God of Pets-Chapter 444: The Ship on the Sea
At this moment, Chen Guan was standing by the sea with Old Fu, staring blankly at something on the ocean.
As usual, Chen Guan, who was killing Secret Spirits by the sea, noticed a ship appearing on the ocean.
The key point was that Chen Guan recognized this ship.
"The Spirit King Ship of the Eight Great Royal Halls, how could it be here?" Upon seeing the ship, Chen Guan realized it was indeed the Spirit King Ship that the Eight Kings used to escort gamblers.
However, Chen Guan remembered that the Spirit King Ship should be on the Yellow Springs River, and the palace of the Eight Kings, which looked like a turtle shell, was locked above the Nether Spring, unable to leave.
"Could it be that this ocean is also connected to the Yellow Springs River?" With this thought, Chen Guan summoned four Flower Fairies and said to Old Fu, "Old Fu, wait for me here. I’ll be right back."
The four Flower Fairies grabbed Chen Guan’s clothes, fully demonstrating the power of numbers, forcibly lifting Chen Guan’s body and flying towards the ship on the sea.
The closer he got, the more Chen Guan was certain that this was indeed the Spirit King Ship.
But there was no one visible on the ship, nor any signs of sailors; the ship was sailing alone on the sea, following the currents and winds.
Chen Guan landed on the deck and put away the Flower Fairies.
Looking around, he still couldn’t see a trace of anyone.
Chen Guan walked to the cabin door he had visited before, reached out, and opened it.
He had expected to find people inside the cabin but found it empty, filled instead with stacks of cargo boxes whose contents were unknown.
Chen Guan entered the cabin and closed the door.
"It seems the Spirit King Ship is not here to pick up people this time but to deliver cargo. Where is it delivering to? Is it bringing goods back to the Eight Great Royal Halls, or taking them out? Why isn’t there a single crew member on board?" Chen Guan approached the neatly stacked cargo boxes and opened one, curious to see what was inside.
The box was quite sturdy, impervious to ordinary knives and swords, but Chen Guan used the Asura Saber to break the lock.
As Chen Guan unveiled the box, he was slightly taken aback.
Inside was a woman, dressed in white, with a white hat on her head, her face covered by a white veil, concealing her appearance.
"Is this Fujin, the host of the Eight Kings’ gambling games?" Chen Guan was somewhat surprised; he initially thought the Eight Kings might be trafficking people, but upon closer inspection, realized this woman must be the host Fujin.
Listening carefully to her breathing, Chen Guan found it long and continuous, faint but steady, not appearing to be in distress.
"Wake up!" Chen Guan pushed a few times, yet Fujin showed no reaction.
"This is strange. Why is the host of the Eight Kings’ gambling game here, locked inside a box? Could it be she made some mistake, and the Eight Kings want to sell her? Where is she being taken across the sea?" Chen Guan was puzzled.
He reached over to break the lock on another box and opened it, finding a black-clad sailor inside, in the same unconscious state as Fujin.
After opening several boxes, he found them all containing these black-clad sailors.
"No wonder there’s no crew on this ship; they’re packed inside these boxes. What is the Eight Kings planning? Are they bored and planning to sell off their own crew?" Chen Guan was filled with questions.
He realized he needed to awaken these people and ask what was going on.
Thinking it over, Chen Guan approached the box holding Fujin and lifted her out, placing her on the deck.
"I wonder what this woman’s face looks like." Chen Guan was curious and removed Fujin’s hat and veil.
Seeing Fujin’s face, Chen Guan felt a bit shocked. Her face was marked with scars criss-crossing like centipedes, sparing only the area around the eyes, causing Chen Guan to feel uneasy.
"What happened to her face?" Chen Guan quickly re-draped the veil over her face and placed the hat back on her head.
He took out an Awakening Pill and gave it to Fujin, hoping to awaken her.
Unexpectedly, the elixir worked, and before long Fujin slowly regained consciousness and opened her eyes.
Upon seeing Chen Guan standing before her, she was initially dazed, then her expression changed upon realizing she was in a cabin with other boxes, becoming frightened and her gaze filled with terror.
"Who are you... How are you here... You’ve doomed me..." Fujin spoke rapidly, leaving no room for Chen Guan to respond.
This was Chen Guan’s altered appearance, so Fujin not recognizing him was normal.
Chen Guan spoke, but Fujin staggered to stand, then moved towards her box, intending to close herself inside.
Chen Guan quickly blocked her and spoke to Fujin, saying, "Explain what’s going on first."
"There’s no time... You want to die, but don’t drag me into it..." Fujin tried to close the lid again, but Chen Guan grasped it firmly, preventing her from succeeding.
Fujin became furious, delivering a powerful palm strike at Chen Guan, which carried intense shaking power.
Chen Guan responded with Purple Qi from the East, matching her strike, causing Fujin to tumble, box and all, into other boxes, splintering them.
Chen Guan was also forced to retreat a few steps by the strike, surprised: "Fujin’s strength is this formidable? Her Palm Power almost rivals my level 39 Purple Qi from the East."
Feeling the terrifying force behind Fujin’s strike, he instinctively used Purple Qi from the East.
"You... You’ve doomed me... I won’t spare you even as a ghost..." Fujin crawled out from the broken box, her gaze filled with despair and anger, as if intending to devour Chen Guan.
"You’re the host under the Eight Kings, Fujin, right? How did you end up here?" Chen Guan asked indifferently, calmly.
"That’s the question I should be asking you. Who are you, and how did you get on the Spirit King Ship?" Fujin calmed down, realizing things weren’t adding up.
She didn’t know Chen Guan, and his attire wasn’t that of a sailor, so how did he get on the ship? Since the Spirit King Ship hadn’t docked, it should still be on the Nether Sea.
Who has ever heard of a human boarding a ship on the Nether Sea like this? It’s considered impossible.
"My name is Zi Donglai. I saw this ship by the sea and recognized it as the Eight Kings’ gambling vessel, so I came aboard to take a look." Chen Guan finished speaking and asked, "What’s happened to you? Why are you locked inside these boxes? Where do the Eight Kings plan to sell you?"
Fujin was shocked and angry upon hearing this: "You can walk on the Nether Sea? What are you actually?"
