Hearing his nephew's words, Hongjian knew that his nephew had some issues with him.
However, this dissatisfaction was far from enough to lead to a complete breakdown in relations, so Hongjian only looked a little awkward, but wasn't angry.
"Of course, of course." Red Arrow chuckled awkwardly, not daring to continue. He guessed that his brother-in-law, the Serpent King, had been talking to the Serpent Prince, Li Xian, about things on Serpent Island.
He didn't come out to help the Serpent King at the time, and he looked embarrassed.
At this moment, other members of prominent families came to offer their congratulations, so Red Arrow had no choice but to step back, drink silently, and think about what good things his family still had. He decided to find some to send to his nephew as an apology.
The Serpent Prince had a journey through the human world and had become more mature.
Sometimes when he encounters a difficult question, he will think about how Huo Yingjie would handle it if he were faced with such a question.
Back and forth, the Serpent Prince always managed to handle things safely.
The banquet will reward those who have rendered meritorious service.
The Serpent Prince received half, and the other half was distributed among the Serpent Warriors on the front lines of the war of resistance, according to their merits.
These people all supported the Serpent King, and they were even happier to receive so many rewards.
As for others, those who want to reap the rewards without sowing can only watch helplessly as others receive their bounties, and dare not utter a word.
The banquet was very lively. Dancers sang and danced, and everyone clinked glasses and drank heartily, as if drinking would make everyone forgive and forget.
The Snake King has just returned and doesn't know much about what's happening on Spirit Snake Island. He'll settle scores one by one after he's completely under control of the island.
Three days later, the Serpent King told the Serpent King about the general situation on Serpent Island, so that he would have a general idea.
When the Serpent King began to handle state affairs, the Spirit Serpent King, along with the Spirit Serpent Queen and the five unhatched eggs, went into seclusion.
The Snake King had to handle political affairs in the morning and teach his younger siblings magic and martial arts in the afternoon.
These pampered young ladies, used to a life of luxury, were unwilling to endure hardship, so the Snake King directly cut their allowances.
If you don't study diligently, your share will decrease.
If you study hard, you can not only receive your share from the Serpent Palace, but also a reward from the Serpent King.
Only after a combination of kindness and strictness did the older sisters, younger sisters, and younger brothers begin to study.
However, since they started learning, they have found that their strength has increased and their magic has become more powerful. They no longer need the Snake King to urge them to study.
Every so often, the Snake King would take them to the forest to hunt, where they would obtain many spoils, which further motivated them to learn magic.
The Snake King specially set up a garden for them to study.
Seeing the Snake Princess and the little princes making rapid progress, some people came to inquire about the news and even try to learn from them, but it had no effect whatsoever.
The Snake King saw all of this and kept it in mind.
Hehe, if you want to learn his magic, he must first remove the shackles of the spirit snakes binding them before you can learn it.
Ironically, this technique was part of the inheritance that the Snake King received, so he wasn't worried about anyone inquiring about it and having it learned.
Once his sisters, brothers, and sisters all learn this technique, it will be enough to deal with the threats from the Black Bear Spirit and the Spirit Serpent Clan.
In this way, he can feel more at ease.
Since returning to Spirit Serpent Island, the Serpent King has spent his mornings handling government affairs, his afternoons teaching his sisters and brothers, and his evenings cultivating.
Every day is filled with this kind of busyness, as if this busyness allows him to forget everything in the human world.
He thought he would forget, but how could he forget something so profound, something he loved so deeply?
But He Tiantian no longer needs him by her side; Huo Yingjie is there to protect her.
He's superfluous over there.
Now that he's back, knowing his family still needs him, the Snake King feels he's not useless, and uses this to encourage himself.
One day, two days, and before we knew it, more than a thousand days and nights had passed.
Until one day, the essence of water that the Snake King had left in his palm rippled slightly.
The Snake King smiled, knowing that He Tiantian had begun to enjoy water.
Although he couldn't see her, he could feel He Tiantian's joy and happiness in the water.
Although it's not all the time, only on specific dates, that's enough.
At the very least, the Snake King knows that He Tiantian is doing well now.
Several years after the Snake King returned, his appearance remained unchanged; he was still a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy. For the Spirit Snake Clan, a few years was merely a fleeting moment in their long lives.
But for a snake king who was experiencing love for the first time, it seemed like a long time.
To alleviate his loneliness, he worked hard and has already occupied two-thirds of the forest, securing enough living space for the Spirit Serpent Clan.
After peace is restored, the Snake King's marriage will be put on the agenda.
The Snake King was unwilling, and after his father emerged from seclusion, he began to seclude himself, detached from worldly affairs.
"Xian'er, you're not young anymore, it's time for you to get married," said the Serpent King. "After all, your mother and I are getting old, it's time for you to have children for our Serpent royal family."
The Snake King's eyes twitched. His father still had the nerve to say that in the years since he returned, he had gained dozens more younger brothers and sisters.
What a disaster! The schools he set up weren't enough, and now they had to be divided into junior, gifted, and adult classes.
"Father, I now have 263 younger brothers and sisters who are adults, and 98 younger brothers and sisters who are minors. I think you are still in your prime and your skills are still sharp," the Snake King said lightly, which indirectly showed that his Snake Royal Family was thriving and did not need him to add to the family.
Upon hearing his son's words, the Serpent King blushed. This morning, the Queen Consort had said she was pregnant.
He's now embarrassed to tell his son that after the hatching is done, he'll hand it over to his eldest son. They don't care about it and aren't good parents.
"Then... then you should focus on your cultivation." The Serpent King said with shame, "I'll cover for you regarding your marriage for a while. Anyway, your uncle didn't act properly before, so I'll put him out there and let him know that he was being disloyal back then, and he wouldn't dare to argue back."
"Thank you, Father." After saying this, the Snake King went to the cultivation holy land of the Spirit Snake Royal Clan to begin his cultivation.
This is a bottomless cave, filled with spiritual energy.
There are many small holes around the cave, where many members of the Spirit Serpent Royal Family cultivate.
The Snake King went to his own cultivation cave, set up a barrier, and focused on his cultivation without any distractions.
Time stands still in the cave. When the Snake King opened his eyes again, his skills had improved to a higher level, and he decided to leave the cave.
After I came out, I realized that another five years had passed.
Ten years have passed. I wonder how she is doing?
He Tiantian is now an ordinary human, and she is already thirty-one years old. But when the Snake King looked at his reflection in the water, he was amazed. She still had that young face. He couldn't even grow old if he wanted to.
When he sees He Tiantian again, they may be too far apart in age and become the elder and the younger.
