Wu Shuai was wise and decisive, possessed far-reaching vision, and had an unyielding temperament, without the weakness found in the vast majority of Dragonman Gu Immortals. Under his development, the Dragonman clan's strength rose steadily step by step.
In secret, he had continually been gathering resources, never forgetting his ambition to construct a Rank 8 Immortal Gu House.

Dragon Duke sat upright in the seat of honor, surrounded by dragonmen.
One Dragonman Gu Immortal after another stepped forward, presenting carefully prepared birthday gifts.
"Father, may your blessings be as great as mountains and your lifespan as vast as seas." A Dragonman Gu Immortal presented a bundle of White Flood Grass.

"Father, may the sun and moon shine brightly, and may you enjoy the evergreen spring of pines and cranes." Another Dragonman Gu Immortal presented a Soft Jade Cherry.
"Father, your son offers you his birthday congratulations here." Wu Shuai's Father also stepped forth.
Dragon Duke's expression was slightly stern. He merely nodded, while attendants at his side naturally collected each gift
