Chapter 616 You're Not My Man

At that moment, Beauty profoundly realized that she did not want Daniel to die; she did not want the country bumpkin to perish. She only intended to tease him, not to wish him dead. After all, without him, who would she have to toy with? If he were gone, she would lose the amusement he provided.

As Beauty waited anxiously, a flash of gold flickered at the exit. Then, a casually whistling figure with hands in pockets emerged from the Inferno, nonchalantly sauntering out. Who else could it be but Daniel?

Beauty, initially relieved, quickly became irate. That damned country bumpkin, always so lucky-how could he not have perished in the flames? Now, she felt the urge to kick him right back into the fire and watch him burn anew.

With a frosty expression and arms folded, Beauty watched Daniel approach, betraying a mischievous smile. His reaction only heightened her irritation.

"Dear, you seem so disappointed, as if you were eagerly hoping your man-that's me would get burned alive. And now look, I'm still hopping around very much alive."

"Get lost, kid! You're not my man and you never will be! Spout off like that again, and I swear I'll kick you back into that pit to reheat!"

"Ah, but my thick skin can withstand much more-reheat me a hundred times, and I still won't burn!"

Daniel continued with a smirk,

"Those flames can't kill me. Only you have that power, my dear, for every time I see you, my passion ignites. Just a slight prompt from you, and I can barely contain myself

"Jerk! Can't you ever be serious?"

Beauty glared at him harshly. "Country bumpkin, don't get cocky! You were told three challenges, and you've only completed two. There's still one more waiting for you!"

After scolding Daniel, Beauty turned

to Cane Gold with a stern look.

"What's the third challenge?

Whatever it is, make sure this

country bumpkin doesn't pass as

easily as he did the previous ones.

"Having passed the Mountain of Blades and survived Inferno, the third challenge for this country bumpkin shall be 'The Dogs."" "Dogs? What's that?" asked Daniel.

"There's a mountain here in Purple

Gold populated by strays, the

Mountain of Dogs. There's only one path, and you must trek from the base to the peak and back down again. It's so dangerous that not even a tiger could pass through it without being torn to shreds by those wild dogs. So, country boy, do you accept this third challenge? It's much more perilous than the

Mountain of Blades or the Inferno."

"Even the biggest yellow dog in our village can't catch me. What's there to fear from a bunch of wild dogs? Just a stroll on Dog Mountain, right? Effortlessly, I'll pass this one too!"
