Chapter 418 Win-Win

In fact, Beauty's intuition told her Daniel probably had the ability to replace the Tiger King. Likewise, herintuition convinced her that with only ten minutes left, it was impossible for Daniel to locate the TigerKing. Consequently, Beauty’s heart was blooming with joy. She wanted Daniel to lose, but she alsowished the Tiger King to be found. Losing Daniel and replaceing 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 thewaist. "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 hadrubbed off on her; his shamelessness seemed to have infected her, and she unconsciously enjoyedtheir 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 ared dress emerged gracefully from a hollow in the tree.

The apparent beauty, hands clasped in front of her, bowed slightly, asking delicately, "Gentleman,how may I assist you?"

"Lady, may I inquire your name?"

"I am Lily. Might I inquire your surname, gentleman?"

As Daniel and the woman, Lily, chatted away enthusiastically, a flare of jealousy sparked in Beauty.Though she wasn't sure who this Lily was or where she had come from, Lily's eyes seemed topossess an alluring spell.

"She is no gentleman, just a country kid," Beauty quickly corrected for Daniel and then asked Lilywith a hint of vinegar, "Do you live here?"

"Yes, I do," responded Lily, pointing at the tree. "That is my home."

Beauty, following Lily's indication, saw the hollow space and grasped the situation. "Are you afairy?" she inquired.

"I am a fairy of a thousand years."

"A fairy? You seem more like a harlot to me! A harlot who knows nothing but luring men! You couldhave chosen someone capable, but you set your sights on even a country kid! You're bringingshame to all fairies!"

"These words are too harsh for simply speaking a few sentences with this gentleman. Is he perhapsyour husband?"
