Facing the fog that was almost solid, the captain did not dare to move forward rashly.
However, Yin Tianqi saw it clearly.
The ghost ship was speeding towards them.
Could it be like what Blind Chen had said, that just because he had looked at it, he had been tainted by karma?
Gradually…
The outline of the hull was clear now.
The ship was huge, about the size of a basketball court, but it was dilapidated beyond recognition.
Its entire body was black and covered in pus like rotting matter, as if it had come from the bottom of the sea.
"Ah! Ghost…ghost ship!"
The captain shouted in horror, and everyone on the ship panicked.
Huo Xiuxiu's expression changed drastically as well. Her hair was stuck to her face, and she didn't think to brush it away. She subconsciously grabbed Yin Tianqi's hand and shielded him behind her.
"Hubby, hide behind me! Don't look around! It's a ghost ship."
Huo Xiuxiu had done her homework before she came. She had some understanding of the ghost ship from Fairy Huo's notes, so she immediately told Yin Tianqi not to look at it.
However, she did not know that the first person to discover the ghost ship was Yin Tianqi.
Yin Tianqi's eyes flashed with a smile as he tightened his grip on her tender and smooth hand.
Huo Xiuxiu finally reacted, but she let Yin Tianqi hold her hand in front of everyone. Her heart was filled with sweetness…
The boat was getting closer and closer. The captain's face was pale and devoid of blood.
"Plop!"
The captain suddenly knelt down and kowtowed while muttering.
Although Yin Tianqi didn't understand what he was saying, he could guess that he was probably performing some kind of ritual to pray for Mazu's blessing.
However, the ghost ship was getting closer and closer, as if it was about to collide.
Everyone's hearts were in their throats, and they didn't know what to do.
The captain kowtowed even more. Even the crew members knelt down and kowtowed in prayer.
The captain even took out two strange half-round wooden pieces and threw them onto the deck.
As if he was asking for a lot, he threw it once, looked at the result, and kowtowed a few more times before picking it up again.
Yin Tianqi saw that his entire body was starting to tremble. The result of his questioning was probably not ideal.
The creaking sound of the broken hull of the ghost ship was getting closer and closer. Everyone was helpless and could only watch as the ghost ship crashed into the fishing boat...
However, under everyone's horrified gazes, the ghost ship did not collide with the fishing boat. Instead, it was side by side with the fishing boat.
Everyone let out a long sigh of relief. The captain kept kowtowing to thank Mazu.
Just as the others were still in shock, Yin Tianqi discovered that the other side of the ghost ship was dragging a fishing boat the same size as them.
Moreover, the fishing boat looked relatively new and did not look like an ancient thing. However, the strange thing was that there was no one on the fishing boat.
At the same time, Huo Xiuxiu also noticed the fishing boat.
"It should be Wu Tianzhen's ship.”
Huo Xiuxiu muttered to herself and looked up at Yin Tianqi.
"Honey, wait for me here. I'll go on the ghost ship and take a look.”
Before Yin Tianqi could answer, the captain rushed over and shouted in his Mandarin with a Hokkien accent,"
"Don't go up! You can't come back if you get on the ghost ship. Don't go and die!”
However, Huo Xiuxiu did not care about the frightened captain at all. She pulled the anchor and threw it onto the ghost ship, hooking it onto the side of the ship.
The ghost ship swam very fast and pulled the anchor cable into a straight line. The fishing boat shook and was pulled over.
"What are you doing!"
The boatman was scared out of his wits. He pulled out a knife and tried to cut the rope, but was knocked to the ground by Uncle Zhong, who was beside Huo Xiuxiu.
Seeing this, the other crew members immediately rushed over, but Uncle Zhong pulled out a pistol and pointed it at everyone, shouting,"Don't move!"
The crew members had never seen such a scene before. No one dared to come up after hearing this shout.
Uncle Zhong turned to Huo Xiuxiu and said,"Miss, ignore them. Go up quickly."”
Huo Xiuxiu nodded and wanted to board the ghost ship through the anchor cable.
At this moment, Yin Tianqi came over.""Wait, I'll go with you."
Huo Xiuxiu frowned.
Although her husband's performance in the storm had left a deep impression on her, she still thought that Yin Tianqi was just more balanced.
Huo Xiuxiu shook her head and said,
" It's better not to, hubby. This ship is very strange. To be honest, I don't have any confidence at all. I don't have the extra energy to protect you."
Huo Xiuxiu's voice was gentle like the spring breeze, and her tone was filled with deep concern.
Upon hearing this, Yin Tianqi's lips curled up slightly, and his eyes narrowed into crescents."
"You're wrong."
Huo Xiuxiu was stunned. Yin Tianqi continued,
"I should be the one protecting you, because I'm your…husband. If I can't even protect my wife, what kind of man is that?”
Huo Xiuxiu blushed when she heard this kind of caring words that belonged only to husband and wife. She didn't know how to refute it.
Uncle Zhong saw this and said,"Miss, let the son-in-law go with you."”
Uncle Zhong had been in the market all year round and had seen many people. Just from Yin Tianqi's performance in the storm, he could tell:
His son-in-law, the heir of the Yin family, was definitely not as simple as he looked…
