Bao Zheng cried out in surprise.
Verdant Green Maiden turned, narrowing her eyes as she looked in the direction Bao Zheng was pointing.
Fragments of a boat drifted on the sea.
"A shipwreck..."
"A shipwreck?"
Bao Zheng froze.
Some fishermen had already gathered on the shore. They were discussing how the seas had indeed been rough over the past few days, but the storm had already passed. None of them had expected fragments of a boat to still be drifting in the water now.

She parted the crowd and said gently, "Make room. Let me take a look. I know medicine."
Hearing this, everyone hurried to clear a path.
Verdant Green Maiden examined them. Their lives were not in any great danger; they were simply very weak after drifting at sea for several days.

Verdant Green Maiden was overseeing someone brewing medicine.

Bao Lingyi went inside at her words, but soon
