Wasting Money to Become an Immortal-Chapter 277: Great Sage
There were more roots that came out of the ground after this first one was shattered.
They didnβt aim for the same foot, but rather they were aimed at the other foot. ππ£πππ°πππ§πΌπππ.π°π¨π¦
They came at different angles as if they wanted to surround my foot, but the same thing happened where a golden barrier appeared to block them all. This golden barrier appeared around my foot like some kind of armour, so the roots werenβt able to penetrate into my flesh.
Seeing this, the small flower had no hesitation at all as it jumped out of the ground and turned to run.
I couldnβt help being a bit surprised since I never thought that the small flower would be able to do something like this.
It seemed that this small flower had hid this card to make itself seem more pitiful, but it didnβt work since there was no one that pitied it.
It didnβt get more than two steps as it was suddenly slammed down into the ground.
With the way that it was slammed down, it was as if there was something heavy that suddenly fell down on it. When looking closely, one could see that there was a trace of golden light that was above the small flower as it laid there on the ground.
The small flower seemed like it was struggling to break free for a bit, but then it submitted.
This time, it said in a voice that was filled with submission, "I yield! Please let me be your slave!"
This small flower didnβt seem to have any shame at all.
It had just tried to ambush me after saying that it wanted to be my slave and now that it failed, it was saying that it wanted to be my slave again.
Only a fool would believe what this small flower was saying and I definitely wasnβt a fool.
After all, I had already prepared the systemβs defenses as I walked over.
When I had been slowly walking over to where the small flower had been before, I had a conversation with the system.
"Partner, is the defense system ready?"
"Host...Partner, the defense system is ready to protect you at any moment."
There was a bit of awkwardness from the system as it was still getting used to addressing me as partner, but it was good to see that the system had accepted this form of address.
It meant that it accepted the relationship between us.
After the small flower was slammed into the ground and while it was screaming that it wanted to be a slave, the same booming voice as before rang out.
"Shut your mouth, you fool!"
The small flower did fall silent in the end, but that was because the pressure that was on it was just too powerful that it wasnβt even able to open or close its mouth. The only thing that the small flower could do was look up at me with a pitiful look as if it was trying to invoke sympathy with me.
However, all I could do was look at it with a very strange look.
That was because this flower looked very familiar...
With its white center part and yellow petals, it looked just like a famous character from a certain game in my past life. That flower had been a bad guy, but he turned out to be a good guy in the end...
But that wasnβt the case for this small flower.
This small flower was an invader and a pest that needed to be exterminated, so it wasnβt as if I felt any sympathy for it.
Especially since it had just tried to attack me.
It wasnβt as if that was something that I would forget right away.
I didnβt have the memory of a goldfish.
But I didnβt go forward towards the small flower even though it was immobilized since the system had told me to wait.
The system seemed to want to do something with the small flower, so I waited to see what it was.
In the end, there was a golden figure that suddenly appeared above me.
The moment that this golden figure appeared above me, I could see that everyone suddenly went down a bit. It was as if there was something pressing down on them that was forcing them to lower their bodies.
Of course, I didnβt seem to feel anything from this...
I knew exactly what it was, so I simply said, "Are you done showing off?"
The moment that I said this, the pressure that had been released suddenly disappeared before an awkward chuckle came from the golden figure and they said, "Sorry, young master."
But then they turned their attention to the small flower that was pressed on the ground.
Even if they released the pressure that was on everyone else, they hadnβt released the pressure that was on the small flower. In fact, the small flower might have been crushed a bit more because the golden figure had suddenly appeared.
Once the golden figure landed, I was able to see the outline of it.
Compared to before, I was even able to see it a bit more clearly.
This was a voice that I didnβt recognize, but the outline of this golden figure made it quite obvious who it was...
It was walking on two feet and was standing up like a human, but I could tell from the outline that this golden figure was covered in fur. It was clear that it was some kind of half human and half beast hybrid.
But the most important thing was that...the fur that it had was like that of a monkeyβs.
This...could it be?
"Partner...Is there anything that you want to say about this?"
The system was silent for a bit before suddenly saying, "Partner, please donβt ask about this. This isnβt something that the system can say since it is forbidden by the creator. If you figure it out on your own, then thatβs fine, but the system cannot say it out loud."
Well, that did explain what happened before and I did feel a bit better that the system told me.
However...
Wasnβt this the Great Sage Equal to Heaven?!
