The water here is indeed strange.
"Dare you go up here?"
"Do you have any other ideas?"
Xu Xiwang rolled her eyes, and without hesitation, stepped onto the small raft. She stood firmly on it without any swaying.
"This little raft is nice!"
Xu Xiwang praised, looked around and, seeing no other boats, pushed the small raft into the River Styx, waiting for it to fall silent.
"Boom..."
A series of muffled thuds came from behind, and the small raft shook violently.
"Damn, the River Styx is like a powder keg!"
Xu Xiwang started cursing loudly, and the small raft was knocked about and almost capsized in the River Styx.
Fortunately, Xu Xiwang reacted quickly and grabbed the small raft, managing to keep it afloat.
"Is this little raft dangerous?" Xu Xiwang asked worriedly.
"Probably not."
Tuoba Yan Yan comforted her.
"That's good!"
Xu Xiwang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
Just then, a series of cracking sounds came from the small raft, and then it began to slowly crumble into countless pieces.
Xu Xiwang was stunned, staring blankly at everything, muttering, "Damn it... am I going to die at the bottom of the river tonight?"
Tuoba Yanyan pulled Xu Xiwang and jumped back to the shore in a few quick steps.
"Holy crap! Where's safe now?!"
Xu Xiwang roared, feeling as if he was about to drown.
Are you two planning to take a boat trip?
Just then, a clear and melodious sound rang out.
Xu Xiwang looked up toward the source of the sound and saw a woman standing on the river not far from him.
The girl looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, with beautiful features and a good figure. She stared at Xu Xiwang with a pair of bright, watery eyes and smiled.
"Holy crap, this woman..."
Xu Xiwang rubbed his eyes and looked closely before confirming that what he was seeing was real—this woman was actually alive!
"Young lady, we need to cross the River Styx. May we borrow your boat?"
Even though he knew he had met a living person, he remained polite and asked questions courteously.
"Sure! But you'll have to pay!"
The girl smiled sweetly, revealing two shallow dimples.
Xu Xiwang's mouth gaped open, and he was stunned for several seconds. This woman... is a money-grubber!
That makes things easier.
Xu Xiwang nudged Tuoba Yan Yan, signaling her to take out her money.
Tuoba Yan Yan didn't speak, but stared at the girl with a cold expression.
"Young lady, will your boat get into trouble?"
Xu Xiwang was somewhat uneasy.
"Don't worry, it won't happen."
The girl chuckled, "If you want to cross the River Styx, you'd better pay quickly, otherwise it'll get dark and you won't be able to cross."
Xu Xiwang was both amused and exasperated, but he also understood that what the other party said was true.
They had been wandering in the River Styx for a long time, and if they didn't cross the bridge soon, it would probably get dark.
Xu Xiwang took out dozens of spirit fruits and handed them over, "These spirit fruits should be enough, right?"
"Let's get on the boat."
The girl happily took it, then immediately reminded her, "Remember, don't run around! Otherwise, I won't be responsible!"
"Okay! Thank you!"
Xu Xiwang waved to the girl, then pulled Tuoba Yan Yan onto the small raft and rowed forward.
"Yan Yan, do you think there are really a lot of vengeful ghosts buried in the River Styx?"
As Xu Xiwang sat on the small raft, he suddenly felt a little scared, as if a cold wind was blowing against his face.
"have no idea."
Tuoba Yan Yan gave a faint reply.
Xu Xiwang smiled wryly, realizing he had been too cowardly. However, when he looked around, there was nothing else to see except for the eerie River Styx illuminated by the dim candlelight; there wasn't even a single fish or shrimp in sight.
The small raft sailed on the River Styx for a while, and Xu Xiwang gradually lowered his guard. The river seemed frighteningly calm.
Xu Xiwang leaned against the edge of the small raft, enjoying the cool breeze, and exclaimed, "So comfortable!"
Aren't you afraid?
Tuoba Yan glanced at him sideways and said indifferently.
"What are you afraid of? I'm that strong!"
Xu Xiwang patted his chest and said confidently.
"hehe!"
Tuoba Yan Yan remained noncommittal, saying calmly, "If you're not afraid, why don't you dare look directly into the waters of the River Styx?"
