The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 418 Win-Win

In fact, Beauty's intuition told her Daniel probably had the ability to find the Tiger King. Likewise, her intuition convinced her that with only ten minutes left, it was impossible for Daniel to locate the Tiger King. Consequently, Beauty’s heart was blooming with joy. She wanted Daniel to lose, but she also wished the Tiger King to be found. Losing Daniel and finding the Tiger King would indeed be a win- win situation.

Noticing Daniel was staring intently at a crooked tree, Beauty, puzzled, poked him gently in the waist. "Ouch!" Daniel exclaimed cheerfully. His mock annoyance piqued Beauty's curiosity. "What? You!" She couldn't help but respond with a playful retort. Spending time with the country kid had rubbed off on her; his shamelessness seemed to have infected her, and she unconsciously enjoyed their less than serious banter—even if it was just that, a joke.

"What are you staring at that crooked tree for? You think there's a beauty up there?" Beauty teased.

"Yes!" Daniel replied earnestly, nodding. "There is a beauty—a great one at that! However, compared to you, Beauty, she falls a bit short. And compared to Jessica, well, it's no contest."

"What do you mean? You're saying I'm not as pretty as Jessica?"

"Yes! I'm just an honest man telling the truth. Honest men like me are rare these days."

"You... You're anything but honest! You're a bastard!" Beauty pointed at the crooked tree, asking, "Where's this great beauty you mentioned?"

"Come on out, beauty!" Daniel called out.

Suddenly, the crooked tree emitted white smoke, enveloping the vicinity in a haze. A woman in a red dress emerged gracefully from a hollow in the tree.
