Su Nian continued to weigh her options.
If she truly threw caution to the wind, with what she knew about the Horned Demon, perhaps he would think she had completely submitted, no longer harboring even a trace of resistance.
Most crucial of all, just how much reward would the System give for this kind of utterly humiliating act, one that she “actively” chose herself?
At that thought, Su Nian’s heart beat uncontrollably faster.
All her previous humiliations had mostly been endured under his threats and temptations—she’d been passive.
But this time, if she really did it, she would be choosing it of her own will…
The amount of Humiliation Value she would gain surely wouldn’t be small.
But just imagining that scene made her scalp tingle, her toes—white as jade—curling involuntarily.
‘Wuwuwu… So shameful.’
Could she really… really get past this hurdle in her heart?
A moment later.
Su Nian’s tightly shut eyes snapped open.
In those sky-blue eyes, once clear as a pristine pool, a kind of fierce determination surged—like burning bridges behind her.
‘Forget it! What’s a little more humiliation and shame? Grit your teeth, close your eyes, and it’ll be over.’
Compared to a huge haul of Humiliation Value, and making this bastard Horned Demon lower his guard for a while, this “sacrifice”… didn’t seem impossible to accept after all.
Her thirst for Humiliation Value, her hope of becoming a god in the future, and her deep fear of this man’s ever-present threat of crueler punishments—these three heavy mountains utterly crushed the delicate strings of “restraint” and “bottom line” in her heart.
Resigned, Su Nian slightly parted the sakura lips that had once chanted countless holy incantations, and once bloomed with celestial song on the grandest of stages.
In the air, the faintly sweet scent unique to this golden-haired beauty formed an intense, indescribable sensory assault.
Although Chu Tian had always acted extremely forceful—and even a bit twisted—toward the girl before him,
In his previous life, he had little experience, let alone facing a peerless beauty like Su Nian…
So-called self-control…
Did not exist.
At this moment, Chu Tian only felt his throat go dry, his Adam’s apple bobbing uncontrollably with a soft “gulp.”
He recalled how Su Nian had earlier offered to heal and clean his body, then looked at her now… in this skillfully obedient pose, clearly meant to please.
A thought erupted within him—so thrilling even he was nearly overwhelmed with joy—spreading like wildfire through every fiber of his being.
Could it be…
Could it be, that this little wildcat, once so proud and defiant, who’d rather die than submit, after suffering defeat at Blackstone Gorge and after last night’s wild, all-consuming conquest…
Little Nian had really… been completely broken by him, body and soul utterly yielding to her “Master”?
At the same time.
That warm, soft touch—carrying the unique, sweet fragrance of the young girl—finally… covered him.
Accompanied by an overwhelming masculine scent belonging to this man alone, it flooded her mouth and nose in an instant.
“Ding dong, Humiliation Value increased by 87,654.”
“Ding dong, absorbing humiliation emotion, Rage Value +87,654.”
The cold System notification rang out in Su Nian’s mind, clear as a beacon in the night, or perhaps like the lure of an abyss.
Su Nian’s eyes widened, shock shining in her pupils.
‘Eighty-seven thousand plus!’
Just the beginning, and she’d already gained such a massive sum of Humiliation Value!
So… the more active, the more boundary-breaking the humiliation, the richer the rewards…
Though the shame was absolute, her limbs felt soaked in the icy sea of humiliation.
Yet when she saw that number, deep inside her heart, she couldn’t help but feel… a spark of delight and anticipation…
‘Wait. Something wasn’t right.’ Su Nian shuddered.
It felt like… she was being utterly played by this damned System?
Using Humiliation Value as bait, luring her step by step into deeper abyss.
If the System gave her even more Humiliation Value in the future, would Su Nian really be willing to do anything shameful, to abase and humiliate herself to the extreme?
She shivered, not daring to think further.
She had to be careful…
But, facing the Horned Demon now, she had no other choice.
She had no choice but to do this.
Reality was just this cruel—so cruel it left her no room to bargain.
The terrifying suppression of [Master Recognition Lv3] meant any attack she made on the Horned Demon would be greatly weakened, while any harm he inflicted on her would be cruelly magnified.
Not to mention the [Lover’s Prison Collar] at her neck—it not only sealed her magic but also subtly corroded her will.
She couldn’t kill him.
She couldn’t even muster the slightest bit of real resistance.
For now, it seemed, aside from obediently listening and striving to harvest Humiliation Value, there was no second path.
“Ding dong, Humiliation Value increased by 34,582.”
“Ding dong, Humiliation Value increased by 40,012.”
“Ding dong…”
A series of System prompts sounded.
Chu Tian lounged leisurely on a soft beast pelt, his half-lidded eyes glinting with fathomless darkness.
He occasionally let out a low, ambiguous hum.
To pull a flower from the heights down from its altar, to stain her with the colors of the mortal world under himself…
That feeling was truly exquisite.
On Su Nian’s end, she tried hard to empty her mind, ignore the strange sensations in her body, and focus only on the Humiliation Value numbers flashing in her mind.
‘Thirty thousand, forty thousand, another thirty thousand…’
Those numbers were her only solace, the only thing that kept her going.
Thirty minutes later.
“Ding dong…”
