Seeing so many people going to the back mountain to hunt, He Tiantian thought of her cave. Although it was hidden, no one had ever discovered it in her previous life. Until she left Qijia Village to make a living elsewhere, that cave had always been her secret base.

That's because fewer people go to the back mountain, but now everyone knows there are no wild beasts there. Not only people from Qijia Village go there to hunt, but people from other villages do too. If they discover her secret base, she won't have anywhere to be alone anymore, and besides, there's a lot of wild rabbit meat and rabbit skins she's prepared there!

He Tiantian was frantic, pacing back and forth, completely lost. The Snake King, having finished his cultivation, saw He Tiantian on the verge of going berserk.

The Snake King thought something serious had happened and didn't disturb He Tiantian. But even as the Snake King, He Tiantian's shaking and swaying made him dizzy.

"You...you stop spinning around, just say what you have to say." The Snake King couldn't hold back any longer. He didn't ask, but this stupid woman wouldn't say anything.

He Tiantian then realized that the Snake King had woken up, and stammered, "N-nothing... nothing..."

He Tiantian didn't want to jeopardize the Snake King's cultivation over something so trivial, so she didn't plan to tell him. She would figure out a solution herself, and if all else failed, she would abandon the cave.

"What is it? I'm asking you one last time. If you don't tell me and it ruins my plans, I will... I will bite you to death..." the Snake King said menacingly, trying to scare He Tiantian.

In the past, He Tiantian would have been very scared.

But now!

Haha, He Tiantian is used to it and isn't afraid at all!

This snake king has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. It won't really hurt her, so He Tiantian isn't afraid of it.

As for the Snake King, he was sharp-tongued, but He Tiantian just took it as the king being angry and didn't take it to heart.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. Although the cave on the back mountain is very hidden, many people are going up the mountain now, and I'm worried that our cave will be discovered by others. There are so many things I've prepared inside," He Tiantian explained. "The reason I didn't tell you is because I was afraid you would waste your magic power and hinder your cultivation!" After learning about the consequences of the Snake King's abuse of magic power, He Tiantian secretly made up her mind that unless it was a crisis she couldn't handle, she would never bother the Snake King.

The Snake King looked at He Tiantian with the same look he had for an idiot. Could this woman be any more stupid?

That's where the Snake King bathes. How could he let those lowly and stupid humans discover his territory?

Although its magic power has not been fully restored, it is very easy for it to create a barrier in a place where it cannot move!

As for whether they will be punished by Heaven?

Haha, what a joke! If the Heavenly Dao of the human realm were this detailed, even ten Heavenly Daos wouldn't be enough!

"Idiot, this matter is for you to handle. That place has already been discovered." The Snake King said arrogantly and smugly, looking confident and in control.

He Tiantian was slightly taken aback; it seemed that the Snake King already knew.

"Why do you say that, Snake King?" He Tiantian asked hurriedly. "You can't abuse your magic!"

Seeing He Tiantian's concern, the Snake King felt a little smug. Considering that He Tiantian cared about it, it decided to explain to her carefully: "Since I bathed there, I have been nourished by the unique spiritual energy there and have advanced in level. The range of my spells has also increased. I really like that cave. I have set up a barrier there. Only we can enter. No one else can find it and absolutely cannot enter."

He Tiantian was overjoyed and excitedly said, "Snake King, you're amazing! I couldn't think of a good solution, but I didn't expect you to have already taken precautions."

"Hmph!" The Snake King arrogantly raised its chin. "That's right, because I am the king, and you are just a lowly human!"

He Tiantian might have disagreed with this statement before, but the Snake King's repeated interventions had helped her resolve thorny problems, proving that he was indeed more capable than she, a human.

"Snake King, are you sure this won't affect you?" He Tiantian asked again, making sure everything was alright. She didn't want to harm the Snake King's interests to benefit her own. Although she could be a little rascal at times, she genuinely hoped the Snake King would have a good outcome and return to the Demon Realm smoothly, instead of being struck by the Nine Heavens Mystic Lightning and turned into roasted snake meat!

"Don't underestimate me. I know what I'm doing." The Snake King raised his head. "Is that all?"

He Tiantian nodded repeatedly and said, "No more, the Snake King is amazing!"

He Tiantian, a young educated youth, had no say in village affairs, nor did she want to get involved.

I didn't go anywhere; I just stayed home, took out my textbooks, and started studying.

Although there are still seven years left, He Tiantian knows that after so many years, apart from recognizing characters, she has forgotten many other things. She needs to pick them up again as soon as possible, work hard, and get into a better university than she did in her previous life.

The books are brand new; I have no idea how my father, He Jingyu, got them!

Chinese, math, physics, chemistry, history, geography, and so on. He Tiantian started with the simplest subject, Chinese, and began reviewing. Starting with the easy ones would make learning smoother and increase her motivation. Humanities subjects could be memorized by rote, but science subjects wouldn't work that way. She might be able to review the simpler ones on her own, but for the difficult ones, she would have to consult Professor Gu and Professor Wang.

But now that Professor Gu and Professor Wang have just settled down, with people like Qi Jianguo and Qi Shuli in the village watching and waiting to report them, they dare not teach these things for fear of getting into trouble.

Since that's the case, He Tiantian decided to learn what she could on her own first, and then ask Professor Gu and Professor Wang for advice on the rest when her situation improved.

The high school Chinese textbook is indeed a bit more difficult than the junior high textbook. However, the selected articles are much more beautiful! After reading them several times, I carefully wrote down the words and phrases in my notebook, accurately understood their meanings, wrote them down diligently several times, and memorized them.

For the questions after class, He Tiantian carefully searched for them in the text and wrote them down in her notebook. Only after she had thoroughly understood a text, memorized its wonderful sentences, and could do the exercises did she take out the teacher's lesson plan, which included how to explain the knowledge points of the article from the teacher's perspective.

He Tiantian carefully checked and compared these knowledge points. Most of them were the same, but some were different. After looking at the answers, He Tiantian suddenly realized that the lesson plan was indeed more comprehensive, and her thinking was one-sided.

However, sometimes He Tiantian thought her ideas were good, so she carefully wrote them down in her notebook, intending to ask her teacher for guidance later. (To be continued.)
