Chapter 35 Wake up call.

Paul looked around but couldn't see anyone.

-Qi Yue is that you?

He asked in the hope of receiving an answer.

-Where are you?

He asked and started looking around the tree but he still did not find any trace of the little girl.

Then out of nowhere, she appeared along with her mother and aunt who were unconscious and had burns all over their bodies.

The little girl was also burnt and she looked like she was about to lose consciousness herself but she managed to hold on.

-Big brother, save mommy…

These were the only words she could say before the pain and exhaustion finally won and she fell unconscious.

Paul caught her before she hit the ground trying his best not to touch her burns.

-Guards!

He roared and the three guards arrived in seconds.

-Take them inside but be careful they are seriously hurt.

Paul commanded while carrying the little girl in his hands.

Once he was inside he called all the maids and also Mia and Maya to help him.

Every one of the women was terrified when they saw the little girl in such an awful state.

When the guards brought Qi Lan and Qi Xiao the maids almost fainted seeing their burns.

But Paul ordered them to bring the women into his bedroom and tend to their wounds to the best of their abilities.

At the same time, he took Qi Yue into the bathhouse and with the help of Maya and Mia took off her clothes but that was hard as some parts of her clothing stuck to her burnt skin and Paul didn't want to make her injuries worse by removing them forcefully so they used magic to soak the clothing and removed it slowly to avoid further injuries.

This took a lot of time but they had no other choice.

Paul could heal her injuries but if he did it with the pieces of clothing still stuck to her skin then he would most likely cause an infection and a lot of unnecessary pain to the girl.

Paul cast the healing spell the moment they got rid of all of her clothes but by that time Qi Yue already had a fever so they put the little girl into a bathtub filled with lukewarm water to keep her from overheating.

Maya stayed with her, while Paul and Mia went to see Qi Lan and Qi Xiao who also needed healing.

When they entered the room both women were already undressed and cowered with wet towels that the maids were changing every few moments to keep them cold.

-How are they?

Paul asked the oldest amongst the maids.

-Young master they are both alive for now but it is not certain that they will live through this and even if they do then they will be both disfigured for life without the help of a healing mage.

The maid explained the situation.

She pitied these two women as she saw them when they were here before and both of them were very beautiful.

-There should be no problem with that then as I am a healer.

Paul revealed, shocking all of the maids.

Till this moment they had no idea that they were serving a healer and he was a total opposite of any healer they had ever seen or heard of.

In their experience, the healer mages were all proud and arrogant bastards who always demanded exorbitant compensation for their services.

But now Paul shattered this image.

-Keep that a secret since I don't want anyone to know for now.

-Of course young master.

All the maids said at the same time.

They all knew their place and it was never a good idea to offend a healer mage.

Paul then asked them to leave and used his mana to heal both women.

Unfortunately, he didn't have much of it left since he used most of it to heal Qi Yue so he just made sure that both of them would survive for now.

This made him feel exhausted but he at least managed to save these three from death.

When it was done he ordered both women to be carried into Mia's room for now and a maid to watch them at all times.

The little girl would stay in Maya's room and she even volunteered to watch her.

Paul changed the bedding since it was all wet now and since he was exhausted and could not help in any way anymore he went to sleep.

Mia accompanied him for now as she was supposed to change with Maya later so both of them would have Paul to themselves for some time.

Unfortunately for them, he was dead tired after that night and slept like a rock.

The next morning Paul opened his eyes to see that only Maya was in his arms and she was hugging him tightly like she was afraid that he would disappear.

He stayed in bed with her for a while because he needed the time to think.

Last night he almost got himself killed and the cause of that was his inability to leave the people in trouble to their fate.

It was the same with the girls, but he at least had a chance to win against the rabbits.

This time however he would be helpless, and even escape would be impossible if the man wanted him dead.

This incident was a wake-up call that he needed.

It proved to Paul that he was nothing in the eyes of most experts and if they wanted to they could just kill him and take whatever they wanted from him.

This thought made Paul furious as he said that he would be strong but right now he was a nobody and could not even protect himself not to mention the girls.

In other words, things needed to change and fast or they would sooner or later all pay for his stupidity.

Once Maya woke up they got ready and went to visit their patients but all of them were still unconscious.

During the next few days, Paul and the girls constantly trained and cultivated to raise their levels and combat skills.

He told them the whole story about him being discovered and making it out alive only because the man didn't want to work for free.

This was enough of a wake-up call for all three of them to start serious training.

During these days Paul taught both girls how to use healing magic without casting a spell and also how to convert their mana into every element.

They needed that knowledge since they were already at the levels that made it possible to cast spells and since the first spell was precious, Paul taught them without spells to avoid wasting them.

Right now both girls are at level 32 in both cultivations thanks to their diligent cultivation and training.

Paul on the other hand reached level 51 which was a big leap.

If they continued at this pace he predicted that within at most a month he would enter the second stage in both cultivations and the girls would be not far behind.

The only thing that worried him right now was that the Qi family's ladies had not woken up yet even after he healed their bodies.

On the other hand, he still did not know how to break the news to them that they were now a part of the dead family as both Qi Mo and Qi Jun died.

-Young master…

His thoughts were interrupted by one of the maids coming his way with an unhappy expression.

-What is it?

-The owner has come and is asking to talk with you.
