Chapter 227: The Forgotten Stone Statue (1440+) _1

227

Because of the Snake King, the cave was as bright as day.

He Tiantian looked around and saw that, just like last year, this place was more lush and vibrant than the outside.

The Snake King swam back and forth contentedly in the water and, after enjoying himself, popped his head up to ask, "How come you thought to come here? It's the middle of the night; aren't you scared?"

Sitting on a stone by the water, He Tiantian had taken off her shoes and was soaking her feet, offering a bitter smile, "I remembered that this year there would be a severe drought, and I need to gather more food while there's still some on the mountain."

"Oh!" replied the Snake King. "Do you need my help with that?"

"No need," said He Tiantian. "During a famine, others get so skinny and yellow-faced. If I look rosy and healthy, I'll arouse suspicion." "As long as I have enough wild vegetables and occasionally get some meat here, I'll get by."
