Chương 801: 801 Why would l be jealous?

"Mr Liam, your hands must be paining after working so hard." The fairy opened her mouth and sweetly spoke.

Hmmm? Liam's brow raised in shock as his lips twitched a couple of times, feeling the soft mounds under his grasp. The thin silvery white dress the fairy was wearing did little to hide what was underneath.

Why am I getting this special treatment? He thought to himself as he tried to observe his surroundings. Clearly, something like this was not usual as the other fairies also remained silent, looking down and blushing a little.

Okay? Liam then received another notification, the one that he was actually hoping for.

<Ding. You are now friendly with the Shop 2341678797> <Ding. You are able to access the F-Rank shop quests> Liam grinned. He was indeed correct. He had a theory that if he continued submitting these low-level quests, then eventually, higher-level quests would open up for him.

He almost knew that his theory was correct when the quests were actually starting to run out, and he had just now submitted the last quest.

But with this notification, everything was 100% confirmed!

Liam wanted to quickly open the new quest board and take a look at what the next level entailed, but his mind was sort of stuck at the place where his hand was!

Tilia was still holding his hand close to her chest!

What was going on here?

"Ahem." Liam coughed as he wiggled his hand free, in the process feeling more of the softness.

"It's nothing much. It's not my effort alone. I had many willing helpers. You could call it my guild's team effort." He smiled.

"Tee Hee. So humble, Mr Liam." Tilia batted her eyelashes and beamed brightly as if nothing had happened at all.

She didn't mind me feeling her up? Liam could not understand what was going on. Perhaps this fairy was trying to manipulate him emotionally?

He was not sure if she was attempting some sort of mental attack, but after being with Shen Yue for so long, it definitely did not have any effect on him. He did not feel any particular attraction towards the fairy.

"Thank you for personally helping me, Miss Tilia. I would like to take a look at the next available quests now." Liam politely said.

The fairy bowed and waved her hand, signalling for him to continue.

"Please go ahead, Mr Liam. I will be waiting for you right here. Tee hee."

Em. Liam ignored the naughty fairy and focussed on his task at hand. If the other party actually wanted to use him, he did not mind it. After all, only then would he be able to use her.

So, for now, he continued to encourage her, albeit not so open that it would give away his intentions.

"Let's see what these new quests are going to give me."

He put away all the other thoughts and opened the new quest board with expectations. In his last life, he had been stuck at this stage forever, and now he was finally going to move forward.

"Please be something good. Please be something good."

The blue-coloured quest screen flashed in front of him, and immediately he revealed a shocked expression. Bingo! He was correct all along!

Meanwhile, a little distance away from where Liam was staring at his system interface, a group of people were standing and watching him with awe.

"Ba ha ha ha! Big bro is really awesome! We are just seeing fairies for the first time, and he already has a fairy girlfriend." Rey grinned with visible worship in his eyes.

"What the heck are you talking about?" Standing next to him, Alex did not look as pleased.

"Are you blind, or are you just pretending not to see? Clearly, that woman is just trying to trap him."

"Meh. Trap or not, bro is still going to get lucky." Rey grinned, wiggling his eyes at Shin Soo. The tank also seemed equally amazed as he nodded in agreement.

Seeing the two men act like total idiots, Alex sighed in exasperation.

"I think you both left your brains at the coat check." She grumbled.

"And I think you are just jealous." Rey stuck his tongue out.

Alex immediately flared up.

"What rubbish are you blabbering? Why would I be jealous?"

"Don't lie, sis. It is so painfully obvious. It's written all over your face."

"Shut up. What do you know?"

"Ba ha ha."

Alex sighed and then looked at him seriously all of a sudden.

"I am not kidding. Don't make jokes like this anymore. I am telling you seriously that I am not interested in Liam."

Huh? Rey stopped laughing.

"I am not saying that he is bad or anything. He is indeed very inspiring and trustworthy, and I am glad that he is on our side, trying to help us, but as an individual, I am really not interested in him that way."

"Why? What is wrong with my bro?" Rey scowled.

"If you really think like that, then as your brother, I have to break it to you. Your taste in men is very bad."

Alex scoffed.

"It's not about taste. It's just that I don't think Liam is capable of loving anyone. Maybe his sister, but I think that's about it. As for others…"

Her gaze wandered to the person who was still intently looking at the blue screen in front of him.

"I think that he just looks at them as tools to achieve his means. He keeps the good ones by his side and throws out the bad ones. He is too cunning, too manipulative to love someone else."

"Sis! Come on! That's a bit harsh!" Rey frowned.

"I am not saying he is in the wrong here. I think his circumstances were pretty much to blame. Perhaps because of his past and how the world is right now, he is like this."

"I mean, aren't we all like this in one way or the other? We are also relying on him and using him in a way. The fairy would also be no exception. She would also be used by him."

"All I am saying is, I don't think he could really fall in love with anyone at the moment. For that matter, I don't think you or I could also experience anything like that. The world is like that."

Rey shook his head.

"You are still lying to yourself. If you really think that bro is not capable of loving anyone, then what about Mia? Aren't you with him right now, counting on him to rescue her?"

Before Alex could say anything, he immediately added, "Yes. Yes. I know you are also trying your best, but deep down, you know that bro is on a different level when compared to us."

"If anyone is going to clash with those divine temple assholes and rescue Mia, then it is going to be Liam. You can't deny that. I know, just like me, you are also counting on him to do that, and bro also knows that."

"If he really did not care about us and only thinks of us as tools, why would he need to take such a big risk? Mia is indeed very gifted, like you said, a very useful tool, but no one would go to such lengths just for a tool."

Alex swallowed as she listened to her brother in silence. She opened her mouth a couple of times, but she couldn't bring out any words to refute him. She only gazed at that person from a distance.

On the side, Rey's grin widened even more.

"As I said, bro is awesome." He shrugged with a smug smile.

Alex's lips twitched as her hands immediately flew to her brother's thick head. Pa! A slap resounded in the shop the next second.

"Sis!" Rey became aggrieved. However, he didn't say anything else, watching the vein on his sister's forehead throb.

"If you open your mouth again, I will kill you myself." Alex threatened him.

"Who is going to kill who?" Suddenly, another voice sounded near them. Liam was standing right in front of them.

"You guys seem very lively. What are you talking about?"

Seeing him, the two siblings jumped up like cats that got electrocuted, hair standing on their backs. Shin Soo revealed an awkward smile.

Hmmm? Liam saw the brother and sister blushing bright red and sensed that he had intruded into some sort of weird conversation. What were they talking about? Now he was curious. Could it be something about him?

Rey was the first to recover as he laughed uncomfortably and ruffled his hair.

"Bro, we were just talking about that fairy. Ha ha ha. By the way, what happened? Were you able to find any new information as you hoped?"

Liam could see that he was changing the topic purposefully, but he did not care about it. After all, he had some exciting news to share.

"Yes. In fact, I did." Liam grinned.
