Zhan Yan couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that Immortal Island doesn't actually exist?"

Wei Ziyuan immediately interrupted, "Impossible. Although I haven't found it, those who have seen it all say it's an extremely prosperous island. They saw it clearly!"

Lin Yiwan pondered, "Is it possible that it was just a mirage?"

Just then, a wolf howl suddenly echoed through the silent cabin.

Immediately afterward, Zhan Xiaobai darted off, so much so that Zhan Miao chased after it, shouting, "Zhan Xiaobai, you're not allowed to run around like that! It's pitch black here, if you fall into the sea, there'll be no one to fish you out!"

The man and the beast ran onto the spacious deck and saw that the sky was miraculously brightening little by little.

Zhan Miao stared in surprise, forgetting even to breathe for a moment.

The scene before me was simply too breathtaking; it was a magnificent, dreamlike realm that rose above the vast ocean.

The gilded city walls pierce the clouds, their eaves soaring like the wings of a roc. The glazed tiles gleam with the luster of molten iron. A long bridge spans the clouds from the thin mist that lingers around the city walls. The bridge is adorned with star-like particles of light. Below the bridge, a sea of ​​silvery-gray clouds surges, and the waves that crash against the bridge pillars splash up a sky full of crystals, which turn into fleeting mist as they land.

In the distance, palaces rise in layers, jade steps leading from the clouds to the sky. A figure with flowing robes walks through the mist, ribbons intertwined with the crimson sunset, making it impossible to distinguish between immortals and illusions.

Before long, figures began to move about, in twos and threes, playing and laughing, creating a lively scene.

Zhan Miao felt a chill run down her spine, and the people standing behind her were also quite shocked.

Lin Yiwan had a sharp eye; she recognized the woman in the scene.

She cried out excitedly, "Ayan, it's Mother, it really is her!"

Luna'er immediately jumped up: "I see Daddy, Daddy, it's me, Na'er! Turn around and look at me!"

She ran out quickly, startling Zhan Xiaobai, who let out a howl and carried her back.

Wei Ziyuan quickly came to his senses and excitedly said, "It's Immortal Island! They're on Immortal Island! My benefactor was right! The illusion before us is a mirage!"

As he finished speaking, the gilded scene actually disappeared little by little.

Luna cried her heart out, shouting, "Father, don't go! Don't leave Mother and Na'er behind!"

Zhan Miao stepped forward to comfort her: "Na'er, don't cry. Your father is still alive. He and my grandmother are on a small island that we haven't found yet. Didn't you just see them? They're doing very well!"

Luna asked, feeling wronged, "But how can we find them?"

Zhan Miao froze, and she subconsciously turned her head to look in Wei Ziyuan's direction.

Wei Ziyuan said, "The scene is in the southwest. Based on my experience at sea, the island they are on should be in the northeast. As long as we determine the route, we will definitely be able to find them!"

Zhan Miao urged, "Then you'd better hurry up and decide on the direction!"

Wei Ziyuan simply stopped using the compass and instead knelt on the deck to write and draw.

Lin Yiwan and the others did not dare to disturb him, and waited quietly.

About half an hour later, he finally pointed in a direction and said, "Change course, sail that way!"

Perhaps inspired by the scene, the crew worked extra hard.

By the time daylight broke, they had arrived at a very calm sea area.

The sea and sky blend into one, creating a truly magnificent sight.

Wei Ziyuan barely slept all night; his lips turned white from exhaustion.

Xie Jianshu handed him a kettle: "Master, how much longer do you estimate it will take to arrive?"

Wei Ziyuan tilted his head back and took a sip. Sang Yan replied hoarsely, "I don't know. Although the mirage gave us a directional hint, we couldn't estimate the distance. It might take several days to get there!"

Xie Jianshu immediately frowned; it seemed the food in the cabin would have to be divided carefully.

He went back and informed Lin Yiwan of the situation, so that she could prepare in advance.

Lin Yiwan nodded: "No matter what, we can't let the crew go hungry. We can eat less ourselves and give the food to them first!"

Xie Jianshu understood this principle, so he prepared the food and fresh water needed by the crew members.

After walking for five consecutive days, Zhan Miao and the others were not in good spirits.

It wasn't that she was hungry, but rather that she found the feeling of having no end in sight truly unbearable.

Lin Yiwan and Zhan Yan both looked very solemn, because the food and fresh water had already been distributed.

She said worriedly, "We can't let the crew sail on an empty stomach. We need to find a place to dock and get some supplies!"

Zhan Yan nodded: "Okay, I'll go discuss it with Master Wei and ask him to check how far the nearest island is from us!"

He had just stepped out when he bumped into Wei Ziyuan, who was beaming with excitement.

He shouted, "We've arrived! We're finally close to Fairy Island!"

Lin Yiwan's eyes lit up: "Really?"

He led the two outside, pointed to an island not far away, and said, "That's it. We'll be able to get there by noon!"

Nothing could be more exciting than this news, and everyone stood on the deck, eagerly awaiting its arrival.

As the island drew closer, Lin Yiwan's breathing became increasingly rapid.

She gripped Zhan Yan's wrist tightly and said, "Yan, we've finally found Mother! We can take her and Prime Minister Min back to Li Kingdom!"

Zhan Yan nodded emphatically: "Yes, let's go home together!"

At this moment, the large ship slowly approached the shore, and then wooden planks were laid on it.

Zhan Miao rode Zhan Xiaobai abreast and rushed towards the shore, shouting as she went, "Grandma, we're here!"

Zhan Xiaobai landed safely on the beach and let out a long howl.

The once quiet island suddenly became noisy, and then a number of strong men carrying weapons rushed over.

Luna'er had sharp eyes and recognized her father.

She quickly shouted, "Father, it's me, Na'er! Mother and I have come to find you!"

A strong man in the crowd suddenly froze, then turned around and said happily, "It's my daughter, Luna'er! It must be our King of Wu who sent people to find us. We're saved!"

He strode up to Lu Na'er and hugged Madam Lu and her daughter tightly.

At this moment, Zhan Miao called out, "Grandma, your little kitten is here! Where are you?"

When Min Xiang and the Holy Maiden helped each other out, they saw the majestic wolf-riding girl, Zhan Miao.

The saintess's eyes instantly reddened, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Heavens, am I dreaming? How did my little kitty get here?"

Min Ao reassured them, "Perhaps the king informed them of our disappearance at sea, which is why they came looking for us!"

The saintess didn't have time to say anything and immediately rushed over, catching Zhan Miao, the girl riding a wolf, in her arms.

She choked back tears as she said, "Meow, I've missed Grandma so much!"
