Kiss

Any cat person knew the trick of getting closer to a cat, which was all about patience. One should reach out and patiently wait till the cat came closer and smelt so that it’d be familiar with one’s smell and then let its guard down.
Nyx crouched near the swing and held out a hand toward the kitten expertly. With her years of experience, not a single kitten could resist her charm; she believed the same went for this cotton candy in front of her.
As she expected, it cocked its head, looked at her, jumped lightly off the swing, came to her, and sniffed her hand while circling her.
Little did she know her smell was nothing but familiar to the kitten; upon sensing her smell in the Royal Garden, it pined for the smell so much that it threw caution to the wind and chased her all the way here.
Instantly, the kitten buried itself in her arms, meowing sweetly while playing cute, wriggling so much that its belly was out without guard.
No one would have guessed that such a clingy little kitten was a strong, majestic White Tiger just a few minutes ago.
The beast form of the royal Males was tigers, and that of the Crown Prince, a rare SS–level Male, was a White Tiger–not just any tiger; it was the White Tiger, the Divine Beast.
Beastmen who awakened the blood of the Divine Beast could revert to their Youth Form, similar to the energy–saving mode of machines. The Youth Form helped them better avoid danger and accumulate energy.
The Youth Form of the White Tiger was different from that of ordinary tigers. It didn’t look like a tiger cub but more like a small white kitten, distinguished only by the clump of dark hair on its forehead.
It was an absolute royal secret that no one but the royal family knew about. And of course, Nyx had no idea that the adorable kitten curling in her arms was the Crown Prince of the Empire.
She couldn’t help but be stunned when she saw the kitten throw itself in her arms; she had expected it to be aloof from its looks, yet it turned out to be the chummiest kitten she had encountered in years.
Clearly, the kitten liked her a lot. It stared at her face with its big, watery eyes, seducing her to stroke its soft belly while stretching its paw in mid–air rhythmically, a sign of relaxation and pleasure.
Its meow was soft and pleasant to hear, tugging at her heartstrings and making her smile. She held its round cheeks in both hands and stroked them gently with her fingers, and it felt so good that it squinted, lifted its face, and purred.
After a while, she changed her tactics; she started to scratch its chin with one hand and then deliberately let go. Sensing this, the kitten hurriedly wrapped its paws around her wrist, wanting her to keep petting it.
Its dorky, cute look made her heart melt. Bending down, she kissed its furry head non–stop. Other kittens would surely act pretentiously and dodge; though they’d let her kiss them, none would be enjoying her kiss this much like this cotton candy.
As she looked at the kitten, her gaze inadvertently fell on a certain spot, and she clicked her tongue. ‘Such a clingy little kitten is actually a tomcat,‘ she thought.
She wasn’t a pervert and wouldn’t touch its testicles, of course. It raised its head and looked at her innocently, unaware that it had just dodged a bullet.
The two hours she spent waiting for Coleman were so fulfilled with the company of this kitten who showed up out of the
blue.

The more she looked at it, the more it reminded her of cotton candy; besides, it was so clingy and sweet. She named a Cotton Candy, nicknamed Candy.
The Crown Prince now went with Cotton Candy–a true shocker. But at this moment, both Nyx and Comon Candy were enjoying themselves, and he responded eagerly whenever she called him “Cotton Candy” or simply “Cany
Nyx broke a soft branch and hung a bright flower on its front to use it as a cat teaser. It was perhaps the simplest cat sewer that had ever existed, but Cotton Candy loved it so much.
With his tail up in the air, he jumped up tirelessly and seemed never to grow tired. Nyx, however, felt fatigued and surrendered. She put down the branch and rubbed his furry head. “Tll fetch you something to eat.”
There was no cat food at home, but she knew cats were carnivores and could eat meat She found a small chicken breast and an egg in the kitchen, and after some hesitation, she chose to let Cotton Candy have cooked food
As she was about to cook, Zayne stopped her. “Let me. How would you like it?”
“Cut the meat into mince, add an egg yolk, and steam it.” As she met his gaze filled with surprise, she added. “It’s for a kitem” That explained the simple cooking method and the exclusion of any seasoner.
He paused. “A kitten? What kitten?”
Smiling, she said, “I bumped into a kitten in the yard. He’s as white as you. And he’s got a clump of hair on his forehead Re that of a tiger cub. You have no idea–he’s so cute.”
Unlike her, Zayne was greatly alarmed. He took a deep breath and decided he needed to do a good job of beefing up the villa’s security system on behalf of Theon.
The lion losing control broke in because it was Theon, who passed the villa’s biometrics without triggering the alarm and eviction defenses. But this time, it was a cat that came out of nowhere.
What if it was a Male Beastmen who was up to no good? It entered the villa so easily, which pur Nyx in a very dangerous situation.
At Zayne’s urging, Nyx had no choice but to lead him to the swing. However, there was no sign of Cotton Candy. She searched every corner of the courtyard, but he along with the cat teaser she made was gone.
Zayne was certain the kitten didn’t want him to find it. He said, looking sullen, “There are no wild animals on Central Planet, and stray pets are rescued by special agencies. No one knows where the cat comes from; it’s most likely a Beastman”
Shaking her head, Nyx disagreed. “He’s just a kitten.” Her conclusion was based on the existence of the black mist, which was nowhere near Cotton Candy.
Zayne begged to differ as she hadn’t seen many Beastmen in their beast form at all; the insufficient sample size couldn’t support her judgment. However, he did admit that using black mist to judge wasn’t completely unreasonable.
That special black mist that only she could see was closely related to Male Beastmen’s Loss of Control Index, and any Male Beastman might lose control, including underage ones; it was just that their Index was mostly below 30, making them relatively safe.
On second thought, maybe that cat really was just a cat. With this, Zayne relaxed a little and decided not to dwell on it for
now.
Cotton Candy ran away, and there was no one Nyx could cook for; she felt a sense of loss uncontrollably. The good thing was that it was almost 3:00, and Coleman arrived in advance.

Her sadness was diluted by her enthusiasm for learning. She quickly changed into a proper dress and welcomed Colentan together with Zayne.
Unlike the photo on his resume, Coleman was a true gentleman in real life. The fine lines around his eyes didn’t dimitiis his charm at all; they instead made him more mature.
His every move exuded an elegant charm, overshadowing countless young Males
At the sight of him, Zayne couldn’t help but tense up.
