Chapter 231: The Girl Dismantles Her Armor

‘Remove my armor…?!’

These words crashed down on Su Nian’s heart, making her head ring with thunder.

That bastard Horned Demon actually wanted her to remove the knight armor that represented her honor here, on this desolate battlefield.

Su Nian looked around.

The empty canyon stretched in all directions, not a soul in sight, only the howling mountain wind adding to the bleakness.

Even though there were no onlookers, this land was the very battlefield where she had just suffered a crushing defeat.

Here, in the place where all her efforts had come to nothing, she was being forced to remove, with her own hands, the armor that symbolized her knightly glory and dignity…

That bastard Horned Demon… how could he be like this!

If this were inside that private bedroom at Shadowmoon Manor, it would be humiliating all the same, but at least it would be indoors.

But now… out here in the wild…

Just thinking about it made Su Nian’s scalp tingle and filled her with shame and fury to the point of death.

Yet reason reminded her of her situation.

She had been defeated again and had no room to resist.

The bastard Horned Demon was unpredictable in his moods; she couldn’t even guess what he was truly thinking.

If she defied his orders now, what awaited her might be an even greater humiliation and torment.

She might even… truly be killed.

The suffocating despair of having her throat seized and almost dying just now lingered in her heart like the deepest nightmare, making every breath a stabbing pain.

Her heart spasmed uncontrollably, as if it wanted to burst out of her chest.

She was scared.

Truly scared.

Why… did things turn out this way…

But what else could she do?

First, she would act afraid of death and submit to the Horned Demon for now…

As for the future.

Maybe she could choose to escape, or if her magic recovered she could turn things back, or perhaps she could just accumulate a billion Humiliation Value right by the Horned Demon’s side…

Then fiercely humiliate him in return!

Resigned, Su Nian struggled to raise her right hand, still covered by the silvery metal gauntlet.

Her gaze fell to the armor at her legs, intending to start there, removing the pieces of her [Saint Radiance Knight Armor (Female)] one by one.

“Ding-dong, detected that the Host was ordered by the Master to remove armor in the wild; Humiliation Value increased by 78,000.”

“Ding-dong, absorbed humiliation emotion; Annoyance Value +78,000.”

But just as her fingers were about to touch the cold metal clasp of her leg armor—

The Horned Demon’s voice, carrying a lazy and unfathomable amusement, sounded slowly above her head.

“No need to go to all that trouble.” Chu Tian said unhurriedly.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, seeming very pleased and satisfied at Su Nian’s tear-filled, trembling, helpless and despairing appearance at this moment.

The combination of the girl’s breathtaking beauty and the aggrieved look of a defeated warrior intertwined, letting his twisted desire for conquest grow wildly like a creeping vine.

“If I wait for you to take off every single piece of that heavy iron shell, who knows how long it’ll take and besides, I know my little Nian is already very tired…”

“As your Master, I’ve always cherished delicate beauties; I’m not some heartless devil.”

He deliberately slowed his speech, every word laced with a chilling “gentleness.”

“Of course… I wouldn’t purposely tire out my particularly endearing little Nian.”

He even let out a magnanimous laugh, as if he was truly thinking on the girl’s behalf.

But Su Nian’s heart, far from relaxing at these sudden “merciful and generous” words, instead plunged downward.

This bastard… would think about her feelings?

Something’s wrong.

At a time like this, the bastard Horned Demon couldn’t wait to torment her…

Su Nian’s heart pounded with alarm, a sense of foreboding worse than before.

‘This guy was definitely up to no good!’

Sure enough, Chu Tian’s next words confirmed her dark suspicions, pushing her into an even deeper abyss of humiliation.

“How about this? My little Nian’er only needs to remove the chestplate and skirt armor, that’s all.”

“As for the arm guards and leg guards… hmm… I think it’s better to keep those on for now.” He said in a tone that sounded as if he was looking out for Su Nian, but his gaze was brazenly wandering across the curves of her body.

Su Nian’s pupils contracted suddenly.

Her fingertips turned cold.

Bastard Horned Demon!

Utterly unreasonable!

Only removing the chestplate and skirt armor, but leaving on the arm guards and leg guards.

Just imagining such a strange, mismatched appearance, a shame even fiercer than being completely naked surged over her like icy waves.

This perverted Horned Demon was doing it on purpose!

He just wanted to see her in the most embarrassing, most humiliating state possible!

Rather than suffer such deliberate degradation, Su Nian would rather strip off every single piece of the armor that had once symbolized honor and protection!

At least that would be a complete… posture of the defeated.

Bastard Horned Demon…

A thorough villain!

Tears spun frantically in her eyes, blurring her vision.

But what could she do to resist?

The circumstances were stronger than she was.

Right now, she was nothing more than fish on the chopping board, waiting to be butchered.

She had no choice but to yield.

She could only obey…

“Kacha.”

A soft click rang out, especially jarring in the dead silence of the canyon.

The metal clasp of her chestplate was finally unfastened by her trembling, delicate fingers.

The cold sensation spread from her fingertips straight to the bottom of her heart.

The heavy chestplate that had shielded her from countless blows, now seemed a thousand pounds.

It slid along the girl’s graceful, breathtaking curves.

“Bang!”

The heavy chestplate crashed onto the cold, hard stone ground with a muffled, heart-pounding thud.

Next came the skirt armor.

The overlapping plates, once like a blooming silver lotus protecting her lower body, now were unclasped one by one, dropping weakly to the ground.

The cold wind, bearing the desolation unique to the canyon, instantly swept over the girl’s slender waist and snow-white thighs.

It sent an uncontrollable shudder through her.

After a while the removed chestplate and skirt armor were messily piled on the icy ground beside her.

They had once been the glory of a holy knight, but now bore witness to her humiliation.

And at that moment her upper body was left only with a tight black lace bra, now completely exposed to the open air.

Delicate lace outlines perfectly the girl’s well-developed, full, perky curves.

With her rapid breathing, the two soft mounds on her chest gently rose and fell, exuding a fatal allure.

Below, matching black lace panties just barely covered her most mysterious, private place.

Sweat had long soaked through the thin fabric, making it cling to her skin and faintly reveal the tender, secret beauty beneath.

Now, Su Nian’s upper body and inner thighs were clad only in her underwear, while her arms and calves were still encased in the cold, hard silvery metal of her arm guards and leg guards.

The stark contrast created an absurd and striking scene.

Softness and hardness.

Fragility and indomitability.

Sanctity and corruption.

Such a strange combination filled her with endless shame.

The girl instinctively looked down at her own body, her snowy cheeks instantly blushing as red as a ripe apple, almost about to bleed.

She bit her lower lip hard and bowed her head deeply, not daring to meet Chu Tian’s eyes, which seemed to pierce everything.

Chu Tian regarded the girl in her underwear with great interest, a wicked smile curling at his lips.

“Hmm? What are you hesitating for? My little Nian, surely you’re not naïve enough to think that when this Master says ‘removing armor,’ I only mean those bits of armor, right?”
