"What?" She had spoken too softly, and Ye Sijue couldn"t hear her clearly.

Annie swallowed and repeated in a trembling voice, "Snake…"

This time, Ye Sijue heard her clearly.

His expression became grave and he said in a stern voice, "Don"t move."

Snakes were short-sighted, so as long as one didn"t move, it wouldn"t be able to detect anything in front.

"I"m so scared…" Annie"s cried. Her hand holding on to the wardrobe"s door was trembling too.

Because of what he said earlier, she didn"t even dare to lift her head gazing into the snake"s eyes, watching it flick its tongue.

However, that filled her with even more apprehension. She felt as though the snake were going to leap at her at any second.

"How far away is it from you?" Ye Sijue asked calmly.

"R-Really close." Annie could no longer speak calmly. She was stuttering as she whimpered, "It looks like it"s going to bite me soon. What should I do? Ye Sijue, hurry up and save me. I-It looks like a cobra…"

As she was speaking, the cobra raised itself higher and flared its hood, as if trying to scare her. It looked terrifying.

Annie almost screeched in fear, but gritted her teeth and swallowed it. Her pet.i.te frame trembled even more violently now.

"What do I do? It looks like it has seen me…"

"Don"t move. Don"t move at all," Ye Sijue reminded. Disregarding all other dangers, he turned on the room light.

He then started walking over to her immediately.

Judging by the size of the wardrobe, the distance between her and the snake was indeed very small.

If she turned around to run, and the snake jumped at her, she might not be able to avoid it.

A cobra…

It was the world"s most famous venomous snake. If its bite was not treated in time, one could die in half an hour to an hour"s time.

Ye Sijue"s already pale handsome face was even whiter now.

If they were bitten by the snake in their current situation, their chance of survival wouldn"t be high, for they wouldn"t be able to get to the hospital right away.

Thus, they absolutely couldn"t get bitten.

They had to move very carefully.

Annie was frightened out of her mind. She had never encountered something like this in her entire life.

No one would be able to remain calm in the face of death, especially not a delicate little girl like her.

"Ye Sijue…" She was about to cry.

"Don"t be afraid. I"m here. You"ll be fine. I won"t let it bite you. Don"t move. Don"t move a muscle," Ye Sijue calmed her in a gentle voice.

Annie"s heart, which was beating rapidly from fear, seemed to calm down a little at his a.s.surance.

Ye Sijue walked a little closer. He could finally see the snake as he stood beside her.

It was indeed a cobra…

He didn"t know why a snake was inside a wardrobe. Could it be that the owner had deliberately put it there?

If so, the homeowner might have placed their valuables in the wardrobe along with the snake to guard them.

They were unexpectedly unlucky.

Ye Sijue"s face became even paler and he regretted his actions.

If he had known this would happen, he would have left the house the moment he found the venomous snakes.

After all, feelings of foreboding were extremely accurate.

They were in a dire situation right now. Annie was too close to the cobra.
