The cobra flicked its tongue and moved forward.

Annie was frightened. Trembling violently, she screeched, "AH!"

"Don"t shout loudly," Ye Sijue reminded her sternly, but his pupils were quivering. His eyes were observing the distance between her and the snake, trying to determine how he could get her to safety.

If she was bitten, her life would be over.

That was the only thing that was going through his mind right now.

"Aren"t snakes deaf… It can"t hear me, right?" Annie whispered.

Even though snakes were deaf and couldn"t hear, they could detect vibrations from loud noises.

Thus, the best thing to do was to remain still and maintain her posture.

"Stop the trembling in your hand." Ye Sijue was talking about her hand that was grabbing the wardrobe"s door.

Annie was about to cry. "I can"t do it…"

She didn"t want to tremble either!

It was natural to tremble when faced with a venomous snake like a cobra.

The snake was flicking its tongue at her threateningly and it looked really scary.

"May I let go of the wardrobe then?" she asked carefully.

"No. Anyway, just don"t move." Ye Sijue was being exceeding careful. A single mistake could end her life.

"But…" She didn"t want to move, but her hand was trembling so badly that the wardrobe was shaking as well.

Ye Sijue said, "Let me think about it."

"Hurry up and think…" Annie said, annoyed with him.

Ye Sijue"s heart ached for her. He wished that their positions were reversed.

His gaze turned icy as he told her sternly. "It"s going to be okay. Just follow what I say, alright?"

"Okay." Annie nodded. She looked like she trusted him completely.

She knew that he would find a way to save her.

"I"ll count to three, and I"ll think of something to distract it. Just focus on running away when I count to one. Do you hear me?" Ye Sijue said calmly as he fixed his stare at the snake, terrified that it would suddenly lunge for her.

"Okay. I hear you." Annie pursed her lips and nodded.

"I"ll start counting…" Ye Sijue grabbed a rod-like thing and moved closer to where her legs were.

Knocking on the floor, he drawled, "Three… Two… One!"

When the snake moved its head away, he shouted hastily, "RUN!"

Annie"s eyes widened in fear. She emptied her mind of all other thoughts and tried to run when he shouted the last number.

However, her legs had turned into jelly due to fear so she couldn"t run at all.

She staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Ye Sijue reached out to pull her up, but saw the cobra"s jaws widen. It leapt towards her.

Sh*t!

He had no time to think. His hand had already reached out.

"Psst!" He gasped as the Cobra bit down.

"GO!" Ye Sijue hauled her up and dragged her out of the room. He slammed the door shut.

Then, he fell down onto the floor with a thud.
