Return Home, Sarkaz / Yu, Kidnapped by Ji to Cook

"I'm sorry, we were a bit inconsiderate."

Theresia and Lamian blushed with embarrassment after Warfarin's words and lowered their heads in shame.

Chapter 321 Return Home, Sarkaz

"Sister Warfarin, I'm so sorry!"

Jiu Lamian also lamented that she had completely lost her mind; Theresia's damned charm had quickly swayed her.

With unlimited funds and Ah Cao's boundless pampering, the two of them quickly lost their bearings.

0 completely fails to recognize that the money in their hands is also paid by taxpayers through hard work, committing a fatal mistake reminiscent of feudal monarchs.

If this trend isn't stopped quickly, who knows what kind of trouble it will cause in the future.

"I'd better be more sensible and only take half of Kazdel's current funds from now on."

Theresia's voice was barely audible, she dared not confront Warfarin's imposing presence.

"There's no need for that. We're all family. There's no need to be so particular about these things. Just be careful when you do things so as not to upset Ah Cao."

After giving Si a good scolding, Warfarin sighed, "I'm sorry, my expression and tone were indeed a bit harsh just now. I apologize to you."

The two quickly waved their hands, saying it was all their fault.

And he took the initiative to press the little vampire Warfarin down on the sofa and massage his legs and shoulders.

Kal'tsit: Hehe, I didn't get scolded!

What mischievous thoughts might a kitten have?

It's just that I sneak a little too much food every day.

Perhaps having been taught a lesson, Theresia and Lamian calmed down and reflected on their mistakes after returning to the Demon King's Palace.

While Master Huang led his team, driving up mountains and wading through rivers, the two of them reorganized all the affairs in the country, cutting almost all unnecessary expenses in half.

This delighted Dukare, as he and his team no longer had to do math until the early hours of the morning every day.

Although Master Huang provided a lot of funds, it couldn't keep up with the way these two spent them. Although they spent a lot, every penny was spent purposefully, and naturally every expense had to be carefully calculated.

Although the large number of projects led to incomplete management and inevitably resulted in some staff members taking advantage of the system, these people were still quite clear-headed and knew what they should and should not be greedy for.

After all, as both the Finance Minister and the head of the Kazdel Anti-Corruption Bureau Little Cat Roll is also the Minister of Finance.

Moreover, due to the inadequacy of the national laws, falling into his hands is worse than death.

You can spend money however you like, but you must know where it will go.

This put the finance minister, Dukare, in a difficult position.

After all, although this Blood Demon is the head of finance of a country, he is fair and honest in his work and receives a fixed salary.

The number of expenses is simply overwhelming, so many that it gives me a headache.

In the past, when the country was short of money, expenditures had to be carefully budgeted, and Dukare could manage it all by himself. But things are different now that the country has money.

Feelings can deceive you, but math can't.

Moreover, if it weren't for the Utopia staff working with him, Little Cat Roll would probably have quit by now.

Fortunately, this period did not last long, lasting less than a year.

His Highness soon expressed his desire to cut expenses, and quickly put it into practice, while also learning a great deal in the process.

For example, knowing how to arrange all the backup plans for these people.

A large number of construction workers were given backup plans and were seconded to work in other truly underdeveloped areas.

Since most of Kazdel's development projects were canceled, the two, who were previously working non-stop, suddenly had some free time.

Eight days after the "scolding," in Kazdel 'Demon King office.

With their domestic affairs significantly reduced, the two of them actually had time to relax in their office, sipping tea. Although Master Huang was mostly free too.

"It feels like we've been wasting our time in so many places. Miss Warfarin's criticism is spot on!"

Theresia lowered her head slightly, and something suddenly came to mind.

"Kazdel has been rebuilt, but what kind of rules should people follow in the future?"

That's right, since there was no civil war.

Theresia had already rebuilt Kazdel before she was betrayed by Master Huang.

