His Majesty's Hostage - Extra 1

Extra 1 - Qu Zi

In an age beyond recall, according to legends, it was said that all things of heaven and earth were governed by the mysterious and immensely powerful Golden Dragon Clan. They commanded rain and dew, overlooked all living beings, and enjoyed supreme power and honor. But with power came the birth of sin, and even the highest deities who stood above all could not resist its temptation.

The younger brother of the Golden Dragon Clan Leader, dissatisfied with the worship of his elder brother’s totem among all living beings, repeatedly challenged and opposed him. The Golden Dragon Leader endured him time and again, but was still unable to halt the growing internal division, which ultimately escalated into open conflict. An inevitable great war shattered the balance of heaven and earth, plunging the sun and moon into darkness. Enraged by the hellish battlefield that the mortal world had become, the Golden Dragon Clan Leader stripped the defeated rebels of their immortal status and banished them to the sunless Demon Realm, forbidding them to ever set foot in the outside world again. Should they do so, they would meet a violent death and have their souls cast into the animal realm… This was the punishment of our ancestors, and the fate of our Lin Long Clan!

The elder’s gaze darkened with sorrow, but all it earned was a dismissive glance from me.

Fate?

I suddenly spread my wings.

I don’t believe it!

I soared into the sky.

After two years in the mortal realm, the so-called fate the elder spoke of had not only failed to manifest in me, but I was living quite comfortably! In a deep mountain forest, I found a feng shui blessed land and settled there with the partner I met by chance.

I think that if I had not met that young man, I would have continued to live peacefully, dismissing the elder’s warnings. But fate does not allow hypothetical scenarios!

Fate led me to that injured young man, and fate made me, on a sudden whim, bring him back to my cave to treat his wounds. Yet it was also fate that made his older brother mistake me for someone who meant to harm his precious little brother, and shoot an arrow straight into my forehead……

I finally came to believe in fate, at the moment my soul left my body and rose into the air. With a sigh, the elder appeared before me.

This is an unchangeable fate. His gaze was even more sorrowful.

What will I become? A bird? An insect? A fish? A beast?

The elder’s silence made me uneasy!

No matter what you become in your next life, never give up hope, because your fate will arrange for you to meet an extraordinary person who will free you from the abyss of suffering!

I did not know what bigshot exactly I was supposed to be waiting for. All I knew was that, in just seven years, I had already gone through dozens of reincarnations in the cycle of animals, a fox, a pig, a rabbit, a snake, a marten, a flying insect, a bird, an ox, a fish…… The constant deaths and abrupt lives nearly drove me mad. One moment I might be a wolf, only to inexplicably step into a hunter’s trap, and upon waking, find myself a mere ant……

Until three years ago, I became a Hequ horse. The noticeably longer lifespan made me overjoyed, this lifetime might finally be my release!

The moment I caught sight of that man disguised as an old uncle, my heart began to pound wildly. The other’s eyes were bright and clear, radiating a captivating light that even the most exquisite jewels in the world could not compare to. It was him, he had finally appeared, the one I had been waiting for through dozens of reincarnations!

To vent my anger, and also to scare this man I had waited for so long, I greeted him by biting down on the hand he reached out toward me……

He was truly different from the rest, yet if one were to ask precisely in what way he was different, I cannot quite put it into words.

Sometimes he is incredibly insightful, seeing through the world’s intricacies, and sometimes he is a reckless fool who could not see the consequences of his actions! He is impossible to figure out and even harder to understand!

But no matter what kind of person he is, I have decided to follow him in this life……
