I like any version of beastman!Cheong Myeong, from a dragon and a dog, to some kind of bird. But snow leopard Cheong Myeong has literally taken the leading position in my heart.
All members of the Heavenly Comrades Alliance (well, or the majority) roughly understood the habits of the feline species. But after the arrival of their commander, they had to delve much deeper into them.
For example, it was customary for snow leopards, which Cheong Myeong was one of, to carry their tail in their mouth when walking, as it was too large and got in the way.
Because of which, all members of the alliance had to watch as their commander, with a proud and bitchy expression after beating up yet another bastard, took his comically large, fluffy, and damn cute tail in his mouth and walked with it.
"Maybe we should tell him that this completely ruins his whole image of a strong and fearsome opponent?" one of the disciples asked cautiously.
"Don't you dare, or Dojang will stop doing it."
"And then we'll send you down the mountain headfirst."
And the fact that it was two alliance leaders saying this– Seol Sobaek and Namgung Dowi, made it all the more sad.
"Wait, would catnip affect Cheong Myeong the same as ordinary cats? Or not, because he's a leopard?" Jo Geol suddenly asked, because of which everyone in the room turned to him.
"How do you know about that?"
"Oh, for God's sake, you're all just like that rascal Cheong Myeong! I was born into a merchant family!"
Tang Soso nodded thoughtfully and abruptly stood up.
For the sake of the experiment, the Five Swords and the monk unanimously decided to deceive Sasuk, who usually got the most of the catnip during training, and observe.
Baek Cheon tried to refuse, of course, but who cares about his opinion.
Baek Cheon's face began to sweat under the intense gaze of the vertical pupils.
After a short period of rampage and beating up the disciples, Cheong Myeong completely calmed down, which was out of character for him. And what was even stranger, he simply got really close to his Sasuk and... Rubbing against him, began to emit a quiet purr.
"Is this the end of times? We're all going to die now."
The disciples' reaction was unequivocal. But paying no attention to them, Cheong Myeong had already literally climbed onto Baek Cheon's body.
"..Soso, I think the experiment was a success. Maybe we should rescue Sasuk after all?"
"Huh?" After looking closer, Cheong Myeong's pupils really were too dilated. "Oh. He's high."
"And what do you think he'll do if we try to take Baek Cheon away?"
"We're leaving. Someday the smell will fade and we'll take him back."
" Traitors!" Baek Cheon shouted, as Cheong Myeong began to lick his cheek, and his long tail completely wrapped around him like a rope.
