A rare magical miracle in the world

```

"I find it quite nice, a novel sensation."

"You'll regret that when the storm hits."

The old fisherman was well advanced in years, but he held no fear. It was just a pity for those two young girls, so young and yet courting death so recklessly.

"Rest assured, old man, the storm dares not harm me."

"What?"

The old fisherman didn't understand, and what happened next was something this seasoned mariner, who had fished the seas for decades, could not comprehend.

The direction of the waves was peculiar; the weather, which shouldn't have produced wind, suddenly gave rise to a favorable breeze, and its direction seemed to change by the minute.

However, regardless of how the wind blew, it always guided the fishing boat towards the most correct path, as if aided by divine force.

With his limited understanding, to the old fisherman's eyes, this was already an extraordinary event.

Luckily, he was merely a mortal, not a Child of Miracle.

If a Child of Miracle were here, it might well overturn their fundamental beliefs.

To utilize Miracle Power to control the wind and currents is but an effortless feat, yet the true challenge lies in abstaining from such Miracle Power!

Ying Muyao had not used any Miracle Power, yet the wind and water moved and flowed as she required, solely because she was present.

Yes, she was here!

All forces sensed her presence, and thus they retreated, obeyed, followed, adored, and protected.

The power level of the Empress of the East was such that even legends could not grasp a fraction of it if they were present.

The gap between them was simply too vast—so vast that a legend would find their mind a complete blank upon witnessing the Empress of the East.

As for mortals, should the Empress of the East not constrain herself, the old fisherman would have crumbled at the mere sight or sound of her the very first moment.

For with his capacity to understand, he could not possibly fathom the existence of a being as elevated as the Empress of the East.

Of course, under normal circumstances, ordinary people without sufficient strength cannot perceive the Empress of the East.

Even Gongsun Wu and the others would not be able to see her.

"This is really strange, too miraculous!"

By now, how could the old fisherman not realize that Ying Muyao and Gongsun Wu were no ordinary people: "You... Are you immortals?"

But then again, if they were immortals, they would be able to fly, so why would they need his boat?

"We are not immortals."

"Immortal" is a title uniquely bestowed within the Eastern Empire for those who transcend the ordinary, but to call the Empress of the East an immortal would be somewhat of an insult.

"The immortals you speak of come from stories in the southwest."

Gongsun Wu was gentle and lacked haughty arrogance, which was why Ying Muyao chose her as a close attendant.

Additionally, the Eastern Empire didn't actually have a specific race of immortals.

The immortals of Miracle Mainland, like witches and demons, are the Children of Miracle born under the Female Sword Emperor, not products under the command of the Empress of the East.

If one must make a comparison, the immortals under the Female Sword Emperor's command are only somewhat higher than the average Child of Miracle, akin to the Heroic Level.

Thus, to call the Empress of the East "Heroic Level" would indeed seem like an insult.

"Ignorance is not a sin."

Ying Muyao casually forgave the old fisherman's transgression and then asked, "Old man, although I am not an immortal, I can make you into one. Would you like to become an immortal?"

"Your Majesty, you..."

Gongsun Wu guessed that Ying Muyao was going to bestow Miracle Power on the old fisherman, but this seemed far too casual.

"He risked carrying me on this journey; in return, I casually grant him eternal life."

Ying Muyao already understood the old fisherman's heart and calmly said, "Are the two not equivalent?"

The man did not realize that encountering the Empress of the East was such a fortunate twist of fate.

"Your Majesty, there is something I've long wanted to ask."

"You wish to know why I am determined to go to Yatun, don't you?"

Strictly speaking, Gongsun Wu shouldn't ask; it was too presumptuous. Stay updated through empire

She was a child picked up from the battlefield by the Empress of the East, indoctrinated from a young age with the principle of supreme veneration towards the Female Emperor.

By now, even without the Miracle Contract, the Empress of the East remained the sole focus of her life, the Supreme Lord for whom Gongsun Wu was prepared to sacrifice everything.

