When he was left alone, Alexander decided to keep a lookout in the vige. He then disappeared in the spot. He was then back in the forest, observing the surroundings.


    "What kind of magic or artifacts that the Vige chief seems to be controlling the beast?" Alexander mumbled, filled with question marks.


    He really had no idea what it was. After circling the ce and not finding any clues at all, he decided to stay up here for a while. But after waiting for a whole day, he found nothing. With that, before night strikes, he goes for hunting food.


    This time, he captured at least one boar in the outskirts of the forest. He also tried to store the dead boar in the system storage, and yes it worked.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    As he went back, he saw that Aeloria was standing at the door looking at the horizons. Seeing this, Alexander pursed his lips wanting to scare her.


    Aeloria, not knowing what was going to happen, was staring nkly at the sky. Suddenly, a shadowy figure appeared in front of her. She was shocked at the same time she was very scared.


    "Ahh!" she eximed, as she took a step back and slipped.


    Alexander, seeing this, hurriedly held her in the waist to stop her from falling. The feeling of holding her waist made him heart thump again.


    "I''m so sorry about that," Alexander said, truly regretting what he did.


    Aeloria was about to struggle from the unknown person who just appeared out of thin air, but when she heard the voice, she stopped and looked at his face. Her racing heart calmed down as the two were looking at each other.


    Alexander was staring at her nkly again. He slowly pulled her waist closer to him, while Aeloria did not struggle from his movements.


    His consciousness returned suddenly, seeing that what he was doing was really inappropriate. "Sorry about that, I shouldn''t have done that," he muttered in a low voice, as he diverted his gaze.


    He slowly lifted her up and put her down gently, like a delicate flower, afraid to hurt her. Aeloria''s face was so red, feeling his soft and gentle touch. She didn''t know why her heart was racing like a wave by being touched.


    "It''s okay, Alex, but please don''t do that again. You freaked me out just now," she replied, while narrowing her eyes, lecturing him.


    But to Alexander, her actions and the way her eyes narrowed, while pursing her lips, were very cute to look at. Seeing his smile all of a sudden, her cheeks reddened suddenly, as she touched her face that was hot as pepper.


    "Big sister, is food ready yet? Anya is hungry," the little girl, Anya muttered while yawning, her eyes were still sleepy, clearly she just woke up.


    Seeing that Anya was awake, Aeloria''s embarrassed face disappeared as she looked at her dotingly.


    "Okay Anya, this big sister is going to cook for you, okay," she said while patting her head.


    Alexander then took out the boar, appearing beside him, that was already dead.


    "Oh yeah, here is the lunch for tonight," he said while unstoring it in his system inventory.


    Seeing another piece of beast in front of her, Aeloria was very speechless. She felt like that poverty and starvation were not a problem anymore if she was with Alex.


    "That''s so big, Alex. You do know that we still have a lot of meat here from what you have captured yesterday. We are going to be fat thanks to you," Aeloria said with a sigh, but also thankful since their life seemed to be much easier.


    "Don''t worry, if you turned fat, you would still look beautiful," Alexander muttered, raising his palm, touching her cheeks.


    Aeloria was surprised from the sudden touch. She was frozen for a moment, as her whole body felt like it was electrified, even though there was no electricity. Her face turned red as a tomato, but she did not stop him.


    Alexander finally noticed what he had done, and was stunned. This hand of his seemed to be possessed, doing whatever it wanted.


    "Sorry about that, I will be staying over there while you cook," Alexander muttered, taking his hands back as he ran to escape.


    Seeing his actions and the shy expression on his face, she couldn''t help but release a giggle. She did not hate it, but she seemed to like being touched by Alex, the man she just met yesterday, not knowing why.


    "Anya, I want you to go with your big brother Alex while I prepare for dinner, okay," Aeloria said to the little girl Anya, who was still sleepy.


    Anya just hummed in reply as she walked outside the house and went towards Alexander, while Aeloria began to prepare for dinner.


    Alexander also lit up a fire, so it wasn''t darker. He was currently sitting in the chair, his two arms were ced on the table as his elbows were ced on it and his arms were crossed, putting his jaw while thinking deeply.


    "I have to control myself more often, these devil hands of mine are literally turning me evil," Alexander stated inwardly as his eyes were staring nkly at the trees with a serious expression.


    "Big brother Alex, can Anya sleep in yourp?", she said with her arms up. She was even still sleepy after sleeping for who knows how long.


    Alexander smiled from this cute little girl, he could never say no since he really like her. Just for some short info. His not a pedophile, but the author is, but that''s not the point or you could say that''s besides the point :D


    He then ced her on hisp while she began to sleep again, hugging him as her face was in her chest, having a good sleep with a smile blooming on her face.


    Alexander''s heart was melting seeing her actions, and he could not help but sigh. If he left this ce, he had no idea if he could ever get back to this ce and meet Aeloria and little Anya.


    Imagining this made him sad, but as long as he was here, he must enjoy this moment than ever.


    After a half an hour, finally the food is ready. Alexander slowly woke up Anya who was sleeping soundly on him. Waking up, Alexander helped with the arrangement of the table as they began to eat.


    As their stomachs were filled, Alexander rested for a bit. He then bid his farewell towards Aeloria, saying that he would scout for any abnormality that was going to happen in the vige.


    Seeing his actions, she thought that he must still be embarrassed about what had happened earlier. The forest this time was dark as he circled the vige again, if he could find those ck people, I''m not talking about their skin color but their ck clothes like a ninja. So its not racist.


    He circled the ce but stopped after an hour, not finding something weird. He decided to stop and sat in the tree branches.


    Suddenly, he caught something in his pupil, in the center of the vige, he saw one person walking in the middle of the night. Even though it was 500 meters away from him.


    His vision was sharp, like that of an eagle even seeing its face. He hid his presence above as he observed him. He could see that the vige chief just stood there and then mumbled something in the air, which he could not hear.


    Bernard then observed his surroundings as he left the ce, which made him narrow his eyes. Suddenly he felt something weird. He didn''t know, but the air seemed to have changed, making him wonder what he had done.


    When he saw that he left, he went down the tree as he stood at the center of the vige where there was the big rock in ced. He circled the ce but found nothing.


    He could really feel the sudden change of atmosphere just a seconds ago, but now it was gone.


    "Is it just my imagination? Or is there really some secret here?" Alexander muttered in a low breath while his brows furrowed, full of questions in his mind.


    He decided to leave this ce, since he really had no idea. He could juste back tomorrow night and capture the vige chief and question him, since what he was doing right now could already cause some questions for the vigers.


    As he left the ce, he went back, then looked at the window and saw that the two were already asleep. Seeing they were fine, he leaped up to the tree, but did not sleep since cultivating felt much better than sleeping.


    Not only could his mind be so calm, just like still water, but he would also feel full of vitality and energetic tomorrow. Which is literally better than sleeping.


    Sitting in the lotus position, he began to cultivate.


    He then began to draw the energy in the surrounding area, not even thinking about absorbing the bluish energy.


    As he activated the [Vital Draw Technique], he closed his eyes. In the outskirts of the vige, every beast and flying creatures were groaning and convulsing, not knowing why it was happening.


    They groaned as they rolled on the ground. Suddenly their eyes turned red as they stood still. When morning strikes and only half of the sun was up, the beasts then began to move.
