Head Maid Rita and maid Emma were both slightly stunned upon hearing Master’s rare praise.
Usually, the Master always wore a cold expression, as distant and unapproachable as an iceberg.
Not to mention praise, even a confirming glance was something they seldom received.
Tonight’s late-night meal, although meticulously prepared to suit Master’s picky tastes, was no different in ingredients or method from usual.
They simply couldn’t understand why the Master would suddenly speak words of praise.
‘Could it be… because Miss Su Nian had just come by?’Â
Emma cast a secret glance at Head Maid Rita beside her and saw that she wore a similarly thoughtful expression, which only strengthened her suspicion.
It must be Miss Su Nian’s visit that put Master in such a good mood, leading to this unprecedented compliment.
After all, Miss Su Nian was Master’s beloved, and every time Master saw her, he would be especially happy, causing his attitude toward them servants to soften as well.
“You two… you may go first…”
Chu Tian’s voice sounded somewhat different from usual, clearly because Su Nian was under the desk.
“Yes, Master.”
Head Maid Rita and maid Emma dared not ask further or look up at Master’s face.
They simply bowed respectfully before slowly exiting the study, gently closing the heavy rosewood door behind them. Â
This was the basic rule for their survival in Shadowmoon Manor.
Master’s thoughts were not something they maids could casually speculate on.
They only needed to silently carry out Master’s orders and fulfill their duties—that was enough.
As for everything else,  the more you know, the faster you die. Â
Once the maids left, the study returned to silence.
Only the silver moonlight pouring through the sheer curtains cast mottled shadows across the room, like a thin veil, faintly outlining the two intertwined figures hidden beneath the desk, hazy and intimate.
Beneath the desk, Su Nian’s heartbeat still pounded like a drum, fierce and rapid, as if about to burst out of her chest. Â
Her vividly red lips stood out clearly against the purple-black background, striking and ambiguous…
She had originally thought that the Horned Demon Bastard called the maids to bring the late-night meal just to humiliate her again, just like what had happened earlier in the dressing room.
He had figured out that she dared not let others see her in this humiliating state, so he bullied her without restraint.
But she never expected that, even after the maids left, the Horned Demon Bastard would continue—
Endlessly!
Su Nian cursed inwardly, wishing she could rush out and die together with that bastard, even if it meant paying with her life, just to make him pay the price he deserved.
… But she couldn’t.
“Ugh…”
Not to mention whether she had the strength now to perish alongside the Horned Demon.
Even if she fought desperately, the most likely outcome would be self-inflicted disgrace.
Given her current situation, if she acted rashly, she might completely enrage the Horned Demon Bastard, causing him to torment her even worse.
At that point, she would not only suffer unbearable humiliation, but might also be locked away in the Dungeon, losing her freedom forever.
Moreover…
Her current condition was far from ideal.
With her fragile, powerless body combined with her breathtaking beauty and figure, and the identity blessings of both an idol and a magic idol, if the Horned Demon really wanted to do something to her, she simply had no power to resist.
But…Â Â Â
After a long while.
‘Ah, forget it!’Â
Chu Tian was somewhat riled up—he certainly minded these things.
No matter what, he couldn’t let Su Nian think he was incompetent!
After demonic transformation, his talent was extraordinary.
Although in terms of stamina he wasn’t as good as “cheating” Su Nian anymore, he still had other advantages…
