"Mm!" Suddenly, Nova stopped breathing as she had just taken a breath in. She stared at Arthur and her skin turned very red, a strange change.
Seeing this, Arthur rolled his eyes while Isabel approached Nova and asked, "what happened to you?"
The first one understood what happened to Nova while Isabel was not so sure as her knowledge of spiritual things was still limited.
"N-no, I just mismanaged my energy," Nova replied hastily.
Isabel, of course, did not believe her answer. Although mismanaging energy was not something impossible, it was also not something that happened often. It only happened if someone was disturbed by certain things.
She looked at Arthur, trying to figure it out from him.
And just as she looked at her nephew, he suddenly stepped back, stopping about three meters behind Nova.
The latter was too embarrassed. However, perhaps out of curiosity, she glanced at him once, something that made her cheeks turn even redder.
'Moon Goddess, please protect me from this madness,' she prayed silently.
It really shocked her. When she heightened her sense of smell and smelled Arthur's body scent, she suddenly felt her body heat up instantly. It was certainly not a heat caused by fever or the like, but as if her blood was boiling, increasing something called desire in her.
She realized that she was aroused just by smelling Arthur's body scent.
Fortunately, she was able to stop breathing before or she would have experienced something she could not predict.
Actually, this was not something new for her.
Every human has a different body scent, some are scents she dislikes and some are scents she likes. However, so far, no matter how much she liked a man's body scent, it never reached the point that made her aroused.
Arthur's body scent was really a different case. She wondered what made the man have such a scent.
And she thought she would not be able to forget that scent, which seemed like a combination of gentle sweetness and warm morning.
Arthur knew it was due to his unique Spiritual Core. The fact that his body scent reached that point was also beyond his expectations.
For his great magus body, it was normal, but his body here was only slightly above mortal, so it was really unusual.
He deliberately stepped back so that Nova could use her sense of smell without smelling his body scent excessively.
However, even though Arthur was about three meters behind Nova, the young woman still stepped forward three meters, looking like she wanted to increase the distance between her and Arthur.
Only after arriving there did she use her sense of smell again.
Isabel, although she did not understand what was happening at first, began to understand it after some time and observation. However, she was a smart woman, even if it was strange to her, she could understand it in a short time.
Her gaze at Arthur became strange. She approached him and breathed harder.
However, besides his perfume scent, she did not smell any other scent.
"Aunt, you'd better not try anything strange or something bad will happen to you," said Arthur, giving her advice.
He did not have a sense of smell like Nova, but if she continued to try to smell his scent, she might be able to smell it a little.
Of course, just because Nova was aroused by his scent, it did not mean that others were the same. It still depended on each person's preferences.
But it's better to be cautious about it.
Isabel smiled, saying, "it seems like you have a lot of advantages that can help you get women easily."
Arthur was not sure what she meant by that, he replied, "some men are just created like that."
Right after he said that, her hand suddenly moved towards his waist and then pinched him.
"Aunt, what are you doing?" Arthur couldn't help but be confused by her actions. He wondered what caused her to pinch him.
"Remember, you're a European man, not the Emperor of China, don't lose control around women," she said.
'What is she talking about?' Arthur was unsure of the woman's thoughts.
Unfortunately, she didn't speak anymore.
Meanwhile, Nova had finally finished tracking. She approached Arthur again.
"The owner of the scent should be about 1.5 kilometers ahead," she said.
That was certainly far away and still within the forest as this forest was quite vast.
Arthur wondered who lived there.
"Is there really someone here?" Isabel said suspiciously, gazing ahead.
If it weren't for Nova saying it, she wouldn't have believed it.
Plus, as a member of the congress from the City of Vera, she knew that this forest didn't have a designated area for humans. It was a protected forest. No projects were allowed here.
"Let's continue," Arthur said with a thin smile.
Whoever it was, he didn't care.
If it was a magus, he thought it would be a pleasant meeting.
If it was just some strange person, one kick would be enough to handle any problems that might arise.
Isabel and Nova nodded. They quickly returned to the tributary.
Arthur himself left the tamed snake there.
Arriving at the side of the tributary, they jumped onto the tree trunk again.
"By the way, how far is the cave from here?" Arthur asked Nova after they all successfully landed.
He still didn't know if the cave was further away or the owner of the scent.
Nova should also not know because when talking about the cave, she only said she heard there was a cave at the end of this tributary. In other words, she had never entered this area.
She also didn't know how long this tributary was.
However, when she used her sense of smell, she should be able to guess the location of the cave because all caves have a unique scent that can be detected by animals with a sharp sense of smell.
"They're close, only about 100 meters away. However, the cave is on that side while the owner of the scent is on the other side," Nova answered, pointing to two different directions.
Arthur held his chin for a moment, imagining the two places.
After that, he hastened the movement of the tree trunk.
