“I’ve come all this way for my beloved Captain, not for me. He is a good man and I will do anything to
save him!” I pleaded and begged him to give me the medicine for my Captain. At last, the old man seemed
satisfied and handed me the medicine. Then he asked the girl to take me to a boat and showed me how to
sail back to the Ship.
After a day’s sail, I saw our Ship. When I saw Cheng, he was in an even worse condition. Cheng took the
medicine and after a while, he returned to his normal state and could even stand up. He looked at the now
empty bottle and said, “This is unbelievable! We must find one for our Emperor!”
Cheng redirected the whole Fleet to search this Penglai Island. But no matter how hard we tried to find it,
it seemed to vanish without a trace. I guess this place was either really magical, or nobody deserved to be
immortal.
