The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 847

"Go ahead and bully me! Kill me if you must!" Willow, the red-dressed ghost, sobbed, her voice trembling. She looked so pitiful that any man might feel compassion for her.

But not Daniel.

He knew that despite her appearance, Willow was a malevolent spirit, cultivated by an Evil Raiser. Showing her any sympathy would only make him vulnerable to her attacks.

“No, I will bully you! Why did you lie to me? Why didn't you tell the truth?” Daniel kept swinging his hand, slapping her repeatedly, making her cry out in a mix of pain and despair.

Her cries, though haunting, had a strangely alluring tone.

“I’m sorry! I’m sorry! Please stop hitting me! My name is Willow!” she finally surrendered, fearing that continued punishment might lead to her ultimate demise.

“Willow, why are you here?” Daniel asked.

“I’ve always been here!” Willow replied, feigning innocence.

“Another lie? Tell me who put you here! Answer honestly, or I won't be so kind!”

Raising his hand again, Daniel warned, “If you lie, I’ll keep hitting you with the same force until you disappear. Believe me?”

“Yes, yes, I believe you! You sick pervert, why do you keep hitting my butt?” Willow said, a slight blush appearing on her otherwise pale face.

Daniel stared at Willow, then asked with a smile, “Has Mr. Dog locked your soul? Does he control it, so you have to obey him or else he will annihilate your soul and make you disappear?”

“Yes, you’re right! If I lead you to him and he gets angry, he’ll destroy my soul, and then I'll cease to exist.”

“Don’t call me a scoundrel!” Daniel retorted.

“You are a scoundrel! You slapped my butt so many times. No man has ever hit me like that! You’re awful, a real scoundrel!” Willow accused, rubbing her sore backside.

Silenced for a moment, Daniel finally spoke, “Do you know why I had to slap your butt?”
