Chapter 57 Changes
Ten minutes ago.

Ans woke up from the military dungeon and immediately ordered people to seal off the military headquarters, then reported to Luka.

"Colonel, I'm sorry. I was too careless. He said he would tell me the whereabouts of the cub, and said if I didn't find it, the cub would starve to death. I thought he had no mental strength because he was wearing electronic handcuffs, so I fell into his trap. When I woke up, he had already escaped."

Luka knew that Ans was not such a careless person at all. He fell into Zongfang's trap because Zongfang was willing to provide the whereabouts of the cub. After all, he had interrogated him three times and got nothing. Ans was actually thinking about him.

He gave Ans some instructions and planned to return to the military headquarters immediately, but stopped when he walked out the door.

Zong Fang was cunning, clever, and paranoid. If he really escaped, Luka thought he would definitely find Qiao Sui Sui again. So he quickly returned to the small building and told Liberi to come as soon as possible. In this way, at least one person could be by her side, so that Zong Fang would not have the opportunity to attack.

Luka decided to wait for Liberi to arrive before returning to the military headquarters to investigate.

After Qiao Susu heard him briefly describe the whole process, her good mood was instantly wiped out.

"Sui Sui." Luka hesitated, looking at her with eyes full of worry and guilt. "Before I catch Zong Fang, would you consider returning to the Imperial Court to live?"

Qiao Suisui was startled, and immediately guessed that Liberi must have reached some kind of consensus with Luka, but she could understand it after thinking about it carefully. Even if the military was stationed here, they could not defeat an SSS-level male, not to mention that Zongfang always played by unconventional means. Luka could not always be with her, not to mention Liberi. The new regime had just been established, and he was needed to make decisions in all aspects. Letting her return to the imperial court at this time was indeed the best choice.

She lowered her eyes and thought, and Luka came forward and hugged her.

"I know you don't like being restrained. I promise you that I will catch Zongfang, find our cub, and prevent you from being threatened by Zongfang again."

"Even if it's not Zong Fang, there will be someone else." Qiao Sui Sui buried her face in his chest, her voice muffled. "I can go to the Imperial Court, but it will take some time."

"Really?"

Seeing that she was not opposed, Luka breathed a sigh of relief.

Qiao Suisui nodded.

As a modern woman, the ideological education she received told her that it was undoubtedly sad that her value could only be measured by her fertility. But she had to live. She didn't want to be trapped in one place, even if that place was called protection. So after coming to this world, even though she didn't want to have children at first, she still actively adapted and made changes, because she firmly believed that everything could be created. The meaning of having children for her was to become stronger, nothing more, which was why she didn't even give these babies names, because she didn't want to add more meaning.

The inn's business was originally on track, and she was happy that she finally had a means of making a living. In addition, now that she had talent and mental strength, low-level orcs could not hurt her. However, Zongfang's escape was like a basin of cold water, waking her up.

She is not strong enough.

Because I am not strong enough, I am controlled by others and have no choice.

Luka was comforting her softly at this time, and did not notice the firm and calm light flashing in Qiao Susu's eyes.

Libery arrived with a team of royal private guards. Outside the inconspicuous two-story building, there were not only military personnel but also royal guards. It seemed as if they were telling others: Come and see, there are treasures here.

But neither Liberi nor Luka cared about that because her safety came first.

"I want to wait until this group of tenants settles in before leaving," she said. Liberi tried to persuade her to leave now, but Luka stopped her.

"Okay, get ready, we can leave anytime."

Luka understood her, so he wanted to give her the maximum freedom. Liberi frowned, thinking that doing so was simply a waste of time, but when he saw Qiao Suisui's smile, he couldn't say anything. He sighed and thought: Just this once, as long as she is happy.

Luka drove the flying ship back to the military headquarters. Liberi had to attend a meeting. Before going upstairs, he pinched her face and said he would accompany her later. Qiao Suisui stayed in the living room on the first floor and took out the robot butler rewarded by the system from the storage compartment.

A round, white robot appeared before my eyes. It had no human body, but more like a bucket. Its head was a circle of black electronic screen, and its eyes were a series of pixel graphics. In standby mode, they were two vertical lines, and when it was happy, they would become two curved lines. Its lower body was an open cabinet, which seemed to have a large capacity and could hold a large number of barrels of water.

"Master, I am number 6867, what are your instructions?"

Qiao Suisui found it interesting and asked, "What can you do?"

"I can deliver items, clean, provide conversation services, and connect directly to your optical computer. You can see everything I see through my camera. (_)"

"6867, can you help me look after the house?"

"Of course, I have an electric shock mode. If I encounter an illegal intruder, I will immediately sound the alarm and attack, but my attack power is low. (_)"

That's enough. Qiao Suisui touched 6867's head and said with satisfaction: "Thank you for your hard work. I will be away for a while. Please help me look after the house. If the guests need anything, please try to satisfy them."

"Leave it to me (_)"

6867 quickly got into work mode. It not only cleaned each room efficiently, but also prepared nutrient solution for the two doctors.

Qiao Susu felt that this reward was a stroke of genius. She then studied the bamboo building and overpass given to her by the system and discovered that these two things could be combined together. The bamboo building could be placed next to the two-story building, and then the overpass could be used to connect the small building and the bamboo building, thus completing the expansion.

Now her hotel can only rent out four rooms, but with the bamboo house, she can rent out eight more rooms.

She was lying on the window with great interest, watching the location. If she wanted to move the bamboo house out of the storage compartment, she had to clear the weeds and vegetation around the small building.

She could explain the sudden taking out of a robot by saying she bought it on Starnet. Although Oslan had no habit of using robots, the Federation Headquarters already had a robot factory as an assembly line, so she could cover it up. But if she suddenly took out a building, anyone would be suspicious.
Qiao Susu was still thinking about it when the doorbell suddenly rang.

6867 was very considerate enough to press the video doorbell and ask who the visitor was, showing a strong sense of security.

When Qiao Susu walked over, she heard a familiar voice coming from the video doorbell.

"Hello, we have booked a room here."
