Days later, the three members of the Ground Sky Squad finally caught sight of the familiar outline of Xian Cao Garden in the distance. Fei Bao's eyes sparkled with excitement, and his wings flapped with renewed vigor. When they reached the entrance of Xian Cao Garden, the Bee Guards stared in astonishment at the three ragged, dusty little creatures with radiant smiles, momentarily mistaking them for stray bugs. After confirming their identities multiple times, the Bee Guards were taken aback and hurriedly opened the gates for them. 0
 
As the trio approached the council hall of Xian Cao Garden, they found Dragonfly Elder waiting for them by the Grass Bridge. The moment Fei Bao saw Dragonfly Elder, all his strength crumbled away. "Grandpa!" he choked out, rushing forward and leaping into Dragonfly Elder's embrace. Dragonfly Elder smiled warmly, wrapping his large golden wings around his grandson and gently stroking his back. 0
 
Xiao Zhuzi and Xi Xi were surprised to see Fei Bao trembling slightly, as if he were sobbing. The brave and strong Little Dragonfly, who had led them through their journey, finally shed all his armor and became a child again, crying in his grandfather's arms. 0
 
Once his emotions settled a bit, Fei Bao wiped his tears and glanced shyly at his companions. Xiao Zhuzi and Xi Xi exchanged knowing smiles before stepping forward together toward Dragonfly Elder. "Dragonfly Elder, we’re back!" Xi Xi looked up at the kind elder, her voice catching as she recalled their hardships during this time. "I completed the task you gave me without letting Xiao Zhuzi get hurt!" 0
 
Xiao Zhuzi placed a hand on Xi Xi's back, gently patting her a few times as she smiled and said, "Dragonfly Elder, we found Moonlit Sky Herb! And we also brought back a small Time-Space Spiral Gem that we weren't sure how to handle." With that, she carefully retrieved the Little Gem and a small jar containing Moonlit Sky Herb from Xi Xi's backpack, presenting them to Dragonfly Elder with both hands. 0
 
Dragonfly Elder accepted these precious items from Xiao Zhuzi and examined her over the top of his Golden Reading Glasses. The bright-eyed girl before him had not only tanned during their adventures but seemed to have grown taller as well. More importantly, her eyes sparkled with courage and confidence—so different from the little girl who had cried about missing her parents just two months ago! 0
 
A smile of satisfaction spread across Dragonfly Elder's face. "Well done! You children are truly remarkable!" His loving gaze swept over the three little ones. "Come on; let’s go upstairs. You need to tell me all about your adventures!" 0
 
That day, the three little ones animatedly recounted their extraordinary experiences until the moon hung high in the sky; even dinner was enjoyed in Dragonfly Elder's office. It wasn't until he urged them to rest for the third time that they finally yawned and returned to their respective rooms. 0
 
In the following days, a lighthearted atmosphere filled Xian Cao Garden. Xiao Zhuzi, Fei Bao, and Xi Xi could finally lay down their burdens and relish this rare leisure time. They played joyfully in the garden—sometimes hiding among giant dandelions in games of tag or splashing in the clear dew ponds; at other times, they climbed tall grass stalks to admire the picturesque scenery around them. 0
 
Meanwhile, Dragonfly Elder embarked on a daunting task of his own. He locked himself away in his office filled with ancient books and mysterious potions, researching day and night. The Moonlit Sky Herb was exceptionally rare and hard-won; he had to handle it with utmost care. Following the meticulous instructions from Ancient Texts, he proceeded step by step through a complex concoction process. 0
 
Finally, at dawn on the fifth day, as the first rays of sunlight streamed through the window panes, Dragonfly Elder successfully created the Time-Space Potion! He gazed at the small vial glowing with an ethereal blue light and wiped sweat from his forehead. This Time-Space Potion represented years of wisdom and essence from all of Bug World and held Xiao Zhuzi's hope of returning home. 0
 
Dragonfly Elder immediately sent someone to summon the three little ones to his office. When they pushed open the door, they were stunned by what they saw: Dragonfly Elder's usually tidy office was now cluttered with strange instruments and scattered books, filled with an unusual fragrance. 0
 
"Grandpa! Your office has been... ransacked?" Fei Bao exclaimed as he looked around. 0
 
Xiao Zhuzi shot him an exasperated glance. "Fei Bao, could you think before you speak? How could anyone possibly rob this place?" 0
 
Dragonfly Elder stood behind an old oak leaf desk, shaking his head with a wry smile as he spread his wings to beckon Xiao Zhuzi over. "Child, come here." 0
 
With a mix of apprehension and curiosity, Xiao Zhuzi stepped forward. Dragonfly Elder picked up the small glass vial from the desk and solemnly handed it to her. "This is the Time-Space Potion that will send you home; just drink it, and you will reunite with your parents in your Human World." 0
