The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 275

"If you don't treat your STD soon, by noon tomorrow, you'll suddenly have an outbreak. Your face will be covered with a lot of red spots, and it will be unbearably itchy. If it's not handled properly, those red spots will fester, and then your whole face will be like a country boy's skin, full of bumps that will never go away," Daniel called after Emily to warn her, but Emily didn't pay him any attention.

Seeing Emily walk away, Brittany quickly dragged Daniel into a corner. "What are you doing? Trying to seduce me this late at night?" Daniel asked.

"Seduce? Cut the nonsense! Do I need to seduce you? One look from me, and you'd follow me like a dog."

"Brittany, don't be so full of yourself. Even Jessica isn't as confident as you."

"Ha! It's you who's overconfident, country boy. You're so full of yourself that you've forgotten who you are! Now you're eyeing Jessica too? Do you really think you're worthy of her?"

"If you're not trying to seduce me, then what's this corner chat about?"

"I'm asking you if it's true about Emily having an STD?"

"Of course it's true."

"She actually has an STD? So tell me, did she get it herself from fooling around, or did Mason get it and pass it on to her?"

"How should I know? If you want to know, go ask her. Ask if she's slept around, and if she hasn't, then it must've been her husband fooling around and giving it to her."

"She's really going to get sick by tomorrow at noon?"

Mason broke out in a cold sweat at the shout. He worked in the construction industry, with plenty of socializing outside, and such incidents were almost inevitable. But he couldn't admit it.

"How could I betray you? With a beautiful wife like you, why would I go fool around?"

"If you haven't been messing around, how could I get an STD?"

"What STD? That country bumpkin was talking nonsense; don't believe him! He’s trying to slander you, tarnish your reputation. You'd be foolish to believe his lies."

Mason hurried to explain, desperately trying to deflect the accusation.
