Chapter 171: Waste, it really is such a waste!

"Not bad, Little Algol is very satisfied with this Gift of yours."

Algol put away her small mirror, her gaze fixed eagerly on Su Nian.

"So, can you let Little Algol have a beauty treatment every day? No matter what request you make, Little Algol will agree to it."

Upon hearing this, the corners of Su Nian's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Any request at all—Su Nian admitted he was a little tempted, but he still suppressed it.

"No way. Once a week at most, no more than that."

Did she really think maintaining the Spark didn't cost him anything? And was the constitution of a Star Spirit really so easy to change?

The consumption for him to give Algol a beauty treatment was quite significant, you know.

A great power that could be used to create worlds was being used by her for beauty treatments; Su Nian felt as if he could already hear the Spark wailing.

"Once a week isn't impossible, I suppose."

Algol muttered softly, though her tone still carried a hint of dissatisfaction.

However, she also knew that now was not the time for her to push her luck; she looked at Su Nian's face, a surge of greed welling up in her heart.

Once she broke free, she would definitely tie Su Nian to her side and make him help her with beauty treatments every day.

After all, ever since that failed challenge against the Gods and Buddhas of the Three Thousand Worlds, Algol had essentially given up on everything.

Aside from her appearance, there was nothing else Algol cared about.

For some reason, Su Nian inexplicably felt a chill run down his back, as if he were being targeted by someone with ill intentions.

Su Nian looked at Algol suspiciously and asked.

"Algol, were you just having some not-so-good thoughts?"

"Eh, Su Nian, you say, if I tie that ugly woman Athena to your bed, can you change the frequency to once every three days? Once every five days is fine too?"

Algol skillfully dodged Su Nian's previous question and tried to bargain.

Once a week was still too long; she couldn't wait that long.

Moreover, her Devil's intuition told her that when it came to dealing with Su Nian, sex appeal was the most effective.

And when it came to seduction, there was nothing better than Athena.

With a noble status, great strength, and widespread fame—aside from being a bit uglier than her, Algol, and having a petty heart, Athena was truly quite suitable for seduction.

Hearing this, Su Nian was left speechless.

How many drinks had Algol had to get this drunk?

He needed to stop Algol's madness; if he let her continue to ramble, heaven knows what other wild and crazy things she would say.

"Let's wait until you break free and regain your own power first."

"And regarding the beauty treatments, once a week, no more than that."

Su Nian said with a hint of severity.

Upon hearing Su Nian's tone, which brooked no refusal, Algol waved her hand with a sense of boredom.

"Well, let it be that way then. But really, can't we negotiate a little?"

Algol still wanted to struggle a bit more.

"No. Don't think this ability is easy to use."

Although it was nominally a beauty technique created for his own Spark, in reality, it was an advanced application of the Spark developed for Su Nian by Little Garden Central.

It was a stage after Su Nian had fully mastered the Creation Power of the Spark, involving the power of evolution to drive the development of the world.

After all, the constitution of a Star Spirit was truly difficult to change.

A Star Spirit, a life born from the convergence of the possibilities of the stars in the Infinite worlds, naturally possessed a Star Body that only Three-digit God Kings possessed.

And the evolution of stars was extremely slow, which led to the growth of Star Spirits being extremely slow as well; changing a Star Spirit's constitution was even more difficult.

Power that wasn't high-end enough couldn't even affect a Star Spirit; for Algol, ordinary beauty products were no longer enough to make her more beautiful.

Only by persisting with maintenance for thousands of years would it be possible for her appearance to change even a little bit.

That was why Algol was so tempted by Su Nian's ability to give her beauty treatments; after all, this was truly unique in Little Garden.

How could she not be tempted? It saved her thousands of years of time in one go.

"Alright, mask time is up. Little Algol is going back to do her beauty routine."

Algol saw that Su Nian's attitude was firm and there was no room for negotiation, so she lost interest.

Hearing this, Su Nian watched with an expressionless face as Algol's figure dissipated.

"Speaking of which, are there face masks inside Athena's seal?"

Su Nian fell into deep thought. With the authority of the Demon Star's master, Su Nian cast his gaze into the Demon Star on his wrist.

He saw the mask production line inside, as well as the Devils used to produce raw materials for various cosmetics, and various machines that had been transformed from Devils.

Su Nian fell silent. Good heavens, he exclaimed internally.

Could Demon Authority even be used like this?

Could it be said that this was typical Algol?

And to go to such great lengths, transforming Devils and the environment, just to produce cosmetics for herself.

Su Nian found it somewhat difficult to understand Algol's way of thinking.

Seriously, could Algol even use up everything she produced? Couldn't she take them out and sell them?

