Landlord in the Arctic

Chapter 287 - 242: Make Me Explode

"Dad!"

Suddenly, the grey parrot perched on his shoulder squawked at Feng Shan.

Everyone present broke into smiles. They figured the parrot must have learned the word from a child who came to the rescue center with their father to volunteer.

He’d found himself a parrot for a son.

Feng Shan was absolutely delighted. He looked at Director Lawrence and said, "Sir, can I adopt him... no, Loki, first? The other parrots can be processed with the tiger’s adoption paperwork."

"Yes, as long as the paperwork is completed, there shouldn’t be a problem," Director Lawrence said with a smile.

"Thank you so much!" Feng Shan quickly reached out a finger to scratch the grey parrot’s chin. "Loki, say ’Dad’!"

"Dad, Dad, yes!" the grey parrot obediently chirped, but that last "yes" was in a peculiar tone, mimicking a woman’s voice.

An immediate and palpable awkwardness fell over the group.

The smile on Director Lawrence’s face froze instantly. Feng Shan was so embarrassed he could have dug a hole in the floor with his toes.

"Uh, let’s go see the next exhibit. I remember there are other animals," North said, brazenly changing the subject.

If he hadn’t misheard, the grey parrot’s voice was a perfect imitation of Tuney’s.

As for what Tuney had been doing...

Any man could figure it out.

"Right, right, we have other animals. I recall we have an injured Himalayan Vulture, from Feng’s homeland."

Director Lawrence, as if suddenly remembering this, quickly turned while speaking and led the group away from the parrot enclosure, striding quickly down another corridor.

But just then.

Two young women emerged from deeper inside the rescue center. It was none other than Tuney and Dana.

Each of them held a broom, looking like they had just finished cleaning a section of the center.

Tuney and Dana looked up and saw the director with Feng Shan and his group. Tuney’s eyes immediately lit up, and a delighted smile bloomed on her face.

"Feng, so you’re here! Let me give you a tour of the rescue center. We have a lot of poor, stray animals here."

At that moment, Tuney only had eyes for Feng Shan, her meal ticket. Especially after they had parted ways earlier, she had looked up some information about him online. Tuney had then secretly sworn to herself that she would get Feng Shan into bed.

Just like a groupie, she planned to sleep with a rich man, get pregnant, and then sue for a massive amount in child support.

Feng Shan was oblivious to the girl’s intentions. As for his godson Loki’s mimicry, he considered that part of her private life.

The feminist movement has had a profound impact on the attitudes of American women toward sex. Feminism emphasizes a woman’s sexual autonomy—the right to make decisions about her own body—which has led many young women to focus more on their own pleasure and needs in sexual matters.

According to recent surveys on sex in the United States, the average age for a girl’s first time is 16.9. Of course, in more conservative areas, like small towns and rural communities in the Midwest, some girls are still more traditional due to the influence of religion and family values. Mormon communities, for example, are even stricter.

Seeing that Feng Shan just smiled without giving a clear verbal response, Tuney took it as tacit approval and was secretly overjoyed.

She quickly struck a cute and charming pose, clasping her hands tightly in front of her chest. Her eyes widened with anticipation as she pleaded with Director Lawrence.

"Mr. Lawrence, please let me take Feng on the tour from here! I’m very familiar with the rescue center; I’m sure I can be an excellent guide for Mr. Feng!"

Tuney swayed her body slightly as she spoke, her eager and adorable act making it seem as if she were worried the director might refuse.

However, at that very moment, something completely unexpected happened.

Loki, the grey parrot who had been perched on Feng Shan’s shoulder, seemed to have a special switch flipped by the sound of Tuney’s voice. In a loud voice that was a perfect replica of Tuney’s, right down to the tone, it squawked:

"Ben, darling, faster! Faster! Make me explode! Explode!"

The sudden outburst instantly silenced the previously lively atmosphere.

Everyone froze as if hit by an Immobilization Spell, their smiles stiffening on their faces.

Director Lawrence’s mouth hung open, his face a mask of astonishment.

North covered his face with his hands, while the other rescue center staff struggled to hold back their laughter.

As for the "Ben" the grey parrot mentioned, everyone at the rescue center knew him.

He was another college student volunteer, the captain of the University of Anchorage football team, apparently.

To think the two of them had been doing *that* right next to the parrot enclosure, and the parrot had seen them.

Tuney’s eyes went wide, and her cheeks flushed crimson. She was both mortified and at a complete loss.

She never could have imagined that what happened that day would be mimicked by this parrot and broadcast in front of so many people.

Feng Shan raised an eyebrow slightly.

He turned to look at Loki, the grey parrot, who was rocking back and forth on his shoulder. It looked like it was getting worked up, its beak opening and closing. Figuring it was about to say something even worse, Feng Shan quickly clamped his hand over its beak.

’Can’t let it mimic anymore.’

’If you keep this up, your little bird life is forfeit.’

"Mr. Lawrence, where did you say that Himalayan Vulture was? I’m very interested."

"Yes, this way. Please follow me." Director Lawrence also knew that leaving was the best solution right now, so he quickly turned and led the way.

Seeing this, the others felt too awkward to stay behind.

They had no choice but to follow.

After everyone had gone, Dana looked with pity at Tuney, who was still frozen in place.

...

The little incident just now was like a small ripple on a calm lake; it didn’t stir up any significant waves in Feng Shan’s heart or affect his good mood in the slightest.
