Chapter 624: Pheasant

Hearing this knocking sound, Earth-Mouse keenly turned his head back, showing a puzzled expression.

“Pig and Dog bosses, you two stop fighting.” Earth-Mouse said in a low voice. “Something seems wrong.”

He quickly thought it over, realizing that even if there was a team yesterday instigating various ‘zodiacs’ to rebel, today starting at eleven o’clock noon, “Heavenly Horse Moment” had been launched. Although it ended at one o’clock, the people afterward absolutely couldn’t have participated in any games to win over new ‘zodiacs.’

So who could be knocking at the door…?

Was it someone who was missed yesterday?

Everyone quieted down, all looking toward the door.

“Dong dong dong dong dong.”

A continuous yet somewhat faint knocking sound kept ringing out, making everyone furrow their brows.

Only Earth-Tiger’s expression completely changed. One could only say that Brother Sheep was Brother Sheep—anyone else would never have been able to anticipate this step.

“Open the door. The eighth person in our team is about to arrive.” Earth-Tiger said with a smile.

Black Sheep looked at him with some skepticism, then slowly walked to the door and reached out to pull it open.

It was a female ‘Earth-Chicken.’

She had a slender figure with exceptionally intricate patterns on her body. Although called an ‘Earth-Chicken,’ she looked somewhat like a francolin.

“Good evening, everyone.” Earth-Chicken smiled sweetly, but the veins on her forehead bulged.

Black Sheep looked at her somewhat uncomprehendingly, then turned back to look at everyone in the room. “Anyone’s friend?”

No one knew her. Everyone felt somewhat puzzled at this moment, while Earth-Tiger carefully sized up this Earth-Chicken.

She looked a bit familiar. He only knew that she seemed to live in the room to his left, but over many years there had been no interaction.

He had been living here ever since he signed the “Zodiac Ascension Gambling Contract,” but there truly was no need to establish good relations with neighbors.

“Um…” Earth-Tiger asked very politely, “Little miss, what can we do for you?”

“‘Little miss’? Fine, fine, fine.”

Earth-Chicken continued smiling and walked to the center of the room.

Under everyone’s gaze, she took a deep breath, then used all her strength to shout, “In the middle of the fucking night, aren’t you people sleeping?!”

Because the voice was so loud, everyone felt as if an explosion had appeared out of thin air in the room. They only heard their ears ringing—they were about to be deafened.

Black Sheep also quickly closed the door to prevent any complications.

“How many times?! I’m asking you how many times?!” Earth-Chicken shouted fiercely. “Our two rooms are separated by just one wooden wall!! Do you see it?! That’s wood!! That’s not a KTV soundproof wall!!”

Everyone’s faces showed embarrassment, but no one dared to talk back.

“Every night a whole bunch of people gather here!! Either drinking or fighting!!” Earth-Chicken looked around at everyone, the smile on her face long gone. “Don’t you all think you’re disturbing people?! Huh?!”

“No… miss… calm down…” Earth-Tiger was a bit confused. “We, we’re just chatting here… I…”

“Chatting?!” After hearing this, Earth-Chicken took a few steps to stand in front of Earth-Tiger, staring into his eyes. Her sharp beak looked like it was about to poke into Earth-Tiger’s face. “Are you deaf?! Huh?! Just now! Did you hear those two ‘bang’ sounds or not?! Do your ears have diarrhea?!”

“They… they… they were just playing around…”

Earth-Tiger smiled awkwardly, feeling that this “eighth person” was vastly different from what he had imagined.

She had only made her entrance for one minute and was able to make everyone in the room shut their mouths. Only he could still exchange a few words with her.

“Playing around? Ha ha! Playing around?!” Earth-Chicken looked very angry. Her feather-covered hands crossed in front of her chest, the veins on her forehead throbbing. “Just now that sound made me fucking think there was a car accident, and you’re telling me it’s playing around? What, racing cars in the middle of the night?”

“No, no… listen to me first…” Earth-Tiger laughed awkwardly. “Why don’t you sit down for a bit?”

Earth-Mouse also came to his senses at this moment and hurriedly stepped forward saying, “Boss, boss, please don’t be angry. You originally looked quite like a quail, but now that you’re angry you look more like a hen…”

“Get lost!!!!” Earth-Chicken shouted. “What’s wrong with you?!”

Earth-Mouse was nearly scared out of his wits by that shout and could only close his mouth resentfully.

“You dead rat, say less!” Earth-Tiger stepped forward and gave Earth-Mouse a hard shove, then looked at Earth-Chicken. “Miss, miss… sit down first! Any visitor is a guest. We didn’t mean it. Don’t be so angry.”

Earth-Chicken angrily grabbed a stool and sat down, then crossed her legs. “I won’t talk about anything else. I’m just asking you—can you all be a bit quieter in the future? It’s already past midnight now. Do you all have this much energy?! I could tolerate it the first and second time, but this is already the third consecutive night. Are you all planning never to let people sleep again?!”

“Look how angry this girl is… oh my…” Earth-Tiger felt somewhat sympathetic and quickly turned back to wave at Earth-Pig and Earth-Dog. “Little Pig, Doggie, don’t just stand there! Come apologize to the quail!”

“Who’s a quail!!!” Earth-Chicken’s anger, which had just subsided, instantly exploded. She flew into a rage. “Earth-Tiger! Are you doing this on purpose?!”

“Ah! Really not!” Earth-Tiger quickly waved his hands. “Damn it, it’s all that dead rat’s fault for mentioning quail. I said it out of habit… please don’t be angry… Miss Hen…”

“Ahhhhh!” Earth-Chicken seemed to be having a bit of a breakdown. She kept scratching the feathers on her head. “I’m really going to be annoyed to death. What’s wrong with you people?!”

Everyone at this moment completely didn’t know what to do. A group of burly men encountered this situation and were all completely confused.

Moreover, thinking about it carefully, they were indeed in the wrong first. For three consecutive days, they had not only been shouting loudly in this room, but these past two days they had even started fighting.

When two Earth-level zodiacs fought, the commotion they created was no less than a car accident, and this girl in the next room was affected by them.

Earth-Dog slowly stood up at this moment and walked forward two steps. “It is indeed our fault. I apologize to you. I’m truly sorry.”

His tone was quite sincere, and Earth-Chicken’s expression also softened somewhat.

“I’m not being unreasonable, am I?” Earth-Chicken said. “I just want to come ask you all what exactly you’re doing here? Will it be like this every day from now on?”

“No, no, no… Chicken boss, rest assured.” Earth-Mouse also walked over with a face full of smiles at this moment. “This matter will end soon. You’ll be able to sleep well from now on.”

“Really…?” Earth-Chicken asked somewhat uncertainly.

“Really…” Earth-Mouse stared into Earth-Chicken’s eyes for a long time, then suddenly changed his question. “Chicken boss, do you know ‘Qi Xia’?”

As soon as these words fell, everyone looked at him.

After hearing this, Earth-Chicken pondered for a few seconds and said, “That person seems to have died in my game. What about it?”
