“Mental Status: Spirit Road Resilience 61% ↓”
“Ding dong, Humiliation Value increased by 37,457.”
“Ding dong, Annoyance Value +37,457.”
“Ding dong, congratulations Host for completing the Master’s task, gained 100,000 Humiliation Value, and received special equipment S Rank [Magic Headband].”
“[Magic Headband]S Rank: A headband that can freely change color and length according to the host’s needs. When equipped on the “head” slot, it grants +25 magic power and increases spellcasting strength by 25%.”
“When equipped on the “accessory” slot, it decreases spellcasting strength by 50%, reduces physical strength and speed by 80%, and increases Humiliation Value acquisition efficiency by 30%.”
Beneath the desk.
Su Nian listened to the system’s notification sounds, but not a trace of joy surfaced in her heart.
She slowly opened her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.
Finally, she had cheated using various water magic spells to complete the task.
She trembled with rage, wanting to rush forward and bite him, but fearing even more humiliation, she could only curse silently in her heart.
This bastard is nothing but a perverted demon!
“All right, Master is going to take you for a bath, happy now?” Chu Tian said, stretching out his hands to lift the curled-up girl from beneath the desk, closely admiring Su Nian’s exquisitely beautiful (though battle-worn) face.
Her body was suddenly lifted, leaving Su Nian momentarily stunned.
By the time she fully realized what was happening, her back was already pressed against the Horned Demon’s chest, her body seemingly folded as he held her.
Her fair legs, clad in high heels, were raised high.
Coming to her senses, Su Nian instinctively tried to struggle.
However, the Horned Demon Bastard spoke first.
“Don’t move, Miss Su Nian wouldn’t want to be seen like this by the maids, right?”
“Ugh……”
It could only be like this for now.
But everything was far from over.
The battle was not yet decided!
First, she could go search around Mossenburg for evidence of the Horned Demon Bastard’s collusion with the Necromancer.
Second, even if magic couldn’t handle the Horned Demon, she still had three Contract Beasts.
If that failed, she could change her profession!
That’s right.
Since the Horned Demon Bastard could suppress her magic, as long as she amassed enough Humiliation Value, she could directly become a Sword Saint, a Holy Knight, or other powerful warrior.
By then, no matter what demon he was, she would cut him down!
In Su Nian’s daydream, she held a longsword glowing with Holy Light, swinging it with Sword Qi slicing across, cleaving the Horned Demon in two!
Sure enough…… her hands were better suited to holding a longsword.
Not holding the Horned Demon Bastard.
Hmph!
Just as Su Nian’s thoughts drifted, even starting to consider which profession would look coolest to switch into……
She was already carried into the Horned Demon Bastard’s room and then into the adjoining washroom.
Thankfully.
Along the way, no maids appeared.
She hadn’t been discovered.
What a relief.
Actually, for Chu Tian, he would never casually let others see Su Nian’s humiliated state.
Moreover, only by doing this could he threaten Su Nian, right?
If everyone in the manor knew of Su Nian’s “glorious deeds,” how could he keep her under control?
“It’s getting late. After your bath, go to sleep. Tomorrow morning we’ll head to Bai Shui Town near Mossenburg for the investigation,” Chu Tian said, his tone leaving no room for argument.
“Got it.” Su Nian turned her head away, finally enduring it all.
Tonight’s humiliation, Su Nian vowed she would repay a hundredfold in the future!
Could this be the legendary……
No matter.
At least for her, it was a huge blessing—not having to worry about being ambushed in the middle of the night.
In truth, for Chu Tian, he dared not make a move.
In other places, he could maintain rational humiliation of the girl to gather Annoyance Value.
But if it were in bed, he feared any slight movement might cause the primordial power within him to spiral out of control and veer off the main mission—gaining Annoyance Value.
That Horned Demon Bastard truly deserved to die!
That night, after Chu Tian carefully and thoroughly washed Su Nian inside and out, she slept in the Horned Demon Bastard’s room for the first time.
The previous time had been when he barged into her room, usurping her bed!
Although she still felt uneasy, what was different from before was that whenever Chu Tian lay beside her, he was unusually quiet.
No extra movements—just quietly resting.
Strange.
Did the Horned Demon Bastard have some special fetish?
Always fierce like a tiger beneath the bed, but oddly calm in bed… ahem.
***
The next day.
The morning news announced that Magic Feather Fantasy would temporarily halt performances for one week because the Magic Girl Idols had been working hard and needed rest.
Amidst the fans’ wails, Su Nian, wearing the Cloak of Concealment, swaggered past the crowd…
Ready to leave the city!
At the same time, a super-rich tycoon from the neutral city-state, seeing the dazzling Magic Girl Idol through a Shadow Crystal Ball replica, was completely overcome by possessiveness.
Very soon, the task board of the underground Dark Guild updated with a new mission—capture Su Nian—with a bounty of one million gold coins!
