Mixed Blessing System

Seeing Annaliese's little eyes looking at him intensely, Lothur could not help but sigh in defeat, wondering how he would escape his poisonous mother-in-law.

Annaliese saw the concern in his eyes and felt terrible that her family was causing him so many headaches. And seeing Elke beside him, she could not help but feel threatened. 'I can't let this girl take him!'

'I have to do something, fast!'

"All right, Anna, let's go somewhere to talk in privacy." He turned away from her and led the way to his and Elke's room in the local dormitory.

After walking for a few moments, they arrived at that place and sat down on a sofa there.

Elke sat on Lothur's right side and Annaliese on the left, both feeling him squeezing their waists.

"Anna, this weekend..." He then began to tell all that had happened to him and Elke, how Elise had attacked them, the young redhead's troubling state, and the attack on their return to Peters City.

When Lothur talked about it, Elke tried to stop him, but he wanted his women to have a friendly relationship, so he used this situation to soften Annaliese's heart.

That was also a chance for him to make Annaliese understand that he would need to spend more time with Elke than he usually did for at least this week.

Upon hearing all this, Annaliese had been shocked, having looked at Elke without knowing what to say and noting how much such a woman should have spent with him. It made her realize how selfish her thoughts were of taking Elke away from Lothur just so she could be with him without more people to get in her way.

She was also shocked to learn about the fantastic abilities Lothur had gained on this trip and that he had gotten something as valuable as a Soul Bone. But more importantly, she could not help but be speechless upon finding out that he was treating Elke by making love with the young redhead!

"Are you serious?" She looked at the two of them thoughtfully, trying to understand if Lothur was saying that to hurry her into her involvement with him or if it was something else.

"Do you want proof? Maybe for me to show you?" Elke looked at her provocatively.

​ "I would love to," Annaliese said naively, not entirely understanding what Elke's words implied.

Lothur opened his eyes in surprise at hearing this and asked. "Are you serious, Anna? Do you want to see me and Elke do this?"

"Uh?" Annaliese made a strange expression as Elke laughed at her misunderstanding.

"No! Obviously, I don't want to see you two doing that!" She turned red and stood up, coming face to face with the two of them. "How can you think of that, Lothur? Even if I agree to share you, I will not watch you with others! Smelling her is bad enough!"

"Agree to share?" Elke asked, still smiling. "Isn't it the other way around? As far as I know, he and I started our relationship long before you..."

"Tsk!" She momentarily turned her face away but remembered what had happened to Elke.

"I'm sorry, Elke. You've been through a lot and deserve to be with Lothur. It's just that I'm a little possessive, and I need some time to adjust..."

Elke turned serious. "I'm possessive too, so that's fine. We'll get used to the situation little by little."

"Hmmm."

"Perfect!" Lothur laughed and then asked Annaliese. "When I told you to watch us do this, I meant it. If you want, just stay here since I'll be spending the rest of the morning doing Elke's treatment."

The two women blushed at these words, looking at each other in embarrassment at how open he was.

He then continued. "But if you just want proof, then feel Elke's pulse now. Then, later you will be able to analyze the difference between the before and after."

"I'm sure it won't be small."

She looked into his eyes for a moment and then replied. "I'll take the second alternative..."

Lothur laughed as he heard that and then saw Annaliese checking Elke's pulse before she left to attend her classes.

Unlike him and Elke, Annaliese did not have a week off from classes because of sector ascension exams. So, she could not stay there even if she wanted to since she still needed to learn many things before going to Sector-5.

As for Lothur and Elke, they would have their first round of exams in the afternoon, so they soon went back to their activities.

...

When it reached the middle of the day, Lothur and Elke finished their business and left that dormitory toward one of the Sector-1 canteens.

As they did so, the silver-haired man looked closely at his red-haired companion's status, satisfied with their efforts' results.

[Name: Elke Becker]

[Cultivation: level 3]

[STR: 1.7] [CON: 4.32] [DEX: 3.1] [AGI: 3.3]

'She finally regained her Strength, Dexterity, and Agility attributes...' Lothur sighed as he saw that, feeling that he would be able to do some combat training with her later.

"How are you feeling, Elke?" He asked after they sat down at a table to eat.

She took her eyes off the food on her plate and answered. "I feel like my strength has recovered to its previous state, but I still have a strange feeling in my body."

"What is that like?"

"It is similar to the sensation we feel when we are falling asleep. It's not so strong that I get distracted or fall asleep, but it's similar to that." She explained.

Lothur's eyes narrowed at this information, and he saw that although she was recovering, there were several streams of dark energy in her body.

"Give me one of your hands." He showed his right hand to her, still watching in the direction of her chest with his visual ability activated at maximum.

Elke understood that he was not just looking at her breasts and gave her left hand to him.

After that, Lothur's pupils turned red and a pattern of the same color formed around his eyes.

Seeing the pentagram circling on her lover's forehead, Elke realized that this must be the magical ability that had saved her life and looked to the sides, worried about being seen.

But since they were in one of the quiet corners of the canteen when this place had just opened, no one there seemed to be paying attention to them.

Then, red mist appeared on Lothur's right hand, quickly entering Elke's body.

Elke noticed that the previous sensation subtly diminished while her focus seemed much more significant at this moment.

[EVF: 0.2]

Lothur saw this attribute diminish considerably and stopped what he was doing after only 5 seconds from when he began this vitality transfer to Elke.

'Bloodline is truly a marvelous thing. Even though I have just awakened it, I feel an incredible connection to it and a lot of ease in using it.' So, he thought as he noticed the gleam in Elke's eyes.

'That must be the advantage of a power that comes from oneself and not from a technique, I suppose...'

"Lothur, thank you..." She squeezed his hand, feeling much better.

But as they lovingly gazed into each other's eyes, Anneke saw them from a distance and approached them.

"You two, why didn't you come to my class today?"

...
