Even so, it was hard to hurry back to the Water Altar. As she drifted, she suddenly caught sight of an island. Dazed, she thought to herself, "Forget it, forget it... I'll sleep on the island first. If... Xiao Jing notices and enters the lake to find me, there's still... still... hope."
Staggering, she made her way to the island. She bit her tongue, forcing herself to stay alert, and surveyed the island's environment.
Suddenly, she heard a strange sound from the east side of the island. She saw a black boat with a dark figure standing on it. The figure stood at the bow of the boat, holding a fishing rod and casting a line that wrapped around the tree trunk's lingzhi mushroom, then pulling it back.
Without needing to step ashore, the medicine was collected. This was Su Fuyou, gathering herbs from the lake. Su Fuyou said ominously, "How rare, how rare, to see a woman in this lake."