After all, the billions of dollars used to subsidize more than just physical health. Apart from the recent betrayal during the Loyalty Script event, Kazdel has not experienced war for almost fifty years.

However, due to its geographical environment, the country's infrastructure was not ideal before the Golden Tree were planted.

Since the Golden Tree was planted, aside from the somewhat strange infrastructure, Theresia has almost completely rebuilt the country, and it can be said that she has done so with a sense of proportion.

The only drawback is that industry and commerce have not yet developed significantly, which is why they were educated at Warfarin.

Almost everyone's lives were placed in Theresia's hands, and they were all preoccupied with the country's plans and military affairs.

Fortunately, Kazdel's education system is no longer in a dire state; at least the literacy rate is much, much better than it was at this point in the original storyline.

The school is operating normally, and it's a vibrant and thriving place, lacking only an opportunity to actively reach out to students.

"It's time to call on the Sarkaz are wandering outside to return to their homeland, and the Undead Spirit Furnace should also be released."

This is a history that dates back more than seventy years.

From the very beginning of the city's construction, the entire Mobile City was powered by the spirits of the Undead Spirit.

Although it's unclear why these things are so heat-resistant, isn't witchcraft amazing?

"They must have harbored resentment after burning for decades. In fact, I and other engineers personally participated in the design of the furnace."

As the oldest and most stubborn faction in this civilization, these ancestors must also be properly settled.

Kazdel still has too few people; the departing Royal Court took away the vast majority of the country's productive forces.

Whether it's the Fire Demon or the Child of Earth and Stone.

If these Sarkaz could get the corresponding jobs, Theresia didn't know how much waste she could save.

I hadn't thought of it before, but ever since Warfarin gave Little Te a sharp nudge, it seems like his brain suddenly clicked.

"Just like the books say, you have to be splashed with cold water to calm your mind. Now I don't have to worry about being lectured by Warfarin anymore."

Looking at her best friend who seemed to have regained her vitality, Lamian chuckled softly beside her.

"Little Lianlian, please stop laughing at me! I really know I was wrong!"

Theresia suddenly realized something: it seemed that there had been no international activity since Kazdel joined Utopia.

It's as if Kazdel is still Kazdel, without any change.

Leaving aside Victoria and Gaul, two countries that already belong to their own men, Leithanian should at least be ridiculed a few times internationally, right?

Why, after a year, has Theresia not heard any news from other countries?

Lamian, however, was not surprised. "Because Asa didn't spread the news of Kazdel joining Utopia. I asked him before, and he said the time wasn't right yet."

"The timing isn't right yet, but I think it's about time."

"I'll have to ask Ah Cao about that. I'll make a call."

Just as the two were about to make a phone call, Kal'tsit, wearing a mask and concealing her ears with magic, suddenly knocked on their office door.

"Ladies, Master Huang sent me to deliver a message: now is the perfect time for Kazdel to make contact with the outside world," Kal'tsit said with a smile, standing at the door.

That very evening, Warfarin told her husband about lecturing Theresia and successfully gained her understanding.

What a good man Master Huang was! He naturally understood that his little vampire was thinking of him, so instead of blaming him, he praised him.

This is a fact that must be faced eventually; Huang Cao just wanted to spend some money to make Theresia happy.

It's not necessarily a bad thing that their own little vampire accelerated Theresia's growth.

What fault has it caused?

As for why Kazdel's information is not allowed to leave the outside world, it is of course to prevent other countries from spying on Theresia's country.

With such a vast frontier, it's very easy for a few people to get close.

Only when the Golden Tree is fully covered in Kazdel will the region be able to resist the infiltration of these spies.

Even so, this is not a perfect solution; it only saves a lot of work in terms of investigation and surveillance.

Chapter 322 Yu, who was tricked into cooking by Ji

At the same time, Huang Cao also arrived in Yan Country.

To be precise, we arrived at the border of the Yan Country.

They drove all the way to the location agreed upon in the letter, where Ji had been waiting for many days. He had even built a rather large restaurant in the wilderness to welcome Master Huang.

