Chapter 188: Bows and Arrows Can't Hurt Brada

In the three-story stone house, with the dim candlelight in the room, several tall figures were imprinted on the walls of the stone house.

"So what do we do next?" Taylor asked.

Ophelia also looked at Zeref.

Zeref thought for a moment and then spoke slowly. "Ophelia, go meet Kelly tomorrow and see how she feels about Tagore."

"If possible, persuade her not to rush into partnering with Tagore. If... then you should also send someone to keep an eye on Kelly's movements."

Ophelia understood what Zeref meant.

Once a woman starts to fall in love, she will behave irrationally.

If Tagore was really a spy sent by Brada, then he might have deceived Kelly and made her do something detrimental to the Fu tribe.

"Okay, I'll go tomorrow."

After discussing it, they started cooking.

After dinner, Ophelia went to the bathroom to take a shower. She sat in the bathtub and thought about what had happened recently.

Suddenly a cool breeze blew by, and she turned her head and was surprised to find that the bathroom window was open.

Ophelia was frightened and hurried to pick up the clothes next to her and put them on. At this moment, the bonfire in the house went out.

She was concentrating her attention on the movements in the room and vaguely heard light footsteps.

"Tai." Ophelia was about to shout, but suddenly a hand reached out from behind and covered her mouth.

Then a big hand pulled her out of the bathtub, and a warm body attached to her back.

She could feel the figure behind her, tall and muscular.

It's a young male.

Ophelia thought to herself, this is terrible.

She opened her mouth and bit the hand that was covering her mouth. She bit it very hard, and soon her mouth tasted like rust.

"You bite so hard." The male behind him chuckled.

Ophelia could feel his muscular chest muscles tremble.

"How come you can't recognize my voice after not seeing me for so long?"

Ophelia was nervous, and she was stunned when she heard the male say that.

Then he reacted. "Zeref, you're back."

Seeing that Ophelia recognized him, Zeref smiled with satisfaction. He put his arm around Ophelia's waist and turned her around.

His hot breath sprayed on Ophelia's neck, and he held her tightly in his arms.

Only when she touched Ophelia's warm lips again did she feel alive again.

The fears of these days and the fatigue from running around for days disappeared in an instant.

They kissed for a long time. Taylor didn't let go of Ophelia until she felt a burning and tingling sensation on her lips.

Klein, who was making the bed in the bedroom, smelled a masculine scent. His expression froze, and he turned to walk in the direction of the scent.

But after taking a few steps, he recognized that aura.

It's Zeref's, he's back.

Zeref's first reaction was relief, but the next moment he felt a little sour.

Now that Zeref is back, Ophelia won't be able to see him anymore.

Taylor also detected Ophelia's breath, so ten minutes later the four of them met in the living room.

Through the dim bonfire, Ophelia saw Zeref's thin face.

She touched Zeref's cheek with some concern. "Why have you lost so much weight?"

"I was very worried when you weren't by my side. When Maya sent word that Brada had come to the City of Beasts, I was so worried that I couldn't sleep every day."

The anxiety and worry in Zeref's eyes were unmistakable. When Ophelia heard him say that, her eyes reddened slightly.

"You fool, I have Taylor and Zeref by my side. Even if you want to come back, why rush?"

Seeing the bloodshot in Zeref's eyes and the dark circles under his eyes, she knew that he must have not slept for several days and nights.

Zeref shook his head. "I won't be at ease until I see you're alright."

"It's all right now. I can have a good sleep." A broad smile appeared on Zeref's lips.

Zeref watched him smile in a relaxed manner, unable to associate him with the arrogant young master of the Holy City before.

The once most beautiful woman was pulled down from the altar because of love.

Even those in a higher position will bow their heads and step down for love, just to be with the one they love.

"I'll make the bed. You can sleep on the second floor tonight." Klein couldn't bear to watch Ophelia and Zeref being intimate anymore. He pursed his lips and turned back to the bedroom.

He endured the sadness and heartache and made the bed soft. After making it, she went up to the third floor without saying a word.

Taylor saw this. "I'll go boil some water for you, wash up well, and get a good sleep tonight."

Zeref nodded. "Thank you."

So after washing up, Zeref hugged Ophelia and kissed her all over before falling into a deep sleep.

Ophelia was so excited that she couldn't fall asleep for a long time. She turned her head and gently touched Zeref's straight nose with her finger.

She really couldn't figure out what was so good about herself that deserved Taylor, Zeref and the others to treat her like this.

She always felt guilty that she couldn't return the same feelings to them.

She didn't figure it out until she fell asleep.

The next day, because Zeref came back, he hadn't seen the little dragons for a long time.

So Ophelia made an exception and brought the little dragon out of the system space, but for safety reasons, Taylor and Zeref stayed outside the stone house to prevent anyone from approaching.

Wendy rushed over to Zeref happily upon seeing him. "Father, I missed you so much. You're finally back."

"Yes, father, why did you take so long this time? We have never been separated from you for so long."

"Wendy cries every time she thinks of you, and you can't comfort her no matter what you do." The second child, Daner, told the embarrassing story of his younger sister Wendy.

Zeref felt warm at heart when he heard the two children's thoughts about him.

Then he turned to look at the eldest brother, Cohen, who had been silent at the side. "Don't you miss your father?"

Cohen pursed his lips and just stared at Zeref.

Ophelia saw the desire in Cohen's eyes, so she pushed her son.

"Go, go hug your father, he misses you too."

Hearing Ophelia say this, Cohen slowly walked towards Zeref with red eyes.

Zeref saw the look Ophelia was giving him, and with a faint smile on his lips he raised his hand and hugged Cohen into his arms.

"Cohen, father misses you too."

Ke'en hugged her father's neck and whispered softly, "I miss you too, Dad."

The family of four cuddled together for a while, and then Ophelia brought the three little dragon cubs into the space.

Ophelia briefly told Zeref what had happened recently.

When Zeref heard Ophelia say that Brada had sent spies into the Fo tribe, his eyes were as dark as ink.

"If he discovers the little dragon cub, I will never let him return to the Holy City alive."

"Well, I've been prepared for this." On the second day after Brada entered the Fu tribe, Ophelia asked Lan Tai to work overtime to make cold weapons.

Ophelia even took Zeref to see the bows and crossbows made under her supervision.

Zeref picked up the arrow feathers and looked at them, then suddenly spoke.

"You shoot the arrow at me."

Ophelia was a little skeptical of what she heard. "What?"

"The skin of male Fire Phoenix and Pterosaurs is exceptionally tough. I'm afraid your arrows won't be able to hurt Brada."

Ophelia's face changed when she heard this, and she hurried to try it out.

Sure enough, the arrow didn't do any harm to Zeref, just scratched his skin.

"What should we do then?"

Is there really no way to deal with Brada?
