After about more than an hour of jostling, Luo'er was so dizzy that his mind was a blur as he leaned in the corner, half-asleep. Eve and Jora were also leaning on each other, eyes closed, resting.
Hu Daoke, on the other hand, didn't feel any seasickness at all, but since he had not slept the previous night, he was also finding it hard to stay awake and thus slumped over and fell asleep.
Of all the people there, only Feng was still fairly alert. The rocking of the boat didn't disturb her meditation. She closed her eyes to rest, but her expanded perception was constantly monitoring the surroundings.
"Luo'er, Luo'er, Luo'er!!" Luo'er had no idea how long he had slept when he faintly heard an urgent call in his mind; thus, he opened his eyes only to find the flickering kerosene lamp.
"Luo'er, it's dawn," Fulajie'er said.
"Oh," Luo'er rubbed his temples in discomfort and then muttered, "Are we out of the city yet?"
"Yes, we're out and now heading downriver," Fulajie'er replied.
