Alex mulled for just a second before deciding on what he was going to do. He grabbed hold of the girl's head and tilted it a little to pour some water into her mouth.

The water remained in her open mouth, refusing to go in. Her throat was entirely closed, so if they tried to do anything else, she might end up swallowing the water into her lungs.

That would cause another issue entirely.

Alex had to use his Qi in this case. He reached for the tiny bit of Qi within him and used it to create a path for the water to go into the girl's stomach. Once she swallowed the water, Alex poured some more and made her swallow that too.

However, when he tried to do it the third time, the Qi dissipated entirely, disappearing from her body.

Alex quickly took back the bowl and looked in confusion. 'What? That's so soon. How did the Qi disappear so quickly?'

For an Immortal Qi, it couldn't have become unusable so easily when it was clearly being used for such a simple purpose. In a regular place, this could have continued for minutes without showing any sign of failing. And yet, just three seconds after being used, it had failed.

'Damn it!' Alex thought. Hell was a truly frustrating place.
