The powerful leader was tough on the outside but soft on the inside; the aloof major general fell fo

Ashel had no idea how coy and unbearable his words sounded to the other insect's ears.

Female insects rarely take initiative.

Would Ashel really be so proactive towards me?

It seems I was wrong to think Ashel disliked me.

Cen Li's gaze wandered again, unsure where to settle.

Ashleigh is testing his already fragile self-control.

"My lord, are you unwilling?"

But Ashel asked again in her ear.

Ashleigh talked twice as much as usual tonight, pressing him relentlessly. Cen Li had never wanted Ashleigh to be quieter as much as he did now.

Ash felt the grip on the female insect tighten around his wrist, before he could loosen his hold on her.

"That's really what I think..."

The two insects, their gazes locked, both understood the unspoken message.

"……Um."

Humiliation Value +99

Ash's soft response and the system's notification blended together, giving Cen Li his answer.

Ash's face was slightly flushed, as if he was embarrassed and ashamed of himself.

Cen Li felt like he was going crazy.

At this moment, Ashleigh seemed to become both innocent and bold, her amber eyes seemingly conveying something directly.

The system notifications kept coming incessantly, without stopping for the next few minutes.

"Then go to sleep!"

Cen Li said it almost through gritted teeth.

Humiliation Value +999

Ash was in a daze; when he got the answer he wanted, he felt like he was in a dream.

Of course, there are also hidden expectations.

The powerful ruler gripped his hand tightly.

Ash was pushed onto the bed, and a corner of the blanket was lifted, revealing his eyes, which were like those of a fawn, filled with unease and anticipation.

The powerful ruler bent down.

Ashel stared as Cen Li's face drew closer and closer, his heart pounding.

then,

He was... wrapped in a blanket?

The male ruler also lay down beside him.

Ash was startled and turned his head as if trying to confirm something, but his vision was blocked by the blanket covering his head.

"sleep!"

Ashel: ?

This was somewhat different from what he had imagined about sleeping.

It shouldn't be this naive.

Just chatting under the covers?

No, it seems he and the male ruler didn't even exchange a single word...

Unable to see Ash's face, and with those expressive and heart-melting eyes obscured, Cen Li let out a heavy sigh.

The female insect, buried in the blanket, became docile again and made no sound.

It seems like no matter how much you bully them, they won't fight back.

Ultimately, they were still afraid that if too much time passed, the female insect would suffocate in the blankets. Given Ashir's quiet nature, even if she was in pain, she wouldn't speak up.

A sliver of light pierced the darkness, and then the outside scene became fully visible.

Ash took a breath of fresh air.

Cen Li saw that Ash'er's face was flushed, and he wondered if it was because he was holding back. Ash'er's eyes were bright and his eyelashes were fluttering.

With a snap, Cen Li covered Ash'er's eyes, his palm completely obscuring those expressive eyes.

"Close your eyes and go to sleep."

Ashel froze instantly.

Only her eyelashes fluttered gently from moment to moment.

Frustrated, Cen Li warned in a low voice, "Don't blink again."

Ashel obediently complied again and didn't blink once more.

No longer feeling the itch from the palm of his hand, Cen Li felt as if he were possessed, and his demands were unreasonable and rude.

He moved his hand away.

Ashel has driven me crazy...

The gazes from the side remained intense.

Cen Li paused, then reached out and rubbed the wall beside him, making a soft sound.

The next second, the lights in the room went out.

It was pitch black and very quiet.

Only shallow breathing could be heard.

Ashel was wrapped in a blanket, with only his head showing.

Although things didn't go as he had expected, he was now lying in the same bed as the male ruler, the blankets were warm and cozy, and Ashel found it unbelievable.

But the soft touch beneath him gave him a sense of reality.

As time slowly passed, a chill crept up onto the exposed skin.

There was only one quilt on the bed, which Cen Li gave to Ashel, who was feeling a bit cold.

He muttered to himself, "I should have turned the room temperature up a bit."

Hearing the rustling sounds coming from the side, Ashel couldn't help but speak up.

"My lord, are you cold?"

"You gave me all the blankets."

The sudden voice startled Cen Li.

He thought Ashel was asleep and was about to quietly get out of bed to go next door to get a blanket to cover himself.

The male insects here are weak and prone to illness; even a minor injury or ailment can take them up to half a month to recover.

The original owner's physical condition was considered good, but Cen Li didn't dare to overestimate it.

A blanket was draped around my waist, and a little warmth came over me.

Hearing the noise, Ashel continued to pull the blanket up, almost covering half of Cen Li's body.

"No need, you can cover it yourself."

The room was completely dark, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. Cen Li stopped the female insect's movements and spoke up to stop her.

I don't know where I touched it, but my fingertips felt warm and soft.

Ashel fell silent instantly and made no further movement.

Cen Liwei breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief, sat up, and got out of bed.

He went next door and got a blanket.

Cen Li would feel uncomfortable if he were wrapped up in the same quilt as the female insect.

Lying back in bed, Cen Li reviewed the overly exciting night.

He felt he had grasped the essence of how to quickly gain humiliation points.

The system now admires its host immensely, praising Cen Li relentlessly and using every word of praise it can muster.

"Host, you are the most awesome host I have ever seen! Without a doubt."

"Effortless and hardworking."

"This is unbelievable! I guarantee you couldn't find a host as heartwarming as you, even with a lantern!!"

"My humiliation level has skyrocketed today!"

The system laughed wildly for half a minute, then fawned over Cen Li during an interview.

"Host, aren't you feeling incredibly good right now? Does the 100,000 humiliation points not seem so far away after all?"

It doesn't seem as exaggerated as the system claims.

Ashel still surprised him; the female soldier's actions tonight also took him by surprise.

The system wasn't angry that it didn't get a response from Cen Li; it was so happy it was almost crying.

He had never seen a host more worry-free than Cen Li!

The system was so powerful that Cen Li could carry it even without it lifting a finger.

It sounds amazing!

The system deeply reflected on itself, denouncing its past self, and said, "Host, from now on, feel free to do as you please!"

"I trust you!"

"This is so incredibly efficient! I don't need to push them at all."

Compared to the system's excitement, Cen Li appeared much calmer.

"Alright, Commander, you may leave now."

system:……

System: You're so cold, but I love you so much (collecting humiliation points is like a boss!).

I can tolerate the system, I'll just use filters.
