But seeing that Zaira did not have a lineage, Theo thought his sister Zaika had some vestige of the Dark Flame Wolf's bloodline and the grass was the trigger that woke it up, although that was somehow hurting her.
Imagining what he could do to help Zaika the Crimson Wolf, Theo approached Zaika who was apparently sleeping but moaning often in agony.
Zaira the Dark Wolf stood on the side, looking at Theo, but did not try to interrupt him.
Moving closer and closer to Zaika, Theo placed his left hand on Zaika's head and began to use his Mana to try to investigate where the problem was.
Closing his eyes, he concentrated, trying to investigate Zaika's body. Theo began to circulate his Mana into her body.
Not long afterward, he opened his eyes in surprise as he was able to truly discover the cause of the problem. But in order to cure her, he would have to spend a good amount of points in his system, but then he looked at Shina, Yuki, Yui, and Zaira.
"Never mind, I don't want to disappoint you!" No longer caring about the points he would have to spend, Theo bought:
[Points: 250,000] - [Average Pure Mana Pill: Recommended only for those in the Student Kingdom]
[It has a lot of concentrated Pure Mana]
Buying the [Average Pure Mana Pill], a flask with a milky pill of pure mana appeared. Seeming to be made of the purest Mana Zaira ever saw.
Shina, Yuki, and Yui were not surprised to see the pill in Theo's hand, but Zaira had her mouth and eyes wide open, for she could tell that this pill was even more precious than the herb she and her sister had eaten.
She did not understand why Theo had brought this pill, but seeing his next actions, she could not help but let tears flow from her eyes as she saw Theo open her sister's mouth and put the pill into her mouth.
Seeing Zaira cry, Yuki who was closest to her, began to run her hand over Zaira's head, affectionately.
Sensing a strong Mana entering her body, Zaika opened her eyes and began to look at Theo with fear and caution.
Seeing this, Theo said, "Do not worry! I'm trying to help you."
She caught sight of her sister not far away, nodding as if to say she could trust Theo.
She just nodded, as she was trying to bear the pain she was feeling, which was very strong. Theo knew that Zaika was very weak, so he put his hand on her head and said, "Close your eyes and concentrate, begin to circulate the Mana that is entering your body and follow my Mana."
Watching her nod and close her eyes, Theo also closed his eyes and began to guide her to where the central point of her body was, where her lineage was being awakened.
In reality what Zaika was feeling was the pain of awakening her lineage because, in order to do this, she needs lots of pure Mana. However, the Mana in her body possessed many impurities so she was in constant pain and suffering, for her lineage was taking her purest Mana from her body trying to awaken.
But because of this, she felt pain all over her body, since the Mana she was losing from her body, causing her to have a negative reaction on her body and making her body was no longer work as it should, even more, due to having more impurities than Mana, affecting all organs of his body.
And also, because her cultivation technique was not good at collecting Mana, she couldn't recover the lost Mana in time, so as time went by, the pain and weakness she was feeling would only get worse and worse. No wonder her appetite diminished.
Theo also noticed that her awakened lineage was not weak, so she was in need of quite a lot of pure Mana and if she delayed it for too long, she might end up dying.
Of course, this was the analysis that Theo did, he was not very knowledgeable about the awakening of bloodlines yet. Although he had one, it was something he got through the system and the Mana in his body since he began to cultivate was very pure, with his cultivation technique being very good, so he managed to create his lineage without risk of life, despite feeling a lot of pain.
But even he who possessed a purer Mana and an even better technique... already felt tremendous pain, imagine how strong must be the pain that Zaika the Crimson Wolf is feeling now! At least Theo did not want to go through such pain.
Although they did not understand what Theo was doing, they were silent, not wanting to disrupt it in any way. Even Yui, who was wanting to go to Theo, in one of the rare cases, was rebuked by Yuki, who in response was pouting, but decided to listen to her obediently, because Yuki said she would hit her butt if she did not obey.
And remembering once that she had eaten cake when dinner was almost ready, even though Yuki said she should not do it but ended up doing it anyway.
Yuki rebuked her and placed her on her lap with her butt up and began to spank her. Although she did not feel much pain because of her high cultivation, little Yui did not like being reprimanded by her mom and being spanked. After that, she learned that she shouldn't do this, as she would be reprimanded by her mother.
A while later, the Crimson Wolf Zaika began to expel black liquids from her body, which were clearly the impurities she had in her body. Her vitality was constantly increasing, making her coat turn red until it became a more vivid red colour.
Sweating a little, Theo began to walk away because everything he could do for her has already been done, now it depended solely on her, but at least it was no longer life-threatening.
Breathing a little tired, Theo went to them and said, "I've done what I could, now it's up to her, but don't worry! Her life is no longer at risk."
"Thank you, Master!!" Zaira said in a voice full of gratitude and respect, she bowed once more to Theo, unable to contain her emotions, not knowing if she could repay what he did for her and her dear sister.
Theo did not have time to answer her, as little Yui left Yuki and ran into his embrace. Theo crouched a little and picked up little Yui with his arms, who smiled happily.
"Naughty girl, you were rebuked by Yuki again, right?" Although when Theo was helping Zaika, he could still hear the conversation between Yuki and Yui, he could barely keep from laughing at the time, but he managed to hold on.

Extra Scene by Author~
On a random day of the three weeks that passed, Theo felt like taking a walk in his Golden Fox form in the woods. After running and killing some Animals and Monsters until he was satisfied, he headed back to his Village.
Shaking his head from side to side and wagging his tails as he came back, Theo began to hum happily:
I am the Golden Fox and I will devour you ~ ♪♪
No matter where you are... I'll always find~ ♪♪
La, la, la, laaa~
Into points will turn~ ♪♪
La, la, la, laaa~
"Theo?!!"

