"What is this?" Aur thought as his expression morphed into contemplation.

"Hmm."

Aur slowly used the towel to dry himself up from the cool water as he walked out of the bathroom.

However, the moment he did, he had a bitter expression on his face. The floor was full of his shedded skin and foot imprints he left on the ground.

"I need to hide this before she scolds me again..." Without wasting any time, Aur dressed up and quickly cleaned the floor.

However, when he reached his own room while he was cleaning, he saw a greenish blood that was slowly making a sizzling sound slowly melting the ground.

"What's this?" Aur carefully looked at the greenish blood and observed the crawling worms.

"Was this thrown out of my body..." His eyes narrowed as he scanned his surroundings before quickly storing the blood in a plastic bag.

"Aur, are you coming or not?"

"Yes, Mother." He hurriedly left his room, feeling the fragrant smell of the food rubbing his stomach even from outside. However, he had a small mischievous smile as he saw a tiny figure in front of him.

"Brother, why did you take so long?" Ava put her two hands on her hips as she looked at Aur with a blazing fire in her eyes. "And why are you suddenly tall..."

Aur just walked up to her and pinched her cheeks.

Umu!

"Mom, look, big brother is bullying me."

Ava ran away while rubbing her red chubby cheeks as Aur proceeded towards the dining room too.

As he entered the room, seeing the smiling faces of Adam and Evelyn.

"Aur, did your height increase?" Evelyn said with a stunned expression.

"I don't know." Aur just shook his head. "Maybe I reached my growth spurt."

Both of them could only nod their heads when they heard this.

"Did you bully poor Ava again?" Evelyn looked at the pouting face of Ava as she hid behind her while rubbing.

"It's time to eat." A smile graced Aur's lips as he sat down to the food.

"Weren't you two just being buddies just previously, and now you two are fighting again? I truly can't understand these pairs of sisters and brothers..." Evelyn sat down as well.

While Ava took her tongue out and inflated her cheeks, making funny faces to tease Aur.

Pft!

Aur just smiled at her, which made her embarrassed as her chubby cheeks became red with embarrassment.

She hurriedly sat at the table.

"These chubby cheeks seem to be hereditary..." Aur muttered while feeling his own cheeks.

.....

"Is Aur here yet?" Emma made a circle around the place, looking nervously at the time.

Chloe casually sipped her coffee, lying comfortably on the sofa. Beside her were two medium-sized backpacks containing all the necessities they might need on this trip.

"What is she nervous for?" Chloe thought, shaking her head. "This girl has no patience."

Suddenly, they both heard footsteps, and their eyes lit up as they looked at the door simultaneously.

A tall white-haired young man revealed himself as the door slowly opened.

"Aur, you finally here?" Emma jumped with excitement. However, when she carefully looked at Aur, she was stunned, seeing only the black robes of Aur while faint contours of his muscles were revealed.

"Did you become taller?" she said, raising her head to finally see Aur's face.

"Hmm," Aur just nodded his head.

"So are we going now?"

"Why are you not carrying anything, Aur?" Chloe frowned instead of answering as she already started to regret her decision.

"What about this?" Aur pointed at his simple sword on his waist covered by a black scabbard.

"You are carrying nothing more than that..." Chloe looked at him with her eyes narrowed.

"Non." Aur just shook his body as he stretched. "Let's go now."

"I regret informing him now," Chloe muttered, speechless. Dungeons, even the relatively young one they found, were extremely dangerous places where your life could be at risk at any moment.

It was coveted by even mages. The only reason she could trust Aur with revealing this information was because she had closely observed his behaviour previously and knew his principles well.

He was the type of guy who would never work hard and always skip tasks whenever he got the chance. However, he was the most reliable and honest when needed and didn't care much about adventuring—it was like a side job to Aur who did it casually with no particular interest in it.

"Sigh, let's go then..." Chloe could only helplessly say as she carried her bag and followed him.

"Eh," Emma was stunned. "Wait for me, sister." She hurriedly took her bag as well and followed behind Chloe.

"I see you are going again, Aur, huh..." The guard had a fawning smile on his face as he heartily smiled at him.

"If the young master has any tasks, you can order me. I will fulfill them to the best of my ability, and please be careful outside the village, young master..."

Aur's expression turned strange seeing this, however, he nodded his head and went forward while the two twins followed him.

"So where are we going?"

He looked back only to see the twins having a strange expression on their faces.

"That grumpy guard has never greeted us even once, but now he is fawning all over Aur," a mischievous smile appeared on Emma's face. "Maybe he likes Aur now, seeing he has become so manly."

Aur was speechless when he heard this as he shook his head before flicking his wrist on her forehead.

Oww!

Emma touched her red forehead as she rubbed it with a tearful expression.

"I didn't hit you that hard, so stop overreacting..." Aur said speechlessly.
