Chapter 138 Why can’t I be with Ram?
Asking Ophelia to provide 3,500 kilograms of food to the White Tiger Tribe within a year was Klein's excuse to partner with Ophelia.
Now that the two of them were partners, Ophelia no longer needed to provide the remaining food to the White Tiger Tribe.
So Ophelia sold the remaining food in the wall shop.
The person responsible for selling these grains was Ram.
That day, Ram came to Ophelia to buy a new batch of food.
Ophelia's eyes lit up immediately when she saw him coming.
"Ophelia, I have exchanged all the 200 kilograms of rice I bought before, and I want to exchange another 200 kilograms." Ram took out two yellow crystals.
Seeing that there was business coming to her, Ophelia naturally would not refuse.
After this period of time, the walled shops have been formed, and the males mostly use crystals to conduct transactions in the walled shops.
The points required for system upgrades in the later stages are increasing, and now simple animal skins are simply not enough to meet the points required for system upgrades.
Therefore, the fastest and most convenient way is to trade with crystals.
"Yes, 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 this, Ophelia felt relieved.
She couldn't let the goat tribe suffer just for her own selfish reasons.
Looking at Ram's handsome face, an idea came to Ophelia's mind.
"Ram, do you have any young females you like?"
Ram didn't know why Ophelia asked this, but he answered honestly.
"I don't have any favorite females, and I have no plans to form a partner for the time being."
Hearing Ram say this, Ophelia immediately said: "Then do me a favor."
Ram was a little confused, but nodded in agreement. "Okay, I will help you as long as I can."
Since joining the Fu tribe, Ram has become more determined to establish a good relationship with Ophelia.
He always had an inexplicable feeling that Ophelia's achievements were not limited to growing crops.
Perhaps she can lead the Fu tribe to a higher level, and even be on par with those higher tribes.
"I want you to help me act out a scene."
Ram didn't ask any more questions and just did whatever Ophelia asked him to do.
So two days later, two young men, one tall and one short, were shopping next to a shop on the wall.
At the same time, Laxus received a message from Ophelia, saying that she had something to discuss with him and asked him to come to the Fu tribe.
As soon as he reached the gate of the Fu tribe, he saw two familiar figures, Ram and Ali.
Watching the two interacting intimately, Laxus felt a little confused.
He didn't even know when Ali and Ram became so familiar with each other.
He watched the two of them talking and laughing, and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Ram saw Laxus and winked at Ali secretly.
Ali understood instantly.
Immediately afterwards, Ram walked faster and faster, completely ignoring Ali who was following behind him with her injured foot.
As she was walking, Ali's body tilted and she was about to fall to the ground.
The next moment, her waist was tightly held by a pair of big hands.
"ah."
"Laxus, why is it you?"
Laxus placed Ali on the ground and glared at Aram.
"Her foot is injured, don't you know? And you're still walking so fast."
Ram leaned against the wall, arms folded across his chest, unconcerned. "Injured? So what?"
"That's my speed. 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 a little female?"
Laxus stopped talking, turned around and pulled Ali away.
Ali followed behind with a look of reluctance on her face, and kept turning her head to look at Ram.
"Ram."
Laxus bit his cheek when he saw Ali like this.
He bent down, picked up the person, and strode towards the Fu tribe.
"Let me go. Why do you want to take me away? I still want to continue shopping around the walled shops with Ram."
Before Laxus could say anything, a dark figure stood in front of him.
"Laxus, isn't it a bit unfair for you to do this?" Ram fell in front of the two men with a smile on her lips.
"I won't let Ali stay with you if you don't respect little females like this."
"Laxus, you are being too overbearing. Isn't it disrespectful to a female to take her away without regard for her wishes?"
Hearing Ram say this, Laxus frowned slightly, and he lowered his head to look at Ali in his arms.
"Do you want to stay?"
Ali nodded, "I want to be with him, put me down."
Hearing Ali say this, the vein on Laxus' forehead jumped. "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 your partner? No, I won't agree."
Ram found it a little funny to hear Laxus refuse.
"You don't agree? Why don't you agree? Who are you to her?"
Laxas paused, then spoke again. "She is my mother's adopted daughter, which makes me her brother. I have an obligation to keep an eye on her."
"A male like you, who has no strength and no respect for the female, is not worthy of being her mate."
Laxus originally had no idea about traveling merchants like Ram.
But now, if we look at it from the perspective of Ali's relatives, this kind of lifestyle that has no power and relies solely on traveling merchants to barter is not suitable for Ali at all.
Ali is the younger sister of the White Tiger King. She has been pampered since childhood and cannot endure hardship.
Besides, a good little female like her shouldn't have to suffer.
"Laxus, you are not her brother at all. She has her own biological brother."
"Besides, she liked me and insisted that I be her partner. I couldn't refuse even if I wanted to."
Hearing Ram say this, Ali's cheeks turned slightly red.
She secretly looked up at the expression on Laxus's face, and seeing that he was not indifferent, a hint of anticipation rose in her heart.
"No matter what you say, I won't agree to Ali being with you."
After saying that, he hugged Ali tighter in his arms and used his shoulder to push Ram away.
Seeing the two people gradually leaving, Ram did not continue to pester them.
He curled his lips, looked at their departing figures, and sighed inwardly that it was quite interesting.
Ophelia was playing with the little dragons outside the stone house. When she saw Laxus coming over with Ali in his arms, her eyes lit up.
When the two of them arrived, she regained her composure. "Brother, what happened to Ali? Is her foot injured again?"
Ali struggled and jumped to the ground, pouting and complaining. "Sister, please take care of Laxus."
"Ram and I were having fun in the walled shop, but he insisted on bringing me back and wouldn't let me play with Ram."
"Who is he to me? Why can't I be with Ram?"
Ophelia feigned surprise and looked at Laxus.
"Why don't you let her go with Ram? I think Ram is fine."
"Even though I don't know how to hunt, I can still earn a lot of crystals in a year."
"What's the point of earning crystals? When a disaster year comes, no matter how many crystals you have, you can't buy a single prey." Laxus's face was cold and his tone was serious.
