Chapter 74: Snakes Will Never Drink Again. Greetings from Losder, I…

“Bao… Xuan Bai, why did you change your clothes?” Aunt Mu, who had spared time from her busy schedule to check on the children’s preparations, looked at Xuan Bai’s new clothes in surprise.

“Cough… he spilled water on himself, so I simply changed him into a new outfit.” Ji Mo Lin, now filled with guilt towards the snake, took the blame consciously.

“You didn’t bully him, did you?” Aunt Mu was even more surprised, but recalling the Old Master’s previous zebra remarks, suspicion immediately arose in her heart.

Bully? Bully!

As soon as the snake heard this, it immediately hid behind Aunt Mu, looking wronged.

Snake, wronged! The snake opened its mouth and silently bared its sharp fangs at Ji Mo Lin.

“How could I bully him?” Ji Mo Lin got annoyed just looking at the snake’s innocent and aggrieved act.

He was self-adjusting, and he was also reflecting, but… but…

It was just too punchable.

Aunt Mu, unaware of all this, sighed as she watched the Old Master’s face gradually turn red. She turned around, and the triumphant snake immediately put away its sharp fangs and stood upright.

“Alright, Auntie will take you to change into another outfit. New accessories just arrived, and Auntie will style you with them.” She gently shook her head, looking at the obedient snake in an office suit identical to Lin Mo’s.

“How can such a lovely child wear such boring clothes every day?”

Ji Mo Lin watched helplessly as the snake repeatedly switched between baring its teeth in intimidation and acting like an obedient snake, wanting to be angry but not daring to be.

“Now there’s someone who can keep you in check.” After the two left, Mu Nanyuan, also dressed in a suit and leather shoes, strolled over again with a cane.

“How does it feel? Mr. Ji Mo Lin, whom no one dared to refute before, tell me your thoughts.”

“Liver hurts.” Ji Mo Lin thumped his chest and snatched Mu Nanyuan’s cane. “Where’s Chenchen? Didn’t he come up with you?”

“Went to find his brother.” Mu Nanyuan pouted, looking at his empty hand.

—

The snake, still handsome after changing to a different color scheme, was forbidden from approaching Ji Mo An.

“Either follow behind Mom or go to the banquet hall to eat small cakes, but don’t get too close to me.” Ji Mo An held a champagne glass, wearing a professional smile and glaring at Xuan Bai.

“Don’t forget the task I gave you.” He lowered his voice.

Okay, the snake held its little notebook and walked resolutely into the crowd.

Emotions, emotions.

The snake easily blurred its appearance in human eyes, identifying the emotions of each human.

Until…

Should I try a sip?

The snake looked at the various drinks in the hands of the attendants, then looked up at Ji Mo An, who was not far away, talking to the guests.

Even Old Master Lin was holding a glass of red wine.

Is it really that delicious? Xuan Bai widened his eyes.

The snake had never drunk alcohol in Starry Sky, except when it was splashed with a bucket of realgar wine by players during its first, inexperienced, instance business.

Bitter, spicy, even making the snake’s tongue go numb.

In addition, many players clamored to soak snakes in wine, so from then on, it kept alcohol at a distance, even if its companions would be keen to urge him to taste the fine wine brewed by the elves.

Ji Mo An didn’t drink alcohol when he was with snakes either…

Xuan Bai took a glass of transparent liquid and smelled it under his nose.

So pungent… The snake almost sneezed.

But Ji Mo An was always drinking now. Xuan Bai gritted his teeth and poured the entire glass of wine into his mouth.

“Cough cough cough…”

So spicy!

The snake held the empty glass, its eyes instantly red. So spicy! So pungent!

The snake will never drink again!

The snake wanted to go back to its nest.

Huff… At this moment, a strange aura flashed past the snake.

Xuan Bai suddenly raised his head, but all that passed by were guests and attendants disguised as ability users.

The aura disappeared. Xuan Bai looked around and walked forward in the direction the crowd was gathering, entering a new hall.

He stood in the crowd, looking at Ji Mo Lin standing in the center.

