Chapter 666 Crossing the River



Beauty found herself inwardly conceding that having a man around didn't seem too bad after all. With a man's support, she wouldn't have to concern herself with life's troubles and could just be responsible for looking pretty. Settling down onto the makeshift vine bed Daniel had crafted, she suddenly announced, "Country bumpkin, I'm hungry."

"Hungry? What would you like to eat, Beauty?" Daniel inquired with a cheerful smile.

"I feel like eating grilled fish. Can you make that happen?" Beauty was direct in her request, confident that with a clear stream and a deep pool just below their cave, there would undoubtedly be fish-and wild fish were invariably delicious.

"Sure! I'll catch a fish for Beauty!" Daniel confidently declared, pulling out a small fishing kit from his bag, complete with fish hooks and line. He quickly baited the hook with a little worm he caught from a nearby tree.

Curious, Beauty watched and skeptically asked, "Can that little worm really lure in a fish?"

"Absolutely! Fish love eating worms, especially fresh, lively ones like this one," Daniel assured her earnestly.

Detecting something amiss with his demeanor, Beauty eyed Daniel provocatively. The subtle flirtation did not escape him, prompting him to inquire, "What are you looking at?"

"I'm looking at that worm on your hook. Isn't it too small? I doubt it can catch a big fish," Beauty teased with a mischievous smile.

"This big a worm can catch a four- or five-pound fish easily," Daniel claimed with a straight face, to which Beauty playfully gestured and joked, "Perhaps the worm between your legs is bigger? Maybe you should cut it off with a knife and see if we can catch an even bigger fish with that?"

Shocked by her boldness, Daniel gaped in disbelief, "Beauty, how do you know about its size? Have you seen it, or do you want to taste it?"

"Get out of here, pervert! Go fish, and

don't come back unless you catch

one! You better haul in a fish weighing over five pounds, otherwise, you might as well drown in the river!" Beauty was unforgiving in her demand, lashing out at Daniel fiercely.

Pointing to himself with a look of disbelief, Daniel retorted, "What did you say? I'm the pervert? It's clearly you, Beauty!"

"Country bumpkin, you dare call me a pervert? I'll beat you senseless, you pervert!" Beauty snapped back, launching into a frenzy of scratching and clawing at Daniel.

Her action left Daniel utterly astounded.
