Chapter 23 - Chapter 23 What happened?

Within half a day Paul restored his mana to the fullest and even managed to advance a level.

With the mana he now possessed he could heal Mia and then focus on his own recovery.

Paul went to the shelter where Mia was lying as he had forbidden her to move too much as her wounds could still open up.

He healed her in one go using up most of his mana.

The wounds on her body disappeared like they were never there and she didn't feel any pain anymore.

-Now tell me what exactly happened yesterday?

Paul said to the girls once he was done.

-We went to see if there were any fish in the traps and started cleaning them after we reset the traps but then this big pig showed up.

Mia started to explain.

-We thought that it would be a nice gift for master so I attacked it with my knife but it was strong and fast and I couldn't hurt it no matter how many times I cut it.

Then I focused my Qi and sent it into my knife and that worked.I was able to injure it but it got furious and became even faster than before.

It managed to injure my leg and then rammed into me when I was unable to dodge.

I stabbed my knife into its leg to slow it down and then Maya helped me to escape when we figured out that we couldn't win.

The girl finished her story with her head down.

Paul was speechless as even if he was in his peak condition right now he would not even try to kill this thing and he would just leave as it was most likely that the boar just came to the river to drink some water and had no intention to attack anyone.

This oversized pig was way more powerful than the blood rabbits and also it was a spirit beast.

Paul managed to kill it only thanks to the girls enraging it.

-Girls listen, I appreciate that you wanted to hunt this boar for me but don't do anything like that in the future, at least not until you are strong enough.

This time you both were incredibly lucky that it didn't want to kill you at the beginning and was just trying to chase you away otherwise you would not be able to survive.

Hearing his words both girls hung their heads low.

He wasn't scolding them but explaining what they did wrong with a calm voice however it stung them all the same.

They both knew that it was their fault as they created this mess out of nothing and now their master had to heal the older sister instead of healing himself, which Mia felt terrible about as this was supposed to be the last treatment for him and after that he would be able to walk again.

-This is also partially my fault.

Paul said and those words made the girls shocked.How was this mess his fault?

If anything he was the one that saved them and even killed that beast.

-I was the one who taught you cultivation and I even gave you weapons but I forgot to teach you about the beasts and other dangers.

Paul continued,unaware of the girl's thoughts.

He really messed up this time as he always treated them like humans which they were aside from their green skin and ash gray hair so he forgot that they were living as female goblins till not long ago and had no idea about the dangers of beasts not to mention how to differentiate between a normal beast and a spirit beast.

When he thought about it,it wasn't strange that they considered the idea of killing a boar to be a good one since they didn't know any better.

-From now on you will learn everyday about the beasts and other things and when we get to town I will try to get some books for you two to read, for now you don't attack any beast no matter what they are,if they won't attack you then you both better leave them alone.

-Yes,master.

Both girls said, acknowledging his instructions.

Paul was determined to correct his mistake as the girl's ignorance was dangerous not only to them but to him as well.

He took out the dead boar from his storage space and explained to the girls that this thing was a spirit beast and how they could tell it apart from a normal boar.

The biggest difference was that this thing was at least three or four times bigger than a normal boar and it had unusually long tusks.

There were many characteristics that could help them to identify it and Paul showed them everything as this was their lesson for today.

When he finished he had sent them once again to check the traps but this time if they encountered any beast,they were ordered to leave quietly if it wasn't threatening to them and if it was then they had to run as fast as they could.

Both girls went to get the fish and he started to cultivate Mana once again as he wanted to cast the last healing spell on himself today.

Paul really missed the mana potions and spirit pills that would allow him to restore his mana and Qi in a very short amount of time and he made a mental note to buy some when he was in town.

He wasn't worried about the money as he had the rabbit skins to sell not to mention the mana carrots that he had to kill the rabbits to obtain and now he even had a spirit boar so the money would not be a problem as soon as he got into a town.

He also had a list of shopping to do and the first items on that list were the clothes for the girls and for himself as the ones he had now were already looking like rags since he had to crawl to move around and the fights he had with the beasts didn't help either.

Other than that he also wanted to buy some pills,potions,books,steel knives,some cups and at least one pot to cook in.The list went on and on but he would have to see what was affordable when he sold his items.

For now he had to focus on cultivating as he first had to be able to walk to even go to the town.

Soon the girls returned with some fish and this time there was no incident as they hadn't met any other beast.

Paul made another mental note to scout the area around the camp once he was able to walk to see if the boar hadn't left any herb or other treasure around.

While Paul continued to cultivate the ladies decided to take a day off from cultivation and went to take a bath in the river as they always enjoyed the time they spent bathing.

They even invited Paul to join them but he declined as he was determined to heal himself today.

The more important reason was that they would most likely bathe naked and he didn't want them to think that he was a pervert especially since his little brother between his legs was already healed and fully functional.

Add to that the fact that he was now back in his sixteen years old body that was full of hormones and that both girls were beauties with sexy figures and they weren't even fully matured yet.

With all that summed up,he had hard enough time already trying to keep his urges under control.

So the girls went by themselves and he stayed and focused on replenishing his mana.

As the time went on and the sun was beginning to hide behind the horizon Paul finally managed to gather enough mana to cast the final healing spell and he would even have some mana left after that.

After the incident with the boar he decided that he would never use up all his mana again as it was too dangerous not to have any reserve. 

At the same time the girls came back,their hair still wet from the bath as they bathed for a long time and when they took a break they even managed to wash their clothes and hung them on a branch to dry which they did as it was sunny today.

Paul decided to wait with the healing till after supper and he started to roast some pieces of the rabbit meat.
