While in Hollywood, I used Taoist magic to quell American terrorism.

Uh... Anne Hathaway seems to really like this kind of vibe.

Is it because she's naturally a bit artistic?

Cao Kun thought to himself.

Ding!

Another text message came in.

The succubus continued, "It was Scarlett. This is what she replied:"

"Damn, hahaha... This isn't like you at all."

Do you miss me?

"I'll come to your place as soon as I'm done here. Wait for me."

"Cough cough..."

Cao Kun coughed lightly.

I felt a little awkward having a succubus read this kind of text message aloud.

However, this is indeed Scarlett's style.

Ding!

Further news.

Succubus: "It's Amanda."

"Damn, did you put honey on your lips? You're suddenly so sweet, I'm swooning over your sweetness."

I want to taste it... to see if it's become this sweet too.

"Cough cough..."

Cao Kun coughed again.

Amanda is becoming increasingly bold in her speech.

The succubus, however, showed no embarrassment whatsoever.

Then he continued reading the next text message:

Megan replied: "You finally decided to reply to my message. I thought you had forgotten about me."

I'm still waiting for the Transformers movie you mentioned. I've recently found out some information, and it's indeed about to be officially approved.

Wait for me, good news is coming soon.

Then, I'll make sure you live there... and can never escape.

"Well……"

Cao Kun covered his mouth to hide his embarrassment.

Since her liberation, Megan has indeed become bolder and more outrageous with each new venture.

Next, the succubus opened Miranda's reply.

The succubus was about to recite the mantra when she suddenly stopped.

Succubus: "Miranda sent a multimedia message."

The succubus turned the phone screen towards Cao Kun, who was immediately stunned upon seeing it.

Sure enough, no matter how crazy Anne Hathaway, Scarlett Johansson, Amanda, Megan, and others are, they can't compare to Miranda.

She actually...

Ding!

Miranda sent another message.

"If you don't come to my house tonight, I'll sleep like this with the door a crack open."

"That woman who owes you..." Cao Kun cursed fiercely.

The succubus chuckled: "Master, tonight, would you like me to help you... her?"

Cao Kun: "No need, I have that ability."

Succubus: "Alright, but you can call me anytime you need me, Master."

I am willing to provide any service to my master.

"Will I need to keep in touch with them from time to time in the future?"

"Maintaining basic contact is sufficient; the strategy should be subtle and gradual."

The frequency, word choice, and timing must strictly simulate my possible behavioral logic; it is better to be conservative than radical.

The primary principles are 'natural,' 'thoughtful,' and 'respectful.'

And at the right time, send the right sweet nothings; they can be explicit, but not vulgar.

Cao Kun put down his phone and instructed, "Without my explicit instructions, you must not engage in any communication that may lead to excessive dependence, emotional burden, or misunderstanding."

"Understood, Master. Everything will be based on your will, habits, and interpersonal boundaries as the highest standards."

The succubus responded respectfully, her voice revealing a hint of pleasure at being recognized.

Cao Kun nodded: "Now, go and learn about finance-related topics immediately, especially tax avoidance."

"Oh! Yes, Master."

The succubus was reluctant, but dared not resist. She could only flash into a pink light and return to Cao Kun's phone.

That evening, Cao Kun went to Miranda's house.

Miranda's house was never quiet all night.

The next day, her voice was hoarse.

Lying in bed, I felt like a lump of mud.

Looking into Cao Kun's eyes, one could see fear, anticipation, and a hint of submission.

"Take these two pills."

Cao Kun took out a Spirit Transformation Pill and a Qi Cultivation Pill and gave them to her: "Take this one first, then this one?"

"What is this?" Miranda asked in a hoarse voice, full of curiosity.

Cao Kun: "Don't ask, just eat it."

"Oh, okay." Miranda didn't ask any more questions and took the pill anyway.

Soon, another burst of joyful shouts erupted from inside the room.

Miranda's voice has recovered.

My tired body was infused with new energy.

Then, she became entangled with Cao Kun.

"Don't you have to go to work today?"

"It's okay to go later. Don't forget, I'm the director of that hospital now."

"Alright, Dean, continue to pay for your text message from yesterday."

"Who's afraid of who?"

It was two hours later when Cao Kun left.

Miranda, on the other hand, looked radiant and drove to work with a bright smile.

The succubus strictly followed his instructions, maintaining intimate connections with several women in a subtle and gradual manner.

She always manages to seize the most opportune moment.

When Anne Hathaway was feeling down about a role, he would send her a subtle word of encouragement, quoting a line from Shakespeare.

Late at night after Scarlett finished an intense shoot, he sent her a thoughtful message reminding her to take a hot bath.

Offer appropriate empathy and praise during Amanda's joyful moments of sharing her life's fun.

When Megan was anxious about her career prospects, he instilled confidence in her with firm yet gentle words;

As for Miranda... the succubus had mastered those exchanges that were a mix of technical jargon and intimate hints.

It satisfied both the female doctor's rational and emotional needs, while always keeping the initiative firmly in Cao Kun's hands.

Cao Kun was surprised to find that the number of messages he needed to reply to personally had decreased significantly.

But his relationships with several women seemed to be closer and more enjoyable.

Their feedback became increasingly positive.

Every time they met, the women acted like they'd gone mad.

For the sake of his kidneys, Cao Kun deliberately controlled the frequency of their meetings.

After all, men are different from women.

The succubus is like a top-notch emotional tuner, precisely plucking every heartstring to create a harmonious and captivating melody.

Under Cao Kun's strict orders, the succubus's other talent was also quickly developed.

She devoured all the financial, tax, and legal knowledge she could find online.

This is especially true for information involving gray areas such as cross-border assets, copyright revenue, and legitimate tax avoidance.

She analyzed and simulated various tax schemes with superhuman speed, quickly building a complex and covert asset network for Cao Kun overseas.

All overt income, as well as some income that is inconvenient to disclose, are transferred through layers in a seemingly compliant manner, thereby minimizing the tax burden in Country M.

"Master, based on current tax loopholes and copyright revenue deferral provisions, combined with the shell company you have set up in the Cayman Islands, the estimated federal and state taxes that can be legally avoided this year are approximately this amount."

The succubus calmly announced a satisfactory figure while projecting a detailed financial path diagram onto the phone screen.

Looking at the meticulous arrangements, Cao Kun had to admit that in some areas, this succubus was more useful than the top accountants and lawyers combined.

She is more useful than AI more than 20 years from now.

Keeping her alive, sparing her life, and subduing her was absolutely the right choice.

In the blink of an eye, the calendar turned to the spring of 2005.

Cao Kun drove to Crystal Lake.
