Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 857: Chapter 504: The Grand Wedding

Logan knew what Lexi Carr was thinking and did not feel his question was offensive. He answered softly.

“This is a little yellow chrysanthemum I picked from the cliffside. It’s nothing special and doesn’t hold any secret. If there’s anything special about it, it’s probably that I have a particular affinity with it. I wanted to grow this yellow chrysanthemum, but it turned out to be exceptionally difficult to cultivate. Even with Life Spring Water, it only recovered a bit of its vigor.”

Lexi Carr seemed to understand yet not quite, but he roughly grasped that this must be some sort of emotional totem, something private about Logan, so he refrained from making further comments.

“Would Young Master Logan like to water it with more Spirit Spring Water? Perhaps that would help.”

“No need. I think plants are like humans; they’re fine as long as they’re fed. Overfeeding is bad, whether with good or bad things. Let’s just leave it at that.”

While speaking, he collected some Life Spring to use on their journey.

Watering the little yellow chrysanthemum a bit each day should also have some effect.

“Brother Logan, it seems the effectiveness of the Life Spring has reached its limit here. Let’s go search for other opportunities instead. We’ve delayed enough for this little yellow chrysanthemum and can’t afford further delays.”

Logan was aware, so he did not object to her suggestion.

“Alright, let’s find a place to rest up, and we’ll set off right away.”

Maya Leaf let out a sigh of relief.

Lexi Carr had unknowingly joined their team and started to act with them.

After resting, the group planned to continue their journey and explore the Secret Land.

“Brother Logan, just to be safe, I’ll send some Beast Pets ahead to scout the route.”

Logan thought about it and decided that it seemed safer, so he nodded in agreement.

“I appreciate it.”

“There’s nothing to appreciate or not, we’ve known each other for so long now and fought side by side. We can certainly count as friends. Why be so formal with friends? We’re partners after all!”

Maya Leaf jokingly nudged his arm. The moment her hand touched him, a bright flicker flashed through her eyes, and her cheeks warmed slightly.

However, she hid it well in front of Logan and quickly masked it with a smile.

“Since you’ve sent out Beast Pets to scout, we might as well wait here for a moment.”

Logan saw no need for recklessness and preferred to wait there for the results.

Maya Leaf was also cautious by nature and agreed with the thought, nodding in approval.

Now that Lexi Carr had been following them all this while, he naturally did whatever they did.

After a moment, the Beast Pets returned, but their mood did not seem relaxed.

Maya Leaf shared a Contractual relationship with her Beast Pets and could sense their emotions.

Her expression darkened slightly, indicating that something unfavorable had happened.

“What happened?”

Logan asked, already on alert.

Maya Leaf did not say anything but instead picked up her Beast Pet, seemingly engaging in their own unique form of communication. After a moment, she put her Beast Pet away and informed Logan.

“This is bad, Brother Logan. My Beast Pet has discovered that there’s a Demon Clan’s Headquarters ahead, and it’s not just a few members of the Demon Race, there are many. With just a few of us, we’re likely no match for them.”

As she spoke, her eyebrows knitted together in worry.

“Perhaps we should take a detour. Who knows what those Demon Race members are up to or what they’re planning. We can’t afford to directly confront so many of them right now!”

It wasn’t just about valuing their lives; it was also a strategic consideration for the journey ahead.

Everyone values their life, and they absolutely could not afford to lose their lives carelessly in the Secret Land. The best course was to act wisely and avoid a direct confrontation.

Logan initially did not express his stance, pursing his lips, seemingly hesitant.

Maya Leaf understood that recent events had fostered resentment towards the Demon Race in him, and he was reluctant to easily let them off.

“Brother Logan, ‘A gentleman’s revenge can wait ten years.’ I know you find the Demon Race repulsive right now, but there’s really no need to clash with them directly. There’s an unusual number of them there, and it would be too risky. Don’t do it!”

She had already grasped his hand, her eyes pleading. She did not want him to get hurt or act recklessly.

Seeing the concern in Maya Leaf’s eyes, Logan eventually suppressed his initial thought and said nothing.

After contemplating for a while longer, he sighed and gave his answer.

“Alright then, as you said, we’ll take a detour.”

Although he spoke the words, his expression was clearly reluctant yet resigned.

Maya Leaf felt a pang of sympathy but was also helpless; as long as Logan abandoned the notion, it all was for the best.

The group rested in place for a while longer.

Logan occasionally furrowed his brow. Despite having agreed to Maya Leaf’s suggestion, he seemed lost in thought, his concern apparent due to a Demon Clan’s Headquarters being ahead.

“Maya Leaf, let’s not hurry on our way. Let’s camp here for today.”

“What?”

Maya Leaf was confused, even thinking she might have misheard.

“Brother Logan, what do you mean? Aren’t we going to continue on our journey?”

Logan shook his head, his gaze deep.

“The Demon Race has suddenly set up camp here, and it’s a big one. I’m concerned. I want to station nearby and find out their true intentions.”

Worry appeared on Maya Leaf’s face.

“But, Brother Logan, isn’t that too risky? We are only three, and they are a whole Demon Clan’s Headquarters!”

“No matter what their plans are, what does that have to do with us? Even if we really want to save the world, we should bring more people, not joke with our safety. What do you think?”
