The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 660

After a long, triumphant laugh, Smart gestured grandly to his entourage and announced, "Let's move!"

As Smart and his team vanished into the depth of the forest, Beauty turned to Daniel with a question tinged with urgency, "Country bumpkin, which way should we go?"

"If we're in Purple Gold Hill, we should ask the natives of Purple Gold Hill, of course," Daniel replied with an easy grin.

"Ask the natives of Purple Sun Hill?" Beauty looked confused and slightly suspicious. "How do we do that?"

"How else? We call them out and ask!" Daniel retorted, and with a playful jab to Beauty's forehead, he chided, "You really are clueless!"

He had poked her forehead quite straightforwardly, without any improper intention—though he had the urge, he dared not act on it. After all, Beauty was not one to take lightly; she was fiercer than a tiger and not to be trifled with.

"Country bumpkin, you dare call me clueless? And dare to poke me?" Beauty's temper looked like it was on the verge of erupting, hands defiantly on her hips.

"You twist and pinch me all the time. What's wrong with me poking you once? And it's not like I poked somewhere inappropriate—I didn't poke anything off-limits," Daniel defended.

Daniel was not that kind of man. He could fully control his body through his inner abilities, ensuring that there would be no inappropriate physical responses when they were not warranted.

As the conversation between Beauty and Daniel grew more heated and their expressions became more flirtatious, Victoria piped up to defuse the tension, "Beauty, let the handsome man here call out these so-called natives. I'm curious to see who or what he calls upon to ask for directions."

"Did you hear her? Get these natives you spoke of to come out and properly ask for directions. If you can't manage that, just see how I'll deal with you," Beauty said, hands on her hips and as threatening as ever, her assertiveness contrasting sharply with Victoria's gentle demeanor.
