At the crack of dawn, Zhang Zian and the elfins were once again startled awake by the noise of firecrackers coming from outside.

It was louder than usual since it was New Year's Eve, the day for families to reunite and ring the new year in.

Setting off firecrackers on New Year's were said to be a method to repel a monster known as ”Nian.” The method slowly turned into a tradition, but nowadays, due to how dangerous it was and concerns of air pollution, many big cities forbid setting off firecrackers.

Last night, Zhang Zian couldn't really sleep and knew that Pi couldn't either, as it constantly moved around. Even though Pi softened its movements, the ivy chair still let out soft creaks. It was only once it was close to daybreak did Pi finally fall asleep.

Pi woke up startled by the noise, it sat up from the ivy chair, planning to turn on the computer.

”Pi, wait! Don't go on the computer today. How about taking a break?” Zhang Zian stopped Pi. ”Didn't you already upload the VIP chapter for today? You can leave the next chapter for tomorrow.”

Pi scratched its head, looking back and forth between Zhang Zian and the computer. It seemed like it really wanted to go the computer, to work and see if there was an increase in adds.

Pi was used to typing every day, and now that it was told that it didn't need to work today, it'd be hard for it not to feel a little uncomfortable.

”Pi, all of us are heading out today. Do you want to stay at home alone?” Zhang Zian asked. ”I know today is an important day for you and your readers, but you could at least take a break, right?”

Pi stared into Zhang Zian eyes as it nodded.

”Hold your horses! What do you mean 'all of us?'” Fina yawned. ”I, the queen, didn't know that we'd be leaving today. A commoner shall not make decisions for the queen! I have yet to settle my business with you two, making so much noise last night and disrupting my sleep!”

Pi shrank back and hid behind Zhang Zian.

”Meow! Your Majesty, in my opinion, there is only one reason a male misbehaves, and that's because they aren't castrated.” Snowy Lionet glanced at Zhang Zian's groin, licking its paws. ”As long as Your Majesty gives the orders, I'll be at your disposal, like a dog or horse.”

”You're a cat, what do you mean 'like a dog or horse?'” Zhang Zian closed his legs and kept his guard up as he scoffed.

”Is that even a question? It's obviously because dogs and horses have a lower status than cats,” Snowy Lionet responded with its head held high.

Famous stood up. ”I'll pretend I didn't hear that.”

”Stop fighting! Only parrots are superior, everyone else is of a lower status,” Richard said from under the blanket.

Zhang Zian pointed at it. ”You get out here! I've yet to settle our issue from last night.”

Richard flew out, rolled its eyes, and said, ”What happened last night? I don't remember, but I take responsibility for whatever I did.”

Zhang Zian thought, Stupid bird, acting like a fool, trying to confuse us.
