Chapter 104: Stealing chicken but losing rice
Zeref turned to leave but was stopped by Taylor, who looked over with some dissatisfaction.

"If you don't have the courage to go, don't stop me."

Taylor shook his head. "You have no evidence. Even if you go, they won't admit it."

"If there's a commotion, it will be detrimental to the princess's ability to establish herself as the clan leader."

Taylor was telling the truth. The Fu tribe had just been established, and it was the time for Ophelia to establish her prestige as the tribe leader.

If word gets out about the theft of the rice fields, what will the nearby tribes, which are already unhappy with female chiefs, think?
They would think that a young female could not be a clan leader and could not protect a tribe.

It may even happen that someone comes to step on it today and someone else comes to step on it tomorrow.

Then the Fu clan will become a soft persimmon that anyone can exploit at will.

So this matter cannot be made a big deal.

"What should we do now?" As the crown prince of the Holy City, Zeref had never felt so aggrieved.

"You can settle the score with Loki, but you can't use rice as an excuse."

It's easy to deal with Loki, just find someone to cover his head and beat him up.

The most important thing now is to deal with the rice grown by the Snow Wolf Tribe.

Since some people have already suspected that the Snow Wolf Tribe’s rice is related to them.

If this matter cannot be handled properly, it will create a situation where the Snow Wolf Tribe can come and steal, and other tribes can also steal.

When there are more people, who can they settle accounts with?

"Why not just pull it out directly? Why go through so many twists and turns?" Zeref, who always attacked his enemies directly, really looked down on Taylor's timid behavior.

"That would make the neighboring tribes feel that we are bullying them, which would make them fearful, and would also have a negative impact on the Fu tribe."

Ophelia was overwhelmed by what she heard, so she stepped forward to ease the situation.

"Let's have someone keep an eye on the movements in the fields first. As for how to deal with the rice, we can discuss it slowly." Anyway, the rice has been planted there and it won't run away.

Seeing that he favored Taylor, Zeref felt a little dissatisfied.

But he also knew that there was no emotional basis for their partnership, so he didn't dare express his dissatisfaction openly.

"I'll have the males guarding the Fu tribe keep an eye on the fields. Have them patrol the rice paddies twice a day."

Ophelia was worried that she and Taylor would not be able to take care of the rice fields, but she was embarrassed to directly order the twenty males from the Beast City guarding outside the princess's tribe.

Now that Zeref had offered, it hit home. "Okay, thank you, Zeref."

When Zeref saw Ophelia being so polite to him, a look of loss appeared on his face.

"Ophelia, we are partners, and it is my duty to share your burden."

Ophelia wasn't sure how to respond when Zeref suddenly said something so serious.

However, Zeref did not expect her to answer, so he called them back to the tribe for lunch.

Two days later, the male who had been guarding outside the Fu tribe found Ophelia and came to report.

"Master, we've discovered that the males of the Snow Wolf Clan are secretly hiding next to the rice fields every day to observe how you grow rice."

"Then they return to the Snow Wolf Clan and do the same."

Ophelia nodded. It turned out that they were just copying others. They were quite smart.

Since that's the case, it's easy to handle.

I hope the Snow Wolf Clan is a good student and can achieve a 1:1 restoration.

So that afternoon Ophelia took Taylor and Zeref up the mountain.

Not long after they went up the mountain, the two males discovered that someone was following them. They smelled the scent and recognized that it was a male from the Snow Wolf tribe.

Taylor winked at Ophelia, and Ophelia understood but pretended not to know.

The three of them soon came to a forest. The stones here were different from ordinary stones. They were white and yellow in color, and large pits had been dug out in some places.

Taylor's skillful hands turned into dragon claws to dig stones, and soon he dug a basket of limestone.

Ophelia shook her head and shouted to the two males who were still working hard. "Tyler, Zeref, this is enough."

Taylor wiped his hands and walked back.

He pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Princess, what do you want these stones for?" Ophelia blinked playfully and lowered her voice.

"These stones are good things. The reason our rice seedlings are growing so strong is because of them."

"These stones actually have such an effect? ​​We can't let others know about this."

Taylor had a serious expression on his face as he recited the lines they had prepared in advance.

Ophelia waved her hand dismissively. "Don't worry, no one will know except the three of us."

“And I tell you, using these stones will produce more rice.”

Zeref watched Ophelia and Taylor acting out this scene, his thin lips slightly raised.

What a cunning little fox.

How can you be so cute? I can never love you enough.

After chatting and laughing, the three of them returned to the Fu clan with the limestone.

At the entrance of the Fu tribe, Ophelia said, "It's too late today, Taylor. Let's fertilize the rice plants tomorrow."

"Okay, you've been tired all day today, so have a good rest tonight." Taylor touched Ophelia's head lovingly.

Ophelia smiled sweetly.

The male Snow Wolf who had been following them saw that they had entered the Fu tribe, so he immediately returned to the mountain.

He found limestone, smashed it a few times, and carried a large piece of stone back to the Snow Wolf Tribe.

Everything he did was seen clearly by the beast servant hiding in the dark.

When the male returned to the Snow Wolf Clan with the limestone in his arms, Loki was admiring the rice growing well in the rice fields.

"Ophelia, are you saying these stones can help the rice plants produce more rice?"

Male Cold Hands "Yes, Chief Loki."

"But these are just some stones, how can they have such an effect?" Loki was speechless, always feeling that the story behind this matter was not that simple.

"I don't know either, but our rice is grown according to their method, and it's growing pretty well now."

Loki glanced at the rice fields and felt happy.

"How about this, you go to the Fu tribe tomorrow and watch how they use these stones."

"It's Chief Loki."

The next day, outside the Fu tribe, Ophelia learned from Taylor's hint that the people from the Snow Wolf tribe had arrived.

Then she began her performance.

"Princess, what are you going to do with these stones?"

Ophelia took a stone from her backpack, broke it into pieces, put it into the shower pot, and filled the pot half full of water.

"Just break the stone into pieces like this and add some water."

Taylor understood, and quickly crushed the stones into powder with Zeref.

Ophelia squatted on the ground, but because she squatted too low and was blocked by the rice seedlings, the male of the Snow Wolf Tribe could not see clearly what she was doing.

Ophelia also took advantage of the cover of the rice to secretly replace the powder with fertilizer bought from the system space.

After filling the water, she began to fertilize the rice. While fertilizing, she urged Taylor and Zeref to chisel more stones.

The male Snow Wolf tribe left with peace of mind after seeing Ophelia really sprinkle water on the rice fields.

After returning to the Snow Wolf tribe's rice fields, he imitated Ophelia and ground the stones into powder and added water.

When limestone comes into contact with water, it immediately emits bursts of white smoke. Males always find this phenomenon very strange.

But he didn't think too much about it. He just thought that it was because of the stones that they had the effect of increasing rice production.

Soon, the entire 10 square meter rice field was sprinkled with lime water, and even the rice leaves were covered with a layer of white powder.

 I will be posting a new article soon, so please collect it and read it.
