Carrying wine and snacks, Xie Jinhuan went around two buildings and reached the Fengyi River. With a light push of his toes, he leaped onto the suspended terrace overlooking the river, where yellow curtains and the Glazed Lamp inside the room came into view.

Considering that Xie Jinhuan had ended up like this while performing Demon-Slaying and Evil-Exorcising,
