Sorry, I'm a cultivator.

"Lord Xingzhou's cooking is so delicious!"

"This was bought."

After returning, Li Xingzhou ordered food from Zixuanlou Restaurant. Because he was an SVIP, he received a large amount of free food and the delivery was fast.

Tong Yan took a bite of a skewer of grilled meat and mumbled, "If it was made by Lord Xingzhou, then it was made by Lord Xingzhou!"

Li Xingzhou was indifferent, but he knew that the primary function of these automated dolls was to serve their masters, which was why they chose to say nice things...

"Lord Xingzhou, could you give me that too?"

Tong Yan excitedly picked up a beautifully packaged box of pastries from the coffee table: "I've had my eye on them since I got back. They look so delicious. Can I have them? Can I have them?"

Her eyes were sparkling.

Li Xingzhou retracted his previous statement; Tong Yan was not being polite at all.

"Oh, I'm sorry, is it not allowed to eat this...?"

"Let me ask first."

Li Xingzhou sent a message to Jiang Wanzhao, saying that this thing was obviously a gift for his sister, and it wouldn't be good if he touched it.

Jiang Wanzhao replied almost instantly: I'm very unhappy that I'm being polite to you and to me. Aren't the things in the house yours? You just wait!

"Eat up, it's alright."

Li Xingzhou smiled at the childlike face and replied to Jiang Wanzhao's message, but received no further reply.

"Yeah~"

Tong Yan happily unwrapped the packaging, picked up a piece of mung bean cake, and was about to put it in her mouth when she stopped: "Lord Xingzhou, would you like some?"

"You can eat it." Li Xingzhou waved his hand, left the dining room and sat down on the sofa. "By the way, you're not allowed to eat the cake in the refrigerator."

He hadn't forgotten that today was Jiang Wanzhao's birthday.

"Uh-huh!"

Tong Yan glanced quickly at Li Xingzhou, and the moment the mung bean cake entered her mouth, her face was filled with blissful oblivion.

Li Xingzhou put away his phone, picked up the file folder on the table, and looked through his complete identity documents and the employment notice from Tianqi University.

Deputy Director of the Student Affairs Section of Lingwu Academy, Tianqi University, and counselor of Class 4501.

As the world's number one university, Tianqi University was jointly established by many forces, resulting in the establishment of colleges belonging to different forces.

Whether it's teaching resources or cultivation manuals, it's among the world's best, as it's a cradle for cultivating talent for various forces.

At the same time, it is also a front line for mutual infiltration and the recruitment of talent.

Because the Wei Clan took most of Yun Li's cultivation manuals and spiritual crafting techniques with them when they retreated, the Wei Clan became the representative force of the Enlightenment Realm of Tianqi University.

Over the years, due to the abundance of cultivation manuals at Tianqi University, many Qi cultivators have gone there to study, but very few have returned.

Therefore, Jiang Wanzhao has never gained the upper hand in public opinion.

It wasn't until they began cooperating with the Athena species that Jiang Wanzhao gradually gained the upper hand.

In addition, Li Xingzhou used Lin Jin to capture many spies from the Wei Clan, so his trip to Tianqi Island was to completely reverse the situation between the two sides.

"Ah~ This food is so delicious~"

Tong Yan slumped onto the sofa with a blissful expression, patting her slightly protruding belly.

Li Xingzhou glanced at it and raised an eyebrow. "Even the belly bulging out from eating is made so realistically?"

If this technology existed before the spiritual energy revival, who would bother getting married?

"Satisfied?"

"I'm satisfied!"

Li Xingzhou smiled, then turned his attention back to the information about the Wei ethnic group and Tianqi University that Jiang Wanzhao had given him.

As he watched, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

As an automaton, Tong Yan surprisingly doesn't proactively analyze data for herself!

Li Xingzhou turned his head and saw Tong Yan sitting on the sofa bending down and reaching for the fruit plate on the coffee table.

Seeing that she was looking over, she subconsciously withdrew her little hand, tilted her head back and gave a cute, innocent smile, trying to get away with it.

"Eat."

Li Xingzhou patted her head, and Tong Yan immediately smiled and picked up a bunch of grapes, her long, fair legs stretched straight out beneath her skirt.

Li Xingzhou looked at her thoughtfully. Logically speaking, an automaton of this level shouldn't need a question-and-answer session, since she could say she was hungry, eat on her own, and even initiate conversations...

However, at this moment, Tong Yan did not show any willingness to share the Master's worries.

Moreover, as a system, although its performance is not bad, its presentation is relatively simple and lacks features such as task assignment.

Of course, it could also be due to my own biased understanding.

Or perhaps, the fall from the sky disabled some other functions as well?

As Li Xingzhou was pondering this, just as he was about to ask her to analyze the Wei ethnic group, the familiar sound of a car rang out outside the courtyard.

