The treasure was already in hand; there was absolutely no such thing as giving it back.
Besides.
The Kirin Heaven-Stepping Boots were one of the treasures kept in the Kirin Immortal Mansion. The Void Mirror had chosen to take them out not only because it valued their ability to ignore all prohibitions under heaven, but even more because it valued the intelligence the Artifact Spirit might bring.
During the Ancient Emperor Era.
At the height of the Kirin Race, they had claimed to possess three hundred Ancient Emperors. Their flourishing might was comparable to the number of True Immortals in the entire Cosmic Sea today, so naturally they had all been familiar with one another.
And since Heaven's Fortune Ancient Emperor had been able to gain an extremely high status within that group, the Void Mirror's immortal spirit had also held a top-tier position among these immortal spirits.
That was why it had spoken of taming the combat boots' Artifact Spirit.
Now that Wang Yu had persuaded it in turn, the Void Mirror's immortal spirit had no choice. It tried transferring a thread of its own origin over, using an aura familiar to the other party to carry out a gentle awakening process.
Sure enough.
In less than half a cup of tea's time, a soft hum like someone waking from a dream drifted out from within. The Auspicious Cloud Pattern on the combat boots lit up, and wisps of white mist seeped from them, condensing in midair into the figure of a little girl around five or six years old.
Her hair was combed into twin ring buns, and a pair of small Kirin horns sat before her forehead. Her gorgeous, intricate dress and mist-like, ethereal immortal sleeves and silk ribbon made her look just like a little fairy.
