Chapter 138 Why can't I travel with Ram?

Klein's excuse for having Ophelia provide 3,500 catties of grain to the White Tiger Clan within a year was simply to allow him to be with Ophelia.

Now that the two of them are together, Ophelia no longer needs to provide the White Tiger Clan with surplus food.

So Ophelia put the remaining food in the walled shops to sell.

The person in charge of selling this grain was Ram.

That day, Ram came to Ophelia to buy a new batch of grain.

Ophelia's eyes lit up immediately when she saw him arrive.

“Ophelia, I’ve already exchanged all 200 jin of rice I bought before, and I want to exchange another 200 jin.” Ram took out two yellow crystals.

Ophelia naturally wouldn't refuse a business opportunity.

Over this period of time, the walled shops have been established, and the males mostly use crystals for transactions in the walled shops.

As the system upgrade progresses, the required points increase significantly, and simple animal hides are no longer sufficient to meet the point requirements.

Therefore, the fastest and easiest way is to trade with crystals.

"Sure, of course. But you have to control the quantity you sell so as not to affect the goat tribe's ability to exchange for rice."

"I know that. I'm selling it at the same price as the goat tribe."

Hearing Ram say that, Ophelia felt relieved.

She couldn't let the goat tribe suffer because of her own selfishness.

Looking at Ram's handsome face, an idea popped into Ophelia's mind.

"Ram, do you have a favorite female?"

Ram didn't know why Ophelia asked that, but he answered honestly anyway.

"I don't have a favorite female, and I don't plan to find a partner for the time being."

Upon hearing Ram say this, Ophelia immediately replied, "Then can you do me a favor?"

Ram was a little doubtful, but nodded in agreement nonetheless. "Okay, I'll help if I can,"

Since joining the Fu tribe, Ram has become even more determined to build a good relationship with Ophelia.

He always had a strange feeling that Ophelia's achievements were not limited to growing crops.

Perhaps she can lead the Fu tribe to a higher level, and may even be able to rival those advanced tribes.

"I want you to help me put on a show."

Ram didn't ask any questions; she did whatever Ophelia told her to do.

Two days later, two young men, one tall and one short, were browsing the shops next to the walled-off shops.

Meanwhile, Laxus received a message from Ophelia, saying she needed to see him and asked him to come to the Fu tribe.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the Fu tribe village, he saw two familiar figures: Lamu and Ali.

Laxus was puzzled by the intimate interaction between the two.

He had no idea that Ali and Ram had become so close.

He watched the two chatting and laughing, and felt a strange mix of emotions.

Ram saw Laxus and secretly winked at Ali.

Ali understood instantly.

Then, Ram walked faster and faster, completely ignoring Ali dragging her injured foot behind her.

As she walked, Ali's body swayed and she looked like she was about to fall to the ground.

The next instant, her waist was tightly gripped by a pair of large hands.

"what."

"Laxus, it's you?"

Laxus put Ali on the ground and glared angrily at Alam.

"She injured her foot, didn't you know? And you were walking so fast."

Ram leaned against the city wall, arms crossed, unconcerned. "Injured? So what?"

“My speed is what it is, it’s her problem if she can’t keep up.” Laxus clenched his fists in anger when he heard Ram’s words.

"Is this how you treat young females?"

Laxus stopped talking, turned around, and pulled Ali away.

Ali followed behind, her face showing some reluctance, constantly turning her head to look at Ram.

"Ram."

Seeing Ali's reaction, Laxus bit his cheek.

He bent down, picked the person up horizontally, and strode towards the Fu tribe village.

"Let me go! What right do you have to take me away? I still want to continue shopping at the shops along the wall with Ram."

Before Laxus could speak, a black figure blocked his way.

"Laxus, isn't what you're doing a little unfair?" Ram smiled as she fell in front of the two.

“I will not allow Ali to stay with someone who disrespects females like you.”

"Laxus, you're being too domineering. Taking Ali away without her consent is disrespectful to a little female, isn't it?"

Hearing Ram say this, Laxus frowned slightly and looked down at Ali in his arms.

Do you want to stay?

Ali nodded. "I want to be with him. Put me down."

Hearing Ali say that, Laxus's forehead vein throbbed. "He doesn't respect you at all, why are you still with him?"

"Of course it's because I like him, and I want him to be my partner."

"Be my partner? No way, I won't agree."

Ram found it somewhat amusing when he heard Laxus refuse.

"You won't agree? What gives you the right to refuse? And who are you to her?"

Laxash paused, then spoke again. "She is my mother's adopted daughter, so I am her brother, and I have an obligation to protect her."

“A male like you, who has no strength and no respect for females, is not worthy of being her partner.”

Laxus originally had no particular interest in Ram, a traveling merchant.

However, from the perspective of Ali's family, this lifestyle of bartering without any real means of livelihood is simply not suitable for Ali.

Ali is the White Tiger King's younger sister. She has been pampered since childhood and cannot endure hardship.

Moreover, such a good little female shouldn't have to suffer.

"Laxus, what kind of brother are you? She has her own biological brother."

"And she likes me and insists that I be her partner. I can't refuse even if I want to."

Hearing Ram say that, Ali blushed slightly.

She secretly glanced at Laxus's expression and saw that he wasn't indifferent either, which secretly raised a glimmer of hope in her heart.

"No matter what you say, I will not agree to Ali being with you."

After saying that, he hugged Ali in his arms even tighter and nudged Ram away with his shoulder.
Seeing the two figures gradually disappearing, Ram did not continue to pester them.

He curled his lips into a smile, watching their departing figures, and thought to himself, "This is interesting."

Ophelia was playing with the baby dragons outside the stone house when she saw Laxus carrying Ali and her eyes lit up.

When the two arrived, she had regained her composure. "Brother, what happened to Ali? Did she hurt her foot again?"

Ali struggled to jump to the ground, pouting as she complained, "Sister, please do something about Laxus!"

"I was having a great time with Ram in the shops by the wall, but he insisted on bringing me back and wouldn't let me go with Ram."

"Who is he to me? Why can't I travel with Ram?"

Ophelia feigned surprise and looked at Laxus.

"Why don't you let her go with Ram? I think Ram is a good person."

"Although I don't know how to hunt, I can still exchange them for quite a few crystals over the course of a year."

"What's the use of earning crystals? When disaster strikes, no amount of crystals can buy a single prey." Laxus's face was cold and his tone serious.
