C68 (2/2)

However, the wind and the rain were too heavy, causing the waves to crash against the hull of the ship. Leng Jun was not skilled in piloting ships, so with his ability, he was simply unable to contend against the sea under the violent winds and torrential rain.

Suddenly, the body of the boat shook. It turned its head and suddenly changed its direction. Then, it quickly recalled the direction it was heading towards. Leng Jun was shocked, a bad idea surfaced in his mind.

Leng Jun pulled on the steering wheel hard, hoping that he could bring the boat back to its original route. However, the boat didn't listen to him at all. The more Leng Jun wanted to change the direction of the bow, the more he resisted, as if he had a life of his own. Finally, the rudder broke with a crack.

Leng Jun was momentarily unaware, and his entire body fell to the ground. After he fell onto the deck, he tumbled backwards several more times before coming to a stop when he hit the cabin.

With a creaking sound, the cabin door opened.

So it was Zhu Qingyun who heard the commotion, and wanted to see what happened to Leng Jun. Leng Jun saw that the ship's rudder had been broken, he could no longer control the direction of the ship, and could only resign himself to fate, and followed along to enter the cabin.

After Leng Jun entered the cabin, he anxiously locked the cabin door, and then leaned on a corner of the cabin and panted.

After closing the cabin door, the cabin became so dark that nothing could be seen. Zhu Qingyun asked with a trembling voice: ”Brother Jun, are you there? What happened?”

Hearing Zhu Qingyun's voice, Leng Jun quickly replied: ”I'm here. The ship's rudder has been broken, we can only wait until the storm is over before we think of a solution. But you don't have to be afraid, there's still me. As long as the rain stops, I can immediately repair the rudder. ”

Leng Jun did not know how to repair boats, but at the moment, he could only say that.

Sure enough, hearing his words, Zhu Qingyun felt more at ease. She whispered: ”Brother Jun, it's too dark here. I'm a little afraid, can you come a little closer?”

Leng Jun just realised that there were no lights in the cabin, the pitch black inside the cabin made people afraid easily. Therefore, he hurriedly found the fishskin pouch that he brought with him. After opening it in the dark, a white light shot out.

It turned out that not only was the fish skin bag filled with boxes of Dragon's Saliva Pill s, there were also many precious stones that Leng Jun had stolen from the Divine Palace. Because he came out in a hurry, he always carried these things with him. Within that pile of gems, there were still several Night Pearls hidden. Those white lights were emitted by those Night Pearls.

Leng Jun picked out two of the larger ones, held one in his hand, and threw the other at Zhu Qingyun's feet. He said: ”Take this, and you should not be afraid of it, right?”

Although the light emitted by the Night Pearls wasn't that intense, the two of them added together were enough to create a bit of light in the cabin, and would no longer cause anyone to fear the darkness.

Zhu Qingyun picked up the Night Pearl and placed it in her hands, but she was not satisfied with it. Although she was truly a little afraid, what Zhu Qingyun wished for the most wasn't the light of the Night Pearls, but the warmth in Leng Jun's embrace.
