The Understated Dragon Lord
Chapter 860 You Ask for It

Daniel chuckled mischievously and asked, "So, how do you think Dog will punish you?"

Willow shot him a look, her eyes narrowed. "What does that have to do with you?"

"Oh, come on! If you won't tell me, I'm pretty sure I know anyway! If Dog replaces out you betrayed him by bringing me in to defeat him, he'll definitely have that evil spirit punish you!"

If I'm right, that evil spirit isn't exactly a friendly creature, is it? The reason it's so strong is that it keeps eating ghosts-plenty of them, along with fairies and even other evil spirits! That's how it got so powerful!" Upon hearing this, Willow froze for a moment, then looked at Daniel with wide, astonished eyes, full of curiosity. "Little troublemaker, how do you know so much about that evil spirit? Have you met it?" Daniel couldn't help but laugh at Willow's question. "You mean that evil spirit? Did that thing do something to you? Like it was some sort of beast?" he teased.

"Absolutely not! How dare it!"

Willow paused, her anger flaring up. "But it has done terrible things to other female ghosts! It's a complete beast-a giant one! Worse than you, little troublemaker! It's just a nasty piece of work! A real scoundrel!"

"Sounds like you really hate that evil spirit! If you despise it so much, why don't you take me to defeat it?"

"Don't try and rile me up! But since you're so eager to walk into danger, I'll take you! Just keep in mind, when we replace Dog and he releases that evil spirit to take you down, it's not my fault. You asked for it!"

With that, Willow led Daniel deeper into the cave.

Half an hour later, they reached a door. This wasn't an ordinary door made of wood or stone; it was constructed from piles of skulls. Dark smoke was seeping from the eye sockets and mouth holes of the skulls, enveloping the door in a thin haze that made it look incredibly eerie and terrifying.

Willow pointed at the ominous door and said, "Going through this skull door is where it all happens. Little troublemaker, you better think this throught Once you walk through this door you're essentially challenging Dog to a fight. The result? Either you die, or he does!"

"Of course he's the one who'll die! I've got a strong constitution and plenty of beautiful ladies waiting for me to charm them! If I die, think of how heartbroken they'll all be!"

As soon as Daniel finished speaking, he suddenly felt sharp pain on either side of his waist.

On his left, Brittany was pinching him, while on his right, Chloe was doing the same.

"Ah... ahhh..."

After realizing what was happening, Daniel let out several plaintive cries, looking at the two girls as if he were being wronged. "What do you two think you're doing? You're hurting me over here!" Brittany glared at him, her hands on her hips like a fierce lioness. "You deserve it! You sleazy creep! Which beauty are you planning to flirt with now?"
