The boatman actually didn't want to bring Tian Ya there.
This was because there were terrifying rumors about that island in the town.
Many people who went there would face extreme danger. The lucky ones would get lost and the unlucky ones would become unconcious.
Some people said that they fell unconcious for three days when they were on the outskirts of the island. When they woke up, they appeared deep in the ocean. Fortunately, that person woke up quickly before he was in a storm.
All sorts of rumors made the boatman really worried.
But...
Tian Ya was rich!
The boatman was not willing to go but Tian Ya gave him too much.
She gave him 30 times the normal price which exceeded half his yearly income. He gritted his teeth and agreed.
Of course, the boatman had thought about hitting on Tian Ya.
But she was a Dao Pursuing Realm expert. With the mysterious lady body, she increased the speed of her cultivation substantially.
