The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 424: Closing Eyes

Daniel wondered whether Beauty was serious about following through with their bet or if she was planning a trick. Either way, he decided to stretch out his face, ready to see what she had in store.

"Close your eyes!" Beauty commanded.

Daniel obeyed, closing his eyes.

"All of you, turn around!" Beauty ordered Soldier and the others.

They all obediently turned their backs. Her actions made Daniel think that maybe, just maybe, a real smooch was about to happen. Anticipating the sweet moment, Daniel puckered up with closed eyes. But what he got was not a kiss but rather a sharp slap across the face.

With a surprised and angry face, Daniel asked, "Did you just slap me?"

"No, I was giving you a kiss! Didn't you ask for a kiss? I used my palm to deliver a warm smack right to you! How was that? Was it heartfelt enough? I can add a bit more force if you want."

"You...ugh! You shameless woman!"

"Dare say that again, and I'll slap you proper!” Beauty raised her hand, looking ready to strike.

Just then, Daniel noticed that Lily had disappeared. He quickly changed topics, "Hey, where'd the fox spirit go?"

Beauty glanced around, unable to spot Lily, and replied with irritation. "Wasn't she summoned by you? Shouldn't you know where she went off to? Instead of asking me?"

"You had me close my eyes, so I missed out on your sweet 'kiss,' got a slap instead, and now the fox spirit's gone. I was hoping to ask her for some information."

"Information? What, you wanted to ask that fox if she’d sleep with you?"

"Does that kind of thing need asking? No, that's something you figure out by doing, okay?"
