Chapter 121: Chapter 121: Be Virtuous as a Snake!_1

"Snake King... Snake King... Save me!" He Tiantian panted, not knowing where she had run to, but she could vaguely feel her strength was about to give out.

But why were the two big wild boars behind her not letting her go?

Dammit!

She wasn’t a sow!

If they wanted a wife, they should look for a sexy big mother pig!

In the Barrier Space, the Snake King had had enough of the joke. Seeing that He Tiantian’s stamina had already surpassed her previous limits, which was a blessing in disguise, he finally lazily said, "Just keep running in this direction, straight ahead..."

Hearing the Snake King’s tip, He Tiantian almost wanted to cry!

Couldn’t he have helped her earlier?

"You... aren’t you going to take action directly? Why... why do I still need to run forward?" He Tiantian asked, gasping for air. Why did she still have to run, was he planning to use her to keep leading the two wild boars until they were exhausted to death?

However, she could swear to Grandpa M that before the wild boars would die of exhaustion, she would definitely collapse first.

The Snake King scanned the surroundings with his Divine Sense, his eyes gleaming with amusement, or perhaps the look of someone plotting a prank!

"Keep running forward, straight ahead, don’t change direction!" The Snake King said lazily, realizing that teasing someone could be so much fun!

He Tiantian breathed heavily, running straight ahead, occasionally turning her head to look at the two big wild boars behind her!

Damn!

Still chasing!

I’m about to die of exhaustion!

Panting heavily, I... run, run, run...

Sweat poured into He Tiantian’s eyes, nearly blinding her. Fortunately, the path ahead was smooth; even if she couldn’t see clearly, she wouldn’t fall!

"Hurry, hurry..." urged the Snake King, watching He Tiantian’s braids sway in mid-air, he laughed silently!

Little girl, for secretly laughing at the Snake King!

This is a small punishment for you!

He Tiantian kept running forward like a panicked little rabbit!

Suddenly, it felt as if she was stepping into thin air—a soft, cotton-like void, with the sound of whooshing wind by her ears!

He Tiantian quickly rolled up her sleeves to wipe her eyes and look around, only seeing the nearby mountains and distant clouds...

When she looked down, He Tiantian almost died of fright!

Her legs were flapping frantically in the air...

Looking further down, she saw it was a crack over ten meters deep!

Oh my goodness!

He Tiantian’s eyes rolled back, and she was about to faint.

"Don’t play dead, you won’t fall!" the Snake King said with schadenfreude, "Quick, quick, look behind you..."

Huh?

Won’t fall?

He Tiantian, no longer bothered by fear, opened her eyes, stretched out her arms to paddle, and her legs flapped...

Huh? She actually didn’t fall, still suspended in mid-air.

Can I fly?

While He Tiantian was excited about her newfound ability to fly, she had completely forgotten about the two big wild boars chasing her from behind!

"Bang..."

He Tiantian was taken aback and looked in the direction of the sound!

Before she could react, another sound came!

"Thud..."

Two big wild boars had fallen down!

As far as He Tiantian could see with her naked eye, the bodies of the two big wild boars twitched irregularly a few times, and then they lay motionless!

"Did they just die from the fall?" He Tiantian asked, her eyes wide with disbelief.

"You think they wouldn’t be dead as a doornail from that?" Snake King said haughtily, "When I make a move, is there ever no success?"

Snake King would have been fine if he hadn’t said that, but as soon as he did, He Tiantian got angry.

"Those two big wild boars clearly fell into the crack on their own; you didn’t lift a finger, all right? To be a person... er... to be a snake, you ought to be more honest..." He Tiantian, with hands on her hips, complained about Snake King, accusing him of blatantly lying and taking credit for everything!

Snake King lifted his slender neck arrogantly and asked, "If I hadn’t used my mana to let you levitate, wouldn’t you be the one falling down right now? And you would be the one dead!"

He Tiantian paused, looked at the empty space below her feet, and swallowed the complaint she was about to make. She worried that if she spoke up, Snake King might let her fall as well.

The fish on the cutting board is at the mercy of the knife!

A wise man submits to circumstances!

No point in arguing with a snake!

"But didn’t you say you would help me catch those two pigs?" Tiantian muttered, "Look at all the sweat on me; my legs are going weak, and you’re about to tire me to death."

Snake King gave He Tiantian a "you think I’m a fool" look and disdainfully said, "I am conserving mana, you know. The mana I cultivate isn’t easy to come by and shouldn’t be wasted recklessly. You weigh less than ninety pounds, but those two pigs are five hundred pounds. The mana required to control your body is only a fifth of what is needed for those two pigs. Why would I exert myself to control the pigs instead?"

He Tiantian had to laugh bitterly at this!

She almost ground her teeth in frustration!

He Tiantian = 1/5 of two big wild boars!

"You... you... that’s too much!" Tiantian protested, particularly annoyed by the comparison.

"Alright, if you don’t go find the other two men soon, these two big fat pigs are going to become food for other animals. Then you really would have been busy for nothing!" Snake King said lazily with a smile, hitting He Tiantian’s sore spot in an instant.

Indeed, what use was there in talking about it now?

The wild boars were dead, and the prey was captured!

As for the annoying Snake King, He Tiantian decided to ignore him for the time being.

Pouting, He Tiantian flailed her slender arms in the air, "swimming" towards the edge of the mountain crevice.

He Tiantian looked around and recognized her surroundings, then headed back.

"Wrong, turn right!" Snake King, seeing that He Tiantian was upset, suddenly felt he had made a mistake and frightened He Tiantian. With a newfound conscience, he kindly reminded her!

Tiantian turned right and kept silent.

"They are three miles away from you, keep going forward," Snake King, seeing that Tiantian was still silent, reminded her again.

Tiantian kept walking, determined not to speak to Snake King for three days!

"Humph!" Snake King, in a fit of haughtiness himself, thought, not talking to the great Snake King? The great Snake King is not even pleased to bother with you, you brat!

Snake King went straight into the Barrier Space, and Tiantian could no longer receive any messages from him.

Zuo Li and Xiang Rong, both former reconnaissance soldiers, followed the traces left by the wild boars and caught up.

"Uncle Zuo, Uncle Xiang, I am here. Those two pigs fell down into the crevice below and are already dead. Let’s hurry up and retrieve the wild boars," He Tiantian shouted from atop a rock, calling out to the two men dozens of meters away.

Zuo Li and Xiang Rong quickened their pace and ran to He Tiantian’s side. Seeing that she was sweating a lot but not hurt, they were relieved.

"It’s good you’re okay; if something had happened to you, it would be difficult to explain when we got back," Zuo Li said. "It’s strange about those two big wild boars; they were relentlessly following you!"
