I worked myself to the bone to become a saint, and survived on a deserted island with a stunning pri

"Hiss~"

"You silly woman, you bit my tongue!"

Chu Nan lay on the ground, screaming in agony, struggling but unable to break free.

His tongue was being tightly bitten by his silver teeth, and the pain almost brought tears to his eyes.

Five days ago, when he opened his eyes, he was lying on the beach with this cold and beautiful woman in ancient costume lying on top of him.

This woman is Princess Ji Menghan of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and she is of noble status.

Chu Nan's identity after transmigrating is that of an illegitimate son of the Marquis of Pingnan.

The Great Zhou Dynasty made extremely thorough preparations for this mission to the Gua Kingdom, located east of the sea.

Not only was the emperor's most beloved princess chosen as his representative, but even the Grand Secretary Zhao Wanzhi sent his son Zhao Xingyu to accompany him.

There were more than thirty other young masters and ladies from other prominent families.

This included Chu Nan and his elder brother Chu Sheng.

This lavish lineup was originally intended to showcase the grandeur of the Celestial Empire, but it was tragically cut short by a maritime disaster.

Over these five days, Chu Nan was somewhat surprised.

The reason was that Ji Menghan initially treated him arrogantly, making him find fresh water and catch fish for her.

At first, he gave her some fresh water and food because he thought she was a weak woman.

Unexpectedly, Ji Menghan became increasingly outrageous, trying to boss him around.

As a modern man, Chu Nan dared to swear to even his boss, so naturally he wouldn't take a princess seriously.

So the day before yesterday, Chu Nan directly cut off Ji Menghan's food supply.

Left with no other choice, Ji Menghan had to find food for herself.

Water is relatively easy to find; there are some coconut trees on the deserted island, which can be obtained with some effort. However, catching fish in the sea is much more difficult.

Ji Menghan almost drowned on her third attempt to enter the sea.

If it weren't for me, this woman would be dead already!

"Let go..." Chu Nan's tongue was being bitten, and his face was contorted in pain.

"Eek..."

Ji Menghan gave a soft hum, then felt as if there was something edible in her mouth and subconsciously took a bite.

"Aww!!!"

A scream came from Chu Nan's mouth. Taking advantage of the opportunity, he quickly pulled it out, covering his mouth with one hand, almost crying from the pain.

"I'm so annoyed..." Chu Nan looked at Ji Menghan.

Opening her beautiful eyes, Ji Menghan finally saw that Chu Nan's hand was pressing against her body...

Snapped!

"You lecher!" Ji Menghan slapped him and then quickly sat up, hugging her legs and burying her head between them.

However, one could vaguely see a rosy blush spreading from her ears to her snow-white neck.

"Hiss..." Chu Nan hissed, "Look at the way you bit my tongue, it's bleeding..."

Ji Menghan slowly raised her head, her pretty face flushed, and glared at him with a hint of embarrassment and annoyance: "Isn't it because you made inappropriate advances on me!"

"I'm giving you CPR!"

"Hmph! I've never heard of artificial respiration, shameless!" Ji Menghan was extremely embarrassed, and her whole body was burning up.

"She's clearly trying to take advantage of me!"

Chu Nan rolled his eyes: "I think eating is more important."

"You..." Ji Menghan was both ashamed and angry. Could it be that he had been taken advantage of?

"Alright, you go crack the coconuts, I'll go pry some oysters for dinner." Chu Nan stood up, reached into Ji Menghan's waist, pulled out a small, exquisite dagger, and walked towards the beach.

"You scoundrel!" Ji Menghan spat, then got up and walked towards a shack with a few coconuts piled up not far away.

Before long, a fire was lit in front of the shack.

This spark was preserved by Chu Nan with tremendous effort.

Several oysters, their shells ripped open, sizzled on the charcoal fire.

In front of each of them was a coconut, with thin reed tubes inserted into the irregular holes on it.

"Good harvest today. There are plenty of oysters here, enough to last us for ten days to half a month." Chu Nan added two pieces of dry firewood to the fire.

Ji Menghan sat with her legs drawn up, less than fifty centimeters away from Chu Nan, her expression a mixture of exhaustion and worry.

"Chu Nan, what if Zhao Xingyu and his gang find us?"

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Chu Nan's eyes.

