Chapter 156 Catching My Brother on a Date
As she walked, Ophelia heard a noise coming from the bushes, and she instinctively wanted to speak.

Taylor, who was standing next to her, held her hand. "Princess, don't worry, they're acquaintances."

Ophelia asked, puzzled. "An acquaintance?"

Then, two figures, one tall and one short, emerged from the bushes.

Ophelia was somewhat surprised to see who it was. "Brother, Ali. What are you doing here?"

As she spoke, her gaze fell on Laxus and Ali's clasped hands.

Laxus noticed her gaze and, as if he had done something wrong, let go of Ali's hand.

Ali frowned slightly, somewhat displeased by his action.

She picked up Laxus's again, holding it in her palm. "My sister isn't an outsider, why should I let go?"

"There's nothing shameful about you being with me."

Laxus's ears turned bright red, a little embarrassed. "It just feels a bit awkward."

The thought of being seen on a date with Ali by her own sister gave her a strange feeling.

Ophelia had been trying to set him up with Ali, but he always refused with excuses.

Now that he's actively dating Ali, it feels like he's betraying his sister.

Ophelia noticed Laxus's discomfort, so she stopped teasing him.

"Laxus, since we've run into each other, we can have a picnic together."

"What does picnic mean?" Ali tilted her head, her eyes full of curiosity.

"A picnic is when everyone grills meat, eats fruit, and enjoys the scenery in the forest."

"Oh, I see! Great! Let's have a picnic here!" Ali clapped her hands and happily agreed.

"Laxus, I want to eat roasted rabbit. Go hunt some now."

"Brother, I want to eat mutton, preferably tender goat meat," Ophelia said, mimicking Ali's coquettish manner.

Laxus glanced at Ophelia and smiled helplessly.

A gentle smile appeared on his lips as he agreed. "Okay, I understand."

After Laxus left, Ali realized that Ophelia was still there.

She looked at Ophelia with some concern, but seeing that the other woman did not show any displeasure, she was relieved.

She stuck out her tongue. "Sister, I'm usually quite gentle."

Ophelia smiled and shook her head. "It's okay, just be yourself."

Laxus is her brother, that's true, but she makes Ali suffer because of that relationship.

Seeing that Ophelia wasn't angry at her for ordering Laxus around, Ali felt relieved.

Then Ophelia led Ali to a stream.

She took some fruit out of her basket and washed it in the stream.

Ali's beautiful eyes were fixed on the fruit Ophelia was washing, and she couldn't help but lick it in admiration.

"Sister, is this a new fruit you found?"

The fruit grows in a strange way, in clusters, and is purple in color. It looks quite round and plump.

"Yes, I just found it in the forest. It tastes pretty good, you should try some later."

Upon hearing that it was edible, Ali immediately became interested.

Her eyes crinkled into crescent moons as she smiled, gazing expectantly at Ophelia.

Ophelia smiled faintly as she saw the girl's greedy expression.

Here, have a taste.

Ali picked up a purple grape and put it in her mouth.

"Sister, these fruits are so delicious! They're sweet and sour, and they really whet your appetite."

"If you like it, eat more, but don't overdo it, or you'll get a sore throat."

Taylor didn't leave because Laxus went hunting.

He stayed close to Ophelia and Ali, protecting them. The three little dragon cubs also came to play with Ali, but after playing for a while, Ali was covered in sweat and collapsed on the ground from exhaustion.

"Sister, they have so much energy!" She wiped her sweat and gasped for breath.

Ophelia looked at the three little dragon cubs on the ground, still wanting more, and said softly, "Good girl, Auntie Ali is tired. Don't make a fuss anymore."

"Go over there and help your mother gather some branches. She'll roast some meat for you later."

"Yay! Yay!" Dan and Ali cheered.

The eldest brother, Cohen, didn't say anything, but turned around and picked up the dead branches on the ground.

The three little dragon cubs worked tirelessly and soon gathered a pile of firewood.

"Taylor, light the fire. Laxus should be back soon."

Ophelia walked over to the basket and squatted down, but in reality, she secretly bought some barbecue seasoning from the space shop.

That's right, what she's going to do today is grill lamb skewers.

She discovered that the system's virtual store had everything except for food.

They have things like barbecue grills and barbecue racks.

However, to avoid arousing suspicion, she did not bring these items out.

Before leaving the space, she glanced at her points. She already had 200 million points.

Her system space can be upgraded.

I wonder what rewards I'll get if the system space is upgraded to the next level?
When Laxus returned with the rabbit and the goat, Taylor had already started a fire.

Following Ophelia's instructions, she found a bluestone slab nearby.

With all the ingredients ready, Ophelia directed the two males to begin the next task.

Peeling bamboo skewers and threading lamb!
Ali, watching from the side, felt a little itchy to join in and came over to help.

But she had always been a pampered young lady who never lifted a finger and had never done any housework.

She had just skewered a few skewers of mutton when her hand was pricked by the barbs on the bamboo skewers.

"Ouch, that hurts!" Ali frowned in pain as she looked at her hand, which had immediately swelled up.

Ophelia and Laxus immediately stopped.

"What happened? Did you prick your finger?"

"Let me see." Laxus picked up Ali's hand and examined it carefully.

When he saw a bamboo splinter stuck in Ali's fair index finger, he gently tried to pull it out with his fingernail.

The bamboo splinter embedded in his finger was too small, and his rough fingers couldn't pull it out at all.

Before long, Laxus was sweating profusely with anxiety.

The bamboo splinter was stuck in her mouth, which was very uncomfortable, but she couldn't pull it out, and Ali started to panic.

"Sister, will this thorn never be removed? Am I going to die?"

"No, don't worry. Wait a moment, I'll go find something to help you remove the thorn."

She pretended to rummage through the basket next to her and bought a needle from the virtual store.

Ophelia held the needle, ready to prick the thorn, and Ali withdrew her hand in fright.

"Sister, this thing is so sharp, it will definitely hurt if it pricks your hand, I, I don't want it."

"It won't hurt, trust me," Ophelia assured her earnestly.

Ali felt uneasy, but she gritted her teeth and reached out her hand.

Ali was so frightened that she held her breath as the needle was about to prick her finger.

Just then, everything went black before her eyes, and she was embraced by a burning hot body.

It was Laxus that made her heart skip a beat.

When her sight was restored, the thorns on her hands were gone, and the stinging sensation was gone.

"See, it doesn't hurt anymore."