The Old Master seemed to be saying something, but the snake didn’t hear it very clearly. It was just focused on looking at the man standing behind Ji Mo Lin.

In that highly anticipated position, Ji Mo An stood in the center of countless gazes, easily seeing the snake.

With that outstanding height and appearance, it was hard not to see him.

Ji Mo An’s heart stirred slightly, and the smile on his lips became a little more genuine.

His grandfather was talking about the contributions he had made to the family, and his parents stood behind him, looking proud.

And he would become the head of the family, taking on the responsibility of supporting the family.

That was what he deserved, and that was what he would get.

Like… The snake stood under the stage, its pupils reflecting only one person.

It felt like eating a big mouthful of cotton candy, sweet in his heart and soft under his feet.

The emotions of the people around him gradually rose with the Old Master’s speech, branching out into countless distinct emotions as they approached their climax.

Shock, doubt, joy, admiration, and… anger and jealousy.

Xuan Bai swept around, remembering each of those malicious faces.

There were too many of those emotions, like plump cotton candies crammed into a limited space.

The snake looked up, filled with countless emotions, and unknowingly, the edges of those amber eyes began to glow with a layer of gold.

A little dizzy… Xuan Bai shook his head. The emotions around him began to become heavy and viscous. The snake opened its mouth, as if it had taken a bite of sticky syrup.

But Ji Mo An was about to become the head of the family, and Ji Mo Lin’s emotions had reached their peak.

After announcing his successor to truly take his place, he would unveil that pure yellow diamond together.

Equally brilliant, equally dazzling, equally… for the elite and the outstanding.

But if the brilliance is too dazzling, it will cover up the movements beneath the gutter.

“You wouldn’t want others to know what you’re doing, would you?”

Jealousy to the extreme had escalated to resentment, and the malice was so great that the edges of the soul were tinged with black.

Pale fingertips touched the neck, and the low voice was like the whisper of a demon.

“Who are you?” Ji Mo Xuan stood in place, his body trembling with fear from an unknown source.

He could not turn around, nor could he look back. He could only raise his head, looking at the figure he hated on the high platform, looking at the position he dreamed of obtaining.

“Huff…” Scalding breath brushed past his ear, and a pair of pure golden vertical pupils crashed into his peripheral vision.

It seemed as if something heavy was pressing on his spine, forcing that straight back to bend down.

As if bowing to the person on the stage.

The snake tilted its head, a strange smile hooking on the corner of its lips. Almost half of its body was pressed on the man’s shoulder, and pale, cold fingertips tapped the trembling skin beneath in a casual manner.

“Want to know who I am?”

Ji Mo Xuan trembled and nodded, but quickly shook his head again.

“But you’re not qualified.” The snake was smiling, and that low laughter bounced on the trembling heartstrings, causing the ugly soul to tremble again and again.

“Second Uncle~”

He uttered two words, and the emotions wrapped in malice swelled several times over.

As everyone knows, bosses are extremely sensitive to emotions. But souls full of malice excite them even more.

Blood and death are the path that bosses take, and malice and slaughter are the flowers along the way.

The snake’s pupils shrank to the extreme, and sharp fangs grazed the trembling skin.

“I’ll give you a chance. Go ahead, you can do whatever you want, okay?”

“No… I don’t want to do anything.” Ji Mo Xuan gasped for breath, but his lungs seemed unable to obtain more oxygen.

“No, you do.” Xuan Bai tapped his finger, sliding down the man’s arm, and pulled out a phone without a case from his pocket.

“What are you doing?!” Ji Mo Xuan shuddered violently.

“Don’t worry, no one will see.”

A pale hand appeared in his field of vision, slowly and methodically entering the correct password.

“Who the hell are you?” Ji Mo Xuan completely panicked. He tried desperately to break free, but his hands and feet were as if nailed to the spot and could not move.

“Wouldn’t it be a pity to not show off after preparing so much?”

Fingers entered a string of seemingly garbled numbers on the phone and sent it to a number marked as spam.

[1]

The phone vibrated slightly, and the number replied with a number.

At the same time, the huge curtain behind the stage flickered slightly, but returned to its original appearance.

