The gold in the Wasteland Snow Ape's pupils slowly faded, finally turning amber.
The way he looked at Yu Yuan was unlike that of a creature that had just gained intelligence. He seemed more like a traveler awakening after sleeping for countless ages in the river of time.
There was a trace of weariness, joy, and reverence in his gaze.
As Yu Yuan watched in surprise, the Wasteland Snow Ape dropped to one knee in a gesture of loyalty.
"Roooar~~" (Master, Shan pledges his loyalty to you.)
Yu Yuan could actually understand him, and curiosity appeared on his face.
"Shan? Is that your name? Did you receive a bloodline inheritance?"
"Roar, roooar~~" (Yes, but it's a little muddled. I still need to understand it!)
Yu Yuan nodded gently. That was perfectly normal.
"Good. Since you've awakened your intelligence, take command of the other Ice Behemoths and guard the city. We'll talk again once you've absorbed your bloodline inheritance memories."
"Roar!" (Understood!)
Shan's emergence was undoubtedly worth celebrating.
Naturally, Yu Yuan had noticed the unusual things about Shan, but there was no rush. The Virtual Light Screen listed Shan's loyalty as incapable of betrayal, so he could simply wait until Shan finished absorbing his bloodline inheritance memories.
His attention returned to the Fate Cards.
As the fate maxim appeared again,
Yu Yuan began another round of card draws.
He had avoided drawing cards before because he was worried about drawing a Gold Fate Card and being unable to complete its task.
Now, with a gold-tier creature at his command, Yu Yuan felt frighteningly powerful.
He would draw.
He absolutely had to draw.
Today, he was going to draw a Gold Fate Card.
