Your Face is Too Close!

Unconsciously, Lin Shuang suddenly realized that she had been holding Acheron's hand for too long.

Just when she was about to let go, when she looked up, she was shocked to find that Acheron's face had appeared very close to her without her noticing.

The tips of their noses seemed to be touching each other, and the hot and humid breath fell on Lin Shuang's face through her nose, making her feel slightly itchy.

So close?

Lin Shuang clearly remembered that the two of them were standing not far away, but their faces were not so close.

This is almost a kiss.

She didn't move herself, so Acheron approached her on her own initiative, taking advantage of the time when she was thinking about something.

Wasn't it Acheron who came over on her own initiative?

Then I'll give you a kiss, okay?

Just as Lin Shuang's thoughts were wandering, she met Acheron's eyes.

Because she lowered her head, her eyes, which were originally covered, were revealed through her scattered bangs.

When the pair of eyes met, she blinked twice innocently, as if all this had nothing to do with her.

It was as if the action of lowering her head was not done by her.

Before Lin Shuang could complain, Acheron raised her head as if nothing had happened and distanced herself.

Not only did they distance themselves from each other, but she even tried to turn the tables.

"Why do you suddenly want to see the ring you gave me?"

"…Just taking a look."

Lin Shuang curled her lips and brushed the question aside.

Seeing that Acheron had no intention of withdrawing her hand, Lin Shuang did not plan to let go either.

Immediately.

A small ball of blue-green flame emerged from Acheron's left hand.

Although it looked like a flame, it did not transmit any temperature. Lin Shuang looked at the ball of flames curiously.

"Is this the Heliobus you captured? It doesn't look that strong. Does it have a lot of energy reserves? I asked Fu Xuan before I came here. The size of the flame that the Heliobus manifests is directly proportional to his strength."

"Is that so?"

Acheron tilted her head slightly, then thought about it.

"When I first encountered it, it seemed to be quite large... but after it came out of my body, it became smaller. But the overall feeling I had didn't change much. Why don't you try it first? If it doesn't work, I'll catch some more for you to fuse next time."

Acheron's words sounded too matter-of-fact, as if she was going out to the backyard to catch a grasshopper. This made Lin Shuang a little nervous, and she pinched Acheron's fingertips.

"A Heliobus is not so easy to come across, and a powerful Heliobus is even harder to find. It's better not to take risks. They become stronger by devouring other Heliobus."

Cirrus, who has a name and is powerful, was able to rival General Jing Yuan for a short time, while Phantylia, who is known to be still on the run, is even more so as a Lord Ravager, an Emanator of Destruction.

They are all players of the same level, so it won't be so easy for Acheron to deal with them.

Lin Shuang didn't want Acheron to cause trouble for the Emanator for this reason.

Even if you want to go, you have to find a good time.

For example, illusion, illusion, and illusion...

The thought of being able to eat an Emanator would be a huge success.

"It's not that difficult."

Acheron's response was brief and powerful, her tone full of confidence.

But Lin Shuang was still not reassured.

But she also knew that people like Acheron were the hardest to persuade in the field in which she was most proud.

Let's put this topic aside for now, and Lin Shuang chose to take out a small translucent bottle made of crystal-like material from her pocket.

"What is this? You aren't going to use that card?"

Acheron touched the exquisite small bottle with her hand out of curiosity. She thought it would be the same card as last time, but unexpectedly, it was replaced by a small bottle this time.

These two appear to be using two completely different processes.

"There's only one card of that kind, and it can't hold living things. This is called a Blank Full Bottle, and it's more suitable for storing energy sources."

"But I'm not sure if the Heliobus can get in."

Lin Shuang twisted the cap of the full bottle while giving a simple explanation.

As soon as the Blank Full Bottle approached the Heliobus, it automatically activated and began to emit a not-so-strong suction force, trying to suck the defenseless Heliobus into the bottle.

The flames turned into threads and sank into the full bottle. Soon, the white transparent bottle was gradually dyed blue-green.

However, the flames seemed to have no end and began to surge wildly, growing larger and more vigorous.

The agitation of energy even gradually became violent and vigorous!

Boom—boom—

The roar of rising flames, accompanied by air waves, began to stir between the two people, disordered vibrations, heat and cold, electricity, light, etc. ... The chaotic forms of energy turned into visible forms and spread wildly.

The blue-green flames grew larger and larger, and at one point expanded to the point where they almost swallowed up the entire ruins.

But soon it shrank and weakened rapidly due to the absorption of the full bottle.

Acheron watched as the Heliobus, floating in her palm, was bottled during the riot.

The spreading energy did not disturb her. Acheron only felt that Lin Shuang could always take out some magical little props.

In Acheron's perception, the Heliobus's enormous power seemed to be compressed and all concentrated in this small bottle.

Even the leaked part was mostly condensed on the bottle, turning into an opaque blue-green shell on the bottom, top, and mouth of the full bottle.

At the same time, a flame logo appeared on the bottle.

The flame gradually went out until the last trace of flame sank into the bottle, and the bottle was completely filled.

The system even popped up a prompt:

[Blank Full Bottle (imitation upgraded version) upgraded to: Heliobus Full Bottle]

['Dangdangdang—The quality of the item has been improved, and the Heliobus Full Bottle has been upgraded to green quality.']

Lin Shuang looked at the system prompt but didn't pay much attention to it.

However, it was a bit unexpected that this could actually improve the quality.

As the Heliobus was sucked into the Full Bottle, Lin Shuang could even clearly feel that the small bottle in her hand had become a little heavier.

Acheron picked up the bottle curiously and looked at it carefully. It looked like just an ordinary small bottle.

She didn't even feel the presence of the Heliobus in the bottle.

"Is this, like, the card, inserted into your great sword?"

Acheron returned the full bottle to Lin Shuang, and Lin Shuang held the bottle and gently twisted the bottle mouth:

"It can indeed be stuffed into the great sword, but... I remember it can be used directly?"

As she spoke, Lin Shuang gently shook the full bottle a few times.

Then, a very mysterious force began to flow through her body along the full bottle, and blue-green flames spread across her body.

The body could withstand it, and this power was indeed much more stable than the Stellaron.

The nature of energy is always unpredictable, sometimes emitting light and sometimes discharging electricity, which is in line with the characteristics of a Heliobus.

It's just that Lin Shuang couldn't control this kind of change. She could only enjoy the random changes of gambling.

After trying for a while, Lin Shuang gave up using this method directly. This method was completely inefficient and could not be precisely controlled.

What a waste.
