She Rebuilt Her Fallen Country With Storage Space-Chapter 16 - Xiang Ying, How Dare You Use Me

In the darkness of night, although Huang Huzi wore a smile on his face, the slight squint of his eyes made his expression look sinister and terrifying.

"Princess, this is not an antidote, but sugar, right?" His laughter emerges, dark and cold.

Xiang Ying remained unflustered, with a cool smile on her red lips: "Have you never tasted sugar? You can't tell the difference between sugar and medicine?"

Huang Huzi's eyes abruptly changed.

He fiercely threw the sugar to the ground, cursing a filthy swear word: "You're evading the question! Are you fucking trying to deceive me?"

In the Dark Forest nearby, someone quietly extended a blow dart.

The Poison Needle inside, glinting coldly, aimed at the back of Xiang Ying's neck.

Huang Huzi cursed in a low voice: "I see, there's no such thing as poison. You dare to fool me?"

In Xiang Ying's phoenix eyes, her expression remained calm.

"The so-called poison is merely an opportunity I was willing to give you to live, to provide you a way out."

"But now I've changed my mind, you're not so obedient and compliant; you might as well be dead."

Huang Huzi was extremely arrogant, spreading his arms: "You want to kill me? Come on! Make your move, I'm a team leader. If I die, the Military Supervisors will demand ten people from Xizhou to be buried with me!"

Suddenly.

In the forest, someone activated the hidden weapon. A silver needle directly pierced into the back of Xiang Ying's neck.

Xiang Ying only felt a slight Sting; she then frowned and removed the silver needle.

Huang Huzi's derisive low chuckle began, his eyes filled with viciousness.

"This is coated with an aphrodisiac that can leave one lucid but unable to move their limbs."

"Princess, you're so arrogant, aren't you? Strong in combat, aren't you? In a moment, I will make you watch helplessly as we play you to death!"

As he spoke, several soldiers hidden in the forest had already approached and surrounded Xiang Ying.

Xiang Ying stumbled and fell to the ground.

The Wooden Shell Jade with the hue of Emperor Green tucked in her sleeve fell out.

Xiang Ying hurriedly tried to retrieve it, but Huang Huzi was quicker, snatching the Jade in his hand.

Xiang Ying, gasping unsteadily: "That's mine... Give it back to me!"

Huang Huzi narrowed his eyes: "Yours? I found it, so now it's mine! It's said that the dog emperor of Xizhou, before his escape, entrusted the Imperial Jade Seal to you. Could it be that this piece of Jade is related to the Jade Seal?"

After speaking, Huang Huzi gestured with a wave of his hand, signaling the soldiers: "Strip her!"

He had long wanted to taste the flavor of this stunning beauty.

Just as the soldiers were about to proceed, flames suddenly erupted in the forest.

Huang Huzi turned back, on alert: "Who is it!"

With just one glance, he was shocked to see Jie Chen leading a patrol team of soldiers coming their way.

Huang Huzi quickly hid the Jade and respectfully greeted: "Military Supervisor Jie."

Jie Chen's hand rested on the hilt of his sword, his gaze lowered briefly to Xiang Ying on the ground.

Her long hair was scattered, and the moonlight illuminated her snow-white and exquisite face with a subtle coolness.

Her dark phoenix eyes glared unfriendly and cautious at them.

Jie Chen withdrew his gaze, staring at Huang Huzi: "What are you doing here so late?"

Huang Huzi bowed, giving his explanation: "This Princess of Xizhou dared to be disrespectful towards you, blithely talking nonsense, and also rallied other Exiled Women in an attempt to escape. For this, I was just about to teach her a severe lesson."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiang Ying, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly stood up with a burst of energy.

She yanked down Huang Huzi's sleeve and pulled out the Emperor Green Jade he had just snatched.

"She lies to you, he took this thing and didn't want to hand it over to you!"

Huang Huzi turned pale with fright.

This Xiang Ying, she wasn't affected by the aphrodisiac? Impossible! She was clearly struck by the silver needle.

