The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 405

Just as Beauty's kick was flying his way, Daniel caught her by the ankle.

"Ah!" Beauty yelped, sounding almost charming in her surprise.

"Country kid! You pervert! Let go of me!"

"Shouldn't you be calling me 'dear' instead?"

"Get lost!"

Beauty bent over and pummeled Daniel with several hard punches, determined to teach this country boy a lesson.

Soldier had sent someone to fetch a hen, and the group then headed for the hills. Daniel was holding the chicken and whispering advice to its ear.

"Chicken, you need to behave! No straying, alright? You walk where I tell you. If you don’t, and you get eaten by the big kitty, you can't blame me!"

Daniel's talk with the chicken left Beauty speechless.

"Are you... talking to the chicken?"

"I mean, I'm not talking to you, chicken—unless you’re one, right?"

"You... Keep spouting nonsense, and I swear, I'll rip your mouth off! You jerk, you absolute bastard!"

"Is it wrong to say you're not a chicken? Unless, you are?"

"You..."

Incensed, Beauty clenched her fists at her hips and yelled, "You're the chicken! Your whole family is made of chickens!"

"You know all about my relationship with Jessica. So, technically, my whole family includes you! By saying my family is made of chickens, you're including yourself in that! Really going for it, aren't you, Beauty?"
