Chapter 401: The All-Female Celestial’s Slave Manifestation

“Ding! The host has obtained 2 million Humiliation Value today, reaching the daily limit.”

Su Nian stared blankly at the intricate magical patterns on the stone tower’s dome, her emotions indescribably complex.

The Humiliation Value was in hand, but what surged in her heart wasn’t the anticipated joy. 

Instead, there was an inexplicable, indescribable feeling.

She had crossed the line once again.

In this tower of glory built for her, by her own enemy…

The ridiculous part was, she couldn’t even muster pure hatred.

After all her mind still held memories of being in love with this man.

Not only that.

The lingering sensations deep within her body, not yet faded, reminded her of the terrifying surrender she had just experienced.

That feeling of not needing to consider anything, of her mind and body being completely dominated by her master, filled her with humiliation, yet also stirred a peculiar thrill.

‘What’s wrong with me? I should be furious, I should resist. Why is my body so honest?’

“Awake?”

Chu Tian’s voice sounded by her ear, low and hoarse, carrying a post-event laziness.

He hadn’t gotten up, still holding her captive in his arms, his large frame pinning her down, making it impossible to move.

Su Nian didn’t answer, merely turning her face to the other side, avoiding the man’s scorching gaze.

Chu Tian turned her face back, not allowing any refusal, “You were the one who took the initiative today.”

Her cheeks were still burning. 

She didn’t dare look him in the eye right now.

“Still angry?” Chu Tian chuckled lightly, his fingers pinching her chin.

Su Nian’s face flushed a deep crimson.

‘This guy, how can he say it so bluntly!’

“That… that was…” Su Nian’s face was red enough to drip blood, wishing she could find a crack in the floor to crawl into.

This bastard, he even remembers such words clearly!

Chu Tian watched her flustered and angry appearance, feeling quite pleased.

He stopped teasing her, rolling over to sit up from the stone platform.

Casually draping his outer robe, the lines of his robust muscles exuded a sense of power in the dim light. 

He then bent down, picked up the Saintess’s Cloak he had roughly torn open, and draped it over Su Nian’s limp body.

Su Nian pulled the cloak over herself, wrapping her body tightly.

“Get dressed. We should head back,” Chu Tian stated.

The cloak still carried his scent, mixed with her own, making her feel inexplicably flustered.

She didn’t dare look at him, keeping her head down as she fumbled to adjust the lace underwear beneath the cloak that she was too ashamed to mention.

Those delicate straps had long since shifted, digging painfully into her skin.

Chu Tian simply stood to the side, watching her clumsy movements with undisguised amusement in his eyes.

“Need help?”

‘Are you kidding? Let this bastard help me adjust my underwear?’

“No!” Su Nian practically shouted.

She’d rather do it herself, slowly!

Su Nian haphazardly arranged her clothes, wrapping herself from head to toe in the Saintess’s Cloak. 

Only then did she support herself against the cold stone wall, her legs trembling as she stood up.

The moment she steadied herself, her body went weak, nearly causing her to fall again.

An arm reached out from beside her just in time, catching her steadily.

“Stubborn,” Chu Tian’s voice held no discernible emotion.

‘Fine, I’ll lean on him for now. It’s not like… it’s not like I have any choice right now anyway. Once I gather a hundred million Humiliation Value and become a deity, the first thing I’ll do is hang this bastard up and beat him!’

7:00 PM.

Outside the Saintess Tower.

Some devout believers had not yet left, gathered in small groups, discussing the day’s miraculous blessing in low voices.

The knights guarding the Saintess Tower were even more dutiful, standing straight at their posts, their eyes vigilantly scanning the surroundings.

Just then, the noble and holy Saintess slowly emerged from the main doors of the Saintess Tower.

The knights stationed outside, seeing Su Nian exit, immediately bowed in salute, “Holy Lady.”

Su Nian wore a perfectly measured expression of weariness and a sacred smile, giving them a slight nod in acknowledgment.

In the eyes of the tower guards, the slight fatigue the Saintess showed was clearly due to the aftereffects of performing the blessing.

After all, releasing a miracle that covered the entire city was extremely taxing on both stamina and magic.

In the guards’ eyes, their admiration for this Saintess grew a few degrees more.

“Holy Lady, you’ve worked hard!”

“Please rest well, Holy Lady!”

The guards’ words were full of reverence, with even the younger guards’ eyes gleaming with excitement.

The truth, however…

The “exhaustion” of their revered Saintess was caused inside the Saintess Tower by her master.

Hearing the guards’ words, Su Nian felt a wave of embarrassment. 

Her cheeks warmed slightly, and her heartbeat became unsteady.

‘This Saintess… if they knew the truth of what happened in the Saintess Tower, they would surely despise me.’

“Everyone has worked hard,” Su Nian’s voice was gentle, “The safety of Academy City is entrusted to you all.”

“It is our honor to serve the Holy Lady!” the guards answered in unison, their voices resounding.

She forced down the panic in her heart, maintaining the dignified posture expected of a Saintess.

Only after Su Nian boarded the carriage returning to Shadowmoon Manor did Chu Tian dispel the magic.

The cold countdown in her mind began flashing mercilessly once more.

“Time until status  is officially activated, remaining: 5 hours.”

The carriage slowly started moving, and silence fell inside the compartment.

‘Only five hours left!’ Su Nian’s heart sank heavily.

If she did nothing and let things proceed… she could almost foresee what she would face five hours from now…
