“Eek—”
Su Nian was caught completely off guard, a soft cry escaping her lips as her body jerked backward.
Her once lively, sparkling eyes suddenly lost focus.
Inside the dilapidated church, the light was dim.
A few rays of sunlight filtered through holes in the dome, casting mottled shadows on the ground and barely illuminating the area before the two of them.
Originally, Su Nian had been calculating how to gain trust while also increasing her Humiliation Value.
But at this moment, her mind went “buzz,” and all her schemes and plans, every countermeasure she had thought of, were completely thrown into chaos and vanished.
The Horned Demon Bastard’s sudden “ambush” was like a bursting flood, instantly drowning her reason and causing her previously taut nerves to snap entirely.
Those large hands, rough with calluses, felt like two blazing flames wrapping around her from behind, holding firmly onto the two most sensitive spots in front of her…
Touching them without any restraint.
After a brief moment of blankness, Su Nian’s consciousness gradually returned.
She could feel her heart pounding wildly, as if it was about to leap out of her throat.
Her clear, bright sky-blue eyes reignited with the flame called “shame and anger.”
‘This Horned Demon Bastard! Always with this trick! Just wants to bully me… so disgusting!’
Even though she used to be a boy, having to be treated this way made Su Nian feel utterly humiliated—thankfully, no one else knew her true identity.
Otherwise, she would be utterly ashamed to death.
She clenched her silver teeth, itching to turn around and give the Horned Demon Bastard a fierce blow.
What made her even angrier and more furious was…
Even though the Horned Demon Bastard held those two weak points firmly from behind, she should have felt disgust.
She knew perfectly well that to gain trust and have the Collar removed, she would have to pay some “price.”
She had prepared herself—he might make unreasonable demands or do humiliating things to her like before.
But she never expected the Horned Demon Bastard to be so “direct.”
What shocked her the most and made her feel unbearably ashamed and humiliated was that her body involuntarily felt…
An abnormal… pleasure.
“Ding dong, absorbed humiliation emotion, Annoyance Value +25,241.”
“Ding dong, Humiliation Value increased by 25,241.”
The System Notification echoed in Su Nian’s mind, as if mocking her.
‘Damn it! The sensitivity of this body was just impossible to understand.’
Especially in front of the Horned Demon Bastard.
She had to hurry and gain his trust to remove the Collar and then fight him!
Otherwise…, she dared not imagine what might happen if things continued like this.
Su Nian silently swore in her heart that she must break free from this Horned Demon Bastard’s control as soon as possible and make him pay for what he had done.
At the same time, she saw the hands that had “ambushed” her begin to move further…
Those restless hands had to be stopped immediately!
“Ma… master~”
Thinking quickly, Su Nian hurriedly spoke, her voice faltering and tinged with a faint breathy charm.
She closed one eye, her face already flushed pink, now blushing so deeply it looked almost painful.
“The town’s resi… uh… residents are still waiting for me to go save… save them.”
She struggled to calm her breathing, trying to make her voice sound more natural, but the strange sensations her body sent made it difficult to focus.
Chu Tian’s movements halted.
Those hands that had been rampaging slowly withdrew, seemingly reluctant to let go.
‘Fine.’
That brief moment was enough for him to savor for a long time.
There would be plenty of opportunities later.
The sudden loss of control in his actions had not caused Su Nian to lash out at him, which was already something to be grateful for from Chu Tian’s perspective.
There was still a long way to go.
He was in no hurry.
Su Nian quickly tidied her skirt, nervously tugging at the hem.
Her exquisite face burned as if aflame.
She dared not look into the Horned Demon Bastard’s eyes and instead turned her face to the side.

“There are very few healing mages in this world, especially those representing the Goddess of Light and the Light Magic,” Chu Tian who had moments ago acted like a lecher suddenly became serious, his voice deep and magnetic.
“With such strong Light Magic, you’ll attract a lot of prying eyes and ill intent.”
He looked at Su Nian, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes, as if he genuinely cared for her.
“Wear the Cloak of Concealment properly. Don’t let anyone know that the Magic Girl Idol Su Nian of Magic Feather Fantasy is the powerful Light Magic healer who treats the people of Bai Shui Town.”
Chu Tian pointed at the Cloak of Concealment Su Nian had taken off when administering medicine earlier.
Although Su Nian was an idol in Academy City, she was also a mage, which was strange in itself.
At least, the mage identity she had in Academy City was common among water and fire element users.
But Light Magic mages were extremely rare.
Coinciding with the passing of the previous Saintess, whose soul returned to the Goddess of Light, and the new Saintess yet to be born, girls across the land with Light Magic talent might be Saintess candidates, and there had already been multiple cases of Light Magic mages being attacked.
Even before this, Light Magic mages were prime targets for Slave Hunting Teams, bandits, or robbers.
Though they had powerful healing abilities, their combat strength was generally average, making them priority capture targets.
A healing girl who might be the future “Saintess” was a hot commodity, naturally attracting much unwanted attention.
Su Nian obediently nodded, acting like a well-behaved kitten, gentle and cute.
She blinked her big, watery eyes at Chu Tian, but inwardly she cursed:
‘The Horned Demon Bastard actually cares about others? Could it be… he was really “touched” by me?’
‘Hmm…No.’
Su Nian suddenly realized, furrowing her brows as if recalling some unpleasant thought.
This Horned Demon Bastard only saw her as his possession, his trophy—not wanting others to snatch or covet her.
‘Hmph!’
Besides, he seemed to be a special kind of demon who needed to absorb negative emotions, so of course he wouldn’t want his “source of food” to get hurt.
‘Truly a cunning demon!’
Su Nian calculated in her heart, knowing she wouldn’t naively think the Horned Demon Bastard’s “concern” was out of kindness.
“Go ahead. I’ll watch from afar. In front of the townsfolk, I won’t show myself.” Chu Tian leaned against a broken pillar in the church, arms crossed, looking relaxed as if he had everything under control.
Su Nian nodded, saying nothing more, quietly stepping out of the church doors.
But inside, she silently scoffed.
The Horned Demon Bastard said he’d “watch from afar,” but if you didn’t know better, you’d think he was protecting her.
‘Pfft! He’s just spying on me.’
She knew the Horned Demon Bastard would never truly let her leave.
The reason he kept a distance was simply not to reveal himself in public.
Su Nian stepped out of the church area, sunlight pouring down from the sky.
Her golden hair reflected a faint halo of light, as if draped in a divine glow.
Light Magic elements floated around her, adding a touch of sacred aura.
