The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 737

Smart's scheme lay exposed, and in his panic, he frantically denied the accusations. "No! I didn’t!"

Then he quickly fabricated an excuse: "I didn't whack you with the stick! I was afraid it might fall and you wouldn't have it to deal with Black tomorrow, so I brought it over to help you store it properly!"

Daniel had other things on his agenda, like dealing with The Spirit Cats in the morning, and he didn't have time for Smart’s nonsense.

With a fierce swing of the stick in his hand:

"Smack!"

The stick landed firmly on Smart’s behind.

"Ah!" A chilling scream escaped from Smart as he was propelled like a golf ball, flying through the air.

Finally, with a splash, Smart landed in Moon Landing.

Gentle morning light spilled into the cabin, waking Beauty up. She felt something heavy pressing on her and struggled to breathe. Opening her groggy eyes, she was shocked to find Daniel!

This despicable country boy was sprawled on her chest, sleeping like a pig. To add insult to injury, he had drooled all over, and it stank horribly.

Beauty was not one to be trifled with, especially not by Daniel. Her slender fingers reached for his waist and she twisted hard without mercy.

The searing pain yanked Daniel from his dreams, fully awake now.
