"There are so many people on the ship, some good, some bad; we can't tell them apart in a short time," Hu Zhile said, comforting with a smile. "If the ship really is destroyed by the gigantic waves, who should we save and who shouldn't we save?

Don't be upset; let them survive first. Once we reach the shore, there will be plenty of time to settle accounts. We promise not to wrong a good person or let a bad one go. Besides..."

She glanced at the small girl who had fainted in her arms, her whole body soaked, and with a flick of her finger, used the Cleaning Technique. Instantly, the girl's body was dry and refreshed, making her appear even smaller, darker, and skinnier.

"Moreover, mortals are very fragile. If they're caught in the wind and rain and fall into the lake, they can catch colds. Without timely treatment, it's inevitable they'll suffer casualties."

Leng Yutang frowned slightly and added, "Mortals are fragile, and the things they make are even more fragile.

Look at this wooden ship. If we hadn't arrived in time, it would have been completely shattered in less than the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea. The gigantic waves are so far from the dock; I'm afraid none would survive."

Earlier, Yun Mo carried the three of them flying over East Lake, heading straight for East Lake Port. During the journey, he sensed that this wooden ship had lost its direction and control, tossed about dangerously by the wind and waves.

So, Yun Mo tilted his wings slightly, leaving the original route to save the people.

Just at this moment, the boatman, seeing the dire situation, ordered Old Jiao to throw the child overboard.

Fortunately, Hu Zhile and Yun Mo had been working together in Carefree City to slay Demon Beasts, and had developed a seamless cooperation, catching up just in time.

At the instant Old Jiao threw the little girl off the wooden ship, Hu Zhile's Colorful Ribbons rushed forward to catch the child in her arms. Then, using the Colorful Ribbons, she stabilized the ship that was about to fall apart, and with mana, dragged it against the wind and waves "towards" East Lake Port dock.

"What, what is this?" The boatman and workers outside the cabin looked at the glowing "white cloth" that bound the ship, utterly bewildered. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Then, lifting their heads, they saw a giant eagle they had never seen before, frightening them so much their legs shook. "What, what is that?"

Yun Mo had already gotten very close. A massive Ice-winged Eagle appeared suddenly in the pouring rain and gray sky, looking ever more enormous and oppressive.

Hu Zhile, holding the sleeping child, took a few steps forward to let the people on the ship see her, speaking in a deep voice, "Don't be afraid. You can go back into the cabin to shelter from the rain. We will guide the ship to East Lake Port dock."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yun Mo lowered himself slightly, perfectly shielding the ship.

Then, the wind stopped suddenly, and the rain no longer fell on the ship. Even though the wind and waves were roaring, that gentle and pleasant voice clearly fell on everyone's ears aboard the ship.

"It's... it's the Little Immortal!" the boatman was stunned for a moment, then reacted, kneeling with a thud to give thanks. "Everyone, quickly kneel; it's the Little Immortal who sent an Immortal maiden to save us!"

A new legend circulated around East Lake Port — the newly worshipped Little Immortal had two significant generals under them.

One was the Divine Eagle that could carry hundreds of people into flight, able to transform into a strong man; the other was the Divine Fox, who could transform into a beauty as lovely as a Celestial Immortal.

These two were precisely the main forces dispatched by the Little Immortal during East Lake Port's flood disaster, returning the displaced people to their homeland.

The legend said they could travel a thousand miles by day and eight hundred by night, wielding tremendous Divine Power, even capable of moving mountains!

The boatman wasn't a resident of East Lake Port, but on his journeys transporting goods, he'd heard these tales more than once and was initially skeptical. Today's sight completely convinced him!

The Divine Eagle was enormous and beautiful, truly not earthly; it was indeed a Divine creature, not found in the world;

The comforting young woman was exceedingly lovely and charming, unmatched even by the pampered daughters of rich merchants!

"Did we really encounter the Little Immortal? Where?" someone exclaimed, "Is this the response to our earlier prayers to the Little Immortal to save our lives?"

"Bah! Clearly, we offered a maiden to the Water God; otherwise, why did they arrive immediately after the child was thrown overboard?"

"Speak quieter, they're outside escorting the ship now!"

"Whether it's the Water God or the Little Immortal, it's great! Once we reach East Lake Port, we'll be home! I heard the County Magistrate is even distributing houses!"

"Brand new houses! With some unknown Immortal protecting us, just like the rumors said, we're bound to have good days ahead..."

...

Listening to the whispered cheers below, Yun Mo grunted in displeasure, "Picking on powerless young girls and children, and still dreaming for good days? Dream on!"

With the Demon Cultivator personally escorting the ship, the violent storm and huge waves were blocked by an invisible Barrier. The wooden ship moved against the wind and waves, stable and swift, almost skimming over the water.

Through the broken doors and windows, seeing this scene, the passengers who had been shivering and facing death now were beaming with joy, each envisioning a bright future.

Amidst laughter and chatter, in the pouring rain and mist, the silhouette of East Lake Port finally appeared.

"We've arrived! Finally reached East Lake Port!" An elderly woman in the cabin cried out loudly, bursting into tears, "We narrowly escaped death so many times along the way, but now we can finally live well!"

Beside her, a young couple, each supporting an old man, stood up and eagerly looked at East Lake Port in the rain, comforting each other, "There's always a blessing after surviving a disaster. Once we settle down and live steadily, we'll never have to live in constant fear again."

Someone with a keen interest looked at their family of five, travel-worn with only their belongings, indeed appearing as if fleeing for life, and asked, "Elderly lady, where are you from? Traveling so far to settle at East Lake Port?"
