‘Wait a second first, I have to ask the System.,’
“Who is the Human Saintess mentioned in the intelligence?” Su Nian asked in her heart.
She didn’t think it referred to her.
In Red Maple, she had been recognized as a Saintess, but the Church might see things differently.
The Demon Race’s understanding could also be off.
“Master, it refers to a human who possesses powerful abilities to suppress and treat against the Demon Race, and is recognized by the Demon Race as the Human Saintess.”
Su Nian’s heart skipped a heavy beat.
“Ding-dong. According to the Demon Race’s intelligence, the Host hindering the Vanguard Squad’s plan is precisely the Human Saintess.”
As expected!
She had been targeted by the Demon Race…
The two Demon Generals she encountered before were probably sent for this very reason.
They needed her blood to open the Abyssal Gate that had been sealed by the gods.
A place called the “Abyssal Gate” sounded like something that would bring about the end of the world once opened.
She had to stop it at all costs!
Ugh…
Not only had she been captured and claimed by that Horned Demon Bastard, but now she was also being targeted by the real Demon Race?
From the moment she became the “Star-Moon Saintess,” she had been thrust into the center of the storm, becoming the focus of the abyss’s gaze.
Su Nian took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
Fortunately, she had obtained this critical piece of intelligence early through completing quests.
Its value far exceeded 3 million Humiliation Value.
It looked like the days ahead would be even more turbulent.
By the way, she hadn’t asked about the timing yet.
“When exactly is the day of the Blood Moon’s descent?”
“Ding-dong. The Blood Moon appears once every century. The next one will occur in half a year.”
Su Nian was slightly stunned.
She had to find a way to accumulate 100 million Humiliation Value and become a god.
Within half a year, the Demon Race would definitely do everything possible to capture her.
In other words, the Demon Race wasn’t giving her much time.
Only then would she have the strength to confront the entire Demon Race.
But right now she only had a little over 50 million, still short by almost half…
Chu Tian… no… that Horned Demon Bastard was lying there, breathing steadily.
She subconsciously turned her head and looked to her side.
He seemed to still be asleep.
Morning light cast a shadow over him, stripping away the domineering and aggressive aura of the night, making him appear somewhat harmless.
The sunlight outlined the sharp contours of his handsome side profile, and his long eyelashes cast faint shadows beneath his eyes.
It was this very face that, during those two months of amnesia, had made her fall for him, made her heart flutter, and made her utter countless shameful words of love.
And it was this same man who, before that, had humiliated her so cruelly, imprisoned her, and treated her as his possession.
It was also this man who had once again claimed and conquered her last night.
Without the slightest resistance, she had sunk into his…
Su Nian bit her lower lip as an indescribable irritation surged in her heart.
Her current situation was far too complicated.
On one side was the threat from the Demon Race, and on the other was this man she both loved and hated.
The problem was…
The best way to completely resolve the Demon Race’s threat was to… form a deep link with the man in front of her.
At that thought, Su Nian’s face instantly flushed red.
For a brief moment, she even had the idea that quickly farming Humiliation Value this way didn’t seem so bad.
‘Ughhh…,’
No, she couldn’t keep going like this.
She had to regain the initiative, at least so she wouldn’t be so passive in this relationship.
Su Nian lifted the blanket and endured the discomfort in her body as she tried to get out of bed.
However, as soon as she moved, an arm reached over with an irresistible force and pulled her back into that broad, warm embrace.
“Awake?”
The man’s voice, still hoarse from the aftereffects of drinking, came from above her head.
He hadn’t slept for long at all.
Su Nian’s body instantly stiffened.
The shameful scenes from last night flashed uncontrollably through her mind, and her cheeks burned up instantly.
“In such a hurry to run?” Chu Tian’s voice carried a hint of amusement, “That wasn’t your attitude last night.”
“Let go of me.” The girl’s voice was very soft, but her tone was firm.
Su Nian wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
“That was… that was an abnormal state!” she defended herself.
“It’s better now!”
Chu Tian chuckled lightly and tightened his arm even more.
“Really? Then why are you still in my arms?”
“You… you’re the one who won’t let me go!” Su Nian was so angry she wanted to stomp her feet.
“I didn’t use any force.” Chu Tian released his arm, his face full of smiles.
“You can leave anytime. Isn’t it possible that you’re the one clinging to your Master?”
Su Nian was stunned for a moment and realized it was true.
She could have broken free just now, but her body had instinctively craved this warm embrace.
“Be good, let Master hold you for a while.” Chu Tian gathered his courage and said.
For a moment, Su Nian did not stop him from holding her.
She couldn’t help but recall the past two months of their time together while he had amnesia—that gentle and considerate big boy…
Come to think of it, Chu Tian during his amnesia had indeed been very gentle.
Every morning he would prepare breakfast for her, whisper sweet nothings in her ear, and even get all nervous over a single glance from her, asking if she was uncomfortable or unhappy.
Their interactions back then really felt like those of an ordinary couple and the man in front of her was indeed very handsome and pleasing to the eye.
‘What if… Ahh!’
Su Nian, you can’t forget your principles just because he’s good-looking!
Don’t forget your original plans and goals!
Besides.
Now, in addition to the main quest of obtaining 100 million Humiliation Value, she also had to face the Demon Race!
Before this, she hadn’t known that the Demon Race was specifically targeting her—she had thought their attack on the Human Race had simply caught her in the crossfire.
But now it was clear they saw her as a thorn in their side.
She was even the key to opening that Abyssal Gate.
The blood of the Human Saintess… it didn’t sound like a ritual that only needed a little bit of blood.
Perhaps they would capture her and drain every last drop from her body.
No!
If that was the case, she would rather be taken away by the Horned Demon…
She needed to think of a way…
While Su Nian was carefully pondering, the man beside her mischievously slipped his hand into her nightgown and began freely exploring…
She almost rolled her eyes to the back of her head.
What happened to just holding her for a while?
Where was he touching her now?
‘This big jerk!’
“You…” Su Nian was about to protest, but Chu Tian lightly pressed a finger to her lips.
“Don’t move. Let me check if you’re hurt.” Chu Tian said with a serious expression.
Su Nian was madly complaining inside, but her body unconsciously went soft.
Fine, fine.
Since things had already come to this, she would think about serious matters first.
‘Check for injuries, my ass!’
But soon, Su Nian thought of something.
That’s right.
The Demon Race’s crisis…
She could perhaps shift the danger elsewhere.
She might not have much confidence facing the Demon Race alone, but she could make the Horned Demon take the lead.
She felt zero guilt about pitting this guy against them!
Besides, he had said himself that he wanted to deal with the Demon Race.
Moreover, if the Demon Race wanted to capture her, this guy definitely wouldn’t be happy about it.
After all, in the Horned Demon’s eyes, she was now his “possession,” and he naturally wouldn’t allow anyone else to touch her.
But if she were captured and used to open the Abyssal Gate, the Human Allied Army would also be finished.
As for the Human Alliance… although dragging them into it felt a little bad.
So, both the Human Allied Army and the Horned Demon’s forces were things she could use… well, or rather, ride the wave and control!
‘Hehe.’
Ever since she transmigrated, she finally felt a bit like a proper protagonist of this other world.
She was the one in control of everything… yes, the woman in charge!
