In the second half of the night, she was clearly already exhausted, her throat hoarse from crying, unable to even make a sound to beg for mercy.
Her Humiliation Value had long since reached its maximum and stopped increasing.
Yet he still refused to let her go…
Tossing and turning, tormenting her again and again, as if never satisfied.
Shame, anger, grievance, along with the lingering soreness and that unspeakable strange sensation throughout her body, all tangled together.
The complex emotions made her eyes sting with heat, and the warm liquid nearly fell uncontrollably once more.
The stifling resentment in her heart mixed with endless humiliation, and even a trace of grievance she herself was unwilling to admit, churned violently within her.
She instinctively raised her aching, limp arm.
Aimed in the direction the sound was coming from, she weakly gave a little punch.
But her strength was as light as a feather.
“You energetic big bad wolf!”
Her voice was barely more than a mosquito’s buzz, thick with nasal congestion and traces of leftover sobbing.
Rather than a scolding, it sounded more like a pouting complaint steeped in grievance.
Her punch had no strength at all, landing gently on his firm, warm chest—just like a kitten pawing in a spoiled, coquettish way.
No sooner had she uttered the words than Su Nian was hit by a wave of regret.
That was terrible.
She hadn’t even managed to sound fierce…
And this hoarse, soft voice—why did it sound so much like… like she was being coy?
She should have called him a heartless beast!
A cold-blooded demon!
Yes!
Forget it…
She didn’t even have the strength left to curse anymore; it wasn’t worth wasting her breath.
With just a little movement, Su Nian’s body was immediately assaulted by intense soreness and swelling in every limb and joint.
A certain unspeakable, private part ached with an unbearable, tearing pain.
Su Nian couldn’t help but take a sharp, cold breath, her body stiffening instantly.
Her face then flushed a deep red from sheer, overwhelming shame.
She slowly turned her head.
Those beautiful eyes, still brimming with humiliation and tears yet to dry, glared viciously at the man lounging comfortably by the bedside.
Her gaze was icy, carrying a deep, bone-chilling hatred.
This was all his fault!
That bastard!
However, the “big bad wolf” she’d choked out just now, with a sob in her voice, somehow made Demon Lord Chu Tian feel a strange stir inside.
Instead of anger, he actually felt… oddly pleased to be cursed like that.
“This little wildcat really turns me on in a flash.”
He let out a low chuckle, tinged with playful amusement.
“You sure weren’t saying that last night. Let me think, what exactly did you say back then…?”
He deliberately drew out his words, savoring the sight of the girl’s face instantly morphing into panic and distress.
“I think you said… ‘Master, you’re amazing,’ didn’t you?”
“And you said… you were very satisfied, right?”
“Let me think, what else did you say…”
Su Nian’s cheeks instantly flushed scarlet, like a ripe apple, even her ears burning.
She hurried to speak, her voice trembling with embarrassment and anger, trying to cut off his malicious teasing.
“Enough!”
She stared at the man before her, at the wicked, playful curve of his lips.
In that smile, there was mockery, smug satisfaction, and a sense of utter control, as if he were high above everything.
Ugh…
He was clearly teasing her on purpose!
Taking delight in her embarrassment and shame!
Seeing that smug face of the Horned Demon Bastard…
She wanted… she really wanted to punch him hard and smash that detestable face of his.
No, wait…
Her fists couldn’t hurt this thick-skinned brute at all.
She ought to hit him with the most powerful Fireball Spell and roast him to a crisp.
‘Wait.’
‘Thick skin, tough flesh…’
Her fists wouldn’t hurt him…
In the midst of her muddled thoughts, a flash of inspiration struck Su Nian.
She seemed to know what kind of second class she needed now.
In her recent battles with the Horned Demon Bastard, when it came to pure magical clashes, she wasn’t really at much of a disadvantage.
Her Master of Fire Magic and Water Magic affinity, combined with Saint-level Magic Mastery, gave her overwhelming power.
Several times, she’d managed to hit the Horned Demon Bastard with magic, even seriously injuring him.
But this guy’s physical constitution was absurdly strong, his defense astonishing, and his recovery frighteningly fast.
He could withstand several of her most powerful magical attacks head-on.
Though he would be wounded, it wasn’t fatal.
But her…
She was a mage by training.
Her body, by comparison, was frail and fragile.
Once that Horned Demon Bastard got close, as long as one of his attacks even grazed her—just a shockwave—she could instantly lose all combat ability.
Especially under the effects of her masochistic constitution.
Whenever facing the Horned Demon Bastard, her body’s sensitivity was forcibly and greatly enhanced by the System.
Sometimes, she would faint outright from the intensity of the stimulation.
It was the ultimate form of being passive.
Her battle experiences had proven this over and over.
So if she could become like the Horned Demon Bastard—
Possessing the same, or even greater, physical strength.
Boasting incredible defensive power, able to withstand magical attacks head-on.
Then—
Wouldn’t she finally make up for her greatest weakness?
She’d finally have the qualifications to go head-to-head with him.
Yes.
That’s right.
It had to be this way.
Last night, after enduring such overwhelming humiliation, she’d finally managed to obtain that hard-won one million Humiliation Value.
Enough to redeem her second Saint-level class.
She absolutely had to pick a close-combat class with formidable physical strength.
One that would let her never again fear hand-to-hand combat.
And as it happened.
Her old dream had always been to become a heroic, mighty Knight like in the stories.
In that case, her second class was decided!
Holy Knight!
With both powerful melee skills and great defense, plus the ability to attack with all kinds of magic—and also use Light Magic to heal herself.
A heroic, mighty, beautiful Knight in radiant holy armor…
That sounded perfect.
Thinking of this, hope rekindled in Su Nian’s heart.
Besides that, she had also noticed information about the next stage in the System log.
[Current total Humiliation Value: 2,370,000/10,000,000]
[Once total Humiliation Value reaches 10,000,000, unlock Five-Star System Shop, purchase Demigod-level Skill]
Demigod-level!
That would be a whole new level of power.
As long as she could reach that realm, she could definitely break free of this Horned Demon Bastard’s control and trample him underfoot!
But ten million Humiliation Value, that’s just too much.
How many times would she have to be bullied by the Horned Demon Bastard…?
Ugh…
No way!
“Current Spirit Road Tenacity: 52% (If Spirit Road drops below 50%, Spirit Road will transform into Road of Depravity)”
If she saved up 10,000,000 Humiliation Value and then advanced to Demigod-level, she could easily defeat the Horned Demon Bastard.
However…her Spirit Road Tenacity might fall below 50%, putting her at risk of walking the Road of Depravity.
And she really couldn’t imagine—if she had to go through what happened last night so many more times—whether she’d still be able to firmly resolve to defeat the Horned Demon Bastard.
So she had to prepare in advance, wait for the Void Beast’s arrival, then find a suitable location and use her newly acquired Knight class trump card to defeat the Horned Demon Bastard!
