Theresa Displays World-Shaking Wisdom. / You Were the One Who Betrayed Us First, Demon King!

The Huang Cao, weighed down by the weight above its head, couldn't help but ponder.

"It's shaped like a water droplet~ Do you like it? Even with your current large body, you can't hold it with one hand~"

The Huang Cao seemed almost unaffected by the weight on its head.

Just kidding! The title of "Ultimate Good Man in Terra" isn't just a casual remark; my male virtues are unparalleled in the world!

In reality, the Shapeshifter Collective behind the scenes believed that their seductive behavior was enough to move anyone, but they could not seduce the Huang Cao who had been tested by Kal'tsit.

Because the actions of the Shapeshifter Collective had already been used by Kal'tsit decades ago.

After all, aside from changing her body, this cat couldn't do anything for her plan, changing all sorts of outfits, but she never succeeded.

Even with Lamian's tacit approval, Kal'tsit failed to succeed, let alone the Shapeshifter Collective whose entire bodies exuded an air of utter incompetence.

The Shapeshifter failed to seduce was greatly disappointed, but not too upset.

After all, she had tried to seduce them herself, transforming into Theresia and Lamian, and even Warfarin, but to no avail.

This time, the face used is the Shapeshifter's own, and her beauty and figure are quite alluring.

"So I've lived too long after all? Shapeshifter Collective... wasting time on me is really a waste of my time?"

Huang Cao gracefully sipped the rich coffee that the Shapeshifter had personally ground, and then gave it a fairly good review.

Better than that cat's...

The grandfather clock on the cabinet ticked away, its hands sweeping across every inch of the scale behind it.

Not long after, Master Huang, who had finished his meal, quickly picked up the enormous slime with one hand and kicked it out the door.

"Ouch~ That's so rough... I really don't know how Lamian could have fallen for someone like you."

"I'm sorry, Miss Shapeshifter, my gentleness is only for my family and those I have to treat with a gentle face for my own benefit. Obviously, you can only be the latter, and you are not the latter now."

The Shapeshifter Collective, kicked out of the door, dusted off their maid dresses and stared longingly at the closed villa gate.

"So it is precisely because you are so difficult to overcome that I find the joy in challenging you..."

Chapter 149 showcases Theresia's extraordinary wisdom.

I rested for a few days.

The Royal Court meeting proceeded smoothly as expected.

Decades later, Huang Cao once again witnessed Theresia's transformation.

The clear naiveté in his eyes was gone.

But she still doesn't seem very bright, and she has the same look in her eyes as Kal'tsit standing next to her, indicating that she has been successfully assimilated.

Furthermore, it has adopted the very advanced meeting procedures of Victoria.

Compared to Huang Cao's first Royal Court meeting decades ago, this pink-haired one girl has finally printed out the meeting's agenda and content.

The Lord of the Royal Court could clearly understand what they were going to do at a glance.

Of course, the most important thing is to admit Kal'tsit's existence.

Furthermore, in order to eliminate any lingering resentment in everyone's hearts, and also as an apology, Kal'tsit wore a thick maid outfit and served tea and water to the Lord of the Royal Court.

Well, at least Dukare seems to be enjoying himself; his former enemy has become his servant.

A secret sense of satisfaction crept into his heart, but his expression remained unchanged.

It must be said that this tactic was indeed effective.

The Lord of the Royal Court, who originally intended to devour Kal'tsit alive after seeing Kal'tsit, became somewhat more subdued after this incident.

At least I can listen to my demon Demon King finish speaking before I tear this cat to pieces.

Theresia immediately dug up Kal'tsit's dark past, confirming that she had been an enemy of the state in the past.

Covering up the past is tantamount to betrayal, and no matter how idealistic Theresia may be, she could not be that noble.

However, how to quell the anger of the Royal Court is also a problem.

Huang Cao, the Speaker of Victoria, suddenly became playful. "Your Highness, why have you brought the enemy onto our territory? Are you perhaps planning to betray us?"

The Demon King's betrayal—what an absurd phrase.

However, Dukare, who had a history of regicide, couldn't help but think more highly of the Grass-eating Demon sitting next to him after hearing this.

Good lad!

As expected of the new generation of Lord of the Royal Court, he has the courage to say what I wanted to ask right away.

Dukare had intended to say the same thing, but before he could organize his thoughts, Huang Cao blurted it out first.

Theresia did not panic; instead, she offered her own explanation.

It was about making Kal'tsit atone for Kazdel's sins, and incidentally, getting rid of the fertilizer plant.

Sure enough, the moment the fertilizer plant was mentioned, the criticisms from the Royal Court immediately decreased significantly.

To be fair, half of the achievements in the construction of Kazdel's capital can be attributed to this fertilizer plant.

After all, only with a secure food supply can people work harder and the population grow rapidly.

Kazdel is a land prone to Catastrophe, and growing conditions are extremely scarce.

Chemical fertilizers play an indispensable role in enabling high-yield crops to be grown on limited soil.

It is precisely because of this that Kazdel's capital was able to completely escape the realm of hunger.

Theresia spoke with the fertilizer plant executives several times, hoping that Huang Cao could set up a few more fertilizer plants, which might lead the surrounding areas out of hunger.

However, all of them were rejected without exception, and Kal'tsit wrote a letter immediately after hearing the decision.

Sister, do you think Kazdel hasn't fallen fast enough?

One company is enough to control the capital's economy; if a few more were added, the entire country would be completely controlled.