Yesterday, when they went inside to look for fresh water, they saw Zhao Xingyu, his elder brother Chu Sheng, and several other scions of prominent families gathered together in the distance.

These bastards took turns abusing a young maid.

The sounds that made her blush made Ji Menghan so embarrassed that she could hardly lift her head.

After Zhao Xingyu and the others left, when Chu Nan went over, he discovered that the little maid was already dead.

After quickly burying the poor little maid, Chu Nan and Ji Menghan left in a hurry.

If Zhao Xingyu and his group find out, Ji Menghan will definitely not escape their clutches.

"After exploring these past few days, we've determined that this deserted island is quite large, and they won't be coming back anytime soon," Chu Nan said in a deep voice.

"Hmm..." Ji Menghan seemed a little scared and moved closer to Chu Nan.

Her arm almost touched Chu Nan's arm.

Chu Nan poked at the fire and buried the wood that hadn't completely burned so that it could burn and generate heat for a longer time.

"Chu Nan, do you... do you think we can go back?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Nan paused in his movements.

After a long silence, he shook his head: "I don't know."

Ji Menghan turned her head, her beautiful, watery eyes fixed on Chu Nan, scrutinizing him carefully.

She had grown up in the inner palace since childhood and had never lived with any man for such a long time before.

Even when those sons of officials saw him, they were only outwardly respectful, but their eyes held a deep desire.

They either want to gain power through themselves, or they are indulging in their own bodies.

But Chu Nan is different.

He wouldn't fawn over me like those people, nor would he look at me with any lewdness.

He's playful and witty, yet kind-hearted.

Even though he had always been so high and mighty, he had never done anything too outrageous to me.

"Chu Nan...if..."

Chu Nan turned his head and looked at her.

"If I can't leave in this lifetime, I think..."

"What are you thinking about?" Chu Nan couldn't help but ask when he saw Ji Menghan stammering.

"I don't want to have any regrets..." Ji Menghan's face was flushed, whether from the heat of the flames or from shyness, it was hard to tell.

Chu Nan paused for a moment, then coughed lightly, "Well, I'm a little sleepy, going to sleep..."

As he spoke, Chu Nan took a few steps back, lay down in the makeshift shack, and slowly closed his eyes.

"Is it because of Chen Ting?" Ji Menghan pressed.

Chu Nan slightly opened his eyes. Chen Ting was the second daughter of the Vice Minister of Rites, and the original owner of this body was her sycophant.

The reason I followed them this time was because Chen Ting came, and the original owner shamelessly followed along.

Chu Nan didn't have a good impression of Chen Ting.

"No!" Chu Nan closed his eyes again.

"What a blockhead!" Ji Menghan angrily grabbed a handful of sand and threw it at him, her pretty face flushed.

Chu Nan was indeed quite tired. He had been busy all day, rescuing people in the sea and even getting his tongue bitten. He closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Nan suddenly frowned.

I suddenly opened my eyes, and a burning sensation surged through my body.

It felt as if I was inside a furnace, being burned by intense fire.

boom!

Chu Nan slammed his fist into the ground, gritting his teeth. The intense burning pain caused large beads of sweat to appear on his forehead!

This isn't the first time!

Three days ago, he had experienced a similar episode and fainted.

After his investigation, he concluded that he had been poisoned.

The excruciating pain, as if his entire body were on fire, drove him almost insane.

"Chu Nan! Chu Nan, what's wrong with you!" Ji Menghan was startled and rushed forward.

"Go! Get away!" Chu Nan gritted his teeth and growled, the intense pain giving him an indescribable urge.

Ji Menghan looked at Chu Nan, a hint of understanding in her beautiful eyes.

"Are you poisoned...?"

"I heard that such a response requires..."

A shy blush rose on Ji Menghan's pretty face.

"No..." Chu Nan struggled desperately, the pain and burning sensation intertwined, causing his consciousness to gradually blur.

Her white gauze dress slowly slid down, revealing her exquisitely sculpted shoulders, her skin as smooth as jade, and her breath as fragrant as orchids.

She leaned down and pressed her body completely against Chu Nan's chest.

"Chun Nan... Chu Nan..."

The sun was high in the sky, and Chu Nan felt very comfortable in the sunshine.

Yesterday's fatigue seemed to have vanished, and I was filled with a powerful energy.
