The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 409 Beauty Is Stunned

Soldier’s request immediately furrowed Beauty's brow. "Are you trying to play tricks? How on earth can a hen do math?" she questioned.

"If this hen truly listens to this country boy, it means it can be domesticated. Monkeys in the circus can do math, so this hen should be able to as well. If it can't, then it proves the country kid can’t control it. Then he’s lost, and he has to kneel and call me 'grandpa!'" Soldier’s logic was clearly a desperate grasp, but Beauty decided not to interject and turned to Daniel instead.

"What do you make of his challenge?" she asked, finding the whole spectacle increasingly amusing.

"Math problems?" Daniel nodded thoughtfully. "Alright! Since Soldier here has made the request, I'll oblige. You set the math questions, and I'll have the hen answer."

"Remember, country kid, you agreed to this. Don't back out when you lose."

"Whoever chickens out, is a chicken!" Daniel chuckled.

Beauty couldn’t resist joining in, jokingly prodding Daniel, "That means you’re a chicken."

"Beauty, you like puppies?" Daniel shot back, playing along.

"Puppies are adorable, of course, I like them."

"You like the cuteness of puppies, right? Or is it because puppies lick you?"

"Get out of here!" Beauty shot Daniel a look and retorted, "You’re so inappropriate!"

"But you like it when I’m inappropriate. If I were all prim and proper, it wouldn’t be as fun, right?"

The two engaged in their own world of playful banter, becoming increasingly risqué. Soldier felt like an outsider, and worse, a forgotten one.
