A sage on Earth once said,""Only women and villains are difficult to raise."
The current Dolores didn't care about anything else at all in order to let herself vent her anger. Even though she was already the lord of Demon City, it was clear from this that she was still a very ordinary woman deep down.
At this time, everyone present had already finished eating all the food. When they saw that there was nothing to talk about, they stood up and left.
Originally, Vanessa had planned to stay here and accompany Li Xiaotian. However, Dolores had decided to educate her precious daughter today, lest a succubus like her be deceived by a mere human child.
Therefore, our lord personally walked over and grabbed Vanessa's two demonic wings with one hand. He carried her like a chick and walked to his room.
It seemed that she was planning to have a very in-depth and detailed candlelight conversation with her precious daughter there.
Very soon, Li Xiaotian was the only one left in the dining room, sprawled on the ground in a dispirited manner. He continued to be in low spirits.
That was not right. There was someone else standing in the restaurant other than Li Xiaotian.
When the man saw that there was no one else around, he swayed his hips and walked elegantly to Li Xiaotian's side. He said in a very gentle and seductive tone,
"Little Tian Tian, don't be so depressed. Just take it easy. You're still young anyway, so you don't have to rush to show off your achievements. Isn't it good to use this time to accumulate your magic power?”
Hearing someone talking to him, Li Xiaotian felt that this person's voice was a little familiar. He could not help but look up. He saw that it was actually that Chief of the Imperial Household, Barbara, who was talking to him.
Babla's words had ruined his plans to forge steel. No matter how friendly she was to him now, Li Xiaotian still found her to be an eyesore. He could not help but harrumph coldly and say in a fit of pique,"
"Why is our Lord Chief looking for this kid? I am just a mere toy and servant. I really don't know what I can do to help you.”
Babla could tell from Li Xiaotian's tone that he was still angry at her. She could not help but find it funny. After lightly hitting Li Xiaotian on the head, she said,
" You should be able to tell that it was Lord Delorise's intention not to give you the funds. Moreover, I wasn't lying just now. The money in the liege's manor's treasury has indeed been used up a lot during this period of time. It has already reached the point where it has to be saved.”
"You're lying to me. You think I can't figure out how Moonlight City's savings of so many years would be eaten up in such a short period of time? You're deliberately making things difficult for me.”It seemed that Li Xiaotian had figured out a lot of things while lying on the ground.
What a smart child…Babla's heart skipped a beat, and her expression stiffened. However, as a succubus who was extremely skilled at acting, she quickly reacted.
"Hehehe…Little fellow, you think a lot. However, what you said just now is right, but it can also be said that you didn't say it right.”
"What does she mean by that?" Li Xiaotian could not help but stare at her with a puzzled expression. He really did not understand what this fellow meant by saying these words.
"The Demon Abyss is a very dangerous place. We often encounter wars and conflicts. Even a remote city like Moonlight City, which is quite powerful locally, often encounters wars or attacks from strong people. Magic Crystal Coins and Soul Crystals are both valuable currency and very important consumables on the battlefield.
In order to deal with the needs of the war that may break out at any time, we have always had a war fund in the liege's residence that we absolutely cannot use easily. I can tell you that the money is definitely not a small number. However, for the safety of the entire Moonlight City, this money will definitely not be used on anything other than war. Therefore, although you have successfully invented these delicacies and those strange things, which has proved that you have a very high talent for invention, I still can't take this risk. I will give you a large amount of money for you to do experiments.”
Babla's words were very reasonable, leaving Li Xiaotian completely speechless. Although he still felt that something was wrong, since she had already said so much, it would only seem like he was being too petty if he continued to cling to this topic. Li Xiaotian could only let go of this question for the time being.
"Alright, even if what you say makes sense, tell me the reason why you specially stayed behind to wait for me! Seeing that you've spent so much effort to explain to me, if there's anything I can help with, just say it!”Li Xiaotian said generously.
It was better to offend a villain than a woman. Li Xiaotian understood this saying very well, especially when this woman was the evilest succubus among all women. He could not afford to offend her. They had explained for a long time. Since they had already given him face, he still had to try his best to help them.
If he didn't beg them, would Head Chief Barbara be grateful to him? As long as she didn't make things difficult for him behind his back, he would thank her profusely.
"Didn't Little Tian Tian say before that she would use fresh flowers to make perfume? I happen to have some pretty good flowers here. See if you can make them into perfume.”
After saying this, Babla took out a large bouquet of unknown flowers from her interspatial ring and asked Li Xiaotian if they were enough.
"Eh? Wasn't it said that it was very difficult to find flowers in the Abyss Demon Territory?”Li Xiaotian asked curiously as he sniffed hard, taking a whiff of the mesmerizing fragrance emanating from the flowers.
"Sigh…! Little Tian Tian couldn't smell the flower.”Babla was shocked when she saw that Li Xiaotian was actually able to smell the flowers. She hurriedly put the bouquet of flowers back into her interspatial ring.
However, Babla's actions were already too late. Li Xiaotian had already caught a whiff of the scent.
When Li Xiaotian smelled the fragrance of the flowers, he felt that the fragrance was very pleasant. It made him feel as if he was floating in the air. His entire consciousness slowly became clear, as if he did not have to think about anything or worry about anything. Gradually, his consciousness became more and more blurry, as if he had fallen into the deepest sleep and did not want to wake up again.
Pa…A crisp sound rang out in the dining room. As the pain in his cheeks spread, Li Xiaotian's consciousness that was gradually drifting away returned to his original body.
