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

Chu Nan hesitated for a moment, but did not act rashly. Instead, he continued to wait.

The man and woman. After returning here, several more Guatemalans dressed in animal skins appeared.

After a brief exchange among the Guaguo people, a man stepped forward and grabbed Xu Ling'er's arm.

"Bastards, let me go! I am a female official of the Great Zhou Dynasty, how dare you touch me?" Xu Ling'er roared.

But these Guaguo people seemed not to hear them. One of them cut the rope binding Xu Ling'er with a knife and tried to drag her into the thatched hut.

During the dragging process, the young man even tore Xu Ling'er's clothes.

"Nai Izut!" one of the youths said with a sinister look in his eyes.

Chu Nan understood the meaning of that word; it meant to kill her.

Thinking of this, Chu Nan no longer hesitated and pushed off hard with his feet.

His body shot forward like an arrow released from a bow.

When the man and woman saw Chu Nan rush out, they were about to make a move when Chu Nan stretched out his hands and chopped them both on the neck, instantly knocking them unconscious.

There were three other young men dressed in animal skins opposite him, but Chu Nan didn't take them seriously either. He punched each of them in the chest, knocking them unconscious.

"Baka!" The young man who dragged Xu Ling'er inside turned around and cursed, staring nervously at Chu Nan.

Xu Ling'er was taken aback when she saw Chu Nan. She had seen Chu Nan on the ship, but she didn't know his name.

"Help me!" Xu Ling'er shouted.

The remaining young men from Guatemala pulled out short knives from behind their backs and assumed a stance ready to attack.

Chu Nan sneered and beckoned to him with his finger.

"Kill the chicken!" the young man roared, rushing forward with a short knife in both hands.

Chu Nan slightly shifted his body to the side, barely dodging the short knife the young man was slashing at him. At the same time, he raised his right foot and kicked the young man in the chest.

The powerful force slammed into the youth, sending him flying several meters away.

boom!

The young man fell heavily to the ground, his fate unknown.

"Save me!" Xu Ling'er looked at Chu Nan, her face full of excitement.

Chu Nan stepped forward and untied the ropes binding Xu Ling'er, who immediately fell to the ground.

Chu Nan reacted quickly, grabbing her slender waist and managing to support her.

"Are you alright?" Chu Nan asked.

Xu Ling'er froze, then her pretty face suddenly turned red.

She struggled for a moment, managed to break free from Chu Nan's embrace, stood there with her head down, her face flushed.

"I...I'm fine, thank you," Xu Ling'er said softly.

"It's good that you're alright. How did you end up here?" Chu Nan asked.

At this moment, Xu Ling'er's complexion had improved considerably.

"After the accident that day, I was washed ashore here and have been surviving by the sea ever since, living off wild fruits I pick."

"A few days ago I saw a fire here, so I went in and fell into a trap, and then I was captured by these Guatemalans."

"Do you speak Mandarin?" Chu Nan asked.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ling'er nodded: "Yes, His Majesty sent me here to be Her Highness's translator."

"Great!" Chu Nan clapped his hands. This deserted island should be relatively close to Guatemala. With a translator, they could communicate with the Guatemalans.

"Didn't you tell them you were from the Great Zhou?"

"I told her, but it was no use." Xu Ling'er shook her head.

"These people all committed crimes in Guatemala and ended up here. They are afraid that if I am released, I will reveal their information and Guatemala will send people to arrest them."

"I see." Chu Nan nodded.

This explains why Miyamoto Musashi could speak Gua Mandarin and make his own bows and arrows; just as he had guessed, she was not a native of this place.

"How long have these people been on this deserted island?"

Xu Ling'er thought for a moment: "It should be about two years."

"That should be about right."

Chu Nan thought of the things he had seen left behind by Prime Minister Zhao Wanzhi in the stone chamber.

This means that Zhao Wanzhi arrived here before them.

"You are...you are that illegitimate son of the Chu family?" Xu Ling'er seemed to recognize Chu Nan.

"It's me." Chu Nan didn't try to hide it from her.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ling'er quickly asked, "Are you the only one still alive? Where is the princess? Where are Zhao Xingyu and the others?"

"The princess is with me, as is Ling Hanxue, along with three sailors from the ship and a Guaguoman I captured."

"That's wonderful! Her Highness the Princess is still alive! It's truly a blessing from Heaven for the Great Zhou!" Xu Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief.

"As for Zhao Xingyu and the others..."

"How are they?" Xu Ling'er asked Chu Nan in surprise.

"Zhao Xingyu intends to harm Her Highness the Princess."

"..."

Chu Nan briefly recounted how Zhao Xingyu and his group had harmed Ji Menghan, as well as what had happened around him recently, except for the item left behind by Zhao Wanzhi.

"Outrageous! Utterly outrageous! They're plotting a rebellion!" Xu Ling'er roared angrily. "I'm going back to report to His Majesty and have them punished!"

"Miss Xu..." Chu Nan began.

Xu Ling'er raised her hand to interrupt him: "I am a female official in the Imperial Ceremonial Bureau. Please call me Consort Xu."

"Alright, Ms. Xu, what are your plans next?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ling'er replied without hesitation, "Of course I'll go find the princess and protect Her Highness."

"You don't need to worry about protecting Her Highness, but I do need your abilities," Chu Nan said, looking at her.

"What ability? What do you want to do?" Xu Ling'er suddenly became wary.

Chu Nan rolled his eyes: "You think I'm like Zhao Xingyu and his gang of bastards?"

"These Guatemalans can all be captured and enslaved; you'll be my translator."

"Oh, okay, I agree." Xu Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief.

"But how are we going to get them back in their current state?" Xu Ling'er frowned.

"Don't worry, I have a way."

Amid Xu Ling'er's confusion, Chu Nan stepped forward and slapped each of them across the face.

These slaps jolted the five Guaguo people awake.

"Baka!" several Guaguo people cursed angrily.

Chu Nan, with his hands behind his back, said, "Xu Shangyi told them that from now on, they are my slaves and must obey my orders, or they will die."

Xu Ling'er nodded and immediately relayed Chu Nan's request.

Upon hearing Xu Ling'er's words, the five Guaguo people looked at Chu Nan, their eyes revealing a hint of fear.

A moment later, one of the Guaguo people looked at Xu Ling'er and said a few words.

Xu Ling'er then looked at Chu Nan: "They said they ran away because they were tired of being slaves in Gua Kingdom."

"Is that so?"

Chu Nan smiled coldly, then suddenly his figure blurred, and he grabbed the young man who had tried to defile Xu Ling'er.

Under the horrified gazes of the remaining four Guaguo people, he suddenly squeezed!
