Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Beautiful Misunderstanding_1

Hearing the Snake King’s answer, He Tiantian was left speechless, not knowing how to reply.

"My goodness, it can actually be like this?" He Tiantian exclaimed in surprise, "Then... then would this affect you? If helping me reveals your information and hinders your return to the Demon Realm, then please don’t help me. I’m serious, I’m not lying."

Just as Third Grandma Qi had said, she had already done enough and didn’t need to try to appear better. She especially remembered the words of Third Grandma Qi, "Tall trees catch much wind!"

The Snake King, for once, didn’t look at He Tiantian askance but looked at her squarely instead. After receiving such a great benefit, she didn’t try to exploit the situation further, but was considering its welfare, showing He Tiantian wasn’t a selfish person.

"Why are you not saying anything?" He Tiantian hurriedly said, "Actually, just the fact that you’ve allowed me to live again is the biggest help I could have received, the greatest benefactor of my life. I can see my parents again and change things from the past, make up for my previous regrets. As for everything else, as long as I am careful and cautious, there will always be a way out. But you’re different. You said that acting rashly could subject you to the punishment of the Nine Heavens Profound Thunder and prevent you from returning home. I know the pain of not being able to return home, and I’m aware of the pain of not being able to see parents, relatives, and lovers. You are a good person... you are a good snake, and good deeds will be rewarded. I hope you can get what you wish for and not be unable to return home because of me."

He Tiantian’s words were hurried and fast, which made the Snake King even more dazed.

Ah, influenced by He Tiantian’s words like this, the Snake King thought of its parents back home and those brothers and sisters who always caused trouble for it.

If it were gone, would its parents be sad? Would those stupid brothers and sisters be bullied by other creatures?

"Actually..." the Snake King wanted to explain that even with a barrier, its aura would still seep out. It hadn’t killed with its own hands, so the Heavenly Dao of the Human Realm didn’t restrict it much. These small animals would be hunted by other animals or humans even without it being there!

As for the fact that there were no large predators in the dense forests on the back mountain, it was entirely because... because it followed He Tiantian to the back mountain every day to cut grass, work, hunt, bathing in the cave’s pool... The Snake King’s aura spread out, and then the higher-level large predators assumed that the area was already occupied by an even stronger creature, so they left a range of several kilometers around the back mountain. The rest, too foolish to sense it, stayed behind.

Thus... this situation occurred, where these left-behind foolish animals could become prey for humans.

What a wonderful misunderstanding!

The Snake King’s hard and stubborn heart, at this moment, was inadvertently touched once again.

However, as was customary for the Snake King, even if it felt a great sense of gratitude, it absolutely wouldn’t tell He Tiantian.

Because... because the Snake King suddenly found the feeling of being cared about not too bad, so... so it decided to let this foolish girl continue to worry...

Ao ao ao...

It was no longer the solitary Snake King. To its only subject, He Tiantian, the Snake King was still not too bad.

"Actually, His Majesty saw that the people in this village treated you well, so..." the Snake King started with a tone of compassionate concern for all under heaven, acting ostentatiously, but was interrupted by He Tiantian.

"We’ve already repaid them, that’s enough. There’s no need to dwell on so many acts of kindness. Snake King, withdraw your enthusiasm and continue to be cold-blooded," He Tiantian said earnestly, not wanting the Snake King to make sacrifices for her anymore.

The Snake King, caught off guard by He Tiantian’s words, shook its snake head up and down, left and right, and finally glared at He Tiantian and said, "You needn’t worry, His Majesty will make his own judgments!"

After saying that, with a "swoosh," the Snake King closed the barrier and went back to continue its cultivation.

"Hey... hey... don’t go... I’m doing this for your own good!" He Tiantian called out hastily, her voice unintentionally loud, waking the lightly sleeping Third Grandma Qi.

Third Grandma Qi was startled, suddenly throwing on her clothes, and asked from outside the door, "Girl Tian, are you alright?"

"No, no, just hit the corner of the table when I got up to drink some water," He Tiantian answered, putting on her clothes and opening the door, "Grandma Qi, you better get back quickly! Be careful not to fall."

"Oh, then be more careful in the future." Only then did Third Grandma Qi return to her room, and He Tiantian personally saw that she settled in before going back to her own room.

Ah, it’s really cold at night.

After returning to her room, He Tiantian lay in the warm blanket, deciding from now on not to go to the back mountain to deal with the rabbits anymore. There were already more than twenty; the meat and pelts could sell for quite a bit of money. One mustn’t be greedy, looking out only for oneself and not considering the Snake King.

In her sleep, He Tiantian was still pondering this matter!

He Tiantian didn’t know what Nine Heavens Profound Thunder was, but in her dream, the Snake King was struck by lightning from the sky, reduced to a smoking mess, almost turning into roasted snake meat.

So pitiful! He Tiantian felt especially sorry for him!

Having experienced the Nine Heavens Profound Thunder, a rift appeared in the sky, and the dying Snake King, lacking the strength to fly, could only watch as the rift slowly closed, shedding two lines of sorrowful snake tears...

"Wake up, wake up..." a voice arose beside He Tiantian’s ear.

"Stop bothering me!" He Tiantian turned over, grabbing the blanket with both hands and covering her head.

The Snake King, seeing He Tiantian sleeping in and refusing to wake up inside the barrier, glared with his mung bean-sized eyes turned upside down and shouted again, "Wake up... wake up and take a bath..."

"Crazy, it’s so cold, who takes a bath..." He Tiantian mumbled drowsily, "I have to save the Snake King, he’s been scorched..."

The Snake King exerted effort, realizing this was all a dream!

It’s you who’s been scorched?

Wake up, wake up, wake up...

The Snake King felt like biting He Tiantian, but remembering how worried she had been about him before, he reluctantly decided not to bite her.

He Tiantian finally woke up amid the Snake King’s incessant nagging.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the Snake King looking at her discontentedly, saying, "It’s already one o’clock at night, and we should go to the back mountain for a bath."

Upon hearing this, He Tiantian’s mind flashed with the image of the roasted Snake King, and she shook her head repeatedly, saying, "No way, you can’t release your qi anymore. If the Heavenly Dao of the Human Realm discovers it, you’ll be roasted by the Nine Heavens Profound Thunder, watching helplessly as the Spatial Rift closes in front of you without the strength to break through..."

The Snake King was covered in metaphorical black lines, realizing He Tiantian had dreamed of him being scorched.
