The Earl of Wocheng loved collecting these strange pets, and if one could present him with such a gift, then..

On summer nights by the sea, the wind is slightly chilly, blowing away the heat from people's bodies.

Peng San's eyes lit up: "A big profit!"

At this moment, the night market was coming to an end, and both vendors and customers were heading home. The households in Woshui Town were gradually lighting up.

Peng Er crawled on the ground, trying to get out: "I'm really afraid of snakes, I need to leave here!"

However, for the thieves, this was the best time for their activities.

When it was unaware of the situation, it would quietly observe. After realizing that the three people had no intention of harming it, it swiftly ambushed Peng Er and then proactively started negotiating terms.

Walking once through the crowd returning home, wandering a bit among the households that sleep early, his backpack was full.

Peng Er collapsed to the ground, his face quickly turning a bluish-black.

Tonight, Peng San was supposed to repeat this step, but about ten minutes ago, the three brothers encountered Su Yao.

The little snake quickly dodged onto the furniture: "I advise you not to touch me, only I can cure my venom!"

Under the direction of his eldest and second brothers, Peng San decided to temporarily change their route and keep a close eye on this big fish.

"Big brother, what should we do? Second brother really seems to be poisoned."

Su Yao's magic level wasn't low, but Peng San wasn't afraid at all. In their line of work, it wasn't about face-to-face magical combat, but rather about speed.

Peng Er's appearance, even without any medical knowledge, clearly showed that he was poisoned.

He had even stolen from a seventh-level mage before, so he didn't care at all about Su Yao, who was only at the fourth level.

Peng Yi's hand, gripping the weapon, trembled. For a moment, he didn't know what to do. He didn't want to let the snake that had harmed his brother go, but he was also afraid that only the snake could provide the antidote.

I'm sorry, but it seems like the source text is missing. Could you please provide the text you would like translated?

Su Yao entered just as the situation was at a stalemate.

Yaya hid herself tightly in Su Yao's clothes and whispered, "He's getting closer, just one more intersection and he'll be right next to us."

"How did you get in here!"

"Okay," Su Yao whispered to Ya.

"With just a level-four water system spell, you can conjure a staircase out of thin air. You can't do that?"

Not long after leaving the Tutu Inn, Su Yao sensed something was amiss. Fortunately, Ya was perched on her shoulder, eyes and ears alert, and happened to notice the sneaky man advancing from behind.

Su Yao's casual remark caused immense harm. What was even more damaging was that Su Yao's level-four magic directly knocked Peng Yi to the ground.

As Heya had estimated, at the next intersection, the man hurriedly walked past Su Yao.

Let's not even talk about how she managed to slip in under the nose of a Level Six Mage and even land an attack on Peng Yi with a single move. Just the mention of this Illusionary Staircase—Peng San had never heard of it from his elder brother.

As the person passed by, Su Yao also learned about the other party's profession. However, this person was different from the other thieves she had encountered on the street where the Tutu Hotel was located.

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

They knew that their practice of magic was different from those who had formal mentorship, but the difference was just too vast.

His skill level is exceptionally high.

Peng Yi quickly stood up, intending to strike back, but the little snake suddenly flew over and blocked Su Yao.

Su Yao only knew that he walked past her, but she didn't feel any physical contact between them.

"Go ahead, hit me. Even if you kill me, your brother won't come back to life!"

If it weren't for the fact that the little snake was missing, Su Yao really wouldn't dare to call the other person a thief.

Peng Yi's eyes widened in anger, but he was helpless. "What exactly do you want?"

"Chase?"

"It was you who stole my pet, and now you're asking me what I want to do?"

Su Yao has a pact with the little snake, and everything the little snake sees and hears can be transmitted to Su Yao.

Peng San held Peng Er's head, clearly feeling that Peng Er was exhaling more than inhaling. He was extremely flustered and kept calling for his big brother.

"Chase them." With the location information, catching up wouldn't be difficult.

The situation was once again at a standstill, but Peng Yi didn't dare let it drag on too long; Peng Er couldn't hold out!

On the other side, Peng San hurried along. Contrary to his calm expression, his hands were clenched tightly, hiding the freshly stolen item in his sleeve.

"Master, we were wrong, please spare us! As long as you are willing to forgive us, we are willing to do anything for you! We'll even give you all the money we have!"

