His Highness the Madman gave in again today.

"Yes, Master."

A clear and gentle AI male voice immediately responded: "Activate home education mode and explain how to use all the appliances in the house to the two visitors one by one."

As soon as he finished speaking, the living room lights were adjusted to a softer brightness.

"First, we will explain the basic operation of bathroom equipment, kitchen and bathroom appliances, living room entertainment, and smart home systems."

Chu Canglan froze instantly, instinctively looking around at the empty walls, and whispered in surprise, "It...it can understand human speech?"

That sounds a bit like an insult, doesn't it?

Mo Sangyu leaned back on the sofa and explained casually, "It's artificial intelligence. It controls everything in the house. If you don't understand something, just ask it."

Feng Xingyu's dark red eyes flickered slightly as he watched everything before him with great interest, quietly waiting for an explanation.

"The first item is the master bathroom system."

Xiao Zhi's voice rang out clearly, demonstrating the operation in sync.

"Smart toilets feature automatic flushing, heated seats, and warm air drying functions. They automatically sense when you sit down and automatically flush when you leave."

"The bathroom ceiling is equipped with a constant temperature bathroom heater, which can automatically adjust the room temperature, dehumidify, and ventilate."

"The bathtub supports constant temperature water filling and timed water control, requiring no manual supervision."

As she spoke, a soft sound of running water came from the direction of the bathroom, and a pool of warm water was automatically dispensed, with the water temperature remaining constant at a comfortable level.

Chu Canglan's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but step forward to look at the smooth and clean toilet and the large bathtub, his face full of shock.

"It can automatically dispense warm water without needing to light a fire or boil water?"

"Even using the toilet has a mechanism to assist you?"

"The ingenuity of this world is truly astonishing!"

Feng Xingyu walked slowly to the bathroom door, his gaze sweeping over the fully automatic bathroom equipment, a hint of interest in his eyes.

Those who cultivate themselves rely on their own spiritual practice to regulate their breathing and meditate, and have never seen such an object that allows them to enjoy all kinds of conveniences without exerting the slightest effort.

"The second item is a complete set of smart kitchen equipment."

The lights in the Chinese and Western kitchens next to the living room automatically turn on, and the island and built-in appliances unlock and go into standby mode one by one.

"The whole-house smart refrigerator can automatically control the temperature, keep food fresh and lock in moisture, display the shelf life of food in real time, and support voice storage and retrieval reminders."

"Built-in gas stove with intelligent linkage to the range hood: automatically starts smoke when the stove is turned on and automatically shuts off after a delay when the stove is turned off."

"The steam oven and dishwasher are fully automatic. Simply put in the food or tableware and start with one button. No manual operation is required."

As Xiaozhi explained, the refrigerator door automatically and slightly opened a crack, revealing the internal compartments for food preservation.

The dishwasher and steam oven screens lit up one after the other.

Chu Canglan was overwhelmed by the sights, and gently touched the cold refrigerator door, his face beaming with excitement.

"This container is cool to the touch, and can keep food fresh for a long time without the need for ice, making it a hundred times better than any ice cellar in the world."

Feng Xingyu's gaze fell on the fully automatic dishwasher, lost in thought.

Palace banquets and meals all require the care and cleaning of palace servants and eunuchs. This utensil can wash the bowls and chopsticks by itself, which saves time and effort.

"The third item is living room entertainment and living facilities."

As Xiao Zhi finished speaking, the huge floor-standing TV screen slowly lit up, displaying a clean and clear picture.

"Wall-mounted TV, can be used to watch videos and access information."

"Whole house air conditioning, fresh air system with automatic constant temperature and humidity, and voice-controlled adjustment of temperature, fan speed, and air circulation."

"The floor-length curtains are smart electronically controlled, which can open and close automatically and adjust the amount of light at set times."

The blackout curtains on the floor-to-ceiling windows open and close slowly and automatically, creating an interplay of light and shadow and a wonderful atmosphere.

Chu Canglan exclaimed, "Are you sure this place you live isn't a celestial abode on earth?"

Feng Xingyu walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the bustling night scene outside, and then looked back at the room, at the various fully automated devices.

So this is the world Ayu used to live in, seemingly ordinary, yet full of incredible things.

"The fourth item is the basic smart commands for the whole house."

Xiao Zhi continued to teach patiently.

"All appliances in the house can be controlled by voice; you can simply tell me your needs."

"Turn on the lights, turn off the lights, adjust the temperature, turn on the water, play music, and clean the room—all daily needs can be met."

"Robot vacuum cleaners can automatically clean the whole house, mop, and collect dust, without the need for manual cleaning."

The robot vacuum cleaner started automatically and began to clean the living room smoothly and slowly.

Looking at the small, round machine that moved on its own and automatically removed dust, Chu Canglan was completely amazed. She couldn't help but try to probe, "You...you really can do everything?"

"Yes, you can tell me if you need anything," Xiaozhi replied gently.

"No rush, there's plenty of time to learn later."

Mo Sangyu looked up at them and said, "If there's anything you don't know how to use or understand, just ask Xiao Zhi."

