    Chapter 69: Mom and Dad Want to Meet You. The Snake Coiled Around His Neck

    The snake was a clever snake. After Ji Mo Xin’s footsteps disappeared, it immediately turned into a chopstick snake and hid itself in the wooden carvings on the side of the sofa.

    Ji Mo An would hit Xuan Bai, but he couldn’t bring himself to hit the chopstick snake.

    After all, the chopstick snake was thin and long, giving off a mistaken impression of weakness, helplessness, and pitifulness.

    But in fact, the snake, which was not weak, not helpless, but very pitiful, was more resilient than anyone else.

    So, after a ten-minute stalemate, Ji Mo An walked towards the room with a cold face, carrying Xuan Bai’s clothes, with a ‘honest’ pitiful chopstick snake on his head.

    Ji Mo An and Ji Mo Xin’s parents disembarked on the last day. The couple felt a little uncomfortable as soon as their feet touched the ground.

    “Baby, why are your dark circles so heavy? Have you been staying up late?” Madam Mu immediately noticed Ji Mo Xin waiting for them at the dock. In addition to being in a great mood, she didn’t forget to ask about her daughter’s dark circles.

    “No.” Ji Mo Xin shook her head firmly. She now had a privately customized advanced door-kicking plan, plus Xin.

    Just thinking about what shocked expressions her happy dad and mom would have later, Ji Mo Xin was very happy.

    She couldn’t be the only one getting a scare!

    On the other side, Ji Mo An’s friends had also arrived at the hotel ahead of schedule.

    Ji Cheng Yu came up and wanted to put his arm around Ji Mo An’s shoulder like a good buddy, but Xuan Bai scared him back.

    “I feel like he’s glaring at me.” Ji Cheng Yu touched the back of his head and complained to Meng Qingyan in a low voice.

    “Maybe it’s not your imagination.” Meng Qingyan raised her eyebrows, looking at Xuan Bai’s back with a probing gaze.

    Interesting…

    “To think I wanted to give him a lead role to pave the way for him, and I used to defend him so much.” Ji Cheng Yu snorted, a little dissatisfied.

    That person was indeed incredibly handsome, but his personality was a bit terrible. Ji Cheng Yu still remembered Xuan Bai’s indifferent attitude towards them on the cruise ship, and impulsively ran up and squeezed next to Ji Mo An.

    “Old An, how come this exhibition is such a big deal, directly hard-controlling a whole cruise ship of people.” He nudged Ji Mo An with his elbow, and glanced at Xuan Bai sideways.

    “Let your bro take a look at the yellow diamond beforehand. Hey, but why does the invitation we received say ‘family banquet’ instead of ‘treasure exhibition’?”

    “…” Ji Mo An stretched out a finger to push him away, “I’m very nervous right now, don’t talk to me.”

    “Ah?” Ji Cheng Yu was stunned. “Nervous? Is it because Old Master Wei is also here?”

    “…” Ji Mo An pondered for a moment. He first looked around to make sure there were no outsiders, then looked at Xuan Bai, who seemed about to pout, and then reached out his hand.

    Xuan Bai immediately happily put his hand on it.

    “Just like this.” Ji Mo An shrugged, “Mom and Dad will be here soon, Xin Xin went to scout ahead.”

    “Ah… ah?” Ji Cheng Yu stared at the clasped hands, his eyes almost popping out.

    “No… no…”

    Ji Mo An watched him “no” for a long time. For the first time, he directly saw that human hair could stand on end when shocked.

    “You come here.” Ji Cheng Yu was so frightened that he peeked at the friends who were chatting a few steps away, and slapped Xuan Bai’s hand away from Ji Mo An’s.

    He didn’t care about his image, pushing and shoving Ji Mo An into an empty room.

    “…” Xuan Bai, whose hand was slapped away, narrowed his eyes unhappily, staring at the tightly closed door.

    Snake, unhappy.

    “No, are you crazy?” Ji Cheng Yu paced back and forth in the room, his carefully styled hair already ruffled like a chicken coop.

    “Didn’t I already introduce him to you guys?” In comparison, Ji Mo An seemed much calmer.

    “I… you…” Ji Cheng Yu stammered for a while, then asked incredulously.

