The Dark Sentinel Is Carrying My Baby

[The story begins right where the blurb leaves off] Everyone in the Tower knows that the guide Jiang Li and the sentinel Chi Ye can't stand each other. Jiang Li is a D-rank guide whose spirit form is a palm-sized puppy. He's useless and laid-back, but his vast mental domain lets him achieve a 60% compatibility rate with most sentinels, making him a big shot in the Tower. Chi Ye is a Dark Sentinel, a once-in-a-century phenomenon and a human weapon who has killed countless enemies with ruthless methods. He can control his own five senses and needs no guide's comfort. Chi Ye on Jiang Li: “Useless. Scum. A fucking pervert.” Jiang Li on Chi Ye: “A forever-alone type. He definitely can't get it up.” During a dangerous large-scale mission, dozens of sentinels were trapped, and Jiang Li was pushed into going to rescue them. Under a moonless sky, beneath a sheer cliff, he found a man on the verge of death. In a hurry, he released his guide pheromones to ease the man's pain, but this triggered heat. Their mental landscapes fused, and they spent a wild, passionate night together. At dawn, Jiang Li opened his eyes to see a handsome, dark-skinned face beneath lustrous silver hair, and a sharp dagger pressed to his throat. “Only you and I know what happened, along with our spirit forms. If a third person hears about this, I'll kill you.” A guide-sentinel bond is permanent and irreversible, but the other man's mental barrier was impenetrable. Jiang Li couldn't sense a single thought, so he swallowed his pride and tearfully agreed. “I'll be a dog if I tell anyone.” Damn it. Just wait until we get back to the Tower. I'll destroy you! Once back, Jiang Li immediately rounded up more than a dozen sentinel buddies to ambush Chi Ye in an alley and throw a sack over his head. But Chi Ye disappeared like a ghost, vanishing for a whole month. Jiang Li spent the month waiting, and the whole time he was seething with frustration. When the other man finally showed up, Jiang Li once again found a knife held to his throat. Chi Ye: “You're pregnant. We're getting married. If you dare be a scumbag, I'll skin you alive.” Jiang Li: “???” Jiang Li: “!!!” #My Archrival Got Pregnant with My Baby and Became My Wife# [Bonus Scene] To support his little one, the lazy Jiang Li unexpectedly went to the leader. “I'd like a long-term S-rank assignment. My mental domain is wide enough to fight alongside six sentinels at once, so I should get six salaries. Also, could I get an advance?” The leader was confused, but just as he was about to agree, “Bang!” The office's titanium-alloy doors were kicked right off their hinges. A two-meter-tall ferocious beast lunged in and snatched up the tiny puppy yipping on the floor. The silver-haired, dark-skinned sentinel who appeared afterward rested a hand on his slightly rounded belly, his expression inscrutable. “Six sentinels? You've got some nerve.” Pairing: Lazy guide top x ruthless sentinel bottom [Reading Guide] 1. Top's POV, strong leads on both sides (the top pretends to be weak), doting on each other (though they'll fight, especially the bottom, who is extremely ferocious; readers who dislike that, beware), one-on-one, happy ending. 2. A marriage-first, love-later story, not a child-rearing story. 3. The top is very popular and has a slight universally adored quality. 4. A basic guide-sentinel setting with some original additions. Please don't apply the settings from other guide-sentinel stories to this one. 5. The leads' spirit forms are unusual (hehe). Theme: Turn hostility into friendship. Long live peace!
