Su Nian was slightly taken aback.
What was this bastard up to again?
But anyway, it was the last night.
After tonight, she wouldn’t be staying in this room anymore.
It didn’t matter anymore!
After thinking it over, Su Nian decided to set a Temporal Anchor in her own room right now.
[Current Humiliation Value: 950,000]
Maybe tonight, she’d gain the remaining 50,000 Humiliation Value here.
Once she reached a million, if there was a good chance for battle, she wouldn’t have to wait for tomorrow—she could seize the opportunity to kill the Horned Demon Bastard directly.
Opportunities like: him turning his back or falling asleep—if such a chance came up, maybe she could try it.
After all, she could use Destiny Reversal!
The dressing mirror reflected a swaying cascade of gold.
Su Nian twirled a strand of hair around her finger, moonlight streaming through her locks like scattered diamonds on golden silk.
“Saint-level Magic Mastery… I’ll beat that Horned Demon Bastard to a pulp…” She mouthed at the mirror, her rosy lips glimmering with a honeyed sheen, “Just wait, tonight you’ll see my show!”
As soon as she said this, the wind chimes by the window suddenly rang out in a flurry.
Su Nian whipped her head around, her black dress swirling like a wave.
But the empty balcony only had fluttering curtains.
Still, she shivered inexplicably.
Nothing unexpected will happen… right?
She’d already considered everything she could, and had even set a Temporal Anchor for safety in her room.
Based on her previous life gaming experience, losing at a single-player game with save points was actually pretty hard.
Even if she hit a tough level, she could always grind for experience and try again.
The only way things could go wrong was if—
There was a situation known as a “death save”.
Like saving with 1 HP left, then facing a screen full of ultimate attacks the next second.
But the chance of that happening was extremely low.
As long as she remembered not to set Temporal Anchors recklessly, it would be fine.
Better to spend more Humiliation Value and rewind further back in time.
“Knock, knock!”
After two knocks, Chu Tian pushed open the door and walked right into Su Nian’s boudoir.
Su Nian rolled her eyes, twisting her slender waist and taking dainty steps forward, her skirt swaying gently like a blooming flower in the wind.
In front of the Horned Demon Bastard, her body had long since learned to act obedient.
“Little wildcat, you smell so sweet tonight~”
Chu Tian leaned against the doorframe, black hair falling over his forehead as he took in the girl’s room, teasingly eyeing the girl before him.
He knew Su Nian’s plan—to recruit people from the Adventurers’ Guild to deal with him.
Since that was the case—
He wasn’t going to show any mercy either.
Su Nian lowered her gaze to hide her murderous intent, but spoke in a syrupy sweet voice, “As long as Master likes it.”
The next second.
The girl was pulled into the room.
“Bang!”
Her back slammed against the cold wall, and the Horned Demon Bastard’s familiar presence, mixed with the scent of tequila, washed over her.
Su Nian’s pupils shrank—the latest power she had obtained, the Left Eye of Time Sand Gaze, was frantically sounding alarms, but she was powerless.
She could only let the man before her pin her against the wall.
“Mmph—”
Her lips and tongue were instantly seized by the man before her.
Her slender, fair arms were pinned above her head by one hand, unable to move.
Su Nian couldn’t help but feel her heart racing.
But she comforted herself— ‘It’s just the last night. Just treat it like being gnawed on by a dog…’
Watch her turn the tables tomorrow!
“Ding-dong, Humiliation Value increased by 7,457.”
“Ding-dong, Annoyance Value +7,457.”
“Daily Task: Kiss the Horned Demon 1/1, 5,000 Humiliation Value completed.”
“This is little wildcat’s favorite collar. Come, let Master put it on you.”
Chu Tian casually hooked the collar with his finger, about to put it on Su Nian.
Su Nian grumbled inwardly—’who would like wearing a collar?’
She wasn’t some kind of perverted masochist!
“Clack!”
The crisp sound of the collar’s clasp echoed in the room, Su Nian’s swan-like neck gilded with silver by the moonlight.
The new leather collar was three degrees tighter than usual, making her throat itch.
