Ye Sijue looked at her. He didn"t know whether to laugh or to cry as he said, "I don"t think so. Maybe the owner just likes snakes."

"I just feel really uneasy…" Annie tugged at him, trying to get him to leave.

Her hair stood on end when she looked at the snakes.

"We really shouldn"t stay here. Leave and close the door behind us." He led her out of the room.

Annie still had her reservations and looked around. "Do you think there are snakes in the other rooms? I keep feeling as though a snake will jump up from out of nowhere!"

"That won"t happen," said Ye Sijue.

Annie looked up at him. "Why wouldn"t it? It"s hard to tell what might happen. The owner keeps so many snakes. Who knows, one might have escaped."

Ye Sijue met her eyes. Smiling, he said, "You said that a snake might jump out suddenly. Snakes can"t jump, so your fears regarding this are invalid."

Annie looked at him. "Are… Are you joking with me?"

How could joke at a time like this?

"Yeah, I was joking so that you"d relax and not be so tense. Even though the snakes look dangerous, we"ll be fine so long we don"t get close to them. We"re not staying here overnight anyway, so let"s hurry up and find some clothes so that we can leave," said Ye Sijue.

However, he was concerned about her safety so he stayed with her.

Annie was still frightened, and thus hid behind him.

Ye Sijue opened the door to another room. It was dark inside. Holding up the oil lamp, he noted that it was a bedroom and relaxed.

"Go pick out some clothes." He steered her forward and gestured in the direction of the wardrobe.

Going by the objects on the dresser, it was obvious that there were women in the house.

However, Western girls were usually taller, and their clothes might not fit Annie, who was pet.i.te.

Annie said, "You sound like we"re going shopping for clothes."

Please, they were stealing someone"s clothes right now.

How could he announce such a statement so openly?

"Are you not afraid of the snakes anymore? You don"t want to leave anymore?" he asked, looking at he, amused.

Annie thought for a while. The most important thing was to leave, and not think about whether they were stealing.

"Should we turn on the lights?" she asked.

Ye Sijue looked at the window opposite them.

There were no windows in the room with the snakes earlier, and thus it didn"t matter if they turned on the lights as no one would be able to see it. However, there were windows in this room. If they switched on the lights, anyone outside would discover that there was someone home.

After thinking about it for a couple of seconds, he said, "I don"t think we should. I"ll hold the light for you, so hurry up and look for your clothes."

"Okay." Annie didn"t think about it carefully, for he had his own reasons for whatever he said.

She didn"t need to think about anything with him around.

Annie opened the wardrobe. She was greeted by the sight of men"s clothing, and thought that they might belong to the male homeowner.

She was about to close the door and open the other wardrobe when she looked down. There was something weird there and it was lifted its head to look at her.

Annie froze instantly.

"Snake…"
