Chapter 124 First Encounter (1)_1
"Master, don’t worry. We’ll be in Holy Sea City soon," Xiaojiu reassured Dugu Qianye, sensing her mood.
"I’m not afraid of the Divine Temple’s strength, but I worry that my mother and grandfather might have been..."
Even as a fox, Xiaojiu found no words to comfort her. Missing for over a decade, with never any news—it spoke volumes. All it could do was nuzzle her palm with its head, indicating that everyone was there with her.
Cang Jin watched Dugu Qianye’s silhouette, his expression dark and unreadable. The sea breeze tousled his jet-black hair, as chaotic as his thoughts at that moment.
"It’s coming, it’s coming! Look, the Divine Temple’s ship is arriving!" someone suddenly exclaimed excitedly.
"Where? It’s true, it’s really coming!"
"Wow, it’s magnificent!"
"I wonder who will come to receive us? I’m so curious!"
The Divine Temple’s ship wouldn’t be overstating if called a cruise ship. With a silver exterior, it was 300 meters long and 20 meters wide, boasting five decks. The lowest level was the control room and lifeboats, serving as a subdeck. From the bottom up, the first floor was for dining and entertainment, with the three floors above that being living quarters. There were 80 rooms on the second layer, 50 on the third, and only 10 on the fourth. The lavishness of each room increased with the floor level. Deep sea blue precious coral, worth a million Gold Coins for one piece, adorned each room with at least one; every room’s lighting used the Jiao tribe’s Demon Crystals, which started at a hundred thousand each; the curtains in every room were made of the most expensive Flowing Cloud Sand, costing a thousand per foot; and all the beds and furniture were crafted from the exclusive timber of Cangmang Mountain’s inner ring, each tree worth tens of thousands.
The massive deck could accommodate thousands of people, but at the moment, only a few stood there, the sea breeze lifting their white gowns and long hair, making them seem as if they could ascend to the heavens at any moment.
