<h4>Chapter 203 Narrow Escape</h4>


    "It''s nothing…" Lucia made a sound of refuting and shook her head as she hid her blush by controlling her emotions.


    "Hmm?" Davis frowned.


    Although he knew how they got battered, he didn''t know the cause of it since his Soul Sense was only concentrating on those two''s well being.


    So he was more or less curious about what had happened at that time.


    "Oh,e on, Lucia. Didn''t you ask me? Maybe Davis will have the answer." Lucas provoked her while secretly holding back his suppressedughter, and this time his gaze eyed Davis aiming to embarrass him.


    "Go ahead, if it is within my knowledge, I can answer any question that might bother you…" Davis uttered with a confident expression on his face.


    ncing at that, Lucas turned jubnt as he sneered, ''Even I don''t dare to answer her! Let''s see how you answer her when you''ve not even witnessed those acts!''


    Lucia hesitated for a moment but still shook her head, "There is no way you would know…" But then her eyes suddenly brightened, "Wait! Didn''t you say you live in the mountains or forests? So you should know about it…"


    Hertter sentence came as a mutter.


    Davis nodded patiently but thought confusedly, ''Why is she beating around the bush for?''


    "Then do you know why two Steel Back Boars rammed their bodies at each other''s front while emitting weird cries? Were they fighting?" Lucia''s mouth opened, her face was straightden with a serious expression.


    The atmosphere suddenly went silent.


    Davis suddenly had a reminiscent feeling of deja vu shing past his mind. This familiar yet a different kind of question… Davis sighed as he red.


    "What are you staring at me for?" Lucia questioned meekly, not able to understand why he looked at her like that.


    "Maybe you should ask your brother, no?" Davis smiled faintly. Now he understood why Lucas threw the question to him.


    Lucas shook his head heavily, "I don''t know!" But muttered inwardly under his breath, ''She obviously couldn''t connect that with our parent''s nightly affairs! If I let her know then she will attack me from embarrassment!''


    Narrowing his eyes, Davis cursed in his mind, ''Bastard! You clearly knew but making me exin it to a young girl!? You''re unscrupulous!''


    He certainly didn''t want to taint this pure soul into the world of adults. In fact, he was astonished to see this 14-year-old girl not aware of these matters of the world despite living in a ce where many people existed, how could it be possible?


    Maybe it was because she was extremely sheltered? He didn''t know…


    "Lucas! You better exin it to herter! Or else when she grows up, she might get hoodwinked by some young master…" Davis told with a calm expression on his face but inwardly sneered.


    Lucas grew stunned because he didn''t think that far ahead.


    "You two!!" A shout echoed out in the middle of their conversation.


    "Exin it to me! Why are you two acting like this?" Seeing them behave in a strange manner, Lucia got confused.


    She also got angered that these two know about this matter yet she didn''t. She felt that this was unfair and they were keeping secrets from her.


    Lucas didn''t even hear her words, instead, the words Davis uttered echoed in his mind.


    He suddenly looked at her and seriously exined, "Lucia…"


    A minute or two passed by the time he finished exining it to her.


    Lucia''s expression turned red, yet she didn''t act flustered, "But… But Father and Mother were only just cing their lips on each other…"


    Lucas sighed and confessed, "It''s only an illusion formation set up by our father, it''ll only show what you want to see in that ce…"


    Davis silentlyughed before he jumped up on a thick branch and sat down in the lotus position, "I''m going to cultivate…"


    Lucia almost cried when she looked at her brother, "Why didn''t you say this before!? It''s your fault for making me say embarrassing things!"


    Lucas wryly smiled. That''s why he wasn''t interested in his parent''s nightly affairs but only apanied Lucia since she seemed to want to know more about it.


    Now, he expected Davis to be embarrassed about this matter but instead, he was warned about needing to exin it to Lucia for her safety.


    He totally didn''t expect the tables to have turned on him.


    Looking up at the sky, he sighed, ''Maybe I''ll suffer for two or three days from her fists…''


    A few minutes passed in awkward silence before Davis opened his eyes immediately and jumped down.


    "We''re leaving!" He quickly came towards Lucia and Lucas, grabbed the both of them and left swiftly in the direction of the setting dawn.


    A few minutester, the trees shook while the ground quaked from tremors at the spot where Davis left.


    A huge silhouette appeared near the campfire and growled heavily that echoed throughout the forest.


    The nearby Magical Beasts scrambled for a ce to hide, fearing for their lives.


    The huge wolf-like Magical Beast looked at the roasted Steel Back Boar as it approached and then it nced in the direction where Davis left before it started to devour the remaining piece of roasted flesh.


    Then it looked in the direction of east before it took off.


    …


    Hearing the growl, Lucia and Lucas''s heart skipped a beat for a moment.


    Davis suddenly uttered, "A Peak-Level Grand Beast Stage Magical Beast…"


    Both of them shuddered a little before heaving a sigh of relief.


    They both understood that if they left a littlete, the Magical Beast would''ve been on their trail.


    Davis narrowed his brows, "A Fifth Stage Magical Beast that should have been in the inner part of the forest. For what reason did ite to the outer part…"


    He had no idea, so he thought of using his Soul Sense but decided against it since the magical beast might get offended ande after them.


    Little did he know that it hurried off to hunt the presence in the cave he detected earlier.


    After deciding not to stay there anymore, they continued their journey in the night time by circling through the outer zone of the forest.


    With Davis around, they managed to avoid most of the Magical Beasts which were on their hunt or hibernation.


    In the span of a single night, they exited Kyle Forest and made their way north, sessfully entering the border of Uriel Kingdom.


    They continued their journey for a full day before they arrived at the capital of the Uriel Kingdom.
