Chapter 318: Chapter 289: Transforming into a Big Fat Baby_1

To prevent wild boars and bears from causing trouble in the precious test peach orchard, everyone also added another layer of fence outside.

These fences, made of rather thick sticks and bamboo, were very sturdy.

He Tiantian took the Snake King for a walk around the yard, leaving its scent in these areas to ensure that the large ferocious animals would not appear here.

"Snake King, that’s great, from now on I’ll be living with my parents," He Tiantian shared her joy with the Snake King, whose arrival diluted the sadness of Huo Yingjie’s departure.

"Yes, it is really good!" the Snake King said melancholically, "I wonder how my parents are doing?"

Upon hearing the Snake King’s words, He Tiantian immediately felt that she was wrong; she was happy about her parents’ arrival, but the Snake King by her side had left its parents and didn’t know when it could return to see them.

Her happiness, built upon the Snake King’s sorrow, was considerably diminished.

"Snake King, strive hard! Fight hard!" He Tiantian said, "Tonight, when we go to the cave in the back mountain, you drink a little more blood, and I eat a little more good food, and we’ll make up for it."

The Snake King nodded: "Thank you!"

At least I still have you.

Come evening, after a tiring day, Wang Shuping washed up and went back to her room to rest.

He Tiantian saw her mother and Third Grandma Qi asleep, so she sneaked off to the back mountain.

In the dead of night, all that could be heard was the sound of He Tiantian’s footsteps.

Once at the cave, He Tiantian sat on a large rock, took off her shoes, stretched out her left foot, and said, "Snake King, come out!"

The Snake King appeared in mid-air, its golden scales dazzling and bright.

"Let’s start," He Tiantian closed her eyes; she couldn’t bear to watch a snake drink her blood.

Although she had seen the Snake King and was quite familiar with it, He Tiantian couldn’t control her instinctive reaction.

The Snake King knew that deep down, He Tiantian was scared, but she still insisted on providing it with Sacred Blood, which moved the Snake King a bit, making it feel a touch of warmth in some corner of its heart.

If she was scared, then it was better to let her fall asleep.

The Snake King bit into He Tiantian’s ankle, and after a bout of tingling numbness, she fell into a deep sleep.

The Snake King leisurely sucked the blood flowing from He Tiantian’s ankle, its body’s light growing ever brighter, while also feeling its power multiplying under the catalysis of the Sacred Blood, advancing by leaps and bounds!

The Snake King closed its eyes, savoring the wonderful feeling of increasing strength, and when it opened its eyes again, it found that its form had changed!

Gone was the shining golden skin, and it was no longer elongated, but had grown hands and feet.

The Snake King was stunned; it had thought that only after surviving the Six-Day Profound Thunder could it transform into a human, but it had managed to do so after merely the Three-Day Profound Thunder.

The Snake King was extremely excited and quickly ran to the pool to look at its reflection in the water!

This glance, oh boy, was a shock!

Must it be like this?

It was the formidable Snake King, so even if it transformed, it should have become a handsome young man, not a three or four-year-old toddler!

The Snake King looked at its reflection in the water and shed two lines of sorrowful tears!

What the heck is that upright braid with a red ribbon on its bald head?

A chubby round face was acceptable, but why were there two red dots painted on its cheeks?

And those arms, so plump that you could barely see the joints?

In its past form, wasn’t it handsome, slim, and tall?

But the most eye-watering aspect was the big red bib covering its belly; couldn’t they have used a bit more fabric?

The Snake King took a few deep breaths.

The transformation wasn’t complete; there was a small tail on its back!

Looking this juvenile, it couldn’t let He Tiantian see it; how would it show off in front of her in the future?

However, the newly transformed Snake King was a bit weak and couldn’t change back for a moment!

I change, I change, change change change!

After many attempts, Snake King was still unsuccessful!

He Tiantian had been asleep for a very long time, letting out a few moans, she was about to wake up!

In a state of urgency, Snake King finally managed to transform successfully and entered the barrier.

Having one silly Little Rotating Turtle was enough, there was no need for him to join in and increase their number.

Before his transformation stabilized, he didn’t want He Tiantian to see his current foolish appearance.

By the time He Tiantian woke up, the trace of Snake King had disappeared.

In the past, Snake King would always wait for her to wake up, why didn’t he wait for her this time?

"Snake King?" He Tiantian thought Snake King was hiding somewhere and called out softly.

It was getting late, and as she called, He Tiantian put on her shoes.

Seeing that there was no response, He Tiantian called out softly again, "Glug glug mi... calling Snake King..."

Although he had set up a barrier that He Tiantian couldn’t see into, Snake King was a bit nervous inside, saying, "I have already entered to cultivate, stop calling..."

He Tiantian had already gotten used to Snake King’s awkward temperament and didn’t mind, she put on her shoes and hurried home.

It was after four o’clock when she got home, so she continued to sleep for a while.

When He Tiantian got up again, Wang Shuping had already prepared breakfast.

"Tiantian, come and eat quickly," Wang Shuping said with a smile, then brought over some water to wash Third Grandma Qi’s face.

Only then did He Tiantian hurriedly get up. Her mother was working so hard and even getting up early to cook; she felt a bit like an unfilial daughter!

He Tiantian quickly got up to wash up and came over to eat.

"Mom, is the Peach Orchard ready?" asked He Tiantian. She had been busy cutting grass these past few days and had not visited her mother’s supervised Peach Orchard.

Wang Shuping smiled and said, "The ground is already prepared. After eating, they can just dig holes at the spot I’ve chosen! Then we just wait for your father to transport the saplings over."

"Next year we’ll have delicious honey peaches to eat." He Tiantian swallowed saliva, "I’ll eat a few more then."

"Eat as many as you like," Wang Shuping said with a smile. "This is the result of nearly twenty years of your father’s research, we hope it will be successful here."

He Tiantian comforted her mother, "Mom, with beautiful mountains and rivers here, the honey peaches grown will taste even more delicious!"

"Let’s hope so," Wang Shuping said with a smile, she believed in her husband, he would surely succeed.

If it weren’t for last year’s investigation, this research project would have already been presented to the public.

The day after the holes were dug in the Peach Orchard, Niu Peng led more than a dozen bullock carts from the county town.

What could have been handled by just two large Liberation trucks was made impossible due to the bad roads, thus they had to resort to this primitive means of transportation.

Seeing her father return safely, the mother and daughter were very happy, but Wang Shuping’s eyes widened at the sight of the big peach tree, asking, "Old He, this... why did you bring the mother tree over too?"

All the peach trees were grafted from this tree in order to grow the finest honey peaches.

This tree was the one her parents had found with great difficulty in the deep mountains after unimaginable hardships!
