“Ding dong, Host’s current status has changed.”
[Current Status: First Experience (Horned Demon), Master Recognition Lv3, Falling (49%), Submissive Physique, Enchantment Mark (in progress)]
[(Master Recognition Lv3): Damage dealt to the Horned Demon Master is reduced by 50%, while damage received from the Horned Demon Master is increased by 50%, and the acquisition speed of Humiliation Value is additionally increased by 50%.]
[The Host’s Magic can be provided to the Horned Demon Master without loss; during this period, Humiliation Value is gained according to the amount of Magic supplied. If all Magic is supplied, the Host may obtain 50,000 Humiliation Value.]
[(Falling): After entering the Falling state, the daily Humiliation Value cap is raised to two million, and by obeying the Master’s command on that day, a minimum of 100,000 Humiliation Value is guaranteed.]
[Enchantment Mark (in progress): When the Falling value reaches 40%, the Enchantment Mark will appear on the Host’s lower abdomen.]
[(Humiliation Value System: When the Host reaches one hundred million Humiliation Value and becomes a deity, all negative statuses (including Lover’s Prison Collar) will be automatically removed. The Host need not worry—everything is for the Host to become a deity.)]
(Current state change is a major alteration and cannot be reversed by temporal Magic.)
At this moment.
From Su Nian’s perspective, she was maintaining her arms raised high, respectfully offering the leash of that symbol of humiliation—the collar—to the man standing before her.
The instant the Horned Demon’s fingers touched the leather loop of the leash, a cascade of pale blue, semi-transparent text washed across her vision like a waterfall.
At the same time, the System’s cold and emotionless notification sounded in her mind.
The amount of information was overwhelming.
Su Nian blinked and forced herself to quickly process these sudden changes.
After reading through the System’s new content, she had only one thought in her heart.
‘This time, it really was impossible to fight the Horned Demon head-on anymore. Wretched System!’
It was getting better and better at toying with her!
[Master Recognition Lv3]… The damage she dealt to that bastard Horned Demon was directly halved, while he would hurt her even more—his damage increased by fifty percent.
How was she supposed to fight like this?
She already couldn’t win before; now, even the last spark of resistance was snuffed out.
But then, on second thought, she didn’t really plan on challenging the Horned Demon right now.
If she couldn’t beat him, she just wouldn’t fight…
No problem.
Thankfully, in this state, the Humiliation Value acquisition speed was also increased by fifty percent—a small comfort, at least.
As for that lossless Magic supply…
Her holy Magic inside her body was about to become the bastard Horned Demon’s portable battery?
She was going to replenish his Magic?
Supplying all her Magic to the Horned Demon would net her 50,000 Humiliation Value.
Su Nian’s mouth twitched, ‘What was this—some kind of emotional compensation fee?’
As for [Falling] status…
Her daily Humiliation Value cap soared from one million to two million!
And as long as she obediently followed the Horned Demon Master’s orders for the day, she could earn a guaranteed 100,000 Humiliation Value without having to do anything else!
One hundred thousand!
This was a figure she used to painstakingly scrape together, suffering all sorts of humiliation to barely reach.
Now, as long as she “behaved”…
Su Nian couldn’t help but start doing quick calculations in her mind.
Seven months—about two hundred and ten days.
A guaranteed one hundred thousand each day would add up to… twenty-one million Humiliation Value.
Twenty-one million!
And that wasn’t even counting the extra she could earn by “actively cooperating.”
Su Nian felt her breathing grow a bit rapid.
Suddenly, she thought this seven-month “punishment and training” might not be so hard to endure after all.
She could treat it as… clocking in for work, getting paid daily—and the salary was unbelievably high.
It was just that both the “job content” and the “boss” were rather unusual.
There was another small comfort—
As long as she could accumulate one hundred million Humiliation Value, all these chaotic negative statuses would be wiped out automatically.
Earning one hundred million Humiliation Value was her ticket to turn the tables!
She could already imagine the day she gathered one hundred million Humiliation Value and became a deity, trampling that bastard Horned Demon underfoot and making him pay back all the humiliation she’d suffered, a thousandfold!
With that thought, Su Nian felt a lot better, as if she could already see the light of victory.
The only thing that still troubled and unsettled her was that [Enchantment Mark (in progress)] state.
But for now, there was no time to worry about that.
The most important thing was to survive these seven months and squeeze as much Humiliation Value out of the bastard Horned Demon as possible!
Squeeze Humiliation Value—treat the Horned Demon as a Humiliation Value ATM and squeeze him dry!
Meanwhile, just as he accepted the leash, Chu Tian’s gaze fell upon the girl before him.
Her beautiful sky-blue eyes were slightly dazed, pupils dilated—clearly, her attention was not on him.
What’s this?
She was reluctant to offer the leash?
At a time like this, she dared to space out and sulk in front of her Master?
A hint of displeasure flashed through Chu Tian’s heart, and a malicious thought arose.
The next moment, Su Nian felt the collar around her neck tighten slightly, an irresistible force pulling her closer to him.
Immediately after, something warm and shockingly heavy was suddenly, without warning, pressed down on the crown of her bowed head.
She jerked her head up, her vision filled with the looming, fearsome thing right before her.
Boom—!
