Chapter 21 Merchant Ship Captain Jarvis
Boats have always been a hot commodity on the high seas, especially for survivors who only have rafts.
They flocked to it.
Not every survivor will encounter a pirate ship and successfully kill all the pirates on board.
They even killed two pirate crews in a row.
As soon as the pirate ship was attached, Chen Qing was bombarded with news.
At this point, the survivors were basically out of danger.
If they fail to escape danger, they will inevitably become victims at sea or be taken prisoner.
"Sister Chen Qing."
Dahlia nestled beside Chen Qing, tilting her head back to look at the moon in the sky, her voice low.
"Um?"
"We should be arriving at Sapphire Island soon, right?"
Dahlia pursed her lips, her face showing no joy at the prospect of seeing her mother's men.
"It should arrive around tomorrow morning."
Chen Qing half-closed his eyes, crossed his arms, and leaned back in his chair.
With the super vines, you can continue traveling even at night without worrying about deviating from the course, which will greatly reduce the time spent.
"I'm a little reluctant to part with you."
Dahlia's fingers hooked around Chen Qing's hem, swaying back and forth.
"..."
Chen Qing opened her eyes and looked down at Dalia, who was also looking at her with her eyes open.
"We all have things to do."
Chen Qing will not keep Daliya, and Daliya will not want to stay either; it is impossible for her to leave with Daliya.
Chen Qing may not be weak now, but the place Daliya is going to is the Crimson Sea.
In the realm of the Crimson Sea, Chen Qing might not even be as valuable as a random sea fish.
Dahlia is Moana's daughter, so naturally someone will protect her.
Chen Qing is different; she needs time to grow.
Both of them knew perfectly well that Dalia was simply reluctant to part with Chen Qing.
She had lived on Slave Island since childhood, and no one had ever treated her as simply as Chen Qing.
While she was adrift at sea, Chen Qing was unaware of her identity, but knew she would bring great trouble, yet he was still willing to keep her.
He even killed the people who were chasing her, cooked for her, and was willing to teach her.
Dahlia sniffed, bravely holding back her tears, and solemnly extended her little finger.
"Sister Chen Qing, I will wait for you in the Crimson Sea! I definitely will!"
Dahlia's voice was a little hoarse, but her eyes were determined; she would definitely survive!
"……good."
Chen Qing nodded, reached out and hooked his finger around Daliya's pinky, making a promise.
She couldn't really understand Daliya's emotions; Chen Qing had always been rather indifferent to feelings since childhood.
To her, Dahlia was just a pitiful little sister, the kind you see everywhere.
"Sister Chen Qing, you are so kind."
Dahlia threw herself into Chen Qing's arms, nuzzled her head, and acted coquettishly.
Chen Qing cooperated fully, stroking the poor little guy's fur.
However, this rare moment of warmth was immediately shattered by a painful cough.
The survivors of the merchant ships gradually awoke.
They woke up at the worst possible time. Dahlia stared at them, her eyes filled with malice and disgust.
"Did...you...save us from...those pirates?"
A middle-aged woman, breathing heavily, slowly sat up from the wooden bed.
Chen Qing treated them quite well; although they were only on the deck, each of them had a very soft bed.
Many survivors are still lying on the bare rafts.
"Are you alright?"
Chen Qing patted Dalia on the shoulder and walked towards the woman, carefully observing her condition.
Dalia glared fiercely at the woman from behind, her menacing appearance instilling a sense of fear in the woman who had traveled extensively for many years.
Perhaps because of the deep impression she had of the pirates in that pirate crew, Dahlia appeared terrifying to the woman, even more terrifying than the pirates.
Even the usually aloof and indifferent Chen Qing seemed so kind and approachable.
Chen Qing checked the woman's condition and found that her condition had stabilized after taking the medicine.
All you need to do now is rest well and recover gradually.
The pirates treated them as hostages, so they didn't make them suffer too much; at most, they only suffered some physical pain.
"There's nothing seriously wrong. You can just let it heal slowly once you get back."
Chen Qing put down his medical instruments and took another bottle of medicine from the medicine box for the woman.
"I drank it."
The woman quickly took the medicine and obediently drank it. After drinking the medicine, she regained a lot of strength and could speak fluently again.
"My name is Jarvis, and I own a small trading company on Reef Island in Treasure Sea."
"What is the destination of your ship...?"
"Sapphire Island".
Chen Qing said calmly, putting the empty bottle back into the medicine box.
Upon hearing the destination, the woman breathed a sigh of relief: Sapphire Island, thank goodness.
As a businessman, he always has many friends, and Jarvis has several friends on that island.
"Don't worry, once we reach Sapphire Island, I will definitely thank you properly! You will be satisfied with the reward."
The woman was very tactful and didn't even inquire about the goods on the merchant ship, even though they were gifts meant for other important figures.
Nothing is more important than one's own life.
"No need. Do you know much about Sapphire Island?"
Chen Qing shook his head and asked.
Money is unnecessary. Chen Qing, who has mastered a skill, will not lack money. She needs something else more than money.
Looking at the ship, Jarvis knew that Chen Qing was not short of money, so he decided to give him something else instead.
This person is kind-hearted; she cannot be ungrateful.
Moreover, this person must be incredibly powerful to be able to kill an entire ship of pirates single-handedly. It's an honor for her to be associated with such a powerful figure!
"I certainly don't know as much about Sapphire Island as the people on the island do. Once we get there, how about I help you find a suitable guide?"
Thank you.
Chen Qing nodded slightly, without refusing.
"Not at all, it is I who should thank you for saving me and my crew."
"Javis said hastily, quickly looking around."
Wait, so many unlucky guys got captured by pirates too?
Who are your crew members?
"This one, this one, and those over there."
Jarvis quickly pointed out the crew members who had followed him, his heart filled with sorrow.
Of the dozens of people on the boat, only a few remain.
Those damned pirates!
Those whose identities were revealed by Jarvis were quickly reassigned by the super-powered vines.
The merchant ship crew members were placed on one side, and the other prisoners on the other.
So, are the remaining... survivors?
They are still the native inhabitants of this world.
If you're a survivor, it's a bit tricky.
Their raft had been destroyed, and Chen Qing had no intention of adding more crew members to his boat.
Sapphire Island... after all, it's a chaotic neutral zone with no law and order, making it difficult for them to survive there. Throwing them directly into the sea would be a certain death.
Should we give them another raft?
