After her bath, Su Nian gently dried herself with a soft towel.
Every touch was cautious, as the sensitivity of her body left no room for carelessness.
The towel glided slowly over her skin, sending faint shivers through her each delicate stroke like an electric current coursing through her.
A moment later.
She slipped into a loose nightgown, minimizing contact between the fabric and her skin.
Stepping out of the bathroom, she settled by the window, where a gentle breeze brushed against her face, tousling her golden waterfall of hair.
Strands danced wildly in the wind, ethereal as a dream.
Tilting her head slightly, she gazed at the starry night sky outside, her thoughts drifting far away.
It had been over half a month since she set out on her journey of training, a journey that had turned out to be nothing short of tumultuous and earth-shattering.
At first, she had ventured into the Monster Forest with high hopes, eager to hone her strength.
But she never expected to encounter that formidable Horned Demon.
The first time she was defeated by it, she was consumed by resentment and humiliation.
The memory of that crushing loss was seared into her mind, an indelible wound in her heart.
Yet fate seemed unwilling to let her off so easily.
Even after obtaining the system and challenging the Horned Demon again, she still lost this time, even transforming completely into a girl before being imprisoned in that dark, damp cave, subjected to endless torment and degradation.
But she refused to surrender.
Despite the backlash, she mustered every ounce of strength to teleport away to the Academy City, finally securing a moment of respite.
Now, her life in the Academy City was gradually stabilizing.
She had become a magical girl idol, embracing a new identity and purpose.
Yet deep down, she could never forget her original goal-revenge against the Horned Demon…
To wash away the humiliation she had endured!
And on this long road of vengeance, she wasn’t alone.
Her family, far away, still held her in their thoughts.
“It’s time to get in touch with them,” Su Nian murmured softly, a trace of longing and warmth in her eyes.
She would write them a letter.
Wait-
In her current form, would her parents even recognize her?
For Su Nian, she had been reborn into this world from the fetal stage.
Naturally, she held deep affection for the parents of this world.
Ding!
“To ensure the host fully commits to acquiring Humiliation Points without interference from external identities, the system has altered the memories of all those who knew the host before the transformation. They now recognize the host in her current form and gender.”
Altered the memories of those who knew her?
Bastard…
System!
So capable in this regard, yet when she was imprisoned and desperate to escape, it imposed so many restrictions!
Whatever.
At least, aside from those two self-inflicted defeats, the system still helped her grow stronger in other ways.
If given the choice again…
She would still choose this system-even if it meant an uncertain future-over remaining that utterly unremarkable man from before.
Unconsciously, Su Nian had come to accept the reality of being a girl.
Gender mattered far less than one thing-whether she would remain mediocre, or whether her life from now on would be extraordinary.
Now that the system had altered the memories of those who knew her, she was spared much trouble-no need to explain things to her family or make her parents face the reality of their son becoming a daughter.
Soon, Su Nian began writing fervently.
Dear Family,
It’s already been over half a month since I left home…
She deliberately omitted the two defeats against the Horned Demons to avoid worrying them, focusing instead on her new life as a mage and idol.
After carefully folding the letter, she slipped it into an envelope.
On the front, she neatly wrote the address: White Emperor Village, Carp Lane, Hidden Dragon Town, Red Maple Magic Kingdom—the largest estate at the village entrance.
Tomorrow morning, she could entrust someone to deliver it.
Over the next two days, Su Nian immersed herself fully in training with Magic Feather Fantasy.
Her stage presence grew increasingly polished and confident-every movement, every expression brimming with charm.
Her magical performances were nothing short of breathtaking.
Flames and water twisted into wondrous shapes under her command, blending seamlessly with her singing and dancing, leaving the crew spellbound.
Now, only one day remained until their debut stage.
Magic Feather Fantasy.
“Goodnight, Chu Tian,” Su Nian said shyly, approaching him once again to bid him goodnight, her eyes sparkling with anticipation as she waited for his reply.
She had no choice.
The system demanded it-all for the sake of the mission.
Chu Tian studied the radiant girl before him, her expectant gaze stirring a flicker of doubt in him…
Had she truly thrown away his flowers that day?
No.
The system’s absorption of negative emotions couldn’t be wrong, and neither could his own judgment.
This girl was deceiving him-though he couldn’t fathom her current motives.
Perhaps, like in Flash Town, she sought to swindle him for money.
Or, like in the cave incident, she aimed to mislead him and escape.
What was it this time?
Still, he wouldn’t be fooled again by her charm or words.
“Goodnight, Su Nian,” he replied.
Yet, despite everything,
Chu Tian continued to play along.
After all, his current role was captain of the guard-lurking by her side, he’d humor her act for now.
“Ding! Daily Mission: Exchange Goodnights with Chu Tian (1/1) completed.”
Yes!
Su Nian cheered inwardly.
Today’s task was done.
Current Humiliation Value: 98,247
Just four more days of goodnight missions until her first S-rank spell.
These past two days she had moved into Magic Feather Fantasy.
Compared to the modest inn room, Matthew had assigned her the largest and most luxurious suite in the building.
Naturally, it was far more comfortable, and with everyone from Magic Feather Fantasy around, she felt much safer.
Tomorrow was their debut stage!
She was certain their performance would captivate everyone.
Looking forward to tomorrow!
After her bath, Su Nian lay in bed, silently praying for a smooth performance the next day.
Then, she slowly closed her eyes, gathering her strength for the moment when Magic Feather Fantasy and she, the magical girl idol- would make their mark on the continent.
Though it wasn’t quite the fame she had originally envisioned, where strength alone would shake the world.
But at least, she now had fame, bringing her one step closer to her goal.
With fame, it would also be easier for her to recruit powerful adventurers willing to join her in hunting down the Horned Demon.
Soon.
The young girl drifted into sleep, a sweet smile on her lips.
In her dreams, Su Nian utterly defeated that despicable Horned Demon, stomping him beneath her feet.
Having achieved her long-awaited vengeance, she burst into triumphant laughter.
