This Western Emperor is indeed no good.
If she remembered correctly, this guy definitely had something to save his life.
"Do you still remember the way you came?" Han Luoxue looked at the man, who shook his head: "After I came out, I was chased too far by wild beasts, and I don't remember exactly how I got there. If I can get to that area, I'm sure I can remember it!"
Han Luoxue nodded. The Western Emperor was also dragged out, and Princess Yaoxiang was still begging for mercy: "Madam, my father definitely didn't do it on purpose!"
"Heh, whether it was intentional or not is not for you to decide!"
Han Luoxue sneered. The Western Emperor, who was inside the tent, had already overheard everything. When he saw himself being dragged out, his expression changed: "I didn't know about this! I really didn't know!"
"Then why would there be a treasure map outside?"
"I don't know either!"
The Western Emperor looked completely innocent. Seeing this, Zhou Jie became furious and stepped forward to slap her several times. The slaps landed on the Western Emperor's face, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.
"You know nothing, so why were you brought here?"
The men were stunned by Zhou Jie's fierce demeanor.
"I……"
"Madam, my father probably really doesn't know. We've never been to this place before!"
Princess Yaoxiang was quite certain of this!
"Western Emperor, are you sure you've never been here before?"
Han Luoxue sneered, her eyes fixed on the Western Emperor: "N-nothing!"
"Then what's the point of us bringing you here?"
Han Luoxue stepped forward and kicked Xihuang.
She was already strong, and this kick was even more powerful.
The Empress took several steps back and fell flat on her backside with a thud.
That really hurts!
"Aren't you going to tell the truth?" A pill suddenly appeared in Han Luoxue's hand. Before Xihuang could even react, the pill was already stuffed into his mouth.
The Western Emperor wanted to spit it out, but unfortunately the pill dissolved as soon as it entered his mouth.
"Oh..." The Western Emperor knew without a doubt that this pill was definitely not a good thing. He tried to lick his throat, but unfortunately, he couldn't get anything out.
"What did you give me to eat?!"
Knowing it was impossible to vomit the pills, the Western Emperor turned pale.
"Poison! If there is no antidote within three hours, you can expect to die from intestinal perforation and vomiting blood!"
The Western Emperor's expression changed; he did not doubt what Han Luoxue had said.
This woman is always cunning; if she says it exists, it must exist.
"I……"
"What Yaoxiang said is right. I did bring people here before. But the people I brought died inexplicably, and I couldn't get close. So, I don't know where the treasure is!"
"The Western Emperor said helplessly."
Hearing this, Zhou Jie was so angry she almost fainted.
She ran to the Western Emperor in a few steps, grabbed his clothes, and started slapping his face wildly.
The Western Emperor felt dizzy, but he was no match for this woman.
You really deserve to die!
"You knew this place was poisonous, yet you brought all of us here. You wanted to poison us all and then escape, right?"
"I knew you were no good, you wicked old man! How could you be so vicious? I'll beat you to death, you old bastard!"
Princess Yaoxiang watched from the sidelines, unable to bear it, but she also knew that she was no match for Zhou Jie.
What her father just did was really too much.
She wondered which part of her father's plan she was meant to be? Would she die alongside these people, or would he take her with him?
"I, I..." Xi Huang couldn't speak. Zhou Jie was so tired from hitting him that she finally stopped.
"Sister Xue'er, it's fortunate that we met this person."
Suddenly, Sister Zhou thought of something and turned to look at the man: "What's your name?"
The two have known each other for quite a while, but it seems she hasn't asked the other person's name yet.
"Li Xuan!" The man looked at Zhou Jie with a complicated expression, probably stunned by her fierce beating.
"Alright, Young Master Li! Are you going back or coming with us?"
Zhou Jie released Xi Huang, stood up, and tidied her hair behind her ear. Now that they had come this far, they certainly wouldn't leave empty-handed.
"Would it be convenient for me to come with you?"
Li Xuan's eyes turned to Han Luoxue. He had just noticed that the people here respected this woman.
“Sister Xue’er…” Zhou Yuan shook his head slightly at Han Luoxue. They had come here this time to obtain the treasure.
Once the treasure is discovered, Han Luoxue will definitely go in and retrieve it herself. Bringing someone along would be a bit inconvenient.
"This..." Han Luoxue was about to refuse when Li Xuan hurriedly said, "I have no interest in the treasure. When I brought my people here, it was only out of curiosity. Now that my men are all dead, I just want to see the treasure. Don't worry, I just want to broaden my horizons!"
After saying this, he looked at Zhou Jie and said, "Besides, Miss Zhou saved my life. I just wanted to come along and take a look!"
Zhou Jie hesitated a bit; this person was actually quite nice.
Back when the tiger was under the tree, he was able to jump down and lure the tiger away; such courage is not something an ordinary man possesses.
"Sister Xue'er, I don't think it's quite appropriate!" Zhou Yuan frowned, and Han Luoxue, seeing that there were quite a few people following, chuckled and said, "Why don't you come along?"
She looked at Zhou Jie, then at Li Xuan. Just moments ago, Zhou Jie had been winking and giving her meaningful glances.
However, she didn't know the man's identity. She just noticed that Zhou Jie treated him a little differently. If the man's identity was legitimate, she could let them give it a try!
Unexpectedly, this trip might have solved Zhou Jie's life-long marriage problem, so Han Luoxue felt it was worth keeping this person around for a while.
Besides, with so many people in their group, surely they can't even keep an eye on one man?
Zhou Yuan still disagreed somewhat, but didn't say much.
The Western Emperor was pushed back into that tent; this man cannot die yet.
Han Luoxue asked the man some specific details and also saw his treasure map.
"It seems we're really not far from that treasure, probably only a two-day journey away."
Thinking about the days ahead, Han Luoxue felt a bit overwhelmed.
The trip took too long, and I don't know how to explain it to the two little ones when we get back.
Especially her youngest daughter, who's such a spoiled brat, I wonder how she'll cling to her when they get back!
But she vowed that this was the last time, and that she would bring both of them with her when she came out again!
Back in his tent, Xihuang was so angry he almost ground his teeth to powder.
He was almost there, he knew he wasn't far from the destination, when suddenly a man appeared! That damned man, if it weren't for him, he'd probably be free tomorrow!
The Western Emperor wished he could strangle that man!
