Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 864: Chapter 507: Nine Dragons Dragging the City_2

Reflecting on the hardships the little yellow chrysanthemum had endured, he couldn’t help but sigh softly and asked Lexi Carr.

“Lexi Carr, do you have any way to dispel the demonic Qi? It seems this little flower may not be suitable to stay by my side. Since it has been with me, it seems to have encountered even more trials than before. Once its demonic Qi is dispelled, I’ll release it back into the Secret Land.”

Logan felt his connection with this flower was tenuous at best. Otherwise, why would it still be like this after such a long time together? He had now lost all hope and was making his final plans.

“Perhaps releasing it back into the Secret Land is its best destiny. It originally belonged here, and it was I who forcefully transplanted it into the space. Maybe I was wrong from the start, shouldn’t have taken it from the cliff face.”

As he spoke, he sighed softly again, his expression filled with self-reproach.

Maya Leaf quickly came forward to offer comfort.

“Don’t say that, Brother Logan. You had good intentions from the beginning. It’s just that this little flower is unlucky and has encountered so many dangers. It was all a twist of fate. I think your idea wasn’t wrong.”

Logan looked at it and smiled, then at the little flower in his hand.

Despite some reluctance, it seemed the time to part had come.

Just as they were feeling sentimental, Lexi Carr straightforwardly pointed out something.

“Young Master Logan, I think now is not the time to dwell on this. The immediate problem is, I don’t have a way to remove the demonic Qi.”

“What?”

Logan looked at him in surprise, puzzled.

Lexi Carr lowered his head, appearing both guilty and helpless.

“I’m sorry. The higher-ups only taught us how to cultivate demonic Qi, but they never told us how to remove it. It’s also possible that it cannot be removed. After all, demonic Qi is a lethal weapon to us. Although we can absorb it, we are not its opponent.”

Lexi Carr scratched the back of his head, appearing very embarrassed.

Logan pursed his lips but said nothing; he could understand.

Perhaps like Spiritual Energy, they could absorb and use it, but that didn’t mean they could also erase it. Where would they have such great power?

“No, if the Demon Race dared to set down demonic Qi, there must be a way to remove it. It’s just that we haven’t found the right person yet.”

Logan didn’t think Lexi Carr was capable. After all, Lexi Carr was a low-status demon who wasn’t considered powerful even in his original clan.

As a target for oppression, he might not have much say or learn any real skills.

Asking him to deal with these demonic energies seemed to be ask too much.

“Lexi Carr, you don’t have to blame yourself. This isn’t your fault. I believe there’s always a way out when we reach the mountain. There must be a way to remove this demonic Qi.”

Even if he really intended to release Little Flower, he would ensure she was well-cared for before letting her go, untainted by any impurity.

At that moment, Little Flower seemed to understand she was being abandoned. Her slender body made an effort to move toward Logan.

Maya Leaf witnessed this and exclaimed in surprise.

“Brother Logan, look! The flower is moving towards you. Didn’t you say it was just an ordinary flower? Why does it seem like it has spirituality? Could it be a sentient Spirit Plant?”

She was excited as if she had discovered a new continent, shouting excitedly.

At her words, Logan couldn’t help but look down at his hand.

Indeed, he watched as Little Flower strained to move closer to him. Before he could react, the thorns on the stem pricked his hand.

Maya Leaf jumped in fright.

“Ah, why is it like this? How can this flower repay kindness with injury by pricking you with a thorn?”

Logan shook his head.

“It’s okay.”

Moreover, he didn’t feel Little Flower was retaliating, nor did he sense any malice.

As the fresh blood from his finger flowed onto Little Flower’s head,

He heard a faint voice.

“Please, don’t abandon me, Master. I will be good. Please don’t leave me in the Secret Land, take me with you, okay?”

The voice was cautious, with a hint of a cry, sounding pitifully.

Logan looked around, making sure he didn’t hear any other sounds. The source of the voice could only point to one thing, the little flower in his hand, this small yellow chrysanthemum.

It clearly couldn’t absorb Spiritual Energy, yet it really was a Spirit Plant with intelligence.

He stared at the little flower, his expression a mix of surprise and hope.

“Is it you, is it you? Little chrysanthemum, have you recognized me as your owner?”

The little chrysanthemum didn’t hide it, and that weak voice sounded again.

“Yes, I’m sorry, owner. It was presumptuous of me, but I really like you too much, and I don’t want to be separated from you.”

Toward the end, the little chrysanthemum swayed its branches and leaves, showing signs of feeling aggrieved.

“I heard what you said, that after the Demonic Qi on me is gone, you would abandon me here. I don’t want that, I don’t want to stay in the Secret Land. I don’t want to be separated from you, please take me with you.”

In the end, the voice carried a feeble plea, as if it would commit suicide on the spot if Logan disagreed.

Logan couldn’t help but laugh.

“You, aren’t you just playing the victim?”

“I don’t care. It was you who saved me on the precipice. From that day on, I had already decided to follow you. I don’t want to grow alone on a mountain wall, nor do I want to stay in this Secret Land. I just want to be with you, please don’t abandon me…”

Its voice became weaker and more abject toward the end.

Logan, who had initially felt like teasing, suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable upon hearing this.

“Ah, alright, I understand. From now on, you are my Spirit Plant.”

He announced this decision in front of the other two, and also to let Little Flower hear it. Upon hearing it, the little flower swayed with joy.

“Thank you, owner. You’re so good…”

Maya Leaf and Lexi Carr weren’t fools. They vaguely understood something too.

“Logan, have you made a contract with this little chrysanthemum? I feel like the way you two interact, even the look in your eyes, has changed.”

Logan didn’t hide it.

“Mmm, this flower seems to have awakened Spiritual Intelligence. From now on, I’ll just call you Little Flower since it rolls off the tongue.”

The little chrysanthemum seemed slightly unwilling, but it didn’t resist.

After all, as long as it could stay by the owner’s side, the name didn’t matter.

The Demonic Qi didn’t contaminate Logan; now that there was no interference, he regarded the little flower as fate. Since it had recognized an owner, he cheerfully accepted it.

“So it seems we can’t abandon this little guy. It would be very sad. Brother Logan, let’s take Little Flower with us on our journey, maybe we can find a way to help it dispel the Demonic Qi, right?”

Being treated as a Spirit Pet, the attitude towards it naturally changed. Maya Leaf’s demeanor also shifted.

Logan didn’t deny, nodding his head.

“Good. Let’s bring it along and look around, there might be some surprises.”

…

The next day, the three of them rested well and left the resting place.

On their way, Lexi Carr was very diligent, continuously destroying the traps laid by the Demon Race.

Today, he destroyed another one and was extremely happy, stepping on it and laughing out loud.

“Haha, thinking that such child’s play could blind my eyes, yet I found it. As long as I’m here, I definitely won’t let you succeed. All the traps laid by the Demon Race must be destroyed, destroyed completely!”

Lexi Carr was so excited, as if he had accomplished some great feat.

Maya Leaf smiled helplessly.

“How many traps have you destroyed along the way? Don’t you get tired of it?”

“How could I? Such things greatly hinder the peaceful coexistence between Humans and the Demon Race; they’re like my natural enemy. I will never find it tiresome. Even if only one more is eliminated, it might save one more person.”

Maya Leaf shook her head.

“I really don’t know whether to call you naive or foolish. If the conflict between Humans and Demons could be resolved by a few traps, that would be really strange.”
