Yong si managed to escape just in time thanks to the help of the sea goddess, he hardly knew how to properly move in this koi form yong si quite literally just wiggled through the air. After a bit of painful struggling with this weird body his vision whitened and he fell down onto the hard muddy ground, propping his body up with his hands he scanned his surroundings he was on a path leading into a forest when he looked back he could still make out the fortress of the tyrant general Yu Jiang..
Yong Si got up his legs felt really wobbly, the injuries around his body still very evident giving him slight stinging sensations, he needed to get far away yong si didn‘t want to return to the heavens he just wanted to go into hiding somewhere safe. He limped following the path into the forest the his naked feet dragging over mud, wet leaves and rocks, the moon illuminating the path it looked like as if the sun was about to rise soon this wasn‘t good he would easily be spotted by the soldiers during the day time.
The white haired man made his way into the forest to find some isolated corner and recuperate his body, his tail twitching with every few steps his whole body ached so terribly. i hope miss haiyan managed to get away in time he wondered with worry, he did not want to cause more trouble in the heavens as he already had done before, his mother despised him for numerous reasons.
Yong si felt himself falling but managed to catch himself onto a tree, he needed to rest, the man walked further into the forest until he eventually fell down and lost consciousness yet again.
…
Soft sunrays tickled Yong Si‘s face, he groaned before slowly opening his eyes and sitting up immediately he was met with the view of a nice room he was laid on a soft mat, in the middle of the room there was a big screen probably hiding something behind it. There were some shelfs filled with beautiful porcelain and sacks filled with something, the room smelled nicely of herbs yong si let out a soft yawn continuing to glance around the room, Yu Jiang couldn‘t have found him, he would not get this kind treatment if it was Yu Jiang who had found him.
Soon enough he was pulled out of his thoughts by the door gently opening immediately yong si crawled back so his back pressed tightly to the wall entering a defensive stance hissing slightly, he couldn‘t do much, he grit his teeth and was ready to strike out.
An older man came forth from behind the screen he wore green and black robes and he had long messy hazel colored hair that was partly tied up in a ponytail, gentle green eyes and an overall gentle facial expression, he carried a tray with a porcelain bowl ontop.
Yong si‘s gaze burned holes into the mysterious mans‘ frame, the man in question walked closer to yong si ?be not afraid my dear patient, I have no intentions of hurting you, I had found you in the forest unconscious and injuried so I took you in. My name is Gao Yichen, I‘m a wandering doctor, pleased to meet you.“ the man muttered before placing the tray down next to the mat Yong Si was on and crouching down next to yong si sat on.
The dragon gods‘s form was still very tense, his piercing red eyes burning holes into Gao Yichen, the doctor sighed gently. ? I know you don‘t trust me but I prepared this medicine, your injuries need it so either you or I will have to apply it“ the doctor spoke locking eyes with yong si, ?this one will do it himself thank you, tell me are you not afraid of this lne? I could kill you at any moment human. This one is a god afterall!“ yong si barked his ears tensing up, fletching his sharp teeth.
The doctor sighed and shuffled a step back to give the dragon god some space, before muttering ?dear friend I‘m not afraid of you I am simply trying to help you, I do not care for your identity.“ yong si simply huffed and took the medicine bowl giving it a big whiff, his nose scrunching up slightly at the pungent medicinical smell, he scooped the mixture up in his claws, it felt gooey to the touch, he glanced at gao yichen who was in the process of getting up to leave the room, yong si didn‘t pay any mind to it and began gently opening his robes revealing milky white partly scaled skin.
Yong si sensed a certain someone staring and looked up at the other man in the room who quickly dashed behind the screen when he was found out, yong si stayed still for a few moments before his raspy voice clung out ?what are you staring for?“ he could practically see the doctor tense behind the screen and coughed ?oh my I wasn‘t staring believe me!.. I was simply making sure you were applying the medicine correctly that‘s all..!“ he mustered it was obvious by his tone that he was embarrassed about the situation, the dragon god didn‘t say any further and continued with applying the medicine to his now neatly sown shut injuries and scars, sometimes it stung a little making Yong Si hiss.
?come here, doctor.“ the dragon god ordered his tone very stern, gao yichen quickly emerged from behind the big screen and shuffled to the gods‘ side ?what is it you need help with my dear friend? I do not like being bossed around like this but I suppose you‘re one of my more special patients so I‘ll let it slide..“ gao yichen remarked scratching his cheek slightly an annoyed expression written all over his masculine complexion, yong si simply huffed and rolled his eyes before grunting ?This one can‘t apply it on his back you‘ll need to do it for me, also this lne can‘t apply it on my dragon form either so you would have to help me there aswell hmph.“ the dragon god shifted so his bare back was facing the doctor, he seemed very fidgety and kept glancing back which did not go unnoticed by the doctor ?my dear friend I won‘t hurt you trust me“ he comforted the white haired man gently pressing his palm against the gods‘ naked wingbone who shuddered at the touch ?This one is aware I‘m just not familiar with you, give me your spare arm… please.“ the god muttered, gao yichen could see his ears start to turn a small pink but he didn‘t question anything and complied with the request.
Once gao yichens‘ left arm was in sight yong si snatched it rubbing the side of his face against it, gao yichen was now clothed-chest to bare-back with the god, stunned for a few seconds gao yichen regained his composure and started applying the medicine to his wounds as best as he could.

Yong Si visibly tensed down seeming incredibly comfortable right now, it was probably because he was getting to know gao yichens‘ scent, the brown haired men gave a gentle pat on yong si‘s back before he spoke up ?alright I‘m done, would you like me to apply it in your dragon form right now or would you wish to rest up my dear friend?“ the doctors‘ tone was calm, yong si let go of the hand and signaled the doctor to step back with a lazy hand movement.
