Seeing Lothur enter Annaliese's residence, Elise's eyebrows drew together tightly as her mouth dropped open at the absurd thought going through her mind.
'No! It can't be!'
'This guy wouldn't be able to!' She shook her head from side to side, smiling at her delusions.
But, regardless of what she thought, Lothur had entered Annaliese's residence accompanied only by such a woman, and Elise could not help but be intrigued.
So, instead of going on with her business, she approached that area, using an alternative path that could lead her to a place from where she could better observe that residence.
Servants were obliged to serve their masters and not get involved in their affairs. But some individuals in this condition could not contain their curiosity in certain situations.
Since her curiosity was much greater than that of the other people on this property, Elise could not help but spy on these two.
And having already done similar things in the past, she quickly found a way to approach those two without drawing anyone's attention.
'Hmm? It looks like they are heading to the courtyard of her residence...' She noticed their movements and promptly moved across the roof of that area while ducking down so as not to attract their attention.
With that, it was not long before she observed the two in the middle of Annaliese's courtyard, where was a small space designated for training, something familiar to find in cultivators' residences.
Usually, cultivating alone at home, without many resources or artifacts, was the norm for most cultivators in this world. And even members of the nobility did not usually train in unique places unless they already held high positions in their organizations.
That was true due to the greater ease of cultivating without outside help at the early levels of cultivation and the costs required to use unique places or resources.
So, even though Annaliese was part of the nobility, she trained in an 'ordinary' place, which only had a better concentration of spiritual energy than other areas in this region.
Seeing the two in that training place, Elise became even more curious about what Lothur wanted there.
However, she suddenly saw something that almost made her lose her composure.
'What?'
'Don't tell me they are going to do that?' Her face turned red as she saw Lothur taking off his shirt in front of Annaliese.
Unfortunately, Elise could not hear them from that spot, so she understood the situation completely differently than she should have...
Not only that, because of her previous encounter with Lothur, this woman soon began to think that it was only natural for him to seek out as many relationships as possible...
She was still shocked by Lothur's sudden recovery the day before, but every time she thought of him, all that came to her mind was his naked body.
'With something that size, I doubt he'll be able to abstain for long...' She felt nervous, thinking she should leave that place to warn Viktoria of this unacceptable situation.
Due to these impure thoughts, she did not take long to flee from that place in nervousness, trying to put him out of her mind.
...
Meanwhile, in Annaliese's courtyard...
Lothur had just taken off his shirt to prepare for training with his sister-in-law and had a determined expression on his face.
He then listened. "What do you think you..."
"Don't worry. I just don't want to destroy my clothes." He smiled at her just before talking about how things should work between them. "Annaliese, I know what I'm about to ask will seem irrational, but I need you to help me with this."
Her eyes sharpened as the interest in her heart increased to another level. She listened. "I want you to teach me a lesson..." He almost laughed at his words. "I want you to use whatever force is necessary to push me to my limit."
"As long as you don't aim at my eyes or genitalia, as well as not using weapons, you can do whatever you want during training."
"The training ends when I am at the limit so that I can no longer maintain my consciousness." He said determinedly, staying only in short shorts as he got into a fighting stance.
He only had his movement technique, but he still thought it appropriate to prepare in this way to face Annaliese, a 6th Transformation cultivator.
Seeing that and having heard all of his conditions, Annaliese felt awkward right now, despite the undeniable desire she had in her heart to teach him a lesson.
"Why do you..."
"No, Annaliese, I said before. No questions asked."
"Will you keep your word? Or will you keep stalling?" He asked dryly, looking at that woman's body in a way that irritated her.
"You!" Her fists suddenly closed as she walked toward him. "Fine!"
"If you want to suffer, then I will teach you something for you to never forget!"
"I just hope you don't regret it later, scumbag!" She continued in her clothes from before, since to deal with a mere mortal, she would not even need to worry about improving her fighting conditions.
"Good!"
"But don't underestimate me. If you give me gaps, I will try to take advantage of this beautiful body of yours." He said this as he smiled in a way Annaliese had never seen him do.
But Lothur was not showing lust for this woman right now because of any kind of perversion he might have. No, as a strong-minded person, this man would not show that kind of look even if the most beautiful woman in Concordia was naked in front of him.
He was only doing this to stimulate that woman's negative feelings against him, using his own past to his advantage to provoke her even more.
"You shameless worm!" She finally could not take the anger she felt at the moment for Lothur and ran at him, ready to make him swallow his words.
"Now, even if you ask me for forgiveness, I won't let that go!"
"Good!" Lothur said in satisfaction as he finally began to use his movement technique for the first time in a fight.
Cross Walk!
He then felt every fiber of his body becoming more energetic as the movements of this technique flowed through his mind, telling him how to act in this situation.
Doing this for the first time as Annaliese launched a kick towards his chest, Lothur immediately made a backward movement, deflecting it with ease.
"I told you not to underestimate me..." He whispered to her as he made his hands run towards her waist.
Seeing that, Annaliese was shocked for a moment, as Lothur had easily dodged a blow that a mortal should not be able to dodge. But as she saw his hands coming towards her body, the blood rushed to her head, and she acted more vigorously.
Pow!
She made a normal punching motion toward Lothur's chest, this time using more force and speed than the previous blow.
Seeing the close-range attack coming at him, Lothur finally became more serious, sensing that it would not be long before this woman began to put pressure on him.
He clenched his jaw tightly and began to prepare himself for what would come next.
This training was for his body, but his will was the most important thing. Without this, he would probably dismount after Annaliese's first blow.
However, having a strong will would not lessen the pain caused by injuries!
And being prepared, he finally received the first blow after dodging his opponent five moves in a row.
"Ahhhhhh!" The first cry of pain left his throat while his eyes trembled uncontrollably.
Realizing that, Annaliese remained impressed, but she did not stop fighting him, constantly trying to deliver more punches and kicks against his body.
Pow!
"Ahhhhhh!"
"That's for you saying those things to my sister!"
Pow!
"Ouch!"
"That's for you looking at me in that disgusting way!"
...
Pow!
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!"
"That's for you always being so annoying!"
And then Annaliese lost control, hitting him with a force equivalent to that of a person at the beginning of the 3rd Transformation.
But since at no time had Lothur complained or exclaimed more mediocrely, she continued to follow his rules while relieving the frustration from her heart.
