The hair-pinning ceremony is held at Hai Zhi Zhu as it is being watched by disciples and guests at the large meeting hall with a large viewing orb.
This orb is being controlled by the Dark Sorceress Yin'an who is sitting next to Ancestor Zu using her illusionary technique. The ceremony is watched by her guardian animals, the Owl as it is transmitted to the large orb for all the eyes can see. Not only they can watch the ceremony, but they can also even hear every single word loud and clear.
Dark Lord An Shenyuan is displaying a rare smile on his face as he watches his wife gently comb through their daughter's long jet black hair as she sits in front of a large copper mirror with pearl-encrusted frame. The Maidens are standing behind the family of three as each of them is carrying a tray each.
Fire Maiden Lu Huo is carrying a golden tray with a pair of exquisite jade bangles on it, one is a red-coloured jade and one is a blue-coloured jade.
Water Maiden Yushui is carrying a golden tray with a waist pendant made from white-coloured jade with a vivid like carving of a dragon and a phoenix on it and, their eyes are embedded with small black-coloured pearls.
Earth Maiden Diqiu is carrying a golden tray with a dagger made from pure silver with the handle and cover made from pure gold. On its handle and cover, there are multi-colour precious stones embedded on it.
Air Maiden Yangzi is carrying a golden tray and on it is a belt made from a black-coloured leather with intricate embroidery made from the rare shimmering multi-coloured peacock thread.
The guests can only sigh in amazement. The Little Ancestor is indeed blessed they thought to themselves.
After Light Mistress Guang Ling finished combing through her daughter's hair, she twisted it to a top knot before a hairpin is being used to hold the hair into its place. The hairpin is made from ivory embedded with rubies and sapphires as its decorations. She gently kisses her daughter's forehead and says, "Happy birthday, An An. Be happy."
Dark Lord An Shenyuan seems to be bowing his head for a brief moment before he looks up and grins. He too kisses on his daughter's forehead before he kisses his wife's cheek. A beautiful necklace suddenly appears in one of his hand. The necklace is made from silver with a medium sized pearl as its pendant. He gently puts it on her.
"Happy birthday, An An. Be healthy."
Young Mistress An Guang smiles and says, "Thank father. The Longevity Pearl is indeed lovely."
Almost everyone gasps when they hear what she has just said. Longevity Pearl? Isn't it one of the magical treasure search by many for more than a thousand years? There is only one available. Wearing it means that the wearer will be able to live a long life as one will never be sick.
This Dark Lord An is too much. The Longevity Pearl belongs to the Heaven Realm. How on earth did he manage to get it in the first place?
Ancestor Zu shakes his head in disbelief, "That stinky brat! Is that the reason why he has gone missing for more than a week? Liang'er has been worried sick when he has just gone without a word."
Dark Sorceress Yin'an calmly eating a piece of peach before she says, "Yes, she is worried sick but you did not help much by telling her that Shenyuan is cheating on her over and over again..."
Ancestor Zu turns his head and looks at her with disgust while the remaining Elders are laughing.
"Shut up, old woman. Keep on eating your fill for free."
"This old woman will, stinky old man. You are, after all, my walking money pouch."
Ancestor Zu grumbles with obvious dissatisfaction. But, everyone is quite surprised that the calculating old man is not doing anything to the Dark Sorceress and even let her stay at his courtyard. Both figures are known to be way older than their youthful appearances.
Ancestor Zu has a rather childish yet boyish charm whereas Dark Sorceress Yin'an has a womanly charm with a babyface look. To the others, they seem to be a tell-tale attraction in between them but they keep on going against each other on a daily basis. For those bitter single dogs, they are thinking that this ancient pair with youthful appearance is quite hateful.
Meanwhile, back in Hai Zhi Zhu, Young Mistress An Guang has now stood up as she is facing her parents, she then gracefully kowtow before them and says, "An Guang thanks both father and mother for loving me. May father and mother be blessed for eternity."
She then stands up while both her hands are supported by the Fire and Water Maidens as her parents watch her with obvious love in their eyes as they smile proudly.
Fire Maiden Lu Huo puts her golden tray on top of the dressing table made from white-coloured jade as she takes a pair of the jade bangles and gently slides both of it onto Young Mistress An Guang's delicate wrists and says, "Lu Huo wishes that young miss will find a partner and will be a happy and beautiful pairing such as this bangles."
Young Mistress An Guang smiles and gently touches on the bangles given by her and says, "Thank you, Huo'er. I wish the same to you too."
Air Maiden Yangzi puts her golden tray on top of the dressing table and walks to Young Mistress An Guang's side as she puts the leather belt on her slim waist. The belt is a contrast against her white-coloured silk outfit but it did not overwhelm it as the material of the outfit itself sparkles as it is hit by the sunlight.
Seems like the silk has silver-coloured specks of dust infused in it despite being so simple in appearance. What they did not know is that the material is not only made from the finest silk but it has been strengthened by diamond specks of dust so that it will be a material impenetrable by any weapon.
Water Maiden Yushui and Earth Maiden Diqiu put their golden trays on top of the dressing table as well before each of them stands on Young Mistress An Guang's left and right sides respectively.
Water Maiden Yushui securely ties the jade waist pendant's string made from golden thread onto an unseen hook at the behind the leather belt on the front left side while Earth Maiden Diqiu puts the exquisite looking dagger on the right side of the leather belt into a small opening with golden chain can be seen hanging on it.
The three of the maidens then says, "We wish that young miss will be prevented from all kind of harms and live a long and happy life for eternity."
Young Mistress An Guang gently touches the belt on her slim waist before she holds onto the waist pendant. She then gently puts it back as she smoothes out her the front of her outfit. She then pulls out the dagger and watches it with a satisfying smile on her face.
"Likewise, girls. All four of you have to work hard all these years. Mother, thank you for the ivory hairpin. I really love it. That precious stones are infused with your sincere wishes for An An. This An An knows well.
Light Mistress Guang Liang smiles as she hugs her, " Agate for courage.
Amber for good luck. Amethyst for love.Freshwater pearl for truth. Garnet for health. Hematite for balance. Lapis lazuli for wisdom. Opal for changes. Peridot for healing. Smokey quartz for protection. Sunshine for cleansing. Tanzanite for intuition. Tiger's eye for clear thinking. Topaz for true love. Turquoise for peace of mind. All 15 of them to mark your fifteen years of living."
Dark Lord An Shenyuan smiles as he puts his hand on his wife's delicate waist before the other hand is gently touching on the ivory hairpin, "Liang'er, I feel somewhat out of place now... Your love for An An is unbeatable."
Light Mistress Guang Liang looks up and says while she is poking her husband's cheek with her finger dainty finger, "Says the one who has gone for one whole week in search of the Longevity Pearl. Husband, in your heart, I am no holds the number one place."
Young Mistress An Guang laughs and throws her in between them as the pair hugs her on the same time to prevent her from falling as both shouts, "An An! Be careful!"
Those who are watching the family of three can only watch in amazement with slight envy. What a loving and perfect family.
