Chapter 697 Masochist



With both beautiful women insisting on joining him, Danny had no choice but to acquiesce. "Fine, I'll take you both. With you two burdens, we're bound to starve here on Purple Gold Hill one of these days."

As soon as Danny's words fell, Belle shot him a fierce look. "Country boy, what did you just say? How dare you call me a burden? I'll kick you to death!" Not one to hold back, Belle was quick to take action, her foot connecting with Danny's rear and sending him tumbling to the ground.

"Belle, don't bully the handsome guy anymore. You've punished him countless times along the way. Despite his thick skin, he can't withstand this much punishment. What if you beat him to death? Then the two of us won't be able to get out of Purple Gold Hill."

"Are you taking pity on him?" Belle asked with a teasing smile.

"Pity him, that handsome guy? I'm not the least bit sorry for him! I just think he's useful for something, so don't play him to death."

Victoria deliberately played down her concerns, but deep down, she was feeling a bit protective of Danny. Watching Belle knocking Danny around, she felt an odd pang of jealousy, almost as if her own man were being disciplined by another woman.

"Victoria, relax; he's a natural masochist. He enjoys being punished. No matter how much I punish him, he's happy. If he annoys you, feel free to give him a whack, too!" Belle passed Victoria a twig with a knowing grin. "Hit him! He behaves better after a good thrashing."

Victoria took the twig and called out to Danny, "Hand out!"

Obediently, Danny extended his hand. "Such a good boy, I won't hit you."

Victoria put the twig away. Unlike Belle, she wasn't prone to violence; her demeanor was gentle, so she didn't often resort to physical reprimands.

"Belle, have you two finished fooling around?" Danny asked with a grin. He enjoyed teasing the beautiful women since it was a pleasant distraction from the monotony of the wilderness.

"Are we the ones fooling around? It's you, the shameless country boy, causing all the ruckus!" Belle pointed to the three-meter-tall cliff in front of them and questioned Danny 'How are we going to get up there?"

"If you don't mind, I could carry both of you up at the same time," Danny replied, deadpan.

"Get lost!" Belle rolled her eyes, annoyed. "You pervert, stop fantasizing. You're not taking advantage of me!"

Danny maintained his straight-faced

response. "Let's get this straight, I would be the one lifting you. I would be the one doing all the work. How am I getting the better end of this deal? If anyone's taking advantage, it's you taking advantage of me!"

At his words, Belle instantly grew irritated. She glared at Danny and asked, "What now? You're at a loss by holding me?"

"Of course! It's not just a loss; it's

you taking all the benefit. My physique is excellent; I'm essentially the one shortchanged here. Each time thold you, it will shave years off my life!"

Danny put on the look of someone terribly aggrieved.
