Penang is a central city in East China. Skyscrapers rise up in neat rows throughout the city.

In the metropolis at night, the city lights blaze brightly, and the noise from the streets rises and falls. The silver ring remains motionless, wrapped around a roadside tree, overlooking the road below.

As night deepened and all was quiet, the snake's black and white body finally stirred slightly.

She climbed onto the tree trunk and swam a short distance, her head raised as she observed the road conditions in the distance.

Once she was sure there were fewer vehicles on the road, she breathed a sigh of relief, flicking her tongue. Then she turned around and, like a black and white lightning bolt, darted to the side of the white-haired man who was pretending to be dead on a tree trunk.

She flicked her snake tail, tugged at the motionless white fur, and said somewhat impatiently, "There are fewer cars on the road, hurry up and get up to lead the way."

White Fur was contemplating his rat life when he was suddenly slapped, nearly knocking him off a tree.

He propped up one of his hind legs and squeaked a few times in a somewhat complaining manner.

"Speak properly, why are you resorting to physical violence?"

Silver Ring glanced disdainfully at White Hair, its snake tail stretching out in front of him: "I moved the tail."

The white-haired rat glared, its few white whiskers trembling rapidly: "I want to bite you."

The silver-ringed snake raised its head, snorted arrogantly, and grinned, revealing two sharp little teeth: "Let's see if you bite me or I bite you."

The snake and the rat had spent over a month together and were extremely familiar with each other. When loneliness struck on the road, bickering was the best way to pass the time.

The proverb "a den of snakes and rats" is perfectly embodied in these two outcasts.

Looking at Silver Ring's two small teeth, White Hair felt pain all over his body. He groaned a few times, thinking to himself: You little brat, just you wait. Once I get my demon core back, I'll make you pay.

Silver Ring's threat succeeded, and White Hair chickened out.

With a leap of three legs, he swiftly jumped down to the foot of the tree. He was a senior, and wouldn't stoop to the level of a little demon who didn't know how to be humble.

A month has passed, and Bai Mao's injured leg has still not recovered. He even began to wonder if he would be disabled for life.

Logically speaking, given his beastly regenerative abilities, he should have recovered completely long ago. However, for the past month, Yin Huan has been rushing to reunite with his sworn brother, not giving him a single chance to rest.

Please, he's made of flesh and blood, and he's lost his demon core... How can he recover from his injuries without rest!

It's really strange. This stupid snake looks so small and delicate, so where does it get its strength? It managed to injure him with just one coil.

What Bai Mao was thinking was completely unknown to Yin Huan. Seeing that he had already "taken the lead," Yin Huan quickly followed him, her snake body moving like an arrow.

A snake and a rat, like thieves, looked around furtively, dodging cats, dogs, and cars...

Having avoided all potential dangers, we finally arrived at the Penang Zoo before dawn.

Silver Ring's eyes gleamed as it looked at the tightly closed zoo gates; its snake body trembled with excitement.

Big brother, big brother, she finally caught a whiff of her brother's unique masculine scent.

Big brother, little sister is here!

"This is the zoo. Figure out how to get in yourself." A hint of schadenfreude flashed in the white-haired snake's eyes as it looked at the longing snake.

I've only ever heard of demons who want to escape from prison, never demons who look longingly like they want to go to prison.

This time, he really got to see something new.

Not only did that powerful snake demon inside refuse to leave, but it also... dragged its family along, leading them inside as well.

Do these two snakes even know what a zoo is?

This is a monster prison!

Inside are all vicious and wicked demons who, for various reasons, cannot be humanely destroyed.

Haha, this little snake demon only has a little over three hundred years of cultivation. If it goes in, it'll definitely be easy prey.

Even with that giant snake protecting him, he could not expect to live peacefully inside.

Thinking of this, Bai Mao felt a surge of relief.

He didn't give Silver Ring a chance to react. He glanced at the silly, obviously happy snake a few times, then leaped forward and disappeared in front of the zoo gate.

Now that his mission is complete, he needs to retrieve his demon core.

At the same time, inform Tong Xiu of the demon's plan to infiltrate the prison so that he can be prepared.

Silver Ring glanced in the direction where the white-haired creature had disappeared, shook its snake head, and didn't seem to care.

Let them go then. Anyway, she's already caught a whiff of her older brother's scent, so she doesn't need him to lead the way anymore.

Silver Ring turned its snake head and focused its gaze on the tall gate in front of the zoo.

She glanced at the dark iron gate, then slowly swam forward, preparing to climb over the obstacle in front of her and go inside to meet her older brother.

Silver Ring swam to the iron gate, its body pressed against the gate, and with a flick of its tail to the ground, it leaped onto the iron gate.

Don't ask a snake why it would climb a door... Silver Ring said she didn't know either.

Anyway, she just knows how to climb.

With good days of plenty to eat and drink just around the corner, Yin Huan climbed with extra effort, eager to get into the zoo and join his sworn brother.

Climb, climb!

Swim and swim!

Silver Ring: "......"

Something seems off?

Why hasn't she climbed to the top of the gate yet?

No, it's almost dawn, I need to hurry. If she's discovered after daybreak, she can forget about getting into the zoo.

Half an hour later...

Silver Ring lay on the iron gate, staring blankly at its round, green eyes.

Damn, just how tall is this door?

Yin Huan turned her head to see how high she had climbed. When she turned around, she was so shocked by how far she was from the ground that she fell off the door with a thud.
