Chapter 3030 Drifting a Thousand Miles Away


    Qiao Mu made two more attempts to enter Paradise but found it futile. She let out a resigned sigh.


    She decided to abandon the idea and continued moving forward in the water.


    This seemingly endless journey stretched throughout the night, with the horizon gradually taking on a faint glow.


    Having spent the entire night in the water, she wasn''t exactly ufortable, but she felt a growing urgency to reachnd.


    The Spring River was truly an isted ce, and Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao was growing increasingly displeased with it.


    As a little red light emerged in the distant sky, the day finally began to break.


    Qiao Mu nced around cluelessly and noticed that the water''s surface had be tranquil, as if the menacing lightning had disappeared.


    Still surrounded by water and disoriented about her direction, she could do nothing but continue her journey with a bewildered expression.


    After another hour of wandering in the water, she finally spotted a fishing boat in the distance.


    The boat was manned by an elderly man who appeared to be around 60 years old, and he was propelling the boat with a bamboo pole. A young girl, about 18 or 19 years old, sat at the bow of the boat, singing a folksong.


    Qiao Mu''s dark eyes narrowed slightly. She raised her petite hand above her head and waved vigorously to catch the boatman''s attention.


    "Grandpa, there''s someone over there!" The girl at the bow of the boat eximed in surprise, unable to hide the wonder in her eyes.


    The boatman promptly steered the boat toward Qiao Mu and handed her the bamboo pole.


    Qiao Mu extended her powerful leg and lightly tapped the bamboo pole. The boat quickly shifted, allowing her to easily step onto it.


    Simultaneously, the azure spiritual purifying fire lightly evaporated from her body, swiftly drying her clothes.


    The girl pped in admiration. "Girl, you''re really skilled!"


    Qiao Mu nodded in acknowledgment and extended her gratitude to the boatman. "Thank you, sir."


    The old boatman was a kind and gentle soul, and he blushed as he waved his hands in response.


    "Where are you headed, youngdy? How did you end up in the Spring River?"


    Last night, there was a storm with thunder booming over the Spring River. Could it have anything to do with this youngdy?


    "I''m heading to Red River Canyon."


    "Oh, that''s great. Our Little Li Vige is a must-pass ce on the way to Red River Canyon. Why don''t youe back to the vige with us before continuing your journey to the canyon?"


    "It''s quite perilous for a youngdy to travel to the canyon alone."


    The girl with the pigtails was talkative and continued, "But by the looks of it, this youngdy seems quite capable. I believe she won''t have much trouble making the journey."


    "Are you going to the temple, youngdy?"


    "The temple is situated deep within Red River Canyon!"


    The old man offered an apologetic smile and reproached his granddaughter, "Niuniu, you''ve asked so many questions all at once, the youngdy must be overwhelmed."


    The braided girl yfully stuck out her tongue. "I don''t think you''re that much older than me, youngdy. I''m neen. How about you?"


    "I''m sixteen."


    "Heh, then I''ll call you little sister!" Niuniu said with a warm smile, as if they were already familiar.


    "Alright."


    Qiao Mu agreed, unfazed by the issue of how she was addressed.


    Doubts crept into her mind, and she couldn''t resist asking, "Grandpa, are we not in the middle of the river?"


    She recalled their boat being destroyed halfway, and considering she had been drifting through the night and couldn''t determine her direction, they shouldn''t have gone too far.


    However, upon seeing the two of them, they appeared to be ordinary individuals. They shouldn''t have been able to travel too far.
