Chapter 340: Chapter 337: I Have Special Escape Techniques

At this moment, Feng Hao was completely dumbfounded.

He didn’t know what other elemental essences were like, but one thing was for sure: his fire seed had truly become sentient!

Seeing Feng Hao’s dumbstruck expression, Three-second Fire urged impatiently, "What are you spacing out for? Switch it back! What’s so interesting about these pictures of people jumping around?"

"What the hell do you know? This is a martial arts movie, okay?" Feng Hao said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"I don’t care! I want to watch the other thing. You’re my host now, so you have to be responsible for me."

Feng Hao’s face darkened. "Get lost! You’re not even a person, what could you possibly understand?"

"Tch. Isn’t it just the reproductive process of you mainstream lifeforms? Who says I don’t understand?" Three-second Fire sneered. "When I get the chance, I’ll find a female fire seed to bring back and broaden your horizons."

"What the—? Fire seeds have males and females?" Feng Hao’s mouth twitched.

"Obviously! We fire seeds are lifeforms on the same level as you humans. Whatever you have, we have," Three-second Fire said proudly.

Feng Hao paused, finding it incredible. "You’ve got to be kidding me. Looking like that, how do you... do it?"

"Can you use your brain for a second? The flame form is just my true body. After evolving to the initial stage, I can already transform into a humanoid Spirit Body," Three-second Fire said with contempt.

As it spoke, before Feng Hao’s astonished eyes, the flame quickly transformed into a Little Fireman, which actually looked kind of cute.

"Damn, it really can turn into a person." Feng Hao smacked his lips in amazement. "Hey, this form is much easier on the eyes. Just stay like this from now on."

"Fine. Since I’ll be out and about with you, a humanoid Spirit Body is indeed more convenient. It’s just a little weird," Three-second Fire agreed reluctantly, then started clamoring again. "Right, hurry up and switch the screen back! I haven’t seen enough yet!"

"Stop messing around. I’m busy with important stuff. I’ll let you watch to your heart’s content when we get back," Feng Hao said with a helpless laugh.

"Okay, okay! You carry on," Three-second Fire said, satisfied.

Shaking his head, unable to decide whether to laugh or cry, Feng Hao went back to recording the martial arts movie.

...

Time slipped by, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.

After three sleepless days and nights of effort, they finally finished imprinting all the footage from the epic-level hard drive. By this point, both Feng Hao and Solos were physically and mentally exhausted.

After transferring the recently exchanged jade slip books to Solos, Feng Hao exited the Taichu Secret Realm.

Back in Five States City, all Feng Hao wanted was to get back to the sundry shop and rest. But Three-second Fire had become inexplicably excited. It was curious about everything it saw, shouting and hollering, asking about this and that the whole way, giving Feng Hao a massive headache.

"Can’t you just shut up for a little while?" Feng Hao grumbled, his face dark as he drove the Mansa.

Three-second Fire said, looking displeased, "Hey, buddy, it’s my first time leaving the Secret Realm! As my master, you should at least show me around, right?"

"There’ll be plenty of time for that later. Right now, I just want to get some damn sleep," Feng Hao said irritably.

"Sigh... being a human’s lackey really means you have no rights at all~!" Three-second Fire lamented tragically.

"You weren’t a person to begin with, so what ’human rights’ are you talking about?" Feng Hao smirked, pushing the Mansa to top speed.

After returning to the sundry shop, he quickly sorted the imprinted Crystal Cards, then collapsed onto his bed and fell fast asleep.

When he opened his eyes again, it was early the next morning.

Just as he was about to start his money-making plan, he discovered that Three-second Fire was missing from his sea of consciousness. Shocked, he hurriedly used his Divine Sense to contact it. "Where did you run off to? Get back here now!"

"What’s all the shouting for? I’m watching a beauty bathe. You go back to sleep," Three-second Fire replied impatiently.

"Hey, give you an inch and you take a mile, huh?" Feng Hao flared up, but then quickly grew puzzled. ’Wait a minute... where would there be a beauty around here?’

"There’s one upstairs next door, isn’t there?" Three-second Fire responded, surprised. "By the way, isn’t this your turf? How could you not know?"

"Next door?" Feng Hao froze. He suddenly realized something and his face paled in horror. "You’re not fucking peeping on Xue Xiaoyun bathing, are you?"

"Who cares what her name is? As long as she’s a beauty," Three-second Fire said lewdly.

"..." Feng Hao was speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Get your ass back here right now! If you want to see beauties, I’ve got plenty here."

"Tch, how can those recordings compare to a live performance?" Three-second Fire scoffed, but then its expression suddenly changed. "Oh no, I’ve been discovered!"

With that, it fled back with a WHOOSH and hid in Feng Hao’s sea of consciousness.

Then, a furious, humiliated scream came from the apartment upstairs next door: "Pervert! Don’t you run! I’m going to kill you—!"

’Well, now I’m in deep shit.’ Feng Hao thought with a bitter, helpless smile.

"It’s fine. I have special escape techniques. She can’t catch me," Three-second Fire said, full of confidence.

"But she can catch me!" Feng Hao roared through gritted teeth.

Hearing this, Three-second Fire finally realized the gravity of the situation. It hurriedly dove into the Genetic Tree, terrified that Feng Hao would use the Tightening Spell on it.

Before long, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps from downstairs. It was Xue Xiaoyun, coming to catch the culprit.

Xue Xiaoyun was clad in a bathrobe, clearly thrown on in a hurry. Her pretty face was a mixture of shame and fury, and her damp, long hair hung down her back. Holding a cyan Longsword, she possessed a unique sort of beauty.

"Eh? Isn’t this the lovely Xiaoyun? What can I do for you?" Feng Hao asked, feigning ignorance.

"Cut the crap! Did you see a pervert or not?" Xue Xiaoyun was trembling with rage, her fury burning.

"What pervert? I don’t know anything," Feng Hao continued to play dumb.

"Are you sure you didn’t see him?" Xue Xiaoyun’s dark brows furrowed. She scrutinized Feng Hao coldly and questioned, "I clearly sensed the pervert escape in this direction. How could you possibly not have seen him?"

"Uh, I don’t like the sound of that. Are you implying that I’m the pervert?" Feng Hao put on the air of a perfect gentleman.

But Xue Xiaoyun just sneered, her eyes filled with contempt. "You know perfectly well whether you’re a pervert or not."

"..." Feng Hao was instantly speechless.

’Son of a bitch. After all this time, she’s still hung up on what happened before.’

"In any case, you’d better hope I don’t find out it was you. Otherwise, even if my father tried to stop me, I would still gouge your eyes out!" Xue Xiaoyun snorted coldly and departed with an air of arrogance.

Feng Hao wanted to cry but had no tears. After confirming Xue Xiaoyun was gone, he said through gritted teeth, "This is the first and only time! It will not happen again, you hear me?!"

"Don’t worry. Next time, I definitely won’t let her find out," Three-second Fire replied, completely unrepentant.

"Are you fucking looking to die?" Feng Hao’s anger boiled over, and he directly sent his mental will crashing down on Three-second Fire.

Three-second Fire didn’t even have time to apologize before it was tormented half to death by the pressure of his will, begging frantically for mercy.

"Hmph!" Feng Hao snorted, ignoring Three-second Fire’s wails and began to set up his business with great fanfare.

’With a thick-skinned guy like Three-second Fire, if you didn’t teach him a lesson, he would never learn.’
