The male supporting character was actually myself.

"Please come in, young master. This is the emergency cabin where the emergency airships are located. In case of an accident, the relevant personnel on each floor can retrieve the corresponding airship immediately."

Lan Jingshu unlocked the door and invited him in. In the small, dark space, neatly stacked red and white folding airships could be seen at a glance.

Chapter Fourteen, Second Plan

The gleaming metal machinery, brimming with punk style, occasionally let in the clattering of wheels as they entered, and numerous air vents automatically opened to let in light.

"There are five small airships in a row, and the first floor is..." Jiang Chen glanced over and counted them all; there were a total of twenty, enough for two hundred people.

The next floor was a private emergency airship for second-class guest rooms. Lan Jingshu stepped forward and counted them, her face immediately turning pale.

There are only two floors with a total of fifty emergency airships, which means that in the event of an emergency, at most only five hundred people can receive rescue support!

"Second Brother is being too ridiculous!" Lan Jingshu suddenly felt her mouth go dry and was a little flustered. Could it be that Young Master Luo's dream was real?

The Cloud Dream City was so large that the interior space of each cabin was compressed in order to accommodate these tourists.

As a result, only fifty of the more than six hundred emergency airships that should have been equipped could fit in!

"Miss Lan, for safety reasons, I suggest that the airship stop at Kunxia Port and not take off again rashly."

Otherwise, if a real danger were to occur, the tourists on the airship would be left helpless, and the Yunmeng family would be held accountable. Jiang Chen knew that it was unlikely to completely bring the airship to a standstill with the help of the script, but he had to try.

After pondering for a moment, Lan Jingshu said with a solemn expression, "I can give it a try, but I'm not sure if I can succeed. Although I am a young lady of the Yunmeng family, I don't manage household affairs and don't have any real power."

Some senior captains in Yunmeng even wield more influence than their younger masters.

If it cannot be stopped, young master can disembark at Kunxia Port to avoid being implicated.

"Let's give it a try first. If the captain refuses to stop sailing, we might consider evacuating the tourists."

With some time to go before reaching Kunsha Port, the two discussed their options and then left the inner cabin to head straight for the captain's quarters.

A moment later, Lan Jingshu came out with a slightly pale face and shook her head, saying, "The captain knows about this."

He said that the special circumstances of the Cloud Dream City had been discussed collectively within the Cloud Dream Family, and they believed that there would be no problems, so the number of emergency rescue airships was severely insufficient.

I think it's impossible to request a suspension of flights based on my identity. Does Young Master Luo have any other options?

“For the sake of the Yunmeng family’s reputation, we certainly cannot directly evacuate the tourists.” Jiang Chen had already prepared several contingency plans. After learning that Lan Jingshu could not stop the airship, he decided to activate the second plan. “For safety’s sake, please disembark at Kunxia Port and wait for other airships.”

As for the other tourists on the Cloud Dream City, I will find another way.

Lan Jingshu didn't dare to completely trust things that hadn't happened yet, but the severe shortage of emergency airships was indeed a huge safety hazard.

She was filled with worries but had no way to deal with them.

The airship was moving very fast, and after lunch, the blue sky and white clouds gradually turned into dark clouds.

Tourists who had been admiring the magnificent mountains and waterfalls of the islands floating in the clouds all returned to their rooms.

"Host, what do you plan to do?" The little white cat groomed its white fur, looking worried. "How about we just ignore the others and take the young lady of the Lan family off the airship to escape this disaster? The script calls for these people to die, and we'll find a way to kill them anyway."

Jiang Chen lay on the couch, flipping through the various airship information sent by Miss Lan's men, and said casually, "After we arrive safely at Kunxia Port, we can just find a way to make the airship unable to take off due to a malfunction."

"As long as they can't take off, we'll secretly use some tricks to send the male and female leads down a different path, let them suffer their love-hate relationship, and not harm anyone else."

"A malfunction?" The fluffy little dumpling's eyes lit up immediately. "How come I didn't think of such a good idea? Where do we start to cause trouble?"

"If we're going to do it, let's do it thoroughly and make sure this airship can never fly again!"

Kunxia Port.

Duan Lang inquired with the airship again, and after receiving a negative answer, he became extremely anxious.

His Majesty issued the imperial edict of appointment five days ago, ordering me to set off immediately to take up my post at Liulita. However, after more than a decade of hard study and passing the imperial examination with top honors, and having been in the capital for several months, my greatest concern is for my elderly parents at home.

