth.

My parents, grandma, and brother must all be missing me, right?

Lin Wanyue felt a lump in her throat and a slight urge to cry.

Before she could even cry, Lin Zheyun had already picked her up and rushed into the yard, excitedly shouting, "Grandma, guess who's back!"

"It's our little sister back!" Lin Zihan and Lin Ziqiu heard the commotion and ran out to see what was happening, only to find Lin Wanyue being held in Lin Zheyun's arms.

Lin Wanyue was exactly the same as when she left, still with that fair, tender, and sweet appearance.

Liu Junlan and Xuefu burst into tears the moment they saw her, and rushed over to hug her tightly. "Wanwan, why are you so late? Grandma and Mom missed you so much!"

Lin Wanyue also missed her family, but in her opinion, she had only been away from the Lin family for less than two days, so she wasn't actually that sad.

Lai Fu heard the Lin family crying outside and thought something had happened, so he quickly came through the wall and saw Lin Wanyue smiling at him.
