Hu Lijing let out a sigh, curling up to himself as he sat on a warm rock in his fox form, three tails swishing idly. As he basked in the rays of sun on a small island in the middle of the sea.
It was the dragon's lair.
What was Hu Lijing doing in the dragon's lair? Well, they were close to one another thanks to their similarities.
Despite their initial differences when they were young, the divine fox and dragon had become tentative friends. If they could even be called one.
It started when Hu Lijing became 100 years old and was finally able to transform into a human form. While most — not all — spirit foxes tended to take up a female form, he felt inclined to be a male instead.
At that time, the younger dragon was still unable to transform.
