Ying Hua then approached Orion boldly, striding over and seating herself on Orion's lap. She wrapped her arms around Orion's body, getting close as she rested her head on Orion's shoulder, pressing her ample assets against its metallic body.

"Mr. Orion, you can have me for the whole night. You can do whatever you want to me. Should we start?" she said with a mischievous and seductive smile.

"I've heard great things about you," Orion remarked.

"Oh yeah? About what? How great I serve my customers?" Ying Hua whispered to Orion.

"About how nice of a person you are, how warm and approachable you are to talk to," Orion replied.

"Ara ara, Mr. Orion, you are quite the flatterer. Are you perhaps not just wanting to have fun with me but trying to seduce me? Steal my heart, perhaps?" Ying Hua said with a playful smile, still latched onto Orion.

Orion turned its head to look at her. She really knows how to seduce people, Orion thought internally. "Why don't we start with getting to know each other first? I'd love to know more about you" Orion suggested.

"Know more about me? Why? Perhaps you have fallen head over heels for me?" Ying Hua remarked, smirking.

"Mmm... no," Orion replied.

"Mr. Orion, are you perhaps nervous?" Ying Hua teased.

"Why would I be?" Orion replied.

"Why don't you start touching me?" Ying Hua suggested.

"There's no need to hurry," Orion said calmly.

Suddenly, something slithered onto Orion's back, moving up and gently wrapping around Orion's neck before the tip caressed its face. Oh, a tail? Orion thought to itself.

Succubi have horns, wings, and tail, and they can freely hide or show them. It was Orion's first time seeing a succubus tail.

"Don't worry, you don't need to be afraid. I won't bite," Ying Hua whispered slowly to Orion, then planted a kiss on its helmet.

Orion then lifted Ying Hua with both arms and positioned her to sit on its lap, facing it.

Seeing Orion finally make a move, Ying Hua licked her lips and smiled. She hugged Orion's head tight, pressing her ample assets against it, burying it in the softness. "Kyaaa..." she exclaimed with delight.

Orion pushed her away a little, freeing its head from the embrace of the softness. Then, Orion flicked Ying Hua's forehead with its finger, not too strong nor too weak.

Smack!

"Oww..." Ying Hua held her forehead with both arms. "Mr. Orion, that hurt. You're bad," she pouted. "Or perhaps you like that kind of play? Fine, let's do it," she said with a mischievous smile.

"Listen, I'm a traveler from a distant place, and it's my first time meeting a succubus. I'd love to learn more about you and your race. So, can you stop playing around and tell me about yourself and the succubus race?" Orion requested, having positioned Ying Hua in front of it to ask the questions. However, Orion's camera suddenly captured nothing but a white mound of flesh, prompting Orion to give Ying Hua a little punishment.

"Oh, like that? Don't you want to have fun?" Ying Hua queried.

"We can still do that later; the night is still young," Orion replied.

"Hmm... that's right. Then what do you want to know?" Ying Hua asked.

"Let's start with yourself," Orion suggested.

Ying Hua then began talking about herself, providing information while Orion noted and recorded the details. Unfortunately, the information seemed trivial and unimportant.

"Can you also tell me about the other succubi in this place?" Orion inquired.

"What? Mr. Orion, are you perhaps not satisfied with me and want another succubus?" Ying Hua questioned.

"You are good, beautiful, and nice. I am not dissatisfied with you, but can't I know about the other succubi? Am I not the customer? Can't I choose the succubus I want? Am I not allowed to choose the best succubus in this place? Or are you claiming to be the best among the other two?" Orion countered.

"Of course, I am the best succubus in this place, even in this city. The others can't compare to me," Ying Hua boasted smugly.

"Fine, you are the best in the city, but still, tell me about the other succubi in this place and in the city," Orion insisted.

"Hmph! Very well," Ying Hua replied grudgingly, then began her explanation. Orion listened attentively, noting the information she provided.

"Well, I guess that's all I can tell you. Is there anything else you want to ask?" Ying Hua inquired.

"That's enough, thank you," Orion responded.

Orion gazed at Ying Hua seated on its lap, and behind a pair of white mounds, Orion noticed a beautiful necklace. Pushing her back slightly for a better view, Orion observed the necklace closely. It appeared exquisite, but Orion knew its true nature; the beautiful accessory was actually a sinister tool.

Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings.

According to the information Orion had gathered, it resembled a slave collar, meticulously designed to enhance the succubus's beauty while serving its dark purpose. Imbued with inscriptions, the necklace granted the master the power to inflict pain or even end the wearer's life. Once worn, the wearer couldn't remove the necklace, as only the master held that authority. Attempting to remove it forcefully would result in the wearer's death.

Orion then touched the necklace, remarking, "What a pity. Such a beauty, but chained like a little bird in a cage, never to learn to fly and explore the vast sky."

Ying Hua's expression shifted abruptly, her smile vanishing as she turned sad and cold, as if Orion's words had pierced her sensitive emotions. Meanwhile, Orion continued to scrutinize the necklace closely, zooming in with its camera to examine it in detail.

"It's our curse as succubi, we have no freedom, our fate is in the hands of others," Ying Hua lamented.

"Perhaps not. What if I could give you freedom?" Orion said, releasing the necklace and turning its attention towards Ying Hua.

