Lin Xuan looked around with a frown on his face.
Was he still alive?
But where was this place?
Lin Xuan had no communication tools on him. He could only drag his tired feet and walk on the island alone. He found a small mountain spring.
He scooped up some water with his hand and sent it to his mouth.
Tired and hungry, he didn't notice that a woman had appeared behind him, a beautiful and cold - looking woman. There was a strong killing intent in her beautiful eyes.
This was an isolated island.
Ordinary people wouldn't appear here. Unless, he was sent by his good second uncle...
The woman pressed the muzzle of the gun against Lin Xuan's temple.
"Who are you?" A voice as cold as an icy pool sounded from behind Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan had never come into contact with a gun before.
He had no idea what the thing on his forehead was.
He directly reached out his hand and pushed the gun away.
Su Hua's eyes flashed coldly. With a "bang", she pulled the trigger, and a bullet flew past Lin Xuan's cheek with a strong gust of wind.
A gun?!
Lin Xuan instantly understood. He didn't dare to move a muscle.
"Tell me, why are you here?" Su Hua repeated.
Lin Xuan's body tensed up.
This woman didn't recognize him, so she should not be the one sent by Lin Li to kill him.
Lin Xuan glanced at the gun in Su Hua's hand from the corner of his eye.
Even if she wasn't Lin Li's person, she wasn't any better.
Lin Xuan said nervously, "Miss, I was kidnapped. They said they were going to sell me to the Golden Triangle as a slave. I didn't want that, so I jumped into the sea from the boat. I passed out, and when I woke up, I was here."
"Miss, you can rest assured. I don't know you, and I have absolutely no malicious intentions towards you."
Previously, Lin Xuan had no will to survive because he was going to be sold to serve women. Now that he was saved and wouldn't be sold, naturally, he wanted to live again.
Su Hua sneered, "What a good excuse."
"However, even if I can't be sure whether you're one of them or not, I won't let you go."
She used to be an international top - notch killer.
The principle she adhered to was to kill by mistake rather than let someone go.
Now that she had returned to the Su Family, she still followed this way of dealing with things.
Su Hua's expression was cold as she prepared to pull the trigger.
Suddenly, a strong sense of dizziness hit her head, and she couldn't muster any strength in her hands. She slumped down softly, and the gun fell to the ground.
"Miss?" Lin Xuan caught Su Hua's body in time.
When he saw Su Hua's face, he was stunned for a moment.
He didn't expect her to be so beautiful.
Her face and lips were very pale, as if she didn't have much blood. Even so, it couldn't hide her peerless beauty.
Lin Xuan could clearly feel the softness of the woman through a layer of clothes.
Why was she so hot?
Lin Xuan frowned and reached out to touch Su Hua's forehead. The temperature indicated that she had a high fever of at least forty degrees.
Lin Xuan looked around.
There was a small mountain here. Maybe there would be some herbs.
Lin Xuan picked up Su Hua in his arms.
Su Hua was very beautiful. Lin Xuan was worried that there might be other men on the island, afraid that they would have improper thoughts about Su Hua.
So he found a very secluded place and laid her on the grass.
Lin Xuan touched Su Hua's forehead again.
She was still very hot.
He needed to find the medicine quickly.
He used to be an orphan and had always stayed in the orphanage. Because there wasn't much money, when they were sick, the dean often picked some herbs for them to eat. When the dean was picking herbs, Lin Xuan often followed him and helped him out.
Lin Xuan still recognized some herbs for treating fever.
It took Lin Xuan more than forty minutes to finally pick all the herbs.
He frowned.
No, there were no tools here. He had no way to boil these herbs for her to eat.
Lin Xuan went to the seaside to see if the sea had washed up any tools. He was really lucky to find a stainless - steel basin washed up by the sea. It was small and could only hold three bowls of water.
But that was enough.
Lin Xuan propped up two stones and put the basin filled with water and herbs on top of the stones.
He also picked up some dried leaves.
"Click"
Lin Xuan rubbed two stones hard. It took him fifteen minutes to finally light the leaves.
Then he picked up some branches and stuffed them between the two stones.
Lin Xuan let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the fire didn't go out.
The fire was still burning, and it would take at least an hour for the medicine to be boiled.
Looking at the woman lying on the grass with a red face,
Lin Xuan tore off a piece of his own clothes uneasily, dipped it in water, and wiped Su Hua's forehead again and again.
He tried to bring down her body temperature.
An hour later, the medicine was boiled.
After the medicine cooled down, Lin Xuan was going to feed it to Su Hua. However...
Lin Xuan looked at the woman and frowned.
"She's unconscious. She can't drink this medicine," Lin Xuan murmured to himself.
If she didn't drink the medicine, her high fever wouldn't go down, and she might be in danger of losing her life.
"Forget it. I can only do it this way,"
Lin Xuan gritted his teeth, drank some of the medicinal soup himself, then kissed the woman's red lips and passed the soup in his mouth to her.
After feeding the woman a whole bowl of the medicinal soup,
Lin Xuan also let out a sigh of relief.
This should be about enough.
Lin Xuan didn't notice that the woman opened her eyes slightly. She could see a blurred figure and clearly feel the touch on her lips.
Maybe... men weren't that repulsive...
Before Su Hua passed out again, such a thought popped up in her mind.
Lin Xuan simply ate a few fruits picked from the mountain. He looked at the sky. It should be about two or three hours before it got dark.
On the island, the wind should be strong and quite cold at night.
He had to find a wind - sheltered place to build a simple house before it got dark.
Lin Xuan did what he said. He found wooden sticks and branches and started building.
It only took him two and a half hours to build a place that could accommodate two people to sleep.
He also spread some dry leaves on the ground.
Lin Xuan carried Su Hua into the small house and let her lie inside. He himself sat alone on a big rock.
Looking at the other side of the sea,
He had been missing for two days. He wondered if they were looking for him.
Thinking of this, Lin Xuan shook his head self - deprecatingly.
It was impossible. They would never think of him. Before, he had been away from home for four days to work and earn living expenses, and they had never asked where he had gone. How could they think he was not at home this time?
Mom and Dad, and his sisters only had Lin Li in their eyes.
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh.

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.

At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules.
