Chapter 150: Chapter 150: Prevention, Learning (820+) _1

He Tiantian saw so many people going hunting in the back mountain and remembered that her cave, although hidden, had never been discovered in her previous life. It had always been her secret base until she left Qijia Village to make a living elsewhere.

That was because few people went to the back mountain, but now that everyone knew there were no ferocious beasts there, not only the people from Qijia Village went hunting, but also people from other villages. If her secret base was discovered, she would no longer have a place to be alone, and there was also a lot of processed rabbit meat and rabbit fur there!

He Tiantian was so anxious that she paced back and forth, completely at a loss. Snake King, having finished his cultivation, saw her on the verge of bursting.

Snake King thought something serious had happened and didn’t disturb He Tiantian, but even as the Snake King, his eyes were dizzy from her constant turning and swaying.

"You... stop spinning around, speak if there’s an issue," Snake King couldn’t bear it any longer, he had to ask, or this foolish woman would never speak up.

Only then did He Tiantian realize that Snake King had awakened, and she stammered, "It’s... nothing..."

He Tiantian didn’t want to trouble Snake King with such trivial matters and affect his cultivation, so she decided not to tell him about it. She would figure it out by herself, and if it really came down to it, she would just give up the cave.

"What’s the matter? I’m asking you one last time, if you don’t tell me and it messes up my plans, this king will... will bite... to death..." Snake King said ominously, trying to scare He Tiantian.

If it had been before, He Tiantian would have been very scared.

But now, haha!

He Tiantian had gotten used to it and was not afraid at all!

That Snake King was all bark and no bite. He would never really hurt her, so He Tiantian wasn’t afraid of him.

As for Snake King, with his venomous tongue, He Tiantian took it as just him being angry and didn’t take it to heart anymore.

"Actually, it’s not a big deal, the cave in the back mountain is quite hidden, but with so many people going up there now, I’m worried that our cave will be discovered, and there’s so much stuff I’ve processed inside," He Tiantian explained, "The reason I didn’t tell you is that I didn’t want you to waste your mana and hinder your cultivation!" Having learned the consequences of Snake King’s reckless use of mana, she silently resolved that she would never trouble him unless it was a crisis she couldn’t handle.

Snake King gave He Tiantian a look reserved for idiots. Could this woman be any more foolish?

That was his bathing spot; how could he allow those lowly, stupid humans to discover his territory?

His mana might not have fully recovered, but creating a barrier in a stationary place was a piece of cake!

And as for being punished by the Heavenly Dao?

Ha, what a joke. If the Heavenly Dao of the Human Realm was so meticulous, ten Heavenly Daos wouldn’t be enough!

"Idiot, just wait and see how you handle it, that place has long been discovered by someone," Snake King said arrogantly and smugly, as if he had everything under control.

He Tiantian was slightly startled, it seemed that the Snake King already knew.

"Why do you say that, Snake King?" He Tiantian asked hurriedly, "You must not misuse your mana!"

The Snake King, seeing He Tiantian’s concern, was slightly proud. Considering that He Tiantian cared about it, it decided to explain carefully: "Ever since this King bathed there and received the nourishment of the unique spiritual energy of that place, I have advanced in level, and the range of spells I can use has also increased. I really like that cave, and I have set up a protective barrier there. Only we can get in, others will not find it and absolutely cannot enter."

Upon hearing this, He Tiantian was overjoyed and said excitedly, "Snake King, you are amazing. I’ve always been at a loss for a good solution, and I didn’t expect you’d already taken precautions."

"Hmph!" The Snake King raised its neck arrogantly, "Of course, who made me the King, and you just a lowly human!"

He Tiantian might have been resentful upon hearing such words in the past, but the Snake King’s repeated interventions had indeed solved her troublesome problems, proving it to be more powerful than her, a human.

"Snake King, are you sure it won’t affect you?" He Tiantian asked again, to be absolutely certain. She didn’t want to harm the Snake King’s interests to benefit her own. Although sometimes she was a bit unreasonable, she truly hoped the Snake King would have a good outcome and return to the Demon Realm smoothly, rather than being struck by the Nine Heavens Profound Thunder and turned into roasted snake meat!

"Don’t think of me as so weak. I know my own limits," the Snake King said, lifting its head, "Is that all for this matter?"

He Tiantian nodded repeatedly, saying, "That’s all, Snake King, you are formidable!"

As for the village matters, He Tiantian, a little educated youth, couldn’t get involved, nor did she want to.

She went nowhere, but took out her textbooks at home and began to study.

Although she still had seven years’ time, He Tiantian knew that having been away from studies for so many years, apart from reading, she had forgotten much of her knowledge. Picking it up early and working hard, she hoped to get into an even better university than in her previous life.

The textbooks were very new, and she had no idea how her father He Jingyu had gotten them!

Chinese, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, History, Geography, and so on. He Tiantian first took the simplest Chinese and began her review. Starting with the easiest subject could boost her motivation since liberal arts required rote memorization. For the sciences, the basics might be reviewable on her own, but for the difficult parts, she definitely needed to ask Professor Gu and Professor Wang for help.

However, now that Professor Gu and Professor Wang had just settled down, with people like Qi Jianguo and Qi Shuli lurking in the village ready to report them, they dared not teach these subjects for fear of getting into trouble.

Under such circumstances, He Tiantian decided to first master what she could learn on her own. She would wait to ask Professor Gu and Professor Wang when the situation improved.

The High School Year One Chinese textbook was indeed a bit more difficult than the middle school one, but the selections were even more elegant! After reading through several times, she carefully wrote down the words and phrases in her notebook, making sure she understood their precise meanings and committed them to memory with earnest repetition.

For the questions at the end of each lesson, He Tiantian carefully searched the text and then wrote her answers in her notebook. Only after she had thoroughly understood an article and could recite the key sentences and solve the accompanying questions did she take out the teacher’s teaching plan, which contained points on how to teach the article from the teacher’s perspective.

He Tiantian carefully checked these points against the knowledge she had acquired. Most were the same, but there were differences. After looking at the answers, she had an epiphany, realizing indeed that the teaching plan was more comprehensive and her thinking had been too one-sided.

However, sometimes He Tiantian felt her own ideas were good, so she made a careful note of them in her notebook to consult a teacher when she had the chance.
