Su Nian secretly glanced at the five recommended plans the System provided.
Besides the options that would yield the highest Humiliation Value, there were also items like “Xuan’s Woman” and “Live broadcast publicly declaring that she, the Saintess, has already become Mo…”
How could Su Nian dare to keep reading?
She immediately closed the system interface, her face flushed and heart racing, silently cursing over and over: ‘Pervert System!’
Nevertheless, Su Nian was still weighing her options internally.
If no one else knew, and only the Horned Demon Master saw her humiliated side… that might not be so bad…
“..mmm”
A lazy, muffled groan came from beside her.
Chu Tian seemed to be waking up.
Su Nian was startled, like a frightened rabbit.
In a flash of thought, the light screen before her vanished instantly.
She quickly closed her eyes, adjusted her breathing, and pretended to still be fast asleep.
But her heart was still pounding uncontrollably.
A warm, large hand rested on her back, patting gently as if to soothe her.
“Still pretending to sleep?” The man’s voice, husky with the morning, chuckled softly in her ear.
His warm breath sprayed against her ear, sending a series of delicate shivers down her spine.
Su Nian’s body went rigid, her cheeks burning red.
She opened her eyes to meet his deep, smiling black eyes.
Her voice was as faint as a mosquito’s, and her gaze darted away, daring not to meet his.
She could no longer keep up the act.
Her long lashes trembled as she slowly opened her eyes.
“M-Master, good morning.”
In her mind, the crazy “Humiliation Value Plan” the System had just presented was still fresh.
Every single option made her toes curl with shame.
“What are you thinking about, hmm?” Chu Tian pinched the soft flesh of her cheek, his tone playful, “You’ve been distracted since morning.”
“…Nothing!” Su Nian shook her head frantically, her guilt so obvious it only invited more suspicion.
Chu Tian raised an eyebrow but didn’t press further.
He turned over and got out of bed, his finely built upper body bare, heading toward the walk-in closet nearby.
The morning light streamed in through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, outlining his broad shoulders, the smooth lines of his back muscles, and his powerful, explosive waist and abdomen.
Eight-pack abs, an Adonis belt…
Su Nian’s gaze was uncontrollably drawn to him and her throat unconsciously bobbed.
Even though she saw him every day, she still felt her master was so handsome.
And useful, too.
“Ding! Host affection +1. Current affection: 75.”
The System’s notification rang in her mind, snapping Su Nian back to reality.
She slapped her burning cheeks in frustration.
‘It went up again!’
At this rate, forget about Humiliation Value — she’d probably completely fall into this man’s gentle trap.
No!
She had to do something!
Su Nian bit her lower lip, a flash of determination crossing her sky-blue eyes.
Her gaze seemed to linger again on that crazy checklist.
[Plan One: Special Brewed Drink.]Â
[Plan Two: Caged Pet.]Â
[Plan Three: Forbidden Confession.]
‘Which one to choose?’
Even though Plan Four — accompanying him in the identity of a slave — could hide her identity, it would still expose her in front of others.
As for Plan Five — personally defeating the “hero” who came to rescue her, the Saintess — wouldn’t that make everyone see that she was already… ugh…
Being publicly kidnapped was already her limit when it came to being seen by outsiders.
Plan One, Special Brewed Drink, sounded like the easiest to carry out and the least shocking.
She just had to secretly add a little bit of her own… when preparing a drink for him.
‘This System, such a pervert!’
But the humiliating point of this plan was telling him afterward.
Just imagining that scene made Su Nian feel like she’d combust with shame on the spot.
She should be able to earn a decent amount of Humiliation Value, right?
Alright… she’d start with the simplest one.
Su Nian took a deep breath, as if making a major decision.
She threw off the covers, slipped into the slippers by the bed, and padded over to Chu Tian, who had already changed clothes and was about to leave the room.
“Master!”
She threw her arms around his waist from behind.
Her soft body pressed tightly against his firm back, her cheek resting against it.
Her slender arms wrapped around him.
Chu Tian paused in his steps, a little surprised as he looked down at the arms encircling his waist.
“Master… are you going to the study to handle business?” Su Nian’s muffled voice came from behind him.
“Yeah, the Kingdom raided Shadowmoon Manor. Even though the core assets were moved, there are still things to take care of.” Chu Tian replied, his voice involuntarily softening, “What’s wrong? This little wildcat, so clingy this morning?”
“Then… I’ll prepare some drinks and snacks for you, okay?” Su Nian’s voice carried a hint of cautious ingratiation.
The smile at the corners of Chu Tian’s lips deepened, “Nian Nian, you’re really starting to look more and more like the lady of the house. Alright.”
He turned around and pinched her cute little nose, his tone affectionate, “Then I’ll leave it to my little maid.”
Su Nian retorted with a red face, but her voice was soft and unconvincing: “…I’m not a maid!”
Watching Chu Tian’s back as he walked into the study, Su Nian stood there, psyching herself up internally.
‘Su Nian, go for it! For Humiliation Value!’
The castle’s kitchen was even more luxurious than Su Nian had imagined.
Mirror-smooth obsidian countertops, a full set of mithril cookware, and even a small Constant Temperature Magic Array used to store ice transported from the snow-capped mountain peaks.
Su Nian gave the excuse of “I want to personally prepare tea and snacks for my master” to have all the servants leave for a while.
The top-grade coffee beans were plump and glossy, exuding a rich aroma with hints of caramel and nuts.
Su Nian had the “Master-level Coffee Making” skill; she could brew coffee that would make even the King of Red Maple praise it, even with her eyes closed.
But today’s focus was not on the coffee.
With a crisp “crack”, the rich aroma instantly filled the entire kitchen.
Su Nian’s cheeks grew hot as she poured the coffee beans into the grinder.
[Plan One: Special Brewed Drink.]Â
[Description: Prepare a special homemade drink for Master, and after he drinks it, reveal the truth.]
After a brief moment of shame, Su Nian steeled herself.
The kitchen was instantly flooded with a fragrant, intoxicating scent.
Just thinking about how she, like a proper maid, would present a cup of perfectly aromatic latte to her master, with a special “ingredient” added, was already making her feel humiliated…
Su Nian dared not think any further.
She picked up the tray, which held a cup of coffee emitting a flawless aroma, along with a few small cookies she had whipped up using her “Master-level Baking” skill.
With unsteady steps, she walked toward the study to find her Horned Demon Master.
