The Fluffy Fur of a Cold Sentinel Has Me Wrapped Around Its Paw!

[Cool, domineering gong and cute shou, sweet size-difference romance, snow leopard x leopard cat 🐾]

[Synopsis 3 has been removed]

1.

"Xi Mizhou is bad and mean, a really vicious sentinel!"

Surrounded by the base's spirit beasts, Yuan Shao listens to their complaints and asks, "He's number one on the points leaderboard. Is he S-rank or A-rank? He must be the strongest here, right?"

"He's just bad! And mean!"

"Then what does he look like?"

"His hair is this, long, and his face is this, pale." The rabbit pulls down its own ears and pouts with its three-lobed mouth. "You'll know when you see him!"

Not long afterward, Yuan Shao runs into him and thinks he's definitely easy to recognize.

The man is tall and straight-backed, his expression icy. Blood drips thickly from the ends of his hair, and the murderous aura around him makes everyone keep their distance.

They pass each other, but Yuan Shao freezes and sniffs in confusion. His pheromones smell so familiar. Why are they like those of the fluffy creature that keeps him company at night?

2.

On the very night he arrives at the base, a snow leopard pounces on him.

Yuan Shao is a guide with top-tier mental strength. Seeing the leopard is injured, he feels sorry for it and heals it.

After that, the snow leopard keeps coming over in the middle of the night, eagerly mewling, licking his hand, taking over his bed, and wrapping its tail around his waist.

Pinned down once again, Yuan Shao wakes up groggily. He rubs his face against the snow leopard's neck with practiced ease, rests his head on its soft belly, and soothes it. "Be a good kitty and go to sleep..."

Half asleep, he thinks that Xi Mizhou is so cold and distant, nothing like this clingy snow leopard.

3.

The base is thriving, but the other spirit beasts steer clear of him.

Yuan Shao asks why, and the animals shoot him accusatory looks.

"You're covered in someone else's pheromones! Shame on you!" The rabbit covers its eyes with its ears. "That nasty sentinel ate you up! So mean!"

Yuan Shao's ears burn. He tries to explain in a panic, but the spirit beast in front of him lets out a shriek and scurries away.

Confused, he turns around, only to bump into someone's chest.

The mean and vicious sentinel looks down at him.

He's very tall, and his shadow nearly swallows Yuan Shao whole. His face is cold as ice. Yuan Shao grows a little frightened in the silence. He racks his brains but can't remember what he might have done to offend him on any particular night, and he's so anxious he could almost cry.

Several seconds later, the man finally speaks.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know it was doing that without permission..."

He pauses, then adds, "I'll take responsibility."

Huh?

Yuan Shao stares up at him, utterly bewildered.

4.

It seems Xi Mizhou is pursuing him.

It takes Yuan Shao ages to realize it.

The base commander is delighted and says that their compatibility is so high, they might as well become partners.

Becoming partners means overcoming the mating heat. Many guides and sentinels form a physical bond as well as a mental link to improve their compatibility...

Yuan Shao's thoughts go all over the place, and his cheeks burn.

"Are you uncomfortable?" Xi Mizhou asks.

"No!" he denies in a panic. Seeing the serious look on Xi Mizhou's face makes him even more embarrassed.

Xi Mizhou is so clueless. He probably doesn't understand any of this...

Not long afterward, Yuan Shao is tightly wrapped in a leopard's tail. Xi Mizhou holds his trembling cat ears between his lips, while his other hand plays with the base of his tail.

Whimpering, Yuan Shao tearfully takes back what he said.

A low-socialized human weapon x a high-attack, low-defense princess-and-the-pea

🥵 Scheming demon x spoiled, silly sweetheart, size-difference romance, both virgins, sweet and spicy

1.

Zhong Su comes from a wealthy family and was raised as the apple of everyone's eye. He's exceptionally pretty and innocent.

With nothing better to do, he orders a mystery box from an antique shop.

Inside are crystals, ornaments, a vial of magic potion... and a lovely piece of parchment covered in elegant English script.

He reads it aloud casually. The ink comes alive and rearranges itself into a glowing mark. The accompanying information says that if you know a demon's true name, you can command it in exchange for a small price.

The paper is clearly a contract of servitude for some unlucky demon.

He bought a demon? Is that for real?

He thinks it's a joke, but soon discovers that the cold, aloof campus heartthrob has the exact same mark.

2.

They say Shen Xiangxing comes from a poor family and is a loner. He has an outstanding face, but never gives anyone the time of day.

Once again, he walks alone and gets stopped.

The doll-like young master tilts his head up and says bluntly, "Shen, you wouldn't want everyone else to find out your secret, would you?"

His lips part as he speaks the demon's true name.

"What do you want me to do?" Shen Xiangxing lowers his eyes and asks lazily.

Zhong Su came south to attend school by himself. He doesn't know anyone and is terribly bored.

He coughs, embarrassed, and his voice grows quieter.

"...Keep me company."

3.

Shen Xiangxing really is poor. The only price he asks for the command is a little money. Zhong Su is quite pleased with himself: he has a demon valet who comes whenever he calls!

For convenience, Shen Xiangxing moves into his apartment.

When Zhong Su acts spoiled and doesn't want to get up for his eight o'clock class, a door appears in his bedroom that leads straight to the classroom building. When he keeps losing at games, Shen Xiangxing takes over and carries him to victory, winning all night long.

Even when Zhong Su gets curious and wants to touch his wings and horns, it's no problem.

But the price starts getting stranger and stranger.

A bite on the neck is one thing, but one time Zhong Su tries to give another order. Shen Xiangxing stares at him, smiles, and says:

"Kiss me for a minute."

You've got to be kidding! This demon is insatiable!

Zhong Su's ears turn bright red. He kicks him out and fumes that he'll never call on him again.

It isn't long before he gets lonely and thinks, I even know his true name. Why should I be afraid of a demon?

It's just paying a price, as long as it's nothing too outrageous...

4.

I should've refused from the start.

This sort of thing gets addictive. Zhong Su keeps making excuses to order Shen Xiangxing around even when he can't think of anything else to ask. He's been kissed into total surrender...

Late at night, he secretly opens a kissing video he recorded by accident.

On screen, his toes can barely touch the ground, and no matter what he does, he can't break free.

Shen Xiangxing has lost his usual cold demeanor. He holds Zhong Su close and kisses him until his face is flushed and tears are about to fall. He looks thoroughly bullied.

Zhong Su bites his finger and curls up under the covers, dizzy and flushed. Unable to resist, he rewinds the video and watches it again, reliving how it felt during the day.

With a ding, a message arrives, as if he's being monitored:

[The price of your next command is ■■]

[Are you still willing?]

After reading it, Zhong Su nearly throws his phone away.

His face is bright red, his heart pounds, and his eyes can't focus.

...Fine, let's do it!

Can't this young master even sleep with a demon?

[No shou-bashing to praise the gong or gong-bashing to praise the shou]
