Mixed Blessing System

Chapter 226 Time Of Departure 1

An hour after Annaliese arrived at the Frost family estate, Lothur passed through the entrance gates of this place and went directly to the residence that was to be his and Viktoria's.

He had no problem finishing his mission at the Cultivation House since there was no need for all members of group missions to report to that organization.

If payments were made directly between clients and mercenaries, then there was no need to ascertain problems between group members.

So, in addition to having bought the resources he would need to take the tests to become a formation master, he had registered his and Annaliese's merit points with that institution.

In addition, he counted the earnings from the spatial rings he had found in the last cave, which earned him a few hundred thousand bronze coins.

With that, he now had more than 600,000 bronze coins in his spatial ring and other things that could be sold later.

'That's probably not enough for me to buy a decent place in this city, but I can afford lodging and my living costs...' Lothur pondered this as he used the key Viktoria had given him to enter the residence in front of him.

When he opened the door to that place, he immediately heard footsteps coming toward him.

"Lothur!" Viktoria ran up to him and hugged him as a good submissive wife would do upon seeing her man again after some time away from him.

Lothur had issues with Viktoria and this family, but he was very fond of such behavior. As such, he could not help but hug her and smile before kissing his wife.

"Mmmmmm~"

After kissing for almost a minute, both constantly touching parts of the other's body, they looked each other in the eye as they parted their lips.

"Have you given any more thought to the things I said?" She asked, making a cute expression at him. "What are you going to do?"

"What I said I would." He answered. "The question is, will you go with me or not? I want you to come."

She clasped his clothes with her hands and was momentarily silent. "I will go with you, of course. I won't let a man who did all those things to me escape responsibility..."

"But we will stay in Peters City. We'll find a place to live around here, and I'll continue to be involved with my family's affairs while we live together. You promised, didn't you? Being in your family wouldn't limit me."

He looked in surprise at her proposing just what Annaliese had told him. 'They must have talked...'

Lothur then said. "Fine, but I don't want to have to meet with your mother. Then she won't be able to visit us."

"Sigh!"

'She doesn't want to see you either...' Viktoria thought about this as she sighed and relaxed her head on his chest, smelling her man's body.

'Uh?'

'That fragrance... I've smelled it somewhere before.' She opened her eyes wider as she paid attention to the scent on Lothur's body.

"Lothur, who have you been with? Didn't you say you were on a mission? Why do I smell a woman's scent coming from you?" She looked him in the eyes and tightened her arms around his waist to prevent him from running away.

"A woman's scent?" Lothur sniffed, noticing that the female sense of smell differed from the male's. 'What do they smell? I can never sense such a woman's fragrance!'

"Yes, and that scent is not strange to me. Is it by any chance someone I know?" She seriously asked.

"I don't know. People can have similar fragrances..." He turned and looked in the direction of a window. "Anyway, I was with a woman this morning. But now I'm here. So, do you truly want to talk about it?"

'Scoundrel!'

'He is a damn womanizer! How can he desire others when he already has me?' She looked earnestly into his eyes and felt slightly angry as she remembered Annaliese's words.

'Looks like she was right! This bastard needs someone to put him on a leash and stop him from doing what he wants!'

'I'll have to work with that brat Becker!' Lothur helped Viktoria make up her mind about such a thing.

"No, I don't want to hear about your betrayals..." She released him and turned away. "But know that I don't like it. What would you think if I came home with men's scent?"

Lothur laughed. "That would be the last time you would ever see me. I would take my things and disappear after killing the bastard who touched my wife."

"And I can't do the same?" She turned to him, a little happy to see that he was possessive about her but not like having to share him.

"You can't. If you hurt someone like Elke, you'd be hurting me." He sincerely replied.

"And where's the justice in that? Don't I deserve equal treatment?"

"The world is not fair, Viktoria. To relate to me, you need to accept how I am and live according to my preferences." He hugged her waist from her back and said into her ears. "I know it must be hard for you. But I will make it worth it, and as I said, you will be grateful to have sisters by your side..."

"Tsk!"

'Scoundrel!' She thought, saying nothing more to him on that subject. "Anyway, I'll see what I can do... In the meantime, it's time for you to explain to me what happened on Friday night."

"Why did you go through a marrow cleansing? Why can't I feel your cultivation?" Viktoria turned to him, asking about such a thing she had been thinking about for the past 48 hours.

Hearing this, Lothur bitterly smiled, seeing that his plans regarding this had failed on the eve of his planning. But he was honest with her. "I had a level advancement, so, of course, I went through a marrow cleansing, as is normal for cultivators at the 1st stage."

"What?" Her mouth dropped open at what he had just said. "So you're a cultivator? How? Why? Since when?"

He sighed. "After an accident, I suffered months ago, my Physique awakened, and I was suddenly able to start cultivating my body."

"I've been training my body cultivation ever since... Remember when Anna beat me up? That's about when I started cultivating, and at that time, I had asked her for that so I could become stronger."

"After that, since I realized that no one could see my cultivation, I kept the secret of it to surprise you at the Province Conference..." He smiled. "I wanted to win you over and make you my de facto wife..."

"What?" She laughed. "Are you serious?"

"Hmm, you can ask Anna. She has trained me several times and knows that was my goal for hiding such a thing."

"I see..." She felt better, even forgetting her previous problem as she went to hug him again. 'So you wanted me all along, huh? But still, you acted indifferently and made me change so much...'

'What a guy!'

'But at least everything ended well.' She laughed internally, not the least dissatisfied that she had 'lost' her power struggle with him.

"And what level are you at now?"

"8th Transformation." He looked into her eyes and waited for this woman's reaction.
