The Xianzhou certainly had a vibrant nightlife.
But after hearing Shuhu's story, Chu Mu clearly wasn't in the mood for entertainment-eating and drinking aside.
He really couldn't stop eating.
After wandering around the Exalting Sanctum, Qingque started feeling sleepy too. She had pulled an all-nighter the night before, so staying up late again was out of the question.
