The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 680

Danny, feigning shock, cheekily retorted, "Of course, you've seen it. Are you going to deny it now?"

"You... you shameless jerk!!" Belle lifted her foot and landed a solid kick on Danny’s backside.

Her kick sent Danny staggering and tumbling onto Smart, who had been diligently hunting for earthworms.

Thump!

Smart's mouth filled with dirt. “Ugh! Ptooey!” Smart spat angrily after clearing the mud from his mouth. “Country boy, you knocked me over! Did you know that?”

“How is that my fault? Blame Belle; she's the one who kicked me over,” Danny defended himself, brushing off the blame.

“You did it on purpose!”

“What’s wrong with a little mud? It's good for you. Keep digging for those worms! Remember, you need to eat all fifty of them raw to do the trick,” reminded Danny, still chuckling.

"I’ll never forget this! I'll remember what you did today, and one day, I’ll make you pay!” Smart threatened vehemently, returning to his task.

After half an hour, Smart had collected exactly fifty worms. He looked at the wriggling mass uncertainly and asked Danny, “So, I just eat them like this, raw?”

“You could cook them, but then they’d lose their magic. It's your little buddy we’re talking about, not mine, so it's up to you!”

Belle couldn't help but giggle at Danny's response.

Turning to her, Danny asked, “What's so funny?”

“You! You just boldly owned up to it,” she teased him.
