Su Nian took a deep breath and began to ponder.
First of all, the content of Mr. Mo Yuan’s letter from Shadowmoon Manor was clearly ill-intentioned.
What kind of cooperation discussion involves inviting someone for tea late at night?
Not to mention the threatening tone-phrases like “no waiting past the hour” and “bear the consequences yourself.”
It was obviously a veiled threat.
But the wording could be interpreted as referring to either the proposed cooperation or those two photographs.
Even if she reported this letter to the city guards now, Mr. Mo Yuan of Shadowmoon Manor hadn’t technically broken any laws.
She’d only be alerting him prematurely.
If reporting to the authorities wasn’t an option, that left only two choices.
Go or don’t go.
In the end…
Su Nian decided to meet Mr. Mo Yuan face to face!
Having grown stronger through her journey, she’d now reached the level of a Master Mage.
Moreover, this concerned both her family and the whereabouts of that damned horned demon.
She couldn’t bear the thought of missing crucial information about either and living with regret.
What was there to fear anyway?
Ever since becoming a girl, she’d been constantly worrying about everything.
This was far from the fearless rookie knight who’d once charged alone into monster-infested forests.
It was time to reclaim her courage.
This was just a manor within the Academy City—not some perilous place like a Demon King’s castle or an armored fortress.
Nothing to worry about.
Besides, there was no way a horned demon could possibly sneak into Academy City, right?
Hmm…
Even… even if that bastard horned demon did show up, she wasn’t afraid.
It would be the perfect opportunity to settle old and new grudges together!
It wasn’t like she was without her own trump cards and contingencies.

[Phantom Flame Aqua Breaker] S-rank:
This spell forcibly combines water and fire elemental energies.
Through precise mana control, it overcomes their natural repulsion, allowing mutual permeation and structural transformation to create an entirely new form of energy attack.
(Requires Master-level affinity with both water and fire elements)
Purchase Cost: 100,000 Humiliation Points.
[Abyssal Flame Barrier] S-rank:
When not under attack, it manifests as a spherical barrier approximately two meters in radius.
The barrier’s surface shimmered with a pale blue watery film.
Beneath it, a mass of searing crimson flames radiated intense heat, distorting the surrounding air and creating a visual barrier effect that inspired awe.
(Prerequisite: Master-level affinity with water and fire elements)
Purchase cost: 100,000 Humiliation Points
Hmm…
Just a few hundred more Humiliation Points, and she could buy an S-rank spell from the system.
This was a system-granted S-rank spell with 100% proficiency-its power would be absolutely guaranteed.
With even just one S-rank spell, she could break through her current B-rank magus level to reach the lower echelons of Archmages status-a realm reserved for the top few figures in the magic academy.
But…
She was just short…
What to do?
If she decided to go to Shadowmoon Manor, it had to be tonight.
Even after completing the “exchange goodnights with Chu Tian” mission, she’d still be slightly short on points.
Damn it.
Back in the cave, she never thought Humiliation Points would be this hard to obtain…
As she pondered, Su Nian’s gaze drifted upward.
Among the three daily missions she could complete anytime, besides exchanging goodnights with Chu Tian, there were also “address the horned demon as master” and… “moments of pleasure.”
At this thought, Su Nian couldn’t help but blush with embarrassment.
Should she really do this mission?
Well…
No choice!
The letter from Mr. Mo Yuan of Shadowmoon Manor was too suspicious she couldn’t afford to be careless.
Purchasing an S-rank spell before going was the safest option.
The next moment, Su Nian got up again, locked the doors and windows, then furtively rummaged through the chest’s contents.
Compared to her first attempt at this mission-when she’d been testing her “masochistic constitution” and handled things roughly due to inexperience the experience had been rather unpleasant.
But this time…
She’d specially prepared tools.
Ahem… don’t misunderstand-she wasn’t that per… perverted.
These “tools” were actually a novel borrowed from Amy’s collection of books, kept for emergencies.
The title: “Why Is This Songstress Being Targeted by the Knight Captain?”—a romance novel about a songstress forcibly loved by a knight.
Tsk tsk.
Who would’ve thought the quiet, bookish Amy secretly read this kind of material.
With everything ready, Su Nian held the book with both hands, her pink cheeks flushing like sunset clouds as she stiffly lay back on the bed, clearly still extremely nervous inside.
At first, her eyes mechanically scanned the words, filled with tension and shyness. Her hands remained frozen, unable to truly immerse herself in the story.
But as time passed, she gradually became absorbed in the plot, unconsciously projecting herself as the novel’s heroine.
The scenes in her mind…
Showed her replacing the heroine, being forcefully pinned against the wall by the knight captain, then those burning lips pressing down while she, as the delicate songstress, lay helpless and unresisting.
The further she read, the more Su Nian’s face burned and her breathing quickened.
Her two-handed grip on the book shifted to one hand.
Having learned from her first experience, Su Nian handled everything with exceptional gentleness this time.
As the vivid scenes in her mind grew clearer, she became completely immersed, feeling as though she was being mercilessly bullied and dominated by the knight at this very moment…
When the novel’s plot reached a critical juncture, the tense and thrilling atmosphere peaked.
She set the book aside and slowly slipped her hands beneath the covers.
Now, the protagonist of her fantasy had shifted-it was herself as both a magical girl idol and a magic mentor, being forcefully conquered and utterly possessed by a mysterious man with a blurred face…
“Ahhhh!❤”
A soft cry shattered the silence of the room.
Su Nian’s body went limp as she collapsed onto the bed, trembling uncontrollably as if struck by lightning.
Her delicate frame quivered slightly, her eyes filled with dazed confusion and fluster.
“Ding! Daily mission ‘Moment of Bliss’ completed. Reward: 1,000 Humiliation Points.”
“Ding! Current Humiliation Points have reached 100,000. Reminder: Host can now purchase S-rank magic.”
It took a long while before Su Nian gradually regained her senses from that delirious state.
“This… this is too shameful,” she murmured softly, her lips parting slightly as her cheeks still burned.
She had actually gone through with such an indecent act just for the Humiliation Points mission—and worse, she had lost herself in it completely.
So embarrassing…
It must… must be because of that damned constitution.
This definitely wasn’t her true intention.
Just as the mission name “Moment of Bliss” suggested, she had truly experienced… bliss.
But this was absolutely not the right path.
She couldn’t shouldn’t do this!
Su Nian shook her head, quickly pushing away the distracting thoughts.
This time was just a temporary measure, only because she was so close to 100,000 Humiliation Points.
From now on, she would never do this mission again.
This was the last time.
Absolutely!
Next, she would purchase the S-rank magic and head to Shadowmoon Manor to investigate.
No matter what this Mr. Mo Yuan was plotting, or whether that bastard horned demon showed up, she would face the challenge without fear!
Already fantasizing about men???