Watching the frosty-eyed Jie Chen approaching, Huang Huzi's lips trembled as he explained, "Military Supervisor, don't, don't listen to this woman's nonsense! I intended to inspect it before handing it over."

Jie Chen took the Emperor Green from Xiang Ying's hand and pushed with his slender fingertips. The wooden shell covering it was twisted open.

Under the moonlight, the green glow shimmered faintly.

Jie Chen's gaze instantly turned extremely cold.

"You dare to conceal it?" He looked at Huang Huzi.

"No, no, not at all, I wouldn't dare!"

Even though Huang Huzi kept shaking his head, Jie Chen still took action. Grabbing Huang Huzi by the collar, he dragged him towards the area where everyone else was encamped.

Huang Huzi's screams of agony woke the resting Exiled Criminals, who curled up together in fear, watching Huang Huzi being stepped on underfoot.

Jie Chen held up the Emperor Green and said in a chilly tone, "Let everyone hear this clearly: Military law states foremost, if something that resembles the Jade Seal is found, it cannot be kept private. It must be handed over, and violators will be dealt with severely according to military discipline."

Having said that, he directly severed Huang Huzi's hands.

At that instant, blood sprayed out, and Tao Xue quickly covered the eyes of the three children.

Not only were the Exiled Criminals who were being escorted frightened into screaming, but even the soldiers who had been called over to receive instruction jumped at the brow from shock.

Yet Xiang Ying just watched from the side, her stunning face expressing calm.

As if this was an outcome she had anticipated all along.

Huang Huzi's screams pierced through the wilderness, hands bleeding uncontrollably, his face swelling red and bulging veins visible as he writhed in pain.

But even so, he still begged Jie Jianjun for mercy.

"Military Supervisor Jie, I was wrong, please spare my life!"

The other two Military Supervisors also came over, whispering something to Jie Chen.

Jie Chen responded coldly, "Drag him away, let the Military Doctor bandage him."

Huang Huzi was taken away by the soldiers.

Tao Xue looked at the jade in Jie Chen's hand with curiosity.

"Isn't that the Princess's item?"

Jie Chen swept a cold glance at Xiang Ying and then left with his men.

Xiang Ying returned to her children. Tao Xue hurriedly asked, "Elder Princess, where have you been? How did your belongings end up in the hands of the Military Supervisor?"

Xiang Ying gathered her black hair, "Huang Huzi tried to steal my belongings, of course, I had to report it to the Military Supervisor."

Xiang Yuanshuo's little face showed a skeptical expression.

"Would the Military Supervisor bother with such trivial matters?"

"Of course," Xiang Ying touched his little face, smiling warmly, "If it's something he cares about, he'll take care of it."

Xiang Xiuxiu blinked her large eyes, pondering, "Something he cares about? Mother, does he care about you? Why else would he get involved when Huang Huzi steals our things?"

Yuanxiao corrected: "Silly girl, she's not an object, the Military Supervisor cares about the Jade Seal!"

"Oh..." Xiang Xiuxiu seemed to understand, yet not quite.

At that moment.

A soldier came up, speaking brusquely, "Exiled Criminal Xiang Ying, Military Supervisor Jie is looking for you."

Tao Xue immediately showed a worried expression, while Xiang Ying patted her shoulder and followed the soldier away.

The Military Supervisors were resting inside the cave, but Jie Chen chose to meet Xiang Ying outside the cave, where there were fewer people.

As soon as she arrived, Jie Chen tossed something back at her.

Xiang Ying caught it with her hand, it was the Wooden Shell Jade that had just been picked up.

"This is not something from the Jade Seal, it's not even jade," Jie Chen's tone was icy, "Xiang Ying, do you dare to use me?"

The wooden shell was ajar, the lighting here was clear, and it was evident that the wooden shell was wrapping a green gemstone, not the Emperor Green.

Only, on the narrow path just before, the light was dim, making it easy for one to be unable to tell the difference.
