Chu Feng looked down at the girl nestled against him.

She gazed up at him through tear-blurred eyes, her small face filled with boundless grievance and fear.

The girl's trembling, frightened voice—and the way she called his name—stirred an overwhelming urge to protect her in his heart.

She was so beautiful and captivating that he would gladly give his life to protect her.

“Xiao Yun'er, let's go. I'll take you away from this frightening place.”

……

Su Yun was once again—yet again—in Chu Feng's arms.

By now, she was starting not to care anymore.

How many times had Chu Feng held her like this already?

If letting Chu Feng hold her could earn her a whole lot of humiliation points, she was willing to put up with it.

“Ding-dong! Host has completed the mission: contact main-story character Chu Feng and... show him your vulnerable side, the side that needs protection. Reward: 300,000 humiliation points. Equipment bonus increases the total to 690,000 humiliation points.”

Sweet!

690,000 humiliation points in the bag.

……

After Chu Feng carried Su Yun into the car, he kept holding her in his arms.

She struggled a little, but he refused to let her go no matter what.

Forget it. Let him.

The 690,000 humiliation points she'd earned today had come a little too easily. She could treat being held in Chu Feng's arms as an extra mission.

Su Yun rested her head to one side and closed her eyes.

So much had happened today: the ball... the kidnapping... the ball gag... killing Ding Kai... pretending to be kidnapped... getting Chu Feng to rescue her.

And she'd earned over a million humiliation points.

At least she hadn't let herself down after making up her mind to approach Chu Feng.

First, they went to the police station to give their statements. Then they handed over the people they'd already subdued.

As for Ding Kai, who'd gone missing, that was their problem.

With her looking so fragile in Chu Feng's arms, no one would ever guess that she'd used her ability to burn Ding Kai to ash.

Besides, there wasn't any evidence.

……

After getting back into the car, Su Yun pretended to be sleepy so Chu Feng wouldn't hold her in his arms again.

Then she lay on her side across the row of seats.

When the car stopped, she woke up.

Only then did she notice that something was wrong.

Where was this?

This wasn't her damn house.

Right in front of her stood an extremely luxurious villa.

Where the hell had that bastard Chu Feng brought her? Could he be a bad guy too?

“Where are we?” Su Yun demanded.

“This is my house.” Chu Feng patted her head as he answered.

“Your place isn't very safe right now. If someone could kidnap you once, they could do it again.”

……

Damn it. Say what you have to say, but why are you patting my head?

But Chu Feng had a point. If she'd really been kidnapped, then her own home wasn't very safe right now.

But she wasn't scared!

Besides, Ding Kai, the one behind the kidnapping, was already dead.

She didn't want to go to Chu Feng's house. She wanted to go home.

“Ding-dong! Main story mission triggered: Spend the night in a guest room at Chu Feng's house. Mission reward: 100,000 humiliation points.”

Well, then.

She'd just treat it like staying at a hotel.

At least the mission only required her to stay in a guest room at Chu Feng's house.

She and Chu Feng wouldn't be sharing a room, so no matter what happened, it couldn't be more awkward than that hotel room last time.

……

Su Yun stepped into Chu Feng's villa.

It had looked luxurious from the outside, but inside, it felt even more upscale.

It wasn't that the design was especially elaborate.

Even a layperson could tell that every tile and every piece of furniture in the villa had been chosen with meticulous attention to the quality of its materials.

Chu Feng showed her around the villa, helping her get familiar with the different rooms before leading her to one of them.

“Xiao Yun'er, I prepared this room for you. Do you like it?”

The room had off-white walls, a princess bed draped in pure white gauze, and a walk-in closet half the size of an ordinary bedroom...

It was huge!

It was even bigger than the hotel suite she'd shared with Chu Feng.

And a room this big was only a guest room.

She was so jealous.

“Xiao Yun'er, you must be exhausted today. I won't disturb you. Get some rest.” With that, Chu Feng made a show of being a gentleman and left her room.

Su Yun let out a sigh of relief.

It looked like this 100,000-point mission would be pretty easy.

She'd danced today, been carried around... She'd worked up quite a sweat.

She needed to take a proper bath tonight.

Fortunately, the room had its own bathroom.

Wait!

When had Chu Feng ever been this well-behaved?

Whenever he saw her, he'd always get handsy. Now that she'd come to his house, was he really going to behave himself?

No way!

Thinking of that, she set a B-rank lightning trap by the door, then went to take a bath.

Actually...

What if Chu Feng really tried to sneak into her room in the middle of the night and got electrocuted to death? That would be a problem.

Chu Feng was one of her main sources of humiliation points right now.

She hurriedly replaced the B-rank lightning trap with a D-rank paralysis trap.

This trap was mainly meant to restrain an enemy. It didn't do much damage.

So it couldn't electrocute anyone to death. At most, it'd give Chu Feng a painful shock.

She stepped into the bathroom.

Warm water ran over her body.

It felt incredibly soothing.

Ever since she'd become a girl, her body had been extremely sensitive. Even a little sweat or dust made her uncomfortable, so she was used to taking a hot bath every day.

……

In the living room, Chu Feng secretly held the spare key to Su Yun's room and crept up to the second floor.

At this hour, Xiao Yun'er was either taking a bath or already asleep.

And then... heh heh.

Once he reached the door, Chu Feng slipped the key into the lock.

Then he felt a jolt of electricity.

“Aah!!”

……

Inside the bathroom,

Su Yun heard the loud scream outside the door.

She laughed to herself.

“Hmph! You think you can sneak into my room at night? You're way out of your league.”

……

“Damn it, what kind of electrician wired this place? Why is there electricity in the door lock?”

Chu Feng, still tingling from the shock, cursed furiously.

His arm was so badly shocked he couldn't even lift it. Looks like he wouldn't be going to the office tomorrow.

……

The next day.

At 8:30 a.m., Su Yun got up, looking completely satisfied.

She'd slept straight through until morning.

Chu Feng had probably already gone to the office by now, which meant she was all alone in this huge villa.

She changed into her everyday clothes, replacing the [Goddess's Collar] around her neck with a black satin ribbon she wore around the house.

She changed her earrings, bracelets, and rings too, swapping them for more ordinary styles.

After all, it wasn't the night of the ball anymore.

She was just about to go downstairs for a walk, then get ready for the 9 a.m. Salvation Conference.

That's when she saw three people in the living room.

Chu Feng, Chen Shasha, and Jiang Wenbin, Chu Feng's assistant.

When Su Yun came downstairs in Chu Feng's house, Chen Shasha and Jiang Wenbin stared at her in shock.

“So the rumors in the company chat were true! We really do have a boss's wife!” Jiang Wenbin exclaimed.

“Divine... have you two already moved in together?” Chen Shasha asked cautiously.

At the same time, Chen Shasha marveled to herself.

She'd thought the Divine Maiden was a little slow to catch on when it came to romance, and that she wouldn't make the first move. She never expected things to move this quickly.

They'd gone to a ball together last night, and tonight they were already living together.

The Divine Maiden really was something!
