A silky sensation flowed slowly over every inch of Su Nian’s fair, delicate skin.
It was the pure white silk nightgown she had changed into just after her bath.
She gently tied the sash of the nightgown around her waist.
A seemingly casual gesture, yet as if imbued with some kind of magic, it outlined her already alluring curves even more clearly.
However, Su Nian knew very well that at this moment, she was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
There was nowhere for her to escape.
The act of tying the sash was less about covering her body and more about hiding the unease and resistance deep within her heart.
She walked out of the washroom as if treading on thin ice.
The luxurious decorations did nothing to bring her even a shred of security; instead, they made her feel even more suffocated.
Those clear, breathtaking sky-blue eyes, tinged with an unhideable panic, drifted toward the large bed in the center of the bedroom.
That bed was so big it could fit several people rolling around on it.
The soft mattress seemed to tempt her, luring her to sink in and forget all her troubles.
As expected, that figure was already sitting in the single chair she usually occupied.
Before the eleventh reversal, in order to gather enough Humiliation Value for the 100,000th reversal, she had knelt in front of this very chair in humiliation, doing things she couldn’t even put into words…
Horned Demon Bastard!
He even used that thing he didn’t have to slap her face.
Ugh. ……
Just like in the previous eleven cycles.
That Horned Demon Bastard she hated to the core.
He was sitting on that chair that had brought her endless humiliation, looking at her with an aggressively predatory gaze.
He looked her up and down without restraint.
That gaze was like an X-ray, as if it would pierce her completely.
It seemed intent on stripping away the thin, cicada-wing silk nightgown she wore, prying into every secret hidden deep within her heart.
Su Nian’s heart suddenly trembled.
It was as if countless fine needles stabbed into her heart at once.
A chill shot up from the soles of her feet straight to her head.
She couldn’t help but shiver, instinctively wrapping her nightgown tighter around herself.
As if that could shield her from Chu Tian’s invasive gaze.
Not only that, she subconsciously wanted to gather her magic and launch a fierce attack at the Horned Demon Bastard in front of her…
‘Calm down!’
‘Su Nian, you must stay calm!’
She repeated this warning to herself over and over in her heart.
She forced herself to calm down as quickly as possible.
On her cool, delicate face, she managed to squeeze out a smile.
That smile was so stiff it was almost comical.
She bit lightly on her cherry lips, her voice as soft as a mosquito’s buzz:
“I… this humble woman is a bit tired and would like to rest early.”
There was a barely noticeable tremor in her words.
It was the fear and disgust she struggled desperately to suppress.
With every cycle, she rushed toward the flames like a moth, trying to change her fate.
But every time, she failed.
Sometimes, things even got worse.
This time, she had decided to endure for now and quietly wait for the Void Beast to arrive.
Waiting for that sliver of hope.
“Rest?”
A deep voice echoed in the silent room, like a cello at midnight, carrying a hint of amusement and mockery.
Chu Tian slowly raised his head, his handsome, chiseled face curving into a wicked smile.
He looked at Su Nian, his gaze deep.
“Su Nian… little wildcat, do you think I’ll believe that?”
His voice was soft, yet it felt like an invisible blade, slicing through Su Nian’s forced composure.
“Or is it that you want to leave my sight and keep scheming to kill me?”
Chu Tian’s words carried an undeniable sense of oppression.
Su Nian’s heart sank abruptly.
Although the Horned Demon Bastard didn’t have memories from the eleven reversal, and didn’t know she had already reached Saint Level and beaten him so many times, he did know she had used the financial power of Shadowmoon Manor to hire help.
If only… she had waited a bit longer.
“No… I don’t want to kill Master.” Su Nian lowered her head, feeling an indescribable humiliation and shame.
Before this reversal, she would have just gone all out and struck at the Horned Demon Bastard’s face.
Now, she could only call him Master in humiliation.
Chu Tian slowly got up, his tall, upright figure like a towering mountain, radiating invisible pressure.
Step by step, he walked forward and grabbed the leash attached to her collar.
In an instant.
Su Nian felt as if her freedom, dignity, wealth—everything—was once again being dominated by this man in front of her…
“Tonight… I’m not leaving.” Chu Tian pulled Su Nian’s leash, took off his jacket with one hand, and carelessly tossed it onto the chair.
The next moment, Chu Tian, holding the leash attached to Su Nian’s collar, lay down on the bed that used to belong to her, boldly making himself comfortable.
Then, he let out a long breath, slowly closed his deep eyes, as if he truly intended to spend the night here.
Su Nian’s face instantly turned as pale as paper.
Her bright, star-like sky-blue eyes lost all their light.
Her body trembled uncontrollably.
She almost instinctively wanted to turn and run.
This bastard has taken over her bed.
Could this pervert really intend…
It’s fine.
At this point in the reversal, the Horned Demon Bastard had just vented with her help, and he already knew she was on her period.
He probably wouldn’t touch her.
Yes, she had to stay calm, absolutely couldn’t lose her composure!
Su Nian kept telling herself this over and over in her heart, trying hard to steady her wildly pounding heart.
“In that case, I’ll let Master have the bed. This humble woman will sleep on the sofa…” Su Nian decided to take the initiative.
She still wanted to fight for her rights.
As for kicking the Horned Demon Bastard off her bed—forget it…
Not only would it not work, she’d get punished for it!
Since sharing a room was inevitable, as long as she didn’t have to sleep in the same bed as that Horned Demon Bastard, she could barely accept it.
This was her bottom line.
“Come here.”
Chu Tian’s deep voice echoed in the bedroom, carrying an unquestionable command.
At the same time, the collar around her neck was tugged by the leash in the Horned Demon Bastard’s hand.
She was like a pet tamed by the collar, forced to walk over to Chu Tian and be pulled to his side.
Su Nian’s body stiffened for a moment, but after a few stumbling steps, she sat sideways at the edge of the bed.
“Tonight, you’ll sleep with Master…” Chu Tian said softly.
“Sleep! No… no way!” Su Nian shielded her chest with one hand and pressed down the hem of her silk nightgown with the other, gathering her magic and ready to fight at any moment.
“Relax, I won’t touch you. We’re just sleeping, that’s all. But if you do anything else I can’t tolerate, I might not let you off… little wildcat!” Chu Tian suppressed the agitation in his heart and finally spoke.
“Really?” Su Nian subconsciously let out a sigh of relief.
At this moment, even Su Nian herself didn’t realize that when she heard the Horned Demon Bastard say he wouldn’t touch her and they’d just sleep, she actually felt a bit more pleasantly surprised than expected.
She had already forgotten that, before this, her only concern was… even just sleeping in the same bed was crossing her bottom line.
