Seven days later, atop the Shenxiu River.
On the deck of a three-story ship, Chu Yunyun held a palm-sized, obsidian altar in her hands, excitedly manipulating a creature the size of a human fist, covered in flames and resembling a young lion known as 'Suan Ni,' as it explored the east and west sides of the deck. It grimaced and struck various combative poses.
Chu Xisheng, standing nearby, watched with his heart in his throat,
This Suan Ni appeared quite adorable, like a little cat, yet within its body, it harbored flames hot enough to instantly melt swords.
He feared that in a moment of nervousness, Chu Yunyun might accidentally set the ship alight, as if she were simply doing some household chores.
Luckily, after practicing for three quarters of an hour, Chu Yunyun retracted the spell and withdrew the Suan Ni back into the obsidian altar in her palm, causing it to vanish into a burst of flame.
