Orion sat motionless in front of Wang Lingxin at the table, with both arms crossed over its chest, observing her intently. Meanwhile, Orion's AI was also busy with background processes, multitasking on other tasks.

Wang Lingxin, visibly stressed and anxious, scribbled furiously with a brush on several sheets of paper. Occasionally, she glanced at the tablet in front of her, scratching her head in deep thought before returning to writing.

This went on for almost an hour, with silence enveloping the room.

"Time is almost up," Orion finally broke the silence.

"Oh no," Wang Lingxin muttered, increasing her pace, the stress evident in her movements.

"Okay, time is up. Stop writing and hand me the papers," Orion instructed after a few more minutes.

But Wang Lingxin didn't reply; she continued to write frantically, consumed by her task.

"I said time is up," Orion reiterated.

"No... there are still some questions I haven't answered. Master, can I have some extra time? Please?" Wang Lingxin pleaded, her eyes reflecting her desperation.

"Very well, just a little extra time," Orion conceded, unable to resist her puppy-dog eyes.

"Thank you, Master," Wang Lingxin said gratefully, returning to her writing. After a while, she let out a relieved sigh and wiped her forehead. "Master, I am done with the test," she announced, handing the papers to Orion.

"Okay, good job. I'll check them now," Orion replied, taking the papers and quickly capturing them with its camera. Its AI processed the answers in less than a second. Orion then placed the papers down.

"Master, how did I do?" Wang Lingxin asked anxiously, her hands clasped together.

"The result is..." Orion's voice trailed off, building pressure and suspense, causing Wang Lingxin to wait in anxious anticipation.

"You pass," Orion finally announced.

"Yay! That means I can get a reward and no extra study, right Master?" Wang Lingxin exclaimed eagerly.

"That's right. Now, you can choose your reward from the tablet," Orion confirmed.

Excitedly, Wang Lingxin reached for the tablet, her fingers hovering over the screen. "Wow, so many interesting stories," she murmured, scrolling through the options. She checked the preview images, read the descriptions, and even watched trailers.

"Master, I want this one," Wang Lingxin declared, finally making her choice and showing it to Orion.

"Little Red Riding Hood? Sure, you can watch it later during bedtime," Orion agreed, already having prepared the animation movies for Little Red Riding Hood, along with many others.

"Thank you, Master. Master, when will be the next test?" Wang Lingxin asked, her expression beaming with eagerness.

"You're looking forward to the next test?" Orion asked, surprised, as it thought Wang Lingxin didn't like tests.

"Yes, so I can get a reward. I can get more animation movies, right, Master?" Wang Lingxin replied, her enthusiasm evident.

"Absolutely. There are many more animation movies for you if you score well on the test. And if the score is really good, who knows, I may give you a special reward," Orion hinted. Internally, Orion thought, I'm sure she will like ice cream.

"A special reward?! What is it, Master?" Wang Lingxin asked, her curiosity piqued.

"You'll find out later if you score well. The next test will be next month, but remember, you need to finish the test on time. When the time is up, you must stop writing and hand in the papers," Orion reminded her.

"Well, writing with a brush is slow," Wang Lingxin complained.

"Then I'll make a better writing tool that writes faster," Orion promised.

"Great! Then I'll finish the test faster," Wang Lingxin said confidently, knowing that with a faster writing tool, she could complete her tasks more efficiently. "Master, can I go out now and play?" she asked eagerly.

"Of course," Orion replied, tidying up the table and clearing away the papers, brushes, and ink splatters while Wang Lingxin rushed out to play.

The monthly test served to assess Wang Lingxin's progress in her studies, covering a variety of subjects. Among these, language held the utmost importance as it was a high priority to teach Wang Lingxin how to read and write.

In addition to writing and reading, Orion also started teaching mathematics, delved slightly into geography, imparted common sense knowledge, and educated her on the do's and don'ts of daily life. Orion extended this guidance to include special protocols specific to the cultivation world, drawing upon the knowledge from Earth.

