Not noticing the disbelief in Hu Lijing's voice, Long ZhenHai smiled to himself, icy blue eyes peering at the shimmering headdress in his hands, seemingly pleased with him.

"Yes! It is for Jing'ge." Enthusiastically, the dragon nodded, head bobbing as his hair shook with his movements. "It is for you. Isn't it beautiful?" He couldn't help but ask, smiling widely with his canines clearly visible.

Hu Lijing stared at the headdress.

Indeed it was beautiful.

Hu Lijing's breath fell short as he pursed his lips, eyes cast down as a shadow fell over his features and his eyelashes trembled, tremors wrecking through his body as he tried to compose himself.

Taking a step away from Long ZhenHai, Hu Lijing bowed his head, steeling himself, he willed for his voice to not tremble.

Clenching his fists on his sides, Hu Lijing raised his head, blinking away the moisture gathering in them as he frowned.

"I don't want it."
