The husband couldn't bear to part with his daughter, but he also couldn't let her life be delayed.
He Jingyu sighed, "Alas, daughters grow up and leave home! Our precious treasure is about to be handed over to someone else."
"You're so narrow-minded. If our daughter gets married, does that mean she's no longer our daughter?" Wang Shuping said. "Don't think such things anymore. If our daughter finds out that she really won't get married and can't find a husband, you'll be even more worried."
“That makes sense,” He Jingyu nodded. “Let it go. Only our daughter likes it. Yingjie is a good kid too. We’ve watched him grow up. It’s fine for him to get married soon.”
“Exactly,” Wang Shuping said. “And Yingjie also said that primary and middle schools have been allowed to reopen. I estimate that university education will soon be on track as well. Tiantian has been studying for so long, she will definitely be able to get into university. As for Yingjie, he also wants to pursue higher education. That would be even better, the young couple going to and from school together, that would be wonderful.”
Wang Shuping had already thought about what would happen after she got married.
"Just like we used to be, husband and wife in perfect harmony," He Jingyu said affectionately, looking at his wife with tenderness as he recalled their youth.
"Stop bragging. Back then, you were so annoying." Wang Shuping smiled through her cigarette, also thinking of her husband when he was young, and felt a sweet warmth in her heart.
"Haha, then why do you worry about me all the time, care about me so much, and feel sorry for me?" He Jingyu said with a smile, teasing his wife.
The passion of youth, after being aged by time, becomes more mellow and profound.
Wang Shuping felt embarrassed by her husband's words, so she reached out and pinched him a few times, scolding him, "The child is here, don't talk nonsense."
"I'm not talking nonsense, I'm just stating the facts!" He Jingyu said, seeing his wife's expression change, "Alright, alright, I was just rambling, talking nonsense, okay?"
"That's more like it," Wang Shuping said with a smile, having achieved a partial victory.
In the kitchen, He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie could occasionally be heard whispering to each other. They would often exchange a smile. It was truly rare for a couple to be so loving at their age.
Since the marriage had been discussed with the elders today, Huo Yingjie couldn't help but mention it to He Tiantian as well.
"Sweetie, I talked to your aunt about our marriage today. If you have no objections, I'll write to my parents right away and ask them to come over so we can start making wedding preparations," Huo Yingjie said. He had already married He Tiantian.
Through their past and present lives, the two have gone through so much, no less than the eighty-one tribulations.
Now they can finally be together, but He Tiantian still can't agree.
She had previously promised the Snake King to help him weather the terrifying lightning that tore through space and return to the Demon Realm.
However, if she gets married, the sacred blood will inevitably be contaminated, and then she will no longer be able to provide the Serpent King with sacred blood.
He Tiantian always believed that everything she had was given to her by the Snake King, and she constantly reminded herself to be grateful and to repay the Snake King.
"What's wrong?" Huo Yingjie frowned. Seeing that Tian Tian didn't answer him for a long time, he asked with a frown, "Don't you agree?"
He Tiantian nodded, but then shook her head, looking rather confused.
"Do you agree or disagree?" Huo Yingjie asked. "You know I can't wait any longer. I can't wait to spend every day with you and be completely honest with you."
He Tiantian remained calm when she heard about living together day and night, but when she heard about "being frank with each other," she automatically misunderstood.
“I agree, but… but not yet…” He Tiantian whispered, having disappointed Huo Yingjie once again.
"Since you agreed, why not now?" Huo Yingjie frowned, looking at He Tiantian, then suddenly realized. "Is it that little snake?"
Upon hearing this, He Tiantian suddenly looked up.
"Brother Yingjie, you found out too?" He Tiantian asked. "Ah, Brother Yingjie, how could you know? I didn't say anything."
Huo Yingjie patted He Tiantian's head and said, "Just because you don't tell me doesn't mean I don't know. Actually, I know far more than you can imagine, so you should tell me anything in the future. If I can help you, you won't have to take the wrong path."
That dead little snake was indeed a stumbling block on his path to marriage.
“It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, it’s just that I’m where I am today thanks to the Snake King,” He Tiantian said. “You don’t know how much suffering I endured and how many tears I shed in my past life. Now that I can start over, it’s all thanks to the Snake King. Moreover, I came here all alone and was made difficult by others, and it was the Snake King who helped me. With his help, I overcame difficulties time and time again.”
He Tiantian hopes Huo Yingjie will understand the help the Snake King had given her in the past.
“But you have already repaid him with your holy blood?” Huo Yingjie said. “So you don’t owe him anything now.”
He Tiantian shook her head and said, "Things can't be calculated like that! When I was in my most difficult time, it was the Snake King who helped me, so I should help the Snake King too. When I left home, I missed my family terribly, and the Snake King missed his family when he left the Demon Realm. We are both in the same boat, and we have helped and encouraged each other. Now I have obtained almost everything I wanted, but the Snake King hasn't. He has only passed the Six Heavens of Profound Thunder, and we don't know when he will pass the Nine Heavens of Profound Thunder. If I get married, I will have to keep my virginity, and my sacred blood will be contaminated. Then I won't be able to help the Snake King."
Virgin?
Contaminated Holy Blood?
The little snake's explanation was quite novel.
"Hehe, according to you, that little spirit snake is indeed pitiful." Huo Yingjie knew that He Tiantian seemed gentle on the surface, but was actually very stubborn. Once she made a decision, she generally wouldn't change it.
If he insists on sticking to the status quo, He Tiantian will definitely argue with him.
Arguing or throwing a tantrum with your fiancée in front of your future in-laws is certainly not a wise move.
"Alright, don't overthink it. I'll figure something out," Huo Yingjie said, patting her shoulder. "You just need to focus on being a good bride."
He Tiantian knew Huo Yingjie was unhappy, but she insisted on this point.
She desperately wanted to be with Huo Yingjie, but some things couldn't be sacrificed for love alone, such as friendship and gratitude!
"Oh!" He Tiantian replied softly, "You...you shouldn't make things difficult for the Snake King..."
Huo Yingjie raised an eyebrow and said, "What if I make things difficult for him? Will you ignore me?"
"Huh?" He Tiantian asked in surprise, "Why can't we get along peacefully?"
snort!
They simply cannot coexist peacefully.
Because that little snake cub actually coveted He Tiantian.
Did you think he didn't notice?
He always acts all high and mighty in front of He Tiantian, which is annoying and makes me want to slap him to death.
