Chapter 20 -20 Humble Counterattack_1
He Tiantian was not pleased, although she wasn’t extremely clever, she had come to a realization—it seemed…
it seemed she had an ace up her sleeve for a comeback.
Since you can only drink my blood, why don’t you, Little Silver Snake, butter me up properly instead of showing off in front of me?
He Tiantian had some plans in mind, deciding to have a good chat with this proud Little Silver Snake about “life” and “aspirations,” to let it understand that times had changed, and it shouldn’t be so haughty.
You know, there’s a terrible fate awaiting those who are too proud—getting struck by lightning!
“Cough cough!” He Tiantian cleared her throat, “So you mean to say, without drinking my blood, you can’t recover?
And you can’t tear through that Spatial Rift to go back home?”
The Snake King gave He Tiantian a “you’re-not-completely-stupid” look, lifted its head and said, “That’s the magnificent Demon Realm, do not describe it so crudely.
To tell you the truth, you are right, yes, insignificant human, just remember this is your honor!”
Honor my ass!
If you look down on insignificant humans so much, then don’t drink my blood!
“Hehe!” He Tiantian smiled insincerely, now she had some leverage too, and she could act a bit haughty, “So if I die, doesn’t that mean you won’t be able to drink my blood?
And that you can never tear open the Spatial Rift to return to that so-called magnificent Demon Realm?” freēnovelkiss.com
“You can think of it that way, weak human!” the Snake King continued arrogantly, hehe, under his majesty, this dumb human had finally started to think straight and draw conclusions on her own.
Indeed, the saying goes well, ‘birds of a feather flock together, people are known by the company they keep.’ By staying with him, the clever Snake King, this foolish human was becoming smarter.
He Tiantian’s facial muscles twitched, and after carefully formulating her words, she said leisurely, “Well then, you better start sucking up to me.
If I die, you’ll have to spend your life on this planet with us weak humans, never returning to that great Demon Realm.
Oh, what a pity!”
Despite its pride, the Snake King was not an idiot; it naturally picked up the subtext in He Tiantian’s casual words.
“You dare threaten me?
You lowly human?” The Snake King raised its head, preparing to charge at He Tiantian.
Bite her to death!
Seems that’s not an option, then just bite her!
He Tiantian closed her eyes, tilted her neck, and pointed to where her carotid artery was, saying, “Bite here, it’s the carotid artery, drink it all at once and kill me!
Anyways, life has been such a struggle, away from my parents and relatives, dealing with annoying people, a weak woman not able to eat well or sleep well, death might as well bring relief from all suffering.”
Holding her breath, He Tiantian braced herself, thinking if she kept being threatened by the Snake King, she might as well take a stand now and negotiate terms with it.
She couldn’t stay passive and let the Snake King bully her!
Foolish human!
Insignificant human!
Lowly human!
Just the thought of the Snake King’s smugness made her want to slap it!
To quell internal strife before stopping external threats!
Today, she must reach an agreement with this smug Snake King!
The Little Silver Snake flew in front of He Tiantian, and seeing her look so eager to die, hesitated.
Drinking all of that blood in one go would surely be a feast, but he couldn’t restore his Primordial Spirit or spiritual power that quickly after all.
Moreover, the stupid woman was right—if He Tiantian died, then it would never leave this place with sparse Spiritual Energy, never to return to the magnificent Demon Realm!
The Little Silver Snake landed on He Tiantian’s shoulder, glaring with its cold little eyes, “You…
you lowly human, what do you really want?”
Without the anticipated sourness and pain, He Tiantian heard the voice and opened her eyes; hehe, her threat had worked.
This was good, if she could get the help of the proud Snake King, she could rely on him back in Qijia Village.
As for being called a lowly human by the Snake King, He Tiantian decided not to take it to heart.
There would be plenty of time in the future to slowly train this haughty Little Silver Snake.
“Actually, it’s quite simple,” He Tiantian said.
“I’m not asking for much, you help me live safely, solve my problems, and I’ll make an effort to eat heartily and grow some more blood, so you can drink a little more.
How does that sound?”
The haughty Snake King glanced disdainfully at He Tiantian and said, “Hmph, oblivious to the blessings you have.
If it weren’t for me, would your strength have become so great?
Could your skin be this good, could you become this attractive?”
Wow, so my increased strength is all thanks to the Snake King?
As for good skin and looking good, that’s the work of my parents, okay?
What does it have to do with it?
However, as the Snake King spoke enthusiastically, He Tiantian didn’t want to dampen its spirits, and let it continue.
This action by the Little Silver Snake was just like a dog jumping over the wall in desperation, no, more like a snake jumping over the wall.
To pursue one’s dreams…
maybe…
just maybe they might come true…
“Thank you, thank you so much,” He Tiantian expressed her gratitude.
“You’ve been helping me, so I’ll also keep helping you.
Let’s have a mutual benefit.”
“Hmph!” The Snake King acted proud again.
This human wanted to be equals with it; such a cunning human.
It had underestimated this reckless woman before.
The Snake King somewhat regretted telling He Tiantian the truth just now.
He Tiantian wasn’t scared anymore, which meant there was room for negotiation.
“Snake King, how much of my blood do you want to drink?” He Tiantian asked.
In these times of scarcity, if the Snake King drank too much, she’d quickly become anemic and die.
After a moment’s thought, the Snake King said, “Actually, not much, just two ounces of fresh blood, according to your human measurements.”
Two ounces of blood isn’t much.
“Two ounces a year, my body can handle that,” He Tiantian nodded.
“Let’s agree on that.”
“Who said it’s two ounces a year?” The Snake King was unsatisfied.
“Two ounces a month.”
“That much!” As soon as He Tiantian heard it, she felt uneasy.
Two ounces a month, a hundred milliliters, continuously.
With her current dietary standards, she would definitely become anemic.
Annoyed, the Snake King said, “You women are really troublesome.
Your period doesn’t even lose two ounces a month.
Giving me two ounces is too much for you?
You’re just worried that losing too much blood will affect your health, right?
With me on your neck to regulate your body, your health will only improve.
Don’t worry about it excessively, it’s unnecessary anxiety.”
Aunt Flo?
Oh my god, the Snake King even knows about women’s “monthly friend”?
Swallowing hard, He Tiantian realized the Snake King was well-informed, with eyes and ears everywhere!
Although the other party wasn’t human, the Snake King had a human way of thinking, and He Tiantian wasn’t going to continue discussing “Aunt Flo” with it.
As long as she wouldn’t become anemic or it wouldn’t harm her health, that was good enough.
“I agree, I agree,” He Tiantian hurriedly said.
“From now on, we’re partners, and you can’t look down on me.”
She decided to break the pot if it’s already cracked; He Tiantian would just accept having “Aunt Flo” visit twice a month!
Ah, just thinking about it is depressing!
But He Tiantian was open-minded.
You win some, you lose some, and she could accept the outcome.
Hopefully, the Snake King would keep its word and help regulate her body!
“Hmph!” The proud Snake King suddenly jumped several meters away into a puddle, signaling with its actions that it indeed looked down on He Tiantian, so what?
He Tiantian rolled her eyes.
The Snake King was not only haughty but also very childish, not befitting of a king at all.
Perhaps it was this carefree and proud nature that got it injured and defeated, leading it to the detested Human Realm!
