Chapter 1089: Chapter 1058: Go back? Stay here!

Huo Ruihua didn’t say anything, but he also agreed with his sister.

Although it was an uncle, who knew what kind of uncle he was? Their only real uncle was He Doudou!

He was only a year older than them and was in Country M right now!

"Alright." Snake King felt aggrieved, cornered by the two kids. He wanted to return to the Demon Realm, "Sister Tiantian..."

Seeing the awkward expression on Snake King’s face, He Tiantian laughed and said, "Let’s go, my dear little brother... I’ll take you to Tan Family Cuisine for dinner tonight."

Hearing this name, the two children’s eyes sparkled, wishing they could go right now.

"Is it really that delicious?" Snake King asked, now somewhat fond of human food.

"It’s delicious; once you’ve tried it, you’ll never forget it," Huo Ruimin said. "The ingredients are exquisite. Hurry up and buy the stuff; I can hardly wait."

He Tiantian went shopping with Snake King at the mall, finally purchasing everything on the list and had the bodyguards send it home before the group grandly headed to Tan Family Cuisine.

Since a reservation had been made earlier, He Tiantian directly entered the private room.

Huo Yingjie, Zhou Yuanchao, Wang Ying, and Zhou Bin from Wang Ying’s family were there too, filling the table completely.

As there were many people today, He Tiantian ordered a whole table full of dishes.

Afterward, He Tiantian introduced Snake King to Zhou Yuanchao and his wife.

Learning that Snake King was He Tiantian’s cousin, they were very friendly.

Wang Ying, triggered by her occupational habit, instantly offered a set of cosmetics.

During the meal, Snake King focused solely on eating, barely listening to what the others were saying.

It was indeed delicious.

When returning home that night, Snake King felt a bit full, but very satisfied.

Upon reaching home, Snake King jumped up to the rooftop where Little Rotating Turtle was lying; they watched the moon together.

"Snake King, I’m sorry," Little Rotating Turtle apologized. "At that time, both the master and the lady were not at home. I had to be careful. Please forgive me."

"It’s alright." Snake King, well-fed and in a great mood, said, "I now understand your difficulties. It seems Tiantian and Huo Yingjie in the Human Realm are not omnipotent nor completely safe."

Little Rotating Turtle nodded and said, "Yes, living in the Human Realm, we must act according to human ways, not by old rules. By the way, are you going back this time?"

"I might go back," Snake King replied. "I’ve realized I don’t like being the Snake King. Coming out to travel turned out timely as Tiantian was in trouble, so I came. However, tearing through the spatial rift took a lot of effort, and during that process, a creature sneaked through as well, including a Fox Spirit. I didn’t see the one before clearly."

Little Rotating Turtle was shocked and said, "I must tell the master about this and be cautious."

"What’s there to fear? Huo Yingjie is so powerful," Snake King chuckled. "By the way, you’ve also grown a lot. I’ll stay in the Human Realm for a while longer before going back. Perhaps after I settle things in the Demon Realm, I’ll come back here, and by then you’ll have a companion too."

"That’s great," Little Rotating Turtle said. "You can have your master help you freely travel between the Human Realm and the Demon Realm, so you don’t have to exert so much effort every time."

"Heh, knowing how stingy Huo Yingjie is, I doubt he would help me," Snake King said. "I’d better rely on myself."

One was his master, the other a friend; Little Rotating Turtle found it a bit difficult.

"Alright, let’s drop it," said Snake King. "Anyway, I’m happy to see you all, and I really cherish the wonderful moments we have now."

Little Rotating Turtle smiled and said, "Actually, I think it’s quite interesting now. If you like it here, you could stay—we could cultivate together and go out to play."

"Heh, sure," Snake King replied. "I also find the Demon Realm dull, and I’ve noticed that cultivating here is even faster than in the Demon Realm, so why bother going back?"

"Right, cultivating here is pretty good too," said Little Rotating Turtle. "There are many lively people here and lots of interesting things to do; you’ll like it here. Well, I should stop now. It’s time for me to get up early and go cultivate, hoping that one day I can also transform into a human form. You should go back and rest too. There’s time ahead, and we can chat more later."

"Hmm, you go back," said Snake King. "I’ll sit here a while longer." He lay on the rooftop, gazing up at the sky, wondering if he might just be one of the stars up there.

Little Rotating Turtle left, and Snake King continued to lie quietly.

After a while, a figure approached.

It was Huo Yingjie.

"Do you want to stay in the Human Realm forever?" Huo Yingjie asked. "Don’t you want to go back to the Demon Realm?"

"Are you hoping I’d go back sooner?" Snake King countered. "Actually, I’ve given up already; you don’t have to worry about me coveting your wife."

"Heh, of course I knew that, otherwise, you wouldn’t be here," Huo Yingjie said. "We’ve known each other for so many years; I understand you somewhat. You want to travel between the Human and Demon Realms, but your technique isn’t enough to do so, is it?"

"Yes, when I came here this time, two monsters took advantage of the chaos and ran into the Human Realm from a Spatial Rift. I was busy rescuing Tiantian and didn’t have time to track them down," Snake King explained. "I’ve decided to capture those two monsters and then go back."

"Hmm," Huo Yingjie chuckled. "You’re very responsible."

There’s no need for such words," Snake King responded. "I just don’t want the monsters to harm innocent people." "Well, it’s getting late; I should also go rest."

Huo Yingjie chuckled and said, "Actually, you don’t need to hurry, I still have something to say."

Rarely seeing Huo Yingjie so amiable, Snake King was a bit surprised and countered, "With the degree you dislike me, you probably don’t have anything good to say."

"Heh, it seems you also have prejudices against me," Huo Yingjie laughed, unbothered. As a mature man now, how could he hold grudges like a young, impulsive lad?

"It’s not about prejudice; just telling it like it is," Snake King replied. "Alright, speak your mind."

Huo Yingjie chuckled and said, "Stay here. Tiantian treats you as her brother, and the three kids also like you. Besides, I will teach you the secret technique to travel between the Human and Demon Realms without using too much mana."

"Oh? That sounds like a good deal," Snake King was startled. "Tell me, what’s the catch?"

"There’s no catch," Huo Yingjie smiled. "Just hope you’ll stay. If you like it here, then stay. I truly mean it, and thanks for saving Tiantian earlier."

Snake King felt touched, feeling his goodwill had been reciprocated, and nodded, "Hmm, I also want to learn more of human wisdom. Last time, I used the wisdom I learned from humans, and it easily resolved a crisis in our tribe. The pace of cultivation here isn’t slower than in the Demon Realm, and with your guidance, this is indeed a good place."