Huang Cao didn't want to contribute to poverty alleviation in this country so quickly, so he also declined.

"Gentlemen, this opportunity was secured for us by Kal'tsit. I want to give her a chance to use her knowledge to gain a competitive edge for Kazdel in the future."

Dukare sighed. "Since it's your plan, as your subject I will naturally follow it carefully, but only if this Feline doesn't have any other ideas."

The Blood Demon Lord was not the kind of person who was tyrannical and unreasonable, but he particularly hated hypocritical people.

If the current Demon King truly follows the path in his heart, he will be greatly respected regardless of whether his actions align with his own ideals.

Even though Theresia's behavior had always been far removed from the majestic and extraordinary image of the Demon King he had imagined, he was willing to accept it.

Seeing that Huang Cao was about to cause her trouble again, Kal'tsit shook the cat ears on her head.

She then walked gracefully to Master Huang's side and served him a pot of black tea.

"Mr. Huang, please have some tea. I hope you can forgive me for everything I did in the past. From now on, we are all in the same boat. Kazdel's future is closely related to yours."

You've stopped calling me "Master" altogether, huh? Just wait till I get back and teach you a lesson!

Huang Cao knew that, given his status, he could only offer a few complaints at most, since, theoretically, he arrived in Kazdel after the war.

The Grass-eating Demon race had already perished long before Kal'tsit invaded the country, not to mention that the latter knew that Huang Cao was definitely a fake.

After serving tea to each of the Lord of the Royal Court, Kal'tsit, who was a maid, stood behind Theresia.

He shielded His Highness in front of him, not allowing any blade of grass to have any chance to tease him.

The group glanced at the national development plan that their leader had handed them and said, "Just look at it."

However, our Master Huang looked left and right but still couldn't find any problems with the road construction.

"Your Highness, why not try building a road?"

"I think the current roads are sufficient, and Catastrophe occur frequently, which can easily destroy the roads that have finally been restored. Therefore, I think we should focus our efforts on the development of basic industries first."

Theresia said without hesitation, but Huang Cao, who had thoroughly mastered the economics, couldn't help but have a question pop into his mind.

What is the purpose of developing industry? Isn't it to protect ourselves and our infrastructure?

Industrial development is not just empty talk; it must be connected with all aspects of society.

We cannot develop simply because we want to develop. For example...

Normal industrial development will inevitably lead to an increase in productivity, and an increase in productivity will inevitably lead to the production of things like commodities.

The problem is that goods, like money, only have value when they are put to use, which is essential for creating a virtuous cycle in the national economy.

The development of basic industries is a high-input, high-consumption project. If the steel and other commodities produced have nowhere to be consumed, they can only pile up there.

Given Kazdel's current situation, it's simply impossible for them to use the surplus steel for external warfare.

So what exactly are you developing?

The plans for building factories were packed with details, but there was no unified plan for the operation of these factories.

I don't understand why these factories were built...

The development process of most countries is driven by demand, because most of the time they can guarantee that they will not lose money.

However, Theresia directly reversed the Heavenly Gang's stance, deciding to develop first and then consider the needs.

Chapter 150: Demon King, you betrayed us first!

If one insists on arguing that this pink-haired one wants to plan for the future, can the country's economy really hold up in the future with this kind of behavior?

Large countries dare to do this because they are already powerful enough to afford the high costs, but Kazdel is still a poor country.

Huang Cao could see that Theresia's development plan was indeed much better than his first visit, but not by much.

It works, but it's not very good.

We dare not say, we dare not ask.

Set aside your desire to help others and respect their fate.

My Master Huang, has so many things to do every day, how could he possibly have the time or inclination to help this pink-haired one girl?

This woman will only truly cherish things after she has experienced hardship.

"Your Highness, your decision is correct, and I wholeheartedly agree with your idea."

Huang Cao and the rest of the Royal Court raised their hands and applauded.

However, apart from him being the only one who understood economics, everyone else present was just following the trend.

What is the economy? Is this food?

Theresia thought her idea was good, but Kal'tsit, who was standing next to her, noticed something amiss.

Having lived with Master Huang for decades, how could this cat not know its owner's personality?

Kal'tsit had always known that Master Huang had an inexplicable feeling for Theresia.

This feeling seemed to be a mixture of regret and anticipation, which is why this man was willing to give His Highness a chance.

Kal'tsit doesn't want to argue about the cause of this feeling right now; her long life experience has taught her that...

Based on this special feeling, Huang Cao would show an admiring expression if he saw Theresia doing a good job.

But after hearing Theresia's answer, Master Huang showed a strange yet relieved smile, which was not one of praise.

Although she was reluctant to admit it, Kal'tsit felt that Master Huang was more authoritative in terms of the economy and national development, so she thought at the time that there must have been some flaws in her prince's plan.

It's far from perfect, and may even be flawed from start to finish.

But Master Huang just wouldn't point it out, looking at Theresia was about to fall into the pit, as if she were an idiot.

Kal'tsit has learned something from Master Huang over the decades, but she has not been able to learn it most of the time.

Because Huang Cao's thinking is too unconventional, the entire process of strategic deployment is carried out in his head.

Therefore, this cat had no way to learn anything, which is why her level of economics is still embarrassing to this day.

After much deliberation, Kal'tsit decided to eavesdrop on some information and then correct His Highness's mistake.

After the first part of the meeting ended, several members of the Royal Court planned to go out and enjoy the scenery, and even Lamian was pulled away by Theresia.
