The next day.
Su Nian woke up.
Compared to the cold of the previous day, it was much warmer and more comfortable.
This made her resolve regarding her plan even stronger.
There was no choice…
Now, if she wanted to spend the remaining eight days a bit more comfortably, she had to obtain some supplies from the horned demon.
In addition to basic food and water, and a blanket for warmth at night.
She wanted many things.
The most urgent and crucial ones, she summarized.
First, she wanted clean, intact clothing.
The dress she was wearing had been on her for several days, and due to battles and scrubbing the cage, it had become somewhat damaged and dirty.
This also led to the goblins making a ruckus every time she passed by, even exposing their green lower bodies.
Disgusting!
Vulgar!
Second, perhaps because she had turned into a girl, or maybe because the cave was home to so many unclean magical beasts, her body felt a bit sticky and itchy, uncomfortable, and she wanted to take a bath.
Third, and this was her biggest concern, she didn’t want to continue scrubbing the cage and feeding the magical creatures as a slave.
The last point was obviously the hardest.
After all.
The reason this bastard horned demon had locked her up here was likely to train these magical beasts, to form some kind of magical beast battle group, which is why it needed her to feed them.
And as a high-intelligence human, she was clearly more suited for this “job.”
In the end, Su Nian decided to start with the simplest request.
Waiting by the iron gate at the cave entrance, she heard the sound again, and she knew the horned demon had returned.
As the door to her “room” opened.
Su Nian stood up, tidied her somewhat disheveled white dress, trying her best to look pitiful.
She walked towards the horned demon, who was fiddling with something, her steps light but with a hint of hesitation, each step seeming to weigh her words.
“Q Master…” Su Nian began, her voice trembling slightly.
She saw the horned demon’s back stiffen, then slowly turn around, its eyes filled with a hint of confusion and expectation.
“Ding dong, humiliation value increased by 621.”
“Ding dong, irritation value +621.”
“Q My… my dress is torn. Could you give me a change? Those goblins… they always make a ruckus at me, and the way they look at me scares me~”
As she spoke, Su Nian lowered her head slightly, a tear welling up at the corner of her eye.
She knew that her current appearance was enough to evoke pity from any man, even a male horned demon.
How could Chu Tian not know that the girl before him was lying?
Not to mention the tone of Su Nian’s voice, which was clearly reminiscent of the time she had deceived him in Flash Town.
The mere fact that the goblins scared her was invalid.
The girl’s strength could easily crush those weak goblins, let alone just a few locked-up ones.
Concerned for Su Nian’s safety, he had put multiple layers of security on the magical beasts imprisoned in the cave, locking their hands and feet while also using a magic array purchased from the system for reinforcement.
Yet even though Chu Tian knew Su Nian was playing the pity card, the sight of the stunning girl with tear-filled eyes and her trembling voice hooked his heart like a bait, making it hard for him to refuse.
“Hmph, I knew you would make a request. Just wait, I’ll buy some supplies before tonight and bring you a few pieces of clothing…”
Chu Tian emphasized the word “just,” assuring himself that he wasn’t enchanted by the girl; it was just that her torn clothes were indeed a bit inappropriate.
Right.
Those goblins had the audacity to stare at Su Nian, clearly with ill intentions.
He would go back and give them a beating to vent his anger and boost his popularity.
On Su Nian’s side, as she pretended to cry, upon hearing the horned demon say it would help her buy clothes, she raised the corners of her mouth.
As expected.
She knew it would be useful!
The first goal, obtaining clothing, was achieved!
Compared to confronting the bastard horned demon head-on, this approach was much more suited to her current situation.
Of course…
This was not submission; it was merely a matter of assessing the situation.
After eight days, when she escaped this den of demons, she would still find a way to take her revenge!
Before nightfall.
Just as the bastard horned demon had said, it indeed brought her clothes.
Hmm…
Although these clothes were various little dresses, paired with high heels and stockings, insisting that she wear them was a bit shameful, at least they were brand new.
Well, at least they weren’t too revealing; they were all normal, brand-new clothes.
Hmph!
A mere horned demon, and yet she had it under her control.
In the following two days, Su Nian continued to showcase her unparalleled charm.
Whenever the horned demon seemed to be in a good mood, she would carefully mention that she felt unwell and wanted to take a bath.
At first, the horned demon naturally refused, saying it was inconvenient to bring water into the cave.
However.
Su Nian showcased her acting skills once again.
First, a hint of disappointment crossed her eyes, then she began to quietly sob in a corner.
When the horned demon came over to check on her, she finally said it was because she felt unwell and couldn’t sleep, which would affect her ability to properly feed the goblins and magical beasts, thus hindering the master’s plan to train them…
Then.
That same day, the horned demon caught another batch of goblins, specifically to transport water from the creek into the cave, hanging a large tub high up to create a makeshift shower.
The second goal, being able to take a bath, was achieved!
During this time, she naturally wouldn’t miss her daily tasks.
After all, it was just three calls of “master,” no big deal~ no big deal!
Time reached the fifth day of her captivity.
As the types and numbers of magical beasts the horned demon brought into the cave increased, her “work” also grew.
Thus, Su Nian worked towards her tentative final goal, which was to no longer need to “work,” while also having a more crucial objective.
In the morning.
“Good morning, Master-“
“Master is so amazing~ The number of magical beasts caught is increasing, but I can’t keep up with the cleaning and feeding work, boohoo…”
Su Nian held back her humiliation and disgust, feigning an adoring gaze as she spoke.
Of course, she wasn’t resigning herself to her fate, nor was she submitting; she had her reasons for doing this.
“What if you can’t finish the work… what should we do?”
Chu Tian had gotten used to Su Nian’s antics, but he was also helpless; this woman was too beautiful and too skilled.
“How about this, let some of those goblins out to handle the cleaning and feeding, and as for me, I’ll just manage them.”
Su Nian’s beautiful eyes sparkled as she proposed her plan.
“But… if those goblins are released, I’m afraid they might harm me, and that won’t do. I belong to the master.”
“So, could you not give me that kind of weakening potion anymore? I promise I won’t run away…”
Su Nian revealed her ultimate goal.
That’s right.
It was the weakening potion.
Both her water and food had been laced with the weakening potion.
Compared to the tasks she was doing now, the escape day in five days was the key.
If she was still in a completely weakened state by then, escaping would be extremely dangerous.
With her current beauty that could enchant the world, if she managed to escape but lacked the strength to protect herself, encountering robbers or slave traders would spell disaster!
“Ding dong, responding to the host, doing so would result in a significant increase in humiliation value.”
(^^*) / Did the bastard system ask you?
Why are you butting in!
