The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 740 The Enemy

Daniel lightly patted Black's shoulder and reminded him cheerfully, "This Magic Stone can close just as easily as it opened, so you better decide whether you want to keep your hands or not. Do you want them petrified, becoming part of the Magic Stone forever?"

This jolted Black back to his senses, and he immediately withdrew his hands from the crevice of the Magic Stone. Still unable to believe what had happened, he scrutinized Daniel suspiciously and asked, "Country boy, how did you do that?"

"Because I'm handsome! The Magic Stone saw me and was utterly charmed. Whatever I say, it listens; it's particularly obedient to me!"

As Daniel continued to spout nonsense, Beauty quietly sidled up to him and pinched his waist viciously. The sudden, excruciating pain made Daniel yelp.

"Ah! Beauty, what's with the pinching?"

"You deserve it for spouting nonsense!" Beauty retorted, pinching Daniel simply because she found it amusing-any excuse would do.

"I wasn't boasting!"

"Oh, weren't you? Claiming you're so handsome that even a Magic Stone is dazzled by you? Is that how handsome you think you are, that you can stun a stone?"

Beauty rolled her eyes at him and asked with sarcasm, "Are you criminally handsome, or what?"

"Yes! My good looks are practically a crime. But it's not me committing the crimes; it's the beautiful ladies who can't help themselves around me!"Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

"Get lost!" Annoyed, Beauty punched

et

the presumptuous country boy, "With your looks, which beauty would want to commit a crime for you? Even being around you without throwing up is a sign of greatmental fortitude!"

As the two bickered, Smart grew jealous and approached saying, "Country boy, you boasted that you'd go after the Spirit Cats at dawn today ready to subdue them. Well, the sun's up. When are you setting out?"

Smart was convinced that Daniel had zero chance against The Spirit Cats and was destined to die at their paws. His prodding was meant to push Daniel towards his doom sooner, eliminating this enemy for good.

Smart's petty thoughts were transparent to the astute Daniel, "Retard, why are you so eager to send me off to The Spirit Cats? Do you think I can't handle them?"

Daniel's question was met with a

scoff from Smart, who replied with disdain after his cold laughter, "Country boy, you think you can subdue The Spirit Cats? I think they'll devouryou! Even if you encounter just one, not the pair, a single Spirit Cat could rip your throat open with one bite, ending you. It would then feast on your corpse, leaving nothing, not even bones, behind!"
