Of course, Beauty had no intention of ending Daniel's life, but she planned at least to give him a good scare—one that would leave him so terrified he'd willingly break up with Jessica.
The Mercedes G-Wagon left the city behind, winding on mountain roads for an hour before ascending a hill. This hill, absent from all major maps, was called Spirit Hill—a place cloaked in secrecy, known as a gateway to the Spirit Realm, the barrier between the mundane and the mystical.
As they entered the territory of Spirit Hill, Daniel immediately sensed that something was different, but he pretended to be clueless, turning to Beauty with feigned innocence, "Beauty, where are we?"
"Spirit Hill," she responded.
"Spirit Hill? That name sounds a bit odd. Does this Spirit Hill have some secret?"
Beauty didn’t offer a straight answer but looked at Daniel derisively, "You, a country bumpkin, couldn’t possibly understand."
"If you know something I don't, why not share? What's the story of Spirit Hill? Ever since we entered Spirit Hill, it feels off." Daniel's hand reached out toward Beauty's thigh as he spoke.
Beauty screamed and slapped his hand away.
Smack!
The blow was mean but missed its mark as Daniel deftly pulled back his hand before the slap landed, leaving Beauty to inadvertently strike her own thigh.
"Beauty, I was wrong! I won't do it again!"
Finally relenting, Beauty commanded, "You drive!"
"Okay!" Daniel agreed instantly, reaching out once again toward Beauty's thigh.
"Not driving that, you pervert! I'll wring your neck!"
Beauty resumed her assault, realizing she didn't feel disgust or revulsion toward Daniel like she would have with any other man. His antics somehow didn't repel her.
