The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 860

Daniel chuckled mischievously and asked, “So, how do you think Dog will punish you?”

Willow shot him a look, her eyes narrowed. “What does that have to do with you?”

“Oh, come on! If you won’t tell me, I’m pretty sure I know anyway! If Dog finds out you betrayed him by bringing me in to defeat him, he’ll definitely have that evil spirit punish you!”

If I’m right, that evil spirit isn’t exactly a friendly creature, is it? The reason it’s so strong is that it keeps eating ghosts—plenty of them, along with fairies and even other evil spirits! That’s how it got so powerful!”

Upon hearing this, Willow froze for a moment, then looked at Daniel with wide, astonished eyes, full of curiosity. “Little troublemaker, how do you know so much about that evil spirit? Have you met it?”

Daniel couldn't help but laugh at Willow's question. “You mean that evil spirit? Did that thing do something to you? Like it was some sort of beast?” he teased.

“Absolutely not! How dare it!”

Willow paused, her anger flaring up. “But it has done terrible things to other female ghosts! It’s a complete beast—a giant one! Worse than you, little troublemaker! It’s just a nasty piece of work! A real scoundrel!”

“Sounds like you really hate that evil spirit! If you despise it so much, why don’t you take me to defeat it?”
