After a brief dead silence, thunderous cheers erupted instantly!
“Even though her clothes and makeup are a bit different, I can still tell—it’s the Holy Lady!”
“The Holy Lady escaped!”
“The gods be praised! Our light has returned!”
Lanuer Hongfeng raised his longsword, his voice trembling, “Holy Lady!”
The coldness on his face melted in an instant as he shouted in excitement.
The army boiled over, the people boiled over, and hope reached its peak in that moment.
In front of the magic water livestream screen, countless people fell to their knees, tears streaming down their faces.
“As expected of the Holy Lady—truly powerful!”
“Thank the gods! The Holy Lady has been saved at last!”
“That demon must have been defeated by the Holy Lady!”
However, Su Nian, standing atop the pass, paid no heed to the deafening cheers.
Her sky-blue eyes were as calm as a pool of stagnant water—no joy, no emotion, not even a single ripple.
She merely gazed quietly at the ecstatic, hope-filled faces below.
Then, she raised her hand.
Everyone thought she was about to wave to them.
The next second.
A torrent of water-element magic gathered in her palm, coalescing into a thick blue torrent that slammed into the very front of the army with the force of a thunderbolt!
“Boom—!”
The earth-shaking explosion deafened all.
The sudden attack instantly shattered the front lines.
Men and beasts tumbled, screams filling the air.
Dozens of adventurers at the very front, along their magic beasts, were blasted away by the spell.
Fortunately, Su Nian didn’t intend to kill—she was only making her stance clear.
For a moment, the world fell silent.
The thunderous cheers were cut off abruptly.
Everyone stood frozen, their ecstatic expressions congealing into shock and confusion.
“Wh…what’s going on?”
“Why is the Holy Lady attacking us?”
“It must be a mistake! A misunderstanding!”
The blood drained from Lanuer Hongfeng’s face.
He stared fixedly at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure on the pass, his voice trembling.
“Holy Lady… are you being controlled by that demon?!”
That was the only explanation in everyone’s mind.
Finally, Su Nian spoke.
Her voice, amplified by magic, rang clearly across the entire battlefield and reached every corner watching the broadcast.
That voice was cold, clear, devoid of any emotion.
Her high heels made crisp clicks on the rock.
“I… lost in my duel against that man. According to the contract, I must stay by his side and obey his orders.”
Su Nian’s fingertips trembled slightly as she endured the humiliation in her heart, but she forced herself to continue.
Fortunately, she didn’t say she had willingly fallen—only that she couldn’t defeat him, had no choice, and thus it came to this.
“Your actions are meaningless. Right now, I am following my master’s orders to repel you.”
As soon as the words left her mouth, Su Nian was overwhelmed with shame…
How had she unconsciously said the word “master”?
‘Wuwuwu… Is it because I’ve gotten used to it?’
After the duel, she still lost, and now she was calling that big bad guy master…
How embarrassing.
In everyone’s eyes, a dignified Holy Lady, tied up…
-Boom!
These words were ten thousand times more devastating than the spell just now, slamming into everyone’s hearts.
The light in their hearts, the hope of humanity, the girl as holy as a god—she herself admitted to obeying that “master.”
Lanuer Hongfeng swayed violently, nearly falling from his warhorse.
He gritted his teeth so hard the veins bulged on his forehead.
“Impossible! This is impossible!”
The Heroes of the Five Capitals cried out in unison.
“Holy Lady! Please come with us! We’ll protect you even at the cost of our lives!”
“Don’t stay by that demon’s side!”
Below, countless soldiers fell to their knees, tears streaming.
The people’s cries, curses, and desperate wails merged into an ocean of lament.
“Why… why did this happen…”
“Holy Lady… I beg you…”
“Our hope… is gone…”
In front of the magic water livestream, countless people broke down sobbing.
Some smashed the crystal screens, some collapsed to the ground, some let out beast-like howls of grief.
Meanwhile, on Chu Tian’s side, the Annoyance Value System was flooded with messages about annoyance value increases.
On the other side.
Su Nian watched it all.
Her heart pounded terrifyingly fast but she didn’t stop.
Because this was her final task.
The elements in the air vibrated wildly, space began to distort.
“Roar—!”
A heaven-shaking dragon cry echoed through the sky.
The colossal Wind Elemental Holy Dragon appeared out of nowhere, unfurling its sky-obscuring wings.
It was Little Green!
The mighty dragon’s pressure swept outward.
Countless warhorses neighed in terror, retreating in panic.
Under everyone’s horrified gaze, Su Nian coldly issued her final command.
The giant dragon opened its massive maw, spewing a destructive gale dragon breath—but not aimed at the crowd.
The dragon breath slammed into the ground in front of the army, carving a vast, bottomless, insurmountable chasm.
At the same time, a brilliant light-element barrier rose, completely separating the two sides.
This was a most resolute expulsion.
“Ding! The host has completed Plan 5: The Fallen Holy Lady!”
“The ultimate betrayal and shame have brought you 50 million Humiliation Value!”
“Ding! Detected that the host’s total Humiliation Value has exceeded 100 million!”
“Conditions met… Opening divine promotion for you!”
“Boom!”
Su Nian’s body erupted in brilliant golden light!
The radiance pierced the sky, scattered the clouds, and a sacred pressure swept out like a tsunami.
Everyone stared in stupefaction at the scene.
The fallen Holy Lady, after shattering everyone’s hopes with her own hands, under the gaze of the multitudes—
Begins to become a god!
Within the pillar of light.
Su Nian closed her eyes.
Her body was wrapped in a scalding, skin-like force.
From blood to bones, from soul to every inch of skin, a qualitative transformation occurred.
Magic was no longer an external force to be summoned—it became a part of her body, as natural as breathing.
Time seemed to slow down.
She could sense the pulse of every living thing within a hundred miles, see the elemental currents flowing through the air, hear the churning of magma deep within the earth.
This was the power she had dreamed of day and night.
The light slowly receded and Su Nian opened her eyes.
This was a god’s perspective.
Deep within her sky-blue pupils swirled a brilliant golden halo.
She looked around, feeling her current state.

The submissive physique and the enchantment marks that had troubled her so much were gone.
But why was this negative status still here?
She supposed it was an ability for raising a child, not exactly a negative status.
Other than that…
Why hadn’t her affection level dropped?
She could just go and defeat her mas… that big bad guy.
Never mind.
She will return to the castle now and will defeat the Horned Demon Master!
