The Great Thief

Chapter 1531: Apology

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

She was still a girl at the end of the day. Water Fairy enjoyed shopping and would always stop to stare at the things that she liked.

However, today, she barely stopped and she didn’t buy anything either.

It seems like all the flashy in=game items did not interest her at all.

Stormwind started raining lightly and her hair became damp.

Lu Li guessed that Water Fairy liked the rain because she was born in Jiangnan. Her name and nickname were both associated with Water.

However, if a light rain turned into a downpour then nobody would like that.

It rains in Dawn as well to make it seem more realistic.

“It’s raining, let’s go somewhere else,” Lu Li suggested as he pulled her over.

She did not hesitate at all and followed closely behind him. The flowers and vines outside the store created the perfect cover for them.

The owner must have logged off because the flower store wasn’t open. It was very quiet here.

No one would come here to avoid the rain because there wasn’t much space and there wasn’t anything to do.

“I have a question for you,” Lu Li said.

“What?”

“If someone made you mad, what would they have to do for you to forgive him?”

“I’m not mad,” Water Fairy denied.

When she was not smiling, Water Fairy has a very cold and emotionless resting face. However, when she smiled, it was more beautiful than anything in the world. Even the Stormwind rain could not mask her beauty. Lu Li wanted to make her happy all the time and did not ever want to see the smile leave her face.

“Hypothetically?”

“Hypothetically, they just have to apologize.” Water Fairy was slightly annoyed at how sly Lu Li was.

At first, she felt a little angry, but rather than anger, she realized she was more sad and disappointed because Lu Li wanted her to give up the item, which showed that he didn’t really understand her.

An emperor used to light up the smoke signal to gather up the allied forces as a prank to please his wife. The wife laughed at the allied kings and nobles. They did this a few more times until they stopped coming. Then one day when the Mongolians invaded, no one came to their rescue and the king was killed.

Water Fairy obviously did not want Lu Li to be like the emperor. However, the point of this story was that other people were willing to give away their kingdom to please their loved ones. So why couldn’t Lu Li give up this piece of equipment for her?

As for the reason for Mu Qiu to change jobs, it was important for him so Lu Li and the other guys understood. However, Water Fairy could not understand because she was a girl. Naturally, male and females had different thinking and they never cared about the reasoning.

“I’m sorry. Next time something drops that you can use, I’ll give it to you,” Lu Li guaranteed.

He sounded sincere, not as if he just wanted to solve the problem.

“You can actually private message me. Why do you have to be so blunt?”

When Lu Li thought about it, part of the reason she was mad was because she lost face. She conceded in front of all her guild mates.

“I.. I didn’t think we needed to hide anything,” Lu Li said.

“Ah?” Water Fairy didn’t think Lu Li would say something like this. She thoguht that a lot of men had an authority complex where they need to be the leader or the one in control of the relationship. She suspected that Lu Li probably just wanted to show off his authority over the leader of Drizzle Court and Peerless City.

This was why she was so upset and had walked around Stormwind for so long without realizing.

“Okay, I won’t be mad anymore.” Water Fairy was a very truthful girl, so when she was no longer feeling upset, she would say so.

“Thank you for not being angry anymore.”

Lu Li held onto her hands tightly and didn’t want to let go.

“Someone’s looking in our direction,” Water Fairy reminded him.

“I don’t care,” Lu Li said shamelessly. He didn’t want to push it too far and just held her hands tightly.

The two of them stood underneath the drizzling Stormwind rain while holding hands together, almost like a scene in a painting.

The second day, Lu Li did not find Water Fairy and did not continue with Solomon’s quest because another Stronghold War was about to begin.

There weren’t any new maps again. At this stage, there would probably only be a new map introuced every 1 to 3 months. The frequency of Stronghold Wars would decrease as well because it was too tiring to do this every week.

The auction was this morning and in the afternoon was the battle.

No matter how rundown the two pieces of land that Lu Li had were, everyone still wanted them.

They had remained in control after countless battles. Drizzle Court and Peerless City was doing much better. Glory Capital was also performing well because of their seemingly unlimited funds, while Blood Red War Flag and the Wings of Dawn were being ganged up on.

Drizzle Court’s Stronghold was under attack by Peerless City.

This meant that Water Fairy had won the auction for her own land. Since she was so rich, unless the other clubs kept raising the money, that land of hers would be safe forever.

Wings of Dawn won Tanaris which was actually an even more rundown Stronghold. Nevertheless, a Stronghold was a Stronghold. However, they wouldn’t be sitting on it for too long before the Gangnam Royals took it from them.

The Gangnam Royals seemed to have run out of funds so they decided to challenge the weaker Tanaris.

They had lost two major players, but hired a number of mercenaries.

Apparently, they had also upgraded their equipment a lot and conducted a lot of training.

Blood Red War Flag was under attack by Peerless City, which meant that Peerless City had to attack them in addition to Drizzle Court.

However, it was obvious that the battle between Drizzle Court and Peerless City would not showcase any of the key players.
