After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 307 Lingbao Yunyao

After a while, Li Xiaoyi slowly opened her eyes from her meditation, and the jade hairpin flew automatically to her back, pulling Li Xiaoyi's hair back to its original state.

This scene left Shen Xu speechless. It was the first time he had ever seen such a delicate hairpin, as if an invisible, skillful hand had expertly tied up Li Xiaoyi's hair.

"Xiao Yi, did you control this?" he asked, puzzled.

"No, it was Sister Yunyao who helped me," Li Xiaoyi said with a smile.

"Huh?" Shen Xu was momentarily stunned.

"Sister Yun Yao is the spirit of this Yun Yao jade hairpin. Shen Xu, you gave me a spiritual treasure."

"Huh? Haha, Xiao Yi, when did you learn to joke with me?" Shen Xu couldn't help but laugh and wave his hand.

"Sister Yunyao said that although you awakened her, she has not paid attention to you because you are not a girl. Since I meet her conditions for recognizing her as her master, she is very grateful to you for giving her to me."

"Hahaha... Don't lie to me, how could Lingbao be in such a godforsaken place?"

"Sister Yunyao said that you not only put her into the Condensation Pool, but also a demon fox statue. She only absorbed about a third of the Yuan Liquid, while the demon fox statue almost absorbed the entire Condensation Pool. Am I right?"

"How did you know!" Shen Xu couldn't help but stand up and take a deep breath. Although he was very unwilling to admit this fact, apart from the fact that there was a spirit inside the jade hairpin, Li Xiaoyi couldn't possibly know about this.

He seemed to have truly missed out on a magical treasure, but the hairpin was indeed a woman's hairpin. Even if it were a magical treasure, he couldn't use it. Giving it to Li Xiaoyi would be a win-win situation.

"If it's not meant to be, don't force it." Shen Xu couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"So be it! Since I've given it to you, it's none of my business anymore." After saying that, Shen Xu sat back down on the bed, somewhat dazed.

“Shen Xu, the value of a spiritual treasure is immeasurable. Apart from the Creation Stone Tablet, only the Sword Saint in the entire Sword Alliance possesses a spiritual treasure, so I cannot return one to you. However, I am willing to help you repay your debt to the Kunyuan Secret Realm. In addition, I can give you a magic weapon. This is the greatest compensation I can give you within my authority,” Li Xiaoyi said with some guilt.

"No need, after all, I'm not selling the jade hairpin to you. Besides, you said that the jade hairpin only recognized you as its master because you met the conditions, which means that this hairpin never belonged to me in the first place."

"You earned its recognition through your talent, so it originally belonged to you. I was just a middleman. I believe you would have gotten this jade hairpin even without me, so it has little to do with me, and you don't need to compensate me," Shen Xu said with a smile.

A melodious sword cry suddenly reached his ears, and then he felt a chill on his neck. "Say it again, is this related to you or not!"

"Of course it's related. I'm the one who gave you the jade hairpin! Can you put down the sword and talk to me properly?" Shen Xu said, forcing a smile.

"I felt a little guilty at first, but now it seems you don't deserve any sympathy at all! And I think this will make you more clear-headed and better think about what to say next to make me forgive you."

"I want to ask you, do you now know all the secrets of that jade hairpin?" Shen Xu looked into Li Xiaoyi's eyes.

"Sister Yunyao knows everything about this jade hairpin!"

"And what about her..."

"I hope you won't ask any tricky questions, because that will only make me think you don't respect our agreement, and how will I dare to believe your nonsense in the future!" Li Xiaoyi's voice grew colder and colder, and the chill emanating from the sword became even stronger.

"Xiao Yi, can you please not know me so well?" Shen Xu felt a little helpless.

After a moment of silence, Shen Xu said, "But I don't know how to do my hair in a bun yet."

"Sister Yunyao said she can teach you." After Li Xiaoyi finished speaking, the jade hairpin in her hair flew to Shen Xu's front.

"Uh...you're really thoughtful." Shen Xu sighed softly.

"Whether you stick your neck out or not, you'll still get stabbed. It's just a hairstyle, it doesn't mean anything." Thinking of this, Shen Xu looked at Li Xiaoyi's loose long hair.

Reaching out and pushing away Li Xiaoyi's longsword, Shen Xu said, "Don't blame me for the ugly result; blame her for not teaching it well!"

"Hiss~" A sudden burning pain shot through his forehead, causing him to instinctively cover it.

“Sister Yunyao said you’re questioning her professional abilities. If you can’t learn it, it must be because you’re too stupid.” After saying that, Li Xiaoyi sat down next to Shen Xu with her back to him.

"My sister said she will only teach you three times, and every time you make a mistake after that, you will experience the same pain you just went through."

Shen Xu looked at the jade hairpin floating beside him in shock. He hadn't realized how the hairpin had attacked him, which meant that the hairpin was capable of killing him. It truly lived up to its reputation as a spiritual treasure.

But before he could snap out of his thoughts, he saw the jade hairpin already weaving through Li Xiaoyi's hair. Li Xiaoyi's high ponytail with the hairpin wasn't complicated, and Yun Yao demonstrated it to him slowly. With his sharp eyesight, he quickly memorized the specific steps.

It has to be said that watching Yun Yao style Li Xiaoyi's hair was a pleasure. The smooth strands of hair brushed against his face, bringing a fragrant scent that made him somewhat swayed.

Just then, another pain shot through his forehead, and Shen Xu glared angrily at the jade hairpin.

"Sister Yunyao said you were distracted. She didn't use much force just now, but she might not be able to next time."

After Yun Yao demonstrated it three times, it slowly landed in his hand, and Shen Xu knew it was his turn. Li Xiaoyi also clearly realized what was about to happen, and his heart began to beat faster.

Taking a deep breath, Shen Xu couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He had never done anything like this before, whether on Blue Star or here, but now that things had come to this, he had no way out.

Slowly reaching out, Shen Xu touched Li Xiaoyi's hair, which was as smooth as black silk. He was reluctant to let go of the soft texture. Li Xiaoyi trembled slightly upon feeling Shen Xu's hand, and then her body tensed up.

Following Yun Yao's demonstration, Shen Xu began to focus intently on Li Xiaoyi's hair. A pleasant fragrance wafted from Li Xiaoyi's hair to his nose, almost making him want to lean closer and take a closer sniff.

Since it was his first time, Shen Xu was afraid of making any mistakes, so he did each step very slowly and carefully. When it was almost finished, he nervously picked up the jade hairpin and slowly tied the remaining loose hair behind his head according to Yun Yao's method.

After finishing, Shen Xu breathed a deep sigh of relief, stood up, and admired his masterpiece from a distance. It looked pretty good, although not as exquisite as Yun Yao's plate, but comparable to Li Xiaoyi's previous craftsmanship.

Li Xiaoyi reached out and carefully touched the jade hairpin in her hair, then said softly, "Although Sister Yunyao said you are not qualified, I think you are good enough. I like you very much."