"Why indeed..."

```

```

"I also want to know why."

Empress of the East clenched her fist, her eyes filled with nostalgia and thin anger, "It's like a child saying they want to eat fruit, but this kind of fruit can only be found in the far West. Despite knowing the trouble, in order to make them happy, one would still travel thousands of miles across the desert, no matter the cost, just to bring back this type of fruit."

"Uh..."

Gongsun Wu didn't quite understand for a moment.

Does this have anything to do with their trip to Yatun?

"When you bring the fruit back, you find that he has disappeared," the tone of the Empress of the East carried a hint of anger, "very willful, doing as he pleases."

Having said this, the anger in the Empress of the East dissipated, replaced by calmness, and a touch of indulgence, "But at least, he returned home."

"Your Majesty, can you tell our story? I don't understand when you talk about others like this."

"Sigh."

The Empress of the East said helplessly, "Little Wu, you just need to know that I'm here to collect a debt."

"Boom!!"

Not long after, Gongsun Wu heard a series of cannon fire.

The Iron Eagle technology was behind, but in other places, like between the Northern Continent and the Miracle New Continent in the Northern Sea, gunpowder had already appeared, and some places even had cannons.

"400 nautical miles away, there's a fleet in combat, probably pirates."

"Pirates?"

Ying Muyao found it amusing, "The pirates of this sea area, are you saying it's that brat, the Berserk Hunt King?"

"Your Majesty, even if the Berserk Hunt King is the King of the Northern Sea, he's the Master of Miracles, it's impossible for him to personally go to sea to rob."

"Whether or not he gets involved, it's all the same."

Ying Muyao looked down on the four great sea kings. In fact, apart from a few people like the Holy Emperor, the Empress of the Far North, the Empress of the East had never really regarded anyone in the world highly.

"Old man, let's drive the boat over there."

"Where to?"

Ying Muyao and Gongsun Wu were conversing in their minds, and naturally the old man couldn't hear them.

"In that direction," Gongsun Wu quickly gave directions, "head for 400 nautical miles."

"How much?!!"

The old fisherman was flabbergasted at this point, are you kidding, 400 nautical miles?!

"We will get there quickly."

Ying Muyao said, "The wind will take us there, and the sea will show us the way, old man just keep going forward, nobody dares to block the place I want to go to."

Indeed, as Ying Muyao's words fell, the sea suddenly surged, and the wind became increasingly violent.

The whole ship was like an arrow released from the bow, clearly without any fluctuations of Miracle Power, yet it achieved rocket-like speed.

"How astounding!"

Gongsun Wu was almost stunned, "It's like the laws of nature have come to life."

The principles of tailwind, flocked near Ying Muyao, longing for her favor.

And those principles signifying misfortune, bad luck, and resistance, although they also wanted to approach Ying Muyao, knew they were inappropriate at this time; thus, ashamed and self-effacing, they retreated, not daring to cause the slightest offense.

"Don't, don't kill me."

"Take what you want, just let us go, we've really paid the toll!"

"Father, father save me, wu wu wu."

At sea, a pirate ship was raiding a merchant fleet, even though the number of merchant ships was ten times that of the pirate ship, they were still beaten into a loss of will to resist.

"Sir, pirates, those are pirates, we should head back fast."

The old fisherman, though his worldview had been shattered, instinctively feared the pirates, "That flag? That flag seems to be the legendary Ghost Ship..."

"Eh? Where did the two fairy ladies go?"

In the blink of an eye, Ying Muyao and Gongsun Wu disappeared from the little fishing boat.

All that was left behind was a jug of wine, a gift from Ying Muyao, a reward that promised extended life.

"Follow the current, and you can go home."

The voice of Ying Muyao echoed in his mind; the dignified Empress of the East, countless people in the world yearned for her favor, even speaking a single word with her was a great honor.

However, the old fisherman didn't know Ying Muyao's identity; dazed, he turned the boat around, the current that was flowing towards them reversed, and began sending the old man back.
