Once the energy entered the wound, the whole body of the wounded woman started emitting the same white glow and her wound started to close rapidly.
Unfortunately, The spell ran out of power before it could close the wound completely but Paul was already drinking a mana potion, and a few moments later his mana was restored.
Using this power he cast another healing spell, however, this one was not as potent as the one before because he had no time to purify the mana.
But it did finish closing the wound.
It was not completely healed but this was the best he could do right now especially since he could not drink another mana potion for some time as nasty side effects were waiting for the people that did so.
When he finished casting the second spell, his legs gave out and he fell to his knees exhausted from using too much mana in a short amount of time.
Seeing this the guards rushed to help him and even the girl offered him a chair to sit down in.
She was a bit ashamed of her previous words, seeing that he gave his all to try and save her aunt when he had no obligation whatsoever to help them, especially after her words.
Most healers would just turn around and leave after what she said but he stayed and exhausted himself to save a stranger.
This alone made him a great man in her eyes not to mention that her aunt was still alive and her wounds were closed.
Paul leaned forward to check the pulse on the woman's neck.
It was there but it was very weak which was not surprising after the amount of blood this woman lost.
He was surprised that she managed to survive through all of this but it turned out that she was one tough woman.
-She is not out of danger yet but she should be stable for now.
He said a moment later.
-I need a place to cultivate.
He looked at the guards.
They helped him to their training grounds at the back of the barracks.
-You can cultivate here young master and we will make sure that no one will bother you.
The older guard said before he left to inform everyone about this matter.
Paul started to replenish his mana and purify the little amount that he had left.
It was past midnight when he finally managed to fully restore his mana pool and he even advanced a level.
He opened his eyes to see four guards waiting around the training ground and making sure that no one bothered him while he was cultivating.
-How is the wounded woman?
He asked the nearest guard.
-She is still alive but has a fever now.
The guard reported what he knew.
-Bring me there.
Paul said and the guard showed him the way while the rest of them went to get some sleep.
Once he entered the room he saw the woman sweating profusely and she had a high fever he approached her immediately and touched her forehead which was burning hot at this point.
-I need a piece of clean cloth, a bucket of clean water and some honey.
He said and the guard immediately went to get the items.
-Will she be alright?
The girl asked worriedly.
-I don't know but right now she is fighting for her life and My level is too low to get rid of this fever so I will try to cool her down to prevent overheating her body.
He explained.
Once he got what he asked for he took a cup of water from the bucket and used magic to cool the rest to the temperature right before freezing.
Then he soaked the piece of cloth in the water and put it on the woman's forehead after which he took out a pair of unused chopsticks and added some honey to the cup of water before handing it to the girl.
-Open her mouth and drop some water with honey onto her tongue but not more than a couple of drops at a time.
He instructed.
This was the only idea he had to give his patient some water and at the same time administer one of only a few natural antibiotics that he knew of.
On earth, he would just call an ambulance but in this world, there was no help if you were out in the boonies and he refused to give up if there was even a shred of hope to save this person.
This attitude shocked even himself as this woman was a stranger to him and he had no reason to save her, but here he was doing what he could to save the life of a stranger and he wasn't even a doctor.
Paul spent the whole night taking care of the woman and the young girl did the same.
He even found a moment to see if the man sleeping on the other bed was alright but he was in no danger and only needed time to recuperate and heal his wounds.
At dawn, the fever finally broke and the woman fell into sleep which was the best cure for her right now.
Paul was exhausted since this was his second night without any sleep and even his cultivation was not enough to compensate for that.
The moment he knew that the woman survived the night he fell onto the third bed in the room and was out before his head even touched the pillow.
He was woken up a few hours later by the guards.
-Young master, the woman you healed at night seems to be doing better so why don't you go get some rest for now the inn has way better beds than we have here.
The guard said and Paul nodded, he needed some sleep and the girls might be worried by now.
The guard commander sent four men to escort him back and make sure no one tried to pick a fight with him.
Since he exhausted himself to save someone in his town, he owed him this much at the very least.
Once they reached the Inn Maya and Mia ran to them seeing Paul so exhausted they asked the guards what had happened.
-Your master exhausted a lot of mana and stayed up the whole night to save a person's life so make sure that he gets to rest since he needs it.
One of the guards explained the situation.
Both girls were terrified since this meant that he had no sleep for two nights straight.
Paul who was even now half-conscious allowed the girls to take him to his room and once he fell on the bed he fell asleep immediately.
It was already night when Paul finally woke up and discovered that he was in his room in the Inn and wasn't sleeping alone.
Mia and Maya were sleeping beside him using his chest as a pillow.
He remembered the last night but could not figure out how he ended up back at the inn and why were the girls sleeping with him in the same bed.
After some time trying to remember he gave up and went back to sleep since he didn't want to disturb the girls also he had no reason to complain as sleeping with two beautiful girls was something he could only dream of in the past but now it was a reality and it gave a great boost to his self-confidence in which he was always lacking.
In the morning Paul was the first one to wake up and stayed motionless allowing the girls to have some more sleep.
He felt a lot better after he had enough sleep and was now hungry but he could endure it if it meant that he could enjoy the company of his two beauties a little longer.
Once the ladies woke up they were flustered when they saw him awake and looking at them with a pleasant smile.
Both of them blushed like they had never before and almost jumped out of bed which made Paul laugh in amusement.
But a moment later he was not laughing anymore when Mia gave him a piece of her mind.
They were worried about him when he did not return for the night and even in the morning.
Also, they saw how tired he was when the guards brought him back, and even if they were proud that their master saved someone's life they were worried sick if he did not hurt himself in the process.
Paul listened to her without interruption and only now did he figure out that he was not alone anymore and it stung when she asked him her final question.
-Master what will happen to us if you are gone?
He knew that she was right, even if he set the marks on their bodies to disappear once he was dead and set them free, what were they supposed to do?
-I'm sorry ladies I should have thought about this earlier and I promise you that this will not happen again.
This was not the normal dynamic between master and slave but this time he had to admit that he screwed up and he owed them that apology.
Besides he already knew that he had feelings for the two of them and did not want them to hate him.
