The Daily Life of the Immortal King

Chapter 40: Dopey the Cool and Aloof Parrot

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After morning radio gymnastics was over, Old Antique arranged to meet Wang Ling in a small corner for a chat during the afternoon break.

It wasn't anything out of the ordinary, just about his performance in the radio gymnastics as usual.

Wang Ling did understand the situation very clearly. After all, they had come here this time as representatives of their school, and since they were at another school, they had to be even more aware of their image and temperament. The vast majority of teachers believed that no matter how smooth one was with a spirit sword or how proficient in drawing a Dao talisman, only the ordinary radio gymnastics could best embody a student's spirit.

This was the reason why until now, even in the Scientific Cultivation era, cultivation schools still hadn't banned radio gymnastics.

Fortunately, Old Antique was a gentle man. Being approachable had always been one of his special traits, plus he had attended the teachers' regular meeting in the morning... he seemed to have found his springtime, so he was in a particularly good mood. He just told Wang Ling that he should pay attention to his image as a student representing No. 60 High School, then patted his butt and walked away, a spring in his step.

Lightly, Old Antique left... as lightly as he had come...

Seeing Old Antique's buoyant mood, Wang Ling instantly composed this poem in his heart.

A dopey, artsy youth who had fallen into the river of love...

Sure enough, people in love were all touched in the head!

This was the first time that Wang Ling felt that there was something wrong with this bouncy Old Antique.

...

After the private chat with Old Antique, Wang Ling casually thought of something.

If it had been Teacher Pan with her raging temper instead of Old Antique who had dragged him into that corner, Wang Ling felt that given her character, she wouldn't have been able to stop herself from smacking him around... thinking of this, he couldn't help shuddering.

The last person who had forcefully hit him had been Eldest Young Master Xu Ying of the Three Young Masters of Burying Love, and his grave was covered with grass taller than three meters now... either way, whether it was a responsibility to Teacher Pan, or even more so to the people around him, Wang Ling was more certain than ever that it was necessary to brainwash the entire nation on the night of the next full moon!

...

In the afternoon, Old Antique sent a WeChat message for everyone to gather in No. 59 High School's gymnasium.

There were only two days left to the crucial spirit sword exchange meet. As the teacher leading the team, he felt it was necessary for them to train accordingly.

No. 59 High School's gymnasium was very large. In most Foundation Establishment high schools now, the interior of such a large place would contain another space. From the outside it didn't look very big, but the area inside had been expanded using the Space Expansion Skill.

In fact, space expansion was very common. Take for example the storage pockets of the school uniform and Old Antique's snack drawer, which surpassed a supermarket's inventory... this simple skill of enlarging a space area was now already very commonly practiced and was completely a part of everyday life.

And the biggest benefit was that it had significantly lowered property prices.

It made it impossible for the deeply-hated real estate speculators to stir up trouble...

"Strange, why hasn't Teacher Wang showed up?" Feather Lin asked, puzzled. They were in a sectioned-off training area in No. 59 High School's gymnasium and had been waiting for some time.

Everyone's impression of Old Antique had always been of a punctual man.

"Let's wait a little longer." Lotus Sun also frowned softly and felt that it was very strange. Generally, as long as it was Old Antique who arranged the time, he would either arrive before or on the dot, and would never be so easily late.

"He wouldn't have run into trouble, right?" Feather Lin said again.

"..." Lotus Sun was silent.

She had personally witnessed Old Antique's true prowess. Moreover, his identity was a mystery, and even Huaguo Water Curtain Group hadn't been able to find anything on his background. Given the type of man he was, it could already be considered not bad if he didn't stir up trouble with other people.

"..." Wang Ling was also silent.

He carefully considered Feather Lin's words and felt that what this fujoshi said was actually reasonable, because Old Antique had indeed run into trouble... if being lucky in love could be called trouble.

While everyone was discussing Old Antique, in the end, speak of the devil, and he shall appear...

From outside the gym, a stout figure stood silhouetted in the dazzling sunlight, casting a long shadow on the ground.

Although they couldn't see the person's face clearly, from the shadow on the ground, everyone knew who it was.

In the next moment, this shadow suddenly sprang up like a ghost, giving everyone a fright.

Then, they watched in silent astonishment as a large fatty came bounding up to them... Super Chen, Hero Guo, Lotus Sun and Feather Lin were dumbfounded.

"..."

Now it wasn't just Wang Ling; other people could also tell... there was something wrong with Old Antique today!

...

Old Antique's small, fat face was flushed and radiant like a blooming peach blossom. Sunlight seemed to pour out of his mouth as he laughed, it was too damn blinding!

"Did he win the lottery? Or level up to the legendary five kills 1 ?" The corners of Super Chen's mouth twitched, an uncomprehending expression on his face. He himself felt that he was a fairly ignorant type of person, but if he could tell with one look that there was something off with Old Antique... then it wasn't a simple problem, but a really big one!

Of course, Wang Ling was probably the only person in No. 60 High School who knew why Old Antique was so happy. Very regretfully, Wang Ling didn't like to gossip, so his mouth was sealed.

This situation really made Master of Dopey want to choke...

As No. 60 High School's famous gossip line, the grand master who knew everything, this was the first time Hero Guo felt that his reputation was in danger.

"Seems like you don't really know everything," Super Chen deliberately teased.

"Is that a challenge?" Hero Guo raised his eyebrow.

There was actually something he didn't know?

Impossible!

He held his arm out horizontally and Dopey the parrot hopped off his shoulder, turning its head to groom its white feathers. A normal parrot would speak from time to time as it imitated the words it heard, but Dopey was an intelligent parrot. In Master of Dopey Hero Guo's own words, it would only speak when he allowed it to; apart from that, it didn't even dare fart.

It was because everyone firmly believed in these words that Hero Guo had obtained the title "Master of Dopey." In everyone's eyes, this was probably the most remarkable pet Master of Dopey had ever trained since he became involved in the soul pet business.

"If even you don't know what's going on with Old Antique, do you expect Dopey to tell you?" Super Chen couldn't help laughing.

"Dopey, show this bumpkin your ability! Don't let our Soul Servant Shop lose face!" Hero Guo pointed at Dopey, so worked up that he was spitting saliva. The Soul Servant Shop he had mentioned was actually the name of his family's ancestral store for soul pets.

In fact, at the beginning of the semester, Wang Ling had found that Dopey the parrot wasn't so simple. He had privately given it another nickname, "Ice Sculpture." Because it didn't like to talk, it hadn't said much all this time as it maintained an attitude all day long that wasn't happy or sad, disillusioned with human society.

Wang Ling's Mind-Reading Ability, which was usually an open channel, had never received a single thing from Dopey's mind, which was enough to show how cool and aloof this parrot was.

That was, until now. When Hero Guo's saliva sprayed onto the pure white feathers that Dopey was proud of... Dopey finally couldn't take it anymore!

It rolled its eyes disgustedly at Hero Guo, then Wang Ling heard it curse vehemently in its heart: this f**king retard! Don't you know this boss likes to be clean!

Hearing Dopey's thoughts for the first time, Wang Ling was startled in his heart; he had never expected that Dopey, who preferred to not speak, would in this situation actually burst out because of its neat freak tendencies... it seemed not only was it a cool and aloof parrot, it was also a parrot with a bad temper.

Furthermore, from the unabashed and genuinely haughty attitude in Dopey's heart, Wang Ling felt that perhaps all this time, Master of Dopey Hero Guo, who was this parrot's owner and gave people the impression that he was a parrot expert...

...Didn't seem to know as much about his own parrot as he thought he did...