A waste, it really is such a waste!

【····You aren't any better yourself!!】

Little Garden Central silently watched the interaction between Su Nian and Algol, its mouth twitching; it couldn't help but feel that these two were unexpectedly well-matched.

Both were equally abstract.

After settling things with Algol, Su Nian calmly looked around at the prisoners within this Prison Barrier.

"How is it? My dear little lab rats."

The prisoners of the Prison Barrier looked at Su Nian with lingering fear, not daring to move a muscle.

They were terrified that if they moved their bodies again, that kind of Devil would be gestated within them once more.

"Don't be afraid, everyone. My experiment just failed earlier. Rest assured, next time, next time I will certainly succeed in corrupting you all into Devils."

What, there's a next time?

In an instant, the Prison Barrier became even quieter than before.

"Kill me, quickly kill me!!"

A gentleman wearing a top hat said in a breakdown, feeling a distorted, chaotic creature that did not belong to this world gestating inside his body, then bursting out from his chest.

It had already caused irreversible damage to his psyche.

"Hmm... it seems the little lab rats' mental states have developed a bit of a problem?"

Su Nian looked at the one who appeared to be a descendant of a Dragon Slayer, revealing a gentle smile, just like a responsible doctor.

"In that case, let's rewind their mental states as well."

With a snap of his fingers, the gentleman wearing the top hat returned to normal.

"Alright, who else has mental problems? I can treat you all together."

Su Nian revealed an extremely responsible, gentle smile, but just looking at this smile, even the prisoners with resilient minds felt a chill run through their entire bodies.

At this moment, they somewhat doubted how many times this had been.

"There's no running, there's no escaping, this is truly and utterly Hell..."

A bewitching woman slumped on the ground, revealing a foolish expression; she was a blood descendant of the Third True Ancestor, Ji Liule Qilaodilu.

"Have you given up on pointless struggling?"

Su Nian said in a gentle tone to the remaining prisoners who were still holding on, which of course included Sendou Aya, who had not encountered the experiment.

Yet, facing Su Nian's words, Sendou Aya did not dare to move, not even daring to breathe.

As for Ji Liule, who had just collapsed and slumped on the ground, she immediately changed into a kneeling posture and said with fear.

"Please spare me, I can give you anything!"

As she spoke, she stripped off her clothes, like a sow whose sanity had long since collapsed.

At this moment, Su Nian raised his eyebrows slightly and said indifferently.

"You are a blood descendant of Gada, right?"

"Ye-yes, I am a descendant of a confidant of the Chaos Empress Emperor."

Ji Liule, as if seeing a hope for survival, hurriedly tried to establish a connection.

"Do you know the Chaos Empress Emperor?"

At this moment, Su Nian said in an indifferent tone.

"You have brought shame upon her."

The fawning smile on Ji Liule's face froze; a light breeze blew past, and her time seemed to stop flowing, freezing her in place.

Su Nian, who was holding Nangong Nayue, turned around and looked at the last person.

The "Secretary Witch", Sendou Aya.

Looking at Sendou Aya, Su Nian revealed a smile.

"Alright, the miscellaneous people can no longer move, now we should be able to talk properly."

Saying this, Su Nian paused, as if he had suddenly remembered something, and looked down at the prison below.

"Almost forgot, I haven't dealt with them yet."

Because of the gestating Devils, even though Su Nian had already reverted their physical states, their minds were still broken.

After saying this, Su Nian raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.

Instantly, time began to flow backward, returning to the moment Su Nian had just turned the Prison Barrier into a Magic Card.

But time still had not begun to flow, frozen at that moment.

Sendou Aya watched all this with cold eyes, still acting as if everything had nothing to do with her.

It was just that deep down, she couldn't help but feel sorrow for these fellow prisoners of hers; they would likely never be able to escape this prison for all eternity.

"It took a little bit of effort, but it doesn't matter. The conversation can officially begin. I think you should have no objections, right?"

Sendou Aya moved her eyelids, looking at Nangong Nayue, who had a trace of nervousness on her face, and then looked at Su Nian, who was holding Nangong Nayue.

She said with a tone devoid of any fluctuation.

"No objections."

"Very good."

Su Nian held Nangong Nayue tighter and looked at Sendou Aya with a smile.

"I have only one purpose for seeking you out."

"I see that you look quite good, and my household is currently lacking a maid."

"So... either become my test subject, or become my maid."

"It's a very simple multiple-choice question, pick one?"

Su Nian looked at Sendou Aya and revealed a kind smile toward her.

"So, what is your answer?"

Sendou Aya's heart sank to the bottom.
