The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 446

"Absolutely won’t burn me? If you say it won't burn me, does that mean it really won't? What if it actually ignites and I get burned?"

"If it burns you, Madison, I'll let you deal with me however you want. No resistance, I promise."

"You're saying that now, but if this fire lights and burns me, you’ll see how I'll handle you!"

Madison was quite curious; she didn't truly believe the painting wouldn't burn her after being set on fire. But for some reason, she believed Daniel’s outrageous claim, thinking that maybe this country boy wasn't actually deceiving her.

With intrigue, Madison urged Daniel, "Country boy, hurry up! I want to see what trick you’re pulling."

Daniel pulled out the lighter. Snap! The lighter ignited, and he slowly brought it closer to the lower left corner of the painting.

As soon as the flame touched the canvas, whoosh! It burst into flames, casting a green fire that quickly danced over Madison's fingertips. Nevertheless, she felt no heat, only a chilly sensation as if snowflakes were landing on her skin. It was an interesting feeling indeed.

"How about it, Madison? Told you the fire wouldn’t burn you, didn’t I?"

"Country boy, why is this flame so green? Even greener than you!"

"What do you mean 'greener than me'? Madison, what are you trying to say? You want to get in bed with me?"

"Country boy, stop spouting nonsense or I’ll end you! I have no such relation with you!"

"So, Madison, you’re saying you’ve been with someone else?"

"What do you mean 'been with someone else'?"

"You know what I mean. Have you never heard of sex?"

"Calm down, Madison. This painting is a ten-billion-dollar genuine Piet Mondrian. If you smother me with it, my face might get ashy, but the painting would be ruined. Then, goodbye ten billion."

"If this painting turns out not to be a genuine Mondrian, I’ll be the one to set your hair on fire."

"Which hair?"

"Which hair do you think? Of course, the one on your head!" Madison rolled her eyes at Daniel and scolded, "Pervert!"

As the two bantered, the green flames on the painting gradually extinguished. The painting itself turned into what looked like burnt charcoal, blackened with cracks running throughout.

Seeing this, Smart burst out laughing. After his laughter subsided, he pointed at the charred canvas, "Country boy, that’s a genuine Mondrian? That thing is worth ten billion? Haha..."

After taking in the sight, Leo also chimed in with his own jibes and mockery.
