Ling Xiao plucked the hairpin from Song Mingyue's hair, then gathered his focus and surged his body's True Essence into it.
"Ah... Don't!"
Song Mingyue cried out in a panic. She thought Ling Xiao was angry about what she'd said and was about to destroy the hairpin. It was the first gift he had ever bought for her, and if he destroyed it, she would be heartbroken for a long time.
But in the next moment, she witnessed an incredible sight. The hairpin didn't shatter under Ling Xiao's power; instead, it burst with a brilliant radiance! In that instant, Song Mingyue was sure her eyes were playing tricks on her. From the bright red fire bird on the head of the hairpin, she thought she saw the massive illusion of a fire bird take flight!
