Seeing their own ship surrounded by nothing but water and waves, and the bottom has a hole that might not be repairable, one unfortunate passenger lost his grip and fell out of the broken wooden window, just bobbed up twice and disappeared.

"If the Little Immortal doesn't come to save us, there's really no other way, we'll have to try the old method!" The boatman gritted his teeth and shouted, "Old Jiao, go to the cabin to find the virgin boy and girl!"

The other person was waiting for these words, and upon hearing them, he grasped the shaky gunwale and groped his way into the thoroughly drenched cabin.

There was some shelter, the sound of the wind and rain was slightly reduced, and Old Jiao rasped, "Everyone sees the situation, the Water God wants a virgin boy and girl.

The child who cries the most fiercely has been chosen by the Water God, hurry and send them over, so we can all survive; otherwise, the virgin children will still have to be given to the Water God, and all of us aboard who don't obey will be drowned!"

Originally, encountering a storm already had everyone scared of capsizing, and earlier someone accidentally fell overboard, leaving not even a body to be seen.

Passengers in the cabin were shivering cold and frightened, and upon hearing this, all turned their angry gaze to those with children, as if they dared to refuse, they and their children would be tossed together!

And naturally the passengers holding children were unwilling, as the ship shook violently, Old Jiao glanced around without selecting those from families with many men and well-armed, at crucial times, he had to pick the softest target.

Finally, he set his sights on a little girl crying in the corner and walked over directly.

"Why not throw them overboard quickly?"

"Do you want everyone to die together?"

"Hurry and throw them over, so we may survive!"

......

The child's mother of course was unwilling to let go, and a few beside seeing Old Jiao couldn't even overpower a woman in the wavering, rushed forward promptly to help hold her down; another strong man grabbed the girl's hair and dragged her over, "Throw her into the lake quickly, then we can survive!"

"Let go of my child! I beg you! Take me instead!" The woman being pressed onto the deck cried and pleaded, "I'm meatier, offering me to the water creature gives you a chance to live, spare my child..."

The strong man beside slapped her twice with the back of his hand, "Pah! If you can't speak, then don't just babble shit! That's clearly the Water God, if you anger the Water God, dragging everyone down, you won't die well! You'll be consigned to the Eighteen Layers of Hell, never to reincarnate!"

The ship creaked louder, even two planks were washed away, Old Jiao, anxious at this sight, grabbed the gunwale with one hand while hauling the crying little girl and forcefully throwing her into the water.

"Whoosh!"

Only a white light flashed before their eyes, the girl's crying abruptly ceased.

Old Jiao was puzzled, poked his head to look in the water but didn't see the little figure, wondering if the rain blurred his eyes? Just now something seemed to flash?

The next second, he saw the glowing thing again—it looked like cloth but wasn't cloth, nor was it pure white but was shining dazzlingly, it fluttered wider and longer in the wind, suddenly rushing to encompass the ship!

Circle after circle, as fast as lightning yet steady as Mount Tai, a few breaths later the wind and waves were still as fierce, but the ship wrapped up was perfectly stable, no longer breaking nor easily shaken.

Passengers in the cabin erupted in cheers, completely drowning out the grieving cries of the mother who lost her child.

"It's really alright! I told you should've thrown them earlier, wouldn't have lost so much cargo!"

"Thanks to this brave man helping, otherwise we would still be scared for a while."

"Truly harmful! If we had sent them to the Water God earlier, that guy earlier wouldn't have fallen off the ship!"

"How can you still cry? It's your damned offspring that nearly drowned us all, see now, threw her over and it's fine, right?"

......

On the now-stable bustling boat, He Miancun clenched his fist angrily and said coldly, "Miss Hu, you shouldn't have saved them, they deserve to drown!"
