He Tiantian was very affectionate towards the Snake King, while Huo Yingjie disliked the little snake.

Likes and dislikes are directly proportional.

"Let's not disturb his cultivation, let's go back." Huo Yingjie felt like he had shot himself in the foot; he should have known better than to say he was coming here.

Now, things have gotten worse; this little snake has taken over the cave and distracted He Tiantian.

From the moment she entered, He Tiantian's attention was focused on the little spirit snake.

“Okay.” He Tiantian nodded, then suddenly remembered their conversation from yesterday, “Brother Yingjie, didn’t you say you were going to help the Snake King?”

Huo Yingjie was somewhat speechless. His fiancée kept thinking about what to do about the snake.

The Snake King looked at Huo Yingjie, but upon meeting Huo Yingjie's meaningful gaze, he immediately turned away.

It was so satisfying to see Huo Yingjie get his comeuppance!

Although I have to show weakness to He Tiantian, it's okay!

He enjoys the process!

"He needs to cultivate on his own now. When the time is right, I will naturally help him," Huo Yingjie said softly, his eyes narrowed, his gaze like daggers shooting towards the Snake King.

What a greedy and insatiable little thing!

He Tiantian thought for a moment and said, "Snake King, you must work hard. In everything, internal factors play a decisive role. The help of others can be very helpful, but ultimately it depends on yourself. Cultivate well, and when the time that Brother Yingjie mentioned comes, he will definitely help you."

"Thank you, Sweetie," said the Snake King. "Meeting you is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me."

Countless times, the Snake King thought this to himself, but he always pretended to be profound and a big-tailed snake in front of He Tiantian, too embarrassed to say it out loud.

However, now that Huo Yingjie is here, Snake King has let go of his inner turmoil and is willing to be He Tiantian's follower.

As long as He Tiantian treats him well, Huo Yingjie can't do anything to him.

He Tiantian was taken aback when she heard Snake King's words, but then she was very happy and said, "Snake King, you are too modest. I should be the one saying that. Meeting you is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me. Because you have changed my life."

Huo Yingjie frowned as he looked at He Tiantian's back.

In Tian Tian's heart, meeting that little spirit snake was the luckiest thing. What about him?

Huo Yingjie was unhappy.

Huo Yingjie is unhappy, but Snake King is happy!

"Sweetie, you're so kind," the Snake King praised.

"Snake King, you're very good too," He Tiantian praised.

Huo Yingjie's gaze grew colder and colder, making the Snake King uncomfortable.

Seeing that its master was about to lose his temper, the little tortoise quickly stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Snake King, you need to cultivate, you can't be careless. In the demon realm, your parents are waiting for you, and your brothers and sisters are waiting for you to fight!"

The Snake King knew he couldn't push his luck any further.

"Yes, Little Turtle is right, I'm going to start cultivating," said the Snake King. "Goodbye, Sweetie," he said, disappearing directly into the bubbling, boiling water.

The little tortoise chuckled and said, "Master, would you like to go down and take a look?"

Huo Yingjie shook his head and said, "I'm not going, you go."

"Then Master, Madam, Xiao Xuan will take her leave." After saying this, Xiao Xuan Turtle quickly entered the underground river, not wanting to feel the pressure from her master.

Once the Snake King and the Little Turtle had disappeared, He Tiantian turned around and said, "Brother Yingjie, let's go out!"

"Hmm!" Huo Yingjie simply responded.

He Tiantian saw that the jujube trees not far away were laden with jujubes. The jujubes on the mountain had already been picked clean; she wasn't home this year, and no one from her family was picking any.

Now that I see sour jujubes, how could I possibly let them go?

So focused on picking the sour dates, He Tiantian didn't notice that Huo Yingjie was unhappy.

“Brother Yingjie, can you help me pick up the sour jujubes? I’ll pick them up from the ground,” He Tiantian said, finding a long stick in the cave. “Come on, come on, hurry up. These sour jujubes are especially delicious. If you dry them, you can soak them in water to drink. They’re good for digestion.”

"Oh!" Huo Yingjie took the long stick that He Tiantian handed him, and without saying a word, began to knock down the dates.

Huo Yingjie was tall and strong. With a few quick snaps, ripe jujubes kept falling from the tree.

In no time, the ground was covered with a thick layer of it.

He Tiantian looked at it and said, "Let's stop."

The ripe ones have probably already fallen, while the unripe ones are still growing on the tree.

He Tiantian squatted on the ground, picking at the dates on the ground.

Seeing that He Tiantian was picking things up so diligently, Huo Yingjie also started picking them up.

The basket was full, and there was still a lot left on the ground.

So He Tiantian put the remaining sour dates on a big rock and planned to come back and collect them later.

He Tiantian wanted to carry the bamboo basket herself, but Huo Yingjie was there, so how could he let He Tiantian work so hard?

"I'll do it," Huo Yingjie said softly, carrying a bamboo basket as he walked out of the cave.

"Thank you, Brother Yingjie." He Tiantian followed closely behind and quickly walked out of the cave.

Huo Yingjie walked ahead, remaining silent.

He Tiantian jogged up to catch up and saw Huo Yingjie's handsome profile. She asked, "Brother Yingjie, what's wrong?"

He Tiantian was unaware that her kindness towards the Snake King had led Huo Yingjie to make a mistake.

"It's nothing!" Huo Yingjie turned his head, showing He Tiantian the back of his head.

"Huh?" He Tiantian was taken aback. She was certain that Huo Yingjie was angry.

Huo Yingjie used to act the same way when he was angry; he would say it was nothing, but he would have a lot of complaints in his heart.

A man who says one thing but means another is really awkward!

Yingjie's behavior when he's angry is particularly childish.

"Are you angry?" He Tiantian asked knowingly, sticking out her tongue and making a face.

"No!" Huo Yingjie kept his head turned away, refusing to look at He Tiantian.

He Tiantian pondered deeply. She was fine when she first went up the mountain, so why did she get angry after going to the cave?

Moreover, it was his own request to go to the cave!

He Tiantian stopped talking. Anyone can get angry!

I can do that too!

He Tiantian didn't say anything, and turned her head away, her back to Huo Yingjie.

The two arrived at the Peach Garden Wooden House and saw He Jingyu.

"Wow, where did you pick so many sour jujubes?" He Jingyu asked curiously, as he had been too busy with work to pick them before.

"It's a secret," He Tiantian replied mysteriously. "Wow, so many people came to take a bath today?"

"Yes, you should hurry down the mountain," He Jingyu urged, grabbing a handful of sour dates to eat a couple when he had nothing else to do.

He Tiantian left two large bouquets for He Jingyu.

On the way up the mountain, the two talked the whole time; on the way down, they walked one after the other in silence.

"Ouch!" He Tiantian wasn't as strong as Huo Yingjie; she walked with her head twisted and almost fell.

Huo Yingjie reacted quickly, turning around and catching He Tiantian before she fell. He frowned and said, "You're so careless when you walk, how can I trust you!"

Although He Tiantian didn't intentionally stage a "bitter act," Huo Yingjie finally spoke up.

Great, that's a good start!
