On the seashore stood an altar with various offerings and incense candles. According to local customs, if the ship was to travel far, it was necessary to worship the Sea Dragon King.
Gu Chaosheng was the leader of these men, and he led everyone to worship the Sea Dragon King before they all followed him aboard the large ship.
Initially, Searcy was quite excited about boarding the ship but about an hour into the sea, she started feeling unwell, her face turning pale; she seemed to have seasickness.
Gu Youyou gloated over her misfortune and said, "Look at you now; how do you feel?"
Meanwhile, Jin Ziyuan also seemed to be seasick, but since his complexion was already very pale, a bit more pallor wasn't noticeable.
He had been holding in silence for quite a while without moving, and so Gu Youyou realized he might be feeling seasick too.
It was normal for them being northerners.
