Outside the single stone house of the Fuzu Tribe, several young females were chattering, covering their mouths and snickering at the young couple in front of them.
"Laxus, Ali isn't sick. She's just blushing."
"Yeah, Laxus! When are you going to become mates with our Ali?" the young females chimed in one after another.
Their baffling words left Laxus completely confused.
Ali's cheeks were red as she stole glances at Laxus, a hint of expectation bubbling in her heart. But Laxus just scratched his head, looking bewildered. "Why would I become mates with Ali?"
Hearing him say this, Ali's pounding heart instantly sank.
"Ah? If you don't want to become mates with Ali, then why do you take such good care of her?"
Laxus blinked in confusion. "She hurt her foot because of me. Isn't it only right that I take care of her?"
At his explanation, the blush drained from Ali's cheeks, leaving her face deathly pale.
