#Wangxian 🐉🦊 'The great dragon doesn't know how to tell his fox...

'The great dragon doesn't know how to tell his fox slave that he loves him.'
So, Hanguang-Jun is one of the most powerful dragons in his clan, but lives far away in his own home in the mountains.
So how did he end up with a fox slave?
Well, actually it was... accidental?
Anyone with a slave seal was unable to disobey his captor or they would suffer -
Hanguang-Jun would release the fox and break the seal. He maybe he should take him home, heal him and feed him first, since he looked really bad.
The blow itself did nothing, but the dealer's maniacal grin as he decapitated him made him uneasy.
A strong heat surged from his chest and he opened his robe
The slavery seal was illegal bc it was extremely powerful and there were no known ways to break it.
So now the fox's life was in Hanguang-Jun's hands, literally.
He had other minor injuries, but nothing as serious as the broken skin on his wrists
Clean and healed, Hanguang-Jun couldn't help but stare at the fox with his heart racing. His smell was now more penetrating and filled his house intently. The fox's beauty was worthy of his species
He was a dragon, it was inevitable that he liked pretty things, but he had never felt so attracted to someone. The mix of beauty and heavenly smell made him feel dizzy and embarrassed.
He took it upon himself to watch the fox and give it his spiritual energy all night, avoiding touching too much or being too intimate.
He waited and waited for the fox to wake up and he started to worry when the sun got high
So he just stayed there, sitting, waiting for the fox to wake up, completely still. Should he check him now?
His thoughts did not stop revolving in his head until the fox sitting on the bed startled him, but he did not show himself in his face.
The fox seemed disoriented as he looked at the sheets that covered him.
The fox raised his ears and stared at him.
Hanguang-Jun blinked. He had actually expected the fox to make a fuss after waking up in a stranger's house after being kidnapped and turned into a slave.
The dragon blinked, genuinely confused, even though his face was expressionless.
The fox approached slowly, as if testing his balance, and knelt in front of him.
"At least my owner is the most beautiful creature I've ever seen" The fox had to be exerting some kind of power over him
Hanguang-Jun jumped out of his seat, ears burning and breathing hard.
The fox kept his eyes down and there was a slight trembling on his shoulders, as if he was expecting a punishment.
He tried to grab him by the shoulders to help him stand up, but the fox tensed and squeezed his eyes shut. The dragon realized that the fox was expecting a hit.
The fox raised his silver gaze in confusion but did as he was silently asked.
Hanguang-Jun sighed "I don't own you"
The fox looked at him "Huh? But the slave mark..."
The fox looked at him suspiciously, but then he smiled "I see" he said "If my master wants that, then I'm free"
Then abruptly he said "Food"
Huanguang-Jun said "No"
"N-no?"
The fox stared at the table, as if he was trying to figure out the trap behind it all. He cautiously eyed the dragon. "For me?"
The fox under his ears and Hanguang-Jun's heart felt aching"Oh yeah... I guess." He swallowed
After a considerable time, the fox took the chopsticks and began to eat.
Hanguang-Jun was afraid that she would choke because of how fast he ate
When he finished eating, he gave a satisfied sigh. "Thank you, it was delicious, although it was a bit lacking in spice," he said,
However, Hanguang-Jun nodded "Next time I'll add more spices"
The fox looked at him surprised for a moment but he didn't say anything else.
He also learned that he and the fox could not be apart or the slave mark would cause him pain.
Although it was accidental, the fox seemed to think that it was intentional no matter when Hanguang-Jun tried to explain himself.
The fox smiled "The master must know. I only follow the master's wishes"
The dragon was furious with itself. He didn't know how the slave contract worked, but the fox didn't believe him.
With a sigh, he said "Tomorrow we will go to Gusu"
His family ancestral library must have something related to slavery contracts, he would find a way to free that beautiful fox. And ask his brother for help to try to explain the situation to the fox.
He and the fox had shared a bed for the last few days.
Luckily, the fox slept late so he had enough time to calm his body and his mind...
Hanguang-Jun wasn't sure how long it would take to search for any clues that might help him to find-
There have already been outsiders who have found his home before when he hunted outside and many didn't care that his dragon essence was all over the place.
“Do you like talismans?” He asked slowly to avoid scaring the fox.
It was in vain, the fox got scared and shrank back. "N-No, I just thought the designs are pretty"
"Stop moving and go to sleep," the dragon said perhaps too abruptly, causing the fox to freeze.
Sighing, Hanguang-Jun asked “What is it?”
The fox remained silent for a moment and then replied "It's just that I'm a little excited to go to Gusu" he heard himself swallowing in the silence of the room "I always wanted to go there"
The fox nodded, but it was obvious to the dragon that he didn't fall asleep until much later.
