PDLP Chapter 111 The Nightingale
Chapter 111 The Nightingale
"Hey! It's this brat who dares to tug at my clothes again and again. Does he think I'm made of paper?!"
While William was talking about the little devil in his eyes, he didn't notice the people around him, who were keeping their distance from him as if they had seen a ghost, staring at him in horror.
"Wh...what brat T^T" The exchange student from the Mammoth Kingdom asked him, his words barely audible.
"Huh?! Can't you see the little devil I'm carrying? Oh ho, it's struggling!"
William laughed and spoke to his companion, but when he turned around and saw his companion staring at him in horror and keeping his distance, he realized something was wrong, and his rampant laughter stiffened.
Then, slowly and deliberately, he asked, "Can't you... see the little guy I'm holding?"
Everyone shook their heads in unison. In William's eyes, the little brat who had been bowing his head and being scolded slowly raised his head, revealing a pale face, a mouthful of sharp teeth, and a ferocious smile.
William yelled and threw the little brat out of his hand, then scrambled towards Yufei and the others. Yufei could smell the stench of urine.
Was he scared out of his wits?!
Yufei, feeling a bit immoral, burst out laughing. William, knowing what Yufei was laughing about, angrily yelled at the Giant Elephant Kingdom group, "I'm getting out! What kind of crappy game is this!"
The people from the Giant Elephant Kingdom innocently said that it had nothing to do with them, and that their elder brother was being mean to them, but they had no choice but to be mean to them to save face.
Cui Yu'an stared at William warily. If he dared to make any further moves against Yufei, he would show him no mercy.
Fortunately, aside from his incompetent rage towards his giant elephant underlings, William didn't do anything excessive.
Yufei also heard Lin Tiantian and the others say they wanted to go out, so their haunted house adventure was declared a failure! Yufei contacted the staff and they were taken out of the house.
The ghost bride's house returned to its usual tranquility, awaiting the arrival of the next destined person, as William, having made a complete fool of himself in front of them, returned home in a fit of rage.
Lin Tiantian and her friends were still shaken from the haunted house, so Yufei took them to a bubble tea shop to have some sweet drinks and desserts to cheer them up.
Zhao Lina suddenly had a stomachache and went to the toilet, which also suited them well as they needed to relax.
He sat in the milk tea shop, drinking sweet drinks, waiting for Zhao Lina. He waited for more than half an hour.
Zhao Lina returned to the milk tea shop, panting.
"Lina! What happened to you? You're covered in sweat. Anyone who knew you would know you went to the bathroom, but anyone who didn't would think you just came back from a marathon."
Zhao Jing looked at Zhao Lina, who seemed to be going to work in the fields, and said in surprise.
Zhao Lina gave an awkward smile, a little uneasy, and said, "I couldn't get it out of the toilet, I strained a bit too much, hahaha."
Actually, Zhao Jing had just asked casually. Hearing Zhao Lina's response, she didn't press for details and joined Yufei and Lin Tiantian's conversation again.
Zhao Lina, who is usually very lively and outgoing, was unusually quiet this time.
Yufei must have noticed her unusual behavior, and so did Cui Yu'an. Cui Yu'an glanced at Yufei and, seeing that Yufei didn't seem to care about Zhao Lina's strange behavior, he didn't interfere.
After the group had their fill of drinks and chatted to help them gradually forget their earlier fear, they resumed their stroll. Because they had just been terrified at the haunted house, they didn't want to visit the ancestral temple there either.
So Yufei and the others went to the gaming area, had lunch nearby, and then she took them to experience Werewolf and PUBG, which brought them a lot of joy. They played for half a day until it got dark.
Longyuan Town began to light up, the ambient lights illuminating the autumn maple leaves, the streamside, and the buildings of Longyuan Town.
Longyuan Town entered another world of night, with the town's stadium shining like a bright light on the banks of the Longyuan River.
"Yufei, let's go listen to some music! I heard that Teacher Nightingale and her students are performing here today!" Zhao Jing said excitedly.
Nightingale was supposed to be Yufei's teacher in Junlin Space, but unfortunately, Yufei was tone-deaf. Singing requires talent, and not a single note of her singing was in tune.
Even a top-notch teacher like Nightingale said she couldn't teach her. Others sing for money, but Yufei's singing is a death sentence. Even the King of Heaven couldn't save her! Who said that?! Nightingale said she did!
If even the Nightingale couldn't save her voice, then no one could. After training Yufei for a while, they both gave up the struggle. Finally, Yufei managed to bring the Nightingale out, at the cost of 10 new species slots.
Level 3 can only have 4 teachers. Nightingale has already exceeded the system's limit, so we can only fill the gap by adding new species.
This slowed down Yufei's progress to level 4 again, but Yufei still felt the exchange was worthwhile.
Nightingale performed at their Longyuan Gymnasium on her very first day. Yufei originally wanted to promote her by announcing that they were selecting apprentices for her.
Nightingale stopped her immediately, telling her to give her a microphone and turn on the speakerphone, the one that could broadcast into town.
Then Nightingale began to sing from the center of the stage, from a soft murmur to a superhuman high note. Despite the incredible volume, her voice wasn't jarring. It was somewhat reminiscent of Vitas, the high-pitched prince from Yufei's past life, but Nightingale's voice was an octave higher.
Like a siren's song, when everyone heard the nightingale's voice, as if receiving some kind of command, they stopped in their tracks, either standing still or finding a comfortable spot to enjoy the music.
The Nightingale's first song to the world is a cheerful melody. It has no lyrics, but you can feel the singer's joy in the humming! It can even transmit that joy to the listener.
Those listening to the nightingale sing had particularly joyful expressions, and their bodies unconsciously swayed to the melody.
After the song ended, everyone asked who had sung it. Nightingale then told them, "Want to hear more songs? Come to Longyuan Gymnasium!"
After saying that, she muted her microphone and sat calmly like Jiang Taigong fishing. Just a few minutes later, someone arrived, panting, and quietly sat in the audience, waiting for the Nightingale to sing.
Yufei knew who the visitors were; they were tourists who had booked a guesthouse in Longyuan Town for two months, calling it a "slow travel" trip.
They were quite relaxed; they happened to be fishing nearby today and heard the nightingale's song and invitation, otherwise they might not have come so quickly.
In less than half an hour, the Longyuan Gymnasium, which can hold 5 people, was completely full, and some people who couldn't find seats even filled the aisle areas.
Government officials who had originally come to listen to the music realized the situation was dire and immediately began working on the spot to maintain order and prevent a stampede.
