Chapter 152 Happiness
After experiencing the embarrassing situation of being carried by her lover as impurities began to leave her body, Elke threw Lothur out of the bathroom as she lay in the bathtub.
With that, she put her hands on her face, extremely embarrassed to be in this situation.
‘Oh, how could this happen when we were in that intimate moment? What if he feels disgusted by me?’ She barely paid attention to her body’s changes, worrying about her priority.
It was undeniable that this kind of situation was a big problem for attraction. Even long-time couples should maintain a certain amount of privacy and, as far as possible, not let their partner see or feel certain things…
That was particularly true for people at the beginning of their relationship, as in the case of Elke and Lothur.
Because of this, she was naturally worried about what her lover would think of her for seeing her in such a disgusting state and could not enjoy the fact that she was advancing in level.
‘Damn it!’
‘In the future, I have to be more careful! Our ‘stuff’ might make me stronger, but it might also put me through this situation after we have fun…’
‘I can’t let that happen again!’ So, Elke thought, determined to train hard, and when she felt she was close to breakthroughs, she would not do that with Lothur until she moved up a level.
Only then could she ensure that tonight’s mistake would not be repeated!
“Sigh!” 𝑏𝑒𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝑚
…
After a few minutes, Elke finished advancing to level 3, improving her external features even more than Lothur had achieved.
When Elke had finished cleaning herself up and gathering the courage to face Lothur, she timidly left the bathroom to try to get around the awkward situation from earlier.
But Lothur seemed not the least bothered by this, and as soon as he saw her, he brought her into his arms, happy with the improvements his partner’s body had undergone.
However, they had not engaged in physical activity since they had both had enough in the last few hours.
Elke had progressed and recovered from the previous situation. Still, even in these new circumstances, the idea of continuing this did not cross her mind due to her previous situation.
Not only that, they were starving. So, the couple decided to go out to dinner in one of the local restaurants, so they train their techniques later and then rest for the following day of work.
…
While Lothur and Elke had their evening date, the coachman of Harry’s carriage was beginning to get nervous.
That young man and his subordinates had left many hours ago and had not given any news of what they were doing.
That had never happened in the past, so the old coachman was already starting to get bad feelings, sensing that perhaps something terrible had happened to his young master.
Considering who Harry’s master was, this fellow did not want to take any unnecessary risks by giving that red-haired young man more time to return. Thus, he soon headed towards the Wehrle family estate in Lewerenz, ready to report that young man missing.
‘I wonder what happened? The young master was just following a mortal and a weak girl…’ This person thought in worry on his way to the Wehrle estate.
‘Could it be that someone acted against the young master?’
Gulp!
‘I hope not, or the master will be furious!’
‘But maybe I’m worrying too much… Knowing the young master’s personality, he’s probably having fun with that 2nd Transformation girl…’ He sighed, praying that was the situation.
…
The night passed quietly in Lewerenz, and soon the first light rays illuminated this small city in Linn Province.
Lothur and Elke had not encountered any problems the previous night, having had dinner and a good time before returning to the inn.
After that, the two trained those techniques they could practice in the room and spent the rest of the night together, sleeping snugly, much to Elke’s happiness.
With that, as the windows of the Lewerenz houses began to open and the smell of breakfast began to spread, the couple in question broke their kiss amidst their sweaty embrace.
“Lothur…” Elke took a deep breath, feeling good but also sad since she could not have that kind of daily happiness yet.
In any case, spending the night with Lothur had been the best experience of her life, and right now, Elke was on cloud nine, with her passion for him reaching a new peak.
“I think I love you, Lothur…” She commented as she looked into his eyes, following them as if hers were synchronized to his.
Upon hearing this, Lothur’s previous smile froze, and he did not know what to say to this beauty in his arms.
He certainly liked her, but was this love?
He was not sure.
Because of this, he did not want to give his company false hope and brought her head to his right shoulder, hugging her tightly in silence.
Elke realized this and felt a little depressed not to hear similar words from him. But she was determined to be with this man, so this did not make her panic or lose her hopes.
‘All right, I can wait to hear that another day…’ She rubbed the back of his neck, smelling him. ‘As long as you love me one day, all the waiting will be worth it!’
After this awkward moment, Lothur checked his and Elke’s status.
[Name: Elke Becker]
[Cultivation: level 3]
[STR: 1.7] [CON: 4.2] [DEX: 3.1] [AGI: 3.3]
…
[Name: Lothur Ritter]
[Physique: what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger]
[Bloodline: ****]
[Cultivation: level 5]
[STR: 10] [CON: 15.2] [DEX: 9.4] [AGI: 11.2]
[INT: 52.9] [PER: 52.9] [WIL: 49.4]
‘After my improvements in terms of Constitution and mental attributes, it seems that the effects of sex with me on Elke’s body have increased…’ He understood that point, more or less comprehending from where that was coming.
‘It seems that it is indeed my ability!’
‘Anyway, I will confirm that when I have my first time with Anna. So, I won’t worry about that for now.’ He thought about that after he finished getting dressed and looked at Elke. “Shall we go? After we get something to eat, I want to return to where we left off on our investigation mission yesterday.”
“Hmm, okay.” Elke bitterly smiled at him, trying to ignore the previous situation and get on with their commitments.
With that, they soon left the room at the inn they were staying at, quickly stopping by a local coffee shop and heading south to Lewerenz.
…
After more than an hour’s walk, Lothur and Elke walked to the vicinity of the lake where the incident with Harry and his group had taken place.
Upon arriving there, Lothur and Elke sat down to wait for the phenomenon so they could continue chasing its tracks.
Hence, they stayed there for almost 40 minutes until finally, the trees in the surrounding area began to sway intensely, while the animals in the vicinity struggled not to fall.
Lothur noticed this and immediately brought Elke into his arms, protecting his girl from the effects of the energy pulse that would come soon after.
But in this situation, contrary to what had happened the day before, Lothur immediately noticed something different.
Before, he only could feel the direction the pulse was coming from and nothing else. But with his improved Perception, he could now feel as if a pathway to a distant underground area was forming in front of him.
Also, with each ‘shockwave’ of energy sent out by this pulse, he heard a call from someone.
‘Uh? What is that?’ His eyebrows drew together tightly due to these distinct sensations.
‘Is it calling us? Is this not a natural phenomenon as I had thought?’ He noticed such a thing slowly diminishing, becoming anxious to find out what it was all about.
Then, the moment the effects of the phenomenon passed, Lothur immediately took one of Elke’s hands and prepared to run in that direction of the path he felt.
“Lothur?” She realized that there was something different about this young man.
“I think I just found where that comes from, Elke.”
“Oh?” She understood his satisfaction and soon began to run side by side with her man, curious to find out what the situation was behind this phenomenon affecting Lewerenz.
…
While the two were doing that, not far from them, near that lake, a blonde woman was leaning on a tree trunk, with a pained expression on her face.
‘What was that?’ She asked herself in surprise, not expecting that such a strange natural phenomenon would make her feel so bad when she could almost hit her opponent.
In any case, the pulses from a few moments ago were already gone, and this blonde dressed in a women’s combat outfit did not take long to regain her condition.
‘Never mind… You’re practically in my grasp now, Lothur!’ Elise mischievously smiled, already imagining how to torture that bastard.
