"You gave me a gift, so I'll give you one too!"
Xiao Heng smiled, deeply moved by the Bodhi Tree's actions. Perhaps it was precisely because its intelligence was not so developed that it acted this way.
Still, people needed to have a bit of conscience sometimes. If one accepted someone else's gift, one should offer something in return, even if that thing was not particularly precious to the Bodhi Tree.
"I'm not sure what I should give you... Hmm... Let me think. How about a Ninth-grade Pill? At least it can make it up to you a little..." Xiao Heng took out a jade bottle from his Storage Ring.

Xiao Heng was stunned. Then, somewhat awkwardly, he put away the Ninth-grade Pill. Though he did not know what Little Grass had given it, judging by the emotion released