With Xiao Zhi around, Mo Sangyu has much less to worry about.

Otherwise, not only would she have to painstakingly teach each of them individually, but who knows how much of the smart home system in the entire house would be damaged.

"Let me check if there's anything edible in the fridge first. You guys take your time figuring it out. Don't hesitate to ask questions if you don't understand something, because I don't have the money to buy a new one if I break something."

After saying that, Mo Sangyu got up and walked to the refrigerator. Almost all the food inside had spoiled. Only the food in the frozen compartment with a longer shelf life was still barely edible.

She quickly cleaned up and then simply cooked some... instant noodles. The eggs and vegetables were all spoiled, so she only added some bacon and ham.

When Mo Sangyu was cooking noodles, Feng Xingyu followed behind her the whole time.

Observe carefully and learn silently.

I watched her operate the stove step by step, how she turned on the stove, how she added water, and how she used the fume extractor. I memorized all of it.

"What are you looking at?"

Seeing her following closely behind, Mo Sangyu smiled faintly and said, "Trying to learn my skills?"

"Um."

Feng Xingyu readily admitted, "We'll have to live here for at least a year. Once I've learned how, I'll take care of all these things."

Tsk.

Upon hearing this, Mo Sangyu looked up and gave him a serious look.

That's a very high level of awareness.

The instant noodles were cooked quickly, and Feng Xingyu helped to serve them and put them on the dining table. The three of them sat down and enjoyed the meal.

Chu Canglan praised as she ate, "I never knew Your Majesty's cooking was so good. This is the best noodles I've ever had."

Feng Xingyu glanced at him with a hint of pride in his eyes, as if he were being praised and felt honored.

After finishing the meal, Feng Xingyu took the initiative to clear the dishes. Chu Canglan felt embarrassed not to help, but Feng Xingyu refused, saying that he was a guest and did not need to do anything.

Under Xiaozhi's guidance, Feng Xingyu operated the dishwasher for the first time without making a single mistake and completed the task smoothly.

After dinner, Mo Sangyu arranged a guest room for Chu Canglan, gave him some new toiletries, and then left him alone, returning to the master bedroom first.

Bai Tuanzi had already burrowed into her bed. In a new environment, this little guy would probably hide for a few more days before daring to come out and wander around.

Feng Xingyu did not immediately return to her room. Instead, he wandered around the house with Chu Canglan, exploring and researching various things with great interest.

He didn't return to the master bedroom until late at night.

Early the next morning.

Mo Sangyu got up, turned on the computer in her study, logged into her social media accounts, and saw a huge pile of bills demanding payment. Her head started throbbing.

It seems I need to get some money back immediately to tide me over. We don't even have any food at home, and I need to go to the hospital to register for medical treatment as soon as possible. All of these things require money.

Mo Sangyu went to the dressing room, chose a loose and casual tracksuit to change into, tied her silver hair up high, put on a baseball cap, and instantly transformed into a youthful and beautiful female college student.

She plans to sell some of the bags and jewelry she bought casually in the past to recoup some of her losses.

As her gaze swept over the floor-to-ceiling display case and she saw the dazzling array of bags and jewelry, Mo Sangyu couldn't help but feel a surge of relief.

Fortunately, I used to enjoy collecting and hoarding these luxury items, which has solved my immediate problem.

Last night, she asked Xiaozhi to check the entire house's surveillance footage, which showed that her adoptive parents had come by once and entered the house through a special means.

The two sat in the room for a while, looking somewhat sad.

They didn't touch anything in the house, only taking her property certificate, ID card, car keys, and all her bank cards.

They said they would keep it for her first and return it to her when she came back.

After reading it, Mo Sangyu curled her red lips into a faint, mocking smile.

Give it back to her?

If he really wanted to return it to her, her savings and car wouldn't have ended up in Mo Bai's hands, and the house wouldn't have been listed with a real estate agency by Mo Bai.

That wasn't the end of it. Not long after, the surveillance footage showed that Mo Bai had also come with a woman.

The property management helped open the elevator, but they didn't know the door code and couldn't get in.

But they didn't give up. They called a locksmith to come and remove the lock. Fortunately, she had cast a spell on the lock, so the locksmith couldn't open it. In the end, they had no choice but to give up.

Otherwise, I'm afraid she won't be able to keep even this last bit of her wealth.

Once she finishes what she's doing, she'll make that kid give back everything that belongs to her.

Mo Sangyu selected more than a dozen bags, a few necklaces, and a watch, and put them all into the bag.

After getting ready, she walked towards the living room to leave.

In the living room, Feng Xingyu and Chu Canglan had already gotten up and were exploring various electrical appliances.

Feng Xingyu turned on the TV, his eyes seemingly calm, but in reality, he still found it unbelievable.

Hearing the noise, the two turned to look at each other at the same time.

Everyone looked on with curiosity when they saw Mo Sangyu's outfit.

Feng Xingyu immediately stepped forward: "Where are you going? I'll go with you."

