Chapter 451: The Goddess of the Great Temple, Evening Audience with Master

‘Eep!’

How could she have such a thought?

‘So embarrassing…’

Ripples stirred in the sea of her mind. 

The thought of wanting Chu Tian to continue being her master surged endlessly in Su Nian’s thoughts.

Husband and Master…

One was an absolute master who dominated everything, controlling all her joys and sorrows; the other was an equal partner who treated her with kindness and shared life’s hardships.

Yet both were relationships she desperately desired. 

Two completely different identities, two relationships that made her body tremble with contradiction.

Should she let Chu Tian become her husband, or her master?

Inside the bedchamber, silence reigned.

Chu Tian knelt on one knee, maintaining the pose of a marriage proposal. 

He could clearly see the violent storm raging in the young girl’s sky-blue eyes.

Confusion, hesitation, shyness, and a trace of… desire that even she herself had not noticed.

His heart tightened with each flicker of the girl’s gaze.

Could it be that Su Nian didn’t like him, that she didn’t want to marry him?

No…

He could feel that Su Nian wasn’t unwilling.

She was just… confused about something.

At that moment.

Su Nian’s chaotic pupils suddenly contracted.

A bolt of absurd yet irresistibly enticing lightning split through all the fog in her mind.

She had thought of a brilliant answer that could perfectly fuse her two desires together.

Why choose?

She wanted both—master and husband!

The moment this thought was confirmed, all confusion and hesitation dissipated like smoke. 

In their place came an unprecedented clarity, tinged with a hint of depraved indulgence.

Instead of answering his question, Su Nian gave her answer through actions.

She slid off the soft bed, her movements fluid and resolute. 

The pure white holy dress spread its hem over the black carpet like the only lily blooming in eternal night—holy, yet exuding an enchanting fragrance.

Then, she did something that even Chu Tian had not expected.

Under the man’s stunned gaze, Su Nian’s knees slowly bent. 

She knelt before him.

She extended her trembling hands, lifted the black velvet box containing the ring high above her head, as if holding the most precious sacred relic in the world. 

She responded to his proposal in a completely subversive posture.

‘Mm…’

Happy. She has accepted her master’s proposal. 

She is already his wife. 

So happy.

With a sense of shame and determination that threw caution to the wind, Su Nian raised her head. 

On her face, flushed crimson, there was also another identity…

She uttered that unique title.

“Master Husband.”

“Ding! Host favorability reached 100!”

“Ding! The host mindset has undergone ultimate transformation. Favorability maxed. The host can now manually enable or disable unlocked states such as [Submissive Physique], [Enchantment Mark],[Recognition State].” 

Chu Tian stared blankly at the girl kneeling before him, his eyes like silk threads. 

The almost overflowing, utterly sinking deep love made his mind go blank.

-Boom!

The girl’s gaze made his blood boil….. too seductive!

Deep in Su Nian’s sky-blue eyes, two tiny hearts emitting a pink glow quietly appeared.

Those hearts completely melted away the last traces of struggle and reserve in her eyes.

Only pure, unguarded love and desire remained.

She extended her left hand, her slender fingers trembling slightly from excitement.

Suppressing the storm in his heart, Chu Tian took out the diamond ring symbolizing the eternal covenant and solemnly placed it on her ring finger.

The cool metal touched her warm skin, sending a shiver through her.

Then, she raised her head and offered her kiss.

This kiss was not passive endurance, nor humiliated struggle.

It was the girl’s active response.

After a long time, their lips parted.

Su Nian gasped violently, pressing her burning cheek against his chest, feeling his equally wild heartbeat.

“Master Husband…” Her voice was soft, with a touch of tears, filled with indescribable grievance and dependence.

Facing her master husband who had placed the ring on her, she also had to give something in return…

The next moment.

Su Nian extended her fair palm. 

Vast divine power gathered in her palm, light swirling.

A familiar item materialized out of thin air, appearing before them.

[Lover’s Prison Collar].

Previously, because she was immature and hadn’t faced her true feelings, she had destroyed the collar that her master had put on her.

Now, she would use her own divine power to recreate it with her own hands.

Su Nian’s face flushed red, gathering all her courage, she looked up at him.

“Master, put it on me.”

“Don’t be too gentle with me.” Her voice grew softer but clearer.

“Still… like before… no, even more than before… bully me, conquer me…”

“I… I want to become your possession, both body and soul…”

She spoke incoherently, laying bare the deepest, most shameful desires in her heart without reservation before the man she loved most.

At this moment, she was no longer the lofty deity.

Nor the forced-to-submit saintess.

She was simply… her master’s.

Chu Tian could no longer suppress the ecstasy and excitement inside him.

