"Yes, Lothur got two Soul Bones during our mission in Lewerenz," Elke explained to her mother. "One of them he absorbed and the one with better characteristics for the soul he kept for me."
"Once I finish solving the physical problems in my body with the spiritual cleansing, I will absorb that bone and solve the rest of the problems in my soul."
Gulp!
She looked at Lothur. "Did you truly do that? You gave up a Soul Bone for my daughter?"
Lothur replied seriously. "Of course, madam. Elke is my woman, and I love her. How could I risk her for the sake of a mere Soul Bone?"
"Can I see that bone?" She asked.
"Hmmm." Lothur promptly handed the spine bone to Hilda.
'General Demon Soul Bone! And one of Bronze-grade!' She looked in surprise at the green and white bone in her hands. 'This bone is of great quality for Elke!'
'Is this boy really giving her this? Does he realize what he is giving up?' She looked at Lothur again, impressed by his determination to help Elke.
"At least you're not so bad..." Hilda sighed as she handed the bone back to Lothur. "You are committed to protecting her and giving up something so valuable... It seems that your love is true."
"Sigh!"
'What do I do now? I can't punish a young man who is so committed to my daughter's well-being... But I also don't see how they will stay together.' She closed her eyes thoughtfully.
Elke then smiled at her mother and said. "Yes, we love each other, and we will deal with any problems that come our way, mom."
"But you need to stay on our side! Don't tell father about this. Wait for Lothur to get stronger and develop his business with our family. Once that happens, my father will accept him!" She grabbed one of Hilda's wrists as she said this.
Hilda put her conflicted feelings aside and said. "Is that so? Have you forgotten that Lothur already has a wife? To make matters worse, she is not married into his family, but the other way around."
"In other words, even if we allow you to stay with him, the Becker family will have no advantage over the Frost family."
Lothur then said. "Madam, at least give me some time to prove myself. I guarantee that if I don't demonstrate that I can bring benefits to the Becker family, Elke and I will accept any decision you make."
"But give me that chance. Not only do Elke and I need to continue our relationship for her sake, but there is no need for you to rush separating us."
"Finally, I am confident I can impress you, no matter your standard! I just need the time!" He said while looking into his mother-in-law's eyes.
Hilda's eyes narrowed, and she thought about it. 'He has to continue with Elke, or my daughter will be at risk. But, on the other hand, the young men on the list of potential husbands I have chosen still need 1-2 years to mature for a marriage...'
"All right, I'll give you six months. If you demonstrate that you can bring value to the family within that time, I will convince my husband to allow your relationship. In the meantime, I will keep the secret." She said, feeling strange that she had to allow this.
"OK, the madam will not regret it!" Lothur commented.
"But as for this thing of yours, I want to see the results of that. I'm still not convinced that something like that can make another person stronger!" She stood up and walked out of that room.
"Make it quick. I don't want to wait all night!"
After she left that room, Elke looked at Lothur and smiled as if apologizing. "It's my fault that this happened, I..."
"No, considering how much we're doing, it was understandable that someone would notice." He brought her into his embrace. "But don't worry. I'll take care of everything and make sure your family accepts me as your man."
"Hmmm, I know..." She softly said before moving toward his lips.
"Mmmm~"
...
After a while, Hilda ignored the sounds of her daughter with Lothur and finally checked Elke's condition after this young woman called out to her.
"It seems that you are speaking the truth. Your body already looks as strong as that of someone at the 5th Transformation, even considering you are at the 3rd..." Hilda commented in amazement.
She already suspected that what Elke had told her was true. After all, her daughter's recent advances were extraordinary.
But watching someone get stronger after minutes of sex was ridiculous. Who wouldn't want that? To have fun and still get more powerful...
It was just too convenient!
Meanwhile, Lothur looked at Elke's status.
[Name: Elke Becker]
[Cultivation: level 3]
[STR: 2.7 -> 3.5]
[CON: 9.5 -> 11.3]
[DEX: 4.1 -> 5.1]
[AGI: 4.4 -> 5.4]
'From the looks of it, Elke will advance to level 4 between tomorrow night and Friday morning.' He smiled, satisfied that their recent training and fun had yielded more results than he had imagined.
Lothur realized that the higher Elke's Constitution was, the more vigorous her training could be and the better her recovery was. Because of this, the other attributes were stimulated more efficiently in training.
'Apparently, our sex has an effect that is suppressing Elke's low talent...' He laughed as he imagined the advantages he would have in training his harem in the future. 'My women will be powerful, no matter their talent level!'
"Sigh!"
"All right, I believe you," Hilda commented after thinking for a few moments. "Keep working hard, but take precautions... I don't want to become a grandmother before this young man gets permission from our family to marry you, Elke."
Elke blushed but nodded in agreement.
"As for you, Lothur, I hope you can keep your promise. It will be better if my daughter does not have to marry another after she has offered herself to you. So, make an effort!" She thoughtfully commented, preparing to return to her home.
"Don't worry, madam. I won't let another man touch my Elke!" He said as he hugged Elke's waist.
"Lothur..."
"Sigh..." Hilda stopped at the door of that room and said goodbye. "All right, now you'd better go to sleep..."
"Or do your stuff..." She blushed and left there with many thoughts in her mind.
While Elke and Lothur did as she said, Hilda quickly arrived at her residence, where she found her husband finishing bathing.
She sat down on one side of their bed and relaxed her body, psychologically exhausted.
"What is it, dear?" Gomeric asked in a curious tone. "How was the talk with our daughter?"
"Little Elke is already... She's already a woman. She knows more things than I had imagined." Hilda vaguely answered. "I don't think she even needs her old mother's advice."
"Haha, looks like she surprised you, huh? Elke is capable, even though she has an ordinary talent. I didn't expect anything different from her!" He said amidst his smiles.
"Hmm, you have no idea..."
"Anyway, she'll be fine, but tell me something, what do you think of Lothur?" She turned over on that bed and looked into her husband's eyes. "Do you like him?"
"Lothur? Well, he seems like a good boy..." The two continued talking about this, with Hilda already beginning to probe her husband so one day she could speak in favor of that young man.
'I hope you won't let me down, boy...'
