Early the next morning, Su Nian slowly opened her eyes.
The world did not flood into her field of vision immediately.
What remained in her brain was a pure, heart-palpitating darkness.
In that darkness, only her senses were infinitely magnified.
The man’s steady and powerful heartbeat, his aggressive masculine scent, and the infinitely magnified sensations of touch still left her with a trembling numbness.
She was still shaken.
Just then, a System Notification sounded.
“Ding! Physiological Favorability has reached 90. New states unlocked: Charm Mark lv2, Total Absorption”
Su Nian’s pupils constricted violently.
Her mind went blank for an instant.
Although she had long expected her physiological favorability to break through 90 sooner or later, when the moment actually arrived, she still felt a surge of panic from the bottom of her heart.
With her fingertips trembling slightly, she eventually called up the two lines of text that she didn’t dare look at directly.
[Charm Mark lv2: The Host’s body will manifest charming patterns visible only to the Master, increasing the Host’s physiological attraction and obedience to the Master. (If the Host does not receive the Master’s company for 48 hours, unknown effects will occur.)]
[Total Absorption: Food consumed by the Host will be completely absorbed by the intestines. While the body emits a fragrance, the Charm Mark will also affect…]
Unknown effects, 48 hours.
From now on, she would be like a well-trained pet, unable to leave her Master’s sight for too long.
“Sob, sob, sob…”
That wasn’t all.
The other status had completely changed her constitution…
As expected, none of it was good.
She bit her lower lip hard, forcing herself to move her gaze away from those two humiliating descriptions to the values she cared about even more.
[Mental Favorability: -72]
[Physiological Favorability: 92]
[Current Comprehensive Favorability: 20]
Last night’s storm of sensations, where she had been completely dominated, caused her mental favorability — which represented her long-held hatred and disgust — to soar by more than ten points in an instant, like a flood breaking through a dam.
If this continued would she fall in love with a Horned Demon?
‘No! Impossible!’
Su Nian let out a silent scream in the depths of her heart.
She shook her head forcefully, trying to shake the absurd and terrifying thought out of her mind.
‘It won’t happen! It absolutely won’t!’
Although the comprehensive favorability was at 20 points, that was mainly due to physiological betrayal.
Her mental favorability was still at -72, which was a long way from a positive number!
She comforted herself this way, yet the chill in her heart spread uncontrollably.
In just one night, only one night.
Her self-righteous “cold war” plan had resulted in such a tragic defeat.
Her performance had been as fierce as a tiger, but her results were…
Ridiculous.
It was truly too ridiculous.
She had thought that by using the most thorough ignorance, she could provoke that man, making him perform even more excessive “punishments” on her.
In doing so, she hoped to regain that worn-away hatred and drive the favorability back to its original state.
The result?
The more she did, the more she got wrong.
Those fancy “plans” eventually became catalysts that fueled that bastard’s desire for conquest, becoming sources of inspiration for him to explore new “ways to play.”
All of her struggles and resistance only made the process of him conquering her more interesting.
And she wasn’t very resilient either…
After putting on the blind blindfold, she was easily conquered as the Horned Demon seized her territory…
Su Nian slowly closed her eyes and sighed, ‘Forget it.’
She gave up, she completely gave up on executing any “plans.”
Her previous philosophy was that she would rather make a mistake than do nothing, so she had thought of various ways to “deal with” the Horned Demon to slow the increase in favorability.
From today on, she would change her strategy.
She would rather do nothing than make another mistake!
She would just lie flat, endure, and go through every day in numbness.
Could it get any worse than it was now?
It wasn’t like she could get pregnant…
Oh, crap!
Right, pregnancy.
How could she have forgotten such an important thing!
Su Nian’s fingers slid crazily across the System screen.
Within the vast sea of System rules, she frantically searched for the entry she didn’t dare think about.
Soon, a line of cold text she had deliberately pushed into a corner was unearthed.
[Once Comprehensive Favorability reaches 70, the reproductive function will be unlocked.]
Not long ago, the number 70 had seemed like a distant, unrealistic joke.
But now, after experiencing last night’s defeat and seeing her comprehensive favorability reach 20 points…
That number suddenly didn’t seem so far away anymore.
The thought of her belly bulging day by day…
The thought that she, Su Nian, a man who once stood tall, a Saint Level Magic Tutor revered by ten thousand people, would have a bloated belly and give birth to an offspring for that bastard Horned Demon who imprisoned and violated her…
She felt an inexplicable sense of panic.
‘Ugh…’
Fortunately!
She still had one number that gave her hope.
“Current Humiliation Value: 32.05 million”
That number suddenly lit up in her pitch-black mental world like a lonely lighthouse, casting a weak but unignorable beam of light.
The light dispelled part of the desperate chill.
She had already completed nearly one-third of her goal of 100 million.
This was her only hope for a comeback.
It was the only meaning behind her enduring all of this.
To become a God.
After that, all of this could be rewritten.
All negative statuses would be cleared, the [Lover’s Prison Collar] would disappear, and this damn [Charm Mark lv2] would vanish into thin air.
This also meant that her uncontrollably growing physiological favorability would naturally decrease significantly, perhaps even to zero.
When that time came, she would regain true freedom and dominate everything, never having to care about anyone’s expression ever again.
At that time, she wouldn’t show any mercy to the Horned Demon…
She would definitely let him… see how powerful she was, let him know the consequences of offending and humiliating her!
However, unknowingly, the young woman’s thoughts began to change slightly.
One had to know that Su Nian’s original thought was to kill the Horned Demon after becoming a God, but now, that resolve had slightly loosened.
***
Over the next few days.
Just as Su Nian intended, she stopped her ridiculous “cold war” plan.
She even forced herself to stop paying attention to the glaring favorability values on the System panel.
‘Let it rise. Let nature take its course.’
This had become a race against herself.
As long as the Humiliation Value reached 100 million before the favorability reached 70, she would have a “grand victory.”
Chu Tian saw Su Nian’s change.
At first, he thought it was just a new trick from the little wildcat.
But for several days in a row, the situation remained the same.
The stubborn girl who deliberately gave him the cold shoulder and showed him the back of her head was gone.
In her place was a… stunner who obeyed him and occasionally showed signs of trying to please him.
Last night, Su Nian had even wrapped her long, slender legs — covered in silk stockings — around his waist.
At that moment, Chu Tian clearly felt his heart skip a beat.
This made him very satisfied.
It seemed that the “punishment” from that night was indeed very effective, yielding such good results.
So much so that this little wildcat had been much more obedient for several days.
So that’s how it was.
He seemed to understand.
Su Nian’s previous coldness and anger toward him might not have been real anger.
Perhaps she felt his “variety” was too lacking.
Was it that his methods weren’t forceful enough, that he was too gentle?
This proud, sexy little wildcat said “no” with her mouth, but her body…
It seemed it was time to satisfy his… woman.
