The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 110

With a resounding slap, the Chametipedes was cleaved into two pieces, its torn body tumbling to the ground.

"Ah..." River Yu spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"You... you dared to kill my Chametipedes? You dared? I'll make you pay for this!"

Enraged, River Yu clenched his fist and swung at Daniel. But weakened from the severing of his strongest curse, he stumbled and fell to the ground, knocking out two of his smoke-stained teeth against a rock.

Daniel looked down at River Yu’s wretched state and couldn’t help but laugh. With one hand casually in his pocket and the other pointing at his own face, he mockingly taunted, “Still want to hit me? Get up and aim here. I promise I won’t dodge.”

Unable to stand due to the overwhelming pain, River Yu grabbed the halves of the Chametipedes’ body from the ground and stuffed them into his mouth, swallowing them whole. Even dead, the Chametipedes still carried remnants of power that could restore some of his strength.

After regaining some vitality, River Yu stood up and glared at Daniel with murderous intent. "You will pay for what you did today! I will kill you! I will!"

With those parting words, River Yu left the scene.

"Master Yu, I hope you take this lesson to heart. If I catch you cursing others again, the punishment won't be as lenient as today," Daniel called out after him.

"Country bumpkin, don't be smug! I will definitely kill you! I will tear you limb from limb, mutilate your body!" River Yu bellowed in the distance.

Saturday morning, the warm dawn light shone through the floor-to-ceiling window, casting its gentle rays upon the bed where Daniel lay, sandwiched between pillows, drooling contentedly in his sleep, staining the pink pillow that Jessica had given him a light yellow.

The click of the door signaled the entrance of Jessica, clad in a form-fitting dress. "Hey, you’re still asleep?"

She picked up a throw pillow and threw it at Daniel’s behind. The soft assault roused him from sleep.

"What? I was sleeping!"
