The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 668

Beauty, still uncertain, questioned, "Are you sure the fish will taste good when you grill it like that, especially without any spices?"

"Who said I don’t have spices? These wild flowers and herbs are nature's finest seasonings. The most luxurious ingredients require the simplest cooking methods!" Daniel defended his culinary approach, despite the visible skepticism from Beauty.

"Yeah right, like you're really cooking? People would mistake this for a wildfire if they didn't know any better!" Beauty mocked, just as Victoria swayed over to check on the commotion.

"What's happening here? Is there a fire? You both should move back before you get burned!" Victoria’s words sent Beauty into a fit of laughter.

"Bahaha... you heard that, country bumpkin? Even Victoria thinks it looks like you started a fire." Beauty taunted Daniel, smacking his back while laughing uncontrollably at his expense.

"It doesn’t bother me; if you hurt me, you'll have to apply the medicine. Otherwise, we'll have issues," Daniel replied, unphased by her threats.

"Medicine for your ass? In your dreams! I'd rather carve the words 'asshole' and ‘scumbag' onto your butt with a knife," Beauty half-joked, though a part of her did wonder if it would be entertaining to actually follow through. Of course, she wouldn't use a knife; she'd prefer a washable marker. After writing those words, she'd cap off her artwork with a turtle right on the country bumpkin's rear.
