Chapter 149: A pitiful soul

While the guard was menacingly throwing his baton around, Chi Lian smiled because she could see a convoy of four military vehicles making its way to the gate. She knew retribution had come. She would surely milk this little episode for some benefits.

"What are you smiling about?" the guard asked her sternly.

"I am laughing at you; you are a pitiful soul who allowed yourself to be used instead of doing your job. Odds are you are going to be punished heavily within the next one minute."

"You_" his eyes bulged in anger.

"You should look behind you." She nodded her head at the gate and waved at Minister Su who was standing outside his vehicle.

A few soldiers opened the gate widely and the he stepped out. He approached the Chi family, stopping before Chi Lian specifically and greeted her with a smile before asking.

"Miss Chi, what’s going on? Why are you out here? We have been waiting for over forty minutes."

Like a kid tattle telling on another, she pointed at the soldier and said, "Ask him. Not only did he reject the documents you gave me, he also broke my phone, insulted my family and threatened us with physical violence. Minister Su, the capital is really a scary place." She said the word scary pretentiously as if she was deathly afraid. "Even the guards here are very powerful, you have no idea how frightened I am right now." she hid her head behind Chi Wei’s shoulder and held on to his arm like a frightened little girl while smiling insidiously.

Chi Wei for his part started rubbing her head and comforting her as one would a scared child.

Minister Su frowned angrily and his manic gaze moved to the trembling soldier. "You saw official state documents with my stamp and dared to ignore them."

"S...si....sir." The soldier stammered, "It was a mistake."

"A mistake." Minister Su repeated gravely.

"Ye.....yes....I_"

"Men." Minister Su called his soldiers sternly and they gathered close. "Arrest him." He commanded.

"Wait, I am sorry, wait, I can explain." The soldier shouted as he was dragged away in handcuffs but it was too late to explain.

Chi Lian naughtily waved goodbye to the soldier and even childishly stuck her tongue out at him.

"Minister Su," she called him in that voice which she used when she wanted something from him.

"We will compensate your phone." He cut her off before she could make any excessive demands.

"Thank you, now as I was saying, _"

"Hurry up, let’s go, let’s go." He cut her off again and hurriedly entered his vehicle. He escaped her as if he was escaping a hound of hell.

"Hi-hi-hi, there is no escaping me. I have to be compensated for emotional damages." She said determinedly.

Swiftly, they were driven through all three check points without being stopped or checked straight to the western part of the Emperors courts. They passed lush gardens, exotic flowers, beautiful pavilions, lavish fish ponds. The residence was like a setting out of a wealthy beautiful ancient dynasty.

"Wow." She could not help but exclaim. It was no wonder that some people who lived in this place behaved arrogantly. Who would not want to brag if their family lived in a heavenly atmosphere like this.

The large ancient residences were mixed in with matching modernized glass, wood and marble buildings. The cars sped past a horse track and a golf course. It was like a city of its own within the city.

"Wow!" she exclaimed again.

"Host, my world is more impressive than this, we have buildings hanging in the skies and flying cars. How can such small things here excite you?"

"All the plant and animal life in your world was destroyed because you were too greedy for development, I would stop bragging about its amazingness if I were you." She retorted.

"Hmph." T4 pouted unhappily.

They reached their destination and the cars stopped.

"Is this it?" she asked in confusion as she stepped out of the car. The place they were in was a vast piece of land which was largely covered by grass and mostly unoccupied. No beautiful gardens or flowers and ponds. There were a few mansions but each was largely distanced from the other.

"We have arrived." Minister Su smiled cunningly.

"No, absolutely not. How can you bring us to this isolated place after all the beautiful mansions we have passed? You lied to me, this is, this," she struggled to find the right words and came up with "Not it."

"What’s wrong with it?" the minister asked obliviously. "It would cost you up to six hundred million to purchase such a residence with your own money. The empire is giving it to you for free and all you have to do is give us a few of your robots and their software."

"Minister Su, are you my friend or foe?" she asked in a heartbroken voice.

"I prefer to think of myself as your strategic partner." Minister Su shrugged. "I don’t understand why you are acting like this." He looked at the mansion behind them and smiled, "It’s a really good house."

He held his thumbs up at her.

"I want one of those beautiful houses." She whined. How could he take her to a buffet and say she could not only eat rice and no meat. After seeing all those exquisite houses, how could he betray her like this?

She thought she would be the one cheating the minister today but it turns out he had already outwitted her.

"Chi-Chi, come and see this." Her mother called her from where she was standing with the rest of the family in the grass.

She dragged herself over to them unwillingly. "What?" she asked sadly.

"See." Her mother pointed to the view below.

"Wow!" she exclaimed, "There is a lake here."

"Yes, isn’t it beautiful? I think we should accept the house and live here. The air is fresh, there is less noise and the environment is relaxing. We can raise a few more animals for Mei-Mei to play with." Mama Chi planned the scenario excitedly.

"Host, you can plant some of the seeds from virtual farm here so that we see how much output can be realized in this world and compare it with what has been achieved on my world so far. " T4 also suggested with excitement. "You won’t have to hide the source of your special tasty food anymore if you plant it yourself."

"I have no desire to farm T4."

"Just bring out the seeds and hire a few people to do the hard work, then sit back and enjoy the wealth all the residents here bring when they want a taste."
