The appearance of the blue-haired loli, Yu Fang, was definitely an unexpected development.
Bai Zhi had originally planned to summon Undying Body directly. After all, the situation had been critical at the time. One peak Myth and two High Myths on their side had all been that tense, so it was hard to say what kind of existence would descend from the Mist Vortex.
What he hadn't expected was for Yu Fang to appear here, much less for her to possess a way to deal with that thing. That was no mere reversal of time—it was more like postponing the occurrence of a certain event.
—He could see quite clearly that it was some kind of authority related to time.
But considering her background, as well as the fact that she had dared to venture alone into nothingness at a time like this, it did not seem all that strange for her to possess an authority... After all, he had two himself.
After putting away their original vessel, the six of them boarded Yu Fang's small boat.
Unlike Qingyi, who used the power of the world to propel a boat at a slow pace, Yu Fang, a genuine River Ferryman, drove hers much faster. If they had to describe the difference, one was human-powered, while the other was electric steam-powered.
It was only after they hid themselves in the mist again and moved far away from that area that the blue-haired loli finally let out a sigh of relief.
With a dark expression, she turned to look at everyone.
"Who taught you to fight on the river? Are you tired of living too long, or do you just want to die faster? And you—what are you doing on the river?"
—Yu Fang directed that last question straight at Bai Zhi.
