The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 501

Lily was the kind of woman who meant what she said and said what she meant. No sooner had the words left her mouth than she grabbed hold of Danny's waist and gave his flesh a painful twist.

"Ow!” Danny cried out merrily, drawing the attention of everyone around.

"Country bumpkin, what are you yelling about? D'you have any idea how embarrassing you are?” Lily glared at him, wishing the ground would swallow her up. Without daring to stay a moment longer, she quickly dragged Danny out of there.

"Lily, you didn’t even treat me to a coffee! Why’d you drag me out like that?” Danny asked with feigned innocence.

"Was I supposed to let you keep making a scene in there? You were making a fool of yourself!” Lily snapped back.

"How was I making a fool of myself?” he asked, playing dumb.

"You’re asking me? You were howling in there, sounding sassier than any woman I know!" Lily accused him, trying to keep her voice down.

"I might be sassy, but I'm nowhere near as sassy as you, Lily! If you let out even a peep, the whole place would go wild!” Danny joked, dodging Lily’s glares.

"Jerk, are you talking back to me? You believe I won’t twist you into a pretzels?” Lily threatened, though a faint smile tugged at her lips.

"I believe you, but think carefully, Lily. If you twist, I'll scream louder than before! I've got no shame, so if you decide to join me in my shamelessness, give it a whirl! Go ahead and twist me in front of everyone!” Danny challenged her boldly.

"Country bumpkin, don’t get too full of yourself! Just wait till I find a secluded spot; then I’ll show you,” Lily answered him, half serious, half teasing.

"Whoa! Lily, you wanna take me somewhere private? What exactly are you planning to do? I'm a decent man, but with someone as pretty as you getting bold, I might just have to say yes,” Danny flirted unabashedly.

"Get lost, you indecent fool!” Lily exploded, though a blush tinged her cheeks.