    “You’re serious?”

    “Otherwise?” Ji Mo An retorted.

    “No, putting aside Aunt Mu’s side, how long have you known him? It wasn’t too long ago that you brought him to my company last time, how did it go from suspicion to… to…” Ji Cheng Yu stumbled for a long time, then came up with another huge loophole.

    “Isn’t he off the books? Seriously, Old An, I really checked, and I couldn’t find anything.”

    “He’s not off the books.” Ji Mo An didn’t expect Ji Cheng Yu to remember this, “I used to think he was off the books because of language communication issues. Lin Mo checked, and there’s no problem.”

    “Oh my god.” Ji Cheng Yu fell straight back on the sofa, his eyes glazed over, “I’m afraid your uncle and aunt will beat you… this… if you suddenly go abroad, I’d suspect you ran off to get a marriage certificate…”

    Marriage certificate?

    Ji Mo An even seriously pondered for a moment.

    There was nothing wrong with Xuan Bai’s documents, it wouldn’t be a problem to get him permanent residency, and Iceland itself belonged to Europe… perhaps he wouldn’t even need a visa to go to a country where he could get a marriage certificate.

    “It’s not impossible.” He concluded.

    “Oh god… I shouldn’t have disembarked.” Ji Cheng Yu began to desperately pinch his philtrum.

    “Why are you reacting so strongly? Aren’t you and your family’s also the same?” Ji Mo An kicked him in exasperation.

    “How can that be the same? That’s worlds apart.” Ji Cheng Yu jumped up, “I’m not the eldest son, inheritance has nothing to do with me, they won’t bother me if I don’t cause trouble. Isn’t Old Master Wei the one who asked you to bring him to the charity gala?”

    “Yes.” Ji Mo An nodded.

    “Old An, you have to think carefully, you can’t just act impulsively…”

    “Hiss hiss…” Just then, the circulation vent of the central air conditioner above the two of them suddenly made a rustling sound.

    Ji Cheng Yu was sitting directly below the circulation vent, and was suddenly hit on the head.

    “Ouch…” He touched the back of his neck and actually felt a few small pebbles.

    “What…” He subconsciously looked up, and a black shadow was directly pasted on his face.

    A snake… a snake had fallen on his face.

    “Ahhhhh…” Ji Cheng Yu almost jumped up directly, his screams filling the entire room.

    “Hiss hiss… hiss hiss…” The snake that had fallen on his face took the opportunity to wrap its body around his neck, loudly hissing into his ears.

    “Don’t move!” Even Ji Mo An was startled.

    The scales of the snake wrapped around Ji Cheng Yu’s neck were black and shiny, and a pair of round black eyes were like top-quality black gemstones.

    One glance, Xuan Bai…

    Ji Cheng Yu froze on the sofa when he heard Ji Mo An’s words, his neck raised high. The snake’s scales were cold, and the slightly opened edges of the hard scales scratched his skin with every movement, bringing a few strands of itching and stinging.

    “It’s going to bite me… Old An… it’s going to strangle me…” Ji Cheng Yu was half-dead with fright, and his physiological tears splattered onto the snake’s body.

    “It won’t bite you, don’t move.” Ji Mo An carefully pinched the snake’s Seven Inches, while the other hand wedged into the black snake’s belly to give Ji Cheng Yu a chance to breathe.

    Something was wrong… Ji Mo An carefully controlled his strength.

    Although the snake was obediently having its neck pinched, it was not relaxed at all, and even poked the tip of its sharp tail at Ji Cheng Yu’s Adam’s apple.

    But the biggest problem was still the eyes. Ji Mo An couldn’t see a trace of spirituality in the snake’s eyes, completely different from the eyes of the chopstick snake Xuan Bai.

    It was as wooden as a real snake.

    Click… the door was suddenly knocked open, and a tall figure directly pushed the door open and walked in.

    “Xuan Bai?” Ji Mo An was stunned.

    “I heard some noises, do you need help?” Xuan Bai smiled innocently, but a hint of playfulness flashed in his amber eyes when he saw Ji Cheng Yu’s neck.

