Mixed Blessing System

Upon hearing his wife’s question, Lothur thought about the situation for a moment but could not come up with a simple solution.

As he looked around, he noticed several guards were watching the crowd entering the Coliseum, each very attentive to keeping the order of things there.

That was the common public entrance, so if he tried to force his way in there, he might get into trouble with the event management. So the possibility of him and Viktoria breaking into that place by jumping over the fence nearby was excluded.

Yesterday this worked. But such a thing had happened in another area of the Coliseum, where they were being attacked and had their identities exposed. In other words, it was a different situation from the present one, which, in a way, justified their irregular entry. But in the present situation, invading the Coliseum could give them serious problems.

Also, there could be enemies nearby, and such people could even use the excuse of an invasion to act decisively against them.

So Lothur soon excluded a possible invasion of this place.

On the other hand, entering the competitors’ area could also be a problem. Each person entering the Coliseum as a participant had to identify themselves.

Since he and Viktoria would have to show their faces before entering this place, putting themselves at risk before they could get the protection of the Coliseum, Lothur forgot that possibility.

“Stay in front of me,” Lothur said after thinking and remembering the situation with Elke when they were in Lewerenz.

“Stay in front of you? What do you want?” Viktoria asked in doubt.

“I will hug you and try to camouflage your cultivation.” He said, considering that his body seemed to cancel out opponent auras, which prevented others from sensing his strength but also prevented others’ cultivation pressure from affecting him.

“Will that work?” She asked in disbelief.

He smiled with uncertainty from beneath his mask and commented. “I’m not sure if it will work 100%. But I think it will make it harder for enemies in the vicinity to recognize you.”

There were many people in the vicinity. And with him hugging Viktoria, it would be tricky to determine her position even if someone noticed a person at her level there.

As they only needed to enter the Coliseum amidst the crowd in the vicinity, doing so seemed to be the best and least risky thing for them.

‘Hopefully, there’s no one powerful waiting for us here…’ Lothur imagined as Viktoria stood before him.

After that, he put his arms around her, one going over her shoulders, getting supported above her breasts, and the other below her breasts, at her waist.

Viktoria blushed as she noticed how Lothur wanted to stay while simultaneously noticing the people looking in their direction.

But this was a place crowded with people, many of them couples, who would not find it strange for another couple to embrace each other like this in public.

There were so many people there that it would not be strange for someone to touch the wife of others where they should not… So would it be strange for a boyfriend or husband to protect his woman by hugging her from behind?

Most thought not, and soon after looking at them for a few moments, the people in the area would lose interest and leave the two alone.

“Aren’t you embarrassed to look like this in public?” Viktoria asked as she felt her husband’s face resting on her head, feeling incredibly intimate with him.

Lothur smiled and continued to smell the delicious scent of her hair. “Of course not. You are my wife, so why would I be embarrassed to treat you as such in public?”

“But that’s very immoral… We shouldn’t behave like that in public.”

He disagreed with her. “It would be immoral if I were groping your ass or breasts and kissing your neck. It’s not weird here at all… Look at that. Other couples are acting like that too!” He pointed as he saw two people acting similarly to them a few meters from where they were.

Upon hearing this, Viktoria immediately saw the couple smiling and hugging in the same way as them. Noticing this, she felt her heart calm down and began to enjoy the situation. 𝗯𝐞𝐝𝗻𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥.𝐜𝗼𝐦

‘It’s not bad to be like this… I feel protected, just like when we sleep together.’ She closed her eyes for a moment as she used one of her hands to massage one of Lothur’s arms.

Meanwhile, they slowly walked towards the entrance of the Coliseum, where were the turnstiles that each person had to pass through.

The Frost family had tickets to enter the Coliseum, which families usually earned to allow servants or less prestigious nobles to attend the event. So it had not been difficult for Viktoria to get two tickets for them.

With that, the two stood at that entrance for more than 20 minutes, walking slowly towards one of the turnstiles, always hugging each other without drawing too much attention.

Some cultivators watching the area had even noticed that there was someone there who was quite strong for the average person in this place. Still, none of them could figure out exactly where this person was.

There were few mortals in the area, so with so many cultivators so close to each other, they could only ignore the situation.

It was not as if it was against the rules for someone powerful to pass through this place… Besides, none of them were looking for trouble. They were just watching the area to stop any situation that might happen.

“Hey!”

“Hold it right there! Don’t run!” One of them saw a young man trying to run over a turnstile and started running after this delinquent.

Meanwhile, Lothur and Viktoria finally got close to the beginning of the line!

“What do we do now?” She asked.

“We will continue to hide our identities until the time of my match. There’s no need for us to draw attention from our opponents here.” He commented in a low voice, just before it was Viktoria’s turn to enter the Coliseum.

…

Meanwhile, at the competitors’ entrance in another part of the Coliseum…

In this place, several men were hiding in trees and side buildings, guarding the area cautiously while using unique formations to hide their levels.

It was not easy to get items like this, so Viktoria had not used something of the sort since she had very little time between yesterday and now.

But getting items like these was less complicated for someone who had been preparing for days for this moment. So, naturally, these people were using them in this place.

“Boss, how long before the enemy comes through here?” One of the men there communicated with the person closest to him while using sign language.

The person on a rooftop then said. “Maybe he won’t arrive… We have four groups prepared to act against our target. So he may be neutralized before he gets here.”

“I hope so.” Someone sighed. “What if he doesn’t fall into any of our traps?”

“Impossible!”

“How could a young man do something like that? Even if he doesn’t come with the rest of the Frost family, how would they get here without alerting our men?” Another man said.

The leader of that group then commented. “In any case, as long as he doesn’t come, that’s already a good thing, although we won’t have a chance to eliminate him…”
