According to Long Zixuan, he had dinner as usual that day and suddenly felt a little sleepy, so he went back to his room to sleep. When he woke up, he had already wandered outside, transformed into an inconspicuous little red snake.
For decades afterwards, he constantly hid, evading the pursuit of the Sky Punishment Pavilion and the branch families.
Long Zixuan also tried to break the restriction inside him, but he found that every time he attempted to break through, a wave of people would come to capture him. He later understood that breaking through the restriction would expose his aura, which was also a treacherous scheme of the Sky Punishment Pavilion.
Eventually, he gave up on breaking through the restriction. Unable to return to the Dragon Clan, Long Zixuan continued to roam outside, hoping to one day find an opportunity.
And so he waited, until An Yiqing came.
