After hearing Su Nian’s words, Chu Tian felt a stir in his heart.
The symbolism of the peach blossom wine truly sent ripples through his emotions.
Looking at the blushing Su Nian before him, the corners of Chu Tian’s lips curled slightly upward.
Could it be that his little slave had finally recognized her fate, realizing she could never escape his grasp, and thus had come to her senses?
Had she surrendered?
It made sense.
Compared to being his slave, the status and treatment of becoming his wife would undoubtedly be far superior.
In that case…
It aligned perfectly with his plan to raise demonic beasts.
He had already scouted the northeastern part of the Demon Beast Forest-there was a goblin tribe with over a thousand goblins.
If he could conquer this tribe…
He would gain a massive amount of Anger Points and goblin laborers.
By then, he planned to establish a kingdom of monsters within the Demon Beast Forest.
He would be the king, and Su Nian… would be his queen.
He would build a grand castle.
On ordinary days, he would absorb the Anger Points from the prisoners of his monster kingdom, and occasionally, he could tease his queen- now that would be the life of true comfort.
Imagining his perfect future, Chu Tian couldn’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of longing.
“Fine, I’ll go buy you the peach blossom wine. Be good while I’m gone,” Chu Tian said, turning to leave.
Before stepping out, he cast one last deep glance at Su Nian, his eyes filled with expectation and possessiveness.
Tonight…
He would finally claim this radiant, star-like maiden for himself!
“Mmm-Go on then, be careful on the way,” Su Nian cooed, continuing her act of shyness, playing the part of a wife seeing her husband off.
At this moment, Chu Tian’s gaze was once again captivated by the girl before him.
Every smile and frown of hers tugged at his heartstrings.
Though he couldn’t be sure how much of her words were genuine, there was no denying that this woman had utterly enchanted him.
So much so that he was willing to set aside his best Anger Points collection plan.
He hoped… this time, it was real.
If she disappointed him again, he truly might lose his mind.
Three hours later.
Chu Tian rode his horse to the outskirts of Avenus City, then shifted into his human form to purchase the peach blossom wine.
But that wasn’t all.
He also bought new clothes for Su Nian, along with several pairs of high heels.
That’s right!
He particularly loved seeing that breathtakingly beautiful girl in high heels-the noble, elegant poise, the seductive allure of her graceful figure, combined with her pure, saintly face-it drove him wild every time.
Just then, a child selling roses passed by, hawking the flowers in hand.
In that instant, inspiration struck Chu Tian, reminding him of the stunning girl back at his hideout.
Surely, girls liked flowers, didn’t they?
Though, as her master, giving a slave flowers might seem beneath him, but as Su Nian had hinted-if she was willing, he wouldn’t mind… no, he would be more than happy to make her his wife.
“I’ll take those flowers.”
“Thank you! Thank you so much! That’ll be one silver coin.”
And so, when Chu Tian returned from Avenus City, he didn’t just bring the peach blossom wine Su Nian had longed for he also carried back a new dress, high heels, and…
Ah, right, some exquisite steak as well.
And, of course, a grand bouquet of roses.
Humming a melody from his past life, Chu Tian returned full of hope, his heart brimming with dreams for the future.
However.
Su Nian found herself hesitating.
“Ding! Congratulations, host, for being an ogre’s slave for 10 days. Reward: 50,000 humiliation points, Master-level tea art, Master-level coffee making, Master-level culinary skills, Master-level baking, Master-level housekeeping.”
“Ding! Achievement unlocked: Life of a Slave. Reward: 5,000 humiliation points. New status added: [Enslaved]. In this state, humiliation point acquisition efficiency increases by 50%.”
“Ding! Total humiliation points have reached 100,000. System upgraded to three stars. Store now offers more items.”
Total humiliation points: 144,681 (1,000,000 points needed to upgrade to four-star system)
Current humiliation points: 135,532 (Cannot use store while imprisoned)
“Due to three-star system upgrade, teleportation function unlocked. In non-combat free state, spend 1,000 humiliation points to teleport to city teleportation arrays, or 10,000 points to teleport to any explored area.”
“If host forcibly teleports while in combat, enslaved, or imprisoned, it will cost double the humiliation points and grant a permanent random penalty status.”
Just as she had expected, reaching three-star system did provide an escape route!
Simply put, in a free state outside of combat, she could teleport at will by spending 1,000 humiliation points to reach any city’s public teleportation array.
However, she clearly wasn’t in such a state now.
Forcibly teleporting would earn her a permanent penalty status.
What if it was some kind of combat power reduction debuff?
That would be disastrous.
Forget it.
First, she’d examine the iron gate at the cave entrance to see if she could escape directly.
Half an hour later.
Su Nian gave up her investigation in disappointment.
If it were just an ordinary iron gate, she might have been able to break it by brute force.
But it was embedded with both warning and defensive magic arrays.
Attempting to force her way through would likely fail and only anger that damned ogre.
Even with 140,000 humiliation points at her disposal, being imprisoned meant she still couldn’t access the [Store].
She had to make a decision quickly…
Should she gamble on her luck, accept a penalty status, and forcibly teleport away?
Or stay here, biding her time with the damned demon, waiting for a better chance to escape?
After brief consideration, Su Nian reached her decision.
She would run.
She had to run!
Rather than remain here as the Horned Demon’s slave, she’d take her chances with teleportation.
If the penalty status turned out too severe, she could simply forget about revenge and stay in the city-surely that damned demon couldn’t enter the city?
Even the worst penalty status would be better than obeying the demon here.
Besides, her hints today had been obvious.
If she didn’t leave now, she might end up getting… no, that absolutely couldn’t happen.
Lewd stuff… absolutely not!
Having made up her mind, Su Nian first gathered her belongings-what the demon had given her, she’d earned fair and square!
Though she found no money in the cave, the longsword that foolish Chu Tian had given her was still there, perfect for self-defense.
She’d take it with her.
After thoroughly ransacking the place, Su Nian finally opened the system and selected the teleportation function.
Avenus Town was definitely not an option.
She still didn’t know what the penalty status entailed-if it turned out to be too severe and she ran straight into that horned demon buying peach blossom wine, she’d be done for.
Su Nian scanned the teleportation simulation map in the system, searching for available cities to transfer to.
This place would do!
The Academy City of the Crimson Maple Kingdom.
Academy City was built around the Crimson Maple Magic Academy as its core.
With the presence of a Saint Magus, the city was secure enough.
No magical beasts could even enter.
She would rest and recover here first, assess how the penalty status affected her, and then use her Humiliation Points to boost her strength before preparing to deal with that damned horned demon.
She could only hope the system’s penalty status… wasn’t too outrageous.
It couldn’t possibly rob her of the chance for revenge, right?
