Chapter 194: A Girl’s First Experience: Horned Demon

Mm…

No… It’s not because of physical desire.

The reason she felt such a sense of loss… maybe it was because, if the Horned Demon Bastard left, then all the humiliation she’d just endured, all that struggle in her heart, would have been for nothing?

It would ruin her revenge plan, and hinder her from gaining Humiliation Value.

Yes!

That’s… that’s exactly why.

Su Nian hurriedly comforted herself in her heart, forcing herself to blame her shameful, physical cravings on her grand plan for revenge.

The Horned Demon Bastard thinks he’s won, but he doesn’t know—she’s only lying in wait by his side…

Enduring for now, only to one day gain the strength to utterly crush him!

At that very moment.

When Su Nian saw the Horned Demon Bastard’s strong frame really about to get off the bed, her carefully constructed mental defenses cracked a little.

Before she could think, instinct and calculation overlapped in a strange way, driving her to blurt out: “Wait!”

Her voice was laced with an urgency and trembling even she didn’t notice.

“I… I’m willing…”

It seemed to take all the strength in her body just to force those fractured, nearly inaudible syllables out of her throat.

***

The moment she spoke, Su Nian wished she could bite off her own tongue.

Her hands were tied; she couldn’t even cover her face, and could only bury her burning cheeks in the bedding, like an ostrich—pretending this would somehow cut her off from everything.

‘Wuwuwu’

It was this man before her, the one who’d defeated her, made her a girl, destroyed the life she’d once known.

The lifelong enemy she’d staked everything to defeat, vowing to grind his bones to dust!

Yet now, she had… she had actually said “I’m willing” out loud!

Even if it was for the plan, for Humiliation Value, this was… this was far too direct. 

She should have been subtler.

It was almost like… she couldn’t wait!

“Ding-dong, Spirit Road has decreased. Current Spirit Road: 56% ↓”

(When Spirit Road falls below 50%, it will transform into the Road of Depravity)

The System Notification in her mind jolted her awake a bit.

Mm…

56%?

Only 6% more… and she’d reach the 50% threshold.

The Road of Corruption… what did that mean?

She didn’t dare think too deeply.

But there was still a chance!

As long as tonight… as long as she could squeeze enough Humiliation Value from this Horned Demon Bastard to transform her strength, she still hadn’t lost!

As long as she could finally defeat the Horned Demon Bastard…

Then no one would ever know that the famous Magic Girl Idol Su Nian had once been imprisoned and possessed—a dark chapter in her history.

Besides, now that she lived in Shadowmoon Manor as its mistress, and with the identity of “Mo Yuan Sir’s” cousin, she could legitimately lay claim to the manor’s fortune.

Hmph!

The Horned Demon Bastard must be feeling pretty pleased with himself right now.

He’d never imagine that every bit of humiliation he inflicted on her at this moment would be transformed into Humiliation Value, paving the way for her future revenge!

‘Take this… Horned Demon Bastard!’

‘Let your arrogance and desire forge my strength!’

Yet Su Nian had no idea that while she was gaining Humiliation Value through her suffering…

The Horned Demon Bastard was also gaining Annoyance Value.

When Chu Tian heard Su Nian’s “I’m willing,” his body, which had been ready to rise, suddenly froze.

He turned his head slowly. 

In his deep eyes, the feigned regret from before was instantly replaced by wild joy and an even hotter flame.

A surging desire to possess and conquer erupted like magma.

He hesitated no more, lowering himself toward the exquisite girl tied to the bed.

***

Twenty minutes later.

***

The next day, at noon.

Shadowmoon Manor.

The maids were gossiping about Mo Yuan Sir and Miss Su Nian, noting that neither had left their room at this hour, all wearing knowing smiles as they went about their duties.

Inside the master bedroom.

Su Nian was awakened by a wave of soreness in her body.

But what she couldn’t face most of all was…

She had actually said those… those words that, even now, made her cheeks burn and filled her with such shame she wished she could sink into the ground.

‘Oh heavens!’

Su Nian snapped her eyes shut, her body curling involuntarily. 

She wished she could cast a Forgetfulness Spell and erase every bit of this humiliating memory.

Just what had she done!

Now fully awake, Su Nian was hit by this belated, all-consuming shame, and her face grew so hot it was shocking.

If she’d known this would happen, she would never have spoken up to keep that bastard… never have said “I’m willing”…

And she remembered clearly: once passion took over…

The System’s Notification had sounded several times, and she’d already hit the daily limit for Humiliation Value!

Which meant all those things afterward… those entanglements that made her blush and want to disappear, couldn’t even be excused as “gaining Humiliation Value to grow stronger for revenge.”

Then what about those humiliating reactions later, those uncontrollable responses… what were those?

She had once… been a proud, upright man!

How could she, when facing the Horned Demon Bastard who ruined everything, react in such… such utterly shameless ways that even she despised herself?!

Su Nian took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and sank her mind into the System, pulling up last night’s log.

‘Maybe… maybe the System was malfunctioning! Yes, that had to be it!’

She quickly skipped over the glaring records of Humiliation Value gain.

Her eyes locked precisely onto the pieces of information that troubled her most now.

Yes, these ones.

“Ding-dong, detected intense fluctuation in Host’s mental state, Spirit Road resilience 52% ↓”

(When Spirit Road falls below 50%, it will transform into the Road of Depravity)

“Ding-dong, Host’s affection for First Experience and Recognition objects has increased, now at -60 ↑.”

The Road of Depravity…

Affection?!

Seeing those words, Su Nian’s cheeks flared red, even hotter than when that bastard had tormented her last night, almost steaming.

‘What the heck is this? Affection?!’

How could she possibly feel even the slightest bit of affection for the Horned Demon Bastard she wanted to grind to dust?

Absolutely impossible!

As if hearing her inner protest, the System’s cold Notification echoed in her mind, with a hint of mechanical explanation.

“Ding-dong, Host’s current affection is divided into mental and physical parts. At present, the majority of affection originates from the physical side.”

Physical affection…

Su Nian froze for a moment, then felt an even more complicated, wordless shame and anger welling up inside her.

Fine, that explanation…

Somehow sounded a little more reasonable—it at least didn’t mean her spirit had betrayed herself.

But… that meant her body, without her even realizing it, had already “switched sides”?

What did that make her?

Her spirit was still defending the high ground, but her body had already flung open the city gates to welcome the enemy?

She took a deep breath, forcing herself to ignore that infuriating “affection,” focusing instead on the even more alarming number.

‘Spirit Road resilience… 52%.’

‘Only 52% left!’

‘And the System said, below 50% it would transform into… the Road of Depravity.’

“Depravity…’

‘What exactly did the System’s so-called “Road of Corruption” mean?’

Would she completely lose herself, become that Horned Demon Bastard’s plaything? 

Or… would it be something even more terrifying?

No, she absolutely couldn’t let that happen!

Last night… everything that happened, as humiliating as it was, wasn’t entirely without gains.

She’d obtained a million Humiliation Value!

And… she hadn’t been totally passive.

At the very least, it was her “initiative” that made that Horned Demon Bastard stay last night.

That proved she wasn’t completely unable to affect the Horned Demon Bastard’s choices.

Yes, that’s it.

You know, the price of Saint-level Magic Mastery was also a million before.

That means she could use this million Humiliation Value to buy a second profession in the System Shop, and it would also be…

Saint Level!

‘Horned Demon Bastard, just you wait!’

As Su Nian buried her head, plotting her grand revenge, a deep, magnetic voice sounded from overhead.

“Awake?”
