The Sweetness of the Seventies
Chapter 510 - 481

Chapter 510: 481

Huo Yingjun finished speaking and, without waiting for He Tiantian to respond, pulled Huo Yingqi out and left.

Huo Yingjun knew that the more he let his sister stay and speak, the more they would offend He Tiantian. The only solution was to get his sister, Huo Yingqi, away as quickly as possible.

Seeing them leave, He Tiantian wasn’t angry.

Someone like Huo Yingqi, who couldn’t distinguish right from wrong and was stubborn in her views, living in her own world was in itself a sad thing!

Faced with such a pitiful person, He Tiantian had no energy to be angry with her.

Especially now that Huo Yingjie was still in a coma, He Tiantian was even less in the mood for it!

"Brother Yingjie, please wake up soon," He Tiantian implored, feeling very sad to see Huo Yingjie like this.

Her Brother Yingjie had always stood tall and upright, like a graceful bamboo or a gallant young pine, not just lying silently in bed.

With no one else in the room, the Snake King said, "Little Rotating Turtle, come out and tell us what exactly is going on."

Startled, with tearful eyes, He Tiantian watched the Little Rotating Turtle appear beside Huo Yingjie’s shoulder and asked, "Little Rotating Turtle, what exactly happened? You must give me a detailed explanation. Hold on, let me first ask the Snake King, can Brother Yingjie still wake up?"

The Snake King’s true form was very large, making it inconvenient for him to appear.

He didn’t want He Tiantian to see his human form, so he could only respond to her questions from within the barrier.

"Huo Yingjie’s soul has greatly dissipated, and I don’t know if it can be collected back," the Snake King hesitantly said. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to save Huo Yingjie, but that Huo Yingjie’s condition was really bad.

"But Brother Yingjie can move, can hear me talk, so why can’t he wake up?" He Tiantian retorted. With his soul gone, was nothing left but an empty shell?

The Little Rotating Turtle said with difficulty, "That’s because I’m the one moving him!"

"What?" He Tiantian almost forgot her sorrow, "What on Earth is going on? Hurry up and tell me, Little Rotating Turtle?"

Also feeling very sad, the Little Rotating Turtle said, "My master and I were attacked, that missile was extremely powerful, and we were too close with not enough time to reinforce the barrier. My powers are limited; I could only protect my master’s body, and my master’s already unstable soul was scattered. I, too, was heavily wounded at the time and had no ability to help my master collect his soul. Knowing my own capabilities were insufficient to aid my master, the only ones who could help were you and the Snake King, so when they mentioned you, I reacted, prompting them to bring you over."

Upon hearing this, He Tiantian couldn’t hold back anymore and burst into loud sobs, asking, "If we can’t find all of Brother Yingjie’s soul, does that mean he’ll just keep sleeping like this?"

Despite not wanting to admit it, the Little Rotating Turtle didn’t want to deceive He Tiantian and nodded.

He Tiantian lay beside Huo Yingjie, tightly gripping his arm, unable to stop her grief. Aside from crying, she didn’t know what else to do!

He Tiantian cried for Huo Yingjie, so young to have become like this!

He Tiantian cried for the many difficulties she and Huo Yingjie had faced, thinking they could finally be happy together, and yet such a thing occurred.

He Tiantian cried, uncertain about what to do about the future!

"Snake King, please help my master," the Little Rotating Turtle said. "If there’s anyone in this world who can help my master, aside from you, I can’t think of another."

He Tiantian cried so heartbrokenly, she didn’t hear the Little Rotating Turtle’s words.

The Snake King said nothing, the sound of He Tiantian’s crying heavily weighing on his heart, leaving him even more conflicted and indecisive.

He Tiantian lay on Huo Yingjie’s body, weeping, her tears falling down her cheeks onto Huo Yingjie’s clothes.

Perhaps He Tiantian’s shaking was a bit too vigorous, causing Huo Yingjie’s shirt buttons to come undone, and her tears to drip onto the jade pendant on Huo Yingjie’s chest.

This jade pendant was a dragon pendant, and together with the one He Tiantian had before, they made a pair.

The majestic dragon motif stirred upon contact with He Tiantian’s tears, altering its shape slightly and emitting a faint dazzling glow.

He Tiantian cried with her eyes closed and didn’t see the light at all.

Just because Tiantian didn’t see it, didn’t mean Little Rotating Turtle and the Snake King didn’t.

"Master, master..." Little Rotating Turtle crawled up, eager to see that light.

However, the tears on the jade pendant were absorbed, and it no longer emitted light.

The Snake King’s magical powers were much stronger than Little Rotating Turtle’s, and he sensed the familiar glow instantly. It was somewhat similar to the jade pendant on his own neck, yet slightly different.

"Stop crying," scolded the Snake King, irritated by He Tiantian’s weeping, "If you want him to never wake up, then keep crying..."

"Ah?" upon hearing the Snake King’s scolding, He Tiantian quickly covered her mouth, probably too abruptly, as she felt a pressure caught in her chest, "Hic... hic..."

Worried that the Snake King might regret his words, He Tiantian covered her mouth and stared with her big, red, glistening eyes.

At the same time, she kept hiccuping!

Tiantian stepped aside, no longer blocking Huo Yingjie.

The Snake King emerged from the magical barrier in his human form, as his true body was inconvenient for the situation!

The first thing he did after coming out was to wave his hand and create a barrier.

From the outside looking in, the room contained only Tiantian, with no one else visible.

As the Snake King stepped out, Tiantian was once again astonished. She walked up to the Snake King, who was a head taller than her in his human form, and stammered, "Snake King, how... how did you get so tall?"

Tiantian just walked behind the Snake King and hadn’t seen his face yet; she only estimated that the Snake King was very tall.

Moreover, the Snake King was dressed in a sharp suit with shiny black leather shoes and neatly cut short hair.

Even without seeing him from the front, the Snake King’s appearance was much more stylish than the first time he had transformed into a human form, wearing a bright red bellyband and looking like a chubby doll.

Back then, the Snake King was chubby like a child in New Year paintings. What was funnier was that, aside from the red bellyband, he had no other clothes on—just a bare little kid. It was Tiantian who had made him a few clothes.

These clothes and shoes were very delicate, probably acquired from some clothing store in New York, USA.

"It’s you who are short, okay?" the Snake King turned around to look at He Tiantian two steps away.

Tiantian froze once more, finally seeing the Snake King’s features clearly.

Pale skin, slender monolid eyes, a straight nose, thin lips, all giving off a somewhat sinister vibe.

Tiantian was familiar with the Snake King, but she also felt that this side of the Snake King was a bit strange, standing beside him made her feel pressured.

"Snake King, you’re really handsome," said He Tiantian. "Do you have a way to save Brother Yingjie?"

The Snake King walked leisurely to Huo Yingjie’s bedside, his slender eyes narrowing to mere slits. No one could see his gaze, let alone know what he was thinking.