“Raise your head, let Master have a good look.”
Su Nian felt the Horned Demon Bastard’s cold fingertips lift her chin.
At this moment.
The girl’s eyelashes trembled like a startled kitten.
Chu Tian admired the sensation of golden hair slipping through his fingers, and the way the girl obeyed his every word.
‘Something was wrong. This damn collar was definitely suspicious!’
Just now, when the Horned Demon Bastard personally changed her collar, the Left Eye of Time Sand Gaze suddenly sounded a frenzied warning, blood-red exclamation marks exploding across her retina.
But she was half a step too late.
Now, all her magic power felt sealed away in an airtight iron box—she couldn’t even sense the Contract Beast Space.
Worse yet, her nape tingled with numbness, as if someone was trailing a feather up her spine.
“M-Master…”
She instinctively shrank back, her bare feet rubbing against the plush carpet, but it felt surprisingly pleasant…
Chu Tian suddenly grabbed her ankle.
“Little wildcat is trembling a lot tonight?”
His thumb brushed her ankle bone, and as he leaned in, his black hair swept over her knee.
Su Nian, looking at the Horned Demon Bastard so close to her, suddenly realized that in terms of looks alone, this bastard was unexpectedly easy on the eyes.
Ugh!
How could she be thinking such things?
No, that’s not right.
Why did tonight feel so off?
In the past two or three days, even though she was still being tormented by the Horned Demon Bastard, she vaguely felt that she was actually in control of the rhythm—enduring humiliation from the Horned Demon Bastard in order to amass enough Humiliation Value to advance to Saint Level.
But tonight, she had no idea what was coming next.
Maybe… she should run?
Or use Destiny Reversal!
“Thinking of how to escape?” Chu Tian suddenly chuckled, a thin Thunder Serpent sparking from his fingertips and touching Su Nian’s back.
“Eek—” Su Nian’s head jerked up, but her protest melted into a sweet whimper that even startled herself.
“Or are you waiting for your little helper? The adventurers you hired from the Adventurers’ Guild with my Purple Gold Coins?” Chu Tian laid out Su Nian’s plan.
He still wanted to keep his identity as Captain Chu Tian under wraps.
So it was better for the “Horned Demon Bastard” to expose Su Nian’s plot himself, rather than let Su Nian think Captain Chu Tian had betrayed her trust.
Su Nian’s eyes flew wide open.
Purple Gold Coins!
Adventurers’ Guild!
Her carefully plotted plan had been seen through from the start.
‘Damn it!!’
Too bad, her Temporal Anchor was set for tonight—there was no changing it now.
What should she do?
Should she rewind to before the Horned Demon Bastard arrived?
But that wouldn’t change anything and would just waste Humiliation Value for nothing.
She still needed forty thousand more Humiliation Value to reach Saint Level.
Even if she rewound, if she refused to wear the collar, she’d still have to face the Horned Demon Bastard head-on.
The SSS-level Eye of Time Reversal was powerful, but it wasn’t a combat-oriented ability.
Without summoning her Contract Beast, she still couldn’t defeat the Horned Demon Bastard.
And—
She could feel her current state was off.
Her magic control was a mess, and it didn’t seem like she could successfully activate Destiny Reversal…
That being the case her only chance to turn the tables was to keep enduring humiliation, reach a million Humiliation Value, advance to Saint Level, then quickly contract with three Saint-level Contract Beasts—
But the situation now was—the Horned Demon Bastard knew she had stolen his money and hired people to deal with him.
Would he still give her the chance to earn Humiliation Value?
“As a Slave, you dare to hire people to attack your Master? Looks like I’ve been too soft on you.” Chu Tian yanked hard on Su Nian’s collar, growling harshly in her ear.
Su Nian decided to go all in—shame for a moment, happiness for life!
At the very least, she couldn’t die here.
“M-Master… Did I do something wrong?” Su Nian suddenly pressed herself into Chu Tian’s palm, like a cat trying to please its master.
“I’m really no match for Master… Could you… not pull the chain so hard? It hurts…”
Moonlight poured over the girl’s flushed eyes it was breathtakingly beautiful.
