Chapter 168 Learning to Weave
When Maya arrived with her loom, Lantai Pillow Crossbow was grinning from ear to ear.

"How is this going?"

"nothing."

Taylor and Klein tacitly hid their bows and arrows behind their backs so that Maya wouldn't see them.

Seeing their secretive demeanor, Maya wanted to go forward and investigate.

The two of them shouted in unison, "Stand there, don't come any closer."

Maya looked at Ophelia with a puzzled expression, and Ophelia shrugged, indicating that she didn't know either.

Maya gave the two a strange look, then waved to the males, signaling them to place the loom in the open space.

"Ophelia, look what this is!"

When Maya lifted the animal skin covering the loom, Ophelia's eyes immediately lit up.

"A loom! You actually managed to get your hands on a loom."

Ophelia looked around the loom in amazement, occasionally even moving the loom herself.

Lan Tai's attention was immediately drawn to the huge wooden object in front of him.

"Chieftain, what is this?"

“This is a loom; the linen clothes I’m wearing were made from this.” Ophelia pointed to her clothes.

Lantai had already observed Ophelia's clothes; they were different from ordinary animal hides, as if they were made of plants.

He had been thinking about how to make clothes from plants, and only today, after seeing the loom, did he realize that.

It turns out this fabric is made by machine, but what is the working principle behind it?

Lantai looked at Ophelia with sparkling eyes. "Chieftain, may I study this loom?"

Ophelia's expression immediately turned serious when she saw his menacing look, as if he were a predator sharpening its knives.

"No."

"Chief, I promise I won't break anything. Once I figure it out, I'll make you an exact replica of the loom."

Ophelia shook her head. "No, if one loom is broken, there will be no more."

Maya found it somewhat amusing when she heard that Lantai wanted to fix the loom.

"Do you, a male, know the origin of this loom? It's a product of the Holy Capital, the result of generations of research."

"You think you can make it just because you glanced at it twice? Don't overthink it, go to sleep early."

Seeing that both Ophelia and Maya said so, Lantai also understood the importance of the loom.

However, he was still unwilling to give up, and he looked at Ophelia hopefully.

"Chief, when you use this loom, may I watch from the side?"

"I promise I won't touch the loom, I'll just look at it."

Ophelia, unwilling to reveal Lantai's craftsmanship, said calmly, "You should finish what you have first, and we'll talk about the rest later."

Seeing a glimmer of hope, Lan Tai happily carried the crossbow away.

“Ophelia, this is a male who can weave cloth; the young master specially sent him here.”

"You can ask him if there's anything you don't understand."

Ophelia sized up the male in front of her, whose skin was as black as charcoal. The male seemed to be born with dark skin and a thin build, and his hands were even more slender and long than hers, a female.

Moreover, calluses are clearly visible on the tips of the male's index finger and thumb.

"Alright, then please stay at the Fu family's residence for a few days."

“Okay.” Zeref had made the male swear an oath before he came.

Once we return to the Holy Capital, we will never reveal what happened in the City of Ten Thousand Beasts.

Ophelia had originally planned to learn how to weave on her own, but she didn't expect Zeref to be so thoughtful as to send a weaving male along with her.

Under the guidance of the weaving male and with Ophelia's tireless efforts, Ophelia finally produced a piece of linen two meters long and three meters wide five days later.

Although the gaps between the linen and the linen thread are still a bit large, it's already quite good.

The male weaver held the linen cloth Ophelia was weaving up to the sunlight and examined it closely. He nodded in satisfaction.

"Ophelia, it's already very good that you've managed to weave this much in just a few days."

"Can this linen be used to make clothes?" "Yes, but you'll need to make several layers to prevent it from tearing easily."

"okay, I get it."

Ophelia knew that the linen she had woven was not enough for an adult male to wear.

So she made several little bibs for the three little dragon cubs to wear.

When the little dragons transform into human form, their upper bodies are bare, with only a strip of animal skin around their waists.

With this bib, I no longer have to worry about the little dragon cubs getting cold on their bellies.

After all, for Chinese people, the bottom line is that the blanket should cover their navel.

Wendy happily twirled around in her little bib. "Mommy, Mommy, this dress is so pretty, and it's not hot at all."

"Yes, it's much cooler than animal hide," the second brother praised in a single ear.

The eldest son, Cohen, tugged at his undergarment and said awkwardly, "Mother, I only need this one piece of clothing. The rest can be given to my younger siblings."

Seeing Cohen's sensible appearance, Ophelia's heart softened.

She patted Cohen's head gently and said, "Each of you has three. Even though you're the older brother, you don't have to give in to them."

"You are all equally important to me."

Hearing his mother say this, Cohen was moved, and his eyes secretly welled up with tears.

When his father was alive, he always used the excuse that he was the older brother to make him give way to his younger siblings.

He had gotten used to it, and he never expected his mother to say such a thing.

Ophelia was unaware of Zeref's actions; had she known, she would have stopped him.

We're all experiencing childbirth for the first time, so why treat each other differently?

Why should the older brother always give way to his younger brother and sister?

After teaching Ophelia how to weave, the weaving male found Ophelia that day.

“Ophelia, you have learned to weave. You will be able to weave even better fabrics as you become more skilled.”

"If you want to make clothes then, no problem. My mission is complete, and I will be heading back to the Holy Capital in the next couple of days."

Hearing that the weaving male would return to the holy city of Ophelia, her mind began to wander.

"Could you please go back a couple of days later? I'd like you to bring me something."

"of course can."

When the male weaver returned to the City of Beasts and saw Maya's attitude towards Ophelia, he began to have a vague suspicion.

The fact that she could make Maya submit to her and that the young master could bestow upon her the identity of a little female who was superior to the loom must mean she was no ordinary person.

It would be even better if we could make friends.

For the next five days, Ophelia worked day and night to make linen.

Seeing how hard Ophelia was working, Klein felt a little jealous.

"Are you going to give this fabric to Zeref?"

Ophelia did not hide it and immediately admitted it.

Klein, holding his breath, looked at Taylor, who was diligently serving him tea and water.

"You just stand by and watch her work so hard for Zeref."

Taylor's expression remained calm. "Zereff can't be by the princess's side, so it's understandable that the princess would do things for him."

Klein scoffed. "You're really magnanimous."

He strode away from the stone house, unwilling to watch Ophelia diligently working on the linen.

Five days later, Ophelia finally finished weaving a 5-meter-long and 5-meter-wide piece of linen.

Ophelia looked at the linen and estimated that it should be enough to make a set of clothes.

"Please take this cloth to Jiu Ying." Ophelia wrapped the linen in several layers of animal hide and solemnly handed it to the weaving male.

She dared not reveal her relationship with Zelev, and could only mention Jiu Ying in a roundabout way.

When the male weaver heard Ophelia say this, he wondered what relationship Ophelia had with Jiu Ying.
Jiu Ying is the young master's most favored beast servant. If he speaks up, the young master might actually take out the loom.
