Lucas inwardly sweated as he fearfully looked at Evelynn. He didn' think that his nephew's wife would a poison cultivator at all. His adam's apple moved, indicating his fear visibly.

Meanwhile, Evelynn felt guilty for her carelessness and misunderstanding, hence, she inadvertently averted her gaze. She didn't mean to poison him at all. It was just at that time, all inhibitions she had were cast aside since she felt that the 'intruder' was the one who poisoned her husband.

"Now then... I have shifted almost all the blame to Isabella, so you better go explain the situation to her if you don't want to get exposed."

Lucas became aghast, "H-How am I supposed to talk about this with a Seventh Stage Expert! Wouldn't I be courting death?"

"Well then, I'll go tell your family the truth now..." Davis pursed his lips and turned away to leave.

"Ah!! Nephew, don't!"

Davis didn't stop.

"Ahh! Captain! Lord! Savior! No! Please don't!" Lucas started to plead in a begging manner.

Only then did Davis stop and turned to look back at him. He found it hard to curb his laughter but successfully held it back. Besides, he didn't want to make this a big matter either.

He then walked towards Lucas and gave another antidote pill.

"Here, use this..."

Lucas looked at the pill and saw that it was greenish-blue in color. He grabbed the pill and with a sniff, realized that this pill should've been the one which detoxified him of Evelynn's poison.

Without a word of suspicion, he swallowed the pill and felt it revitalizing his body as if it was completely removing the poison that was hidden deep in his system.

"I'm sorry..." At this time, Evelynn apologized as she embarrassingly stated.

Lucas awkwardly laughed, "It's my fault..."

"Yes, you were there at the wrong time..." Davis added.

Lucas wanted to suddenly retort but then realized that his way of doing things had been hasty and suspicious.

"So what did you want to find me for? Even going as far as to be secretive?"

Lucas's heart palpitated before he turned to look towards the others. He then gazed at Davis, his expression saying that he could not reveal that in front of so many people.

As for communicating through Soul Transmission, that became impossible since he was just at Nascent Soul Stage. Nascent Soul Stage cultivators mostly couldn't even bring their Soul Sense out of their bodies.

Davis stared at him for two whole seconds before the three behind him voluntarily left the room, leaving behind him and Lucas.

Lucas took a deep breath but he turned hesitant. His cheeks became red as it blushed from embarrassment.

"I want to recover my manhood..." He meekly uttered.

Davis became wide-eyed and he finally understood the entire gist of the situation.

'No wonder he didn't reveal the fact of Evelynn poisoning him. On top of being sneaky and having a reason like this, he got his ass handed over to him by a woman.'

Davis had been initially confused about why Lucas hadn't revealed even a semblance of Evelynn in his fabricated story, but now, he understood all of it.

"Who are all in the know of the situation of your manhood?" Davis asked without beating the bush.

"Just my father and... Nina." Lucas didn't hesitate in answering.

These two were the only people who knew about his situation, that he is no longer a 'man'. Not even Lucia knew as she had rather failed to see his entire injuries at that time.

As for his mother and the other, he rather felt too ashamed, hence, he didn't speak of it.

"Oh... What did Nina say?"

Davis's interest piqued.

"She said that as long as I stay by her side, it was enough for her."

Lucas heartily said but then his expression fell....

Davis nodded his head and slightly advised.

"She's a keeper... Don't let her down..."

"I know..." Lucas's expression became solemn and complex, however, he couldn't help but glance at his private area. His expression then became sullen before it darkened.

Davis inwardly sighed as he could understand Lucas's emotions as a fellow man. If he were to lose his manhood, he had no doubt that it would deal an enormous blow to his confidence as well.

"Why ask me?"

There were so many people that Lucas could ask help from like his father who knew about his situation already but why him? Davis wasn't sure.

Lucas became slightly taken aback, "Uhh... Do you know about my father's history in this territory?"

"Slightly..." Davis nodded his head.

"I just heard it from my father about his past after you revealed your face. I came to learn about his disappointment with the Alstreim Family."

"Hence, I didn't want to burden him with this task as it would involve him with meeting many people, which might inadvertently reveal his background to the people here."

"Hence, I have no choice but to rely on you, captain..." Lucas revealed a wry smile.

"Your timing couldn't be any worse..." Davis sighed.

Lucas awkwardly laughed but became self-conscious of his disability again.

Davis heaved a long sigh and patted Lucas's shoulders, "Alright, I'm totally clueless about your matter but I'll look for an apothecary who will check your condition sometime later."

"Thanks, Captain!" Lucas finally revealed excitement on his face.

"Just call me Davis..."

"The apothecary will then treat you with their own expertise or prescribe you with the required pills, after which I'll help you purchase them."

"Sorry for the trouble, Davis..." Lucas awkwardly laughed before he hesitantly spoke, "Uhh... If possible, can you bring a female apothecary to examine me?"

Davis had a not so amused expression on his face.

Lucas hurriedly shook his hands, afraid that Davis had misunderstood him.

"I'm not so sure about showing my mess to another man..." Lucas grimaced as he said.

Davis shook his head, "No female apothecary would be willing to take a look at you unless you're a female or a person of status..."

Person of Status... In this Ethren Empire alone, there were many differences between people and people with higher statuses rather closely watch the hierarchy ladder so as to not let it collapse.

Ethren Empire followed the Aristocracy Hierarchy.

Starting from the Royalty, it goes all the way till Slaves. Below Royalty is Nobility, then Middleclass Citizens of the Second Level, Lowerclass Citizens of the First Level, Peasants who were also hired servants and finally Slaves.

Lucas inwardly gave up and he nodded his head while thinking, 'Beggars can't be choosers!'

He did not doubt Davis on this point.

Davis was clear of this matter because he had been often treated by apothecaries when he was Body Tempering in the Royal Castle.

The royal apothecaries were all killed during the rebellion, hence, the present apothecaries who treated him were all newly recruited ones, lacking achievements to become a true royal apothecary and not just in name.

Unlike doctors from modern earth who held on to their work ethics or just hung on to their wealth hungry hands, saving lives regardless of the gender, apothecaries held on to no such values except a minority who desired to purely save lives.

Since there was no such ethics, apothecaries just strived for status, wealth and a better life like any other normal being.

Nevertheless, since the female apothecaries had to strive a lot to prove themselves in the royal scene, they more or less fawned on Davis and the other siblings without a care for being conscious of the opposite gender.

However, here, in Ethren City, he is a nobody and so is Lucas. If they were to visit some female apothecary and told her to look at their crotches perhaps the whole family behind the female apothecary might have their swords pointed at them in retaliation.

The female apothecaries wouldn't even cast a glance at them unless they were interested in them for some random reason.
