Colmer went out again and came back with more injuries. There was an additional wound on his front paw that was oozing a reddish hue.
It wasn’t until they were at the dining table that Wan Tong noticed. She extended her paw and lightly touched it.
Colmer only glanced at her without saying anything.
Her paw wasn’t even as big as one of his nail beds, so he wouldn’t feel any pain from her touch. However, her cautious movements and the worried look in her eyes felt like a feather gently brushing over his heart.
He realized that this little female not only had great courage but also seemed much smarter than the average female.
“Do you have a name?” he suddenly asked.
“Wan Tong,” she replied, but in her mind, she was discussing with Shishi on how to help the boss.
She couldn’t just stand by and watch the boss being bullied by Luca.
The most important thing right now was to get the boss treated. She could exchange a medical card for him, but she couldn’t find a suitable opportunity to use it. Otherwise, it would not only attract others’ attention but also raise suspicions from the boss.
“Okay,” Colmer replied nonchalantly.
In fact, Colmer knew Wan Tong’s name because during this mission, he had taken the opportunity to investigate her information in the Silver Wolf tribe.
Now, the Silver Wolf tribe almost believed the news that she was dead. In other words, he could claim her as his own.
With this thought, a dark gleam flashed in Colmer’s tiger eyes. It was only at this moment that he truly acknowledged his desire.
Even though he had nothing at the moment, he selfishly wanted to keep this little female by his side.
“A’Mer!” Reid rushed in from the doorway, and his eyes lit up when he saw Wan Tong. He had hurried here as soon as he heard that Colmer had returned from the mission, as Colmer always got injured.
He finally found an opportunity to meet the little female!
The little female had grown a bit and was now nestled beside Kolmer’s paw, looking somewhat charming and adorable!
“Little female, I’m Reid, do you remember me? I brought you many fun things,” Reid said as he sat down and took out various toys.
A few days ago, he had gone to the Hundred Flowers Palace to get the females treated and saw that they had many toys and were having a great time. So, he had secretly collected some toys immediately!
Wan Tong still had some interest in toys, but when she saw him take out the tambourine, she rolled her eyes.
It’s better to bring her some food.
Females naturally eat less, and Wan Tong’s stomach seems even more delicate, and she eats even less.
Fortunately, Damon has a companion, so buying female food outside did not attract anyone’s attention.
Seeing Wan Tong’s lack of interest, Reid also felt a bit discouraged. It seems she doesn’t like it.
At this moment, Wan Tong pointed to the wound on Colmer’s paw and softly said, “Can you please help Colmer with his wound first?”
“Oh, okay—what did you say?” When Reid reacted, he stared at Wan Tong with his emerald eyes, his body stiffening.
Little female, she’s talking!
Wan Tong repeated it, and Reid nodded in a daze.
It felt like a little claw scratched his heart. She was cuter than any female in the Hundred Flowers Palace!
There were also Snow Cat Clan females in the Hundred Flowers Palace, but they didn’t seem as agile as her, often timidly hiding in corners.
While Reid was treating Colmer’s wound, Colmer suddenly picked up a cat wand from a pile of toys…
Seeing the sudden appearance of the object in front of her, she instinctively reached out to grab it.
Colmer controlled the cat wand and didn’t let her touch it.
Watching Wan Tong’s focused and eager appearance, a hint of tenderness appeared in his dark red eyes.
When he was a child, he once knocked over a small box of his father’s, which was filled with various cat wands.
The cat wand moved up and down, left and right, and Wan Tong wanted to restrain herself, but for some reason, she couldn’t take her eyes off it, nor could she control her paws…
Meow! A human soul like her couldn’t overcome the cat’s nature!
Reid’s mouth twitched, and he glared at Colmer.
Colmer was actually playing with the little female using the toys he bought!
Why did he feel like he had become the matchmaker?
But… the little female was so cute that he felt happy just looking at her~
Colmer didn’t have time to rest when he returned from the mission, and he was called away in the afternoon.
But he left a study plan for Wan Tong.
Wan Tong would no longer have any free time in the days to come.
Damon’s companion is called Yueying. Her bloodline is impure, and it is said that her appearance is a combination of a fox and a wolf.
The average lifespan of shapeshifters is around 150 years, and Yueying seems to be around 27 years old, but she is as innocent as a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl and has a bit of a memory problem.
Yueying really likes Wan Tong, but Damon doesn’t give them any time alone. Despite Yueying’s appearance, she has considerable strength, and she’s not very gentle. She might accidentally hurt the young female.
Damon is around fifty years old, which is the prime age for shapeshifters. He looks quite young and handsome, with muscles as robust as a small hill.
He coaxes Yueying with a smile every day, and that flattering attitude…makes Wan Tong feel somewhat surreal.
Later, when Colmer returned from a mission, he explained to her that Yueying actually prefers the other companion, Mason1.
