Mixed Blessing System

Some time passed, and after dark in Peters City, Elke's carriage finally stopped outside the Frost family estate, where Lothur was already waiting for her.

Obviously, Elke could not enter that estate since her and Lothur's families were not close to each other. Besides, it would be strange for her to pick up House Frost's son-in-law for dinner...

Thus, she and Lothur had already arranged to meet at that point, from where, without delay, they made their way to the Becker family estate.

"What do you think? Do I look okay?" Lothur smiled at Elke and opened his arms, showing her the clothes he had bought to go to the auction with Annaliese.

He had made some changes to it for today's occasion, so such an outfit was suitable for the occasion he would be attending in a few moments.

Seeing this, Elke graciously smiled at him. "Lothur, even if you were dressed like a homeless man, you would still look magnificent."

"Oh? I think it could only get better if I got naked..." He winked at her, making her blush with embarrassment.

'That's right...' She bit her lips, imagining that well-defined body of perfect volume for his height.

Seeing the look in Elke's eyes, Lothur teased her, licking his lips. "Elke, don't be too hasty. We'll have the next two days to do whatever we want..."

She remembered something and shook her head, trying to push her dirty thoughts out of her mind. "I still haven't talked to my parents about the mission we're going out on later."

"Oh? Do you think we'll have any problems?" He asked without showing any nervousness.

"No, for some reason, my parents seem to like you... But still, they might try to pressure you in some way." She thoughtfully looked at him. "That's what worries me."

"So, that's it." He momentarily closed his eyes, still reassured. "Well, it's natural for there to be some kind of pressure. After all, I am a man who will be alone with their precious daughter for the next two days..."

"But considering how weak I 'am,' I doubt they think I have any chance with you. So, I don't think it will be as big a challenge as you seem to imagine, Elke."

"I hope so..." She sighed as she saw the lights of her estate through the window on her right side.

...

After a few moments, Lothur followed Elke through the halls of the patriarch Becker's house until they reached a living room.

There, they sat down to talk and wait for her parents while some maids served them.

But Lothur did not have to wait long, and soon Gomeric and Hilda arrived in that area, both very well-dressed, with clothes that only enhanced their physical qualities.

Upon seeing these two, the first thing Lothur did was check their cultivation level, and, not surprisingly, he did not see their attributes.

Gomeric was at level 15, and his wife was at level 11, both at the 2nd stage, Spiritual Warriors.

'It seems my vixen mother-in-law is truly one of the strongest in this province...' He thought of Mabel, giving her credit for her powers.

"So you are our daughter's friend, young Lothur?" Hilda was the first to say something, as she showed one of her hands to him while her eyes sharpened. 'He is too handsome... It's frankly a waste that someone like that has no talent and is still...'

Lothur saw this and, without hesitation, bent down to kiss Hilda's hand. "That's me, madam."

Seeing this, Gomeric was not bothered one bit since, besides being a standard social norm to be used in situations like this, Lothur was harmless...

"Boy, you look different from the rumors." He said to Lothur as he gave one of this fellow's hands a hard squeeze.

"It's nice to meet you, Patriarch Becker." Lothur smiled and did not mind the pain in his right hand.

Hilda then gestured with one of her hands. "Lothur, please accompany us this way..."

After that, they proceeded to the large dining room of that residence, where all the necessary utensils were already distributed at one end of the large table there.

Lothur and Elke then sat side by side, with this woman's parents sitting across from them, with their eyes fixed on the silver-haired young man.

As they waited for the waiters who would serve them, Gomeric began his questioning. "Lothur, we understand that you and our daughter have recently been spending a lot of time together..."

Elke swallowed her saliva upon hearing that as she clasped her hands on her knees. Gomeric continued. "We want to know what is going on between you two and what you intend with her."

"Oh? Hehe, that's not a problem, patriarch." He laughed, still sitting there very well, looking into the eyes of Elke's father and sometimes at Hilda. "From the moment I met Elke, I already knew we would get along very well."

"After that, we started our relationship on the right foot, and since then, we have helped each other." He looked at her and smiled, seeing the nervousness in this redhead's eyes. "I learn from her, and she learns from me. We complete each other in a way that is hard to imagine..."

"So, even though I've been with her for such a short time, for me, she already has a place in my family."

Elke almost turned red with embarrassment as she heard these things, looking at Lothur, not knowing what her parents would say after such a statement. 'This is dangerous! Even if they like you, I don't think they will accept me becoming yours so easily.' She panicked.

But Gomeric just smiled when he heard that. "Oh? Young man, you truly are a boy full of feelings... It's good to know that a friend of our daughter sees her as part of his family!"

"Hmmm," Hilda nodded, pleased at Lothur's words, 'He must see her as a sister... That's not bad, so it will be easier for us to bring him over to our side!'

She then said. "Well then, young Lothur, since you see Elke as your family, then our doors will be open to you. If one day you decide to leave the Frost family... We will welcome you with open arms."

"What?" Elke asked in surprise, shocked that her parents had come to this. 'Are they really going to give me to Lothur? Have they given up their previous plans?' But, as her little heart leaped in surprise, she was beginning to feel happy.

"Do you actually see no problem with Lothur and me together?" She asked, standing next to him.

Hilda found her daughter's reaction interesting but considering that friendships like theirs, between man and woman, were not common to happen, she figured that this was why Elke was nervous. "Yes, we truly like you and Lothur together..."

Gomeric completed his wife's speech. "I still want to know more about you, Lothur. After all, Elke is my only daughter. But for now, I see no problem in your relationship."

Hearing this, Lothur opened his mouth in surprise, not expecting things to develop so simply. 'Is this some kind of trap?' He worried.

When things seemed too easy, then surely there was something wrong!

With that thought, he was obviously on alert after such comments.

On the other hand, Elke could not help but smile in joy and jump into Lothur's arms, hugging him without any shame, in front of her parents. "Thank you, mom, dad. You don't know how important he is to me!" She said as she hugged Lothur's head, sticking it into her beautiful cleavage.

Seeing that, Gomeric and Hilda frowned but did nothing but watch in silence.

'Impossible!' Hilda laughed. 'If there were something between them, Elke would never do that! She'd have to be insane for such nonsense!'

As for her husband, he was a little doubtful, but seeing the smile on Hilda's face, he calmed down a little.

'Even if he were her fiancé, I doubt Elke would sit on his lap in front of us...'

'Ah, he truly must be absolutely harmless, or it wouldn't happen.' He sighed in relief.

"Cough! Cough!" He coughed twice.

"Girl, I don't think you should behave like that in front of your parents," Hilda said in her husband's place.

"Oh?" Elke released Lothur's face and returned to her seat, smiling like a child after winning the greatest gift of her life.

Lothur still had a worried expression, not understanding this situation at all. 'What's going on? I thought I was already prepared to deal with all kinds of situations, but I don't know what to say to these people...'

'Cultivators are truly terrifying! What a difficult plot to read!'

One of the waiters started serving the four of them, and then Gomeric asked Lothur. "Boy, since you see our daughter like that, what does your wife think about it? She must know about your situation, right?"
