The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 705

Why is her face all red? Daniel wondered with a hint of curiosity.

Teasingly, he asked, "Beauty, why're you blushing? You thinking about something... interesting?"

"Get lost! No, I'm not!" Beauty immediately denied, of course. How could she admit to such a thing?

As the chunks of clay were knocked off and the leaves wrapping the chicken were revealed, the steamy aroma of the roast mingled with the fresh scent of leaves, escaping into the air. The smell was so enticing that Beauty, who was already drooling, now had an intense craving—the strongest appetite she'd ever experienced in her life!

Daniel couldn’t help but laugh at her eagerness. "Beauty, are you that hungry?"

"Quit chattering and open up those leaves, get the chicken out. I'm starving, and if you don't feed me soon, I'll thump you!" Beauty pounded lightly on Daniel's shoulder several times, conveying her urgency.

As the leaves were peeled back, Beauty couldn't wait and reached out for the chicken, but she jerked her hand back the moment she touched the scorching hot leg.

"Ow!" she yelped, then grumbled, "Country boy, it’s burning hot, help me break it apart!"

"I already told you, if you're too hasty, you won't get to enjoy a delicious roast chicken, but you didn't believe me. Got burnt now, huh? You happy?"

"Stop blaming me, will you?" Beauty scratched Daniel lightly with her singed hand.

"Hurry up, I want the big chicken leg!"

"Yes, yes, my lady, here's your chicken leg!"

Daniel broke off a leg, wrapped it in a leaf, and handed it to Beauty.

"Smart of you to wrap it! Thanks!"

"Just a casual thanks, that's not enough," Daniel said, grinning.

"If thanks isn't enough, then what do you want?"

"You hillbilly, you scoundrel, how dare you be such a Casanova. How could you betray Jessica? I'll wallop you today!"

Beauty launched into a flurry of hits against Daniel. Once done, she demanded, pointing at a chicken wing, "Break off the wing, I want to eat that!"

"At your command, Beauty!"

Daniel broke off a wing and offered it to Beauty, but she unexpectedly stuffed it into his mouth.

"Beauty, what's that about?"

"That's for you, freak!"

...

Meanwhile, Smart and Easton, who had been working on the other side, caught the scent of the roast chicken and hurried over. Smart didn't speak, but he nudged Easton with his finger.
