The Snake King looked up, somewhat bewildered, gazing at the starry sky.
However, he was in too much pain and wanted to rest.
Just as the Snake King was about to descend, Huo Yingjie's voice rang out.
"Open your mouth!" Huo Yingjie's voice suddenly rang in the Snake King's ears.
The Snake King was taken aback, but then realized that Huo Yingjie was going to help him.
"Sweetie, wait for me down here, don't go anywhere," Huo Yingjie said. "Xiao Xuan, take care of Sweetie."
"Yes, Master!" The little tortoise nodded repeatedly, assuring the mission that it could be completed.
"Brother Yingjie, be careful, and please be safe," He Tiantian said with concern. The Snake King had successfully survived the tribulation, and now it was Brother Yingjie's turn.
Huo Yingjie turned his head, smiled and said, "Don't worry, just wait for me."
Huo Yingjie didn't want He Tiantian to see his superhuman abilities, but if he didn't let her see that the Snake King had really left, her little brain would definitely suspect that he had killed the little spirit snake.
Under the watchful eyes of He Tiantian and the little turtle, Huo Yingjie leaped into the sky and arrived near the Snake King.
"Your energy is increasing rapidly. I'm about to tear through space. Are you ready?" Huo Yingjie's eyes were burning with determination. He was finally going to get rid of this annoying little spirit snake.
The Snake King turned his head and saw He Tiantian looking up at the sky.
He wanted to say goodbye to He Tiantian, but after saying goodbye, they would still have to part ways. It would be better to just leave and only be sad once.
"I'm ready," the Snake King said with difficulty, as he was about to leave the place he had stayed in for six years.
In the demon realm, they have lifespans of hundreds or thousands of years; six years is but a fleeting moment.
However, in the human world, the sun rises and sets, every day is different and wonderful, time moves slowly and is full of trivialities, and life is busy and fulfilling.
In the Snake King's heart, none of his many years of memories in the demon realm could compare to these past six years.
Huo Yingjie nodded. This little spirit snake was self-aware, so he wouldn't make things difficult for it. He then made a few hand seals and sent the spell out into the void.
Not far in the direction Huo Yingjie pointed, ripples appeared in the sky, spreading out in concentric circles until a large circular hole appeared in the center.
A continuous stream of spiritual energy flowed from that cave entrance into the human realm. One could vaguely see the flowers, plants, and trees on the other side of the void, lush and verdant, far surpassing anything that the back mountain of Qijia Village in the human realm could offer.
“You can go home now,” Huo Yingjie said, as if urging him to.
The veiled message is: Get lost!
The Snake King sensed a familiar presence; this was his hometown, and he could return.
As he was about to leave, the Snake King turned to look at He Tiantian and the Little Turtle.
He Tiantian also saw the big hole, which was a spatial rift. As long as she could pass through that place, the Snake King could go home and reunite with his family.
Although He Tiantian was reluctant to part with her family, she knew the pain of missing loved ones and sincerely wished that the Snake King could reunite with his family soon.
He Tiantian waved her hand and said, "Snake King, may you rest in peace. You were my best friend, and I will never forget you..."
Upon hearing this, the Snake King laughed.
Although the Snake King's eyes were blurry and filled with tears, he was still happy that someone would remember him after he left.
Huo Yingjie frowned slightly when he heard He Tiantian's words. He was still upstairs, was it appropriate for her to say such things?
"Aren't you leaving yet?" Huo Yingjie squinted. "If you don't leave now, you'll never be able to leave!"
The Snake King smiled, like a victor, turned his head, and two crystal-clear tears rolled down his cheeks. These two tears, through the Snake King's special technique, landed directly on He Tiantian's hand.
Then the Snake King roared loudly, his voice shaking the surroundings, and in a flash, he leaped into the spatial rift.
Two tears disappeared into He Tiantian's palm, but He Tiantian could hear the Snake King's last words before he left.
"These two tears are the essence of water. I love water, and I hope that when you see water in the future, you will remember me." The Snake King's tone was gentle, filled with deep reluctance.
He Tiantian was stunned, and tears welled up in her eyes.
The days when I depended on the Snake King for survival flashed before my eyes.
"Snake King, let's walk together," He Tiantian murmured softly, "and in my heart, you will always be that adorable, proud, and omnipotent Snake King!"
Huo Yingjie was furious. He couldn't use other spells when he tore open the spatial rift, otherwise he would have already taught the little spirit snake a lesson.
As the crack grew smaller, Huo Yingjie released the spell, a smug smile on his lips, and cast another spell.
Hehe, you little snake, you even flirted with my wife before you left!
He Tiantian could also see the beam of light from below, and she was secretly alarmed.
After a short while, the ripples gathered, and the air returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
Just then, a light drizzle began to fall from the sky, nourishing everything silently.
Huo Yingjie descended from the air, his face expressionless, but his eyes held a smile.
"Brother Yingjie, what was that last beam of light you shot out?" He Tiantian asked hurriedly, her paranoia acting up again, worried that Brother Yingjie was bullying the Snake King.
I knew it would turn out like this!
Huo Yingjie took two deep breaths, turned his head to look elsewhere, and calmed himself down before saying, "I'll give him energy so that he can wreak havoc when he returns to the demon realm!"
"Do we really have to start a killing spree?" He Tiantian was a little scared, worried that the Snake King would be bullied if he returned to the demon realm.
Snakes roam the rivers and lakes, and they're bound to get cut.
The Snake King kills other monsters all day long, but sooner or later he'll be killed by other monsters too!
“That’s their fate. If they don’t fight other monsters, they’ll be killed by them,” Huo Yingjie said. “Don’t worry, I’ve given him a huge amount of energy, and the spirit snake inheritance in his mind has been activated. He’ll definitely be safe and sound.”
He wasn't lying; that ray of light was the energy he gave to the Snake King. But at the same time, he also did something bad: he sent the little spirit snake directly to the Black Bear Spirit's lair, so that if it returned, it would be besieged by its enemies.
Hehe, little snake, you're not so awesome!
Then you should fight the Black Bear Spirit family, your nemesis!
Huo Yingjie didn't go too far. With the energy he provided, the little snake was able to defeat the Black Bear Spirit Clan, which was a fair reward for his wife's benefactor.
He Tiantian thought for a moment, then looked up at the sky. The Snake King had already returned. She was just an ordinary human, so what could she do even if she was worried? She could only wish the Snake King all the best and that he would be safe and sound.
"Oh, I hope so." He Tiantian nodded, looking around at the now-cooled pool. The jujube trees beside it looked listless because of the lower temperature, and the small jujubes on them had wilted.
