Chapter 369: Chapter 340 Rejection, Discovery_1

Yes, the Snake King has a heavy responsibility; he must work hard!

There are still two more Heavenly Tribulations, no room for any carelessness.

"Keep up the good work," He Tiantian encouraged, "I’m going to study hard too, hoping to make progress soon."

Starting tomorrow, she had to study diligently; she couldn’t let everyone down.

She was going to become a top student!

She was going to make a comeback!

The Snake King nodded, "Effort is necessary!"

"By the way, have you seen Little Rotating Turtle?" He Tiantian asked. This time, she had very few chances to be alone with Huo Yingjie, and she had forgotten about the Little Rotating Turtle.

"It wanted to see me, the great lord, but I am very busy and did not see it," the Snake King said proudly, only it knew the truth.

At that time, it was practicing cultivation inside of the protective barrier wearing a bellyband, how could it come out to meet Little Rotating Turtle!

It would damage its majestic image too much!

No coming out, absolutely not coming out!

"The Little Rotating Turtle came all this way; by doing this, aren’t you being a bit heartless?" He Tiantian accused, "Remember, visitors are guests, okay!"

Just then, He Tiantian’s door was suddenly opened, and someone came in.

He Tiantian looked closely and saw that it was Huo Yingjie.

Huo Yingjie closed the door and walked up to He Tiantian.

The Snake King was also stunned; hadn’t this annoying guy left? Why was he back again?

Because Huo Yingjie was holding He Tiantian, now the Snake King couldn’t get close to her; it landed on He Tiantian’s blanket in mid-air and could only rigidly crawl into the covers.

"Brother Yingjie, why have you come back?" He Tiantian asked, very curious.

Huo Yingjie pulled out the Little Rotating Turtle from his pocket and said, "Tiantian, this is a good thing. Keep it with you; it will protect you."

When He Tiantian saw the Little Rotating Turtle, she smiled and said, "Brother Yingjie, I’m quite safe here, you don’t have to worry about me. You take it, if you have it with you at the research institute, then I’ll be at ease."

"No way, it’s better to keep it with you," Huo Yingjie said, "I’m a man; I have ways to protect myself."

After saying that, he stuffed the Little Rotating Turtle into He Tiantian’s hand, kissed her, and turned around to leave.

He Tiantian felt very touched; this was Huo Yingjie’s love for her!

Since the Snake King was there, she was safe, so she absolutely couldn’t accept the Little Rotating Turtle.

He Tiantian chased after him, determined to return the Little Rotating Turtle to Huo Yingjie.

"The master is so deeply in love!" The Little Rotating Turtle’s voice echoed in He Tiantian’s mind.

He Tiantian chuckled and said, "Yes, and that’s precisely why I cannot accept it. I’m safe, and I hope you can take good care of Huo Yingjie."

The Little Rotating Turtle nodded, "I will."

He Tiantian ran quickly and caught up with Huo Yingjie at the entrance of the village.

Not far away were several ox carts; everyone was waiting for Huo Yingjie!

"Brother Yingjie, you take it. If you don’t, I... I’ll hang myself..." In her panic, He Tiantian blurted out.

She went straight past weeping and making a fuss and went right to threatening to hang herself.

"Be good, Sweet Treasure," Huo Yingjie soothed, stroking her head softly.

He Tiantian felt guilty but couldn’t admit it, somewhat annoyed and angry, "Are you going to take it or not? If you don’t, I’ll... I’ll show you my death..."

"Sweet Treasure..." Huo Yingjie gave a wry smile. It seems Little Rotating Turtle wasn’t lying last time; Tiantian was indeed using death as a threat.

"If you’re worried about me, you can arrange more people to protect me," He Tiantian said, "The Little Rotating Turtle was originally yours, and it would serve its purpose by your side. I’m here with so many people helping me, I’m doing well if I don’t bully others, nobody dares to bully me."

He Jingyu approached and asked, "What are you talking about?"

He Tiantian quickly stuffed Little Rotating Turtle into Huo Yingjie’s pocket and said, "Don’t let my dad see it!"

Huo Yingjie felt incredibly touched, his Sweet Treasure was still putting his safety first.

"Alright then," Huo Yingjie agreed, thankfully the Zhou Family was about to collapse and shouldn’t cause chaos anymore.

As long as there were no threats from the higher-ups, He Tiantian could handle it.

Huo Yingjie boarded the ox cart, and He Tiantian stood at the entrance of the village, watching the ox cart slowly depart, its shadow shrinking smaller and smaller until it disappeared.

For some reason, He Tiantian thought of a song at that moment.

Sending you off beyond the village edge, I have words to say...

By the time He Tiantian came back, she returned to her own room.

Third Grandma Qi and Wang Shuping exchanged glances and shook their heads, not following her in.

Let the daughter experience and understand the bittersweet parting on her own.

Once inside her room, He Tiantian took out her books and began to study English.

Because of Huo Yingjie’s interruption, He Tiantian had actually forgotten about the Snake King.

At this moment, the Snake King had already transformed into human form, unable to change back, and was stifling himself in the bedding, not daring to make a sound, lest He Tiantian discover him and see his embarrassing state.

After studying for over an hour, He Tiantian’s eyes felt a bit sore. Rubbing her eyes, she got up to walk around the room.

Suddenly, He Tiantian noticed her bedding was a bit messy, forming a small bulge as if a pillow was stuffed inside.

However, the pillow was on the bed head and not inside the bedding anymore. What was in there?

Yikes? The thing inside was moving?

He Tiantian was puzzled, could it be a little dog or a cat from someone else’s house?

Just the thought of those unclean little dogs or cats in her bedding made He Tiantian step forward quickly and she flung the bedding back.

The fling was significant, and He Tiantian was stunned.

"Aaah..." He Tiantian screamed, quite frightened!

How could there be a little baby inside her bedding!

The little baby on the bed blinked, also bewildered.

Wang Shuping, hearing He Tiantian’s scream from outside, quickly asked, "What’s wrong? Tiantian?"

"In my room... in my room..." He Tiantian stammered, but before she could finish speaking, she was again startled by the scene in front of her.

The little baby turned into a snake!

A shimmering golden snake!

That was the Snake King!

"Bang," Wang Shuping pushed open the door, "What’s the matter?"

He Tiantian turned around and hurriedly covered the bedding with her hand.

"Nothing!" He Tiantian quickly explained, "I... I just saw a mouse..."

Inside the bedding, the Snake King cried two lines of tears, streaming down non-stop.

Such an unlucky year!

He Tiantian must have seen his awkward appearance; how could he show his face to anyone in the future!

Wang Shuping looked around, seeing no trace of a mouse, and frowned, "The room is very clean, how could there be mice! Don’t be scared, when your dad comes back, we’ll get some mouse poison."

"Mhm," He Tiantian forced a smile, "I know, mice aren’t really that scary. It’s just they suddenly came out and gave me a fright."

"Sure, a sudden sighting would indeed cause a scream," Wang Shuping smiled, glanced at the messy bedding, and went over, intending to help He Tiantian make the bed.
