Chen Shi leapt up and paced through the air before landing on the painted boat.
The ferryman steering the painted boat was a familiar face, and the boat girl inside was putting on makeup, with a hairpin between her lips and her hands coiling her hair, chuckling, "Master Jieyuan, you seem rather impatient today."
Chen Shi smiled and said, "I need a favor from you two."
On the shore, a group of scholars stomped their feet and said, "Are you docking or not? Are you still in business?"
Some were anxious and jumped towards the boat with extraordinary cultivation; among them were some who had achieved Nascent Soul, capable of walking on air, but as they leaped, they found themselves getting further from the painted boat and splashed into the water one after another.
The boat girl secured her hairpin and asked, "What is it?"
Chen Shi spoke of his mother's spirit separating from her body and said, "I beseech your help, and I will offer a generous reward."
