Su Nian had already noticed that the horned demon beside her was awake.
What kind of look is that?
Is he mocking her disgrace from last night?
Or is he scheming about what new tricks he’ll use to torment her today?
She wasn’t afraid at all…
***
At the same time.
The just-awakened Chu Tian opened his eyes, and his gaze immediately landed precisely on the breathtakingly beautiful girl right beside him.
At this moment, the girl seemed to have just emerged from her own thoughts, her flawless sleeping face still carrying traces of lingering exhaustion and contemplation.
Her long eyelashes fluttered softly like butterfly wings.
Perhaps last night had been too much, for the cheeks that were once as fair as jade were now flushed, like ripe peaches, glowing with an enticing radiance that made one’s heart race.
A few damp, dark green strands of hair clung messily to her forehead and neck, adding a languid charm to her beauty—a beauty that left people awestruck.
Chu Tian looked at the girl before him, and in his deep eyes, an almost imperceptible gentle smile flickered.
Yes, even he couldn’t explain why.
The moment he opened his eyes and saw her lying next to him, he just couldn’t help but want to smile.
A sense of satisfaction and joy he’d never felt before surged from the very depths of his heart like a warm spring.
Just thinking that he completely, thoroughly possessed this once proud and unyielding, pure and dignified, and now utterly surrendered and delightfully responsive beautiful girl beneath him—
He couldn’t help but feel a shuddering thrill and an intoxicating sense of absolute control from the depths of his soul.
Especially last night, watching her go from reluctant resistance, to helpless endurance, to broken sobs, and finally to utter surrender, giving herself up to him…
That feeling of dragging an aloof flower off its pedestal and staining her with his own colors—it was simply addictive, impossible to give up.
His little Nian’er, in the end, belonged to him.
Moreover, he could clearly sense that although Su Nian’s mood after her defeat was rather foul, filled with despair and unwillingness but during the process when the girl finally compromised and was utterly conquered by him, he didn’t absorb any other excessively negative emotions from her besides “Humiliation,” such as disgust or loathing.
In other words Little Nian’er didn’t hate him at least, not physically.
Which made sense—for a woman, it’s only natural to like a man like him.
It seems that [S-Grade Male Charisma (Passive Skill)] was not purchased in vain.
As for this “Humiliation” emotion… no matter how much Su Nian accumulated, it didn’t seem to have much effect on her mental state.
This, he’d confirmed repeatedly through experience.
Chu Tian stared at the delicate face before him, so close, still innocent from sleep yet breathtakingly beautiful, and before he could think, his body moved—he leaned down and pressed her beneath him.
His warm, aggressively dominant lips descended upon the girl’s moist, plump lips, which still carried a hint of sweet freshness.
“Mmm… nn…”
Su Nian blinked in surprise, her sleepy consciousness not yet fully awake.
All she felt was her breath being stolen, and something soft yet domineering forcing its way in.
Then, all she could do was let out faint whimpering sounds, forced to endure this man’s vigorous morning plundering.
She had only just woken up, and already this damned horned demon was kissing her again.
Forget it.
Let him kiss her.
He’d already done much worse things, and it was in… such a wild place.
Yet, as Su Nian’s head was pinned and kissed forcefully by the man, she didn’t know why but being kissed by the horned demon made her body tremble strangely from deep inside, and even… there was that damned tingling, and… it felt good.
It was clearly just a kiss…
“Dingdong, Humiliation Value increased by 6427.”
“Dingdong, Annoyance Value +64327.”
“Dingdong, current Humiliation Value limit will refresh at 5 a.m.”
The cold voice of the System chimed in her mind at just the right time, snapping her out of that trace of wild thought.
‘So the daily limit refreshes at 5 a.m.?’
Su Nian tried to think, even as the horned demon’s lips and tongue tangled with hers.
Makes sense, actually…
If it reset at midnight, that’s when Humiliation Value hits its peak, so it’d be hard to calculate.
She’d already maxed out the two million limit last night, and now, it was probably morning—a new day had begun.
After being pinned by the horned demon and kissed with a near-suffocating force for a good while, Su Nian finally managed to get a breath of fresh air, her little face burning bright red, her eyes shimmering with tears, as she lay limp in his arms, her chest heaving rapidly.
Who could have known, before she could even catch her breath, the damned horned demon lifted himself slowly, looking down at her from above, a mocking smile at his lips as he began, at a leisurely pace, to bring up old debts.
“This Master remembers, yesterday, my little Nian’er swore to make a heartfelt Witch’s Soup for her Master.”
Chu Tian’s face wore a faint, ambiguous smile.
His slender fingers gently played with a strand of her damp hair, curling it around his fingertip.
He looked, unhurried and at ease, at the breathtaking girl in front of him, who was still flushed and breathless from his kiss, her eyes dazed.
“And in the end, this Master waited so eagerly—only to have my little Nian’er come charging in on her mighty Qing-colored Giant Dragon, with her Space-element Spirit Cat at her side, fierce and imposing.”
“With such an entrance, it didn’t seem like you were bringing Master any Witch’s Soup, but rather planning to stew Master alive—bones and all.”
Su Nian’s heart skipped wildly, like a startled cat.
‘Witch’s Soup… this bastard still remembers!’
Wasn’t that just a lie she made up to distract him, so she could sneak attack him more easily?
“Mmm… Mas… Master♥, the… those things in the past… can’t we… can’t we just not bring them up?”
She forced herself to squeeze out a fawning, even a little sycophantic smile.
Her voice was deliberately sweet and soft, with a hint of coquettishness—hoping to bluff her way through.
If she didn’t do this…
She’d just be bullied by the horned demon again!
“Before… before, this slave Nian was too arrogant, daring to oppose you, Lord Horned Demon… this slave Nian has deeply realized her mistake now!”
As she spoke, Su Nian carefully watched Chu Tian’s face for any reaction.
In her heart, she was frantically complaining: ‘That’s right, I did want to stew you! Too bad I failed!’
Chu Tian watched her big, watery eyes darting about, her attitude seemingly earnest, but deep inside gleaming with mischief and defiance, and he felt all the more delighted.
His little Nian’er—even when admitting defeat and begging for mercy—was still so lively and enchanting, so endlessly interesting.
Chu Tian leaned down, his nose nearly touching the tip of hers.
“Oh? Since you know your mistake, why is it that when you first saw your Master, there was neither a proactive good morning kiss nor a greeting? You made Master take the initiative?”
Chu Tian, who’d unconsciously been holding her right hand since last night, squeezed gently.
“Mmm….” Su Nian squinted one pretty eye, raising her tiny fists to her chest as she looked at the man who had so forcefully conquered her…
In the end.
Blushing furiously, her plump, moist lips parted slowly, “Master~♥, good morning.”
