Chapter 405 Thick Skin

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 thiscountry boy a lesson.

Soldier had sent someone to fetch a hen, and the group then headed for the hills. Daniel washolding 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 youget 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 ismade of chickens!"

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

"I'm not part of anything! I do not recognize your relationship with Jessica!"

"What good does that do? You’re not her. Can you dictate her choices? You have the right to notaccept it, but that doesn't change anything between you and me!"

"What relationship do I have with you? Nothing!"

"Really, no connection at all? Have you forgotten what happened earlier in the car?"

"Country kid, shut it! No more wild tales! What happened in the car? Nothing happened at all! If youkeep this up, trust me, I'll shred your mouth to pieces!"

"Oh Beauty, how forgetful you are! Since you’re so forgetful, after we catch that big kitty and wrapeverything up, maybe we should head back to the car to... reminisce about that happy tale."

"Happy? I'll make you howl with joy!"

Frustrated and unable to out-talk him, Beauty decided to take action. Learning from her previousencounter, she chose not to kick this time but instead pinched Daniel’s sides.

"Ow! Ow, ow!"

Daniel started howling in mock pain, crying out, "Beauty, this is pure ecstasy!"

"You still dare to talk nonsense? I'll twist you into silence!"

"Ah! Beauty, this is bliss! Keep going! Yes, more pressure! It feels absolutely heavenly when youpinch me like that!"

...

"Bastard! Pervert! You’re so indecent!"

Beauty cursed and twisted even harder, but to no avail. Daniel wouldn't yield. Finally, she let go,muttering "What thick skin!"

"Beauty, you really have a talent for massage. What parlor do you work at? How about I come everyday to get a massage from you?"
