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

"You twisted your ankle?" Chu Nan was taken aback.

He then stared at Xu Ling'er. Her complexion was slightly worse, clearly indicating that the long journey had taken a toll on her physical strength and energy.

"I'll carry you on my back," Chu Nan said.

Although Xu Ling'er was a lady-in-waiting in the palace, she was still considered a pampered young lady.

Normally, they rarely leave the house, and even Ling Hanxue's feet are covered in blisters, let alone Xu Ling'er.

Xu Ling'er's pretty face flushed slightly: "This...this isn't appropriate, is it?"

"It's not a bad thing, the most important thing now is to survive." Without waiting for a reply, Chu Nan turned around and squatted down on the ground.

Xu Ling'er's pretty face flushed with shyness. After hesitating for a moment, she still climbed onto Chu Nan's back.

Chu Nan stood up and could even feel Xu Ling'er's heartbeat.

Taking a deep breath, Chu Nan walked forward.

Xu Ling'er lay on Chu Nan's back, feeling a little dizzy.

This was the first time in her life that she had been in such close contact with a man.

Even in the palace, she had no contact with men at all.

Apart from the occasional emperor, the rest were mostly eunuchs or palace maids.

At that moment, she could feel her heart pounding like a deer, and she felt somewhat confused and disoriented.

"Chu...Chu Nan..." Xu Ling'er said softly, her voice trembling slightly.

Chu Nan subconsciously turned around.

His ear made intimate contact with Xu Ling'er's lips.

Swish!

Xu Ling'er's neck turned red, even redder than before.

"Ahem... What do you want to say?" Chu Nan turned his head and asked.

Xu Ling'er bit her lip lightly: "I heard you like that Chen Ting, how come now..."

Upon hearing this, Chu Nan chuckled: "That was because I was ignorant before. Now I see what kind of person Chen Ting is."

Xu Ling'er nodded: "It's good that you can see it clearly. Chen Ting is a scheming woman."

"What do you mean by that?" Chu Nan asked.

Xu Ling'er leaned against Chu Nan's back and whispered, "There have been rumors in the capital that Chen Ting has some connection with your elder brother Chu Sheng..."

"I know that." Chu Nan nodded. He wasn't like the original owner of this body, who was obsessed with romance. Although he could easily analyze the result.

Xu Ling'er continued, "However, you are born out of wedlock, so you can't compete with your elder brother."

"Chu Sheng is a rather treacherous person; I once heard His Majesty comment on him."

"Oh? What did the emperor say?" Chu Nan immediately became interested.

Although he had never met the emperor of the Great Zhou, he had long heard of him.

More than a decade ago, when the emperor was still a prince, he used ruthless methods to kill his elder brother and younger brother at the palace gate, and then forced the old emperor to abdicate.

Moreover, his methods were extremely forceful. In just five years, he eliminated internal troubles and completely took control of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Chu Nan was very curious to know how such a person would evaluate the original owner of this body.

Xu Ling'er lowered her voice slightly: "His Majesty once said that the two sons of the Chu family are not fit for important tasks..."

Chu Nan immediately smiled: "Not bad, the evaluation is quite fair."

"Aren't you sad?" Xu Ling'er asked in surprise.

Chu Nan smiled and said, "What's there to be sad about? I really did perform poorly before, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that I was useless. But Chu Sheng, on the surface, is still somewhat usable."

Xu Ling'er quickly shook her head: "His Majesty said that Chu Sheng is treacherous and cunning. If he had some wisdom, he would be a talented person, but unfortunately he is too stupid."

"His Majesty said that your father is the most capable person in the Chu family."

Hearing Xu Ling'er's words, Chu Nan couldn't help but nod.

Anyone who can gain some status in the capital must have their own abilities.

"What about the others? Did the emperor say anything?" Chu Nan pressed.

Xu Ling'er shook her head repeatedly: "I can't say anymore. I only heard these things by chance. If I say them again, it will be taboo."

"Alright, then I won't ask anymore." Chu Nan didn't ask any more questions. Since Xu Ling'er didn't want to talk about it, there was no point in asking.

Although he was carrying Chu Ling'er, Chu Nan's stamina was still perfectly fine. The tenfold enhancement of his physical abilities made Chu Nan's recovery ability far surpass that of ordinary people.

I drove around the sixth district for almost an hour, but didn't see anyone else.

"Chu Nan, I think the remaining person might be hiding, because he saw others being killed and also discovered us," Xu Ling'er analyzed.

Chu Nan nodded: "That's possible, but we still need to look for him. As long as we take him down, Zhao Xingyu won't know what happened to him."

Chu Nan's plan was sound. As long as they eliminated this person, Zhao Xingyu would definitely not give up and would continue searching for them.

If I wait another day or two, I can turn the tables and wipe out Zhao Xingyu and his entire gang.

"Chu Nan, I...I need to use the restroom..." Xu Ling'er said in Chu Nan's ear, her face flushed.

Chu Nan felt a warm, fragrant breeze caress his ears, making them slightly itchy.

"Okay, then you can relieve yourself here." Chu Nan looked around and, finding the place alright, put Xu Ling'er down.

"I... my feet hurt, I can't squat down..." Xu Ling'er's face was completely red.

Upon hearing this, Chu Nan couldn't help but scratch his head.

In this feudal era where the separation between men and women was more stringent than a flood prevention measure, how could Xu Ling'er possibly relieve herself near him?

"Uh... how about this, I'll make you a simple toilet out of stones," Chu Nan said after thinking for a moment.

"Alright, then I'll trouble you." Xu Ling'er lowered her head, not daring to look at Chu Nan.

Chu Nan looked around and found a few slightly larger stones, then moved them all over.

Then they stacked the stones together to form the shape of a toilet.

"Okay, you're free now! I'll stand a little further away. Call me when you're done," Chu Nan said, then walked about thirty meters ahead before stopping.

Seeing that Chu Nan was standing far away, Xu Ling'er sat down with a blush on her face.

She was so embarrassed that she couldn't help but feel ashamed that she needed Chu Nan's help with such a private matter.

However, since we're currently on a deserted island, many rules aren't that important.

Little did she know that after Chu Nan's body was enhanced tenfold, both his hearing and vision far surpassed those of ordinary people.

Three full minutes passed before Chu Nan heard Xu Ling'er calling his name.

Chu Nan walked over and saw Xu Ling'er stand up, leaning against a tree, about two or three meters away from the stone toilet.

Clearly, this is because she doesn't want to smell the odor.

Chu Nan grinned, preparing to carry Xu Ling'er on his back again.

Just then, Chu Nan's eyes suddenly flashed.

"Don't move!"

"Huh? What's wrong?" Xu Ling'er was taken aback.

Before she could hear a reply, Xu Ling'er saw Chu Nan's figure and suddenly rushed towards the stone toilet from before.

"What are you doing!" Xu Ling'er exclaimed, her face burning red.

Chu Nan stepped directly onto the stone toilet, leaped high into the air, and then kicked hard into the bushes beside him.

boom!
