Chapter 327: The Girl Is Blindfolded

Night fell.

Inside the master bedroom.

Cool silk stockings slid up her calves, clinging to her skin and providing a silky, tight sensation.

Su Nian expressionlessly fastened the buckles of her white high heels.

Finally, she put on a deep purple dress.

The fabric was so soft it didn’t make a sound, yet the moment she donned it, it tightly wrapped around every curve of her body, tracing a breathtaking silhouette.

She had to admit — purple really was quite charming.

She walked to the door of the master bedroom, her heels swallowed by the thick velvet carpet.

As if performing a routine chore, she completed the greeting ceremony that still made her feel a twinge of shame.

Every movement was precise and beyond reproach.

After standing up, she approached the man, smoothly taking the coat he had removed and hanging it on a rack.

She then placed the prepared black tea, fresh juice, and a delicate dessert adorned with plump berries onto the coffee table one by one.

The crystal glass and bone china plate collided, producing a crisp, hollow sound.

Throughout the entire process, she did not look at him or speak.

Her stunning face remained indifferent, and not a single ripple disturbed the sky-blue depths of her eyes.

Having finished her tasks, she didn’t linger for even a second.

She turned and walked straight toward the large velvet bed.

Without the slightest hesitation, she flopped onto it.

She used a soft pillow to prop up her upper body and buried herself deep within the velvet bedding, leaving only her golden head visible.

The light screen of her Magic Phone lit up before her eyes, instantly occupying her entire field of vision.

This was her new plan.

‘Cold war.’

She would use absolute indifference to combat the pervasive encroachment of this man she lived with.

She would turn the Horned Demon into an insufferable, faceless, and voiceless background element — a mere tool to provide Humiliation Value.

She didn’t believe the damn Mental Favorability could possibly increase like this!

Her fingertips left an afterimage on the light screen.

In the game, a chibi version of the Star-Moon Saintess unleashed a magnificent ultimate skill, instantly clearing the entire minion wave.

The word [VICTORY] popped up.

With a thought, Su Nian pulled up her System panel.

“[Status Window]”

“Mental Favorability: -85”

“Physical Favorability: 89”

“Current Composite Favorability: 4”

For several days, the value of her Mental Favorability had not budged.

It had stopped!

The corners of Su Nian’s mouth curled into an uncontrollable, smug arc, ‘Hehehe.’

As for whether that Horned Demon Bastard would fly into a rage and give her an even more excessive “punishment” because of this?

‘Hah, bring it on!’

It would be the perfect way to make her realize once more that this guy was an irredeemable pervert and a villain.

It would help her reclaim the hatred that had been worn away!

Su Nian’s thoughts drifted from the game and began to spin out of control.

Based on her understanding of this bastard, he would never tolerate being ignored for long.

So, what would he do?

Seeing that her attitude was too cold, would his angry punishment be… spanking her?

Or locking her up?

These thoughts flashed through her mind, but they didn’t stir much fear.

Thinking about it now, it wasn’t such a big deal.

The threat of the Horned Demon wasn’t as terrifying anymore.

This was because she now had leverage.

Her identity had become a crucial part of the Horned Demon’s plan.

No matter what happened, the Horned Demon wouldn’t dare kill her or humiliate her in front of outsiders, as that would subvert her existing persona.

The so-called “punishments” would ultimately be confined to this bedroom, turning into a tacit “game” between the two of them to harvest Humiliation Value.

For a moment, Su Nian even felt a ridiculous impulse.

She wanted to challenge the Horned Demon Lord’s bottom line to see exactly what he dared to do to her, all while collecting Humiliation Value along the way.

‘That “punishment” should be coming soon, right? Why am I actually a little bit excited?’

***

A moment later, the door to the master bedroom was gently closed.

The man’s tall figure disappeared at the end of the hallway leading to the bathroom.

The sound of running water could be heard faintly through the thick walls.

The tension in Su Nian’s back finally relaxed for a moment.

She peeked out from under the covers to glance in that direction.

Once she confirmed he had truly left, she buried herself back into the soft bedding.

It seemed tonight’s “punishment” wasn’t to serve him during his bath.

What could it be?

According to the small request she had made a few days ago, the Horned Demon Lord had to shower before getting into bed — and he had actually done it.

Did this count as a phased victory for her?

‘Hehehe. I’ll win tonight too.’

The angrier he got and the more overboard his “punishment” was, the more massive the Humiliation Value she would receive.

At the same time, the hatred she had forcibly suppressed would reignite, stomping that damn favorability back into the negatives.

A double win.

As in, Su Nian would win twice!

This thought made the corners of her mouth curl up uncontrollably with a hint of craftiness.

Just as she was immersed in the deduction of her perfect plan, the sound of the shower stopped.

A tall shadow loomed over her silently.

The light from the luxurious crystal chandelier overhead was completely blocked out.

She hadn’t even heard his footsteps.

The other side of the mattress sank deeply as a heavy body sat down, the soft fabric letting out a strained groan.

A familiar, aggressive masculine scent mixed with the fresh aroma of soap after a bath forced its way into her nose, overbearingly filling her every breath.

Su Nian did not look back.

Her heart pounded violently in her chest, and her blood raced through her veins, but her expression remained cold.

She simply buried her head deeper, her long golden hair cascading over the pillow like a waterfall, hiding most of her face.

Her fingertips tapped rapidly on the light screen of her Magic Phone, as if that small virtual world was her final fortress.

She deliberately avoided looking at him.

She wouldn’t look at the man’s freshly bathed body — those firm, broad shoulders, those well-defined abdominal muscles, or the water droplets sliding down the lines of his muscles, not yet dried.

The man leaned in.

His scorching body heat baked her back through her thin silk nightgown.

‘Come on!’ the voice in her heart clamored, ‘Quickly! Get angry at me, bully me harshly, and make that damn favorability drop!’

However, reality did not grant her wish.

A warm, large hand brushed gently over her soft golden hair with an irresistible force.

The temperature of his fingertips penetrated her hair and touched her scalp, triggering a dense, tingling sensation.

“Since you don’t want to see me so much…” A deep, playful voice sounded right against her ear.

His warm breath blew against her sensitive earlobe, instantly staining the small curve of her ear pink.

Su Nian’s body froze.

“…Then I won’t let you see.”

Before he finished speaking, her vision suddenly went black.

The world instantly plunged into a pure, absolute, and heart-pounding darkness.

A cool, smooth silk fabric was draped over her eyes.

“Aah!”

Instinctive panic caused her to let out a short scream, and the strings of her reason snapped in that moment.

“What are you doing?! I can’t see!”

She instinctively flailed her arms, wanting to tear the terrifying thing off her face.

But her wrists were easily caught in mid-air, and an overwhelming force twisted her arms behind her back.

At the same time, the effect of the [Blindfold of Shadowy Darkness] kicked in.

While depriving her of sight, it enhanced her other senses — including her physical sensations.
