He understood the feelings of everyone around him all too well.
They had all come from the outside world for trials.
Upon entering this secret realm, their cultivation techniques were gone, and their spiritual energy was sealed. Their cultivation was almost equivalent to zero. Apart from the two of them who had lived for a longer time and still had a little bit of magic left for self-defense, everyone else was now practically just a mortal.
Ordinary humans would definitely get tired, exhausted, and even hungry after a day of exertion.
Under such circumstances, for someone to shamelessly sit nearby, roasting pigeons over a fire, basting them with sauce, and also roasting several potatoes beside them.
How inconsiderate!
They were practically not human.
Of course, Chen Xi was just mentally complaining on behalf of others. In reality, she herself had no objections.
When one is on the benefiting side of something, why would they have any objections?
"Si Qing, *hiss*, your roasted food smells so good," Qi Yu ran all the way to him and took a deep breath.
Everyone around them looked towards the bonfire. Seeing Qi Yu run over, they all snapped back to reality, feeling a bit out of sorts. They then turned their heads back and busied themselves eating the flatbreads in their hands.
However, no matter how much they pretended not to care, the cold, hard flatbreads tasted vastly different from the fragrant pigeons.
Those people looked at the bonfire, then at the distance. Si Qing and Qi Yu, each holding a delicious-looking roasted pigeon, were filled with longing.
Finally, someone swallowed a mouthful of saliva and hesitantly walked over to ask them:
"Where did you buy this you're eating? Can you buy me one too? It smells so amazing. Oh dear, you probably don't have any left, do you? Do you have any more pigeons? Can you give me one?"
"Brother, where did you catch these pigeons? Can you tell me the location? Did you just catch them on the boat? Or did you catch them before getting on the boat? This roasted pigeon smells so incredibly good!"
"Oh, stop asking. I saw with my own eyes that they caught these pigeons on the deck of the ship during the day. I was thinking at the time, would wild pigeons taste good roasted? I've been proven wrong now."
"Alas, the smell is truly divine. Speaking of which, I still have a lot of food in my storage pouch. It's a pity that this damned secret realm restricts spiritual energy and cultivation. If I had known, I wouldn't have entered."
"Who isn't saying that? It's precisely because we entered and can't leave, and we get hungry, that we have to take a boat to search for treasures. I thought our cultivation would recover after we leave the secret realm."
"Your cultivation will naturally recover after leaving the secret realm, but the crucial problem is how to leave this secret realm when we've become human?"
"Yes, we're worried that if we remain in this state, we won't be able to leave the secret realm unless we meet certain conditions."
Their discussion, starting from the roasted pigeons, moved to storage pouches, and finally to the issue of leaving the secret realm.
And they were discussing it heatedly.
Qi Yu hadn't really thought about whether they could leave. After all, for her, leaving here was incredibly simple.
But now, hearing everyone's noisy discussions, Qi Yu also began to notice the loopholes in this secret realm.
That's right, if their spiritual energy and cultivation are restricted here, what will happen when they try to leave the secret realm? Does the wooden token given by the secret realm, which states ten days, mean they will be automatically sent out after twenty days?
Or does it mean that after twenty days, if certain conditions are not met, they won't be able to leave?
