Paul woke up the next morning to find two girls sleeping next to him and hugging him a s they slept.
He was shocked because right now he was sleeping with two young ladies that could only be described as beautiful and they looked way older than what he remembered.
Before they were looking like early teens but now they both looked like they aged three to four years in a day.
The main problem for now was that they were almost naked as all they had were loincloths and a piece of fabric covering their chests which were acceptable before but now they were inadequate to the task that they had to perform.
For now he decided to focus on his own body as he really overdid it this time and was expecting to have damaged his mana channels after absorbing this much power over a few hours.
To his surprise the channels were not only perfectly fine but they were even a bit wider than previously and he managed to jump twenty four levels benefiting from the ordeal.
Unfortunately there were consequences to jumping this many levels at once and now his mana was chaotic and full of impurities as he only absorbed and assimilated it without purifying it.
If he left it like it was now then there was a chance that it would hinder his future cultivation so he had to purify the mana and that would take quite some time to do especially since he was already at level forty two and had quite a lot of mana to purify.
The good news was that he was just eight levels away from his goal in magic and now he could use some of the mana to create an elemental phenomena such as creating a small flame over his palm or producing a bit of water.
He couldn't use it for attack but it would make his life way easier as he wouldn't have to rely on the friction fire starting set that he created.
Also he could have fresh and clean water whenever he wanted without going to the river.
His gains were enormous but now he had to focus on purifying his mana and increasing his Qi so that when it was time for him to heal his legs,he would have an easier time relearning how to walk.
While he was thinking about it he tried to lay without moving to let the girls have some more sleep but his thoughts were disrupted by their movement as it seems that both of them had woken up at the same time.
When the ladies opened their eyes and saw that they were hugging him and he was awake they both sat up with a blush that made their pale green skin into a dark green color.
-Good morning,Are you two alright?
Paul greeted them and asked the question that was on his mind.
-Yes we are better already,but what happened to us?
Mia asked,wanting to know why they had changed so much and why it was so painful.
Paul was shocked at her way of speech that was significantly better than before.
-There was a seal placed on both of you and it hindered your physical and mental growth.
This kind of seal can only be disposed of if you are given a correct name that only the caster knows.
So when I gave you names yesterday and you accepted them it triggered the seal and that is why it hurt you both.
Paul explained and the girls were stunned,not only that there was a seal on them but also that they managed to understand most of what he had just said.
Before when he had said anything they only understood the most basic words now it was as if they both became smarter.
-I used my special skill to remove the seals so your bodies and minds recovered and went back to what they should have been from the start.
Paul continued his explanation.
Now both girls finally knew what had happened to them and also why the shaman of their clan forbid them to have names.
They were also grateful to Paul for removing the seals and getting rid of their pain.
At this time Paul's stomach growled in protest of being left empty for too long and both girls' stomachs growled as well so they decided to get some food.
Paul prepared a bonfire to be lit and Maya had brought him his tools to start a fire which was a great improvement since she usually stayed as far away from him as possible.
-Thank you Maya but i don't need this anymore.
He thanked her with a smile.
-Then how will you make fire?
The girl asked,not understanding.
-Like this.
Paul smiled and stretched out his index finger and a moment later a flame materialized on his fingertip.
This made the girls' eyes grow as wide as saucers.
It was the first time she saw something like this.
-Does your hand hurt?
She was fascinated by his display of magic.
-No it doesn't hurt because it's my flame so it can't hurt me but you better not touch it as it will burn you.
Paul explained and warned her seeing that she wanted to touch the flame.
She quickly retracted her hand.
Paul lit up the fire and soon three fishes were roasting over it.
At that time he saw Mia coming with a load of firewood.
-You don't need to bring anymore wood for now as we have more than enough.
He said,stopping her when she wanted to go collect more.
Paul had a bit of a problem looking at the girls as they matured a lot and were walking around almost naked right in front of him.
He couldn't do anything about their loin cloths for now but he decided to at least help them cower their chests.
He took off his t-shirt and using his new knife he cut it in half,giving the upper half to Maya and telling her to wear it.
Next he took out some paracord and made laces to the lover half and gave it to Mia.
It wasn't much but it was way better than what they were wearing till now.
Both girls were a bit surprised by the gifts but also happy as it made them way more comfortable than walking around with just a small piece of fabric to cover themselves.
The effect especially in Mia's case was quite arousing but it was still better than nothing.
After eating Paul and the girls went to see if there were some fish in their traps and they weren't disappointed as there were nine fish and all of them were big enough to become a fine meal.
It took some time for them to clean the fish and reset the traps but after that they didn't have anything more to do.
Paul decided that it might be a good idea to roast a whole rabbit for dinner and to have some cooked meat on the ready if it was needed.
So he took out a whole rabbit and showed the girls how to spit roast it while he would use the time to purify his mana and cultivate some Qi.
The girls understood what he wanted to do and stayed by the fire looking after the food while he crawled away to his usual Qi cultivating spot and started by purifying some of his mana.
