First, she would use the one million Humiliation Value she earned last night to become a Holy Knight.
With a powerful body, plus healing abilities.
Soon, she’d be able to make that Horned Demon Bastard pay the price.
Resolute, Su Nian glanced at the Horned Demon Bastard before her without betraying any emotion.
Deep in those sky-blue eyes, a look of hatred and determination was fixed on the man beside her.
This time…
She would win!
However, the gaze in which Su Nian had condensed all her hatred and resolve landed in the eyes of Demon Chu Tian—
But in his mind, it was twisted into an entirely different meaning.
He raised an eyebrow slightly, carefully scrutinizing the girl’s expression by his side.
Those watery, exhausted, yet astonishingly bright eyes were staring straight at him.
Within them, emotions churned that were difficult to decipher.
There was anger.
There was unwillingness.
Maybe, even a trace of… infatuation?
What did this look mean?
Demon Chu Tian’s thoughts began to race.
Could it be…
Was it that his relentless demands last night, his overwhelming performance, had completely conquered this wild little kitten who never submitted?
Beneath her stubborn shell, had she already developed an attachment to him she couldn’t sever?
Could it even be… love?
He carefully recalled every detail from the previous night.
At first, the girl had resisted, but in the end, she had succumbed.
Those shattered whimpers, and how, in her last moments of blurred consciousness, she instinctively responded…
So.
This look on the girl before him…
Was she flirting with him?
The more he thought about it, the more Chu Tian believed it was a real possibility.
After all, what woman could resist a strong man like him?
He not only possessed immense power but also the vast wealth and influence of Shadowmoon Manor.
Moreover, the “abilities” he displayed last night were enough to make any woman swoon.
‘Yes, that must be it. This little wildcat might not admit it, but her body and her eyes were honest.’
‘That look, without a doubt, was the expression of wanting to refuse but welcoming at the same time, another kind of love so deep it turned to hate.’
Thinking of this, Demon Chu Tian couldn’t help but feel even more delighted.
Conquering a wild mare like this was far more satisfying than those ordinary women who came so easily.
At this moment.
If Su Nian could hear the self-righteous delusions of this Horned Demon Bastard, she’d probably be so furious she’d risk everything, even dragging him down with her.
Playing hard to get?
Flirting?
The look in her eyes clearly wanted to cut him to pieces, a look of “digging out his heart and lungs”!
What a fool!
In high spirits, Chu Tian looked at Su Nian’s “tender and affectionate” gaze, while her body clearly looked exhausted, and any concerns about not being able to control her vanished completely.
Instead, what arose was an even stronger urge to protect and possess her.
He picked up the plate of warm breakfast beside him, gently used a silver fork to pick up a small piece of golden toast, perfectly baked and slightly crispy at the edges.
A thin layer of sweetly fragrant jam was spread on the toast.
“Hungry?”
He held the fork up to Su Nian’s lips, his voice deliberately lowered and gentle.
“You wore yourself out last night. You don’t look like you have any strength left.”
“Let me feed you.”
Chu Tian’s tone was one of indisputable certainty, yet also intentionally intimate.
As if things between them were always supposed to be like this.
Su Nian was slightly stunned.
She stared blankly at the man so close to her, and at the food brought right to her mouth.
The Horned Demon Bastard… was feeding her?
The scene was so bizarre that for a moment she couldn’t even react.
In her memory, the Horned Demon Bastard had always looked down on her, treating her imperiously.
He’d only ever ordered her around with a commanding tone.
Locked her in a mountain cave, had her feed Magic Beasts, even made her feed him grapes and wine, wipe his back, drive his carriage.
He’d even made her kneel down and…
But now… with this almost “gentle” attitude, he wanted to feed her by hand…
This was absolutely the first time something so unheard of had happened.
A strange sensation, like a faint electric current, quietly slipped across Su Nian’s heart.
She was left at a loss.
Wait…
Last night.
When her mind was at its foggiest, almost completely swallowed by desire and exhaustion.
Amid the chaotic gasps and collisions, she seemed to… vaguely hear something.
That Horned Demon Bastard, close against her burning ear, had murmured in an incredibly low, hoarse, and strangely earnest tone, whispering broken sentences.
“…like you…”
“…Su Nian…”
“…future…”
“…three years later…”
“…Demon Race…”
“…compensation…”
“…be good to you…”
At the time, she’d been too dazed to think.
But now, coupled with the abnormal act of feeding her.
And those fragmented words, could it be that, although he was of the Demon Race, he… had fallen for her?
This thought made Su Nian’s heart jolt, then surge with a wave of absurdity.
‘Who… who wanted to be liked by this Horned Demon Bastard?’
Wait.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Su Nian’s mind.
If this guess was true…
If the Horned Demon Bastard really felt something more than simple possessiveness toward her…
It might explain a lot.
Why he hadn’t killed her right away in the Monster Forest, but chose to imprison her instead, and even listened to her, went to the city to buy things, which gave her a chance to teleport away.
Why he later went through all kinds of trouble to find her, luring her to Shadowmoon Manor by every possible means.
Even going so far as to threaten her with those shameful photos and videos, keeping her tightly controlled at his side.
If it was only for novelty, for conquest and possession.
Then last night, he’d already gotten everything from her.
By rights, given his unpredictable temperament, he might’ve gotten bored this morning, or treated her even more roughly.
There was no need to prepare breakfast, get out potions, or even put on this act of wanting to feed her by hand.
It was far too abnormal.
Unless… he really was moved in some way.
Su Nian’s heartbeat sped up uncontrollably.
Perhaps she could… use this!
Use the Horned Demon Bastard’s “feelings.”
Hmph…
She, a dignified seven-foot man… though now forced into this girl’s body, using someone’s affection to defeat them rather than real combat…
It felt a bit beneath her.
But!
Su Nian gritted her teeth fiercely, determination flashing in her eyes.
This wasn’t the time to worry about pride.
As long as she could achieve her goal, as long as she could finally get her revenge, as long as she could trample this Horned Demon Bastard underfoot and make him taste all the humiliation she’d suffered…
Any method was worth it!
Besides, dealing with a shameless bastard like the Horned Demon Bastard required no sense of honor or knightly virtue.
As for beauty, her 100-point Charm Value—the pinnacle of humanity—wasn’t for nothing.
Across the entire kingdom, even the whole Continent, there probably wasn’t another who could match her.
This was her greatest asset.
As for schemes…
Heh!
Su Nian’s lips curved into a faint smile.
Who was she, Su Nian?
She was someone of immense wisdom!
Coming up with a scheme was a piece of cake—this time, there’d be no problem at all.
Didn’t the System say so?
Accumulate one hundred million Humiliation Value, and she could become a deity.
If that day ever came, perhaps she’d consider the divine post of Goddess of Wisdom…
Hmm… the title “Goddess of Wisdom” really did suit her.
