194 Iron Lily.
With just one phrase, ‘The change is me.’ Cara grasped the attention of the citizen of the empire. She said, “You all have somehow suffered under the hand of corrupt officials. The sufferings you all had were something that I can relate to. I was tagged as a sin by the former emperor. Tch, the culture of Arcadia used to condemn the sin more than the sinner. That is the change. Sinners around the empire, hear it well, if your dirty deed comes to light, then I will gift you the eternal darkness.
You may look at me and think what can a little girl do to you, but I promise you, even if you are hiding in the remotest corner of the empire, your due punishment will reach you. Do not worry, I will not go easy on you, and those who do good, seek change, you are all welcome to support me. Hump if without you all I can turn the face of the government, then think what I can do if you were all together.
A friend of mine told me that actions speak louder than words. Here is a little gift for you all.”
The next moment, the people all around the empire were shown the looped video of the corrupt officials apprehended and as the time passed the apprehensions turned into killings, and even killing of whole families. The citizens were shocked. They did not expect this cute-looking girl to use such cruel methods.
They were shivering in their boots and those who were actually committing something not morally correct were hesitating for the first time. The video stopped and Cara appeared again, she said, “After this broadcast ends, the people selected by a smart algorithm will receive a mail notification, if you are interested, you may join up the recently vacant official positions, however, know this, if you did not complete your duties, then I will complete mine. This video was just a sample.
Another thing you need to understand is that women will no longer be oppressed, here am I, a woman just like you. If any bastard dares to use his force, money, status, or anything to violate you in any manner, even if it is just forcing you to vacate the seat on a bus, come to me, and I will have his head bowed in front of you.
However, make no mistake, if you could not prove that a man was not at fault, I will have you tied in a square and lash your tender skin ten times. I am a woman but I am not dumb. Well, that’s about it for now, I will see you all later. Have fun and say farewell to your old life.”
The broadcast ended, and Shi Lang clapped his hands, he said, “Good job, now, time to implement the ideas you discussed in the spaceship.”
Cara nodded and said, “I have commanded the system to send out the mails and a lot of people have already responded, they are being interviewed by the system. Also, tell me something, why do you seem to be leaner?”
Shi Lang nodded and said, “That is because my muscles are now tougher and more condensed, I might weigh more than I did in the past. Let that be, I give you a month, then your training begins.”
Cara tilted her head and asked, “What training?”
“You are a flower, you need armor to stand strong and face the world. For that armor, you need training.”, said Shi Lang.
Cara chuckled and nodded, she said, “As long as I can survive that training, I will not mind what you do. Okay, I have a lot of work to do. What about you?”
Shi Lang said, “I will train Quinn and Instructor Rosa. So you can tell me which one do you need on priority bases.”
Cara looked at the two ladies and said, “I pick Instructor Rosa, she is smart and beautiful. You can that the chick.”
Quinn narrowed her eyes and said, “Brat, you need some spanking.”
Cara snorted and said, “You dare to bully me? Be careful I have my advisor spank you red.”
Quinn was about to reply when Shi Lang turned his head to her and made her freeze. She could tell that the eyes of the person inside the mask were not very kind and that she will get into trouble if she dared to utter any more profanities.
Shi Lang said, “Come along with me.”
Quinn nodded and after bowing to the people inside the camp moved outside. Shi Lang bought her to an isolated camp and they began. He helped Quinn and came to check on Amelia, the girl was playing with a dagger in her hand.
Amelia asked, “What have you been doing?”
Shi Lang explained to her what he was doing and Amelia was amused that Cara managed to come up with such a speech. Shi Lang shook his head and said, “It was Zysha, she must have helped her.”
Amelia nodded and said, “Yes, that is more plausible.”
Shi Lang suddenly said, “I will have Zysha learn this too, and then she can stay beside Cara here if she wants to. Then Cara will have someone to protect her.”
The girl said, “Anything you want Lang.”
Shi Lang smiled and kissed her. Amelia also did not retreat and they both kissed each other with great passion. the camp was then echoing with moans and grunts. The two people did not make it home but they made sure to cover all the bases.
Amelia would not have been triggered but the spirit energy inside her still contained a slight trace of the aphrodisiac, so she could not stop herself, and Shi Lang made sure to calm her down before things got out of control.
When Shi Lang came out he was refreshed and he made his way to the camp where Cara and Instructor Rosa were working. Things were progressing smoothly, after a week, Quinn stepped into the path of a cultivator.
Then a week later Instructor Rosa. She found that her ability has increased in level, and to the point where she could almost see the future of her calculations.
General Rui was shocked by the things these two ladies did, they were like administration systems. They could come up with solutions for almost anything happening in the empire. The people were virtually doubting their life with the efficiency they were displaying. The targets set for one month were achieved in a week. The progress of the new plans was too fast.
The citizens, however, were not complaining at all. After all, during the time of remodeling, a lot of people who tried to cause trouble were served well by the policing services. Cara was sure about what she wanted the empire to be like. She did not have any hesitations in her mind.
General Rui was having a hard time to think how to stand up against this girl. She was, after all, winning the hearts of the people. The men who were trying to undermine her were being taught a good lesson on a repeated basis. She would hunt down every single criminal and issue a justified treatment.
For example, if someone steals, she will have them flogged ten times to hundred times. The criminals were scared, they were filled with bruises and broken bones. Another thing that she did was to open more schools. She made it clear that if the machines were used to stop the manual labor, society will only germinate wretches who do not appreciate anything.
General Rui wanted to say no, but as a man in the uniform, he knew the value of self-discipline and hard work. The army also had a hard time softening these hooligans after they join. They have no sense of what authority and superiors means. If the pressure on the army could be decreased, then General Rui would even offer to link Cara’s shoes clean.
A month passed and most of the ideas she wanted were already implemented and now it was time for Shi Lang to train her. He was going to make her a cultivator and not just any cultivator but a strong woman, who could walk the war fields with her head held high, whether it was the court or the battlefield.
Shi Lang decided to make Cara, his first student. The girl will help him grow even stronger in the future. At this moment, the two people were sitting at the top of the palace’s highest watch tower and they were meditating. Cara could sense the current flowing through her body and she felt something pouring out of her pores.
She wanted to open her eyes and see what was happening, but she heard a stern voice, “Focus.”
Cara already had a bump on her forehead. Shi Lang would flick his finger on it whenever she would feel distracted. After the session was done, a maid ran over and said, “Your excellency, there is a mail that you would like to see.”
Cara was confused, she operated her communicator, and when she finished reading the mail her face bloomed with a big smile. She said, “Guess what name the crowd has given me?”
Shi Lang shrugged his shoulder, and the girl with a pouty face said, “Iron Lily.”
