Chapter 380 Boarding the Ship for Treatment, Junbao Awakens
"Master Zhang!" Leng Xiyue turned around in mid-air and watched as the heavenly lightning struck Zhang Sanfeng hard.
His figure was swallowed up in the dazzling lightning, and then he plunged into the surging sea.
"Junbao—!" Yun Dan's cries were heart-wrenching.
The two flipped in mid-air to steady themselves.
Before the sailors on board could react...
Yun Dan shouted to the stunned sailors, "Quick! Save them! There's someone in the sea!"
Before she could finish speaking, she had already leaped into the sea in the direction where Zhang Sanfeng had fallen.
As soon as Yun Dan and Leng Xiyue stood on the cargo ship's deck, a group of sailors surrounded them.
Each of them held a stick and looked wary.
The leader was a dark-skinned middle-aged man with high cheekbones and sharp, eagle-like eyes.
He opened his mouth with a string of gibberish, his tone hurried and clearly accusatory.
Leng Xiyue listened intently, her brows furrowing slightly.
The man's accent was somewhat awkward.
However, he could still discern some of the intonation of the Xia Dynasty language.
A thought struck him, and he tentatively asked, "Are you all from the Xia Dynasty?"
The middle-aged man paused for a moment upon hearing this, then said a few more words, still in a dialect that Leng Xiyue couldn't understand.
Just then, a young man who was not yet twenty years old emerged from the crowd. He was thin and his face still had a touch of childishness.
He spoke timidly, "Sir, I...I can speak Chinese."
His Chinese was broken and had a strong sea smell, but it was still understandable.
Leng Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Young brother, please tell this manager that our ship sank at sea and we have been stranded for half a month. We only asked for your help when we saw your ship passing by."
Furthermore, there is another companion in the sea; I implore you all to go and rescue him!
The young man turned to the middle-aged man and quickly spoke a string of words. The middle-aged man's expression softened, and he asked a few more questions.
The young man then turned to translate: "My boss is asking, where did your ship wreck? And why is it in this area?"
Leng Xiyue had already prepared her explanation and calmly said, "We were on a sea voyage when we encountered a storm and our ship capsized."
Later, it was just the three of us left, clinging to a plank and drifting along; we can't say exactly where we were.
We urge your consul to rescue them first; a generous reward will be given afterward!
The young man spoke with the clerk for a few more moments, and the clerk nodded before turning and striding away.
When Leng Xiyue saw him turn and leave, she assumed he didn't want to help.
Just as he was about to grab him, he was interrupted by the young man's words.
"Sir, please don't worry. The consul has already gone to have a small boat launched. Someone will come to rescue them soon."
Leng Xiyue then realized what was happening and cupped her hands in thanks to the young man, saying, "Thank you, young brother."
Before long, several sailors carried a small boat into the sea.
The group paddled with all their might toward the direction where Yun Dan had jumped in.
Leng Xiyue stood at the ship's railing, gazing at the churning sea, her palms already sweating.
The instant the lightning struck.
Although he was thrown out by Zhang Sanfeng, he could see it all clearly.
Zhang Sanfeng will probably be more seriously injured than the first time he was struck by that heavenly lightning.
About an hour later, the small boat finally returned with the people.
Yun Dan was soaked to the bone, holding the unconscious Zhang Sanfeng tightly in her arms, her face streaked with tears.
Just as the small boat was about to approach the large cargo ship, Yun Dan jumped onto the deck carrying the already unconscious Zhang Sanfeng.
Then he asked the sailors standing on the deck.
"Do you have any rooms available? Quick! I need to save someone!"
The young man who could speak the local dialect quickly stepped forward.
"Please come with me, young lady!"
Yun Dan carried Zhang Sanfeng, and followed the young man into the cabin, their feet barely touching the ground.
Leng Xiyue followed closely behind.
The young man led Yun Dan and the others to a small room.
These rooms are usually given to employers who travel with the ship.
So it's not very big at all. Apart from a bed that's about two meters long and one and a half meters wide, it's just a corridor.
Yun Dan placed Zhang Sanfeng on the bed.
She was too concerned about Zhang Sanfeng's safety at the moment, so she didn't say anything to Leng Xiyue before immediately sitting down cross-legged.
Then, he placed both palms against his back and channeled the internal energy of the Linglong Divine Skill to heal him.
Seeing this, Leng Xiyue knew that Yun Dan was treating Zhang Sanfeng.
After closing the door, he stood guard at the cabin entrance, signaling everyone to move back.
He leaned against the bulkhead, watching the swaying planks, his heart filled with mixed feelings.
He waited for three whole days.
After Yun Dan finished transferring her internal energy to Zhang Sanfeng for the first time, she fed him a Water Condensation Pill.
On the morning of the fourth day, Zhang Sanfeng slowly opened his eyes. Although there was still weariness in his eyes, he had regained a bit of his spirit.
He said, "Girl, you've worked hard."
"Junbao, are you awake? You're awake, aren't you!"
Yun Dan's tears welled up instantly, and she could barely speak coherently.
"Yes, I'm sorry to have troubled you. Quickly withdraw your internal energy, or you won't be able to hold on any longer."
Yun Dan withdrew her hands as instructed and hurriedly got up to stand in front of him.
Seeing her like this, Zhang Sanfeng couldn't help but laugh and said, "How old are you? Why are you still crying?"
These words seemed to have struck a nerve with Yun Dan.
She couldn't hold back any longer and hugged Zhang Sanfeng tightly, choking back tears, "You're still laughing! When that bolt of lightning struck down, I really thought... I really thought I would never see you again!"
"You're not allowed to use your inner energy to protect me anymore, understand?"
Zhang Sanfeng let her hug him and sighed, "Silly girl, I'm fine!"
He paused, then said more solemnly, "Rest assured, I will not take any more risks unless absolutely necessary."
Yun Dan then let go of him, wiped away her tears, and was about to say something more when the cabin door was suddenly pushed open.
Leng Xiyue poked her head in: "Xiao Yundan, Master Zhang, are you alright?"
Yun Dan blushed instantly upon seeing him and said reproachfully, "Uncle Leng, why didn't you knock before coming in?"
Leng Xiyue also seemed somewhat embarrassed when she heard Yun Dan's question.
He could only explain, "I just got excited when I heard Master Zhang's laughter... I'm so sorry."
He went into the cabin and saw that Zhang Sanfeng looked alright, so he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, fortunately, it is truly a blessing that Master Zhang was able to wake up."
Zhang Sanfeng nodded slightly: "I'm sorry to have worried you, fellow Daoist."
"We are the ones who should apologize. If it weren't for saving us, Master Zhang wouldn't have..."
Yun Dan then remembered that the three of them were on someone else's boat.
"By the way, where are we now? Where is this ship headed?"
Leng Xiyue responded only after hearing Yun Dan's question: "I asked that young man. His name is Aji, and he is a handyman on the ship."
This ship is a merchant vessel from the Xia Dynasty. It has just finished delivering goods to Xiyu Island and is on its way back to the Xia Dynasty's port.
