[Yesterday’s Humiliation Value Gained: 1,020,000]
[Current Status: First Experience (Horned Demon), Recognition Lv3, Healthy, Submissive Physique, Corruption: 45%↓, Enchantment Mark (Generating: Transparent State)]
[Favorability: -43↑ (Favorability is judged based on both body and mind.)]
The System had warned that once Corruption reached 40%, the Enchantment Mark would begin to form.
Su Nian hurriedly lifted the pitifully scanty black lace “maid outfit” on her body and looked down at her flat, smooth lower abdomen.
Upon careful inspection, there did seem to be the faintest, almost imperceptible silver transparent patterns gradually forming there, sketching out a blurry outline…
Those patterns… that shape… If she wasn’t mistaken, in the end it would become… her…
Su Nian abruptly shut her eyes, not daring to think further.
Once a man who stood proud and tall, she now had to bear this shameful mark on her body—what utter humiliation!
Luckily, she had gained 1,020,000 Humiliation Value last night.
Seeing that number, Su Nian’s spirits lifted.
The suffocating memories of last night’s unspeakable scenes seemed to fade a little.
She was one big step closer to her goal of one hundred million!
Aside from Corruption, the other value that felt like a bone stuck in her throat was…
Favorability: -43↑.
It was still a negative value, yes, but what was with that glaring “↑”?
Why was it still rising?
She could swear to the heavens that all she felt toward that bastard Horned Demon was loathing, that she wished nothing more than to stomp him underfoot!
How could she possibly have even a shred of favor for him?
So, ruling out her own true will, only two possibilities remained.
Either the System was malfunctioning, or… her body was being uncooperative, betraying her will!
At the thought that her own body might be generating some mistaken feelings amidst humiliation, Su Nian ground her teeth in anger, her cheeks burning uncontrollably.
She dove into her blankets, wrapping herself up like a silkworm cocoon, tossing and twisting on the soft bed as if wrestling an invisible foe.
After quite a while, Su Nian finally poked her head out from under the covers, her golden hair a messy tangle.
She couldn’t just leave things like this.
If her favorability kept rising day after day, what would happen to her?
Unbidden, her mind conjured up illustrations from the romance light novel Amy had lent her…
The beautiful heroine, in the end, with a pregnant belly, hugging the hero’s arm, her face full of happiness…
‘No way!’
Su Nian quickly shook her head.
She, Su Nian, a dignified man in her previous life—even if she had become like this, even if she’d been caught by that bastard Horned Demon—there was absolutely no way she would let that pervert conquer her like this!
As for her body’s increasing favorability…
That was just some genetic reward from the Creator for the sake of procreation.
Su Nian rekindled her fighting spirit.
Favorability might not have any concrete negative effects, but to her, it was particularly important.
She had to find a way to force that damned favorability down…
‘Down hard! But… how? Treat him with cold words? Ignore him?’
But doing so would only bring about harsher “punishments” and even more humiliating incidents.
Humiliation Value was great and all, but she had no desire to raise her favorability any further.
Su Nian wracked her brain, her delicate brows tightly knitted, but could not think of any foolproof solution.
‘Wait!’
Maybe she could… ask for help from outside.
Su Nian’s eyes lit up, like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving reed.
Though she was fairly strong and had a deep understanding of men…
She hadn’t been a girl for long.
When it came to lowering a girl’s favorability toward a man, she was completely ignorant.
She immediately thought of her two close sisters from [Magic Feather Fantasy]—Amy and Lise.
Even though this kind of thing was really… hard to speak about, now that the situation was urgent, she couldn’t care about that!
She quickly unlocked her Magic Phone, skillfully opened the three-person group chat with Amy and Lise, and carefully considered her words.
[Su Nian]: “Amy, Lise, are you there? There’s a… uh, kind of weird question I want… I want to ask you.”
Amy’s reply was almost instantaneous, as lively as ever.
[Amy]: “Nian-baby! My dear Nian-baby! What’s up, what’s up? Is it some world-shaking problem? Just say the word, and this strategist will give her all to help you out! [proud pose emoji]”
Lise’s message came right after, concise as always.
[Lise]: “Miss Su Nian, please speak.”
Su Nian took a deep breath, trying to make her question sound less… strange.
[Su Nian]: “It’s just… if—this is just a hypothetical, okay—if there’s someone you should absolutely hate, even deep down you really detest them, but you suddenly have a tiny bit of… really improper and incorrect feeling toward them, how can you… get rid of those messy feelings?”
She couldn’t possibly mention favorability on a physical level, right?
That would just be too weird… so this was all she could say.
[Su Nian]: “Just… just pure curiosity, I’m asking for a friend.”
There was a short silence on the other end of the screen, making Su Nian’s heart leap to her throat.
[Amy]: “Wao—! Nian-baby, your ‘friend’s’ story sounds juicy! [sparkly gossip eyes emoji] Come on, give us details!”
[Lise]: “This ‘friend’ of yours—does she have blond hair, know magic, and sometimes dance on stage?”
Su Nian’s lips twitched uncontrollably at Lise’s reply.
‘These two!’
[Su Nian]: “No! Don’t go making wild guesses! It’s just… just about an improper favorability! How do you push it down?”
[Lise]: “Maybe try focusing on that person’s flaws, and subjectively magnify them.”
Su Nian touched her smooth chin and thought, ‘The Horned Demon’s flaws were simply endless.. Perverted, obsessive, a bastard, a bully, and far too terrifying in certain… physical respects.’
She knew perfectly well the Horned Demon was a total villain, but the problem with favorability was that it stemmed from her body’s instincts.
Thinking about his faults didn’t seem to help.
[Amy]: “Hey! Isn’t it simple? Tell your ‘friend’ to go look at someone better!”
[Amy]: “Put all her attention on a flawless, dazzling, absolutely perfect handsome guy! Then, no matter how much the previous one struts, he’ll just seem like a clown to her, not worth mentioning!”
Amy got more and more excited as she spoke, suddenly changing the subject.
[Amy]: “Ah! By the way, today is a day worthy of universal celebration, a day to be recorded in the annals of history!”
[Amy]: “The most perfect, most dazzling, most heart-stirring unmarried man in our Red Maple Kingdom—His Highness Third Prince Elvin—is coming to Academy City today! Oh my god! He’s real!”
[Amy]: “I’m telling you, Nian-baby, His Highness’s looks and temperament, that noble grace with just a hint of bewitching melancholy! His strength—he’s already a Grand Magician at such a young age!”
[Amy]: “If you can get your ‘friend’ to see His Highness the Third Prince’s extraordinary bearing with her own eyes, I guarantee she’ll forget that annoying guy in no time! She might even lament how bad her taste was before!”
‘Third Prince? Elvin?’ Su Nian’s heart stirred a little.
Amy’s seemingly unreliable suggestion… on careful thought, did seem to make a bit of sense?
Using a more “outstanding”, more “positive” target to shift her focus, gradually lowering her “favorability” for the other person…
That sounded… like a viable method?
At the very least, it made more sense than her own wild guesses.
But! If that bastard Horned Demon found out about this…