After making seven turns, Peng San looked back repeatedly. Once he was sure no one was following, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Peng Yi knelt down and handed everything he had to Su Yao.

After turning two more corners, Peng San found his eldest and second eldest brothers.

Peng San, seeing this, hurriedly followed suit. He threw the items away, knelt down, and apologized, "I'm sorry, sir, we were wrong. Please, I beg you, spare my second brother. It was I who stole the things. Please punish me!"

"Come in quickly!"

Su Yao was very angry, but in the current situation, she didn't know how to handle it.

As soon as Peng One opened the door, Peng Two checked the surroundings on the wall. After confirming there were no issues, they called Peng Three inside.

"System, do you have any good solutions in your big data? Preferably something that can protect our safety and also punish them."

"Did you get it?"

According to big data statistics, eighty percent of male and female protagonists would choose to detoxify the villain at this moment, but only half of the poison. The remaining poison requires an antidote to be taken monthly. During this period, the villain can be used by the protagonists.

Peng San smiled proudly, "Of course!"

"It's a good method!"

Peng Er exclaimed, "Little brother is getting more and more impressive!"

The fourth-level little snake could control its venom, so Su Yao instructed it to extract half of the poison from Peng Er's body.

"Of course! Play some music for my little brother!" Peng Yi extended both thumbs towards Peng San in praise.

Peng Er was a level five mage, a rank higher than the little snake. In truth, the venom wouldn't have been lethal to him, but because Peng Er was afraid of snakes, the effects turned out to be quite severe. Now that the little snake had retracted half of the venom, Peng Er's condition improved significantly.

With the music that Peng Er had turned on, Peng San swayed his body and, with a sudden "thud," took out the little snake.

Peng Yi and Peng San breathed a sigh of relief the moment they saw Peng Er wake up.

Peng Yi: .....

"The poison hasn't been fully neutralized, only half of it."

Peng Er: !

With just one sentence, their hearts were once again in their throats.

"What the hell is this!"

"Didn't you just say you could help me with anything? Well, I do need someone to help me with something. Peng Er, with the poison, will be the hostage, and you brothers..."

"Who are you asking! How did you end up bringing back a snake!"

Peng Yi and Peng San sighed, their hearts sinking. They knew it wouldn't be so easy to be let off.

"Ahhh, I'm afraid of snakes! Take it away quickly!"

Peng Er was groggy and unclear about what had happened. As Peng Yi and Peng San carried him towards the hotel, they recounted everything that had transpired.

Peng San was stunned, "I didn't steal the wrong thing, I stole from the bulging pocket she had!"

Peng Er was stunned: "No wonder my body hurts so much, I have already died once."

Peng Yi: "You really are a fool! There's no mistake, the wrong answer is right in front of you!"

Peng San nodded: "Yes! Thanks to me and my big brother, our brotherly bond moves heaven and earth!"

"Take it away quickly! My legs have already gone weak!"

Back at the hotel, as Su Yao had just mentioned, Peng Er was detained and held hostage.

"What should I do then? Did I fail again?" Peng San was doubting his life. "Why would anyone put a snake in their pocket? And such a strange snake at that! Is it stupid? Why isn't it moving!"

Peng Yi and Peng San were assigned to the Central Plains Forest.

"Wait!" Peng San's words reminded Peng Yi, "A strange snake, one we've never seen before. It's a pet, right? If it doesn't move, it's obedient. If we've never seen it, it's rare. We can sell it to the count!"

[Your slaves Peng Yi and Peng San are on their way to the Central Plains Forest, expected arrival time is 11:30 PM tonight.]

"I told you, I'm pretty lucky in some aspects. One moment I just found out that there are energy stones in the Central Forest, and the next moment someone comes along to work for me!"

If they hadn't mentioned the Count's mansion, Su Yao wouldn't have thought of the Central Plains Forest.

While Peng Yi and Peng San were happily discussing, a tragic scream rang out.

Before Peng Yi and Peng San could see Peng Er's condition clearly, a childish voice followed: "Are you going to give me away? To the count? The one near the Central Plains Forest?"

Although the little snake usually does nothing but eat and sleep, it is wise.

"You can talk? What on earth are you?" Peng Yi drew his weapon and aimed it at the little snake.

Peng Yi: .....
