Youchaoshi also looked at Suirenshi with curiosity; clearly, he was just as intrigued by Ziyishi's question.
Suirenshi: "..."
How could he not be?
Wasn't this the very weed Chen Daoist had given him?
Suirenshi felt deeply ashamed. Back then, when Chen Sheng said this weed could protect the human race, Suirenshi hadn't believed it in the slightest. He'd only planted it in his Cave Abode out of politeness.
But he never expected Chen Daoist hadn't been fooling him—this really was a supreme treasure!
Suirenshi sighed and said helplessly, "Looks familiar? This is that weed we saw before..."
Youchaoshi: ...
Ziyishi: ...
This was that utterly ordinary weed from before?
This... how was this a weed?
It was practically the king of grass!
No, wait—a Grass God!
Then, the Three Ancestors went to the place where the Green Grass was to pay their respects.
Seeing the Green Grass before them, Ziyishi and Suirenshi were stunned!
Was this the same grass they'd just seen?
This Green Grass, surrounded by Dao Charm and radiating a soft glow from its entire body, was actually that plain weed they'd seen earlier?
The Three Ancestors knelt reverently, performing three kowtows and nine prostrations. Only then did Suirenshi say to the Green Grass, "Thank you, Divine Grass, for saving our lives. The human race is eternally grateful!"
No response.
Ziyishi thought for a moment and said, "Maybe the grass acted on instinct?"
Youchaoshi nodded in agreement.
But Suirenshi believed Chen Daoist must have commanded it.
Staring at the Green Grass, Youchaoshi felt an indescribable shock and exclaimed in awe, "That Grand Unity is truly a good man. Though he hasn't emerged from seclusion, he was willing to give such a treasure to protect the human race."
Suirenshi couldn't help twitching his mouth. A treasure of this level probably meant nothing to that great being, right?
After all, how could an ordinary Grand Unity compare to Chen Daoist?
Still, Chen Daoist was far too low-key—even his grass was just as low-key, playing the fool to perfection!
He casually handed over such a supreme treasure; it was utterly beyond reason...
Suirenshi marveled inwardly.
Ziyishi also said with deep emotion, "Who would've thought that Daoist, a Grand Unity, would care so much for the human race, even giving us such a treasure? We misjudged him!"
Suirenshi was speechless but couldn't argue, so he just echoed, "Yes, if Chen Daoist hadn't given us this grass, the human race would have been doomed today!"
After hearing the Three Ancestors' words, the Green Grass couldn't take it anymore. Its master was just a Grand Unity?
And "given"?
Hah!
The Green Grass couldn't hold back and sneered disdainfully, "Foolish humans, you know nothing of my master's power!"
Youchaoshi: ???
Ziyishi: ...
This treasure could talk?
It truly was a sentient treasure!
Not just Ziyishi and Youchaoshi—even Suirenshi was thunderstruck.
None of the three had ever seen a sentient treasure, and their eyes grew wider than the others'.
So when the Three Ancestors had paid respects to the Green Grass earlier, it hadn't been unaware—it just couldn't be bothered to acknowledge them?
That was exactly it. If they hadn't gotten more and more ridiculous, the Green Grass wouldn't have deigned to respond at all!
The Green Grass felt the Three Ancestors of the human race were all fools, each one mentally deficient—what was there to make such a fuss about?
If they saw the other items in its master's Cave Abode, would they be so shocked they'd drop dead on the spot?
The Green Grass was thoroughly displeased with the human race. It raised its head high and said scornfully, "Hmph, if not for my master, This Grass wouldn't have come to this lousy place to deal with you bunch of idiots!"
Already furious at being planted in this wretched cave, now it had to put up with three morons!
The Green Grass was so full of resentment it nearly wanted to cleave the Three Ancestors with a single sword strike!
Chapter 14: Guardian God of the Human Race
Seeing the Green Grass seething with grievance, Suirenshi finally understood—this really was a Grass God!
