Mixed Blessing System

After a few minutes, if someone were to enter Lothur and Elke's room, such a person would first hear the creaking of the bed, a noise characteristic of the complicated dance the two were doing.

But such a thing would quickly reveal the intensity of it, which followed a quiet rhythm but not so much as to be boring. From the feminine sounds traveling through the surroundings, anyone would know that the redheaded woman below Lothur loved this moment.

It had all started with small movements by Lothur, such as massages to relax his lover's body and kisses here and there. After such preliminary movements, he skillfully used all his knowledge and physical abilities to bring his companion to her best condition, given her current situation.

Because of this, even if the beginning of the dance was somewhat uncomfortable for Elke, this beautiful woman soon got used to her companion's steps.

And heck, Lothur danced very well, to the point that a few minutes after the first steps, Elke had almost forgotten her previous misfortune.

If not for her inability to move freely and make her own steps in this dance, she would have forgotten all about it.

While she enjoyed her special treatment, Lothur tried to ignore the bestiality in his being, controlling himself so as not to cross the line and hurt his beautiful companion.

He was obviously enjoying it. After all, dancing with Elke was delightful, and the cute expression on her face was enough to mess with his nerves.

But with his great willpower that had already eliminated the remnants of his predecessor's personality, Lothur managed to restrain himself and do the most complicated steps of this dance without overdoing it.

That way, after almost an hour of working for the two of them, Lothur took the most important step, making Elke lose her breath and shake vigorously for the 4th time in a row.

"Hah... Hah... Lothur, you are perfect... Hah..." She said amidst her agitated breathing, looking into the eyes of the sweaty young man on top of her while clasping her fingers over his strong arms.

Lothur continued in the same position, leaning on just one of his arms, putting no weight on his lover's body. At the same time, he used one of his hands to massage one of her cheeks, feeling an intense desire to protect her.

He then looked at her status to see if his girl was right.

He already knew that Elke could get stronger after their fun. But would that also happen after she was seriously injured? He did not know.

But then the system showed him the reality.

[Name: Elke Becker]

[Cultivation: level 3 (weakened)]

[STR: 0.59] [CON: 1.47] [DEX: 1.09] [AGI: 1.16]

'What? All that?' He could not believe how much she had improved in just one hour of treatment!

"What is it, Lothur? Is something wrong?" She asked, seeing the incredulous look in his eyes.

"No, Elke. I just realized that you had improved more than I had thought... Wow!" He said in a tone filled with happiness.

"Oh?" A smile formed on her lips as she realized that she did indeed seem to feel better now. "It worked? It truly worked!"

"Yes, Elke, it worked! Now you can probably move around a bit, can't you?" He got off her, and it was not long before he saw her lift one of her legs in the air.

"Congratulations, Elke. At this rate, our chances of winning this challenge are not small!"

Tears dripped from her eyes, and then Elke used her strength to climb on top of Lothur and kiss him passionately.

"I love you!"

"Mmmmm~"

As he tasted Elke's lips, Lothur thought about how this situation had become possible.

'That was an expressive increase for only one hour of activities... But my physical and mental characteristics have greatly increased since we arrived in Lewerenz.'

'Maybe that's why? My Constitution alone has evolved by almost 50% in that period.' He squeezed Elke's tiny waist gently, feeling full of energy again.

'On the other hand, she has weakened a lot. In other words, the difference between our characteristics has increased... I wonder if that's it?'

'Has the effect of our fun intensified because the difference between us has increased?' He made his theory about this situation until Elke stopped kissing him to breathe better.

'Hah... Lothur, what shall we do now?" She asked.

He looked intently at the beautiful woman sitting on top of him and said. "We have dinner with Jacob's family, but maybe we should..."

"No, this is important for the future of our family. So let's stay, even if I'm not yet in my best condition." She stopped him from continuing.

Elke was already determined to be by Lothur's side, and with the development of their relationship after today's incident, she would no longer hesitate to do anything for that.

She had already been through the situation of almost losing him, so she would no longer fear investing in this relationship with him!

And with the certainty that he loved her too, Elke already placed herself as part of Lothur's family, even if there was no commitment between them yet.

Lothur then smiled and said. "All right. Then after we pass the Herrmann family estate, we'll go to dinner at Jacob's house."

Jacob had left a note with the location of his house and the time for Lothur and Elke to go there. So naturally, this man already knew everything he had to do.

"Hmmm, so we'll leave for Peters City after this dinner, eh?" She rested her little head on his left chest. "I'll be able to sleep with you one more night..."

The trip between Lewerenz and Peters City would take an average of 6 hours using the carriage that brought them to this place. So, naturally, these two would not arrive in that city until early Monday morning if they followed those plans.

Hence, Elke could not help but feel good about that, even considering that her parents would probably be worried.

She then smiled and said. "But we still have about three hours until the end of the afternoon, Lothur... So what will we do in the meantime?"

"Hahaha, Elke, I truly like your enthusiasm!" Lothur laugh. "But first, let's eat something to supply our other needs..."

They were only 1st stage cultivators, not so different from mortals. As such, their metabolisms were still highly dependent on the energy contained in food.

"After that, we'll do one more treatment session and then talk to that family about finishing the mission."

"That's good!" She kissed his chest, satisfied with his arrangements.

...

A little over three hours later...

[Name: Elke Becker]

[Cultivation: level 3 (weakened)]

[STR: 0.99] [CON: 2.47] [DEX: 1.83] [AGI: 1.95]

After they finished dressing and departed that inn, Lothur realized that Elke had still had a good improvement on this occasion, but that had been subtly less than last time.

With that, he concluded that, in fact, her rapid progress was due to the significant difference in powers between them, which meant that this would diminish as she grew stronger.

On the other hand, previously, only her Constitution attribute evolved with this 'training.' But in this situation, the other attributes were improving as well.

'That must be her body recovering and returning to the old values...' He thought that was the case, and he had no expectations of her continuing to improve in that way after recovering her attribute values from before Elise's blow.

In any case, that was good enough for him for the moment, so he did not worry too much and was glad to see her walking again.

Elke was still feeling a bit weak and certainly could not handle a long walk like the one he took between this city and the lake. But to go to an estate a few hundred meters from the inn, she was fine.

Thus, the couple made their way on foot to that place, walking through the busy streets of this little city.

It was Sunday evening, but there was more movement on those streets than there usually would be, with many cultivators coming and going.

At the same time, in some places they passed close by, Lothur and Elke could hear people talking loudly about the phenomena that had struck the entire city this morning.

That alerted the two about what the people near that lake earlier today were doing and the precautions they should take.

"Lothur, maybe it's better that we don't finish this mission..." Elke commented to him as she saw the front of the Herrmann estate. "The cultivators of that family will think we have found the valuable resources of that place."

"Hmm, yes, that is probably the case." He nodded to her, pondering about giving up that mission. "But those people will distrust us even more if we don't report it."

"After all, the girl from the Herrmann family knows that we were investigating the matter..."

"So, we must face these people and tell them we failed. That way, our chances of not having problems with them in the future will be greater." He suggested as he took one of her hands and indicated for them to move on.

"OK, let's do it!"
