Huo Ruihua remained silent, but agreed with his sister's words.

Although he's called an uncle, who knows what kind of uncle he is? Their only real uncle is He Doudou!

He's only a year older than them and he's currently in America!

"Fine." The Snake King, feeling aggrieved and teased by the two children, wanted to return to the demon realm. "Sister Sweetie..."

Seeing the Snake King's awkward expression, He Tiantian smiled and said, "Let's go, my good little brother... I'll take you to Tan Family Cuisine for dinner tonight."

Upon hearing the name, the two children's eyes lit up, and they couldn't wait to go right now.

"Is it delicious?" the Snake King asked, now showing some interest in human food.

"It's delicious. You'll never forget it after you've tasted it," Huo Ruimin said. "The ingredients are top-notch. Hurry up and buy some things; I can't wait."

He Tiantian took Snake King to the mall to buy things. They finally bought everything on the list, had the bodyguard take them home, and then the group headed to Tan Family Cuisine.

Because she had made a reservation beforehand, He Tiantian went straight into the private room.

Huo Yingjie, Zhou Yuanchao, and Wang Ying, as well as Zhou Bin from Wang Ying's family, filled the table.

There were many people today, so He Tiantian prepared a large table of dishes.

Afterwards, He Tiantian introduced Zhou Yuanchao and his wife to the Snake King.

I heard that the Snake King is He Tiantian's cousin, and he was very friendly with her.

Wang Ying's professional instincts kicked in, and she immediately offered to give him a set of cosmetics.

During the meal, the Snake King was so focused on eating that he didn't pay any attention to what the others were saying.

It really was delicious.

When he got back that night, the Snake King was a little full, but very satisfied.

When they got home, the Snake King jumped onto the roof, with the Little Turtle lying beside him, and the two of them looked at the moon together.

"Snake King, I'm sorry," the little tortoise apologized. "My master and wife weren't home at the time, so I had to be careful. Please forgive me."

"It's alright." The Snake King was in a good mood after eating and drinking his fill. "I understand your difficulties now. It seems that even in the human world, Huo Yingjie is not omnipotent, nor is he very safe."

The little tortoise nodded and said, "Yes, we live in the human realm, so we must do things the way of the human realm, not the old rules. By the way, are you going back this time?"

“I might go back,” the Snake King said. “I found that I don’t like being the Snake King. I came out to travel and happened to hear that Sweetie was in trouble, so I came here. However, I tore through space at that time, which took a lot of effort. There was a monster in the space that came through the rift when I wasn’t paying attention. One of them was a fox spirit, and I didn’t see the first one clearly.”

The little tortoise was greatly alarmed and said, "I need to tell my master about this and ask him to be careful."

"What's there to be afraid of? Huo Yingjie is so powerful." The Snake King chuckled. "By the way, you've improved quite a bit too. I'll stay in the human realm for a while before going back. Perhaps I'll return after I've dealt with things in the demon realm, then you'll have someone to keep you company."

“That’s great,” said the little tortoise. “You can have your master help you travel freely between the human and demon realms, so you won’t have to go through so much trouble every time.”

"Heh, given Huo Yingjie's stingy nature, he probably won't help me," the Snake King said. "I'll have to rely on myself."

One was the owner, the other a friend; the little tortoise was in a dilemma.

"Alright, that's enough," said the Snake King. "In short, I'm very happy to see you all, and I cherish the good things in life right now."

The little tortoise smiled and said, "Actually, I think it's quite interesting now. If you like, you can stay. We can cultivate together and go out to play together."

“Hehe, alright,” said the Snake King. “I also think the Demon Realm is boring, and I’ve discovered that the cultivation speed here is even faster than in the Demon Realm, so it’s better not to go back.”

“Yes, it’s quite nice to cultivate here,” the little tortoise said. “It’s lively here, and there are many interesting things to do. You’ll like it here. Alright, I won’t say any more. I should get up early and go back to cultivate. I hope that one day I can transform into human form. You should also go back and rest early. There’s plenty of time in the future, and we can chat properly again later.”

"Okay, you can go back now. I'll sit for a while longer." The Snake King lay on the roof, gazing up at the sky and the stars, wondering if he might be one of those stars.

The little tortoise left, and the snake king continued to lie silently.

A moment later, a figure came up.

The Snake King looked closely and realized it was Huo Yingjie.

"Do you want to stay in the human realm forever?" Huo Yingjie asked. "Don't you want to..."

"Have you returned to the demon realm?"

"Are you just hoping I'll go back soon?" the Snake King retorted. "Actually, I've given up. You don't need to worry that I'm after your wife."

"Hehe, of course I know, otherwise you wouldn't be able to get in," Huo Yingjie said. "We've known each other for so many years, I know a bit about you. You want to travel between the human realm and the demon realm, but your cultivation method isn't enough to do that, is that right?"

“Yes, when I came here this time, two spirits took advantage of the chaos to escape to the human world through a spatial rift. I was busy rescuing Tian Tian and didn’t have time to track them down,” the Snake King said. “I’ve decided to catch those two spirits and then go back.”

"Hmm." Huo Yingjie smiled. "You have a strong sense of responsibility."

"No need to say that. I just don't want spirits to harm innocent people," said the Snake King. "Alright, it's getting late, I should go and rest."

Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "Actually, you don't need to be in such a hurry. I still have something to say."

It was rare to see Huo Yingjie so amiable, and the Snake King was somewhat surprised. He asked in return, "Given how much you dislike me, you probably don't have anything nice to say to me."

"Hehe, it seems you have a prejudice against me too." Huo Yingjie smiled, not caring at all. He was a mature man now, why would he argue with a young and impulsive guy?

"It's not prejudice, it's just stating the facts," said the Snake King. "Alright, just say it."

Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "Stay here. Tian Tian treats you like a younger brother, and the three children like you too. At the same time, I will teach you the secret techniques for traveling between the human and demon realms without expending too much magic power."

"Oh? Such a good thing?" The Snake King was taken aback. "Tell me, what price do I need to pay?"

"It's not a price to pay, I just hope you'll stay," Huo Yingjie said with a smile. "If you like it here, then stay. I really mean it. Thank you for saving Tian Tian before."

The Snake King was somewhat moved, feeling that his kindness had been rewarded. He nodded and said, "Yes, I also want to learn more about human wisdom. Last time, I used the wisdom I learned from humans to easily resolve our clan's crisis. Anyway, the cultivation speed here is no slower than in the demon realm, and with your guidance, this is indeed a good place."
