When she said this, Yue Mei's heart was pounding.
She indeed had ulterior motives.
Bringing this human into the treasury was equivalent to leading him into the core area of the Charm Snake Tribe.
More than a dozen Dou Ling-level guards were stationed around the treasury year-round. With herself included, although they could not defeat him head-on, they could at least trap him.
