The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 657

Beauty gave Daniel a cold sneer at his boisterous declaration. "Hmph!" Following the laugh, she said with disbelief, "Eat well and drink well? You'd better just make sure that Victoria and I aren't eaten by some wild cat in the mountains."

"Victoria might get eaten by a wild cat because she's gentle and well-mannered, but you? You're more like a tiger yourself! I think any wild cat would take a detour after meeting you. None of those animals dare to mess with you – what do they want, a death wish?" Daniel joked, which caused Beauty's fair face to darken with frustration.

Beauty, hands on hips, finger pointed at Daniel's nose, snapped, "Country bumpkin, you have some nerve calling me a tiger! You looking for a beating?"

"Does it matter if I want it or not? You'd hit me eight hundred times a day just for being around you," Daniel remarked, prompting Beauty to skip the verbal confrontation and go straight for a physical one. She opted for pinching and twisting – efficient and effective.

She had Daniel yelping in no time, a sound she found increasingly pleasing to the ear. Once the brief tussle was over, the trio set off up the mountain.

They started on a concrete road which led to a dirt path, and so they drove a Mercedes-Benz AMG. Daniel was at the wheel, while Beauty and Victoria enjoyed snacks and chatter in the back seat, treating the ride like a leisurely outing.

"Hey, you two heartless beauties in the back – enjoying your feast and not even offering me a bite?" Daniel called out.

"Get lost! Feed you? You should be glad I don't smack you dead right here!" Beauty retorted with disdain.
