As the starlight dissipated, the sharpness between the young monk's brows disappeared, his head sprouted hair, and his thick eyebrows connected, making his expression appear more naive. Two floppy dog ears drooped down from the top of his head, hanging all the way to his shoulders.
The Hand looked at the now transformed young monk and spoke.
"We bypass Crown Prince City and head to Bear Pass through East Mushroom Valley.
"Along the way, you are not allowed to mention your big plan again, nor bring up the Snow Leopard. You must diligently practice the Buddhist Technique, remain humble and patient, understand?"
The Hand activated the Spell Seal and asked once more.
This time, the young monk nodded obediently, indicating his understanding.
But the Hand was still uneasy, it flew out of the snow cave, and soon brought back a Snow Leopard, dropping it in front of him.
The Snow Leopard, with its tail tucked, gazed at the young monk with clear eyes.