So, taking advantage of the ample time before taking office, Duan Lang took the liberty of detouring back to his hometown to visit his family. He thought he could take a speedboat directly from Kunxia Port to Liuli Tower without delaying his arrival, but unexpectedly, torrential rain poured down for several days and all the speedboats dared not take off!

If we delay any longer and waste time, His Majesty, who is always strict, will definitely punish us severely!

"I must set sail today!" He watched the time tick by, then rushed anxiously into the steward's office and slammed a piece of gold on the table. "Just provide me with the smallest airship, and I'll offer a hefty reward to any captain and helmsman who dares to set sail!"

Looking at the palm-sized gold nugget, the steward with the mustache looked helpless. "Lord Duan, I know you're in a hurry to take up your post, but the weather isn't cooperating!"

I don't want to stay stationary like this forever, since everyone in this line of work relies on sailing to make a living.

Look outside, the wind is howling, the rain is pouring, and there's thunder and lightning. Nobody dares to set sail! Especially smaller airships, they're even less likely to fly, because their weight isn't enough to cause the mast to snap and they'll be smashed to pieces by the strong winds.

Please wait a little longer. The Yunmeng Family's largest and most luxurious ship, the Yun Shen Meng Cheng, will soon arrive at the port to replenish its freshwater resources. Perhaps I can find a way to help you find a room on board.

However, you certainly can't bring your servants, attendants, and several cartloads of luggage. Keep it simple, bring only a few belongings and two attendants, and get on the airship first.

"The Cloud Deep Dream City?" Duan Lang had heard of that airship.

Trusting the Yunmeng family's reputation, he rekindled his hope and pushed the gold towards them, saying, "If you can help me get a ticket, I will reward you handsomely!"

The head steward knew that Master Duan's family was not short of money.

As the most famous wealthy family in Kunxia Port, if the airship industry were not directly under His Majesty's control and no one else could interfere, the Duan family would probably have bought several airships for their own private use.

After accepting the gold, the steward said with a beaming smile, "Lord Duan, please rest assured, I will definitely find a way to get you aboard the Cloud Dream City. You will arrive at the Glazed Pagoda in three days at the latest!"

A fierce wind swept across the world, torrential rain poured down, and lightning flashed across the sky like silver snakes from time to time. Although it was daytime, the airship seemed to be sailing in the dark.

The dark clouds, as black as ink, rolled and surged, like the gaping maw of a giant beast ready to swallow the airship whole at any moment.

All the doors and windows on the Cloud Dream City were tightly closed, but the banquet halls on each floor were brightly lit and bustling with activity.

Occasionally, people marvel at the terror of nature, but the airship is so stable that even the howling winds cannot shake it in the slightest, and it still travels steadily through the sky. As long as you don't look outside, no one will even notice that the severe weather is raging across the entire sky.

"No wonder the Yunmeng family dares to claim that this is an unsinkable airship; it is indeed impressive!"

"With such terrible weather, I'm afraid no other airship besides the Cloud Dream City would dare to take off, right?"

"It is an immense honor to participate in this maiden voyage that is destined to go down in history!"

"With the breakthroughs and innovations of the Yunmeng family, we will no longer have to worry about travel problems during bad weather."

"It was so stable that I didn't even feel the airship landing if I couldn't see the data on the instruments."

"They're definitely landing! They must have arrived at Kunxia Port. It's a pity the weather's bad so we can't see the Duan family's iconic building..."

…………

Chapter Fifteen: Is this even possible?

"Host, I glanced at the map and we're almost at port. Where do we start? Should we use tools or just go for it?" The little white cat excitedly rubbed its fists together, ready to help its host cause chaos.

"Lord Duan, the Cloud Deep Dream City will be arriving soon. Please prepare your luggage and attendants and wait for my message!" The steward took time out of his busy schedule to remind him.

After much deliberation, Duan Lang only brought his page and a few simple suitcases. He sat in the waiting room, looking out at the dark sky. He looked left and right, but everywhere was pitch black and all he could hear was the sound of the torrential rain. He couldn't see any sign of the airship.

A moment later, Jiang Chen looked down from the window, his expression frozen.

The Cloud Depth Dream City didn't even land!

