Shi Hao was suddenly startled, never expecting someone to be waiting for a chance like a hunter lying in wait.
He thought for a moment and said, “How do I know she’s still alive?”
“Girl, shout twice,” that cold voice commanded.
“Tch! You dare to kidnap me, do you know who I am—” Su Manman’s voice rose but was abruptly cut off.
“Your requirement has been satisfied, now can you hand over the item?” the cold voice said.
Shi Hao’s principle was not to accept threats, for once he stepped back, he might be forced to step back farther, two steps or even three, until he was beyond salvation.
However, he only had the lotus pod because of Su Manman. Although it was an exotic treasure nurtured by the Earth Core Poisonous Fire, and surely extremely precious, he would not hesitate to give it up if needed.
He had previously promised to save Su Manman three times.
So, he thought to himself, if that person took the lotus pod and still struck to kill, he would annihilate them and avenge Su Manman.
“Fine,” he nodded, “exchange the lotus for the person.”
“You’re wrong,” the cold voice corrected, “I have the hostage in my hands, naturally, it is for me to decide how to trade.”
The person paused, then added, “Throw what you have in your hands over here, and once I have it, I will naturally release her.”
“What if you don’t?” Shi Hao asked.
“Haha, I have that much credibility,” the cold voice said, “Besides, do you have any other choice?”
Shi Hao didn’t even know who this person was, so naturally, he would not trust the so-called credibility, but he was decisive and immediately threw the lotus pod over.
Without hesitation.
This was something he had obtained because of Su Manman, so now losing it because of her, he did not feel the slightest bit of reluctance.
“Hahahaha!” The cold voice laughed loudly, then suddenly disappeared.
Shi Hao hurriedly dashed out, only to see Su Manman lying on the ground, without a third person in sight.
He wanted to help Su Manman get up, but suddenly realized he was still in the nude, and quickly dressed himself.
“Hey!” he helped Su Manman up.
“Ouch, ouch, ouch!” Su Manman cried out in pain, holding her waist.
Shi Hao checked her over and, after making sure she was not injured, asked, “What did that person look like?”
“Who?” Su Manman actually countered.
“The person who kidnapped you,” Shi Hao felt this person might have hit her head.
Only then did Su Manman come to a realization and shook her head, “No, he grabbed me from behind right from the start.”
“Forget it then,” Shi Hao shook his head.
“What did you give him?” Su Manman asked.
“Oh, a lotus pod born from a lotus that grew in magma,” Shi Hao replied nonchalantly.
“That’s an Earthcore Fire Lotus!” Su Manman immediately exclaimed, “An incomparably precious treasure! It’s said that if one can collect all nine Divine Lotuses, one can cultivate a Divine Skill, which is a Great Divine Power wherever you are!”

Shi Hao just smiled, showing no signs of regret.
“Don’t you regret it?” Su Manman asked curiously.
“Why should I regret it?” Shi Hao countered.
“For saving me, you lost such a precious treasure,” Su Manman said, “After all, I’m not some great beauty.”
As she said this, she was terribly embarrassed.
She, Su Manman, is known as “Princess Manman” and is adored by countless heroes.
Shi Hao smiled, “The Imperial Fire Pill was given to me by you. Without this pill, I couldn’t have obtained the lotus pod, so using it on you now isn’t a loss.”
Moreover, he had also increased his cultivation because of it, naturally owing Su Manman a huge favor.
Su Manman stuck out her tongue and waved her hand, revealing another lotus pod. What else could it be but the one Shi Hao had handed over earlier?
“Huh?” Shi Hao was puzzled.
At that moment, Su Manman spoke, “Didn’t expect that, huh?”
Her voice was chilling to the bone, the same “person” who had threatened Shi Hao before.
Shi Hao realized, “You can imitate voices!”
“Hehe, just a trifle!” Su Manman boasted proudly.
Nevertheless, Shi Hao was angry, “Does that mean you were toying with me?”
Su Manman quickly waved her hands, “Miss was just testing your character. Now, you’ve passed! Here, isn’t it okay if I give the lotus pod back to you?”
She tossed the lotus pod back to Shi Hao.
“Eh?” Shi Hao was surprised, “Didn’t you say this could be used to cultivate a divine skill?”
“Of course,” Su Manman nodded.
“Then we can each have one seed, and there will still be a lot left,” Shi Hao said with a smile.
Su Manman shook her head, “Taking a few is useless, it can only increase a bit of cultivation. To cultivate that technique, you must consume all nine lotus seeds.”
“Then it’s yours,” Shi Hao passed the lotus pod back to her.
One, he disliked owing favors; two, he was full of confidence in himself.
Divine skills could indeed enhance his strength, but he believed he wouldn’t be weaker than anyone even without learning this particular skill.
Su Manman was astonished and looked at Shi Hao with a peculiar gaze.
“Do you know that with this you can cultivate the ‘Nine Lotus Sky-Sealing Technique,’ which is a supreme defensive art!” she explained to Shi Hao, “If you let people from where Miss comes from know about this, I guarantee they would fight tooth and nail for it!”
Shi Hao smiled, “So, once you’ve learned it, no one would be able to kidnap you anymore.”
Su Manman was momentarily speechless; she truly never met someone like him.
If she hadn’t disguised herself, or if she had revealed her true identity, Shi Hao’s generosity would be understandable, even contemptible to her.
But she was clearly in disguise, and with Shi Hao’s eyesight, it was impossible for him to discover her true face. Moreover, Shi Hao couldn’t possibly know her identity. Given these circumstances, Shi Hao’s insistence on giving her the Earthcore Fire Lotus seeds naturally touched her.
This guy was really special!
“Fine, Miss will keep it for now,” Su Manman kept the lotus pod, “Anyway, we still need another eight. Without them, let alone missing one, even missing a single lotus seed would make successful cultivation impossible.”
“Eh, there are nine portals here. Could it be that they correspond to nine places, each with such a Spiritual Medicine?” Shi Hao speculated.
“Smart,” Su Manman clapped, “You guessed right. Nine portals correspond to nine caves, each containing a Divine Lotus. Only by gathering nine lotus pods and obtaining all eighty-one lotus seeds can one possibly cultivate the Nine Lotus Sky-Sealing Technique.”
“Only possibly?” Shi Hao asked.
“Of course, do you have any idea what a marvelous technique the Nine Lotus Sky-Sealing Technique is?” Su Manman rolled her eyes at him, “Forget it, forget it, it’s no use explaining to you. Just know that it’s really powerful.”
Shi Hao chuckled, “You’re quite tsundere.”
“Hmph, with Miss’s unmatched beauty and high status, why can’t I be tsundere?” Su Manman retorted.
Shi Hao kindly kept silent. With your looks, you can only be called average. If that’s what you call “unmatched beauty,” then at least half of the women in the world must be explosively beautiful.
