Chapter 683 I Won't Dare Again

With the smelly fart dispersed, the air in the cave was fresh once more. The mountain air certainly had a quality the city could not match; a few deep breaths of it seemed to cleanse their lungs, making everyone feel invigorated and even extending their life expectancy.

Belle's stomach growled a couple of times; she was hungry.

"Country boy, what are we eating this morning?" she asked.

"You can have a fart! I'll let one rip for you, and that'll fill you up for sure. You won't be hungry all day," Danny joked, only to earn a painful twist on his flesh from Belle. And this time, she didn't let go immediately.

"Ah! Aaah!" Howls of pain erupted from Danny as the pinch continued.

"Belle, I'm sorry!"

"Belle, I won't dare again!"

"Belle, please forgive me!"

Danny was pleading, setting aside any shred of male dignity he had left.

"You want to feed me farts? I'll twist your flesh into mush, believe me," Belle said fiercely and then slapped him again before finally letting go.

"Go get us some food!" she ordered aggressively, like a commander giving an ultimatum.

"Yes, ma'am, Belle," Danny replied meekly.

What was he to fetch this early in the morning? Glancing towards the riverbed, he saw the equipment Smart had brought was scattered about. Some of it had been washed away, but plenty remained

"All sorts of things were strewn about the riverside. So, he ordered Smart, Gather the stuff from the riverbed. Wash what needs cleaning and see if there's anything we can use."

Smart bristled at being ordered around by a country bumpkin. "Why should I? Why does a country bumpkin like you get to order me around?" He refused, determined not to comply.

"Why? You ask why?" Without further explanation, Danny put his fingers to his lips and whistled.

After the piercing whistle, the bushes next to the cave rustled, and a large snake head emerged. It was the same python from yesterday, which had never left.

It wasn't that Danny hadn't let it go; the python simply didn't want to. With its keen awareness, it knew that staying meant gifts from Danny.

As the women remained silent, it was Smart who let out a scream upon seeing the python.

"What the country boy, what are you doing? Get it away!"

"This python has been hungry for days. If you don't cooperate, and it eats you, that's not my problem," Danny said earnestly. If not for him, with the python's size, not only Smart but even Belle and Victoria wouldn't stand a chance against its hunting prowess.

"I'll—I'll do it. Just call it off, and I'll do whatever you say!" Smart was thoroughly intimidated.

Danny whistled once more, softly this time, and instantaneously, the python slithered back into the underbrush and vanished from sight.