"Um. Master?! Can you tell me why my sister is like this now?" Zaira asked.
"Yes, of course." Theo looked at her. "Your sister is now like this because she began to awaken a lineage in her body..." Theo sighed. "But since she possessed a lot of impurity in her body, her lineage that was trying to awaken was picking up the low pure Mana she had in her body. Because of this, they were affecting her vital organs and leaving her in a weakened state."
"A-A lineage?!! Seriously?" Zaira was in disbelief.
"Ah? Is it so surprising, her awakening a lineage?" Theo asked confused.
"Y-Yes!! Master, do you not know that only the most powerful have a lineage? Even though my knowledge is very small on this subject... I know that there are very few that have a lineage!!" Zaira spoke excitedly.
Indeed, Theo's knowledge of lineages was very lacking. He looked in the direction of Shina, since she lived in a city and perhaps knew something about it.
Seeing him look at her, Shina told him what she knew: "I don't have much knowledge about lineages either, but even in the city where I lived, I know that only the royal family has lineages and the Sect teacher where I was as well, but I don't know exactly what lineage they have..."
"I understand... anyways if things went on like this... I'm pretty sure your sister would have died!" Theo looked at Zaira and smiled, "But she was lucky to have a sister who cares so much about her and managed to find me, now, besides she can recover and she will acquire a lineage."
The sadness in Zaira's eyes instantly disappeared. "I did nothing! Who did it all was Master! If it weren't for Master, I couldn't help my sister!!"
Theo was amazed to see Zaira's eyes, that were almost like a fan staring at his biggest idol.
*Sigh~*
Theo put little Yui on the floor, who pouted and to which he laughed at from the cute expression of his daughter, and went to Zaira and ran his hand lightly on her head, surprising her.
With a gentle smile on his face, Theo said, "Even if it is true that it was I who saved your sister, it wouldn't have been possible if you didn't find me and persuade me to help you." Seeing her nod with some tears threatening to come out of her eyes, he continued: "So it isn't a lie to say that it was thanks to you that your sister was saved!"
"I understand..." Zaira nodded, but in her heart, she will not forget the kindness Theo and they showed her.
"By the way, you don't have to follow me as 'Master'-"
"But..."
Theo did not let her interrupt and went on to say, "I'm not saying that you don't have to pay your debt for my help, but you do not have to spend your whole life to pay it, just consider what I did as a payment, stay by my side, doing some things I ask of you, okay?"
"Right!!" Zaira replied determined to help him, as long as he needed her, regardless of what he would need her for and as long as he asked, she was determined to do it.
They then chatted... minutes passed... an hour had passed... and only after almost 2 hours Zaika opened her eyes again! Her body was surrounded by dark flames, her light-green half-open eyes sparkled dark flames, giving her a somewhat mystical appearance.
Unlike the lineage of Yuki and Theo that grew with them, her lineage already came at its highest power!! Of course, that doesn't mean she'll be able to use her lineage immediately with perfection. She is no different from Yui who was born with the Cold Metallic Dragon lineage in the same way that Yui has to train to be able to release even higher strength of her lineage, Zaira was the same now!
Even more so since she has many impurities in her body! Even though Zaika received help from Theo, who helped her expel a good part of her impurities from her body, that was not even 20% of the impurities. Unlike Yui who was born with the purest Mana and with the help of the Moon Lotus Flower, she was able to be born with a body without impurities!
But if she wants to continue to strengthen her lineage and release even more strength from it, she will need to have a better cultivation technique to cultivate, if she continued with the technique she now... Theo thought she had a large probability of reaching a bottleneck in her cultivation. And without finding any treasure to clean the impurities of her body, he couldn't even imagine how long it would take until she could rank up.
If the Mana in Theo's body is compared to a bottle and his Mana as the water in it... The current mana in Zaika's body is more like a bottle full of stones. Because of this, it was difficult for her to cultivate, since together with the Mana that her technique of cultivation collected, it comes many impurities as well.
Take for example the fight that Yui had against Zaira. One of Zaira's reasons for not being able to defend himself against Yui's attack, even with the same amount of cultivation, was because of the quality of Mana that Yui had! The time it took Zaira to control her mana to her head to defend herself was much longer because her Mana was much 'heavier' due to the impurities in her Mana and body.
Unlike Yui who can control her Mana to manifest as fast as a thought! Faster than if you were going to open a faucet in your house!! And the more time passed, the more Mana she could concentrate on whichever body part she wanted.
*
"Before when I had looked at her [Status], she had not gained any cultivation technique, unlike Yui… maybe now that she was able to fully awaken her lineage, she could?" He could not help but think this was possible. His knowledge was very weak in this area, so he could only depend on his newly acquired divine eyes to see whether his theory was right or not.

"Oh! She gained two techniques! But as I thought, all the Mana that was on the pill was used to awaken her lineage!" Theo pondered a little. "But will these be the only lineage techniques that she will get? Or as her control over her lineage increased, she will get even more? So does Yui have a chance to acquire other, better techniques from her lineage? And everyone who awakens a lineage, will gain techniques as well? Or just some that are special?"
Many doubts began to appear in his mind. Each time, he realized that his knowledge of this world was small, feeling like a frog at the bottom of a well, without knowing the vastness of the world in which he currently lives. This only made Theo want to go to a city and expand his horizons even more!
Yuki who was looking at Theo's face was amazed at the current appearance of his eyes and asked: "Theo?!! What happened to your eyes?"
