Chapter 391: Chapter 362 "Beauty is a Curse" _1

He Tiantian, that foolish girl, actually wants to have a child with Huo Yingjie?

The Snake King, filled with irritation and rage, snarled, "I don’t care who you have a child with, but as long as I haven’t achieved great mastery in cultivation, your blood must not be tainted otherwise, I’ll bite you to death, bite your whole family to death, bite that damned Huo Yingjie to death..."

When mentioning Huo Yingjie at the end, the Snake King seemed to be almost hissing and gasping for breath.

He Tiantian was easy to deal with, but that Huo Yingjie was not!

This was indeed the source of the Snake King’s hissing exhaustion and utter frustration.

"Alright, alright, I remember now, so I said it was just a thought in my head!" He Tiantian quickly tried to appease the Snake King, finding the image of a little brat jumping around on the bed quite hilarious.

However, since the Snake King had a strong sense of pride, she dared not laugh, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

The Snake King didn’t want to see He Tiantian’s annoying face and entered the Barrier Space.

"Snake King, be vigilant, our lives and livelihoods are all dependent on you," He Tiantian said gingerly with a placating smile, "Although I made you angry just now, in my heart, you’re still the omnipotent Snake King! Nobody can compare to you."

Hearing these words from inside the Barrier Space, the Snake King felt somewhat comforted. That’s more like it.

"Enough with the prattle, woman. As I’ve said before, with me around, you won’t be in any danger," the Snake King declared and fell silent, but left a thread of spiritual awareness outside, able to detect anything within a three-kilometer radius.

With the Snake King’s promise, He Tiantian soon drifted into sleep.

But in the middle of the night, someone was knocking on the door.

He Tiantian got up in a panic, had those bad people come tonight? Why hadn’t the Snake King noticed?

This is so unreliable!

"Sister Tiantian, Sister Tiantian..." the voice of Qi Zhengmin came from the doorway.

He Tiantian paused, recognized the voice as Qi Zhengmin, and then went to open the door in her slippers.

"Zhengmin, why aren’t you sleeping in the middle of the night, what are you doing here?" asked He Tiantian curiously, letting Qi Zhengmin come in.

Once inside the house, He Tiantian saw that Qi Zhengmin was holding a cartoon-patterned large pillow, wearing pajamas, and looking pitifully at He Tiantian.

"Sister Tiantian, I’m a little scared to sleep alone," Qi Zhengmin said softly. "I was thinking... I want to sleep with you..."

He Tiantian was stunned. With so many elders at Qi Zhengmin’s home, it shouldn’t be her turn!

Without waiting for an answer, Qi Zhengmin, thinking that He Tiantian was unwilling, explained in a low voice, "Dad and Mom are sleeping together; I can’t disturb them. My brother has grown up, and Mom says I can’t sleep with him anymore. Grandma is getting on in years, and I’m afraid of disturbing her rest, so..."

Now I understand, He Tiantian chuckled and said, "Okay then, sleep with me. But I’m not the most graceful sleeper, so don’t be mad if I kick you at night!"

Hearing this, Qi Zhengmin quickly climbed onto the bed, smiling, "My mom says my sleeping habits aren’t great either, it’s fine, the bed is big enough, we can sleep under separate blankets."

He Tiantian took another blanket and gave the original one to Qi Zhengmin.

"Well then, it’s late, let’s hurry up and sleep," He Tiantian said, lest the little girl get so excited as to want a bedtime chat with her. She didn’t have that many things to talk about with a little girl.

"Mm-hmm, I’m sleepy too." Qi Zhengmin burrowed into the blankets, patting the space next to her, "Sister Tiantian, you should sleep too."

He Tiantian went to bed and had just turned off the light when Qi Zhengmin leaned over from the other side and whispered, "Sister Tiantian, I’ve always wanted a sister since I was little. Someone to play with, to sleep with, and to buy hair accessories and clothes with..."

I knew this little chatterbox wouldn’t just go to sleep quietly.

"Oh oh!" He Tiantian mumbled sleepily, "Then you can ask your mom to have a sister for you!"

"Haha!" Qi Zhengmin giggled, "Sister Tiantian, you’re so cute! Mom can only have a younger sister or a brother, how can she have an older sister for me?"

Kids these days are not easy to fool!

"Oh, then have your mom have a younger sister for you," He Tiantian suggested again. "That way, you can teach her to dance, to buy clothes, to sing..."

After thinking it over, Qi Zhengmin said, "No, I still prefer others to play with me. I’m very busy, and once I fall in love, I won’t have time to take care of kids."

Fall in love?

He Tiantian was completely exasperated—do kids mature this early nowadays?

"Zhengmin, you’re still too young for dating," He Tiantian tried to dissuade, "That’s for adults, you shouldn’t get involved!"

"Third Grandma Qi said, you already have a fiancé, so why can’t I talk about love?" Qi Zhengmin lay there, asking seriously, "I learned an idiom, it goes, ’Officials are allowed to set fires while commoners can’t even light a lamp.’ This is exactly what you’re doing, you’re dating but don’t let others date!"

This comparison seems a bit... a bit...

"Fine, I guess I’m not in a position to lecture you," He Tiantian said speechless. She and Huo Yingjie were different, okay?

"I know, you are childhood sweethearts, no wonder my brother is so disappointed," Qi Zhengmin said, betraying her own brother with a single sentence, "Sister Tiantian, is your fiancé really handsome? Is he excellent?"

He Tiantian covered Qi Zhengmin’s eyes with her hand and said, "If you don’t go to sleep now, I’m going to throw you out."

"Okay, okay, I’ll stop," Qi Zhengmin quickly agreed, "Sister Tiantian..."

"One more peep..." He Tiantian threatened, "Children should go to bed at night—you shouldn’t be too curious!"

"Alright," Qi Zhengmin replied dejectedly, not wanting to be thrown out by Sister Tiantian. She was truly frightened to sleep in her own room alone.

Listening to He Tiantian’s steady breathing next to her, Qi Zhengmin yawned and fell asleep.

When He Tiantian got up in the morning, Qi Zhengmin was still sleeping!

He Tiantian changed into her sportswear and went out for a run.

Not having to work every day or climb mountains, He Tiantian, having gained a little weight from eating more, was now running every day to maintain her figure and agility.

Third Grandma Qi was out for a walk.

Sometimes, she would meet Qi Zhenghan in the estate, but they would just nod at each other and keep to their own runs.

Ah, it’s quite awkward, even Qi Zhengmin could tell Qi Zhenghan liked her.

He Tiantian was quite speechless, experiencing for the first time the exasperation of "bringing disaster with one’s beauty." Being attractive wasn’t always a good thing!

She hoped this would end soon so she could return to her country earlier and not have to face Qi Zhenghan anymore.

For He Tiantian, who already had her heart set on someone else, she dared not get close to someone else’s feelings because she knew she was destined to let them down!
