Netori Harem: New life as a hunter and gatherer-Chapter 32: Show it to him?

It took him nearly an hour to finish planting the wires around the house. The small, elongated sticks he had been given worked perfectly as anchors, keeping the line steady and tight along the perimeter.

Now, all that remained was to drive the activation poles into the ground. Once that was done, the house would be sealed within a protective boundary.

Each pole stood about four feet tall. Unless someone deliberately searched for them, they would walk straight into the line and then... meet quite a torturous experience.

"Are you done here?" a voice asked from behind.

Luke’s brows lifted as he turned to see his dear sister-in-law standing there, a pitcher of water resting in her hand.

Luke wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "Yeah. But why did you come out?"

Dalia narrowed her eyes. "I hope you didn’t forget about our session."

Luke hummed softly. "I had extra work today. How about we do it tomorrow?"

She clicked her tongue. "You need to leave after sunset, right? We still have time."

He chuckled, a teasing glint in his eyes. "Look at you, so eager to be touched."

A faint blush crept up Dalia’s ears. Despite the cold mask on her face, she could not conceal the restless itch that had been bothering her since morning.

Luke shook his head. "Go wait for me in your room. And drink that water yourself. You look quite thirsty to me."

Dalia rolled her eyes and walked back inside without offering him the water.

Luke finished his work and headed to the back of the house to wash his hands and face.

He had been working relentlessly these past few days. Yet because of that, he could feel his body changing at a frightening pace.

’Is it normal for awakened humans to experience such drastic changes?’ he asked the system.

[Indeed, host. However, your development surpasses theirs, mainly due to your unique physique.]

Luke’s eyes narrowed slightly. ’What do you mean?’

[Apart from the fact that this body carries the soul of two individuals, your Gamma Pod possesses the ability to evolve, to expand, and to refine itself. That alone places you far above any other awakened.]

Luke nodded slowly. That explained it.

After finishing up, he dried himself and stepped back into the house.

He spotted Gustav in the dining hall, seated with Caleb and Laila.

They were in the middle of a conversation, but the moment they saw him, they fell silent.

Gustav turned toward his son. "Did you finish planting the trap?"

Luke nodded. "It’s not activated yet, but you can still trip over it if you’re careless. Don’t go outside unless it’s an emergency. And when you cross the boundary, watch your step."

Caleb leaned back, frowning. "Where did you even get something like that? There aren’t any trap makers in this village. Even beast traps are imported here and sold at ridiculous prices."

Luke shook his head calmly. "You don’t need to worry about that. Just make sure none of you step outside tonight."

Laila scoffed. "As if he was planning to in the first place."

Caleb frowned but held his tongue. She was right, and everyone knew it.

Luke glanced around. "Where’s Mother?"

Gustav informed him, "She seemed quite tired so I told her to sleep for a few hours." That reminded him, "What have you been doing last night that she got that tired?"

Laila added, "I heard making noises like Dalia too...what exactly are you doing to those two?" Her eyes were narrowed in suspicion.

Luke wryly smiled...if he told them what exactly have they done last night...how he had fucked his own mother, made her moan, beg for his cock and shot his load so many times deep inside her...yeah, that would indeed cause an uproar.

He simply said, "That’s between us. Now, I’ll continue Dalia’s treatment."

Without giving Laila the chance to press further, he walked toward Dalia’s room.

Inside, he found not only Dalia but her mate as well.

Lex stood to the side with his arms crossed, while Dalia looked visibly irritated.

"Today, I want to see what kind of treatment is healing her," Lex said, his voice firm and resolute.

He was curious to know what this useless piece of human trash could accomplish when even trained medics had failed. Since he was home tonight, he intended to judge everything with his own eyes.

Maybe Luke was deceiving them. Maybe Dalia felt better for a day, only for the pain to return later. If that happened, Lex would be forced to keep paying him again and again.

That was why he needed to see it himself.

Dalia, on the other hand, was stuck. Had she known Lex would insist on watching, she would never have asked Luke for another session.

Luke glanced between them and could not suppress a faint grin.

"What do you say, Dalia?" he asked lightly. "Should we let him see how I’m helping you?"

Dalia panicked. She knew any mate wouldn’t tolerate another man touching their mate’s sex.

But she knew that was the only way for her to recover. The only way she feels better...like a weight has been removed from her body.

In the end, Dalia could only say, "Don’t force yourself today. You already said that you have some work to do so focus on that."

Lex frowned, "But I am paying him to heal you within seven days."

Dalia turned to look at him and said, "He will heal me in time, don’t worry about it. It’s my body so I know that whatever he does to me is for the best."

Luke barely suppressed a chuckle from leaving his throat.

Who could have thought Dalia would be so desperately trying to keep their secret hidden that now, she was going against her mate to stand on his side.

’Damn, this woman is really a needy slut.’

He shook his head and said, "Alright then, I will take my leave."

Since he had some time, he would go and see the chief’s woman.