Wan Tong was a bit curious and asked for the reason. But Colmer glanced at her with his reddish eyes and just said, “I’ll tell you when you’re older.”
Wan Tong: “…” Why is he being so mysterious.
However, Wan Tong soon found out the reason.
Late at night, Mason suddenly got into a fight with Damon in the yard. Wan Tong was woken up by the noise and got out of bed.
Colmer on the carpet opened his red eyes and looked over.
“Colmer, what’s happening?” Wan Tong asked, still half-asleep with her eyelids drooping.
“Uncle and Mason are fighting, go back to sleep.”
But as soon as Wan Tong heard this, her mind instantly woke up, and her sky-blue eyes emitted a gleam of curiosity.
“Colmer…” She called out suggestively, “A’Mer?”
“…,” Colmer couldn’t pretend not to have heard, slowly got up, came to the edge of the bed, and picked her up, then placed her on the windowsill.
Pulling the curtains aside, Wan Tong saw the two men in the yard locked in a heated fight.
She knew that the adult shapeshifters here were all quite large, except for a few smaller groups.
Compared to Damon’s imposing figure, Mason was about ten centimeters shorter, standing at around 180 centimeters. He was also leaner, lacking Damon’s bulging muscles.
The difference in strength quickly put Mason at a disadvantage. At that moment, Yueying ran out and, regardless of the ongoing fight, rushed to Mason.
The two men stopped just in time to avoid hurting her. However, Yueying went directly to Mason and started crying while hugging him.
Vaguely, Wan Tong heard Yueying’s complaints, mentioning that Damon had bullied her and so on.
Gradually, Wan Tong began to sense that something was amiss.
At this moment, Colmer swiftly pulled the curtains shut and carried her back to the bed.
“Go to sleep,” he said in a deep voice.
On the soft bed, Wan Tong rolled over and suddenly understood the meaning of Colmer’s earlier words.
Just now, Yueying had complained, saying that Demon was too big, making her uncomfortable, and that she no longer liked him, and she wanted to be with Mason.
So Yueying didn’t like Damon because of the size mismatch…
No wonder both Damon and Mason had stiff expressions just now.
If it weren’t for the fur on her face, Wan Tong felt like she would definitely be blushing now. She and Colmer had actually been eavesdropping on someone’s argument about this.
But the shapeshifters were always open-minded, so this wasn’t a big deal when discussed openly.
Colmer didn’t let Wan T;ong continue eavesdropping because he felt she wasn’t ready for this kind of education yet.
“Colmer, do you think Uncle Damon will let Yueying go?” Wan Tong couldn’t control her gossiping spirit and climbed back to the edge of the bed, poking her furry little head out and looking at the white tiger lying on the carpet.
Kolmer met her shiny eyes and lightly tapped his tail on the carpet. He whispered, “Mason can’t beat Demon.”
“Oh…” Wan Tong nodded, “Then Uncle Damon definitely won’t let Yueying go. He really likes her, tells her jokes every day, and hugs and kisses her all the time.”
Colmer’s eyes narrowed slightly, but his gaze still gently swept over the snowy white cat. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, “Do you like that kind of thing?”
Wan Tong felt like she had acted too mature, so she didn’t pursue this topic further. She tilted her head in confusion and asked, “Colmer, do you not like sleeping with me?”
He always lay on the carpet, which wasn’t good.
This bed was made according to his size, extremely huge, and her body didn’t take up much space.
Colmer hesitated for a moment and then replied, “I don’t mind sleeping anywhere.”
Wan Tong patted the bed with her little paw. “Then come up and sleep with me.”
Kolmer couldn’t resist the temptation and leaped onto the bed, lying down in the center.
Wan Tong hurried over and looked at the soft white fur on his belly, suddenly reminded of the feeling of the slide from before…
Her gaze was too hot, and Kolmer couldn’t pretend not to notice.
He closed his dark red eyes, slowed his breathing, as if falling asleep.
Wan Tong was originally lying on his face, but now seeing that Colmer had no reaction, she got up and moved to his side.
However, she didn’t use the ‘slide’ because it wasn’t a good time for exercise in the middle of the night.
She gently used her claws to stroke the soft and warm white fur a few times, then lay down.
There was a pleasant scent on Colmer’s body. She had thought it was just her imagination in the ruins before, but now she could clearly feel it.
It was an aroma that made her feel all overjoyed and completely trust him…
Not long after, the room fell so silent that it seemed like you could hear a heartbeat. Colmer slowly opened his eyes, revealing a hint of red light.
After that moment of sharpness, all that remained was gentleness.
He lowered his head and looked at the Snow Cat curled up on his abdomen, clutching a few strands of his white fur with her paws.
Colmer didn’t dare to move, he just lifted his tail and placed it across the Snow Cat’s body, stabilizing her position.
