The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 105

Centipedes? From Chris's mouth emerged real, live centipedes—one as thick as a thumb and about twelve inches long. Once the first one squirmed out, another swiftly followed.

Daniel deftly caught both centipedes with his bare hands and rushed them into a jar. Originally, there was one centipede in the jar, the one that came out of Isabella. Now with two more added, there were three in total. Upon meeting, the centipedes immediately attacked each other, and quickly, the first centipede was overpowered and devoured by the newer two.

These two centipedes, a pair, were accustomed to coexisting in balance, but when faced with another of their kind, they would band together against the intruder.

Witnessing two centipedes crawl from his mouth, Chris was dumbstruck. When he came to his senses, he dashed into the bathroom to vomit. It was utterly disgusting. Even after rinsing his mouth countless times, he still felt nauseated. Above all, he was confused.

Staring at Daniel, Chris demanded, “Country boy, what's going on here?”

“It seems you’re asking the wrong person. This curse was planted in your belly by Master Yu,” Daniel responded, turning to River Yu with a reminder in his grin. "So the real story, you gotta ask Master Yu!"

At that, River Yu got frantic. “Nonsense! How could I have done such a thing?”

"If the curse wasn’t by Master Yu, then who cast it?" Daniel asked.

“You knew how to undo it, so it must have been you who cast it. Otherwise, how could you know that using the carcass of that insect would draw out these two centipedes?" Sophia chimed in eagerly.

"Exactly!” she added. “Dear, the worms from your belly must have been this country bum's doing. He looks like trouble. We should get the security to grab him and beat the truth out of him. Let’s see if he keeps playing tough after that!"