…

“So, from today onwards, my child will take over my mantle…”

“…but you must not slack off in the future. You must put the interests of the country and the people first, and take the overall situation into account, so that the family will be proud of you…”

In the thunderous applause of the people under the stage, an even heavier force pressed on his shoulders.

“Look, nothing happened, and nothing will happen.”

The hand put the phone back in its pocket, and thoughtfully smoothed out the raised corners of the clothes.

“Even if you have prepared countless backhands, you can’t stop his inheritance.”

“Some people don’t know what you did six years ago, but some people know exactly what happened. Suppress the crooked thoughts in your heart, and if you persist, then you can only taste the pain of being pierced through the heart.”

As the low voice fell, the man’s hands and feet suddenly lightened.

Just as Ji Mo Xuan wanted to turn his head, a sudden stabbing pain from his heart caused him to fall directly to the ground.

It hurts so much… It hurts so much… It was as if the heart was directly shattered into pieces and flew to every corner of the body.

Ji Mo Xuan gasped and looked up, vainly trying to grab the ankles of the people around him for help.

Save him… Save him… It hurts so much… It’s going to hurt to death…

Unfortunately, no one responded. Everyone was looking at the stage, and no one paid attention to him because of his gaffe.

“No one will know.” That demon-like voice chased after him again. “This feeling, you know, I know, heaven and earth don’t know.”

“Then guess, is the pain of being pierced through the heart, or the pain of having your heart shattered in a car accident?”

His hair was yanked up violently, and a large number of black spots appeared in front of his eyes due to suffocation.

“Second Uncle, I think a car accident is more painful.”

“Haha…”

The snake lowered its head and looked at the embarrassed man, and suddenly laughed. He directly picked up Ji Mo Xuan and meticulously helped him dust off the ash from his collar.

The pain disappeared, disappearing without a trace in an instant. Only the collar, soaked with cold sweat, knew that the pain had once come.

Ji Mo Xuan dared not move, standing stiffly in place. He didn’t want to know who the other party was anymore, just wanted this torture to pass quickly.

“Please, let me go. I can do anything you want…” His voice had already become stuttering.

“It’s okay, you don’t have to do anything.” Xuan Bai lowered his eyes, raised his hand and wiped away the blood that overflowed from the corner of his lips.

Unfortunately, the second outfit that Mom gave him was also soiled…

“Please rest assured, our intersection has not yet reached its time. Live well, ensure your mental clarity, and ensure your limbs are sound. I will meet your soul again, and then I will entertain you.”

Xuan Bai dropped the last sentence and retreated into the crowd, disappearing without a trace.

Ji Mo An in the previous life did not know, and Ji Mo An in this life still does not know. He still believes that the car accident was an accident, an accident due to being too arrogant and belittling driving.

Ji Mo Lin in the previous life knew the truth, and the desperate old man was so angry that he attacked his heart and vomited blood and died. In the last moment, he wrote all the rights into his will and gave them to Aunt Mu. But Ji Mo Lin in this life does not know, because the snake manipulated an empty car, fully drawing the suspicion.

The Ouroboros in the previous life was still the boss that made players frightened, until a player named Ji Mo An broke into his territory. So the gears of fate began to turn, and Xuan Bai in this life had already injected venom into the murderer’s neck.

Under the gaze of the world, Xuan Bai cannot attack humans. But in that world belonging to Starry Sky, the boss is the only nemesis of players.

He will enter Starry Sky, even if he is not qualified.

But he will enter Starry Sky, because Ouroboros is the child favored by the Father God.

“Ah…” Xuan Bai walked in the empty corridor, and drops of blood fell from his hem to the ground and were quickly swallowed by the blue flames.

“I almost forgot something more important.” He pushed open the luxurious door in front of him and looked at the man in the black and white suit.

“…”

“Lord Ouroboros, good afternoon.”

The tall waiter turned around, with a few strands of white glue still hanging on his handsome face.

“Sorry, I let you see an inelegant scene.” He wiped off the glue and put it into the human skin mask in his hand.

“Greetings from Losder, I have been waiting for you for a long time.”
