The Iraqi fleet sailed into the South Pacific, annihilating any ships it encountered.

When the news arrived, Xiao Qingyin and Yi Shuihan had just returned to the inn to rest after attending Zhao Xu and Fangniang's wedding banquet.

The following day, it was heard that Qiu Sanniang was leading three hundred large ships and thirty thousand allied members to confront the Iraqi fleet.

Xiao Qingyin silently prayed for her, hoping that she would return in triumph.

But things didn't go as planned.

As evening fell, Yi Shuihan received news that the pirate alliance had been defeated, their flagship had been sunk, and Qiu Sanniang had fallen into the water and been swept away by the turbulent currents, her whereabouts unknown.

Xiao Qingyin was taken aback: "Third Sister's boat sank?"

As the commander of the entire fleet, shouldn't the flagship be well protected? How could it be sunk?

"Their formation was broken by the Iraqi fleet, exposing the ships hidden behind them."

Yi Shuihan said in a deep voice.

"The ship was larger than the others, and the Iraqi fleet guessed its significance, concentrated its firepower, and sank it."

Xiao Qingyin couldn't help but worry about Qiu Sanniang.

When something happens at sea, the chances of being rescued are extremely slim. And with nightfall approaching, the search and rescue operation is becoming even more difficult.

Moreover, Xiao Qingyin glanced at the sky outside and saw that dark clouds were gathering at an extremely fast speed, indicating that there would likely be a major storm tonight.

Suddenly a voice rang in my ears: "I'm going to sea to find Third Sister."

It is Yun Zhao.

Xiao Qingyin turned around and saw that his face was pale but his eyes were firm, so she couldn't help but frown.

"You want to set sail now?"

"Yes."

Xiao Qingyin felt that he had lost his mind.

She pointed out the window and said, "A storm is coming soon. If you go out to sea now, you might not even be able to save yourself, let alone rescue people. Go out to sea tomorrow."

Yun Zhao shook his head: "It will be too late tomorrow. Third Sister may have been swept into the sea by the wind and waves."

After saying that, he strode out of the inn.

Xiao Qingyin: "..."

This guy is really courting death.

She gave Yi Wu a wink, and Yi Wu chased after her to intercept her. Yun Zhao then threw out a handful of drugs, knocking Yi Wu unconscious, before turning into a side alley and running away.

Xiao Qingyin: "..."

That's really commendable; he used the self-defense drugs she gave him on his own people.

Yi Shuihan said, "I will send someone to look for it."

Xiao Qingyin nodded.

Just as Yi Shuihan sent someone out, the rain started to fall.

The rain was mixed with hail, which lashed against the window like someone was throwing stones.

Xiao Qingyin ate dinner with trepidation.

After dinner, the people who had been sent out returned, soaked in the rain.

"We can't find it. The waves at the dock are huge, and we can't see anything on the sea. We don't know if any ships have left."

Xiao Qingyin sighed deeply.

Yun Zhao has most likely already set sail.

As she expected, Yun Zhao was currently adrift at sea in his boat.

In such terrible weather, no boatman was willing to go out to sea, so he bought a boat with his own money and rowed out to sea.

I learned rowing in Hong Kong. Although I'm not very skilled, it's enough for now.

The sea was pitch black, and the lantern could only illuminate a few meters away. He quickly lost his bearings and let the boat drift with the waves.

He silently prayed to the Sea Goddess worshipped by the people of Nanyue: Please take me to the side of the Third Sister.

Perhaps it was the Sea Goddess's power, or perhaps it was Qiu San Niang's good fortune, but after being tossed about in the wind and waves all night, feeling extremely dizzy, she saw a floating figure on the golden-glowing sea.

A surge of surprise washed over him, and he quickly swiped to get closer to the figure.

The moment he saw the other person's figure clearly, all his fatigue vanished.

"Third Sister!"

He shouted loudly.

Qiu Sanniang lay on a broken log. Yesterday, after the ship was hit, the entire ship was torn to pieces. She only had time to grab onto a broken log before being swept away by the current.

After finally regaining his balance, he realized he was far from the shore, so he had no choice but to use his hands as oars and row towards the shore.

Before she had even rowed halfway down the shore, the wind picked up, the waves surged, and pushed her back.

She had no choice but to tie herself tightly to the broken log and drift with the current, letting the waves toss her around.

Even though she was born and raised on a boat and was used to the rocking of the waves, she was still made dizzy by the rocking.

After sunrise, the temperature rose and the sea gradually calmed down.

She had regained some energy, but was still dazed when she suddenly heard someone call her name.

When I opened my eyes, there was a ship.

A man on the boat, soaking wet, waved to her.

She was a little dazed.

I suspect I'm not fully awake or that I'm hallucinating.

As the boat drew nearer, Yun Zhao's concerned voice reached their ears: "Third Sister, are you injured?"

"No."

Qiu San Niang replied.

When I opened my mouth, I realized my throat was terribly hoarse.

I touched my forehead, and sure enough, it was hot.

Seeing that she was still alive, Yun Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, untied a bundle of rope, and threw it to her.

"Grab the rope, and I'll pull you up."

"good."

Qiu Sanniang untied the sash that was tied to the broken log, wrapped the rope around her waist twice, and then grabbed the rope and moved closer to the boat.

Yun Zhao grabbed her arm and lifted her up onto the boat.

Qiu San Niang cried out, "Ouch!"

Yun Zhao looked nervous.

"Is it dislocated?"

Qiu Sanniang shook her head, lifted her clothes, and examined her legs and feet.

After a night of rough seas, her shoes and socks were long gone, and when she lifted her clothes, her bare white feet were revealed.

Yun Zhao quickly turned her face away.

Her face suddenly turned red.

Upon hearing Qiu San Niang say, "She really was bitten by a snake," she suddenly turned her head.

He had heard from members of the Hongyun Gang that sea snakes are highly venomous, and if bitten, one must seek immediate treatment, otherwise even a miracle worker could not save them.
