The old man was briefly taken aback before responding kindly, "We make our living fishing, and we typically stay along the river."
"We never dare venture into the river's center. There's constant lightning both day and night, and it's not a place for ordinary folks to take unnecessary risks."
Qiao Mu was momentarily stupefied and inquired softly, "So, how far is this from your Little Li Village?"
Niuniu grinned brightly. "It's just an hour's boat ride away. We'll be there soon."
"And how far is this from the river's center?"
"A celestial's treasure ship would take at least half a day to get there. A small boat like ours might not even reach in two days," Niuniu explained. "But it's quite a distance—no less than 1,000 miles."
Qiao Mu was left dumbfounded, struggling to react for a while.
She had drifted over 1,000 miles overnight? Without feeling a thing?