Ying Hua fell silent for a moment before chuckling softly. "That would be great, but such a thing... there's no need. Freedom is not something I dare to dream of. Let's just have some fun... Should we move to the bed, or do it here?" she proposed, misunderstanding Orion's offer as an attempt to buy her from her current master. To her, it didn't make much difference; she would still be owned, just by a different master.

"Mr. Orion, why don't you remove your helmet and armor? I can make men happy as if they've ascended to heaven. I will make sure to satisfy you, and you won't be able to forget about me," Ying Hua proposed.

"Well, I doubt that," Orion replied.

"You're challenging me? Fine, let's do it," Ying Hua said, licking her lips.

"..."

"..."

"Ah..."

"Mr. Orion... Kyaa..."

"Aahh... Not... not there... Mr. Orion... Ah... so good... Ah~"

"Don't stop... keep going... ah... yes... mmhh... Ah~"

"..."

"..."

After hours of lewd moaning sounds echoing through the room, Orion eventually opened the door and left. Having subdued Ying Hua, it utilized its metallic palm and fingers to administer a massage and Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS). Ying Hua had never experienced such a satisfying massage before; Orion's technique proved to be exceptional.

The sensation of electricity was a completely new experience for her, leaving her unable to stop moaning in pleasure. Orion's cold, hard metallic fingers were just right for her, not causing any discomfort for a cultivator like her. All the stress, fatigue, and stiffness, especially in her shoulders disappeared entirely.

As Orion walked out of the room, Ying Hua's figure could be seen from the open door, lying on the sofa with messy clothes. Her eyes half-opened, she continued to pant lightly. Slowly turning her body, she looked towards Orion's departing figure.

"Please come again," she said with a satisfied look on her face, despite the session ending up being just a massage. Initially, she had taken the initiative to "attack" Orion, but to her surprise, he overpowered her and began massaging her instead.

Orion simply raised its hand in acknowledgment as it kept walking, not bothering to turn back.

That was really something, Orion thought internally as it retrieved a piece of cloth from the storage ring and wiped its face. There were lots of kiss marks on the glass, affecting the camera behind it. If Liu Jian was here, he would surely have a nosebleed and his face would glow red.

Ying Hua's offensive was rather fierce, prompting Orion to counterattack and take control of the situation. Orion decided to massage her instead because it was unable to fulfill Ying Hua's intentions.

Orion left the building after settling the payment, then walked back to the residence. It was still very early in the morning, dark and cold, with the streets empty.

The succubus are good candidates. For now, I will gather more information about them. As for Ying Hua, at least she still has a fire within her that blazes with the desire for freedom, even if it's small, Orion thought internally as it walked. Currently, Orion still lacks what is needed to begin recruiting the succubus race. Orion also considers that it still doesn't have enough strength to guarantee its own safety in this world, let alone protecting the succubus race.

It's not easy to start industrialization, Orion thought internally. To execute many of its plans, Orion required various things, including money, resources, and manpower. Orion had been searching for trustworthy individuals for a while, and one particular race that caught its attention was the succubus race.

Succubi were the most oppressed race in this world, lacking a place they could call home and unable to roam freely due to the constant threat of capture. In a world where cultivators could commit terrible acts for various reasons, succubi, with their captivating beauty and seductive bodies, often fell victim to exploitation, becoming slaves. Only succubi with sufficient strength could navigate the world freely.

The kingdom has banned slavery, but this primarily applies to mortals, as the kingdom cannot effectively enforce its laws in the cultivation world, because the kingdom is just a small fish in a small pond. Even within the kingdom, those with significant power and backing simply disregard the kingdom's rules, while the kingdom itself often turns a blind eye.

Cultivation world it’s not all sunshine and roses.

Orion needs a lot of manpower. Orion had calculated the possibility of bringing the entire succubus race under its wing, providing protection, and, in exchange, Orion will ask them to work for it, but not as slaves. As for manpower, Orion needed individuals willing to relocate to remote wilderness locations, which would also be ideal for the succubi to avoid persecution and oppression. If Orion were able to bring the entire succubus race under its wing and have them grateful to it, Orion is confident that the succubi would be able to keep secrets and stay loyal.

Orion was also seeking mortals for manpower, particularly those who had nowhere else to go, lacked affiliations and ties with others and were in some kind of trouble. Loyalty and the ability to keep secrets were essential qualities Orion sought in these individuals, and people in such circumstances were very likely to be more loyal to Orion if it could help them.

Orion planned to build a new society formed by people who worked for it, completely isolated from the rest of the world to maintain secrecy. However, the candidates for such people were scarce, and Orion had not yet found suitable individuals.

After walking for a while, Orion arrived at the residence, opened the front gate, and entered. Liu Jin immediately appeared in front of Orion. "Welcome, Mr. Orion," Liu Jin said, bowing with cupped hands.

"Mmm... you can go back," Orion replied, handing Liu Jin a piece of paper. "Also, can you get me these items?"

Liu Jin took the paper and glanced over it. Several types of slave collars? What does Mr. Orion want to do with them? he wondered internally. "It's easy, I'll arrange it immediately," he assured Orion before his figure disappeared, leaping off into the distance.

Now, I just need to wait for Wang Lingxin to wake up, Orion thought internally. It was still dark, with about one more hour until the sun rose.

I've been going out during the night for several days, leaving Wang Lingxin behind, but it's not like I want to have fun secretly. It was an important information-gathering mission, Orion reflected internally. Moreover, I can't bring her to that kind of place.

Usually, Orion spent the night in the same room as Wang Lingxin, while she slept, Orion kept busy with something.
