Chapter 602: Leave You To It

Hui pushed open the closet doors. They opened high above him, spilling the rooms light over his small head. He took a deep breath. Here we go

Bai Xue glanced over, then squealed and ran over, hugging him tight. Xiao Hui, so cute!

Bai Xue, youre in your male form right now, Hui reminded him.

Can I not find things adorable as a man? Bai Xue admonished him. He released Hui and stepped back, looking over him. He put a hand on Huis head. I knew better than to doubt my Hui. You could indeed become little! And how convincing, how utterly convincing. I cant even sense an active technique when Im this close to you.

Ah thats because theres not, Hui said, scratching his head.

Eh huh? Bai Xue asked.

Hui held out his hand. A tongue of phoenix flame spat in his palm. I used phoenix flame to destroy my old body and create my young body anew from the flames. I am actually a child right now.

You you used phoenix flame for that? Wait, you can use phoenix flame for that? Xiao Hui, the number of people who would give us their life savings for that! Bai Xue exclaimed, leaning closer.

Hui closed his hand, dismissing the phoenix flame as he did soor rather, calling it back inside myself. He shook his head at Bai Xue. Its not as easy as it looks. I have a sort of understanding, shall we say, with the phoenixes. They choose to allow me to use the flame this way. Even then I risk being eternally burned away, or destroyed by this flame, at any moment. Im not sure I can cast it on anyone else safely. Nor nor am I sure it extends lifespan. It may merely offer the appearance of youth.

Bai Xue looked at Hui. He shook his head. Its phoenix flame. Of course it extends lifespan.

Eh? If Elder Brother is so confident Hui hesitated a moment, then shook his head. No, no. I cant become complacent. Even if I can extend my lifespan infinitely with phoenix flame now, Im still in danger of dying at any moment. If an Immortal reaches down from the Heavens again, Ill be just as much a smudge of blood as if I had no phoenix flame!

Complacency is the enemy. I must continue to find more ways to preserve my little life! Principal of which obviously, is to fake my death so perfectly that even an Immortal cant see through it!

Ahh, my death faking technique never perfect, always in need of improvement!

Running a hand down his face, Hui operated his snakeskin technique. His face vanished, replaced by Li Weiqis. He nodded at Bai Xue. Im ready.

Aww, no more tiny Hui, Bai Xue pouted.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Im Li Weiqi. Arent I still adorable? Hui queried.

Not as adorable as tiny Hui, Bai Xue insisted, shaking his head.

Hui sighed. He glanced around. No one stood in their immediate vicinity, the coast clear for now. Shall we go, then?

Kidnapping tiny Hui plan, go! Bai Xue called, laughing. He snatched up Hui by the waist and threw out a sword, leaping atop it as he hurtled into the sky.

Caught, Hui patted Bai Xues arm without trying to escape. Li Weiqi. Im Li Weiqi right now, Elder Brother.

Tiny Hui, Bai Xue replied stubbornly.

The acceleration flatted Hui against Bai Xues chest, and he squinted slightly against the wind before exerting a little bit of his qi to shield himself.

Apologies. Im in my male form right now, so you cant enjoy the sensation, Bai Xue said, patting Huis head.

Hui blushed. Elder Brother! I wasnt thinking that at all. Why did you have to go put that thought in my mind?

Hmm, but this disguise covers my whole body. Maybe I can swap to female form, Bai Xue mused aloud.

Elder Brother, please. What if the pursuers see your body shape change? Wont that be incredibly suspicious? Hui reminded him.

I suppose youre right. Disappointed, Bai Xue sighed.

More and more cultivators leaped out of All-Heavens Sect. They closed in from all directions. Bai Xue shot directly up, holding Hui close.

Hui patted Bai Xue again. Elder Brother, the incense.

What incense? Bai Xue asked.

You know what incense! Hui responded, startled. Did Elder Brother forget? No, no, it couldnt be! Surely hes just teasing! I wont rise to it, I wont rise to it this time!

Flying out of a nearby peak, Li Xiang bared her sword. Catch them!

Li Xiang and Hui made eye contact. Li Xiang nodded, just a little. Hui nodded back. She knows its us. Good. I know I just told her, but but theres no such thing as being sure enough! Especially with such a dangerous maneuver. It would be terrible to die to a friendly hand, terrible indeed!

The cultivators flew toward them. As they flew, they fell into a formation. They bared their swords, then swung them all at once. A constellation of sword lights zipped toward Bai Xue and Hui. The lights twisted and spun together, weaving a nearly impenetrable net of sword light around them.

Bai Xues eyes glittered. He darted at the net, charging into it rather than avoiding it. Calling another one of the chaos talismans to his hand, he thrust his hand at the nearest beam of sword light.

Hui held his breath. Is it going to work against a sword beam this empowered? The spell formation, the multiple sword lights

The sword light dissipated. Bai Xue darted through the hole in the net with a laugh. Xiao Hui, I love this new attack of yours! Youll have to teach me.

Hui narrowed his eyes at him. Bai Xue

Laughing, Bai Xue drew the inch of incense remaining out of his robes. Alright, alright. I wont play any longer if its making little Hui so nervous.

He lit the incense. A heady smoke wafted from the tiny stick, encasing them.

All the cultivators suddenly paused and looked around, furrowing their brows. They looked at the swords in their hands, then at one another. A few started to shrug, while other cultivators dashed to their friends and asked them questions, concern in their voices.

With one last glance back at Li Xiang, Bai Xue dashed away, stealing Hui with him.
