The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 420

In his mind, Daniel vowed to get back at Beauty for twisting his waist, determined that one day he would bring her to heel.

"If you continue to speak nonsense to me, rest assured that I won't let you off so lightly next time," Beauty warned after letting go of his waist. Having disciplined the country boy, she felt clear-headed and triumphant.

"Why did you summon this fox spirit?" she asked Daniel.

"Just as you said before, for dinner!"

"You're still saying such things?" Beauty raised her hand to act again, but Daniel, wincing from the previous twist to his waist, quickly scampered out of her reach.

"Five more minutes, and the time will be up. If you haven't found the Tiger King by then, you will have lost," Beauty said, hands on her hips assertively.

Daniel was unfazed and looked at Lily with a mischievous smile. "You must know where the Tiger King is, right?"

"I don't know," Lily lied, but Daniel saw right through her.

"Are you sure you don't know? Don't you want to think it over?" Daniel picked up a twig and lightly prodded Lily's chest with it.

"Ah!" Lily let out a yelp, and a puff of white smoke billowed from her chest.

"You're bullying me!" she exclaimed.
