Rainy night.
A gentle breeze swirled, carrying threads of rain that whipped against pedestrians scurrying by the roadside. Behind a restaurant, flickering lights illuminated a dim corner, casting a faint glow on a trash can.
"So pitiful, you've been bullied again, haven't you?"
A young boy holding an umbrella squatted down, looking at a small fox no bigger than his palm, curled up in a corner, glaring fiercely at him.
On the streets of Yaoguang City, whenever night falls, abandoned Pet Beasts often come out to forage. These stray Pet Beasts, not of the best breeds, had proliferated over time.
"YIP!"
The little Red Fox, wary and baring its teeth, let out a tender growl.
"Still quite fierce."
The boy shook his head, left a piece of bread, and walked away.
「From then on.」