    “Quick… come over and help, take the snake away.” Ji Mo An almost misspoke, he was sure now.

    This snake was controlled by Xuan Bai, and now, probably no one but Xuan Bai could take the black snake off Ji Cheng Yu’s neck.

    “Okay.” The smile on Xuan Bai’s lips deepened, he deliberately went behind Ji Mo An and leaned over slightly.

    The breath exhaled by the snake was cold.

    Ji Mo An clearly felt Xuan Bai’s chest pressing against his back shoulder, and a faint breath brushed past his ear.

    “Don’t move.” The man’s voice was low and magnetic, and his slender fingertips covered the back of his hand, gently pinching the black snake’s Seven Inches.

    The fingertips were also cold.

    For a moment, he didn’t know if the snake scales were colder or the fingertips were cooler.

    “Hiss hiss…” The black snake’s throat was gradually being squeezed tighter, and it had to open its mouth to reveal two sharp fangs.

    Ji Cheng Yu didn’t dare to move at all, and the direction he raised his head could just see Xuan Bai’s unwavering eyes.

    It was clearly a light amber color, but it seemed deeper than a black pool.

    Gradually, the black snake twisted its body and wrapped its snake body around Xuan Bai’s arm.

    It wrapped tightly, leaving several red marks on the pale skin.

    “Ha…” Ji Cheng Yu collapsed as soon as he saw the snake completely leave his neck, his forehead covered with cold sweat in a matter of seconds.

    “How… how could there be a snake here… scared me to death.” He covered his neck, unable to react for a long time.

    “The bookcase collapsed.” Xuan Bai lowered his hand, hiding the black snake behind him. “All six Black King Snake babies ran out. Five were caught, I didn’t expect the last one to be here.”

    “Old An, I’ll stay at your old house tonight.” Ji Cheng Yu shivered, his smile looking worse than crying.

    “I’ll arrange a car to take you there, you rest for a while first…” Ji Mo An checked his neck, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no injuries.

    Although the snake was wrapped around his neck, it was more like hanging, there was only a mental impact and no physical attack.

    “No need, no need, I’ll go myself.” Ji Cheng Yu climbed up from the sofa, his legs shaking like a sieve.

    “I’ve lost too much face… Oh my god… I have to get Zi Yang and the others to go to the old house with me.”

    “…” Ji Mo An watched Ji Cheng Yu walk out the door shivering, and finally turned around to glare at Xuan Bai.

    “Go to my room and wait for me, don’t leave.” His tone was heavier, and then he followed Ji Cheng Yu out the door.

    Ji Mo An was angry. Xuan Bai tilted his head in confusion, he licked his fangs with the tip of his tongue, and obediently went to Ji Mo An’s room.

    But why was Ji Mo An angry?

    The snake didn’t understand, so the snake hugged the little black snake and sat pitifully in the corner.

    Ten minutes passed… Ji Mo An didn’t come back.

    Xuan Bai touched the little snake’s head, and the little snake turned into a hard scale the size of a fingernail and was put into his sleeve.

    Twenty minutes passed, and Ji Mo An still hadn’t come back.

    Ji Mo An was angry… and it was different from the anger before… the snake anxiously turned into a two-meter-long black snake, shaking its tail tip uneasily.

    Half an hour later, Ji Mo An still hadn’t come back.

    The snake pitifully crawled under the bed, biting the tip of its tail with its sharp teeth.

    An hour later…

    Xuan Bai, who was completely paralyzed on the ground like a dead snake, suddenly felt familiar footsteps on the ground.

    Ji Mo An was back! The snake wagged its tail happily.

    “Get out.” The door clicked open, then slammed shut.

    Ji Mo An was even angrier, and the snake pitifully shrank further under the bed.

    “Come out, Mom and Dad want to see you.” Ji Mo An looked at the urging message sent by his sister, and could only suppress the anger in his heart for the time being.

    “Hiss hiss…” The snake carefully poked its head out, its big golden eyes teary.

    “…” Grandfather was right.

    Ji Mo An unconsciously bit his lip, Xuan Bai didn’t have any human habits at all… he was completely a snake wearing a human skin.

    Damn it… get through Mom and Dad’s side first, then properly deal with the snake.