--
The next morning, he woke up with a fox wrapped around him as in the previous days. After preparing and meditating, he tried to wake up the fox more than once, but he muttered against the sheets and asked for five more minutes.
It wasn't until the sun was up that the fox woke up with a jump out of bed and said "IT'S LATE"
He saw the dragon quietly drinking tea at the table.
For a moment, the fox was puzzled.
“This one apologizes for falling asleep! I deserve to be punished!"
The dragon broke the cup with his hand and stared at the fox.
“Get up,” He said, regulating his voice
And he left the house without saying anything to give him privacy.
He looked up at the sky, wondering why he was reacting so much.
Something was causing this, something that he had to do with the fox. His scent, his touch, his eyes, his voice, all made his body burn with a desire he had never felt before.
Many years ago he had stopped taking treasures, which were usually trinkets, books, or some beautifully sparkling jewel. He had never taken a living being as treasure, but he knew that dragons were capable of taking creatures as treasure.
Hanguang-Jun looked at him and then looked away. He needs to talk to his brother.
–
When they arrived at the gates of CR, -
The fox squeaked as the wind picked him up and put him on the ground as the dragon took on his demi-human form again. The fox clung to the ground, breathing heavily, and the dragon looked at him worriedly.
Hanguang-Jun, WangJi, nodded “Brother, It's good to see you”
"Aren't you going to introduce us?"
“WangJi?” Lxc looked at his younger brother in surprise. Hanguang-Jun's ears were red.
"I'll explain it to you later"
"No" he answered quickly. Lxc raised an eyebrow but didn't comment.
"What are you doing?" Hgj asked. The poor fox was startled and lowered his ears.
"Uhm, I, I have to stay outside" The fox replied.
The fox looked at both dragons and then went inside, sitting behind Hgj in silence.
"In your letter you said that you had something important to consult with me, WangJi" Lxc began while serving the tea
Lxc knew that his brother did not like to beat around the bush
Hgj took a sip of his tea and took a deep breath “I have a problem”
Lxc waited patiently
"The fox bonded with me"
Lxc raised his eyebrows in surprise “WangJi, did you mate?” He asked delightedly, but then frowned slightly "However, you say it like it's a bad thing, what's wrong?"
Hgj made a low sound and then sighed, but Lxc's eyes lit up knowingly “I see”
Hgj stared at his brother for a long moment.
"WangJi... Could it be that you don't know his name?"
Lxc sighed and turned to the fox "Young man, can you tell me your name?"
"Don't you have a name?"
"My master has not named me, so I have no name"
Lxc fell silent as he exchanged glances with Hgj, who was squeezing the teacup hard enough to break it.
Lxc asked nicely “Okay, so can you tell me the name your parents gave you? Before you were a slave"
The fox lowered her gaze and pursed her lips. "Wei Ying, courtesy Wuxian."
Lxc smiled “Okay, young master Wei”
Hgj wanted to reach out his hand and take the fox's hand, which he now knew was called Wei Wuxian
Lxc “why?”
"I need to find a way to break the slave bond"
Lxc nodded “I see. Do you want to release him?"
Lxc smiled “Okay, I grant you permission, but you should tell uncle about this and say hello, he won't be happy if you are here and don't even visit him”
“As you wish” Lxc wrote something on a talisman and handed it to Lwj “this is a special permission. The barrier will let you in, but young Wei must wait outside."
Lxc tilted his head "What do you mean?"
“If I am too far from him, he will suffer”
Lxc looked at Wwx "Is that true?"
"Is it because of the seal?"
"It seems so" Hgj replied "So he should come with me"
"I have never heard of a slave contract that prevented the slave from being away from his master" Lxc murmured "Can I see the mark?"
Hgj looked at the mark on his chest "Maybe because I'm the contractor?"
Wwx nodded and untied his robe, revealing his chest. Both dragons gave sharp breaths and Hgj grabbed the fox's wrist roughly, staring at his chest in a daze.
That wasn't a slavery mark
"It's a curse"
Wwx pursed his lips. "No but...my core"
Wwx under the gaze "They sealed my golden core"
Lxc gently extended his hand "May I?"
Wwx showed his wrist in silence. Lxc's expression became more and more complicated.
Wwx lowered his ears and was unable to look at the dragons "Someone who wanted me out of their life"
"This was not because of someone who did not want you in his life" Said lxc "The person who did this to you, did they hate you?"
“Maybe there's something in the library” Lwj began slowly “It's not a common mark, it's mixed with a curse. His core was sealed so that the mark would be more effective"
Wwx swallowed hard and didn't let hope fill him. He had no illusions.
He choked out, "I knew she didn't like it, I was ready to leave when I came of age, but I didn't think her hated for me to be so…"
