Chapter 202 Charm Arts
"Who is this young man?" Ophelia's tender eyes flashed as she noticed Davis who was not at all fazed by her Charm Arts.
"He is our friend, Davis." Lucas replied meekly and added, "Also, don't call us Young Master or Young Miss, we do not belong to a family or clan."
Ophelia shook her head, "You do have a point but one day, you'll be forced to disband and create a place for yourselves. At that time, whether if you're a young master or a prince, it doesn't matter, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Now stop it please!" Lucas whined while he urged.
"Haha! Alright fine..." Ophelia gently laughed and stopped using her charm arts.
Davis couldn't understand the effects of the charm she cast on Lucas because of his powerful soul. He slightly cast his glance towards Lucas and was appalled to see his pants bulge, 'Getting turned on by just hearing her normal voice?'
"Hmm... With your group's strength, you should be about to hunt many Sky Beast Stage Steel Back Boars since we hunted most of the Spirit Beast Stage ones..." Ophelia muttered casually, giving off a pure smile that gave an artistic view to the environment in the eyes of the surrounding men.
"I thank Miss Ophelia for indirectly helping us..." Lucia replied with a fake smile on her face, not at all amused by her foxy demeanor.
"I see, then I'll see you three at the headquarters..."
She then casually moved away along with her group, finally causing Lucas to relax.
Davis looked at him and asked, "What exactly did she do to you?"
Lucas blinked as he looked exasperated, "You were unaffected?"
Davis just nodded while his sister disdainfully glanced at Lucas.
Seeing his gesture, Lucas became even more resolved to train his soul, "I was once caught staring at her peaks by her. So, from then on, whenever she sees me, she casts Charm Arts to tease me a lot."
"It can't be..." Lucia muttered with disbelief
Lucas revealed a wry smile, "Well, its probably because I kept staring at her even after I got caught, hehe..."
"You mean to say that you didn't learn your lesson?" Lucia exasperatedly questioned.
"Hmph! Since she dares to tease me, I'll continue to stare at her!" Lucas vigorously replied.
"Shameless!" Lucia disgustingly muttered while Davis also couldn't help but admire this fellow.
So brazen?
Davis also had another doubt on his mind, "Why didn't Lucia get affected?"
"Charm effects only works mostly on the opposite gender... I haven't heard any charm arts capable of affecting the same gender." Lucia replied smilingly.
Davis nodded but didn't totally believe in this, otherwise, there wouldn't have been gay or lesbians in the third layer; Planet Earth.
Maybe these two didn't know much about Charm Arts, so he didn't ask anymore.
"Elder Brother, you really should stop staring at her or else ninth brother would turn you into meat paste..." Lucia suddenly said, her face looked quite sinister if one were to see her expression.
Lucas shivered! This expression! She was definitely going to snitch on him to ninth brother!
"Okay, okay! I'll stop! I'll be a good brother, so please leave me some leeway, okay?" Lucas smilingly gave up.
"So, that Ophelia is your ninth brother's woman?" Davis asked, a little doubtful.
"Huh... Ninth Brother loves her but she doesn't reciprocate his feeling..." Lucas awkwardly smiled and looked at Lucia.
She still wore that sinister smile on her face.
"Alright, elder brother is wrong..." Lucas apologized and silently gave up but cursed his demonic little sister in his mind.
Lucia laughed as she exposed a smug face, thinking she won the verbal battle this time.
Thus, after the small encounter, they continued walking into the forest while Davis released his Soul Sense slowly, scouting the area around.
Suddenly, he sensed a huge presence hiding in a cave which immediately made him shut off his Soul Sense!
He looked at the two of them and muttered, "Let's not head east to hunt in this 50km radius..."
They didn't ask anything but nodded their heads.
"Alright, we'll meet here before the sunsets. Any questions?" Davis asked because he wanted to go solo!
Lucia asked with a confused expression on her face, "Hmm... Isn't this dangerous?
"It's fine. I checked the surrounding 50 kilometers, so there's no danger in the outer part of the Forest of Kyle. Besides, it seems that Ophelia's team cleared out those Spirit Beast Stage counterparts of our target. Just don't head east, and it's not like I forbade you two from teaming up, right?" Davis shook his head and left.
Then, those two also left to hunt down those Steel Back Boars.
.....
As time passed by gradually, the rays of the sun disappeared into the horizon.
Davis slowly walked to the point where they left, his spatial ring filled with the corpses and cores of Steel Back Boars.
Once he made it over, he saw both of them approaching in battered clothes.
He laughed at their figures and sat down on a rock, "What kind of careless mistake did you two make?"
Of course, Davis naturally knew what happened to them because he had his Soul Sense occasionally sweep over their direction while hunting.
"Lucia messed up..." Lucas muttered under his breath.
Lucia glared at him but then turned embarrassed once she thought of what happened.
"Alright, settle down!" Davis casually muttered and set up a campfire.
He took out the Steel Back Boar Corpse.
It was the size of a normal adult tiger, its back didn't seem like it had any flesh because it was covered with a metal that looked like steel.
"Lucia, dismember it..."
She nodded and used her wind energy to cut it into pieces.
"Clean it, Lucas." Davis gave the next command.
Lucas worked on it while using his water energy.
Later, they fixed the Boar above the campfire and roasted it before eating.
This is how they hunted in the wild and ate during their travel. Davis was sure that if they continued like this, they wouldn't even need to be commanded before they did their job.
As they slowly ate, tasting the succulent meat, Lucia stared at the fire before her like she was in an absent-minded state.
"What's wrong, Lucia?" Davis questioned on noticing her lost look.
Even though he worried about being a caretaker if he took both of them with him, unfortunately, he still became one inadvertently.
Lucia became startled. As soon as she understood the question, she recalled her thoughts and blushed.
Beside her, Lucas also stopped eating but didn't say anything else as he only secretly laughed, afraid that he might anger her again.