He took the collar and personally fastened it around the young girl’s snowy white, slender neck.

“Click.”

A soft sound, like the lock of fate, completely sealed.

Chu Tian once again grasped the chain connected to the collar.

But this time, it was Su Nian’s willing choice.

“As you wish.”

His voice was hoarse, filled with desire suppressed to the extreme.

As his words fell, Chu Tian abruptly stood up, scooped the kneeling Su Nian into his arms, and strode toward the huge bed.

He threw the girl onto it.

The soft mattress bounced her body high, then sank deeply.

Before she could react, a tall figure loomed over her.

Those deep eyes rekindled the familiar desire to conquer, enough to burn everything.

“Ding! The host has manually activated states [Submissive Physique], [Enchantment Mark], [Recognition State].”

The hands that used to forcefully pin her wrists now gently yet firmly gripped the slender ankles of the beautiful girl lying on the bed.

***

Three months later.

This place was the highest heaven unreachable by mortals, an eternal kingdom cut off from the hustle and bustle of the mortal world.

An endless sea of light, flowing radiance. 

It was Su Nian’s exclusive Divine Kingdom.

Su Nian hovered in the temple space at the center of the cloud sea.

Holy light rippled like water at the hem of her robe. 

A pair of jade-white bare feet lightly tapped the void, untouched by dust.

She wore a divine robe woven from moonlight and starlight. 

Her sky-blue eyes now showed no trace of mundane emotion, only the majesty of a deity and the compassion that looked down upon all beings.

Her expression was solemn and indifferent. 

Those eyes that once held a myriad of emotions now only contained divinity.

Beneath her divine throne, rows of figures knelt on one knee.

They were angels. 

With pure white wings on their backs, flawless handsome faces, clad in molten-gold battle armor, with pure holy light shining through the gaps in the armor.

Created by her own hands, born from light eggs—the most loyal servants and the most fearless warriors.

Inside their bodies flowed a vast power sufficient to purify all filth in the world. 

They were the embodiment of holy light, the guardians of order.

And the leading six-winged angel was named Michael. 

He was the first angel she created and the strongest commander of the angel legion.

Michael raised his head, looking up at his creator. 

His golden eyes burned with fervent worship and boiling battle intent.

His voice was loud, each syllable containing the power of holy light, stirring layers of echoes in the empty temple.

“Mother Goddess! Now our angel legion has taken initial shape. On the other end of the mortal world, there is an evil, chaotic dark energy dwelling.”

“It is the Demon Race from the Demon Realm!”

Another angel immediately interjected, voice clear, sharp as a drawn sword.

“Their very existence is a blasphemy against the world you protect!”

“Mother Goddess, with our current strength, we can completely crush the Demon Realm! Even that newly ascended evil Demon King will surely turn to ashes under your radiance!”

“That’s right. We have already gathered intelligence on the Eight Demon Generals through low-level demon beasts infiltrating the human world.”

“We beg Mother Goddess to issue a divine decree, allowing us to cross the border and attack the Demon Realm!”

The angels’ voices rose one after another, eventually merging into a mighty torrent.

“For the eternity of light!”

“For Mother Goddess’s glory!”

Their pleas for battle were filled with holy, unquestionable righteousness.

However, Su Nian, seated on the divine throne, had a barely perceptible violent fluctuation deep in her compassionate and indifferent eyes.

‘Crush the Demon Race? Reduce that so-called evil Demon King to ashes?’

Without warning, her mind was occupied by a completely different scene.

In that luxurious Demon King’s bedchamber, the man called the “evil Demon King” by the angels stood before her. 

And she, the newly ascended “Goddess of Wisdom,” was kneeling obediently before that man…

His hot breath, mixed with his unique aggressive scent, sprayed onto her ear.

Then, the Demon Lord pulled the chain of the collar and whispered in her ear: “Put your hair up.”

The sacred expression on Su Nian’s face did not change at all.

She lowered her eyelids, looking down at the eager angel legion below. 

But the fingertips under her divine robe curled uncontrollably.

“Mother Goddess, we have confirmed that the Demon King recently launched so-called live broadcasts, threatening the entire human world with a million demon soldiers. His intentions are unforgivable!”

“Such evil scum, if not eradicated soon, will surely become a great calamity for the world!”

“Our angel legion was born precisely for this purpose!”

“Please give the order, Mother Goddess!”

Su Nian slowly stood up from the divine throne, barefoot, stepping on the cool cloud sea floor.

On her solemn and indifferent face, divinity faded. 

A moving blush quietly crept onto her cheeks, quickly spreading to her ears.

‘Order her angel legion to trample the Demon Realm and kill her master husband?’

‘What a joke!’
