[phantom248]

Have any of you seen those new pics of tjr holding a teddy in those sneak peaks from vail of shadow?

He really looked like a kid holding that teddy and pouting at others. Cause that is giving me... ideas.

I already talked about how Zhuo Yichen turning into an itty bitty noodle dragon when something goes wrong in his demon transformation and now I am thinking what if it happened earlier?? And to keep him warm, Zhuo Yixuan, his gege gave a him a stuffed teddy to curl around whenever he turned into a noodling.

Edit: hehehe found more pics

So, something goes wrong in the process of Zhou Yichen getting his demon core.

How does it shows up? By Zhou Yichen turning into a small dragon noodling wenever he feels stressed.

This fixes so many things in hindsight.

Zhao Yuanzhou and Ying Lei are too busy taking care of baby dragon (it literally is a baby dragon cause most of the time Yichen behaves like one when he is a noodle) to feel depressed over anything. Or self sacrificing.

One of the funniest thing though is the confrontation with Li Lun.

ZYC (flies into the battle field heroically but turns into a dragon noodle midway and flails): HISSS

Li Lun: what

Zhao Yuanzhou: Li Lun! You will not fight a baby will you?

(Everyone side eyes cause Bai Jiu but Li Lun is too shocked at the accusation)

Li Lun: what

Zhao Yuanzhou (going on a dramatic monologue): that would be a new low, even for you, old friend

Li Lun splutters: and who brought the baby into the battle, huh??!!!

Zhao Yuanzhou (wiping a tear): Alas, we couldn't find someone to look after him on short notice

Zhou Yichen keeps chirping and hissing, adding to the background effect

At the end, Li Lun is indeed hesitatant to hurt the baby noidling and gets sealed pretty easily, leaving Bai Jiu body without much resistant. The demon hunting team on the other hand, gain a new scarf slash new ornament that bites their hair ornaments and occasionally hisses at them when in mood.

Li Lun had felt nothing but despair since he was imprisoned. Not a lot of time has passed, but his anger and grief had slowed the time for him in excruciating details.

Even today, he was reminiscing over what ifs, angrily bonking the rattle to free himself, when he was interupted by a small gasp.

"Who is there?" He whirled around menacingly, or atleast what he thought was appropriately menacingly, bound with chains as he was. To his ire though, he received no answer.

"Reveal yourself!" He shouted, feeling a different kind of anger now. What pest was here to disturb his solitude?

As if to answer his inner thoughts, a small noodle stirred on a rock some distance away. Li Lun rubbed his eyes. He had only seen that food once or twice in human world but that was definately a noodle.

What was a noodle doing here?

He did not realized that he had voiced out his concern a long time ago, not untill he was faced with a hissing, spitting snake flying at him with a speed that astonished him. He flailed, trying to protect his face from small sharp teeth and wiggling horns that proved that he was wrong in his assessment once again. Angrily, he swiped at the little pest, only for it to throw a stream of cold ice towards him. He stopped short, blinking in wonder.

The pain in his arm, where his old friend had struck him and left him with that cursed burn, had soothed a lot from the ice.

But just because he himself was shocked silly didn't meant his small opponent had the same problem, who saw his opportunity and scored many hits against him.

After the small air noodle had taken his anger out in him, it whiped around, smacking him in face with his tail and flew off, transforming into a young boy mid air, landing with a huff.

"Who are you calling noodle, you indecent leacher?"

Li Lun raised in eye brow. The boy was young, dressed in white and cream robes, a thin golden headband gleaming on his head. The bells in his hair tinkled furiously, conveying how offended their owner felt.

"You looked like a noodle lying on that rock for days. And what indecency had I commited?"

The boy flared up. "You are flaunting your... your..."

Li Lun looked down, seeing his bare chest. He looked up again, watching the boy flush deep crimson as his robe slid just a tiny amount down.

Ah, now he understood.

The young dragon was certainly beautiful. His fair skin, pitch black hair, dark blue eyes and plimp lips made him look like a fairy. Li Lun had often heard of various dragon's otherworldly beauty. Legends often described in vivid details how Ying Long, the mad dragon, was obsessed with dragon Bing Yi, the Lord of yellow rivers. Although still a child, the pagoda tree had no doubt that this young dragon would also grow up to become another legendary beauty.

But he looked slender. Way too lean. Li Lun could engulf two of him and still had some mass left.

"Ah," he smirked, discreetly flexing one of his pecs. As expected, the young dragon's face grew crimson, his eyes still fixated on his chest. "I didn't realized a little skin will make gongzi this...jealous."

"You-!" The young dragon took half a step towards him, amd then huffed, turning away, hiding his face under his hands. Li Lun smirked again, feeling gleeful for some reason.

The next few years in this cave will not be bad if he had such refined company to spend time with.
