At that moment, Su Jiu's room was already in flames. She knew that her room had caught fire, and even felt a scalding sensation from the heat. However, she could not seem to open her eyes and felt as if there was not an ounce of energy in her body.
Her finger caught fire, prompting her to forcefully roll herself down the mattress.
The yard outside her room was completely silent. The windows were tightly shut, and the smoke could not escape. No one realized that a fire had broken out.
Smoke engulfed the entire room and the mattress crackled as it burnt. The flames spread rapidly and soon, even the windows caught fire. The carved wooden windows were engulfed in flames, resulting in the smoke rising by several feet.
Finally, someone realized there was a fire after noticing fumes emerging from the Perched Phoenix Pavilion. The person exclaimed in bewilderment, "Fire! Fire! Help!"
