Indeed, there is! It’s Tianmiao!
The captain drank the steaming fragrant tea, feeling utterly lightheaded. This, this is just too lavish.
"Where do you want to go? I can take you there," Tianmiao put down her teacup and looked at Qu Fengbai and the others.
Qu Fengbai was stunned momentarily, his face turning bitter: "The Divine Dragon Fortress is destroyed. I don’t know where to go."
"Then, come back to our fortress with me," Zhou Chaoyang invited Qu Fengbai. In fact, Zhou Chaoyang had the authority to make this decision because she was the daughter of the leader of the Twin Fortresses. What she didn’t know was that once Qu Fengbai demonstrated his value, any fortress would do anything to win him over and unconditionally accept those from his fortress.
Qu Fengbai glanced at Tianmiao, actually wanting to ask if Tianmiao could take him and those from the Divine Dragon Fortress in. But Tianmiao didn’t seem to have this intention.
Seeing Qu Fengbai’s hesitation, Tianmiao slowly spoke, "I cannot take you in. Because on this ship, humans cannot stay for long."
These words made everyone present freeze.
What did that mean?
Humans cannot stay for long?
Tianmiao’s words seemed to imply she wasn’t human?
"I can take you to your destination. Then, you all must disembark," Tianmiao stood up. "For the next few days, you can tour the ship. The dining area is on the second level, and you’re staying on the third level."
"We need to go to the Twin Fortresses. The location is..." Zhou Chaoyang was just about to tell Tianmiao the position.
Tianmiao waved her hand, "I know where it is. You are all exhausted, so rest well in the coming days. You can enjoy the food here as much as you want, but you cannot take anything off the ship. To be precise, you cannot take anything from the ship."
"Understood. Thank you," Zhou Chaoyang bowed. Tianmiao had rescued them, provided accommodation and food, which was already the best gift one could hope for. How could they even think of taking something?
After giving these instructions, Tianmiao left.
Qu Fengbai said, "Thank you for saving me. I now want to first settle my mother and the others."
"I’ll go with you and see what I can do to help," Zhou Chaoyang stated.
"Thank you," Qu Fengbai thanked once more.
"Oh, no need to be so formal. Let’s go, let’s go," Zhou Chaoyang said with a smile.
...
In the following days, everything witnessed on this ship amazed Qu Fengbai and the others. The third level was the living quarters, with many rooms available for them to stay in, hot water for showers, and warm blankets for them to rest. The second level had the dining hall; all the meals were steaming hot, and it was a buffet where they could take as much as they wanted. Although the food was simple, it was far better than what they used to eat.
The most magical thing was that after they finished eating, the leftover food would automatically disappear. By the next meal, it would automatically reappear, freshly heated again.
What surprised everyone the most was that, apart from those rescued, there was no one else on the ship. Everything on the ship operated automatically. Who prepared the meals? Who was running the ship?
Divine...
This ship belongs to the divine.
Tianmiao is the divine.
It is a deity sent from the heavens to save them!
The divine has not abandoned them!
With a heart full of gratitude and immense reverence, these people stayed on the ship for several days.
Then Tianmiao delivered them to the vicinity of the Twin Fortresses.
One by one, small rescue boats were lowered as everyone orderly disembarked from the moving fortress, sitting in the small boats.
