The members of the Time Bubble were all up and about after some good rest. They were feeling relaxed and were having a chit-chat while having breakfast. Well, at least that's what it was, according to Lan's body clock.

A few moments later, the juniors appeared in the room, making many of them smile in excitement, seeing the kids back. The four of them took their seats just as the screen flared, and a grinning image of Wei WuXian in Mo XuanYu's face appeared on the screen.

'Hellooooooooo..... my dear cutiepies (causing the audience to cringe at him. But they only shook their heads in exasperation because there was nothing they could do about that incorrigible man. How are you all doing?'

'Oh, we are perfectly well, Wei-xiong. By the way, long time no see,' Nie Huaisang chirped happily.

'Ah! Well, I won't say that because I just came back the previous day after meeting you only, I mean the future you. Hehehe...' and though WuXian was giggling, one could see the distress it caused him after mentioning the future Huaisang. It confused the hell out of Huaisang himself, but he dared not ask his friend, for he didn't want to disappoint himself. Not right now. He knew his future self won't be okay or normal after Da-ge's death. But he would like to wait and understand the whole process instead of jumping onto conclusions. He wasn't as much of a idiot as people liked to believe.

'Okay. Let's leave all of that for now. I had something else to tell you all. The two most important points:- food and rest.' Wei WuXian announced, successfully gaining everyone's attention.

'Yeah, even I wanted to know just how this room was able to conjure food out of nothing. After all, this shouldn't be physically possible,' Meng Yao pointed out.

'Ah! It's nice to see someone actually noticing it. You seem to be quite well informed for someone who hasn't had much or anything to do with cultivation at all.' Wei WuXian praised him, causing him to slightly curl into himself at being noticed by anybody else.

Noticing his action, Wei WuXian immediately tried to calm him down, 'Hey, hey, hey, relax. It's okay. I just felt it was nice to see someone scholarly, even if it wasn't about cultivation.'

Meng Yao relaxed while Jin GuangShan's cogs ran in his brain. Jin Ling immediately understood his gaze and literally wanted to smash his useless grandfather's head into the wall. At least that way, no one would have to suffer from his pig worthy gaze.

Amidst all these, Lan WangJi's icy glare was stuck on Meng Yao such that if it had any real power, Meng Yao would have already been 6 ft below the ground. Unable to do anything else, he just put his hand directly on his husband's private part that wasn't visible on the screen. Wei WuXian almost squeaked and looked at his husband in bewilderment while thinking, 'And people think I am incorrigible. Look at his audacity in front of all these innocent onlookers. Even our kids are there. So are our parents. Urghhh... This is so unfair, Lan Zhaaannn...'

Well, may be not all because Wen Ruohan knew just what was going on behind that screen. Though Lan WangJi wasn't visible on the screen, he could guess it very easily from Wei WuXian's slight slip in expression and their interactions both in this room and in the simulation, too. Also, he had put QiRen many a times under such torture to not know about it at first glance.

Unaware of all this, Wei WuXian controlled his expression and continued, 'First of all, the food you all get is from our current timeline because yours is still sleeping, as in stopped. So the food prepared in the sects in our timeline are supplied to you all according to your taste palates. The Wens are getting what Wen Ning had directed the Ouyang chefs to prepare.'

Everyone was satisfied with the answers while the Wens were looking at Wen Ning, who cowered behind his sister.

'Secondly,' Wei WuXian continued, 'The concept of night and day is very different in the simulation in comparison to that of the normal. One day of the simulation equals 8 days in the normal world. You all don't age as well because time has essentially stopped for you. So, your body feels fatigue of one whole day after eight days according to normal time. You can calculate the one day with the Lan's body clock that must have already adjusted with that of the simulation.'