The gods‘ body shook greatly, it all happened so quickly. The stretching sensation of the gods‘ limbs and body, the growing mane and his skin now mostly being covered by scales, Yong Sis‘ claws were both scaly and also had some fur. Many scales were missing revealing a patch of irritated red tissue, his eyes remain the same however yet his long snout and sharper teeth made a strong contrast.
Gao Yichen felt mesmerized, the dragon god looks so unique and stunning, he couldn‘t help but stare in awe. It for sure was a treat to get to see a loong up close, Yong Si plopped down on the mat getting comfortable, he wasn‘t much bigger in his dragon form so that was good.
The doctor snapped out of his trance and glanced around ?my dear friend I will have to take a proper look at you it seems that in this form your body carries more injuries than your human form has, I might even need to make more medicine for you, do you need anything in the meantime? I can bring more pillows and even brew you some tea your greatness.“ the doctor muttered, taking in everything from the dragon before him that he could, yong si‘s tail started thumping against the bamboo mat flooring before his voice appeared out of thin air ?It‘s fine this one trusts you, feel free to do as you please“ the dragon ?spoke‘ as he crooked his long head to the side glancing up at the kneeling doctors‘ form.
The doctor gently reached his hand out, his soft palm gently stroking across the area of the dragons‘ scales, feeling the bumpy textures of the scales, yong si laid his head against the pillow of the mat, his front and back claws moving aside so he won‘t accidentally hurt the doctor, yong si‘s tail came around the kneeling frame of the doctor gently patting the other on the back.
The doctor found that action rather amusing and began petting his head with his other hand, yong si let out a deep rumble- almost like a purr in response, gao yichen retracted his hands and got up ?my dear friend I will go and get some materials to make another bowl of the medicine, you seem fit enough to walk so I want you to come with me this room is too cramped for me to work in.“ the doctor spoke while he walked towards the door glancing back at the dragon.
Yong si groaned slightly while getting up and strudded forward, following the doctor out the door, the view was stunning there was a porch leading to an outside area surrounded by thick colorful trees, yong si could spot some small animals idling around.
Infront of the porch was a bigger tea table with some comfortable looking cushions, shelves filled with herbs, pottery and books all around this guy was a real geek, gao yichen told yong si to stay there while he walked off.
A few minutes later he came back with a stone mortar, the doctor swiftly made his way towards the table infront of the porch placing the bowl down, he then scanned some of the shelves for some ingredients, yong si walked forward and the dragon plopped down next to the table, his tail was finally able to stratch out fully, he was thumping it against the bamboo flooring when all of a sudden he felt something soft and fluffy running up his back, quickly he twisted his neck to glance back and was met with the sight of a small adorable bunny, he turned around to fully face the bunny looking at it with curiosity in his eyes. The bunny nuzzled up to him leaving a ticklish sensation on his scaled body, a little later more bunnies came by all surrounding yong si, some were even sleeping on him.
it was like being surrounded by a big fluffy blanket! He thought. He was completely unaware of anything else happening in his surroundings, the god hadn’t even noticed Gao Yichen return to his seat.
He enjoyed it quite alot but found it odd because of how many bunnies that guy had, ?speak‘ of the devil, his thoughts were interruped by that warm deep chuckle from said man who propped his chin up on his palm staring gently at the dragon, he scooted a little closer and began scratching the dragons‘ head, the god was like a little grumpy kitten the doctor thought.
?so my dear friend, tell me, what brought you to the forest?“ he question as he kept itching the dragon who glanced up at him ?that general, yu jiang captured this one, I do not remember much but they are out for my powers“ his voice cracked a little as he mumbled, gao yichen looked struck for a second before regaining his composure ?i see, my dear friend unfortunately this is general yu‘s territory, I will keep you hidden but I cannot guarantee your safety.“ the god simply hummed leaning into the touch before the doctor retracted his hand to focus on creating the medicine.
After a while in the peaceful silence gao yichen hummed again and placed down the medicine on the floor, he shooed the small bunnies away gently to focus on his patient, ?i‘ll touch you now is that okay my dear friend?“ the dragon nodded and stared up at the kneeling form of the doctor, he began scooping some more up and applying it on some of his wounds, then he would bandage it up as best as he could.
Once he was fully done with applying the medicine he proceeded to wash his hands, and get ready to seemingly go out, the dragon god was too lazy to move he felt too exhausted to switch back to his humanoid form so he simply laid there staring at the doctors‘ swift movement around his home.
Soon enough a gentle yell came from another room ?my dear friend, I have to go to the market to get some things I will be back in a few hours, please stay put inside alright?“ the doctor reappeared from behind a sliding door and walked towards the unmoving yong si, the dragon simply yawned and stretched he looked like a spoiled house kitten the doctor though, ?yes yes.. that‘s fine bring this one something to eat too“ yong si‘s voice muttered lazily paying barely any mind to the doctor who simply huffed in response.
proceeding to leave the hut, the dragon was simply just lazing around throughout the day, however he did notice someone trying to contact him he knew exactly who it was, it was his mother the heavenly calamity, the dragon god simply paid no mind to it at all, the heavens didn‘t care anyways so why should he reply?
The dragon shook his head and simply rolled up in a ball to sleep a little, he had some troubles sleeping however since every now and then he was woken up by the tickling sensation of something soft and fluffy brushing against his sensitive scales he wasn‘t mad at the little creatures they just wanted to life too, but he did not want to be disturbed so he got up startling the poor little bunnies who just stared at him with their big black eyes as he walked outside the porch and jumped up on a strong looking tree branch.
He made himself feel as comfortable as he could while laying on a tree branch far from the ground and tried to nod off again