Su Nian felt the blood rush to her head, her scalp tingling, as if it might explode.
‘Pervert! This irredeemable pervert!’
“Ding dong, absorbed emotions of disgust, Annoyance Value +261.”
“Ding dong, Humiliation Value increased by 25,812.”
“Ding dong, Annoyance Value +25,812.”
Su Nian knew full well what would happen next—she’d pretty much experienced it all by now.
Only, at the moment, her clothes were in disarray.
At the Horned Demon’s command, only her icy armguards and greaves still covered her limbs, while her undergarment hung awkwardly at her ankles.
In this desolate canyon, on the battlefield where she’d just suffered a crushing defeat, to be bullied dressed like this—
She felt like a protagonist in some bizarre manga or perverted novel…
Defeated and bullied by the villain after losing…
How shameful.
No…
She needed to think of a way to get Lord Horned Demon to wait until they got home before bullying her.
At least she’d have some cover then…
Su Nian forcefully suppressed the surging nausea and shame, struggling to squeeze out a voice—trying her best to sound soft and coquettish, ignoring the heavy sensation on her head.
“Master, can we… can we go home? It’s… it’s a little uncomfortable here.”
“Oh? Uncomfortable?” Chu Tian’s low laugh sounded at her ear.
He seemed quite pleased with the girl’s expression—shamed and furious, yet forced to feign obedience.
The man bent down, hot breath brushing Su Nian’s sensitive ear.
“But your Master thinks… this place is quite fine.”
As he spoke, the suffocating “pressure” atop her head was finally lifted.
Su Nian instinctively breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart was immediately on edge again.
‘Quite fine? What did he mean by that? Could it be that he wanted to…’
Before she could think further, her wrist was gripped by an iron-like hand, a tremendous force lifting her effortlessly off the ground.
Even though her armguards and greaves were not light, in front of the Horned Demon, she seemed to weigh nothing.
Su Nian staggered to stand—at least she was upright, which was better than before.
No, she had to try again!
She needed to leave this place as soon as possible.
“Master~♥,” she gathered her courage once more, forcing her smile to be sweeter.
“Your Nian slave… is hungry. I want… I want to go back to the manor to eat, please?”
Chu Tian looked at the peerless beauty before him.
Just moments ago, she had been like a blood-soaked war goddess, riding a dragon and battling him to the death.
Now, her clothes were in tatters, only half-armored in metal, hair disheveled, cheeks flushed, even teardrops still lingering at the corners of her eyes as she looked up at him in a deliberately pleading pose.
The stark contrast, the utter ruin and allure, ignited a wild, uncontrollable fire in his gut.
‘Hungry?’
Heh, he was hungry too.
The next moment, Chu Tian slowly walked behind Su Nian; her legs were slightly numb, but she managed to stand.
“Before we go home to eat… there’s still something to do.” His voice was low, with an unreadable undertone.
Chu Tian extended a hand and gently pushed the girl’s back, seemingly casual.
Su Nian was already exhausted.
Her balance failed her at that sudden push, and she had no time to cry out.
Her upper body toppled forward out of her control.
His other well-defined hand had already encircled her slender waist with precision and strength.
A powerful arm kept her from falling completely.
But it also forced her into a ninety-degree bent posture.
What had been hidden by movement and armor was now, under the man’s gaze, utterly exposed, with nothing left concealed.
Su Nian’s mind went blank.
That bastard Horned Demon.
What was he planning now?
In this desolate canyon, on the battlefield that had witnessed all her glory and her bitter defeat.
But Chu Tian cared nothing for her thoughts.
He had already promised this stubborn little wildcat that she could leave in seven months.
That was, for him, an enormous “price.”
Since he had paid the price, he would naturally demand a “harvest” that satisfied him over these seven months.
After all, he could sense every tiny fluctuation of negative emotion in the girl.
If Su Nian were truly on the verge of collapse, her spirit unable to hold, he would notice immediately and stop in time.
Chu Tian’s gaze roamed boldly over the astonishing curves traced by the girl’s body.
The coldness of metal against warm skin, sacred battle armor in ruins against a shameful pose—together, they created an extreme and bizarre visual impact.
Next, he released his grip from her slender waist.
Instead, from behind her, with a seemingly casual yet irresistible movement, he grabbed both of Su Nian’s hands—still encased in heavy, cold armguards—with one hand.
At that moment, Su Nian could not move.
Those hands, meant to wield the blade of glory and cast sacred Magic for the salvation of all—
Now, the Horned Demon easily pinned them behind her back with a single hand, so she could not move at all.
And with his other hand, the Horned Demon took hold of the black leather loop of the leash extending from the metal collar at her snow-white neck.
His slender fingers tightened slightly, pulling the leash gently.
“Mm…” A suppressed moan escaped Su Nian’s throat.
The collar at her neck suddenly tightened, her body instinctively arching her graceful swan neck.
Even though it was only a gentle tug on the collar…
That suffocating feeling—almost dying as the Horned Demon strangled her before—still haunted Su Nian’s heart.
Any spark of rebellion that had flared up was snuffed out in an instant.
Even as the thing that had just rested atop her head now touched her elsewhere…
She could only grit her teeth and silently endure.
Fine…
She would treat squeezing Humiliation Value out of the Horned Demon as her new plan, starting… from today.