It hovered about fifty meters above Kunsha Port, while supply ships busily transported fresh fruits and vegetables. The torrential rain and howling winds shook the people coming and going, but the massive airship remained perfectly still in mid-air.

"Young Master Luo!" The little maid Yan'er rushed over, disregarding etiquette and almost bursting in anxiously, saying, "My young lady said that due to the weather, Kunxia Port cannot prepare enough space for the Cloud Deep Dream City to land."

This airship was designed to resupply at low altitudes, so it didn't land!

"Young Master Luo, for your safety's sake, you should disembark quickly. Any later and we'll have to continue sailing."

Jiang Chen hurriedly asked, "Where is your young lady? Should she go downstairs?"

"Miss said that since she is a member of the Yunmeng family and cannot stop the airship from sailing, she should stay to avoid any accidents that would cause the family to suffer criticism."

Yan'er was unclear about what had happened, and her face was slightly pale as she said, "But she dismissed the servants around her. Miss asked me to leave as well, but I didn't want to go. If I left, she wouldn't have anyone to keep her company."

"Young Master Luo, is something bad about to happen? Perhaps you could try to persuade my young lady to take her off the airship? No matter how important the matter, nothing is more important than her life!"

"In that case, she probably won't leave," Jiang Chen sighed softly.

The little white cat looked confused. "Why? Wouldn't she be competing with the others for the emergency airship if she stayed behind?"

"If I don't fight for the position, what else can I do but die? What does it have to do with her family? I just don't understand."

Why?

He twitched his lips and sighed inwardly. Of course, it was the power of the script! So far, no script update had been triggered, and everything was proceeding according to the original plot. Lan Jingshu had already made up her mind, so it would probably be difficult to persuade her.

Should we knock the white kitten unconscious and drag it away?

Jiang Chen glanced at the torrential rain outside the window and gave up on the idea.

Even if I can't prevent the tragedy from happening and all hope is lost, I have the ability to save their lives. There's no need to risk sending her down in such heavy rain.

The sabotage plan was also disrupted. The airship was too far from the land, so they had to be careful. Otherwise, if they damaged the power system and crashed, the casualties would be even greater.

To be on the safe side, he had secretly bribed the housekeeper to buy up every available seat at a high price to ensure that Duan Lang would not be able to get a single ticket!

Even if the plan to sabotage the airship fails, he cannot be allowed to board the ship and be cuckolded by Ye Qingqing.

"Miss Yan'er, please go back and tell your young lady that since she refuses to leave, I won't leave either. I can't say what might happen, so please be careful. If there is any danger, I will try my best to get there as soon as possible."

After seeing Yan'er off, Jiang Chen used his soul artifact to check that the supply boat had landed on the ground and would not be affected. Then he closed his eyes and ordered it to navigate through the internal system, quickly severing some of the components connected to the power system!

"Creak, creak—boom!"

The sudden loud noise caused the airship to shake slightly, startling everyone on board who cried out in alarm!

"It's terrible, Captain! You need to go check this out quickly! The mast and deck railings have suddenly snapped off!"

"Beep beep beep!" The alarm suddenly sounded, and the entire airship began to tremble and sway slightly.

"Captain! The internal propulsion connector light is on, and we can't get it connected!"

The captain, who was overseeing the supply operation, was over fifty years old. He wore a black gauze long robe with a classic cloud pattern from the Yunmeng family, and the five cloud patterns embroidered in gold thread on the cuffs indicated his extraordinary status and qualifications.

He had a neat, half-white beard, and his square face was etched with deep wrinkles. His gaze was resolute and exuded an air of authority.

"What's the panic? The Cloud Deep Dream City is known as an unsinkable airship, and that's no exaggeration!" The captain's voice wasn't loud, but it was full of energy, giving people a sense of security for no reason.

"Dayong, take some men to replace the mast with a spare one; if the railings on the ship haven't fallen off, they can be installed directly using the splicing device that the young master just developed. These aren't big problems, they can be easily solved."

"Have the supply boat bring up the fallen mast later, piece it together, and store it for future use."

"The same goes for the internal power connector. Take the mechanics to find out where the problem is as soon as possible, repair what needs to be repaired, and assemble what needs to be assembled."

The Cloud Dream City has five independent power engines, so even if only one is left, it can still ensure a safe landing!

Besides, with the young master's new invention, as long as the airship doesn't instantly disintegrate into pieces, it can be pieced back together and continue flying. Don't make such a fuss about it anymore.
