The Snake King was filled with mixed emotions. Back then, whenever he saw Huo Yingjie, he could only hide inside the barrier and couldn't get out, or he could get out but couldn't get back in.
Whenever Huo Yingjie appeared, he became a humble and pitiful little man.
At that time, he vowed to work hard to become stronger, so that Huo Yingjie would be afraid of him in the future.
However, now that Huo Yingjie's consciousness has dissipated, he can stand openly in front of him and become a powerful figure, while Huo Yingjie is just a living dead.
Logically, he should have been very happy, but he wasn't as joyful and excited as he had imagined.
A true strong person does not run away, but faces challenges head-on.
On a selfish note, he hoped that Huo Yingjie would die like this, or remain in a coma, so that he could have He Tiantian all to himself.
He Tiantian may only have a few decades left to live, but he wants to accompany her through this part of her life and hopes that he can bring a perfect ending to her life.
However, when he saw He Tiantian's tears, he knew that it was all just wishful thinking on his part.
He Tiantian's pride has never belonged to him!
Huo Yingjie is dead, but he will remain a lifelong memory in He Tiantian's heart; if Huo Yingjie is not dead, He Tiantian will always be with him.
So after some hesitation, he decided to save Huo Yingjie first.
From the perspective of the strong, Snake King hopes to have a fair duel with Huo Yingjie.
Whether Huo Yingjie dies or remains a living dead, Huo Yingjie will become his lifelong inner demon, and may even affect his cultivation and tribulation.
Therefore, he had to save Huo Yingjie's life.
"I can give it a try!" the Snake King said coldly, reaching into Huo Yingjie's clothes to take out a jade pendant. He pulled hard, the string broke, and he placed it in his palm.
The Snake King removed the phoenix pendant from his neck, placed the two jade pendants together, and then looked at He Tiantian, saying, "Cry, cry loudly..."
He Tiantian's eyes stung, and she didn't understand why the Snake King said that.
"Hurry up and cry. I don't have that much time to waste with you outside. If you want Huo Yingjie to wake up, then hurry up and cry, shed more tears," the Snake King said impatiently, worried that if he waited any longer, he would change his mind.
He Tiantian was very sad and couldn't help but shed tears, but after being scolded by the Snake King, she couldn't cry anymore.
At this moment, the little tortoise climbed onto He Tiantian's arm and bit her hard.
He Tiantian felt pain, and tears welled up again, falling several drops onto the dragon and phoenix pendants.
The Snake King placed the two jade pendants on Huo Yingjie's body and waited quietly.
White smoke, not light, rose from the two jade pendants and gradually expanded. In just over ten breaths, a thin layer of smoke enveloped Huo Yingjie, drifting back and forth.
Even though she was used to seeing incredible scenes, He Tiantian was still shocked by what she saw.
"What are we doing?" He Tiantian asked in a low voice, very curious.
"Shh..." The Snake King made a shushing gesture.
He Tiantian quickly shut her mouth and quietly waited for a miracle.
About a quarter of an hour later, the thin mist surrounding Huo Yingjie slowly dissipated.
As the mist was about to dissipate, the little tortoise devoured the remaining mist in large gulps, consuming most of it.
The Snake King reached out and took the two jade pendants, saying, "That's all for today, we'll continue tomorrow!"
After saying that, the Snake King entered the barrier, ignoring He Tiantian.
Seeing that the Snake King had left and severed her connection with the barrier, He Tiantian could only ask the Little Turtle for help.
"Little Whirlwind Turtle, can you explain this to me?" He Tiantian asked, looking at the little Whirlwind Turtle whose belly was round from eating.
The little tortoise was very excited and said, "Sweetie, the Snake King used two ancient divine jades to replenish Master's divine sense. Although it was slow, I could feel that the wisp of divine thought Master left behind had grown much larger. In time, Master will be able to wake up. Alright, I absorbed some of the remaining spiritual energy and will also cultivate diligently."
After saying that, the little tortoise disappeared and entered the barrier it had created itself.
Only He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie were in the ward.
He Tiantian helped Huo Yingjie button up his clothes, covered him with the blanket, then held Huo Yingjie's hand, kissed him on the cheek, and whispered, "Brother Yingjie, you have to be strong. No matter what, I will be with you."
After the grief she had just experienced, He Tiantian had come to understand her own feelings.
As long as Huo Yingjie lives, she will stay with him and take care of him.
If Huo Yingjie is destined to live like this for the rest of his life, then she will take care of him for the rest of her life.
He Tiantian didn't know if Huo Yingjie had experienced such a calamity in his previous life, but she knew that Huo Yingjie's life must have been difficult.
There are both subjective and objective reasons why they didn't end up together.
Having experienced these things in this life, she will not change easily.
In his past life, Yingjie was able to overcome tribulations; this time, with her by his side, Yingjie can too.
Just then, a nurse came in carrying hot water.
"Comrade, please get up for a moment, I need to help Comrade Huo clean his body," the nurse said softly and very politely.
It's the nurse's job to clean up, but why are you blushing?
He Tiantian was displeased when she thought of Huo Yingjie's physique—slim when dressed, but muscular when undressed.
In addition, the young nurse was about the same age as He Tiantian. Although she had done this kind of work many times out of professional ethics, she still had some thoughts when she saw the young man's body, and the patient was so handsome.
Thinking of this, He Tiantian said, "I am Comrade Huo's fiancée, so I should do this kind of work."
"Huh?" The nurse was taken aback, looking somewhat embarrassed. "Isn't this inappropriate? This is my job."
He Tiantian's jealousy flared up, and she said, "There's a difference between men and women. We're engaged, so it's a bit more appropriate. It's too much to ask you to do something like this."
“I’m afraid you won’t know what to do, and it might not be good for Comrade Huo,” the nurse insisted, disagreeing.
At this moment, Zhao Huanhuan came to check on the patients.
He Tiantian asked, "Sister-in-law, may I wipe Yingjie's body?"
Zhao Huanhuan was taken aback and said, "The nurses did this, but Yingjie is fine. You can help with the cleaning. After all, you are engaged, so it's okay for you to do these things."
Zhao Huanhuan already knew from her grandparents that Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian were not only engaged, but their marriage application had also been approved, and they were just waiting to get their marriage certificate.
He Tiantian stepped forward and took the basin of water from the nurse, saying, "Thank you so much for taking care of my fiancé before!"
"No...no need to thank me," the nurse stammered. "I'll come back for the basin in a bit!"
"Thank you," He Tiantian said gratefully, watching the nurse leave.
