Chapter 330: Chapter 301: Thinking of this Great King First (4/6)_1

He Tiantian, seeing she had been there for a while, took out a piece of cloth and fifty cents.

"Sister Lingli, I don’t have any fine gifts to give you, take this cloth to make a new dress, this is my wedding gift for you." He Tiantian said, "I wish you a happy marriage!"

When Liu Lingli saw the gifts, her eyes lit up, for she had not a single new dress for her wedding.

Everything was so rushed that the groom’s family could only afford the banquet and food, leaving no money for her clothes.

As long as she could get past this crisis, she would have a good life later and be able to buy new clothes eventually.

"Thank you, Tiantian." Liu Lingli expressed her thanks; although deep down she was still a little jealous of He Tiantian, at that moment she was grateful.

Besides being better than her in every aspect, He Tiantian had no other faults.

Liu Lingli sometimes understood it was her own sense of rivalry that caused her unrest, yet she couldn’t control it.

"You don’t need to thank me." He Tiantian said with a smile, "The livestock team has a lot of work; I should head back. I’ll come visit you when I have time."

"Tiantian, why don’t you join us for a meal over there?" Liu Lingli invited, "You’ve given such a generous gift, I’d feel bad if you didn’t stay for a meal."

"Yes, He Tiantian." An older young man named Liu Xiaohuan said, feeling a sense of closeness upon seeing the substantial gift He Tiantian brought.

Having one more friend was like having an additional path; maybe one day they might need help from her.

He remembered that during a drought, Liu Lingli had managed to get a lot of water from He Tiantian to help in a crisis.

Thinking of her father waiting outside in the heat, He Tiantian declined: "I really have other things to attend to, our livestock team has work nearly every day, and I didn’t take time off; I would lose work points. As for eating, let’s talk about that another time."

Seeing that He Tiantian was not inclined to stay for a meal, Liu Lingli didn’t press further, saying, "Okay then, I will personally treat you to a meal another day."

Liu Lingli didn’t want He Tiantian to see her in her reduced circumstances; not staying for the meal suited her just fine.

"Then, Sister Lingli, goodbye." He Tiantian took her leave, "Goodbye to all sisters."

"Goodbye..." Everyone said their goodbyes to He Tiantian with smiles.

After escorting He Tiantian out, Liu Lingli turned around and went back to wait for the groom’s family to pick her up.

As He Tiantian reached the entrance of the village, she saw her father cooling off under a big tree.

"Why so soon? Aren’t you going to eat with them?" He Jingyu asked, a bit curious.

"My dad hasn’t eaten yet, how could I stay there!" He Tiantian replied. "Let’s hurry home for our meal."

"That’s fine too." He Jingyu said, "By the way, since you and this Liu Lingli aren’t that close, why are you giving her gifts and money?"

If it were before, He Tiantian would have given either fifty cents or a piece of cloth, not both!

However, after the deaths of Hu Erlai and Er Goudan, and the clues ending there, He Tiantian always felt that Liu Lingli was somewhat involved.

Giving a gift showed closeness and would make future interactions less awkward.

"It’s nothing, I just feel like we all come from Nan City, she’s quite pitiful by herself. She came to me personally, so I decided to give her something nice." He Tiantian said, looking overly kind-hearted.

He Jingyu, somewhat speechless at his daughter’s excessive kindness, said, "What does it matter if someone is from the same place? You still need to be cautious. You’re so naive, you can’t let people deceive you with just a few words."

Although his daughter hadn’t spoken about her past life, from her previous look of deep sorrow, he could tell she must have suffered a great deal.

He and his wife shared the same sentiment; they would rather have a daughter with some schemes, who knew how to protect herself, than one who was too kind-hearted.

"Mhm, mhm, I know, Dad." He Tiantian nodded repeatedly, aware of her parents’ concerns.

There were some things, however, she could not share with them!

The truth was, their daughter had transformed into something akin to a heart filled with liquor-flavored chocolate.

On the outside, it was the rich fragrance of chocolate; on the inside, it was fiery liquor that scorched the throat!

Upon returning home, it happened to be mealtime.

While taking a nap, the Snake King lazily said, "He Tiantian, can you be any more foolish?"

He Tiantian sat up from her bed, recently she hadn’t done anything to upset the Snake King. She asked in confusion, "Snake King, why would you say that about me?"

"If you want to know whether Liu Lingli is that masked woman, why didn’t you wake me up to read her memories?" The Snake King had just woken up from his cultivation and knew that He Tiantian had met with Liu Lingli, so he asked in return.

Upon hearing this, He Tiantian immediately felt like the biggest fool.

Liu Lingli had come over once, and she personally visited Hujia Village once!

There had been two opportunities, yet He Tiantian hadn’t thought to call upon the Snake King even once!

"How about I find an excuse to meet with Liu Lingli in a few days?" He Tiantian asked tentatively. Alas, with her parents’ visit and most of her attention on them and Third Grandma Qi, combined with the Snake King acting strangely lately, she didn’t want to trouble him.

As a result...

"A master of none, and good for nothing!" the Snake King said proudly, "I’m off to cultivate!"

"Alright, the things I’ve done recently certainly haven’t been very domineering," He Tiantian admitted, "I just see that you’ve been troubled and weary lately, so I didn’t want to bother you with everything!"

With pride, the Snake King said, "And then when things get out of hand and can’t be managed, you come looking for my help?"

An embarrassed look spread across He Tiantian’s face as she admitted her mistake, "Snake King, I was wrong!"

The Snake King felt quite pleased with He Tiantian’s attitude and said, "I hope that from now on, whenever you encounter trouble, your first thought will be of me!"

Huh?

Why did that sound a bit off?

Sensing He Tiantian’s skepticism, the Snake King blurted out without mincing words, "I just don’t want others contaminating my Sacred Blood, don’t overthink it!"

"Oh, okay!" He Tiantian laughed. Yes, that must be it, "I understand now. From now on, whenever I’m in danger, the first one I’ll think of is the Snake King. Is that good enough? By the way, can you tell me what’s been bothering you lately?"

The Snake King, within the Spatial Barrier, looked at his plump, tender little arms and legs and shed two lines of hot tears!

"It’s nothing; I just miss home," the Snake King came up with a few far-fetched excuses.

But He Tiantian believed such excuses, saying wistfully, "Yes, when I don’t see my parents for a long time, I miss home too. You must feel the same way. Let’s both work hard so we can overcome the Heavenly Tribulation soon and you can go home early."

Boo-hoo-hoo...

A damage of ten thousand points...

That blockhead He Tiantian actually believed it!

"I need to cultivate," the Snake King lamented, and then fell silent.

Seeing that the Snake King had gone quiet, He Tiantian introspected. Perhaps, the arrival of her parents and the reunion of her family had made it painfully obvious to the Snake King.

Such a comparison could make one feel downhearted.

If there were a good way to help the Snake King with his cultivation, He Tiantian would definitely do her best to seek it out.
