Qi Yu finished speaking, took out a quilt from her storage pouch, covered herself with it, and fell asleep soundly.
Yan Hua also fell into a deep slumber in less than five minutes. The remaining people looked at each other, continuing to watch the Xianxia drama playing before them.
This 24-hour looped cinema not only played Xianxia dramas but also occasionally showed documentaries.
Si Qing couldn't sleep, but she also didn't know what to do, so she could only stare at the film with her other sleepless companions, bored.
"What time is it now?" Yue Zhiyin subconsciously asked. After asking, she suddenly remembered that the place they were in seemed to have no view of the outside sky.
Moreover, the sky here was not as clear as their own, and the duration of darkness seemed to be different. It was difficult to judge time based on their previous understanding.
Yue Zhiyin stopped asking, quietly closed her mouth, and then rested her chin on her hand, sighing.
"I kind of want to go back to my own world," Sui You also sighed beside her. "When can we go back?"
Yue Zhiyin yawned, "Who knows? It's a real unknown. If you ask me, it will probably take a long time to go back. I don't know if the time flow here is the same as in our world."
"So we just have to take things as they come and make do for now. Besides, even if we can go back, the most important thing now isn't when we go back, but finding the other scattered people. There are still several people who haven't been found."
As Yue Zhiyin spoke, she became sleepier and finally dozed off without realizing it.
After she fell asleep, the others also fell asleep.
The entire cinema was quiet.
Sui You subconsciously wanted to revert to her original form and fly to a phoenix tree to sleep with her wings covering her head.
But as soon as she raised her wings, she realized that there was no phoenix tree before her to use.
Sui You felt a little dejected. She reverted to her original form and sat by the bed somewhat bored, not knowing what to do. She could only look up at the trees in the film and stare blankly.
At some point, the movie playing before them switched back to a Xianxia drama, in which a phoenix was resting on a phoenix tree.
Sui You looked at the drama with envy.
Finally, she sighed again.
Qi Yu woke up from her dream as if she remembered something. She reached into her storage pouch, rummaged through it, and took out a seed, placing it in her palm. Then, she took out a small jade basin, resembling a small flowerpot, from her storage pouch and placed it in the center of the ground.
She cast a spell.
The phoenix tree seed took root and sprouted in the basin, growing at a visible speed into a very large, small phoenix tree, very similar to the one in the Phoenix clan's territory.
Qi Yu looked at Sui You, "Senior Brother, I remember you can't sleep without a phoenix tree, right? It's the habit of the phoenix clan. I happen to have many phoenix tree seeds in my pocket. Although they are not as big as the ones from your homeland, they should suffice. You can use this for now."
Sui You stared at the phoenix tree before her, somewhat stunned. After a long while, she flapped her wings and flew onto it, finding her favorite branch.
"Great, I like it very much," Sui You said, thanking Qi Yu.
Qi Yu waved her hand, "No need to be polite. I just suddenly remembered this. As long as you have it, it's fine. Also, you can put this tree into your storage pouch later. This jade basin is filled with spiritual energy. Plants and trees planted inside will not decay for thousands of years; instead, they will become more prosperous."
Sui You's expression became even more amazed.
After a while, she happily spread her wings, took out the bird's nest she had made earlier from her storage pouch, and built herself a cozy little nest on it.
Seeing him cover his head with his wings and fall into a deep sleep, the heavy stone in Qi Yu's heart finally landed.
Then, she covered herself with her quilt again and returned to her dreamland.
After an unknown period of time.
When Qi Yu opened her eyes, she found that everyone else was awake.
The cinema before them was still playing the Xianxia drama, whose name she didn't know.
Si Qing and the others had already woken up and were sitting on the sofas nearby, eating something. A large pile of various boxes was placed on the sofa over there.
Qi Yu sat up groggily, rubbing her eyes.
Si Qing saw Qi Yu and quickly called out, "Sister, you're finally awake. If you didn't wake up soon, I would have come to see you. We bought breakfast, do you want some?"
As Si Qing spoke, she handed over a large pile of boxes.
Qi Yu sat lazily on the bed, unwilling to move. She leaned over to take a look and discovered that many of the so-called breakfasts in those boxes were things she had never seen before.
The first box contained what looked like steamed buns.
However, when opened, the filling was not meat but tofu. The rest seemed to be vegetable filling, as there were many things she didn't recognize, but they didn't smell like meat.
As for the others, although she didn't know what they were, they tasted fragrant, soft, and smooth, feeling even better than the foods she had drunk before.
Si Qing ate while leaning closer and said, "The food here is too delicious. And many of the dishes, although they look similar to ours, taste very different. They seem to put more ingredients here than in our world."
"Yes, I can only taste that the steamed buns from our world are less salty, and some have a strong meaty aroma. But such buns are rarely seen in the mortal world," Chen Xi said, smacking her lips with some regret. "It would be great if we could bring all the flavors from here back to our world."
Yan Hua elegantly held a chicken wing and slowly gnawed on it. As she ate, she said, "What I'm eating should be barbecue. I think the barbecue here is really good. I wonder what they put in it. Maybe we can go buy some again tonight. This time, I'll hide my presence and go take a look, see how they grill it, and what they sprinkle besides salt. Then I'll take a little of each to bring back to our world for future use."
Chen Xi clapped her hands and cheered, "I agree, I agree! It would be even better if we could eat them in our world. But we should also find out what these things are made of. What if the ingredients are only available in this world and not in ours?"
"That is indeed a problem worth considering," Qi Yu said, finishing the tofu-filled bun in a few bites. "Then, after we finish eating, let's go out and take a look. We can also visit the shops where you bought breakfast. By the way, what money did you use to buy breakfast?"
