Seeing that the scene was gradually becoming chaotic, our majordomo, Miss Babla, raised her eyebrows and glared at him with her almond-shaped eyes. She brought out her demeanor as a majordomo of the inner palace and berated,
"What are you all making a fuss about? This is unbecoming. If you hadn't eaten so many desserts without restraint, our entire Lord's Manor wouldn't have fallen into such a financial crisis.”
As the chief steward in charge of the entire liege's manor's finances, her voice was indeed full of dignity. The succubi who had just started a commotion were instantly suppressed by her words. They lowered their heads and sat there silently, continuing to express their protest in a speechless manner.
At this moment, when Lord Dolores saw that the entire place had fallen into such a heavy silence, she took the initiative to step forward and comfort her subordinates in order to put their hearts at ease.
"Don't worry too much. We're all good sisters. How can I see everyone continue to eat those disgusting things?，Don't worry! In the future, everyone would definitely be able to eat these seasoned dishes and delicious desserts every meal.
Although our city lord's mansion is facing financial difficulties, as long as we can persist for a few more months and reap some benefits from those seasonings, we can use them to open restaurants in other cities and make a fortune.
At that time, even if it's those expensive desserts, we'll have enough money to eat as much as we want!”
"Sob, sob, sob…Lady Dolores, you're so nice!”
"Lady Delorise is really grateful to you!”
"Lord Delotis is really good to us. I will definitely do my best for Lord Delotis.”
…………
After hearing Dolores 'promise and knowing that their food and snacks were finally safe, the succubi all cried bitterly and were deeply grateful. They patted their rippling chests to express their loyalty to Dolores.
Li Xiaotian could not help but be dumbstruck and speechless at the sight of the surging waves and the spectacular scene. Even though he thought that he had seen enough in the past few months, he could not help but feel his mouth go dry. He couldn't help but admire Delorise's way of controlling people.
In order to win over the hearts of the people, she had spent so much money, and through Barbara, she had told everyone about her sacrifices. This way, no matter how evil these succubi were, no matter how disloyal they were, when the enemy bribed them, they would carefully consider whether they would be treated as well as Dolores if they worked under them.
"In other words, I only need to wait a few more months for Moonlight City to have enough funds for me to start the furnace?”Li Xiaotian said expectantly.
Babla gave Li Xiaotian an extremely friendly smile before shaking her head with a regretful expression. She then said something that left Li Xiaotian completely in despair.
"Little Tian Tian, I'm very sorry. I'm afraid that we still don't have enough funds to provide you with steel in a few months.”
"Why? Didn't they say that the seasonings would be harvested in a few months? How could Moonlight City not have money?”
Li Xiaotian's tone was clearly a little angry when he said these words." No matter what, I'm just trying to increase the income of Moonlight City. You actually want to brush me off like this? You're really looking down on me. I've decided that I won't teach you the new pastry making methods that I originally wanted to teach you. I'll only make them for my dear Vanessa so that you can only watch and crave them.'
Babla, who was experienced in the ways of the world, could tell at a glance that Li Xiaotian was currently very unhappy. However, she remembered that she would have to ask this little inventor for help in the near future, so she hurriedly explained to Li Xiaotian.
"Although I just said that in a few months, those newly planted seasonings will greatly improve the finances of Moonlight City. However, have you ever thought that although you can earn a lot of money by opening a restaurant in other demon cities, all of this comes with a cost? "Moreover, the number of plants we planted this time is not as many as we expected. "Therefore, it's very likely that the money we earn this time will only be enough for our sisters in the lord's manor to eat a little more snacks during each meal.”
When Li Xiaotian heard Babla's words, he knew that he had no chance at all. If he insisted that Barbara use the money she earned to experiment with smelting steel, those greedy succubi wouldn't let him off just because he invented these delicious foods. They would definitely tear his small body apart and eat him.
Damn it, these methods of earning money were thought of by him! Li Xiaotian dejectedly expressed that he had completely accepted his fate. He looked like a frosted eggplant.
It did not matter that he was listless, but it made Vanessa, who was hugging him behind him, feel heartache. She hurriedly comforted him, coaxed him, shook him, and even used the most effective method for children to pat his head, but it had no effect at all.
Babla felt that she could not completely extinguish Li Xiaotian's hopes, so she comforted him,"
"Little Tian Tian, don't be too anxious. Although the first batch of seasonings isn't high, our farmers have learned their lesson. I believe that the next batch of seasonings will be a bumper harvest. By then, Moonlight City will definitely have enough funds for you to experiment.”
"Then how long do I have to wait?”Li Xiaotian asked listlessly.
"According to my initial estimation, the second batch of goods will be ready in about half a year. Time was still quite fast, so there was no need to rush.”
'Holy sh * t! He still had to wait for more than half a year! Who knew how long it would take for Vanessa to become an adult? If he became an adult during this time, wouldn't his life be in danger? (When a succubus reaches adulthood, it doesn't just depend on her age. A large part of it depends on the strength that matches her aptitude. If she had been diligent in cultivation or had some fortuitous encounter, she might have entered adulthood a long time ago.) His value had yet to be fully realized. With Dolores 'personality, it was very likely that she would sacrifice him as a sacrifice for Vanessa's coming-of-age ceremony.'
After hearing that, Li Xiaotian thought of the risks he might face in the future. He immediately rolled down from Vanessa's arms and bent forward, lying on the ground, completely unable to get up again.
Dolores could not help but feel pleased when she saw Li Xiaotian's listless expression. She felt that she had finally gotten her revenge on this brat who had deceived her precious daughter.
In fact, she had hinted that Barbara was not telling the truth.
Moonlight City had indeed spent a lot of money because of the feast they had been eating and drinking a while ago, and it had also caused a serious deficit.
However, how could her accumulation of so many years be consumed by just eating and drinking for more than a month? If she really wanted to help Li Xiaotian with his experiments, she could still allocate a lot of funds.
However, she did not like this little fellow who seemed to have won her daughter's heart. She did not even consider the huge benefits that Li Xiaotian's furnace would bring him if it was successfully manufactured. Right now, she simply wanted to teach Li Xiaotian a lesson. As long as she could deal a blow to Li Xiaotian, she would definitely do it.
