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

"What the hell?" Chu Nan picked at his ear.

Chen Ting, her face contorted with anger, pointed a finger at Chu Nan: "Are you determined to remain obstinate? Do you think you can survive on your own?"

"Just kneel down and apologize to Brother Sheng honestly; he's not going to kill you!"

"Why can't you understand Sheng-ge's good intentions! He's your blood brother!"

Chu Nan was immediately amused by this stupid woman: "Don't you want to listen to what you're saying?"

"Have you gotten used to being someone's dog?"

"You...you called me a dog!" Chen Ting's chest heaved with anger. "Sheng-ge was doing this for your own good, and you say something like that? Do you have any conscience at all?!"

"Damn it!" Chu Nan didn't even feel angry anymore.

This woman wasn't bad, she was just stupid!

"If I'm not mistaken, you should have already hooked up with Chu Sheng, right?" Chu Nan blurted out, sneering.

The original owner was obsessed with love, but Chu Nan was not. He analyzed the situation in just a few words.

Chen Ting has probably been hooking up with Chu Sheng for a long time. Her not rejecting Chu Nan was just a way to keep him hooked!

"Chu Nan, you're only just realizing this now!" Chu Sheng sneered. "Don't you even know your place? You think you can get your hands on a swan?"

As he spoke, Chu Sheng reached out and beckoned Chen Ting to his arms.

"Brother Sheng... Chu Nan is too ungrateful; he deserves to be taught a lesson."

"Lord Chu has such a illustrious reputation, how could he have such a good-for-nothing son?" Chen Ting glanced at Chu Nan, her face full of disdain.

Chu Sheng snorted: "Him? He's just a bastard child that my father had when he was drunk and slept with a maid who did the laundry."

"It's all because my father is kind-hearted and gave him a proper status; otherwise, he would have been beaten to death like his lowly mother!"

Hearing Chu Sheng's words, Ji Menghan retorted indignantly, "What right do you have to talk about Chu Nan!"

"In my eyes, you are nothing but lowly servants!"

Chu Nan chuckled; those words were quite inspiring!

"Chu Sheng, look what's that?" Chu Nan pointed behind Chu Sheng.

Chu Sheng subconsciously turned his head.

Chu Nan's figure moved the instant he uttered the last word!

The physical enhancement effect brought by the [Bedtime] skill made him completely unafraid of Chu Sheng, who was wielding a knife.

With a single push-off from the ground, he charged towards Chu Sheng like a cannonball.

boom!

A powerful kick landed squarely on Chu Sheng's chest.

boom!

Chu Sheng let out a muffled groan and flew backward, crashing heavily to the ground.

Chu Nan coldly looked at Chen Ting, who was standing there dumbfounded.

"I'll send you on your way..." Chu Nan said, picking up the long sword from the ground.

Just then, several torches suddenly lit up in the distance, accompanied by a cold voice: "Chu Nan! Leave the princess here, or I'll make you wish you were dead!"

"Zhao Xingyu!" Chu Nan's eyes flashed with a cold light.

However, this is not the time to confront Zhao Xingyu.

He could handle two or three people without any problem, but Zhao Xingyu had at least seven people on his side. Even if he could barely hold them off, Ji Menghan next to him couldn't.

"Walk!"

Having given up the chance to kill Chen Ting, Chu Nan grabbed Ji Menghan's hand and ran frantically into the distance.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the dense forest.

Within a few breaths, Zhao Xingyu and the others arrived here with torches in hand.

"He got away?" Zhao Xingyu's gaze turned icy. "Chu Sheng, what's wrong with you?"

"Brother Zhao, I... this bastard is a little different from before..." Chu Sheng clutched his chest as he was helped up, sweat beading on his forehead from the pain.

"Useless! All of you are useless!" Zhao Xingyu went berserk.

"I'm furious right now!"

Zhao Xingyu's eyes were bloodshot and red. He turned to look at Chen Ting, who was standing trembling to the side, and suddenly grinned maliciously.

He reached out and grabbed Chen Ting's arm, pulling her into his embrace. With a sudden tug, large sections of her clothes were torn to shreds.

Under Chen Ting's ashamed and indignant gaze, he wantonly kneaded and pinched her hair, then grabbed her hair and pressed it down!

"Chase after them! We need to find them alive or dead!" Zhao Xingyu roared.

"Yes!" The others looked at Zhao Xingyu with some fear, then raised their torches and chased after Chu Nan in the direction he had fled.

……

Chu Nan and Ji Menghan barely rested throughout the entire night.

I don't know how far I've walked, and I can't tell which way to go in the dense forest. I can only make sure I'm going the right way by looking at the moon.

Just then, the sky suddenly darkened.

Chu Nan quickly stopped in his tracks. This was the darkness before dawn, the darkest moment of the day.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the sky gradually began to brighten.

"Chu Nan, we can't let them keep chasing us like this. We need help!" Ji Menghan said wearily.

Chu Nan nodded: "That's right, those scions of aristocratic families are the least trustworthy; they might all be Zhao Xingyu's accomplices."

"The only people we can subdue are the boatmen, sailors, and some women..."

"These beasts will never let go of a woman with good looks."

Ji Menghan wholeheartedly agreed: "So next, we need to find helpers until we are completely unafraid of Zhao Xingyu!"

"Let's go, there seems to be a rather secluded place ahead," Chu Nan pointed ahead.

Ji Menghan looked up and, sure enough, saw a narrow crevice appear in the mountain in front of her.

This crevice is a natural hiding place.

"Chu Nan, be careful. If there are people inside, you'd better subdue them immediately."

After what happened yesterday, Ji Menghan was still a little scared.

Don't worry.

Chu Nan, carrying his knife, slowly approached the crevice in the mountain.

It was pitch black inside the crevice, and you couldn't see anything.

Just then, Chu Nan suddenly stopped in his tracks!

There were some messy footprints under his feet!

The footprints were small and looked like a woman's feet, about size 36.

"There's a woman inside!" Chu Nan's eyes flickered, and he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

At least I didn't see any men's footprints here, so if they were women's, the threat would be relatively smaller.

Slowly approaching the crevice, Chu Nan held his long sword, remaining vigilant.

As they slowly approached the depths of the crevice, a ragged figure suddenly came into view from a corner.

"Hmm? Asleep?" Chu Nan frowned and slowly approached.

This was a young girl wearing a light green gauze dress, her clothes disheveled and torn, her chest rising and falling slightly.

"Xiao He!" Ji Menghan exclaimed.

At Ji Menghan's exclamation, the girl opened her eyes, paused for a moment, and then let out a sharp scream!

"Princess...Princess!" Xiaohe's lips trembled as she tried to get up, but she was too weak to stand.

"Xiaohe! You're alive! That's wonderful! You're alive!" Ji Menghan stepped forward, hugged Xiaohe tightly, and burst into tears.

Xiaohe was her personal maid, who had been with her for nearly ten years. Although they were mistress and servant, they had a sisterly relationship.

Upon seeing Xiaohe, Ji Menghan could no longer contain her emotions and burst into tears while hugging Xiaohe.

Chu Nan breathed a sigh of relief.

Since she is Ji Menghan's personal maid, there shouldn't be any danger.

Without disturbing them, Chu Nan stepped out of the crevice and began to observe carefully from the outside.
