Chapter 230: Moving and Staying
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Uncle Meng, you don’t have to feel any psychological pressure. The Tiger Base also needs people to guard it. After all, the wasteland and orchards that we have cultivated need people to look after them. We have expended so much effort to build this place, so how can we simply abandon it?”
When Meng Zi heard her say this, he let out a deep sigh. “What you say is true, Madam Su.”
Whether to stay or leave, or whether to go home and make a decision for himself, Su Ying would never force anyone to do anything against his wishes.
After Su Ying finished explaining the matter, Meng Zi and the others left.
Those who were willing to go to the Sky Alpha City could make preparations now.
After the people left, Su Ying called Aunt Zhao and the others over and told them about moving house.
She had given the others the right to choose, but Aunt Zhao and the others had to follow her.
“Mistress, don’t worry. We’ll pack up the things here in the next few days and go there with you at that juncture, Mistress.” After Su Ying finished speaking, no one had any objections.
It was the right response that they have no objections. After all, they were able to settle down safely in the northern wilderness because of Su Ying. They couldn’t just abandon her after settling down.
They actually had quite a lot of things. Tian Mu couldn’t bear to throw away the furniture and wanted to bring them along. Su Ying didn’t stop him either.
“Mother, where are we going?” The older toddler Ji and the younger toddler Ling only heard Aunt Zhao say that they were moving house, but they didn’t know where they were going.
“Going to a better place. Are you two willing to?”
“Mother, are you going?”
Su Ying nodded. “Of course, 1 am going.”
“If Mother goes, Ling will go too. Big Brother will go too. Father will go too.” Anyway, as long as that place had Mother, they had to be there too.
“Yes. I want to be with Ling, Mother, and Father.”
Su Ying held their little hands and led them back into the house. “Mm-hmm. Well be together. You two take a look to see what you need to bring and pack them in a small bundle. When the time comes, you two can bring it along with you.”
“Alright.”
The two little fellows ran off happily to pack their things.
Su Ying also began to pack up the things in the room. Actually, she really didn’t have much to pack apart from a few clothes. The important things had all been put into her interspatial store previously.
After packing up all her belongings, Su Ying still decided to slip into her interspatial store when she had the chance.
She was still curious about Wei Ji.
Wei Ji lay silently in the interspatial store as if she was dead.
Su Ying walked up to her and lifted her up from the ground, but she remained motionless as if she had no bones, allowing Su Ying to carry her without any intention of resisting.
“Don’t play dead. 1 know you’re alive and well.”
Wei Ji was wearing a helmet and couldn’t see anything, but Su Ying seemed to hear her strange laughter.
“Why didn’t you kill me?”
“I’m a kind person. Those puppets that obeyed you in the past have already addressed me as ‘Empress’ yesterday. You still didn’t manage to keep what you snatched.”
The effect of this sentence was akin to stepping on Wei Ji’s tail. She struggled in agitation suddenly. “Bitch, let me go! You bitch!”
Su Ying grabbed her neck with one hand and lifted her up.
Wei Ji panted heavily as she struggled. “You snatched it too. You won’t be able to keep it either!”
Su Ying noticed that there was a black mark on her neck as she struggled. She had seen this mark on the black-robed men before, which meant that this was the insignia that would be left on all the black-robed men. It was a symbol of their status.
Su Ying seemed to understand something suddenly. “You’re a black-robed slave.”
Wei Ji’s body stiffened and she stopped struggling at once. However, very soon, she roared in fury, “I’m the Empress! The Empress!”
“You were a black slave brought back by the previous empress, but you killed your way back to become the empress. You are also a powerful character.”
Wei Ji asked in a hoarse voice, “What right does she have to become the Empress and enslave me? She doesn’t have the qualifications! So 1 killed her and took her place. What’s wrong with that?”
“No wonder I saw that almost all the people in the training camp were boys. You’re afraid that another version of you from back then would appear.”
“Who are you? Who exactly are you?”
No matter how many times Wei Ji asked, she did not get any answers anymore.
Su Ying tossed her aside and left the interspatial store. Her curiosity had been satisfied, so there was no need for Wei Ji to live anymore. It wouldn’t be too late for her to finish Wei Ji off after she packed up and left the Tiger Base.
Su Ying gave everyone three days to pack up. Those who were willing to leave with her were to gather outside the main gate three days later. At that time, they would set off for the Sky Alpha City together.
Those who could not bear to leave could continue to stay in the Tiger Base. She would make the arrangements for them when the time came.
Three days later, Meng Zi and Tian Niu were the first to come looking for Su Ying. They decided to stay behind with the people from the North District.
Unlike Tiger Might and the others, they had long taken root in this place. There were their farmlands and farmhouses here. It was really difficult for them to leave everything behind, so they decided to stay.
Su Ying wasn’t surprised by this answer. “Alright. Then I’ll leave the Tiger Base to Uncle Meng for the time being. Uncle Meng, you will protect the previously developed wasteland, the fish ponds, and the fruit orchard.”
“Don’t worry, Madam Su, I’ll definitely get people to take good care of them,” Meng Zi said solemnly.
“Mm-hmm. The rest of you who want to follow me, we are setting off now.”
Su Ying let the tiger lead the way while she sat in the carriage with the children.
Although the weather was very cold, everyone did not feel tired at all. They felt more excited than tired and were looking forward to a new life.
They had many people on their team. They only reached the outside of the Sky Alpha City when the sky was almost dark.
Everyone raised their head to look in wonder at the city wall that towered into the clouds. No words could describe the shock in their hearts. They had been in the northern wilderness for so long, but they had never seen such a place.
The tiger went to the base of the wall and roared, and the entrance in the wall opened.
Su Ying hadn’t had the time to study this gate. She felt that this thing was definitely voice-activated.
After Su Ying led everyone in, the wild beasts rushed over when they heard the noise, but they were all chased away by the tiger’s roar.
Everyone came to the side of the tunnel. There was a bigger door here that people could pass through, but it was usually not open.
The black-robed men guarding the tunnel saw Su Ying and immediately opened the door to let them through.
“This place does look more secure than the Tiger Base.”
“That’s right. Look at this tall and thick wall. If we don’t open the gate, who can possibly come in?”
“You’re right.”
After entering Sky Alpha City, everyone looked around curiously and began to discuss excitedly. The Sky Alpha City was even more magnificent than they had imagined.
Over the past three days, Xiao Jin had already sorted out most of the people and matters here. After Su Ying and the others arrived, he told the black-robed men to bring the others to the residential area.
When Sky Alpha City was first built, the people in the city were all normal people. It was only after the first empress discovered that there were signs of a potential rebellion that she trained people into puppets. Therefore, there were still a large number of residential houses in the city, but they were located in another area far away from the palace..