My sister's car!

A short while later, Jiang Wanzhao, who had already changed into casual clothes, walked in with a brisk and decisive manner.

"Sis, you're back so early?"

Li Xingzhou stood up to greet him: "I thought you'd be busy until very late."

I thought you would come to me on your own initiative.

Jiang Wanzhao, having taken off her high heels, snorted coldly: "This is home, that's true, but I'll be spending more time in the palace from now on, and..."

Do you remember what day it is today?

“I’ve bought the birthday cake.” Li Xingzhou put his arm around Jiang Wanzhao’s shoulder. “How could I forget your birthday? I’m just still not used to you being the emperor, and I forgot that you would be living in the palace.”

Jiang Wanzhao's expression softened slightly: "Isn't it because you're fascinated by automatons?"

“These are two different things.” Li Xingzhou whispered a few words in Jiang Wanzhao’s ear and gave a general account of the cause and effect of Tong Yan’s appearance.

Sure enough, Jiang Wanzhao's gaze toward the boyish-looking man on the sofa softened considerably.

"This automaton is a bit disobedient." Jiang Wanzhao stared at the child's face, which was stuffed with grapes and had puffed-out cheeks.

The automaton with a youthful face and large breasts was still sitting on the sofa, staring blankly at Jiang Wanzhao.

"Hey, being a kitten is fine." Li Xingzhou winked at Tong Yan: "It won't affect anything."

Jiang Wanzhao glanced at Li Xingzhou: "As long as you know what I'm doing, that's fine, but I need to make some changes."

"Ok?"

Li Xingzhou looked at Jiang Wanzhao in confusion, only to see Jiang Wanzhao walk up to Tong Yan and say, "Turn on the 14+ mode."

"What mode?"

Although he had a guess in his heart, Li Xingzhou still asked again.

"The literal meaning," Jiang Wanzhao said calmly. "Anyone with money can buy an automaton, but every country has relevant ethical laws, so automatons have 14- or 18-rated versions."

After the 14+ mode is activated, the body shape won't change, but some areas will only have skin.

Upon hearing this, Li Xingzhou blurted out, "Isn't this just a different kind of censorship?"

This is a common method of censoring in some adult anime/manga series.

“That’s right.” Jiang Wanzhao looked at Li Xingzhou with a smile: “I was afraid you wouldn’t be able to resist the urge to… have everything you have… that’s mine!”

"..."

Li Xingzhou twitched the corner of his mouth, naturally feeling somewhat unwilling that such a lifelike automaton would lose its 'soul'.

But seeing the dangerous look in Jiang Wanzhao's eyes, Li Xingzhou could only shrug and say whatever he wanted.

Don't let Jiang Wanzhao get too angry and suffer any serious consequences.

Moreover, if the 14+ mode can be activated, it can definitely be deactivated later!

Jiang Wanzhao looked at his expression, hesitated for a moment, then looked away and crossed her arms: "I'll set the password."

Looking at her expression, Li Xingzhou sensed that her tone wasn't quite firm.

Oh, you're worried that I might feel disgusted or rebellious because you think she's using the favor of raising me to give orders.

Are you overthinking it?

This is no big deal. Do you think I'm the kind of ungrateful wretch?

Of all the things under heaven, the kindness of being raised is the greatest.

However, Jiang Wanzhao's reaction at this moment is also a good thing for me.

This shows that she has begun to seek her own opinions to some extent, instead of just accepting whatever she says as she did in the past.

Li Xingzhou smiled: "No problem, you're doing this for my own good."

He paused, then continued, "What if she transmits some virus to me? That would be very dangerous, wouldn't it?"

"I didn't, I wouldn't!" Tong Yan retorted, "Even if viruses in the world have evolved to some extent, I definitely wouldn't do that..."

Li Xingzhou gave her a trusting look. He was joking; if he could still be poisoned in his current physique, he might as well start all over again!

Tong Yan tilted her head and stared at Li Xingzhou for a few seconds before saying to Jiang Wanzhao, "I don't have a 14+ mode!"

Jiang Wanzhao laughed: "What, did 'Wise God' send you here just to warm your bed?"

“Any normal automaton can do that,” Tong Yan said. “Isn’t that just common sense?”

"Sister, she doesn't understand sex."

"How did you know?"

“I recognized her voice just by listening to it,” Li Xingzhou said matter-of-factly. “Did I try to do it myself?”

It doesn't count as a trial until you cross the final step!

"Of course I believe you." Jiang Wanzhao looked at Li Xingzhou with a smile: "Since she doesn't have any other options, then so be it. You can take her with you when the time comes."

It wasn't that she trusted Li Xingzhou wouldn't lay a hand on Tong Yan, but she felt that his earlier statement, "What if she transmits some virus to me?" made a lot of sense.
