Seeing that the Snake King didn't move, He Tiantian found it amusing and kicked the Snake King's butt.

It's chubby, bouncy, and super cute!

"What are you doing?" The Snake King turned his head. "If you continue to be so insolent, I'll show you that you can't be kicked in the ass by the Snake King!"

He Tiantian smiled and said, "Snake King, it's time to replenish your holy blood, have you forgotten?"

The snake king frowned, patted his flat belly, and without waiting for He Tiantian to speak again, bit down on He Tiantian's left ankle.

He Tiantian's eyes were unfocused, and she closed them, falling asleep.

Recently, He Tiantian has been getting excellent nutrition, and her blood and energy are surging. In a fit of anger, the Snake King drank his fill.

At this moment, the Snake King returned to its original form, feeling a surge of power coursing through its body. It even felt the call of the sea, so it flew out of the window. Mud and grime, crossing over is not like this.

After flying over the sea, the Snake King circled a few times before diving into the water.

In the water, the snake king was even more comfortable, swimming around on the seabed.

At this moment, the Snake King realized that its perception range had expanded, and it could move freely within a 40-kilometer radius of He Tiantian.

Beyond forty kilometers, it can no longer be scanned.

In the ocean, the Snake King saw many fish, but they were all mindless and not interesting.

Seeing some clam shells with lustrous, full pearls inside, the Snake King picked some and put them in the barrier space to make jewelry for He Tiantian later. The coral was also quite nice and should be able to sell for some money, so he took it.

As dawn approached, the Snake King discovered that it had come to the seabed and found the barrier filled with things it had collected for He Tiantian.

After returning, the Snake King entered the barrier around He Tiantian's left ankle and didn't come out.

On one hand, the Snake King needs to cultivate; on the other hand, the Snake King doesn't know how to deal with his increasingly outrageous behavior.

When He Tiantian woke up, it was already nine o'clock in the morning.

I sat up, stretched, washed up, changed my clothes, and went downstairs.

Grandma Qi was taking a walk in the manor when He Tiantian ran to find her.

"Hehe, did you sleep well?" Grandma Qi asked, noticing that He Tiantian's face was a little pale. "Are you feeling unwell?"

He Tiantian smiled and said, "I'm not feeling unwell, I probably just slept for too long. Grandma, what are you doing wandering around here?"

"This is an empty plot of land, and I'd like to plant some vegetables," said Grandma Qi. "But I don't know where to buy seeds, nor do I know what vegetables are suitable to grow here!"

“I think you’re bored,” He Tiantian said with a smile. “Back in my hometown, I couldn’t stand being idle. Now that I have nothing to do, I want to cook.”

"Yes, it is a bit boring." Grandma Qi was very conflicted. "In the blink of an eye, it has been a month since we left Qijia Village, and I really miss home. But I am also afraid that after I go back, I will never see my son's family again."

Just then, Qi Shuliang walked in with a young man.

The person who came was Huo Yingjun.

"Handsome brother, what brings you here?" He Tiantian asked, finding Huo Yingjun, who bore a resemblance to Huo Yingjie, quite pleasing to the eye.

Huo Yingjun smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Qi, Grandma Qi, and Tian Tian, ​​for your hard work and contributions! The US President has arrived in Yanjing and met with the Chairman. China and the US have officially established diplomatic relations!"

Upon hearing this, Grandma Qi's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Does this mean the two countries can have exchanges in the future? My son can go back to his hometown too?"

Huo Yingjun nodded and said, "The country welcomes patriotic and righteous people like Mr. Qi at any time."

"That's wonderful, that's wonderful!" Grandma Qi said excitedly. "I've been hesitating for a while now. If I stay here, I miss my hometown. I'm getting old and want to return to my roots. But if I go back, I'm worried that I'll never see my son's family again."

"Mother..." Hearing his mother's words, Qi Shuliang secretly rejoiced. Although it had cost a lot of manpower and resources, it was all worth it.

He and his mother can be reunited, and many more people will be reunited with their families in the future.

"Good child, you have done very well," said Grandma Qi. "Mother is very pleased."

With the pressure gone, Grandma Qi was in a much better mood.

Huo Yingjun was deeply moved when he was in high spirits, but he came here not just to talk about this matter, but to remind Mr. Qi.

However, he couldn't say this in front of Grandma Qi, He Tiantian said, lest it worry the women.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Huo Yingjun signaled to Qi Shuliang that he had something to say.

"Handsome, don't leave at noon, have lunch here." Grandma Qi said with a smile from behind, and told the cook to prepare Chinese food today.

"Thank you, Grandma Qi. Even if you tell me to leave, I won't go," Huo Yingjun said playfully. "Mr. Qi's Chinese chef is quite skilled; I'll definitely have to eat more later."

"Good, good..." Grandma Qi said with a smile, as good news kept coming to the house.

The atmosphere in the study was heavy!

“Mr. Qi, you must be careful when you travel during this time. There are some separatists and hostile forces from other countries who are trying to harm you,” Huo Yingjun said. “But don’t worry, we have already sent people to protect your safety in secret.”

Qi Shuliang rubbed his temples, his earlier high spirits gone, and sighed, "I knew it would be like this! Those people won't let this go."

“Mr. Qi, don’t be so pessimistic. We are your strong support,” Huo Yingjun said. “Our people have already begun to organize a counterattack to resolve this matter as soon as possible and ensure your safety.”

Qi Shuliang didn't say anything, but instead took out a cigar.

Huo Yingjun reacted quickly and set it on fire.

Qi Shuliang took a deep breath to calm his tense nerves, and finally said, "Do you know when those people will make their move?"

"We've received intelligence that they're making preparations, but no specific date has been set yet," Huo Yingjun said. "The Hongmen, and our underground workers, will provide you with protection."

After a long pause, Qi Shuliang slowly said, "I want you to take my wife and children away and ensure their safety! Is that alright?"

"Huh?" Huo Yingjun was taken aback. "You mean?"

“Yes!” Qi Shuliang nodded. “Take them away, and I’ll have no worries! If I’m lucky enough to live, I’ll come back for them. If… if something unexpected happens, I’ll put the company under my management, and my son can inherit it. I also have savings in a Swiss bank. Now I want a promise from you!”

"Mr. Qi, please tell me. If I can do it, I will definitely not refuse." Huo Yingjun felt guilty. If Qi Shuliang hadn't helped them, Qi Shuliang wouldn't have encountered such a thing.

But······

Sigh, it's all for the national interest; there's nothing we can do about it. (To be continued.)
