The Book Soul Chronicles: Godslayer

Ye Ling stood by the window, gazing at the scenery outside, her mind racing with thoughts of how to face her father, whom she hadn't seen in a long time.

This question had been lingering in her mind, making her feel somewhat anxious and uneasy.

However, just as she was racking her brains, an opportunity suddenly appeared before her—she was about to graduate, and the graduation ceremony was undoubtedly a perfect opportunity.

Before graduation, Ye Ling decided to go back to her hometown to visit her grandparents whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

She knew that her grandparents had always loved her dearly, and that going back this time would surely make them very happy.

When Ye Ling told her grandparents that she was going home to stay for a few days, they were as happy as children on the other end of the phone.

Grandma, in particular, couldn't wait to tell Ye Ling on the phone that they would start preparing a meal as soon as she came home, so that she could have a hot meal as soon as she entered the house.

Hearing her grandmother's words, Ye Ling felt a warm current welling up in her heart.

Although the journey home was long, she was filled with anticipation.

Every time she steps onto this familiar road, she feels an indescribable happiness and anticipation.

This feeling remains so strong even after all these years since she left.

Her mind kept replaying the kind and gentle faces of her grandparents, their faces beaming with warm smiles as they warmly welcomed her home.

Grandma said softly, "We specially made your favorite Gastrodia elata chicken and your favorite cabbage!"

“These are all grown at home, absolutely fresh and delicious. You're such a picky eater, once you get used to this authentic farm-style food, you lose interest in all the pre-cooked meals in the city… Look at our little granddaughter, she's gotten so thin from hunger, come back and have a good meal!”

Hearing these words, Ye Ling felt a warm current surge in her heart, and a rare smile appeared on her lips.

She suddenly realized that she hadn't been truly happy in a long time since she grew up.

Perhaps, as people often say, the price of growing up is exchanging happiness for other things, and as we get older, happiness becomes increasingly elusive.

However, at the same time, Ye Ling also began to have other feelings, such as happiness.

Although she was filled with joy as a child, she knew nothing about the concept of happiness.

Now, as the years go by, she has gradually come to understand that happiness is not just a fleeting pleasure, but a more lasting and profound emotional experience.

Those details of life that she had previously overlooked are now being discovered one by one without her noticing.

These small moments might be the warmth of the first rays of sunlight on your face in the morning, a caring greeting from family, or a sincere hug from friends... These seemingly ordinary moments make up the little things that make up happiness.

Happiness is no longer an abstract concept, but has become increasingly concrete and tangible.

It was like a beautiful painting, slowly unfolding in Ye Ling's heart, with every stroke depicting the beauty and warmth of life.

Often at night, Ye Ling's thoughts would surge like a tide, and she would begin to think about the changes in her mindset at different ages.

Fifteen-year-old Ye Ling may never understand the true thoughts in her heart now that she is in her twenties.

Looking back on her life before she turned 15, Ye Ling seemed to have always been shrouded in hatred.

At that time, she was filled with resentment and dissatisfaction towards certain people, and this emotion eroded her soul like a malignant tumor.

However, everything began to change quietly after she turned 20.

After turning 20, Ye Ling seemed to gradually forget the past, and those deep-seated hatreds were buried deep in her heart.

At the same time, her family suddenly became kind and caring, making her feel warmth she had never felt before.

This change left Ye Ling feeling both confused and gratified. She couldn't understand why time could so magically change everything, allowing her to let go of the burdens of the past and causing such a drastic shift in her family's attitude towards her.

But in any case, she cherishes her current life and enjoys this hard-won family warmth.
