I searched the whole house but couldn't find anything to start a fire. It seems I'll have to ask them for it.
Thinking this, I started banging on the door again, yelling, "I'm hungry!!! I want to eat!! Where is everyone!!!"
At first, no one paid any attention to me.
I continued to wail, "How come Liu Lieyu went to so much trouble to kidnap me, yet you won't even give me anything to eat? Are you trying to starve me to death?! Or are you Guixu so poor that you can't afford anything?! If you have nothing to eat, you can just release me, and I'll have someone bring you food from Heaven! Where is he? Where is he?"
"Have you finished howling?" The response came from a loud noise coming from across the door. It wasn't Fei Yan's voice. "What do you want to eat?" the person outside asked impatiently.
"I want to eat dry pot!" I quickly replied.
"Dry pot?" Clearly, having been confined to Guixu for so long, they did not know what a dry pot was.
"Yes, I want dry pot! I want to eat dry pot beef offal, the kind with a small iron pot and a fire underneath!"
There was a long silence outside the door.
"What? You don't even have the Abyss?" I asked. "I didn't expect you guys to not even have dry pot. Have you never eaten it before?" I slammed my hand on the crack in the door and shouted, my tone as irritating as could be.
A voice, filled with gritted teeth, came from outside the door: "Who said I haven't eaten it? It's just dry pot; we're tired of eating it now."
"Oh, then bring it to me quickly, I'm starving."
"Wait!"
"How long am I going to have to wait?" There was no reply from outside the door. "Hey? Where is everyone? Brother, are you still there?"
I waited for a long time, but there was no sound. I went back to bed, propped my chin up, and thought to myself, "They probably went to do it."
With that thought in mind, and having nothing else to do, I lay back down and fell asleep.
"Wake up, your things are here."
While I was asleep, I sniffed and smelled something delicious! I was awakened by the aroma of food, and as soon as I opened my eyes, a large, square-faced man appeared in front of me.
I was startled. "Who are you?"
The big man didn't answer me. When he saw me stand up, he said, "The dry pot you ordered is here. Is this it?" The big man pointed to the dry pot on the table.
As soon as I heard the voice, I knew it was the person who had spoken outside my door. I looked in the direction he was pointing, and sure enough, it was a dry pot! Most importantly, the flames under the small pot were burning brightly.
"That's right, this is it!" I excitedly got out of bed and looked at the dry pot in front of me with joy.
Wow, this smells delicious! But now is not the time to eat, we have important business to attend to.
I glanced at the burly man behind me, who showed no sign of leaving. I sat down, picked up my chopsticks, and tapped them on the table. "Why aren't you leaving yet?"
"I'm looking at you."
"Get out! I don't like people watching me eat. I'll call you in when I'm done."
The big man thought for a moment, and since I had no magic power anyway, and he was guarding the door, I couldn't escape no matter what. So he closed the door and waited outside.
As soon as the big man left, I was eager to take the pot off the stove. "Ah, it's so hot!" In my haste, I reached out and touched it with my bare hands, but the burning pain immediately made me back down. My body, without any magical power, was indeed weak.
"What's wrong?" The big man knocked on the door and asked when he heard me shouting.
"It's okay, this dish is just too hot," I replied, blowing on my fingers to cool them down.
After waiting a while and seeing no further movement outside, I felt relieved and continued my actions.
