The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 702

"Beauty, now that I've caught this wild hen, let's pick some mushrooms on our way back. Half for roasting, half for a soup. It's chilly in the mountains, and a warm bowl of soup will keep us cozy tonight," Daniel proposed earnestly.

Beauty eyed him suspiciously and asked, "Country boy, you're not plotting something twisted, are you?"

"What kind of plot could I have?"

"You're talking about picking mushrooms, but aren't those poisonous? Tell me, are you planning to poison me and Victoria, so we hallucinate, and then you can do your weirdo stuff?"

"Dear Beauty! Would I do such a thing?"

"Yes, you would!" Beauty shot back.

Daniel was left speechless.

The trio picked some mushrooms and wild greens, carrying the wild hen back to the lakeside.

By now, Smart and Easton had already chopped quite a lot of wood.

Daniel sketched out a blueprint and handed it to Smart.

"Genius, follow this blueprint and get that cabin built," he instructed.

"Why does it always have to be me? I chopped all this wood, shouldn't you be the one building the cabin?"

"I've got to help the lovely ladies with the cooking, so you and Easton will have to take care of the cabin."

"Country boy, don't push me too far!"

"You're not willing?"

With that, Daniel put his fingers to his lips and gave a soft whistle.