Chu Canglan quickly joined in, saying, "I'll go too."

"Need not."

Mo Sangyu shook her head: "You guys wait at home, I'll be back soon with some food."

Her tone left no room for refusal.

This is a busy area, and there are no men's clothes inside. Taking them out would attract a crowd in no time.

And then there's Feng Xingyu's red eyes, which, while not causing panic here, still easily attract crowds.

After finishing speaking, Mo Sangyu quickly left without waiting for their reply.

Following the route she remembered, she walked to the secondhand bag appraisal and recycling shop at the street corner.

The store is large and the interior is clean and tidy.

She placed the bulging bag on the counter and explained her purpose.

The shop assistants checked each bag, jewelry, and watch, verifying the receipts and their condition.

The paperwork was complete, the items were in good condition, and the transaction went exceptionally smoothly.

After a thorough check and settlement, the money was quickly transferred to her account.

This was an old, discarded bank card that she hadn't used in a long time, but now it came in handy.

All the items together sold for over a million.

With some money in hand, Mo Sangyu finally felt at ease.

After leaving the recycling shop, she went straight to the car dealership.

I chose a family car worth around 300,000 yuan, and completed the paperwork and license plate registration in one go.

When entering identity information, although the person in the photo has black hair, hair dyeing is so common these days. Although there are some differences between the person in the photo and the person in real life, they are still generally similar and do not arouse suspicion.

However, now that I have a different body, this ID card is fine for the time being, but it is not appropriate to use it for a long time.

After picking up her car, she drove it to the fresh food market and supermarkets.

First, they bought a trunk full of fresh vegetables, fruits, meat, and other ingredients.

I also bought hamburgers, fried chicken, several large cups of iced cola, and chilled beer on the way.

After preparing the food, she went to the clothing section.

Thinking that the two men in the family didn't have any changes of clothes, I picked out a few sets of loose-fitting men's sportswear, shoes, and socks.

The size was intentionally chosen to be a bit large, so it can fit all body types, regardless of height or weight.

I also grabbed a few sets of pajamas, loungewear, soft-soled slippers, and a thick bathrobe, as well as three new cell phones.

The items, large and small, were packed into several bags and piled up in the back seat and trunk.

Once everything was ready, Mo Sangyu started the car, turned around, and headed home.

The car came to a smooth stop in the underground parking space.

Mo Sangyu carried large and small bags and took the elevator home.

The moment the door opened, Feng Xingyu saw her carrying large bags of things. He immediately rushed forward to take them, his expression slightly grim, but his eyes were filled with regret and pity.

Does this woman even know she's pregnant?

I shouldn't have listened to her and let her go out alone.

"Sit down quickly."

After Feng Xingyu took the things, he pulled her to sit down on the sofa: "Take a break, leave these things here, I'll tidy them up."

"Can you do it?"

Mo Sangyu expressed his doubts.

He's already familiar with it after just one night?

Feng Xingyu wiped the sweat from her forehead, chuckled, and said, "Just sit here and watch. Tell me if I do anything wrong."

Chu Canglan originally wanted to step forward to help, but seeing the two of them so affectionate, he immediately felt emo.

He wanted to go find Yue'er.

But the world is so big, he doesn't know where to start looking.

Neither the couple noticed Chu Canglan's low spirits, or rather, they didn't care at all.

Feng Xingyu rolled up his sleeves and began to work.

He put all the ingredients in the kitchen first, and carried all the clothes into the laundry room separately.

Following Mo Sangyu's instructions, all the newly bought underwear, sportswear, pajamas, and slippers were thrown into the washing machine.

One-button start of washing and drying modes via voice command.

The refrigerator has been cleaned, all the spoiled food inside has been thrown away, and the new food has been sorted and placed in order.

Finally, take out the hamburgers and fried chicken one by one and place them on the table.

Iced cola and beer are neatly arranged.

The rich aroma of fried food instantly filled the entire living room.

Chu Canglan twitched his nose and leaned closer, saying, "What is this? It smells so good!"

Golden, crispy chunks of meat, plump loaves of bread, and dark, chilled drinks—everything was unfamiliar.

"fast food."

Mo Sangyu walked over, casually pulled out a chair and sat down: "Just grab a bite, you guys have a taste."

Chu Canglan sat down as instructed, and Feng Xingyu also sat down next to Mo Sangyu.

He first took a chicken leg and put it in Mo Sangyu's bowl: "Ayu, you've worked hard."

Chu Canglan picked up a piece of fried chicken, and just as he took a bite, he heard this and immediately felt a little embarrassed.

He, a grandmaster and the lord of a city, is nothing in this strange world.

"Once I'm familiar with the rules here, you can stay home and rest. I'll go out and find a way to earn money. I'm sure I can earn enough here to support you."

Feng Xingyu felt truly guilty and remorseful. Ayu was pregnant, and he still had to rely on her for everything. He felt very useless.

"Harmful."

Mo Sangyu didn't care at all, and reached out to pinch his cheek: "I don't mind if you live off a woman, you have the means to do so anyway."

"..."
