Chapter 608 The Little Bottle

At this moment, the previously arrogant white mist had become unusually quiet.

They seemed extremely resentful of losing their freedom, but couldn't find any way to break the deadlock.

Gradually, the white mist began to settle down, like a stagnant pool, lying quietly at the bottom of the box. Only when it was shaken gently from time to time could one realize that it was not ordinary mist.

As the white fog gradually subsided, the items inside the box that had been covered by the fog finally surfaced.

There was a small, exquisite gourd-shaped glass bottle placed right in the center of the box.

At this point, the stopper was gone, and the bottle opening was wide open, facing upwards.

This small and exquisite bottle is like a piece of naturally sculpted jade, radiating a captivating luster and as clear and transparent as crystal.

Under the bright lights, it shines even more, reflecting circles of beautiful, dreamlike halos.

The once-quiet white mist was now continuously gushing out from the opening of the small bottle.

Because the bottle opening remained wide open, the white mist continued to gather, settle, and gradually become thicker and deeper.

This quickly covered most of the pure black velvet at the bottom of the box, making it almost impossible to discern the original color of the bottom.

"Has so much already flooded out?"

Meros stared at the box in his hand, his brow furrowing slightly as he murmured to himself.

Perhaps upon hearing Melos's words, the ever-flowing white mist suddenly stopped, and then, as if startled, began to slowly converge inward.

"Heh... I didn't expect you to react so quickly. Did I hurt you?"

Witnessing everything that was happening before his eyes, Meros couldn't help but let out a faint laugh, and said with a hint of helplessness.

As if it understood what Meros said, the white mist immediately and rapidly increased the speed at which it contracted.

In the blink of an eye, just a few seconds later, most of the thick white mist that had covered the bottom of the box had been sucked into the small bottle.

However, a small amount of mist still remained at the bottom of the box, as if it were unwilling to leave.

However, no matter how hard the bottle tried, it could not absorb the last bit of mist and could only make a "hissing" sound, as if it was trying to suck in the surrounding air.

Seeing that the bottle was trying so hard but to no avail, Meros finally couldn't help but reach out and gently tap the incredibly sturdy barrier that he had built himself.

A series of crisp, melodious "tap tap tap" sounds rang out, and the bottle, which was focused on absorbing the remaining mist, suddenly trembled violently as if it had been greatly startled.

It happened in the blink of an eye!

The small bottle immediately began to tremble violently, as if it had gone mad.

Its body swayed from side to side, as if it might fall over at any moment.

The series of movements was so large that, in the end, the entire bottle crashed straight into the box with a thud.

And this action and the result were exactly what the little bottle wanted.

After that, the thin mist that was originally stubbornly stuck at the bottom of the box and difficult to be absorbed into the bottle now seemed to have found an outlet and rushed in through the bottle opening.

In the blink of an eye, the mist that had been drawing air from the small bottle vanished without a trace, leaving the bottle lying quietly in the somewhat empty box.

"Knock knock knock—"

Meros extended his finger and tapped the box in his hand three more times.

Each tap was like a message, accurately transmitted to the ear of the small bottle inside the box. (Even though it didn't have ears.)

As the last soft sound faded, the bottle, which had already fallen over, suddenly trembled violently.

Immediately afterwards, the small bottle stood upright in an unimaginable way, as if an invisible force was supporting it and pulling it up directly.

Not only that, after the bottle stood firm, it even carefully moved its body a few times, as if trying to find the perfect position, and finally stood steadily in the center of the box.

"Oh--"

Seeing all this, Meros couldn't help but chuckle, his laughter carrying a hint of barely perceptible satisfaction.

Clearly, he was very satisfied with the scene before him.

Just as the fog completely dissipated, Meros did not hesitate to remove the energy shield that had been covering the area to prevent the fog from leaking out.

"Click-clack—"

In an instant, a crisp sound rang out.

The sound wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear.

At the same time, it was obvious that the small bottle had become much brighter than before, with its brightness increasing by at least two times.

"Tsk, you're happy now?"

Hearing a slight noise coming from the small bottle, Meros couldn't help but chuckle.

He even watched as the little bottle flashed right under his nose, like an LED light.

Just then, a crisp "click-click" sound rang out, which must have been the small bottle responding to Meros's question.

Then came several more continuous "click-click, click-click" sounds, as if the little bottle was talking.

Undoubtedly, it is expressing its agreement with Meros's words in a unique way at this moment.

Seeing this scene, Meros found it increasingly amusing.

He thought to himself, since he had left the little bottle here for so long without paying attention to it, he might as well ask it if it wanted to leave and go out to do something, so as to make amends for its past mistakes.

Alright, since that's the case, and I've left you here for quite a while, how about going out for a stroll now?

So he tentatively began to speak.

As soon as the words were spoken, the small bottle, which had been standing quietly in the box, seemed to be injected with new vitality and began to twist and turn wildly, accompanied by a series of more rapid and loud "click-click-click" sounds.

It was obvious that the little bottle was extremely excited and thrilled when it heard Meros utter those words that could almost set it free.

Perhaps for it trapped here, the outside world is full of endless temptations and attractions, so much so that the mere thought of being able to go out and see what's going on outside is enough to make its heart race and its blood boil.
