Mixed Blessing System

After leaving the dining room of her family\'s residence, Annaliese hurried toward Lothur\'s room, worried about what was on his mind at that moment.

She had clearly felt all the anger in his gaze earlier and knew how difficult her mother could be when such a woman had a problem with something.

Thinking about how her actions caused this whole situation, she wanted to talk to him and resolve the matter.

With that in mind, she quickly arrived at that place where Lothur had just entered, and the door to his room was still open.

"Lothur..." She said his name in an uncertain tone as she placed one of her hands on the door about to be closed.

But Lothur said nothing, having just stood facing one of the walls of his room, lowered his head, closed his hands tightly, and started punching such a structure.

"Tsk!"

Upon entering there and seeing the enraged Lothur, Annaliese closed the door of that room and approached him. "Lothur, I\'m sorry for what happened."

"My mother can be harsh sometimes..."

"Harsh sometimes?" He said in an irritated tone. "That woman is always causing trouble for me!"

"Tsk!"

"I don\'t know why I joined this family! Were my guardian and I crazy when we accepted this?" He asked without looking at her, speaking in a tone she had never heard.

Realizing his anger, Annaliese began to feel panicky, not knowing how to handle the situation.

"Maybe I should just get my things and get the hell out of this place!"

"No!" She finally said something, stepping forward until she was a few inches away from his back. At the same time, one of her hands followed the path of his arms to stop him from continuing to hurt himself.

"Don\'t decide something like that now, Lothur. You\'re nervous and can\'t think sober right now." She said this agitatedly, knowing that there was a reason he was in this family.

"I feel I can think clearly about it now."

"What is there for me here? I only have problems dealing with your sister and mother! There\'s no fucking respect!"

Gulp!

Annaliese\'s heart began to beat faster, without her knowing what to say to calm the person in front of her.

She then moved her arms and hugged Lothur from behind, leaning her head against his back. "No, Lothur, don\'t do this."

"We\'ll work everything out!"

"Things will get better!"

"You just need to calm down a little more. Trust me!"

She then turned him around, making him stand with his back to that wall, face to face with her. "Please don\'t be impulsive."

Lothur looked at her closely, but his anger had not diminished one bit. "I don\'t have that much patience for..."

He was about to say that when that woman hugging him swallowed her saliva in determination and did something unexpected for Lothur.

In that instant, she placed her lips on his, silencing him as she gave him her first kiss. Sensing that, as well as Annaliese\'s nervousness, Lothur finally put the previous subject aside as he looked at her with surprise in his eyes.

\'You...\'

But as Lothur felt Annaliese\'s inexperienced and tongueless kiss, he felt his manly instincts calling him. So, he set aside his rational side to kiss his sister-in-law properly.

At that moment, he put his tongue in her mouth, causing her to open her eyes for an instant, but soon after awakening something new in her.

"Mmmmmm~"

As if programmed to return Lothur\'s advance, Annaliese\'s tongue began to work on its own, quickly enhancing their experience.

\'What am I doing? That\'s Lothur! My brother-in-law!\' Her mind was screaming in despair about this madness, but her body seemed to act independently.

It was as if her subconscious had taken over her body, acting in this way to bind this man to her family.

\'No!\'

\'That is wrong! My sister will go crazy if she finds out about this!\' She rationalized the situation, but her body felt perfect, making her sense even more guilty.

"Mmmmm~"

Finally, after a full minute of kissing Lothur, Annaliese managed to muster the strength to pull away from him while gasping for breath.

"Hah... I... Hah... I sh... Hah... I shouldn\'t have done that..." She said as she felt ashamed, just before she ran out of Lothur\'s arms and walked out of that room with her face completely red.

\'Damn it! Why did I do that? How will I look at him now? And worse, my sister will treat me like a slut if she finds out about this!\' She went straight to her residence, feeling extremely confused now.

On the other hand, as Lothur heard the woman\'s footsteps becoming less and less discernible, he sat on one end of his bed, shocked.

He had never imagined that such a woman would behave so decisively toward him, especially when he was not in any degree trying to court her.

Hell, he had said some things that genuinely could have offended that woman. But still, the whole thing occurred.

"That..." He looked at the floor of his room with a confused look, trying to understand where that had come from. \'Is it guilt? Maybe a little fear too?\' He pondered this.

And with such a turnaround in his evening, he soon lay down on that bed, with too many thoughts in his mind to do anything but stand around thinking about it all.

He was in no mood to train, much less be able to sleep after what had just happened.

Not only was he irritated to the limit by Mabel, but Annaliese had \'turned him upside down,\' changed his extreme anger into sexual interest.

"Shit!"

\'Now I won\'t be able to sleep...\' He sighed deeply.

...

Hours passed, and the first bright rays of daylight were already illuminating Peters City when a silver-haired man left the Frost family estate unaccompanied.

That man was dressed in a typical adventurer\'s outfit, something light but which at the same time protected most of his skin, leaving only his head and hands uncovered.

On the other hand, he wore boots that went halfway up his shins and a large overcoat over his adventurer\'s clothing due to the cold weather early in the day.

At the same time, he had a tired look on his face, indicating that he had not slept well the night before.

However, Lothur had nothing to do about it. He had spent most of the night thinking about what had happened earlier and had no alternative but to leave this way.

His mission was his priority at the moment, and he was not going to delay it because of something so small.

Therefore, Lothur was already heading towards the establishment that had issued the mission he had committed to, where the materials and the map needed for the job in question were located.

The place was called One Thousand and One Medicines, a store that specialized in selling natural medicines in this city.

Medicines were the way people of this world called the resources similar to plants and fruits that contained spiritual energy and the power to influence some reactions when used.

This kind of resource could be used in its raw state, as food, or in the preparation of cultivation resources, such as pills, in items produced by alchemists or other professionals.

Lothur knew this, and as such, he was walking briskly towards the store, interested in exploring more of this world, perhaps getting to know an area relevant to him.

That was his first mission at the academy. But nothing stopped Lothur from trying to learn while doing such a thing, to know things that could influence his life!

As such, he soon arrived at a place that looked like a large old house with a crooked roof and many plants blending in with the walls.

Upon entering through the front door, he came upon an establishment full of jars scattered on shelves, where only three people were around at the moment.

"You..." Lothur heard a tone of voice that he already knew...
