Chapter 379: Deep Vial

Chapter 379: Deep Vial

Hui laid there in the liquor, slowly leaking qi. He closed his eyes. Hey, Healer

Hold on, Healer muttered, distracted.

Hey, whats the rush? You getting drunk? Might as well, right? Hey, dont die of alcohol poisoning, Rogue teased, laughing.

Awkward silence. All the Huis sat there silently, not sure what to say.

At last, Hui sighed. Rogue

Fuck, come on. It was a joke. Cant we laugh about it now? It was a whole lifetime ago! A lifetime!

Silence.

I found one. Here, Sectgoer! The node buzzed. Hui opened his hand, and a small vial fell into his palm.

Good to know we can send things into this weird twisted space, Hui commented.

Ah hey, thats a good point, Healer said. Next time, mention that before I send an expensive item to you, alright?

Yeah, yeah, Hui muttered. He uncorked the vial. Liquor began spiraling into the small vial. Slowly, the jar emptied. Hui sank down in the jar until his feet hit the floor, then stood. A little bit of liquor sloshed around at his knees. He knelt and lowered the vial to the bottom of the bottle, draining up every last drop of the liquor.

Excellent. Now we have Hui-flavored liquor, Rogue pointed out.

Anyone need a few spirit stones? I know at least one person wholl buy that, Peak Lord joked.

Thats disgusting. Even Bai Xue doesnt want that, Healer argued.

Are you sure? Hui asked.

Healer sighed. No.

Should we preserve this? If we open any of the other liquor bottles, we wont have pure Hui-flavored liquor any more, Rogue asked.

Hui covered his ears. Please stop saying that. Im going to puke.

Anyways, lets shut up before Sectgoer kicks us out of chat again, Healer suggested.

Standing in the empty bottle, Hui looked around. He pasted a void talisman on the glass and backed away.

The talisman went off. The glass shivered, but held.

Hui pressed his lips together. He leaped off the floor and flew into the sky, slamming his fists into the cork. It shifted slightly, but remained in place.

Hmm. Okay. So the bottle is strong, too.

Healers voice echoed in Huis ears. What if you sent the bottle through the node?

Will that work? Isnt that cheating? Peak Lord asked, confused.

It isnt cheating if it works, Hui thought. He pressed his hand to the bottle and activated the node.

The bottle trembled. Qi poured out of Hui. Is the liquor still getting me somehow? Or is this just

The bottle vanished. Hui stumbled forward and fell to his knees, out of breath. just how much qi it takes to move something that large and high-realm?

So what am I supposed to do with this? Peak Lord asked.

Leave it on the peak somewhere, I guess. Youre the one who has a whole damn mountain to store things on, Healer pointed out.

Holding back the urge to retch, Hui uncapped the vial. Instantly, the liquor began to spiral down into the vial.

Nooo, our Hui-flavored liquor! Peak Lord cried.

Id like to request, yet again, that you never say that again, Healer replied.

The woman paled. What are you doing? Give me back my wine!

Hui leaned to the side, dodging the dead bodies as they dropped with the draining liquor. He leaned against the wall, disgusted. Still, he forced himself to grin triumphantly. Your liquor is all mine, and theres nothing you can do about it!

He watched Zhubis bottle, holding his breath. Come on. Put it down, put it down. You have to put the bottles down to stop me!

The giant woman scowled. Letting go of the second bottle, she grabbed the bottle Hui was in and smashed it against the shelf. Shattered glass and liquor went flying everywhere. If I cant have it, no one gets it! she growled.

Hui covered his head with both hands. His eyes flashed. He activated the movement technique, and time slowed. Leaping from glass shard to glass shard, he deftly dodged the corpses and ran up toward the womans arm.

Fine, dont set Zhubis bottle down. Ill come to you!

Hui jumped from the last shard of glass to the neck of the bottle, then raced over the womans hand and up her arm. I need someone elses qi. Someone!

Dammit fine! Rogue sent his qi to Hui.

A rush of heat blasted over him, and Hui took a deep breath, quickly circulating the qi. Alright. Alright. Get to that bottle, and

The womans brows twisted. Hey! Clumsily, she swiped at Hui with Zhubis bottle.

Zhubi rattled around inside, his eyes rolled back.

Hui leaped into the air and slapped his hands onto the bottle. The bottle vanished for a moment, then reappeared around Hui. Liquor sloshed around him again.

Unhesitatingly, Hui yanked the vial open. Liquor spiraled down into the vial.

Stop that! the woman snarled. She shook the bottle.

Hui and Zhubi smacked against the walls of the bottle. Hui braced himself and reached his arm out to Zhubi. Zhubi, here!

Zhubi wriggled to Huis side, then shrank and wrapped himself around Huis arm, vanishing into his sleeve.

Alright. Now, to get out

Wait.

A cute voice sounded in his head, this time without the reverb. Hui glanced around, startled. Huh?

Stay in the bottle. If you can trick her inside, I can seal her in there, the cute voice whispered.

Why should I trust you? Hui asked, frowning at the giant woman standing over him. I dont feel like trusting women with cute voices right now.

Shes my heart-demon. If you seal her, I might be able to escape this space at last.

Hui jolted. Will you help me fight All-Heavens?

I will return the favors I am owed.

Thats not an answer, but its the first time Ive gotten anything vaguely positive from a mysterious senior. Ill have to take a few gambles if I want to beat All-Heavens! Hui took a deep breath. Anyways, it helps me, too, if I manage to seal this giant snake-stealing woman!

Give me back my wine! the woman shouted, shaking the bottle vigorously.

Hui braced himself against the bottle and held up the vial. I have it all right here. You want it? Come get it!
