Chapter 546: Chapter 517 He’s Still a Child_1

He Tiantian turned her head, adopting a teasing posture—who couldn’t do that? She was self-taught.

"Weren’t you ignoring me?" He Tiantian, having the upper hand, didn’t let it go and took the initiative to attack.

Huo Yingjie looked up at He Tiantian, who now had the appearance of a little rascal, and said with a hint of helplessness, "I wasn’t ignoring you!"

"Nonsense. Can’t I tell when you’re angry or ignoring me?" He Tiantian retorted. "Don’t think of me as a fool. I’m very shrewd, so don’t try to deceive me."

Shrewd?

She didn’t even realize when he was angry, let alone why he was angry!

What kind of shrewdness was that?

Huo Yingjie glared at He Tiantian, slightly annoyed, "You are just a little fool!"

"You’re the little fool," He Tiantian argued back. "Tell me, why are you angry? You said before that if there was anything I needed to talk to you about, I should. But what about you? You keep things to yourself, you don’t keep your word."

Huo Yingjie looked a bit awkward as He Tiantian questioned him, his eyes darting around, but he was too proud to admit it.

"Say it, if you don’t, then I’m just going to make wild guesses?" He Tiantian said, shaking Huo Yingjie’s arm.

Shaken by He Tiantian, Huo Yingjie felt a bit dizzy. His face showed a trace of shyness as he said, "Encountering that Little Spirit Snake was the luckiest thing for you—so what am I, then?"

"Ah?" He Tiantian was surprised and covered her mouth. She understood now.

Huo Yingjie was jealous.

Jealous of a snake, no less!

This unlabelled vinegar he was eating tasted surprisingly sweet!

Though it was incredible, it was happening to Huo Yingjie, and He Tiantian was very curious about it.

"Jealous?" He Tiantian laughed like a little fox that had just stolen a chicken, her eyes sparkling and watery.

"Not at all!" Huo Yingjie objected, refusing to admit his jealousy.

A man of his stature couldn’t afford such a loss of face.

"Haha, then why are your ears so red?" He Tiantian laughed. "Don’t you know your ears turn red when you lie?"

Huo Yingjie covered his ears with both hands.

At that moment, He Tiantian found Huo Yingjie incredibly amusing.

This sweet old vinegar was pleasing to He Tiantian.

"Still angry?" He Tiantian asked mischievously, blinking her eyes.

Huo Yingjie shook his head, then nodded.

"What does that mean, shaking your head and then nodding?" He Tiantian was puzzled. "Tell me clearly, if you don’t tell me, how can I guess what you’re thinking? Don’t provoke me, I’ll punish you."

Huo Yingjie stared at He Tiantian intently, thought for a moment, and said, "Then just punish me!"

As he spoke, he even licked his lips.

Calling him a seductive little demon wasn’t wrong at all.

So thick-faced!

He Tiantian admitted she was tempted.

"Alright, now you tell me," He Tiantian said. "This is the last time I’m asking you."

"I just feel like you treat that Little Spirit Snake better than you treat me," Huo Yingjie said softly, his face slightly red and his gaze flickering as he looked away.

"But you said it yourself, that’s a snake and I’m a human, different paths for humans and demons. I certainly don’t want to stir up a ’Legend of the White Snake.’ Besides, Snake King is my friend, and he’s still a child. We’re adults, of course, we should care more about Snake King," He Tiantian explained, not wanting Huo Yingjie to misunderstand Snake King.

Humans and demons on different paths?

Objectively, He Tiantian ruled out Snake King.

He’s still a child?

Good, that would mean she wouldn’t harbor romantic feelings for Snake King.

If that was the case, what was there left for him to worry about?

Rather than being gloomy here, he should take the opportunity to deal with that annoying Little Spirit Snake.

Seeing He Tiantian speak so candidly, without any deceit, Huo Yingjie felt very relieved and said with a chuckle, "Ha, you’re right, I thought wrongly. In the future, let’s take care of Little Spirit Snake together and help him achieve great mastery in cultivation and return to the Demon Clan."

Sending that Little Spirit Snake away from here was indeed the most permanent solution.

Seeing Huo Yingjie respond like this, He Tiantian smiled and said, "It’s great that you can think like this. You are the only one in my heart; it’s already full and there’s no room for anyone else. So, stop getting jealous over nothing."

Despite feeling a bit embarrassed, Huo Yingjie was still very happy.

His upturned lips showed his good mood!

"Oh my, already talking about love in the middle of the road!" came a crisp female voice, followed by giggles.

He Tiantian’s face turned beet-red as she shouted, "Qi Xiaoyan, come out here right now!"

"Ouch, embarrassed? Feeling shy?" Qi Xiaoyan laughed, "If you dare to do it, why be afraid of us watching? Right, Qi Daniu?"

Qi Daniu, who had never been in a relationship and was relatively young, blushed and didn’t dare join in the conversation.

He Tiantian pinched Qi Xiaoyan’s arm and scolded, "Don’t be a bad influence on the kids."

"Sister Tiantian, I’m not young anymore," Qi Daniu said softly. Her mother had already started looking for suitors for her, which made her heart flutter at the thought of men.

"Stop causing trouble," He Tiantian said. "Those who don’t want to see, don’t look. And don’t learn from your sister Xiao Yan. You’ve only been out for three years, and you’ve already gone bad."

"That’s not true!" Qi Xiaoyan defended herself, "Speaking of leading kids astray, I just talked about it, you actually do it!"

Huo Yingjie, embarrassed to watch the women bicker, quickly walked ahead, waiting for He Tiantian.

"By the way, what are you doing here?" He Tiantian asked, noticing they were carrying basins, "Are you going to take a bath?"

"Yeah!" Qi Xiaoyan said, "My dad said that today they’ve made a special place for unmarried girls to take a bath."

"It should be ready by now; you guys go ahead," He Tiantian said. "I have some sour jujubes here, do you want to take some to eat?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Xiaoyan’s eyes lit up, and she nodded, "Of course."

He Tiantian grabbed a lot for them and said, "Take these and share with everyone."

"Okay," Qi Daniu said. "Sister Tiantian, come and join us for a bath."

He Tiantian looked at Huo Yingjie and said, "Not today, call me next time you go."

"Hehe!" Qi Xiaoyan made a teasing gesture, "Alright then, we’ll leave you two alone. Next time we’ll call you. We won’t disturb your romantic chat anymore."

Qi Daniu giggled on the side.

"Still talking?" He Tiantian glared at Qi Xiaoyan and Qi Daniu.

"Hahaha!" Both of them hurried along, "We won’t talk anymore, we won’t talk anymore."
