Luo Bai spread his hands, feigning nonchalance, and said, "Very good."
"And you?"
“I’m doing very well, I have my parents and my older brother.”
"Aren't you planning to ascend back to the realm of gods?"
Xiao Wanwan had never thought about this. In the mortal world, she had loving parents, several brothers who protected her, and now she had a sister-in-law.
She cherished her days in the mortal realm, and even felt a little... reluctant to leave.
"I don't want to go back. I like the days when my parents are together, and I like the feeling of having family."
"But the alignment of the nine stars cannot be without you."
Thinking of those close friends who had shared life and death, Xiao Wanwan felt a surge of emotions.
Yueyun came over at this time as well. "Ziling, what Luobai said is right. The alignment of the nine stars cannot be without you, and the divine realm cannot be without you either."
"With your abilities, ascending again would be a piece of cake."
She could sense Wanwan's powerful spiritual energy.
The gods also gave instructions and guidance.
“Ziling, you have done so much for the God Realm. The God Realm owes you. You should come back and enjoy the offerings of mortals.”
"Yes, Ziling, come back?"
Xiao Wanwan was slightly moved by everyone's persuasion, but when she thought of her parents in the mortal world, her eyes became even more determined.
"The divine realm can still rule the three realms even without me, but my parents cannot live without me."
Seeing this, Yueyun continued to persuade, "Then... are you really willing to abandon... us...?"
Xiao Wanwan understood the meaning behind Yueyun's words and glanced at him out of the corner of her eye.
"Yueyun, I want to fulfill my filial duty as a child."
"You know, I am an orphan with no parents. I have finally experienced what it feels like to have parents. I don't want my parents to bury their child, and I don't want them to worry themselves sick."
Everyone sighed. Seeing that Xiao Wanwan was determined to do so, they could only feel sad in their hearts. After chatting with her for a while, Xiao Wanwan descended to the mortal realm.
The next day.
Xiao Wanwan was walking down the street when she saw a legless beggar kneeling by the roadside, banging on his bowl and chopsticks at her.
I couldn't help but stop in my tracks.
Upon seeing this, Bai Lu immediately whispered a few words in Xiao Wanwan's ear, and only then did Xiao Wanwan look at the beggar's face.
Lin Shih-hsuan?
"Miss, let's leave. This place is unlucky!"
After hearing this, Xiao Wanwan nodded in agreement, "It really is bad luck."
Lin Shixuan looked up, both embarrassed and numb, wondering which young lady had stopped beside him.
After all, the only people who usually mocked him were those wild children and a few men.
Some daughters of officials would avoid him when they saw him.
But when he looked up, a stunningly beautiful, unfamiliar face came into his view, and he was stunned for a moment.
What a beautiful woman, gentle yet lively.
Moving closer to her, one could tell she was dressed in an expensive gown, clearly the daughter of a noble family.
His fingers, gripping the bowl and chopsticks, turned blue, yet he had no choice but to accept his current predicament.
"Wanwan, what are you doing here?"
A man in white was casually looking at an account book at the doorway in the distance. When he looked up, he saw Xiao Wanwan and couldn't help but call out to her.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wanwan immediately smiled, turned around, and waved to the other person.
"Brother Qian Shu, it's me."
The boy immediately turned around, went back to the shop to put down the account book, and then ran to Xiao Wanwan.
With an upright posture and gentle eyes, he asked, "Are you out shopping?"
"Yes, in a few days it will be the day my second brother marries his wife. I'm preparing a gift for her."
What did she say back then? "Second Brother, it really wasn't easy for you to marry this woman."
He only got married at twenty-two, tsk tsk...
Yao Qianshu's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"Wanwan, just go to my shop, pick whatever you like, and put it on my tab!"
The generous Yao Qianshu waved his arm, which amused Xiao Wanwan.
"Hehe, Brother Qian Shu, do you still think of me as the person I was when I was little?"
I used to trick him when we were kids, but I wouldn't dare do that now, because...
"Yao Qianshu, you get the hell over here!!"
Before I could finish thinking, a loud voice rang out from afar.
Yao Qianshu stiffened and said to Xiao Wanwan, "That wasn't calling me, there's someone... with the same name..."
No sooner had he finished speaking than his ear was grabbed.
"Ouch...it hurts...Mommy, please be gentle..."
"You still feel pain?" The lady was wearing a pleated, auspicious-patterned moon dress with a red ribbon on her arm. "Didn't I call you? Are you deaf or have you lost your mind?"
"What's wrong? Your eyes are glued to any pretty girl you see..."
"Wanwan?" the woman exclaimed in surprise, "How is it you?"
Xiao Wanwan smiled and said, "Hello, Sister-in-law Yunshu."
Wei Yunshu quickly let go of Yao Qianshu's hand and said awkwardly, "Why didn't you say you were coming? Come in and sit down."
"We came out to inspect the shops today, and since it was lunchtime, we ate at the shops before leaving."
"Why don't you stay and have a meal with us?"
Xiao Wanwan quickly waved her hand to refuse, "No, Sister-in-law Yunshu, I still need to buy a gift for my future sister-in-law."
"Is that so?" Wei Yunshu looked regretful. "What a pity."
"It doesn't matter. My second brother is getting married in a few days. I'll have Brother Qian Shu take Sister-in-law Yun Shu to the wedding banquet."
"Okay, okay, it's settled then."
The engagement between Wei Yunshu and Yao Qianshu was also because General Yao was afraid that Yao Qianshu would actually marry a maid as his wife.
So when Yao Qianshu was ten years old, a marriage was arranged for him, and Yan Ming was told that if he dared to run away from the marriage, he would die on the wedding day.
Yao Qianshu was afraid that his father would do something foolish, so he agreed to the engagement.
Not knowing who his fiancée was, and later developing feelings for Wei Yunshu, he risked losing his father to confront General Yao in the study.
