Chapter 2642: Be Polite

The man said fiercely, he had really run out of patience with this Fire Spirit Chicken that kept escaping.

Raising it for so long and still unable to tame it, what's the use of keeping it?

After saying that, the man stormed out of the house; the woman, however, wasn't too worried.

Apart from their tribe, there were no other tribes around, and there was no danger.

They had gone out to look for that Fire Spirit Chicken before, and each time they found it.

They didn't even know this rooster was domesticated by someone, and its name was Fire Spirit Chicken.

However, looking at its fiery red, glossy and smooth feathers, the name was truly not mistaken.

By then, the people had already spontaneously built a stove; without Ye Zhangqing needing to speak, their practiced movements were heart-wrenching.

One could tell this wasn't their first time doing this; they were quite adept at it.

As for that Fire Spirit Chicken, it was also scalded and plucked by everyone, and under Ye Zhangqing's direction, it was cleaned thoroughly.

The feathers were plucked out one by one, and the meat inside was indeed exceptionally tender and white, exactly as everyone had guessed.

Consequently, everyone looked forward even more to the chicken's flavor; at a glance it was completely different from the spirit chickens of the Immortal Realm, not even the same breed.

"Just looking at this meat quality, the flavor is definitely not going to be bad."

"That's right."

"I can't help but drool already."

After the ingredients were prepared, Ye Zhangqing began cooking, while everyone waited eagerly at the side.

However, just as the chicken meat hit the pot, suddenly a roar came.

"Who are you? Where is my Fire Spirit Chicken?"

"Huh???"

Faced with this sudden shout, everyone froze for a moment, then turned toward the sound.

They saw a burly man over three meters tall, humanoid in shape but with different features.

His ears were pointed on top, hair grew on both cheeks, and his teeth were extremely sharp.

Like a human, yet also like a monkey that hasn't finished shedding its fur.

Looking at the newcomer, everyone unconsciously furrowed their brows, again like this……

Before this burly man appeared, nobody had sensed his presence—not even the two Heavenly Palace Celestial Officials detected any aura.

Only when he got right up in their faces and revealed himself did they see him.

The concealment of aura by the beings of this realm is truly somewhat absurd.

One or two might be understandable, but now encountering three different kinds of beings in a row, all like this.

"What the heck, this is the innate divine ability of the beings of this realm."

Naturally, no one wants this feeling; after all, being unable to sense danger beforehand is like not knowing when danger will come, making it hard to prepare in advance, which invisibly increases the chance of danger for everyone.

Facing the crowd's gaze, the burly man also furrowed his brows and shouted impatiently.

"Who are you? What are you doing here? I've never seen you before."

"When the burly man spoke, to everyone's ears it was just a bunch of gibberish bird-talk; they couldn't understand a single word."

"What nonsense is he saying?"

"I don't know; I didn't understand anything."

"It sounds like it's not human speech."

"Nonsense, if it were human speech we'd have understood it already."

"Then what the heck is this?"

Everyone looked at the burly man with puzzled faces, then at each other, whispering their discussion.

The sound of their discussion reached the burly man's ears, but it was also just a bunch of gibberish to him, and he understood nothing in the end.

This made the already irritable burly man even more impatient; he raised his voice and shouted.

"What are you gibbering about?"

"What are you barking for?"

"Where is my Fire Spirit Chicken?"

"We don't understand."

After a futile conversation like talking past each other, everyone simply gave up.

They're not of the same race, making communication difficult.

As for Tianlin, he turned his head to look at Ye Zhangqing nearby and asked.

"Brother Ye, is this thing edible?"

Tianlin didn't care about anything else, only whether this was food; but to his disappointment, Ye Zhangqing shook his head, indicating it wasn't.

Ye Zhangqing had already been leaning on the Tǎng yǐ, with the chicken soup simmering on the nearby stove, so he didn't need to worry constantly.

Also, only at the moment the burly man appeared did Ye Zhangqing glance at him; after confirming the system had no reaction, he lost interest.

It wasn't even food.

Afterwards, since they still couldn't communicate, interest waned even more.

Since they couldn't understand each other, it was naturally impossible to learn more about this realm from the burly man.

He was useless either way; why bother with him?

As Ye Zhangqing shook his head, everyone present also lost interest.

The leading Heavenly Palace Celestial Official went further, gesturing while speaking.

"We don't understand what you're saying; please leave."

"Sure, they couldn't understand his words, but the burly man gradually grasped the gestures."

After all, this gesture isn't complicated; simply put, it means you should leave quickly, so this Heavenly Palace Celestial Official kept waving his hand, signaling the strong man to leave early.

Having understood the gesture's meaning, the strong man not only did not leave, but flew into a rage.

He understood the gesture's meaning, but not fully, so he angrily shouted.

"You're telling me to scram? You've got guts."

Hmm???

Looking at the strong man's furious face, although they couldn't understand the language, everyone still sensed something was off.

How did he suddenly get angry like that?

We didn't do anything; just now that celestial official's words were already quite polite.

We were merely indicating that the strong man should leave quickly; since we couldn't communicate, we might as well stay out of each other's way.

The main thing is, don't disturb them while they're eating.

Look, the chicken soup is almost ready, we'll be able to eat soon—why are you lingering here?

Wanting to mooch a meal is obviously impossible.

But the strong man didn't grasp the meaning, only thinking he'd been insulted; these people he'd never seen before dared to tell him to scram.

For a moment, the strong man's eyes bulged, his gaze burning with fury as he stared at the celestial official making the gesture, his teeth clenched, looking as if he wanted to devour someone.

Faced with such a ferocious stare, the celestial official who had spoken was completely bewildered.

"What's wrong with him? To me he looks like he wants to eat someone."

"I don't know, but judging by that appearance, he seems to really want to swallow you whole."

Upon hearing that, another Heavenly Palace Celestial Official replied.

The two of them looked together at the strong man glaring angrily.

"How strange, I didn't do anything—why is he suddenly so worked up?"

"Maybe it's a language barrier; he misunderstood the meaning."

"What should we do? I can't understand what he's saying either, and I've already gestured."

"Never mind; maybe he'll leave on his own later—after all, we haven't resorted to force yet."