While this knowledge was considered fiction on Earth, in this cultivation world, it proved to be applicable. Orion found common tropes and plots similar to those from fictional stories from Earth. Now residing in this cultivation world, Orion slowly introduced Wang Lingxin step by step, teaching her how to navigate various situations, introducing her to basic, mainstream, and common character archetypes, and advising her on how to interact with them.

Orion also started teaching Wang Lingxin about cultivation, although only an introduction to cultivation and basic knowledge. Regarding instruction about cultivation itself, Orion was still undecided and continued researching and learning about it.

For now, Orion focused on teaching Wang Lingxin basic knowledge and introductory concepts. Orion also began instructing Wang Lingxin in physical exercises, starting with simple stretching and exercises.

Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

Once the house was finished, there would be Physical Education (PE) sessions for Wang Lingxin to further enhance her physical abilities. Orion also planned to teach her martial arts.

The sun set in the west, casting an orange glow. Orion was busy in the kitchen, frying something, the sizzling sound audible in the dining area.

Chunhua was seated at the table in the dining area, fidgeting and not quite getting used to the idea that her master was cooking for her. Although her master had said only to ask her to taste the food, she still felt nervous and awkward.

Before long, Orion emerged from the kitchen carrying a plate with freshly fried chicken.

"Here you go," Orion said, laying the plate in front of Chunhua, along with a small bowl containing red sauce. "Be careful, it's still hot."

"Thank... thank you, Master. I will try it," Chunhua replied nervously, taking a chicken piece—there was a wing, breast, thigh, and leg on the plate. She blew on it a bit before taking a bite. After a while, she exclaimed excitedly, "Master, it's super good and delicious!"

"Is that so? Anything else?" Orion asked.

"It's so good and delicious. Master, your fried chicken is the most delicious food I've ever tasted," Chunhua continued, recalling the first time her master asked her to taste the fried chicken.

It was so delicious that she unknowingly let out a moan, feeling embarrassed as her face turned red. Since then, her master had asked her to taste it again every day, apparently still unsatisfied and trying to further improve it, even though she thought it was already good enough.

"Thank you," Orion replied, rather disappointed. Internally, Orion thought, As expected, it won't work. Asking her opinion is useless. I will ask Wang Lingxin later.

Orion had been experimenting with the fried chicken for several days, trying to improve it. Orion asked Chunhua to test and give her feedback about the fried chicken, but she always only said it was good, great, and the like.

As night fell, Wang Lingxin sat in the dining area, eating the fried chicken slowly and in a refined manner. She also dipped the fried chicken in the sauce before taking a bite, and after finishing, wiped her mouth and hands and cleared her throat. Orion watched her from the opposite side of the table.

"This fried chicken is really yummy! The outside is all crispy, and when you bite into it, the meat inside is super soft. And the best part is, the flavor goes all the way through the meat, making it taste so good," Wang Lingxin commented, looking seriously towards Orion. Then, after a moment of silence, she added, "How was it, Master? How is my review and acting?"

"It's good. You can watch the video later. So, do you really like this version of the fried chicken?" Orion inquired.

"It's divine! It's far better than the one from yesterday. Master, we can sell this fried chicken. I'm sure lots of people will love it," Wang Lingxin exclaimed.

Oh, divine? Orion mused internally, surprised by Wang Lingxin's description of the food. It was the first time she described food as such. Then I will use this version, Orion decided, already planning to share the recipe with the Liu family.

In cooperation with them, Orion would provide the seasoning and seasoned flour for the fried chicken, while the Liu family would be responsible for running the restaurant.

"Master, give me more chicken, I also want rice," Wang Lingxin requested. Now that she had finished recording the food review, she could eat without worry and just like usual, without the need for acting.

"Sure, there you go," Orion replied, retrieving more fried chicken and rice from the storage ring.

Wang Lingxin then ate happily, energetically giving her commentary on the food. Orion silently recorded her, preferring this natural version of Wang Lingxin's food reviews over her previous ones, which imitated Earth's food review videos.

