The City of the Academy.
A light drizzle fell on the streets.
A carriage circled in front of the administrative building of the City of the Academy for the seventh time before finally stopping…
“I say, miss, are you getting off or not? Going to the administrative building one moment and to the Magic Feather Fantasy the next, are you just playing with me on this rainy night?”
The carriage driver wore an angry expression; if it weren’t for the stunning beauty of the girl before him, he might have kicked her out.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, let’s go to the Magic Feather Fantasy,” Su Nian quickly apologized.
At this moment.
She had left the Shadowmoon Manor, where she had endured countless humiliations, yet she lacked the courage to enter the administrative building and disclose everything that had happened at the manor.
Besides fearing the wrath of that bastard, the Horned Demon, and the terrifying consequences he had mentioned, she also doubted whether the investigators in the City of the Academy could handle the Horned Demon.
What if, after revealing everything, the investigators not only failed to help her but also made her vulnerabilities known to even more people… that would be disastrous.
So…
In the end, she had to rely on herself!
Su Nian’s fair and delicate hands tightly gripped the so-called communication magic board, which was also her version of a “magic phone.”
In the next moment.
A spark of determination ignited in her heart; she thought about turning back and confronting that bastard Horned Demon once more.
However, the thought of fighting the Horned Demon was quickly extinguished.
She wasn’t going to fight; she was going to deliver!
No, no.
Su Nian shook her head in the carriage, pondering how to deal with that bastard Horned Demon.
She couldn’t panic now.
Everything hadn’t reached an irretrievable point yet.
First, she needed to continue growing stronger; if her strength couldn’t defeat the Horned Demon, the humiliation of defeat could strike again at any moment.
Additionally, she had to ensure her parents’ safety and prevent them from being attacked by the Horned Demon’s subordinates.
Finally, she just needed to find that crucial photography crystal ball…
Ugh… just thinking about it felt daunting.
Oh right.
She still had the system to help her.
“System, if I use remote teleportation, can I go straight back home now?” Su Nian silently asked in her mind.
“Ding dong, current status allows for a teleportation costing 10,000 humiliation points to any explored area.”
Current status: Recognized, Healthy, Free, Humiliated Physique, Virgin.
Current humiliation points: 97,329
After contemplating, Su Nian devised two action plans.
Plan one was simple and brutal: find a way to kill the Horned Demon and then teleport directly to her parents.
As long as she could kill that bastard Horned Demon, she could escape his threat and control.
However, this plan was highly risky; not to mention her previous defeat before obtaining the system, she had already lost to the Horned Demon twice since acquiring it.
And each time before battling the Horned Demon, she had been filled with confidence, yet she still ended up losing.
So.
Even if she were to execute the plan to kill the Horned Demon, this time she couldn’t just charge in like the last two times.
She had to be clever!
Poison, backstab, use someone else’s knife!
(V) Hehehe!
Next was plan two.
Find the crucial photography crystal ball and then teleport directly.
Since she could spend 10,000 humiliation points to teleport back, she just needed to locate that key photography crystal ball and immediately teleport home to protect her parents, thus escaping the control of that bastard Horned Demon.
Compared to defeating the Horned Demon, she felt this plan was relatively simple.
After all, the Horned Demon’s dark magic was too overpowered; it could attack and defend, and then turn into black mist…
She couldn’t win; it was impossible to win!
Unless she could advance to Holy Mage, otherwise even if she obtained another S-rank attack magic, she still wouldn’t have much confidence.
As for the photography crystal ball…
That thing wasn’t small; it could be hidden in some corner of the Shadowmoon Manor, likely in that suspicious dungeon, or perhaps in the Horned Demon’s storage ring.
With her current strength, sneaking into the Shadowmoon Manor seemed unlikely.
If she forced her way in, she might get caught by that perverted Horned Demon and face another round of bullying.
Ugh… how annoying!
In any case, she had to find an opportunity to assassinate the Horned Demon; if there was no opportunity, she would slowly search for that photography crystal ball!
In just one night, her humiliation points had reached nearly 100,000, equivalent to the humiliation points she had accumulated during her ten days of imprisonment in the Monster Forest.
Though it was a lot, she wouldn’t intentionally get close to that bastard Horned Demon just for humiliation points.
Hmph!
Even if she really went back to the Shadowmoon Manor, it would be to find that crucial photography crystal ball or to look for an opportunity to assassinate the Horned Demon!
Ten minutes later.
The Magic Feather Fantasy arrived.
After Su Nian got off the carriage, she returned to her current residence, which was also her workplace.
“Miss Su Nian, you’re finally back! I was so worried; I thought something had happened to you,” Amy rushed to Su Nian’s side.
She had been anxiously waiting in the hall of the Magic Feather Fantasy since Su Nian hadn’t returned for so long.
Upon seeing Su Nian, she immediately approached, while the aloof Lise, who had also waited for a long time, merely nodded at Su Nian’s safe return before leaving.
“It’s fine, it’s fine; what could possibly happen to me? Don’t worry,” Su Nian dared not speak the truth and could only comfort Amy before her.
However, the reality was that in just half a day, her situation had changed drastically…
ε=(^o `*))) Sigh
If only she could have another chance, she absolutely wouldn’t go to the Shadowmoon Manor tonight.
But the real situation couldn’t be known to the people of the Magic Feather Fantasy.
The people of the Magic Feather Fantasy, aside from the captain of the guard, Chu Tian, who had some combat ability, were all ordinary people; it was better not to involve them in her matters.
By the way.
Where was that guard captain, Chu Tian?
That guy clearly had his eyes on her, often inviting her to dinner and giving her gifts, yet Amy and Lise were worried about her, waiting here late at night for her return, while Chu Tian didn’t know where he had gone.
Hmph, men!
One minute later.
Chu Tian, who had transformed back into human form, returned to the Magic Feather Fantasy in his capacity as the captain of the guard.
While chatting with Su Nian, upon seeing Chu Tian return to the Magic Feather Fantasy, she felt a bit unsettled, a surge of unnamed anger rising within her for reasons she couldn’t pinpoint.
Hmm…
Perhaps it was because, as the guard captain of the Magic Feather Fantasy, he couldn’t even protect her, the core idol?
Or perhaps because he failed to notice that her letters had been taken from her room.
And clearly, he hadn’t waited for her here despite her returning so late.
If only guard captain Chu Tian could deal with that bastard Horned Demon.
But that was just wishful thinking; it seemed unlikely…
Meanwhile, having just arranged the follow-up plans for the Shadowmoon Manor and lifted the curse, Chu Tian had come to the Magic Feather Fantasy when he was about to greet Su Nian, only to hear the system notification sound first.
“Ding dong, absorbing disdainful emotions, irritation points +5.”
“Ding dong, absorbing disappointment emotions, irritation points +6.”
Chu Tian, looking bewildered, quickly realized.
Su Nian must have suffered from the Horned Demon’s bullying at the Shadowmoon Manor, which was why she had such negative emotions.
But…
What did the Horned Demon’s bullying have to do with him, Chu Tian?
***
Late at night.
Chu Tian returned to his room in the Magic Feather Fantasy, took out a special version of the communication magic board, adjusted it to the Horned Demon’s identity, and sent Su Nian his first message.
