Chapter 53: The Girl Kneeling and Pleading for Mercy 

Su Nian felt her current posture-being lifted from behind by the damned horned demon-left her completely immobilized.

At this moment.

With her sheer-stockinged legs raised high, the originally tall and stunning girl appeared tiny against the two-meter-tall Chu Tian. 

Fortunately…

The damned horned demon wasn’t in front of her. 

Otherwise, the sight of her skirt flipped up and her legs lifted in sheer stockings was something even she couldn’t bear to imagine.

After all, her panties were still damp from the earlier beating.

She absolutely couldn’t let him see!

However, before she could feel relieved for long, she sensed something even more unbearable.

Right now, because the damned horned demon had lifted her from behind into this humiliating “holding-a-child-to-pee” pose, his body was pressed tightly against hers.

Naturally, this meant she could also feel his body against her.

Huh? 

What was this?

The horned demon’s sword?

Then, Su Nian seemed to realize something!

At this moment.

Her already damp panties were dangerously close to that “sword.”

No way, absolutely not!

“Stop it!”

The girl’s snow-white, delicate face flushed instantly, her small head shaking as she struggled, her sheer-stockinged legs kicking back and forth-which only made her body rub against the “sword” even more.

“Tsk… don’t move!” Chu Tian suppressed his urges, his voice deep and restrained.

Was this idiot completely clueless? 

Moving like this now-did she have any idea how hard it was for him to hold back?

“Y-you… stop! Not there!” Su Nian’s heart raced, her face burning red. 

She couldn’t even imagine the humiliation and pain if that demonic “root” violated and claimed her.

She used to be a boy-how could she accept something like this?

Not to mention…

Given her body’s current sensitivity and the influence of her masochistic constitution, facing that monstrous thing she’d glimpsed before… even if her mind resisted, her body might succumb.

This absolutely couldn’t happen!

“Oh? Weren’t you acting all composed earlier?”

Chu Tian teased, partly to distract himself from his own rising desires.

He had assumed this posture not to actually force himself on the girl.

Just being seen in that state earlier had nearly broken her-if he went all the way now, it would only backfire, earning her lifelong hatred. 

Well… not that she didn’t already hate him.

Besides, in terms of efficiency for harvesting “anger points,” jumping straight to the final step clearly wasn’t the optimal strategy. 

Right now, what he was doing was… intimidation.

This was part of his plan.

The scheme Chu Tian was currently executing could temporarily be called the “Long-Term Humiliation of Su Nian Plan”-though replacing “humiliation” with “training” would also work.

To make Su Nian obediently return to Shadowmoon Manor every night without daring to teleport away, he needed leverage over her.

Aside from knowing her parents’ whereabouts and using that as a threat, he needed another bargaining chip.

After all, he’d witnessed her teleportation ability firsthand how she could warp to Academy City from a cave devoid of any magical tools or materials.

Therefore, simply knowing the location of her parents wasn’t secure enough.

Su Nian could very well teleport directly home and evacuate her parents.

Of course.

Even if Su Nian did escape, he wouldn’t actually harm her parents—it was merely a superficial threat.

Now, he intended to artificially create another means of leverage!

At this moment.

Hidden in the dark, shrouded by black mist within the dungeon, was a recording crystal ball aimed at Su Nian, though it hadn’t been activated yet.

This concealed recording crystal was his second means of controlling Su Nian. 

Currently, it held no content-that would require the next steps.

Similarly, he wouldn’t show these recordings to anyone else…

He would only show them to Su Nian herself, making her believe that he, as a wicked horned demon, monster, or demonkin, truly intended to harm her parents and spread compromising images of her.

Su Nian felt the hardness and size of the sword pressing against her body.

She was panicking now.

Please, no!

She couldn’t possibly accept this. 

She couldn’t even imagine how she would face herself if something like this happened.

Wait.

She could still think of a way!

After dismissing every idea that flashed through her mind, Su Nian was left with only one unbearably humiliating solution…

Begging for mercy.

“Ugh… p-please… I’ll do anything else, just not that,” she pleaded.

Su Nian squirmed, her raised legs in sheer black stockings swaying slightly, the flickering dark red high heels and her golden hair swaying along, adding a splash of color to the gloomy dungeon.

Only after exhausting all other options would this proud girl say something like “anything else.”

Sniff…

Even kissing him again would be fine-just don’t touch her there.

“Anything?” Chu Tian smiled faintly.

The plan was progressing successfully!

Rather than making demands himself, it was far more effective to let the girl propose them under duress; it gave her a false sense of agency and made compliance more likely.

“In that case, kneel, beg for mercy, and swear loyalty to me.”

“If you kneel and submit to me as your master, not only will I not touch you today, but I’ll even let you leave the manor immediately,” Chu Tian tempted.

“R-really?” Su Nian’s eyes suddenly brightened, though hesitation and shame quickly followed.

The reason she was so helpless now, completely at his mercy, was because of the “captured” state she’d been forced into after her defeat.

If she could just leave, she could use the [Shop] to grow stronger. 

Though tonight had been unbearably humiliating, her Humiliation Points were already close to unlocking a second S-rank spell.

Not only that, once free, she could seek help from the Academy City or the Magic Academy to deal with this damned horned demon. 

He was a monster, after all-he deserved to be exterminated!

In short, as long as she could escape, she hadn’t lost this battle yet!

Admittedly, kneeling, begging for mercy, and swearing loyalty to a horned demon was also unbearably humiliating and hard to accept.

But between two evils, she had to choose the lesser. 

No matter what, it was better than staying here and being violated or tormented by this bastard.

But…

Would this damned horned demon really keep his word? 

Would he actually let her go after she knelt and begged?

“My kind never lies-unlike you humans,” Chu Tian declared, fully committed to his act.

What he didn’t know was that from then on, Su Nian would firmly believe him to be a demon, making it difficult to break through her psychological defenses. 

Even when he later explained he was human, she remained skeptical.

“Alright, I agree…” Su Nian replied, her face flushed with embarrassment as she turned her head away.

As soon as she spoke, she felt the large hands gripping the backs of her black-stockinged legs gradually loosen, lowering her gently to the ground.

“Forgot to remind you the ownership ritual requires the removal of all clothing,” Chu Tian said while activating a hidden recording crystal sphere, positioning it directly toward Su Nian.
