The Complete Guide to Rearing an Alien Boyfriend

Chapter 60 Reel Silk from Cocoons
As Yamamoto spoke, a cobra stuck its head out from the wide sleeve of his samurai suit. Two eyes stared at Jiang Ba, it opened its mouth and showed its forked tongue and two venomous fangs.

Long Xi gasped.

The cobra’s venomous fangs had not been removed. They were still poisonous. How could Yamamoto not be afraid of being bitten by the snake?

Snakes were cold-blooded animals, unlike warm-blooded mammals like dogs and cats which might develop deep feelings for its owner after a long time. Even the master who raised snakes and knew how to control them couldn’t guarantee that the snakes would not bite him.

Did this Yamamoto also have the superpower of controlling beasts, just like Lord Mo Kun?

Jiang Ba’s facial muscles quivered and he backed away involuntarily.

Appearing frightened yet angry, his eyes were cold. He said, “Mr. Yamamoto, if you don’t do as I say, you’ll never make it back to Fusang alive. You know what I can do! I have a thousand ways to make you disappear from the world and make you feel that life will be worse than death!”

Yamamoto sneered and left without saying a word.

Before leaving, he cast a meaningful look at Mo Kun.

Jiang Ba shouted, “Get him!”

Compared with Jiang Ba, those guys seemed to be more afraid of Yamamoto. They all flinched and seemed afraid to touch Yamamoto.

Yamamoto, with a sneer on his face, calmly left.

Mo Kun said to Long Xi, “I have something urgent to attend to.”

Then he said to Jiang Ba, “Listen to Long Xi and don’t disobey her.”

After that, he followed Yamamoto!

Long Xi went to knock on teacher Xu’s door and said, “Teacher Xu, it’s all right. You can come out.”

Teacher Xu walked out of the living room and was stunned to see Jiang Ba, who usually bullied others in the school, kneeling down in front of Long Xi.

Long Xi said, “Jiang Ba, you crawl in front of teacher Xu and kowtow to teacher Xu until they’ve cleaned up the gasoline.”

Jiang Ba was really obedient! He crawled to teacher Xu with both his hands and feet, kowtowing all the time until his forehead bled, but he continued to kowtow.

Teacher Xu wept bitterly.

He worshipped the picture that had been displayed at Xian’er’s coffin a few times and said to himself, “This must be my Xian’er’s doing!”

Half an hour later, those guys finally cleaned up and left with Jiang Ba, who was feeling totally stunned.

Long Xi said to teacher Xu, “Teacher Xu, I think we need to look at the autopsy report first. The easiest way is to work with Fu Xinjie. I just invited Fu Xinjie to be a friend on my WeChat, but she has not responded to me. I called her, but she didn’t answer, too.”

Teacher Xu said, “That Fu burned my daughter’s suicide note; it must have made her turn over in her grave. I hate her!”

Long Xi wanted to pacify teacher Xu, but she did not know what to say.

Teacher Xu gritted his teeth and said, “And that Jiang Ba, I want him to die, too. And Yan Wangchuan, he may be a victim, but he is also an accomplice! Long Xi, I advise you not to be friends with Yan Wangchuan. Sooner or later, he will kill you too!”

Long Xi shook her head and said, “Brother Wangchuan is not like that! He’s also a victim! His nature is good!”

Teacher Xu smiled wryly and said, “Long Xi, I know you are a kind-hearted girl, so you think others are as kind as you. I used to be as silly and naive as you are! Have you ever heard the story of the frog carrying the poisonous scorpion across the river?”

Long Xi thought about it and said, “I’ve heard about it. A vicious scorpion wanted to cross the river, but it can’t swim. It said to the kind frog, ‘Could you carry me across the river? I promise I won’t hurt you. If I poison you, I would fall into the river and drown too.’ The frog trusted the scorpion and carried it across the river. On the way, the scorpion could not help stabbing the frog with the poisonous sting on its tail. The frog asked the scorpion before it died, ‘Why are you doing this? You will die, too!’ The scorpion said, ‘I cannot control myself, it’s in my nature.’ At last, both the frog and the scorpion died.”

Teacher Xu said, “Yes, nature, what I’m talking about is nature. You are the kind-hearted frog and Yan Wangchuan is the vicious scorpion. Don’t carry him across the river!”

Long Xi bit her lips and said, “Teacher Xu, if Xian’er has a spirit in heaven, she certainly doesn’t want to see you like this. My grandmother always tells me that people must learn to let go! When my parents were killed in a car accident, she had thoughts about taking revenge on the drunken driver. “But then, she thought about me, how I was still an infant and if anything ever happened to her, I would really be a girl without a home. So…”

Her words touched Teacher Xu, who remained silent for a long time. And he said, “Long Xi, I think you should understand my feelings. My daughter is dead and I have nothing left to live for. I don’t care whether I live or die. I even want to be reunited with her in the afterlife as soon as possible! The only thing that is keeping me alive is to see these villains die one by one! Now there are two dead and one in prison, Cheng Yilun, Chen Qiangjian and Liu Dazhi! It is really Heaven’s will that my daughter’s death will eventually be avenged!”

Long Xi asked, “Since the suicide note was burnt, how could you have another bloodletter with you?”

Teacher Xu said, “I don’t know either. Last night, I had a dream about Xian’er and she said she had avenged herself on Chen Qiangjian. This morning when I woke up, I saw the bloodletter lying next to my pillow.”

Long Xi looked straight at teacher Xu, but he did not look directly at Long Xi and subconsciously touched his ear.

Long Xi had studied psychology before and teacher Xu’s performance made her feel that he was not telling the truth.

Teacher Xu seemed a little tired. His eyes blurred and he constantly rubbed his temples.

Long Xi said, “Teacher Xu, I want to ask one last question. Does Liuxing know why Xu Xian’er committed suicide?”

Teacher Xu was silent for a moment and said, “He doesn’t know. How could he possibly know that? If Xian’er had not told me that in the dream, I would not know the truth of her suicide either. All I know is that she was tortured before she died. I also heard from her roommate that Xian’er had left a bloodletter and the police took it away, but the police told me there was no bloodletter. You tell me, how did our society become like this?”

Long Xi said, “If people’s hearts are right, then the atmosphere is right. In a word, to correct the society, we must first correct the people’s hearts. Teacher Xu, do you know where Gong Liuxing is now?”

Teacher Xu was stunned for a moment and asked, “Do you suspect Liuxing? No, I’ve seen him before. He’s a very simple boy from a mountain area. He wouldn’t do such a thing. Shouldn’t he be in class now?”

Long Xi said, “Teacher Xu, then you have a good rest and leave the investigation to me. If I find the real murderer, I’ll tell you. I won’t let that red envelope game hurt you!”
