The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 406 Making a Bet

"If you keep talking nonsense, country kid, believe me, I'll record you and show Jessica!"

Beauty was out of options and played her trump card, knowing that this country kid feared nothing but Jessica. The thought of it stirred a strange feeling in her heart—was it possible she was jealous?

Daniel immediately shut up at the mention of recording for Jessica, not daring to utter another word. Beauty found his silence oddly disconcerting. Without him teasing her, she felt uneasy.

Seeking to provoke a response, she questioned him about the still chicken lying on the ground, "What's the deal with it? Why doesn't it run away when it's on the ground? Shouldn't a chicken be like you, running wild once it's free?"

"This here is a regular hen, but after meeting me, it's become a well-organized, disciplined hen. It moves when I say move. If I say east, it won't go west."

Before Daniel could finish, Beauty interrupted with disbelief, "Bull!"

"Bull? I don't spout bull. If you don't believe me, let me show you." Daniel pointed at the hen and commanded cheerfully, "Walk two steps forward!"

After his order, to Beauty's utter amazement, the hen actually started walking—it took precisely two steps forward and stopped without any extra movements.

"You actually have the hen following your commands?"

"Money can do anything, right? Commanding a hen is no big deal."

"Wow! This hen listens so well, how much did you pay it?"

"Chickens don't need money. It wants bugs, so I promised to give it some if it behaved."

Soldier couldn't suppress a sarcastic chuckle in response to Daniel's claim.
