Chapter 22: The Feeling of Being Wrapped Up, So Comfortable❤

Su Nian realized she too was now the horned demon’s trophy, and a peculiar sense of humiliation welled up in her heart.

What difference was there between her and the magical beasts captured by the horned demon now?

“Ding dong, humiliation points increased by 963.”

“Ding dong, anger points +963.”

Just as Demon Chu Tian returned to the cave base, preparing to imprison today’s spoils of magical beasts, he heard the system notification of nearly 1000 anger points gained.

Hmm?

Judging by the numbers, it was undoubtedly from Su Nian.

But he hadn’t done anything to her at the moment?

How strange.

On the other side.

After briefly mourning and feeling humiliated over becoming a “trophy,” Su Nian’s gaze once again focused on the other items the horned demon had brought back.

Food, water, some wooden chairs and tables, warm clothing, and blankets!

Thinking about it now, that bastard horned demon must have infiltrated a human town to purchase these supplies.

Combined with the earlier clue of him taking all her money, this had to be the case.

Right.

She remembered having money in her bag when she arrived.

At this thought, Su Nian quickly rummaged through her belongings.

However.

Apart from a few pieces of underwear in her bag, the twenty-some gold coins in the small hidden compartment were all gone.

Though this money had been “borrowed” from Chu Tian in the first place.

Needless to say, that bastard horned demon must have taken her money.

It made sense-now that she’d fallen to become the horned demon’s trophy, his slave, how could she still possess property?

Everything, including herself, was entirely at his mercy.

Hmph.

Nine more days she was counting and she could escape this demon’s den.

But during these nine days, she’d better not provoke the horned demon too much, lest she suffer for it.

She’d swallow her pride first to obtain some daily necessities.

Having steeled herself mentally, Su Nian hesitantly approached the horned demon.

“I want a blanket… Master,” Su Nian spoke with humiliation and reluctance in her heart.

The person before her was the very horned demon she wished to eliminate, yet here she was calling him master.

Ugh… how infuriating.

“Ding dong, humiliation points increased by 837.”

“Daily quest: Address the special horned demon as master 3/3. Reward: 3000 humiliation points.”

“Ding dong, anger points +837.”

Demon Chu Tian listened to the girl’s sweet, melodious voice reluctantly calling him master.

The feeling of conquest and domination over her gave him an extraordinary sense of accomplishment.

Besides, the anger points were a crucial gain…

He had originally thought the process of earning anger points would be arduous and painful.

Never had he imagined that after meeting Su Nian, it could be so efficient and satisfying.

As for the blanket.

That was naturally no problem.

The cold-weather items had been bought precisely for this beautiful girl before him.

He wanted to make it clear to her that he was the master, the one in control!

As for making such a breathtakingly beautiful girl suffer unnecessarily, there was no need for that.

Many of the envisioned “punishments” were temporarily shelved-unless the girl before him did something unacceptable.

Like trying to escape his control, or even attacking her master…

In that case, the little slave would have to be punished!

Seeing the horned demon unresponsive, as if deep in thought, Su Nian recalled again the cold of the previous night.

The nights in the Monster Beast Forest… were truly unbearable.

What to do?

For a moment, Su Nian recalled a foreign comedy skit she’d seen in her past life.

A girl with bound hands knelt on the ground.

After having a basin of cold water dumped on her, she pitifully whimpered “I’m so cold”—and instantly enchanted all the men around her.

Now, she too had her hands tied.

If…

The damned horned demon had any sense of pity for fragile beauty, perhaps she could play the damsel in distress.

Though it went against both chivalric code and masculine principles, the problem was chivalry wouldn’t keep her warm through the forest’s frigid nights!

No sooner thought than done.

Suppressing her shame, Su Nian prepared to perform again last time, her audience had been that foolish boy Chu Tian who gave her money and a sword.

The next moment.

Feigning exhaustion, she gracefully knelt beside the horned demon.

Then, pitching her voice into a sultry, alluring tone:

“Eeek~”

“Mmm- So cold…”

On his end, Demon Chu Tian froze at the familiar cadence, unpleasant memories resurfacing.

Back in Flash Town, hadn’t Su Nian used this exact tone when swindling him out of his coins… and then his weapon?

Though fortunately, gifting her that sword had activated its special trait, allowing him to defeat and imprison her here for steady streams of rage points.

Now the tables had turned.

The girl before him was putting on this elaborate act just for a measly blanket.

But… this silly girl truly underestimated her own lethality.

That manner of speaking, especially with him in the “master” role facing a captive maiden, was dangerously provocative.

If not for his iron self-control-knowing he must gradually harvest enough rage points from her to face the demon army-he’d have succumbed right then!

Enough.

Considering Su Nian had progressed from cursing him to performing for favors, perhaps she deserved a small reward.

“Take two blankets. I’d hate for my pets to go unfed tomorrow.”

He tossed over two purchased blankets, engulfing Su Nian’s petite frame.

Compared to the tattered original, these were far thicker-one for padding the hay “bed,” the other as covering, offering real warmth.

Peeling the blanket off her head, Su Nian blinked her beautiful eyes at the luxuriously fuzzy fabric.

Her inner voice screamed:

Holy shit!

It worked!

So horned demons shared human aesthetics enough to feel protective tenderness?

Clearly, her soul-stealing beauty transcended species-slaying males universally, damned horned demons included!

Pondering this, Su Nian reconsidered her strategy.

To survive the remaining nine days without hunger or cold-while avoiding angering the demon-perhaps a calculated performance was warranted.

Night fell.

Su Nian retreated to her tiny “cell.”

Laying one blanket over the corner hay pile and draping the other across herself, her curvaceous form sculpted the fabric into elegant contours.

Compared to last night, she was feeling much better today.

Not as cold anymore.

The sensation of being wrapped in something soft and fluffy was so comfortable ♥~
