Night fell.
"Looks like nobody's here." Shangyang beat his wings and circled overhead, looking down at Wuli and Jewelry Bonney.
Wuli searched the ship from end to end but found no one. There were traces of blood aboard.
Whatever horror the people on this ship had encountered, they might have fled in terror. Or they might all be dead.
"Good thing nobody's here! This ship showed up right when we needed it. Lucky!" Jewelry Bonney said, bouncing with delight.
Under the cold moonlight, the ship looked dark and eerie to Shangyang. "Are we really going to sail on this thing? It looks like a ghost ship."
"It's fine. People have died on every ship." Jewelry Bonney found food in the cabin and dug in without a second thought.
Wuli glanced at Shangyang, who had flown onto his shoulder. "Even a divine beast gets scared of things like this?"
"Scared? I'm thinking of you two! I'm worried about your safety." Shangyang flapped his wings indignantly. There was no way he would admit he was frightened. He was a divine beast.
"We don't have another choice. We'll have to use this ship for now," Wuli said. Then a problem occurred to him.
"We're missing a navigator, aren't we? Bonney, do you know how to navigate?"
Jewelry Bonney stopped eating, her mouth still full. "No," she mumbled. "My crew always handled that."
Wuli and Jewelry Bonney stared at each other. So even with a ship, all they could do was drift with the currents?
Seeing them at a loss, Shangyang suddenly coughed twice. "Ahem! Ahem!"
He wanted their attention, but neither Wuli nor Jewelry Bonney looked his way. That irritated him.
"Are you sick?" Wuli asked without looking up.
"You're the one who's sick," Shangyang huffed. He was angry that they didn't trust
