Chu Xiu clapped his hands in satisfaction.
Only then did he notice a sliver of fish-belly white appearing in the east.
Without realizing it, he had spent the entire night on his research.
Chu Xiu looked down at himself. The flames had been so hot that his clothes had been burned to ash at some point without him noticing.
