I Really Don't Want to Be a Dragon
People always wish their children could become someone great, but Huang Ze's parents never imagined, even in their wildest dreams, that their son would actually turn into a dragon! He could fly, breathe fire, and had a voracious appetite. Yet, since he only became a dragon halfway through life, Huang Ze had no experience living as one.

Take hunting, for example.
His predecessor was likely a pseudo-dragon—dim-witted, without followers or servants, ignorant of storing food, and the lair was so clean not even a mouse remained.
So, whenever hunger struck, Huang Ze had to hunt for himself.
But herein lay the problem: Huang Ze had no idea how to hunt.
This was hardly surprising. Anyone suddenly changed into a dragon, with a body utterly unlike a human’s, couldn’t possibly adapt instantly. There must be a period of trial and error.
Moreover, hunting itself was a t
