Chapter 217: A supernatural power that has never appeared in hundreds of years
Ophelia shook her head and let out a breath. "I'm fine." She had a vague suspicion in her mind.
She reached for Zeref's arm to pull his shirt aside and examine the mark of his mate, but was stopped.
"Ophelia, if you're okay, let's go back and try on clothes." Zeref pulled his sleeves back and put his arms behind his back.
Zeref's unusual reaction caught Ophelia's attention, and her face darkened.
"Why won't you let me see your arm?"
"No, why do you suddenly want to see my companion beast mark? I'll let you see it when we get back outside."
Ophelia felt relieved when she heard Zeref say this.
But when the two of them returned to the house, Zeref always found an excuse to avoid her and prevent her from checking.
Ophelia felt somewhat suspicious, thinking back to the time they had spent together. Zerev was extremely well-behaved when they were together, and he even had the habit of wearing clothes to sleep.
"Zeref, show me your companion beast mark, otherwise I will not participate in tomorrow's companionship ceremony." Ophelia gave a death order.
Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Zeref had no choice but to expose his arm.
Ophelia's eyes widened in surprise when she saw the scar on his arm exactly where the companion beast mark was.
"What's going on?"
"In order to delay time and avoid being discovered about my partner, I removed the seal of my partner."
Zeref made light of it, but...
This is not removed, it is clearly gouged out.
Ophelia's eyes instantly turned red, and she threw herself into Zeref's arms. "You idiot, you fool."
"I have so many powerful weapons and space at my disposal, why would I need you to do this?"
After revealing the secret, Zeref's burden was lifted, and he hugged Ophelia back tightly. "Don't cry, I did all this willingly."
"Even if you have all these, I'm still worried and don't dare to take the risk."
The situation was critical at the time and we had to delay as long as possible.
Although he failed to hold back the head of the Fire Phoenix family, he also prevented him from successfully persuading the Pterosaur family to join him in attacking the Fu tribe.
Otherwise, if the two tribes unite, Ophelia will find it difficult to deal with them.
"Okay, it's all over. We're all fine now." Zeref shed tears for Ophelia's passing.
"If you really care about me, then don't talk about not participating in the companionship ceremony anymore."
He did all this just so that he could stop hiding and stand openly with Ophelia.
"Okay, I won't say anything more." Ophelia nodded with a sob.
After saying this, Zeref belatedly remembered, "Ophelia, you wouldn't mind my ugly body, would you?"
Ophelia glared at him. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
A smile appeared on Zeref's face as he pulled the man into his arms and kissed him.
Just as the two were being intimate, Jiuying knocked on the door.
"What's up?"
"Young Master, someone from the Fu tribe is coming." Jiuying had an anxious look on his face.
"Someone from the Fu tribe is coming. Who is it? Take me to see him." Ophelia stepped out of Zeref's arms and opened the door.
Jiuying and Zeref looked at each other, then led Ophelia to the conference room.
As soon as she entered the conference room, Ophelia saw several people sitting inside.
"Father, Mother, why are you here?" She was a little surprised.
Rebecca stepped forward and pulled Ophelia into her arms. "You and Zeref are having your partnership ceremony. How can I not come as your mother?"
"So that's how it is." Ophelia breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister, not only Rebecca is here, but I'm here too." Ali jumped out and walked up to Ophelia and gave her a big hug.
Ophelia scratched her little nose. "I see, I see."
"Princess." Taylor, who was standing next to her, had a sincere look in his eyes. Seeing that she was not injured, he actually believed Klein's words.
"Taylor, I missed you so much." Ophelia took the initiative to step forward and kissed Taylor on the cheek.
Seeing this, Ali turned her face away in shame.
Ophelia thought of what had just happened. He calmly checked the companion beast mark on Klein's body. It was still golden, without any change.
She had some guesses in her mind, but she was not in a hurry to come out.
"I asked Jiuying to arrange a room for you. You should have a good rest. Tomorrow will be the partnership ceremony between Ophelia and me."
Even if it was a love rival who came to his house, although he was reluctant, he had to treat him well.
After a day of rest, it was time for Ophelia and Zeref's pairing ceremony.
The companionship ceremony was held with great fanfare, and I wonder where Zeref got the flower petals from.
Flowers accompanied them all the way from Zeref's mansion to the city gate tower, until the two of them climbed up the city tower. The wizard announced in front of all the residents of the city that Ophelia and Zeref were a pair.
The residents of the city saw Ophelia and started talking in low voices.
"Isn't that female from our Holy City? Why have I never seen her before?"
"I haven't seen this female at the banquet either."
"I heard that Zeref's partner is from a low-level tribe, and it was her tribe that fought against the Fire Phoenix Clan a few days ago."
"I've also heard that there's a fifth family in the Holy City called the Fu Clan."
"Zeref is actually paired with a female from a low-level tribe. How did the Pterosaur Patriarch agree to this?" A little female opened her mouth in surprise.
The male next to him curled his lips. "Whether you agree or not, isn't it like this?"
The residents were whispering to each other, and a female hiding in the corner looked at the two people on the city wall with vicious eyes.
Just as everyone's eyes were focused on the two people on the city wall, three little dragon cubs were tied up and thrown to the city gate.
"Zeref, if you want these three little dragons to live, you must end your partnership with her, otherwise I will kill them." Sophie's fiery red hair was a mess, and her usually neat and clean clothes were covered in dust.
Her eyes were bloodshot and she had obviously lost her mind.
Ophelia and the other girl saw three little dragon cubs lying on the ground and hurried down from the city wall. Klein also led his men to try to sneak closer, but they were discovered by Sophie.
"Stop, don't come over here, or I will kill this little female cub first." Sophie squatted down and placed her hands on Wendy's neck.
"Don't hurt my Wendy." Rebecca was so scared when she saw this scene that her eyes immediately turned red.
Ali was also very worried. "Why don't you let my sister and Zeref go together?"
"Why? Because he's my fiancé and they killed my brother!"
Ophelia turned to look at Zeref. "Is she your fiancée?"
"Yes, but I never agreed to it. It was just a private decision between my father and the Fire Phoenix Patriarch. I don't like her at all, and I never have."
During the standoff between the two sides, Cohen and Daner woke up.
They were shocked when they saw Sophie holding the bone knife in front of their sister.
The two little guys looked at each other, and then, taking advantage of Sophie's unpreparedness, spit water and fire at her.
Sophie was frightened by the flames and dodged a little slowly, and her hair on her forehead and the linen clothes on her body were burned.
What followed was water, which soaked her like a drowned rat.
"Ah, what is that?"
When the Yilong family leader saw this scene, he was shocked and then extremely surprised. His lips trembled. "Superpower, this is a superpower."
Unexpectedly, the cub born from the union of Zeref and Ophelia, a lowly female, actually inherited the supernatural powers of their ancient ancestors.
For hundreds of years, there has been no male with supernatural powers in the Holy City.
