Chapter 118 He's no worse than Taylor, is he?
In the Lord's Mansion of Wanshou City, Zeref was talking to the pterosaur servant in the room.
The pterosaur servant said, "Master, this is the third time the Patriarch has urged you to return to the Holy City."
Zeref frowned, "Don't worry about it. Just say the candy theft hasn't been fully investigated yet and I need to stay here to continue investigating."
The beast servant hesitated and continued to persuade: "But, the master has already issued the final notice."
"He said that if you don't go back, he will send someone to take over, and then the affairs of the master and the young master will be exposed."
Zeref's face darkened. He knew what the beast servant said.
But now that Ophelia was about to give birth, he really didn't want to leave.
"Young Master."
"Zeref, are you there?" The voices of the beast servant and Ophelia sounded at the same time.
Zeref raised his hand to stop the beast servant from saying anything.
"I'm here, come in if you have anything to say."
Seeing this, the beast servant stepped forward, opened the door, and welcomed Ophelia in.
"master."
"Well, are you guys discussing something?" Ophelia couldn't help but ask when she saw the beast servant there.
Zeref hurried forward, put his arm around her waist, and helped her sit on the chair.
"We've finished talking about it. It's okay."
"Why did you come to see me suddenly? If you have anything to say, I can tell you when I get back to the Fu Clan, or you can send someone to notify me. Why bother coming here in person?"
Ophelia shook her head at Zeref's concern. "I'm fine, don't worry."
"I came here today because I want to ask you for help."
Ophelia looked at the beast servant and hesitated to speak.
Seeing this, Zeref waved his hand and let the beast servant go out first.
Then he asked, "What's wrong?"
"I..." Ophelia didn't know how to start and felt that she was being too demanding.
But she was really afraid that something might happen to Taylor on his way to the White Tiger Mine, and she had been feeling uneasy these days.
If the males from Wanshou City followed her, she would feel much more at ease.
Seeing Ophelia like this, Zeref chuckled. "Ophelia, we are partners. You can say whatever you want."
"I promised to deliver food to White Tiger King Klein. I plan to have Loki lead his men to the White Tiger Tribe mine in two days."
"It's just that the White Tiger mine is quite far away from the White Tiger tribe, and Taylor brought so much rice with him, I'm a little worried..."
A hint of disappointment flashed across Zeref's eyes, but it was quickly hidden.
He held Ophelia's shoulders and said, "Don't worry, I will send a group of males from the Beast City to accompany him. I will never let anything happen to Taylor."
Zeref's assurance was like a shot of adrenaline for Ophelia, calming her restless heart.
So at dinner time that night, Ophelia told Taylor about this.
"Zeref, thank you."
Although he knew that Zeref did this because of Ophelia, Taylor was still grateful for his actions.
Zeref picked up a piece of shredded potato with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth. He said calmly, "I just don't want Ophelia to worry. No matter what, you must come back safely."
Taylor smiled and looked at Ophelia lovingly. "Don't worry, Princess. I will definitely come back safely."
Zeref nodded. "You'd better keep your word."
Although Zeref's attitude was cold, Taylor still saw a hint of concern in his expression.
He turned to look at Ophelia and spoke softly. "Princess, after I leave, let Zeref move in with you in the Fo tribe."
"I can rest assured that he will protect you in the Fu Clan."
Zeref tightened his grip on the chopsticks and subconsciously looked at Ophelia.
Ophelia was also looking at him at this time, and then she nodded slightly.
"good."
It was just a simple word, yet it made Zeref's heart surge.
It also gave him hope.
Is Ophelia ready to accept him?
Zeref couldn't suppress the smile on his face anymore.
Taylor felt a little sad when he saw Zeref's joyful expression.
But for the princess's safety, he was willing to endure it.
Next, the three of them discussed going to the White Tiger Tribe.
The next morning, Zeref moved all the daily necessities he used in the City of Beasts to the Fu Clan.
After breakfast, Laxus arrived with twenty members of the Gold Dragon Clan.
"Brother, Taylor, you must remember that your life is the most important at all times."
"If you really encounter any danger, don't hesitate to throw away the rice immediately. Saving your life is the most important thing."
Taylor felt warm in his heart as he listened to Ophelia's instructions over and over again.
He held Ophelia's hand and soothed her anxious heart.
"Don't worry, Princess. I will definitely protect myself."
"Don't worry, sister. I will protect myself." Laxus also solemnly promised.
After Ophelia carefully reminded the two of other precautions, Taylor set off with twenty males from Wanshou City and Laxus.
Ophelia stood at the gate of the Fu tribe, watching Taylor's figure gradually disappearing into the distance, a layer of mist covering her beautiful eyes and eyebrows.
Seeing that Ophelia was sad, Zeref silently walked up to her, hugged her in his arms, and comforted her softly.
"Don't worry, I sent a beast servant to follow secretly. If anything happens, he will fly back with Taylor and Laxus."
"In the air, no one can match the pterosaur."
Ophelia was a little surprised to hear that Zeref had sent out the beast servants as well.
"He is specially sent to protect you. How can you send him out as well? What if you encounter any danger?"
Ophelia was a little anxious.
She was worried about Taylor's safety, but she also didn't want to put Zeref in danger.
Zeref lowered his head and kissed the top of Ophelia's head.
He smiled and said, "My little female, your partner is also very powerful. Even if the beast servant is not here, I will not be in danger."
"Besides, the beast servant is usually with me only to help pass on messages. His presence or absence doesn't have much impact on me."
Ophelia breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Zeref say this.
She hugged Zeref's waist back and whispered, "Zeref, thank you."
"We're tired after standing for so long, let's go back."
He was very happy when he felt Ophelia's softening attitude towards him.
What's more, Taylor is gone now, and I am the one who stays with Ophelia.
He believed that as long as they spent more time together, Ophelia would fall in love with him.
He's no worse than Taylor, is he?
On the other side, in the Snow Wolf Tribe, a male sneakily ran to a fence of the Snow Wolf Tribe.
He knocked gently on the fence, and the wooden boards on the fence were removed, revealing Loki's thin face.
"What's wrong? Is there any news from the Fu tribe?"
"Yes, there is news, but this..." The male rubbed his fingers with a sly smile on his face.
Loki glared at him and reluctantly took out a red crystal from the animal skin pouch at his waist.
"Now you can tell me."
The male looked around and seeing that no one was paying attention, he quietly stepped forward and spoke.
"Ophelia asked Taylor to deliver food to the White Tiger Tribe mines. They set off this morning."
"They brought a total of 500 kilograms of food."
