Chapter 83: The royals are knocking.

Because Mei-Mei was sleeping and she had no desire to wake the young girl up so she asked Muyang to follow her to the bathroom where they could talk privately.

"Where is everyone?" she asked as soon he shut the door.

Your father went bed early with a headache, your mother followed him and your brothers are yet to come back home.

"What about your family?"

"My grandparents are keeping the queen mother and the grand emperor company in our house.

Chi Lian squeezed her eyebrows tight in thought.’ Grand emperor, grand emperor ’ she recited in her mind.

"The grand emperor is the former emperor." Muyang reminded her as if he had read her mind.

"Right." she said. "Hold on," she said after a few seconds of realization, "Why are the retired royals here?"

Shouldn’t they be in the capital city? she thought.

"They came to meet Mei-Mei and ask you for a favor."

Chi Lian could understand why they wanted to meet Mei-Mei, she was Jun Muyang’s daughter and he was related to the royal family which made Mei-Mei a distant relative of theirs. But what about her? What favor did they want from her?

"Do you know what they want?"

Muyang looked very guilty and he scratched the back of his head like a man in trouble.

"I may have mentioned something about your magical pill when the queen mother called me. It was a mistake. She kept saying the grand emperor’s body was falling apart. He has been having seizures and body weakness. Doctors said the stress of being an emperor of such a large empire took a toll on his body." Muyang appeared to be worried when he talked about it.

"So you told them I may have a cure. Muyang, just because I have something once does not mean I will always have it."

His words made her realize that she had to caution everyone that had seen that box of capsules. They could not expect her to always have those pills all the time. What if T4 disappeared one day, where would she get the capsules from?

"I know, it just slipped from my tongue. I promise not to ever say anything about your pills or devices again." he folded his hands and apologized.

He was looking at her with those sad puppy dog eyes. What was she supposed to do, keep making him beg?

"I will give them only two capsules because I cannot take out anymore. Not unless I can get more anyway."

"Thank you." he sighed in relief and hugged her. "They will pay a billion for both pills." he told her.

She tightened the hold around his waist, "Why didn’t you say so earlier?"

He should have started with the that fact. Does this mean she would be a little wealthy woman soon? She would be worth a billion.

What would she use all that money for?

"Host, should I remind you about the agreement we had, you cannot sell anything that the system gives you directly."

"No, that’s , no." she wailed. "Why are you doing this to me T4? Why didn’t you say anything when I gave the old Jun couple two capsules?"

"You gave, you didn’t sell, a significant difference in the two. All attempts to earn money through cheating the system will be dealt with heavily. You cannot sell the capsules but you can study them and try to create your own version."

Chi Lian wilted like an old leaf. All her dreams of becoming an instant billionaire were gone in a few seconds. She didn’t even enjoy the fantasy for a few minutes when the annoying fox interfered.

"So what should I tell the royals?"

"You can give them the capsules for free, and we can earn some points by revealing their presence in the city along with some wild theories about their presence." T4 grinned villainously.

"Muyang, I will give them the capsules for free." she said and cried silently.

Jun Muyang was stunned to see tears coming out of her eyes. Why was she crying like someone who had just lost something valuable.

"Chi-Chi, don’t cry. You don’t have to give them the pills cheaply. If the issue is the money, they said they can pay up to two billion."

Chi Lian’s silent tears turned into a loud wail. Her shoulders were shaking vigorously.

Jun Muyang was confused, did he say something wrong? The greedy little minx liked money, shouldn’t she be celebrating?

Pulling herself out of his embrace once more, she sent him out of the bathroom so that she could shower in seclusion. She needed to mourn the loss of two billion alone.

"You know you can that you can make the same money and more by researching the products and making your own." T4 reminded her annoyingly.

Of course she knew, but research cost money. She needed money to make money. She wanted to put the stupid fox in sleep mode immediately.

"Shut up." she shouted at it.

T4 disappeared to the virtual farm. He was probably seeking solace from Tetra.

Left alone, Chi Lian stepped under the shower and took a cold bath. She needed her mind to concentrate on anything other than two billion. Cold water ought to do the trick she figured.

She reentered the bedroom and found Muyang on the bed reading a children’s story book. She glanced at Mei-Mei and saw that she was still sleeping.

"Why are you reading that?" she asked.

"I just want to familiarize myself with the books she likes. Getting her to sleep is one of the best parts of my day.’

"Hmm, speaking of days, how was yours?" she asked.

He chuckled lightly and answered, "Splendid, it was simply splendid."

"Is it because you received a special package from a special person?" she teased.

"Mmm, I am not sure how special she is. That bad woman packed snacks for other people as well." he pretended to pout.

"That’s because the good woman wants your friends to like her."

Jun Muyang pulled her to his side of the bed and embraced her. "She doesn’t need to worry about my friends liking her, she just needs to worry about me liking her."