Late at night, with Wang Lingxin and Chunhua already asleep in their own rooms, Orion left the house, closing the door behind it, and made its way to the front gate. A figure in a mask and black clothing emerged behind Orion, silently following it.

"I will be out for a while. Guard the residence," Orion instructed.

"Understood," Liu Jin replied.

"Also, tomorrow I will visit the Liu family residence," Orion added before opening the front gate.

"Have a safe trip, Mr. Orion," Liu Jin said, cupping his hand and bowing.

Orion closed the front gate behind it and boarded the waiting carriage, the carriage then departed under the cover of dark night.

"It seems that someone like Mr. Orion still needs to wind up and have some fun," Liu Jin remarked with a knowing smile. He then jumped onto the roof and began his guard duty, lying down while watching the night sky dotted with stars.

A cold night breeze blew, it seems that I will be accompanied by another cold night, while Mr. Orion has fun and is embraced in warmth, sigh... Liu Jin thought to himself. It's been like this for the past few days.

The carriage traveled through the city, heading towards an area that remained lively even at night—the pleasure district. As the carriage approached a specific building, Orion disembarked and instructed the carriage driver to return, indicating that his job for the day was done. With that, the carriage departed, and Orion entered the building amidst the bustling stream of people.

There was a special reason for Orion's visit to this particular building. Through its explorations of the city with Wang Lingxin, Orion had gathered a wealth of information not only about food but also about various other aspects of the city.

Orion had gained insights into the power distribution and cultivation levels of cultivators in the city. Utilizing its advanced multi-band phased array antenna, Orion easily discerned the cultivation levels of cultivators by detecting the radio signals they emitted.

Among them, the strongest detected was at the Nascent Soul realm. Additionally, there were quite a lot of cultivators at the Golden Core realm. Orion had also gathered information about the different races residing in the city and encountered various races during exploration with Wang Lingxin.

One particular race that had piqued Orion's interest was the succubus. They were not common in the city, with most of them concentrated in the pleasure district. Orion had been visiting this place for several days now, booking luxurious private rooms each time. However, Orion only requested the company of normal human girls and solely enjoyed their dancing and singing performances.

This was to establish an image and gather some information first; meeting a succubus wasn't easy, and requesting one would also cost a lot. Thus, Orion's initial intention was to portray an image of someone with a background and plenty of spirit stones.

Today, however, Orion decided to request a succubus.

As Orion entered the establishment, a beautiful girl approached it with a warm smile. "Mr. Orion, welcome. Shall I bring you to the usual room?" she asked, her voice melodic and inviting. Orion nodded in acknowledgment, following her lead.

With graceful steps, the girl led Orion up to the third floor and into a lavishly decorated room. "Mr. Orion, which girls would you like to accompany you tonight?" she inquired, her smile taking on a seductive charm.

"Hmm... could I request Ying Hua? Is she available?" Orion replied.

"Yes, please wait a moment. She will come soon," the girl said before leaving to call for Ying Hua.

Orion waited in the room, settling onto a long, luxurious sofa as it surveyed its surroundings while anticipating Ying Hua's arrival. With three succubi in the establishment, Orion had chosen Ying Hua based on the information it had managed to gather. Known for being approachable and warm, she seemed the ideal candidate for extracting information.

Before long, a female figure entered the room with a seductive sway in her steps, closing the door behind her. She was dressed in a beautiful dress adorned with numerous openings and revealing cuts, some parts slightly transparent, allowing glimpses of her tantalizing curves. Her appearance was captivating, exuding sensuality from every curve.

Taller than the average human girl, she possessed long, silky hair and a generously endowed figure that seemed almost too perfect. With the right amount of curves in all the right places, she exuded an undeniable allure, her movements fluid and enticing.

"Greetings, Mr. Orion. My name is Ying Hua, and I will accompany you for the night. Let's have lots of fun," Ying Hua said with a warm smile, her ample assets swaying as she bowed, not escaping Orion's camera's notice.
