Sweet daily life of Little Tanuki and Qin Che in Love and Deep Space

With a sharp crack, energy exploded in the flames, and the leaping flames licked the clouds into a magnificent crimson hue.

Amidst a deafening tremor, the magnificent and solemn marble sanctuary rapidly crumbled into ruins in the heart of the royal city.

Long's lazy voice rang in your ear: "As for such a boring act as revenge, this is enough. There's no need to make a big fuss."

The wind carries screams and cries of terror, but you remain completely unmoved by them, your mind filled with boundless joy at the dragon's acceptance of your advances.

The dragon, embracing you, flaps its wings and flies into the distance against the glow of the sunset...

Before the sun completely sets, you chase the last rays of sunlight to a nest located atop a steep cliff.

From the air, the spectacular view created by the cliffs and the nest resembles the skeleton of a giant dragon about to take flight, standing between the mountain peaks.

He landed you on the other side, where the light was better and there were no blood-stained stone platforms.

"This...is your home?"

Long Wuyu glanced at you and said, "Have you ever seen a demon with a home?"

"..."

His gaze shifted to your hands, which were still tightly clasped around his.

"We're already here, why aren't you letting go?"

You were very reluctant, but you still silently withdrew your hand.

After the dragon put you down, it dragged its tail up a stone staircase and went up to the upper level of the cave.

You're still wondering why he just left like that, so confident that you wouldn't run away.

And the way he's acting doesn't seem like he really intends to restrict you.

After thinking about it, you decided to take a stroll around the place where you will be staying for a while and observe the terrain.

As soon as you reach the cave entrance, you see pebbles rolling down the cliff at your feet, and you can't even hear the sound of them falling.

Your steps were stopped just in time. Good heavens! How high is this? You look out at the sheer cliff.

He finally understood why he wasn't worried about you running away.

If it doesn't have wings, who can escape it?

With nothing left to explore on the outskirts of the dragon's lair, you turned and walked into the cave.

Lights illuminated the cave at intervals, and you followed the faint light up the stone steps, catching up with the figure ahead.

"Hey, you won't be eating my soul anymore for now, right?"

"If I still wanted to eat you, why would I bother bringing you back here?" the dragon replied casually as it strode along. "Just stay put."

You don't know what he's planning, nor are you so narcissistic as to think that you're the one who attracted Qin Che at this point in his life.

The most likely reason is that he's just too bored being a dragon.

You quickened your pace and continued the conversation: "Well, since I'm staying here, I need a decent place to live. Isn't this cave a bit rudimentary? Is it cold here at night?"

Looking at your tattered clothes, it's hard not to wonder if you'd freeze to death if you slept in this pile of rocks.

The dragon merely glanced at you without replying.

Following the spiral stone stairs to the top of the cave, it was pitch black all around, as if it were another world.

The dragon stopped, and its tail wrapped around your waist.

A feeling of weightlessness washed over you, and you frantically grabbed his tail.

He frowned slightly, lifted you onto the last step, retracted his tail, and had a strange expression on his face. It was hard to tell if he was disgusted or what. He wiped his tail on his body a couple of times before lowering his eyes and staring coldly at you.

"Pick it yourself."
