Chapter 511: Chapter 482: Repairing Divine Sense, A Rush of Jealousy_1

The Snake King was filled with complex emotions as he thought back to the beginning, when every time he saw Huo Yingjie, he could only hide within the barrier, unable to come out, or if he did come out, he couldn’t get back in.

Whenever Huo Yingjie appeared, he would become a pitiful wretch.

Back then, he swore that he must become strong, so that one day Huo Yingjie would be afraid of him when they met.

However, now that Huo Yingjie’s Divine Sense had dissipated, he could stand before him, rightfully a strong being, while Huo Yingjie was nothing more than a living dead.

Logically, he should be happy, but he did not feel the joy and excitement he had imagined.

A true strong being does not avoid challenges but faces them head-on.

Privately, he wished Huo Yingjie would just die or remain in a comatose state, so he could have He Tiantian all to himself.

Perhaps He Tiantian only had a few decades to live, but he wanted to be with her for that lifetime, wishing to provide a perfect ending to her life.

Yet, seeing He Tiantian’s tears, he knew that all of this was just his wishful thinking.

He Tiantian had never truly belonged to him!

If Huo Yingjie died, he would remain forever in He Tiantian’s memories; if Huo Yingjie lived, He Tiantian would always stay by his side.

So after some hesitation, he decided to save Huo Yingjie first.

From the perspective of a strong being, the Snake King hoped to have a fair duel with Huo Yingjie.

If Huo Yingjie just died like this, or always remained a living dead, he would become the eternal demon in his heart, even affecting his cultivation and Tribulation.

So he must revive Huo Yingjie.

"I can try!" the Snake King said coldly, reaching into Huo Yingjie’s clothes, he took out a Jade Pendant, pulled hard, the string broke, and he placed it in the palm of his hand.

The Snake King took off the Phoenix Pendant around his neck, put both pendants together, and then looked at He Tiantian, "Cry, cry loudly..."

He Tiantian’s eyes were sore, not understanding why the Snake King said this.

"Cry quickly, I don’t have much time to waste with you outside. If you want Huo Yingjie to wake up, then cry quickly and shed more tears," the Snake King said impatiently, worried that if he waited longer, he might change his mind.

Previously overwhelmed with sadness, tears had come naturally to He Tiantian, but being scolded by the Snake King, she couldn’t cry anymore.

Just then, the Little Rotating Turtle crawled onto He Tiantian’s arm, and bit her hard.

He Tiantian felt the pain, and tears once again gathered, dropping several onto the Dragon Pendant and the Phoenix Pendant.

The Snake King placed both pendants on Huo Yingjie’s body and waited quietly.

Suddenly, white smoke rose from the two pendants, not light, but mist that gradually expanded. In just a dozen breaths, a thin layer of mist had enveloped Huo Yingjie’s body, drifting back and forth.

Even though she was accustomed to unbelievable sights, He Tiantian was still shocked by what she saw.

"What are we doing?" He Tiantian asked softly, as she was very curious.

"Shh..." the Snake King made a shushing gesture.

He Tiantian quickly shut her mouth, silently waiting for a miracle.

About a quarter hour later, the mist that had enveloped Huo Yingjie finally began to disperse.

As the mist was about to clear, the Little Rotating Turtle devoured the remaining mist greedily, swallowing up most of it.

Snake King reached out and took the two jade pendants, saying, "That’s enough for today, we’ll continue tomorrow!"

After speaking, Snake King entered the barrier without paying any attention to He Tiantian.

Seeing Snake King had left and that he had severed her connection with the barrier, He Tiantian, unable to ask Snake King, could only turn to Little Rotating Turtle for answers.

"Little Rotating Turtle, can you explain this to me?" He Tiantian asked, looking at the little creature whose belly was now satisfyingly round.

Little Rotating Turtle was excited and said, "Tiantian, Snake King used two pieces of Ancient Divine Jade to replenish master’s Divine Sense. Although the process is slow, I can feel that the strand of Divine Sense he left behind has grown considerably. With time, master will be able to wake up. Now that I’ve absorbed some of the residual Spiritual Power, I need to cultivate properly."

After finishing, Little Rotating Turtle disappeared as well, entering the barrier it had created for itself.

The hospital room now contained only He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie.

He Tiantian helped Huo Yingjie fasten his buttons and adjust his blanket before holding his hand and placing a soft kiss on his face, whispering, "Brother Yingjie, you must stay strong, no matter what, I will be by your side."

After experiencing such sorrow, He Tiantian had come to understand her own feelings.

As long as Huo Yingjie lived, she would stay by his side and take care of him.

If Huo Yingjie was destined to be like this for life, then she would take care of him for life.

He Tiantian didn’t know if Huo Yingjie had faced such tribulations in his past life, but she knew that his life must not have been easy.

They had not come together, for both subjective and objective reasons.

This life, having gone through these events, she was even less likely to change her mind.

If Brother Yingjie could get through the Tribulation in his past life, then with her by his side this time, Brother Yingjie could do the same.

At this moment, a nurse came in carrying hot water.

"Comrade, could you please get up for a moment? I need to clean Comrade Huo," the nurse said softly, very politely.

But why are you blushing to come here and clean? That’s the nurse’s job!

Thinking of Huo Yingjie’s physique, which seemed lean in clothes but was actually muscular underneath, He Tiantian was not pleased.

Considering the nurse was about the same age as He Tiantian and, despite professional ethics, had done this kind of work many times, it was understandable that she might have some thoughts upon seeing the body of a young and handsome patient.

With this in mind, He Tiantian said, "I am Comrade Huo’s fiancée; I should do this kind of work myself."

"Ah?" The nurse was taken aback, showing a trace of embarrassment, "That doesn’t seem quite right; this is my job."

He Tiantian’s jealousy flared up, and it was something fierce, "Men and women should not touch when it is unnecessary. As fiancé and fiancée, it’s somewhat acceptable. It would be too much to ask this of you."

"I’m afraid you might not know how to do it, which wouldn’t be good for Comrade Huo," the nurse insisted, disagreeing.

Just then, Zhao Huanhuan came to make her rounds.

He Tiantian asked, "Sister-in-law, may I help Yingjie with his sponge bath?"

Zhao Huanhuan was surprised, then said, "That is usually the nurse’s job, but Yingjie’s condition isn’t serious, so you can help him clean. After all, you are engaged to be married; it’s acceptable for you to do such things."

Zhao Huanhuan already knew from her grandparents that Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian were not only engaged, but that their marriage application had been approved and only the official marriage certificate was pending.

He Tiantian stepped forward to take the water basin from the nurse’s hand, saying, "I really appreciate how you’ve taken care of my fiancé until now!"

"No need... no need to thank me," the nurse replied somewhat stutteringly, "I’ll come back for the basin later!"

"Thank you," He Tiantian said gratefully, watching as the nurse left.