Of course, these are all creations of the Great Beast's power, and they will instantly turn to ashes as soon as a person leaves.

Several hundred meters from the target location, Huang Cao saw a large group of people in the distance.

However, he was not greeted by just one Sui; there were also officials from the Yan Country, which was not mentioned in the letter.

"Wait, why did he come?"

The Si Sui Tai official who had been tracking Ji to the border of Yan Country was shocked and stared at Ji in front of him with great surprise.

But to my surprise, the latter's tone was smug. "I told you all before that I'm entertaining a guest who has come from afar today, so please try not to follow me."

"The etiquette I showed to Mr. Huang was nothing more than the hospitality of a merchant. Even if it was stingy, it only made me lose face and had nothing to do with Yan Country."

Ji stared smugly at the officials of the Si Sui Tai, and he began to retaliate.

"But you are wearing armor, carrying long swords, and staring at Mr. Huang fiercely. This is not the way the Great Yan government treats its guests. I don't care, after all, this is just a normal business negotiation."

"As officials appointed by the imperial court, you should be aware of Mr. Huang's international standing. Your presence here represents the official government of the Great Yan, yet you have acted disrespectfully. If you incur Mr. Huang's displeasure, do you think you can keep your official hats?"

"Don't tell me you don't care about this position, I truly believe it, but the future lives of the people of Great Yan could be ruined by you."

Those who dared to follow him, holding the torch, were undoubtedly fearless, but they also harbored great ambitions for the nation. (5→6, 4)

When these somewhat endearingly foolish officials are placed in the face of national interests, they find it difficult to maintain their composure.

Although tracking down Mr. Huang is equally important, compared to that, it would be far less significant if it truly caused Great Yan to lose face.

"You got off easy today!"

As Master Huang's caravan approached the border of Yan Country, a large group of Si Sui Tai staff following behind Ji quickly left.

It just goes to show that this is a country with martial arts prowess; they disappeared in an instant.

Since everyone here is a smart person, they have decided these past few days to stop spying in secret and wait until they report to their superiors before making a decision.

As the head of a nation, Huang Cao's willingness to bring a large group of people to a foreign land to do business indicates that his guards are definitely capable, perhaps even as strong as the Great Yan Imperial Guard.

The Si Sui Tai is merely a regulatory body. Although it possesses some military force, its combat effectiveness is far from reaching a high level; at best, it can be considered a mid-level player.

"Brother Ji, this is our first meeting, isn't it? How have you been?"

"My older sister and younger sister have both told me about your gentleness, and seeing it for myself, I can attest that it is truly extraordinary."

Both of them were shrewd old foxes, and they immediately launched into a round of mutual flattery.

After chatting for about half an hour, Ji invited everyone into his newly built restaurant to welcome them back.

"This place is far from the heart of Yan Country, and the border is a poor and remote area. Although Brother Huang has your country's advanced means of transportation, I'm afraid the road is not so easy to travel."

"No need to worry, my car can be driven by both wheels and legs. As long as the road is not too difficult, there will basically be no problem."

Perhaps things weren't as tense as they thought, so their conversation progressed very slowly.

After eating a batch of cold dishes, Ji planned to arrange for all the entourage brought by Master Huang to other private rooms.

"Gentlemen, please forgive me for the lack of hospitality."

Abundance, who had followed, did not speak or make any request for Master Huang's opinion; he simply sat on the stool like a statue.

The soldiers dispersed only after Huang Cao gave the order that they could rest.

Ji wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his brow without making a sound. "Brother Huang's military discipline is truly a model of a wise ruler throughout the ages."

After a brief encounter, Ji discovered that Huang Cao had brought only thirty of the Abundance Warrior of Yan Country, and even those who drove were among them.

However, judging from the peculiar aura emanating from the Utopia Warrior, Ji could conclude that their combat power far surpassed that of the Yan Emperor's Imperial Guard.

It can even be described as unfathomable.
