Long ZhenHai did not know how much time had passed since he'd been taken prisoner by his own kinsmen.
Sure, he did not have a particularly close relationship with them where they would be willing to die for each other, far from that really. Him dying for the clan of dragons?
Pft. In their happiest dreams.
From the day he was born to the day Hu Lijing and he got closer, physically as well as mentally, Long ZhenHai's loyalty only ever lay with Hu Lijing.
Only Hu Lijing. No one else.
He was his own person, he was a dragon with his own autonomy but the very meaning of his existence, the very reason of his existence was Hu Lijing and Hu Lijing alone.
If not for the destined ten-tailed fox spirit's birth, Long ZhenHai would never have been created from the spirit of water in the first place.
