“Ding dong, Humiliation Value increased by +200,000.”
“Ding dong, Annoyance Value +200,000.”
“Ding dong, Humiliation Value increased by +200,000.”
“Ding dong, Annoyance Value +200,000.”
“Ding dong, daily Humiliation Value obtained: two million, reached current power’s daily maximum.”
“Total Humiliation Value: 6.21 million (Divinity is unlocked upon reaching one hundred million Humiliation Value)”
“Current Humiliation Value: 2.12 million”
“Current Spirit Road tenacity: 48%↓ (Path of Depravity).”
“Current Horned Demon favorability: -45 (favorability judged by both body and mind).”
Blackstone Gorge.
The next day, early morning.
The faint morning light struggled to pierce through the magic tent, scattering a few mottled beams onto the messy animal hide bedding.
Inside the tent, a slender, delicate figure curled up.
Golden hair, like melted sunlight, spread out across the dark animal hides.
Even in the dim light, that exquisite little face still radiated a breathtaking charm.
Only now it was tinged with a weary pallor, making her look utterly different from her usual energetic, lofty Saintess image.
The girl’s eyelashes trembled lightly, clearly on the verge of awakening from deep sleep.
“Mmm…” Su Nian instinctively rubbed her sore eyes, her vision gradually clearing from its haze.
In truth, she hadn’t slept for long.
The moment she moved slightly, that stunning face, already dazed from waking, instantly flushed bright red with heat.
Su Nian instinctively pressed her legs together, wanting to check her condition.
But she found that all her limbs were soft and weak, unable to muster even a sliver of strength.
The set of silver-white knight’s armor that once symbolized supreme glory and unyielding defiance was now nowhere to be seen, long since tossed aside by that damn Horned Demon, who knew into which corner.
Her bare skin was exposed directly to the cool morning breeze, making her shiver and pull the blanket up higher.
She looked around in slight confusion.
This was quite a spacious magic tent.
She could still clearly sense the ripples of the Insect-Repelling Magic Array and Alert Magic Array set up outside the tent.
Here, for now, was relatively safe.
Of course, if that bastard Horned Demon, who was currently lying beside her, breathing steadily in deep, satisfied sleep, one burly arm draped roughly around her slender waist, his palm shamelessly resting on her softness—if only he would disappear from her sight immediately—
Then it would be perfect!
Su Nian turned her head, looking at the man so close to her.
While asleep, that outrageously handsome face lost its usual wickedness and arrogance, showing a rare touch of tranquility.
However, even now, facing the sleeping, completely unguarded Horned Demon, she no longer had any thought of taking the opportunity to attack him.
When facing the Horned Demon, it was better for her to just behave and temporarily submit.
This bastard Horned Demon really wasn’t a normal human—he was simply too much.
In every aspect, he far exceeded her limits of understanding regarding male creatures.
Now she could be one hundred percent sure: back at Shadowmoon Manor, this bastard Horned Demon had actually been quite “restrained” and “conservative” with her.
It was probably because she revealed her Holy Knight Physique yesterday that this bastard Horned Demon went… all out.
Unbridled, as if he wanted to completely meld her into his very bones.
A terrifying thought suddenly gripped her heart, making her instantly much more awake.
In this kind of situation…
Could it be… she’s pregnant?!
Su Nian’s heart sank abruptly.
Even though she’d once been a boy and had no experience in these matters, she still knew the basics of biology.
If someone’s… then pregnancy is possible!
Between her and the Horned Demon, there hadn’t been any protection at all.
If she really ended up pregnant with this bastard Horned Demon’s child—
Su Nian couldn’t even imagine that scene.
In her life plans, “becoming a mother” had never been on the list, much less having a child with her lifelong enemy and “Master”!
“Ding dong, to ensure the Host acquires Humiliation Value with maximum efficiency, the System will prevent pregnancy before opposite-sex favorability reaches 70.”
The System’s cold prompt sounded in her mind like heavenly music, and Su Nian’s nerves—tight to the limit—suddenly relaxed.
She let out a long breath, ‘Thank goodness… thank goodness… This damn System finally proved reliable at a crucial moment like this.’
Otherwise.
If, at such a critical time when her revenge was incomplete and her Humiliation Value hadn’t yet hit one hundred million, she ended up with a “surprise” in her belly, she really would have nowhere to cry.
There was simply no place in her life plan for having the Horned Demon’s child!
As for that so-called “favorability of 70″…
A smile involuntarily curved Su Nian’s lips.
How could her favorability toward this bastard Horned Demon ever reach 70?
Right now, it was still negative, -45!
She could never have a favorability of seventy for that perverted Horned Demon.
Even if, because of bodily instinct, she felt a bit of physical affection for the bastard Horned Demon, as long as her mind remained unconquered…
Her favorability toward the Horned Demon would, at most, hover around 0~10.
No need to worry at all.
One had to admit, the System’s setting was quite considerate.
It didn’t simply prevent pregnancy, but judged it based on favorability.
Though she’d never thought about having children in the future, still, as for the ability to bear children…
Su Nian might never use it, but she had to have it!
That’s what made her a normal person.
Her chaotic thoughts gradually calmed.
Su Nian immediately focused, using the [Void Beast Lair] to sense her Contract Beasts.
Big Mountain’s presence was still nowhere to be felt—not in the Beast Nest Space.
Little Violet had exhausted almost all her Magic forcing Big Mountain’s summoning earlier, falling into a coma with severe injuries.
Now, however, she was awake.
Though her aura was still weak, she was steadily recovering, slowly absorbing energy in the Beast Nest Space.
Truly her strongest Contract Beast for now!
Wind Elemental Holy Dragon Little Green was also badly hurt, with damaged dragon scales and body needing time to recover.
“Master…” Little Violet’s weak but still slightly proud spiritual ripple came through.
“I won’t die yet. As for Big Mountain, I already carved a Space Tracking Mark on its shell. Once I recover some Magic, I can try casting Space Magic to find it.”
Su Nian could sense Little Violet’s faint connection to Big Mountain, roughly locating it somewhere in the eastern seas of the Red Maple Kingdom.
Thankfully, the big fellow’s life force was stable for now, so there didn’t seem to be any immediate danger.
Su Nian let out another sigh of relief.
Thankfully, her Contract Beast companions were still safe.
As long as they were alright, she still had the foundation to make a comeback.
While Su Nian’s mind was racing—
Chu Tian beside her had already awakened.
Upon waking, his eyes fixed directly on the girl beside him.
