Chapter 812 Axin, this is for you.
Mu Xin's eyes fell on them and he forced out an awkward smile: "It's so sudden, they came so suddenly."
There was a barely perceptible hint of disappointment in his voice.
Leng Yue gave a helpless smile and agreed in a low voice: "Yeah, what a coincidence."
There was a flash of regret in his eyes, and the courage he had finally mustered was instantly shattered by this sudden change.
He secretly marveled in his heart at the wonder of this fate, wondering why it was interrupted at this crucial moment.
Just then, several men's voices came from a distance, with some concern and ridicule.
"You two, stop running around and be careful!"
A man in a green robe walked over quickly, with a heroic look on his face.
"That's right, you started crying after falling down, and you'll need us to comfort you again later." Another man in black tights added with a smile.
His voice was low and magnetic, with a playful smile on his face.
In his hand, he was playing with a jade pendant, on which was carved a lifelike dragon that seemed ready to take off into the sky at any time.
Mu Xin glanced at these people and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "They seem to have a really good relationship, it's really lively."
A hint of envy flashed across her eyes, but was quickly replaced by a hint of loss.
She lowered her head, sighed softly, and whispered: "Forget it, Leng Yue, let's not think about this for now."
"Let's go back and prepare. In a few days, we will set out with Chen Yin and the others to other realms to look for her mother."
As she spoke, she reached out and smoothed the hair around her ears that was messed up by the wind.
Leng Yue heard Mu Xin's words, nodded, and responded in a low voice: "Well, you are right."
His gaze still stayed on Mu Xin's face, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but the atmosphere at the moment was obviously not suitable.
In the end, he just sighed softly and swallowed the words he hadn't said.
The two walked out of the garden side by side and headed towards the city along a bluestone path.
The flowers and plants on the roadside swayed gently in the breeze, and the air was filled with a faint floral fragrance.
The mountains in the distance look particularly magnificent under the setting sun, like a beautiful painting.
The streets are still bustling with people coming and going.
Mu Xin and Leng Yue walked in the crowd, but seemed a little silent towards each other.
As he walked, Mu Xin's attention was attracted by a jewelry shop.
A string of wind chimes is hung at the door of the shop. When the breeze blows, the wind chimes make crisp sounds.
The shop windows are filled with all kinds of jewelry.
There are exquisite hairpins, gorgeous necklaces, beautiful bracelets, exquisite bangles, and rings inlaid with gems, each of which exudes charming light.
Mu Xin stopped and his eyes fell on a yellow hairpin.
The hairpin is a warm yellow color all over, like amber dyed by the sun, emitting a soft and dazzling light.
The hairpin is slender and has a phoenix with its wings spread out, ready to fly, carved on the top.
The phoenix's feathers are layered, and each piece is carved with extreme precision, as if they would flutter in the wind if touched lightly.
The phoenix's eye is inlaid with a small red gem, like a drop of solidified blood, revealing a sense of mystery and nobility.
The end of the hairpin is decorated with a few tiny yellow crystals.
The crystal stone flickered faintly in the sunlight, like a star fallen to the earth, shining with the wings of a phoenix.
Mu Xin's eyes flashed with amazement, and she couldn't help but exclaim softly: "This hairpin... is so beautiful."
Leng Yue heard Mu Xin's praise and followed her gaze and saw the hairpin.
A hint of tenderness flashed across his eyes for a moment, and he asked in a low voice: "Do you like this hairpin?"
Mu Xin nodded, still not moving her eyes away from the hairpin: "Well, it's very beautiful."
Leng Yue's gaze lingered on the hairpin for a moment, then turned to Mu Xin: "Since you like it, buy it."
Mu Xin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then shook his head with a helpless smile on his face.
"Forget it. I remember this hairpin is the treasure of this store. It's very expensive. I'd better keep the spirit stones to buy cultivation resources. I can't spend them carelessly."
Her fingers lightly touched the window glass, her fingertips moving along the outline of the hairpin, as if this would allow her to remember its beauty in her heart.
Leng Yue looked at Mu Xin's appearance, and his heart seemed to be touched slightly.
He didn't say anything else, just patted her on the shoulder and walked straight into the store.
Seeing this, Mu Xin hurriedly followed and tried to hold him back, but it was too late.
Leng Yue stood in front of the counter and looked at the owner calmly: "Boss, I want this hairpin."
His voice was calm, yet contained a certain unquestionable toughness.
The owner was a middle-aged man, wearing a simple yet elegant robe, with a shrewd and sophisticated look on his face.
When he heard Leng Yue's words, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he showed a warm smile.
He introduced it nonstop: "Sir, you have good taste! This hairpin is the treasure of our store, named 'Phoenix Singing in the Ninth Heaven'."
"It was carefully crafted by Master Xingran, a famous weapon refiner from our Yunluo Continent, over a period of five years."
"The hairpin is made of thousand-year-old yellow chalcedony, which is not only hard but also can nourish the wearer's spiritual power. The phoenix's eye is inlaid with a rare red bloodstone, which can enhance the wearer's fire attribute spiritual power."
"The yellow crystal at the end of the hairpin is a 'starlight stone' mined from the ice veins in the far north. It can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and help the wearer practice."
After listening to the store owner's introduction, Leng Yue remained calm and asked calmly, "How much?"
The shop owner smiled and held up two fingers: "Twenty million low-grade spirit stones, no bargaining."
When Mu Xin heard the price, he took a deep breath.
She quickly pulled Leng Yue's sleeve and whispered, "Leng Yue, forget it, it's too expensive. Let's go."
Twenty million low-grade spirit stones was undoubtedly an astronomical figure for her.
Leng Yue seemed not to have heard her words. He just took out a storage ring from his arms and threw it to the shop owner.
"There are 20 million low-grade spirit stones in here, please count them."
The shop owner took the storage ring and scanned it with his spiritual sense.
After confirming that it was correct, the smile on his face became even brighter, almost reaching his ears.
"My Lord is really straightforward! This 'Phoenix Singing in the Ninth Heaven' is yours from now on."
As the shop owner spoke, he carefully took the hairpin out of the window and handed it to Leng Yue respectfully with both hands.
Leng Yue took the hairpin, turned around and looked at Mu Xin, with a faint smile in his eyes: "Xin, this is for you."
