Xiao Zhuzi took the Time-Space Potion, speechless for a moment. The longing for her parents, the hardships and dangers she had faced over the past few months, the countless times she had brushed against death, and the impending farewell to her good friends all surged to the forefront of her mind. Tears silently streamed down her cheeks.
Xi Xi and Fei Bao moved closer, embracing Xiao Zhuzi tightly. Their eyes were also misty; no words were needed for them to understand each other's feelings. Although they were saddened by their friend's imminent departure, they felt a deeper joy for Xiao Zhuzi finally being able to return home.
As the emotions of the three little ones began to settle, Dragonfly Elder gently cleared his throat. He carefully retrieved the Small Horn Time-Space Spiral Gem from his drawer, its mysterious and enchanting glow shimmering in his hand. Dragonfly Elder walked slowly toward Xiao Zhuzi, who was wiping her tears, and gently handed her the Little Gem.
“Xiao Zhuzi,” Dragonfly Elder said softly, “after my careful study of the Ancient Texts, I can confirm that your guesses are correct.” He paused for a moment, his loving gaze sweeping over the three children’s faces. “It is indeed the existence of this Little Gem that has caused the Time-Space Turbulence, triggering the spiral effect of Time-Space Distortion.”
Seeing Xiao Zhuzi, Fei Bao, and Xi Xi exchanging surprised yet proud glances while sniffling, Dragonfly Elder couldn't help but chuckle. He continued, “Xiao Zhuzi, I hope you can take this Little Gem with you to the Human World.”
“Ah?” Xiao Zhuzi's eyes widened in surprise. “But, Dragonfly Elder, if this gem can cause Time-Space Distortion, won't it be dangerous to bring it to the Human World?”
Dragonfly Elder shook his head with a smile. “Don't worry, child. Only when both large and small Time-Space Spiral Gems exist in the same world will they create a Time-Space Spiral Effect. If this Little Gem remains in our world, we won't be able to fundamentally resolve the issue of Time-Space Distortion. However, in the Human World, this gem will exist uniquely and independently without causing any time-space problems there.”
Xi Xi gently patted Xiao Zhuzi's shoulder and said with a smile, “That sounds great! You can take this gem back as a souvenir from your time-traveling adventure. Whenever you see it, you'll remember all our adventures together…” As Xi Xi spoke, her nose tinged with emotion again, her voice trembling slightly.
Xiao Zhuzi carefully accepted the Little Gem from Dragonfly Elder's hand and looked up at him. “Thank you, Dragonfly Elder. I will cherish it! Also… before drinking the Time-Space Potion, I would like to return to Grass Leaf Forest to say goodbye to Wise Snail Village Chief and my good friend Hua Hua. Is that okay?”
Upon hearing Xiao Zhuzi's request, Dragonfly Elder's expression suddenly froze. He recalled how Captain Chi Ying had reported on the Grass Leaf Forest Defense Battle when the Crimson Eye Bee Special Forces returned not long ago and had sadly mentioned that Hua Hua had sacrificed herself in that battle. This devastating news weighed heavily on Dragonfly Elder's heart.
Dragonfly Elder opened his mouth several times but could not bring himself to speak this cruel truth. Looking into Xiao Zhuzi's innocent and hopeful eyes, he sighed deeply, a hint of undeniable sadness flashing in his own.
“Alright, child,” Dragonfly Elder finally said gently. “Let Fei Bao and Xi Xi accompany you back to Grass Leaf Forest. Once you say your goodbyes and drink the potion to return to the Human World, Fei Bao and Xi Xi will head back to Xian Cao Garden.”
Fei Bao and Xi Xi immediately nodded in agreement. Xiao Zhuzi looked gratefully at Dragonfly Elder and her two friends. “Dragonfly Elder, I also want to say goodbye to you formally. Thank you so much for all your help.” The little girl’s eyes sparkled with tears as she continued, “If it weren't for you finding a way for me to return to the Human World and thoughtfully arranging for Fei Bao and Xi Xi to accompany me in search of Moonlit Sky Herb while painstakingly creating the Time-Space Potion… I might never have been able to reunite with my parents.”
With that said, Xiao Zhuzi stepped forward and hugged Dragonfly Elder tightly. “I will never forget you or everything about Xian Cao Garden.”
Wiping away her tears from the corners of her eyes, she bowed deeply to Dragonfly Elder before turning to face Fei Bao and Xi Xi who were waiting nearby.
“Let’s set off!” Fei Bao exclaimed excitedly. “I can't wait to continue our adventure!”
“Last adventure begins now!” Xi Xi cheerfully echoed as her little antennae waved happily.
The three friends waved goodbye to Dragonfly Elder before bouncing down the path toward Grass Leaf Forest, their figures gradually disappearing on the distant horizon.
Dragonfly Elder stood by the window watching their retreating silhouettes with a heart full of concern.
