Chapter 877: Chapter 512: The Holy Name_2
When Logan looked again, she had already reverted to the cold demeanor she exhibited before.
“It’s nothing. Don’t bother with my trifles. Better find a place to rest early, I don’t want to keep walking on the road.”
Seeing that Little White was reluctant to speak frankly, Logan could only heave a sigh and agree to move forward with her.
Soon, they found an inn.
He led Little White to the front desk, and upon seeing the two of them, the owner said with a chuckle.
“I wonder how many rooms the two guests would like?”
...
Logan instinctively thought to ask for one room, as he had done before when staying at inns, although at that time Little White had not undergone transformation and was just a little fox.
But now Little White had transformed into a little girl, and even if she was young, she should understand the propriety between men and women.
Logan was hesitating whether to ask for two rooms when Little White’s red lips slightly moved, her voice as cold as an ice mountain that hadn’t melted for ten thousand years.
“Two rooms.”
“Alrighty, please wait a moment, I’ll take you to see where you’ll be staying.”
The cheerful innkeeper agreed and led them forward.
Little White did not look at Logan but followed the innkeeper upstairs on her own.
Logan watched Little White’s receding figure with a heart full of words he wanted to say but ultimately could not utter. Like leaves swept away by the autumn wind, they all settled into the dust of his heart. He chose silence, deciding not to quibble over anything with her.
Night fell, and Logan washed away the day’s fatigue with the comfort of hot water. As the warm liquid flowed over his body, all the tension and stress seemed to be washed away. When he lay on the soft bed, it felt like his whole body was enveloped in ease and tranquility; the heaviness that had built up in his heart these past days seemed to release all at once, bringing him unprecedented relief and relaxation.
He took a deep breath.
“Huh, this is what a human’s life is supposed to be like. What was I even doing in the Secret Land? Now I can finally rest properly…”
Having said that, he let out another long sigh, visibly more relaxed in spirit.
Little Flower was also let out and placed in a flowerpot, looking forward to the curiosity of being in a new environment.
Now looking at this, now at that, curiously inspecting around, wanting to see what differences there were between the real world and the Secret Land.
In the end, disatisfied with just this little space, he made a request to Logan to take him for a walk on the street outside, promising not to cause trouble.
After a moment’s thought, Logan agreed. Little Flower, much like a newborn baby, possessed a heart full of curiosity towards the whole world, and gaining a bit more understanding wouldn’t be a bad thing for him.
“I need to ask Little White if she wants to go.”
Logan took Little Flower to the next-door room and knocked on Little White’s door several times, but she did not open it.
Logan furrowed his brows tightly, wondering if something had happened to Little White.
But with a moment’s thought, he again sensed the situation on Little White’s side and confirmed there were no safety issues. With a frown, he knocked again.
“Little White, are you there? We’re going out, and if you want to come play, we can bring you along.”
Seeing Logan’s persistence, Little White finally opened the door but only a crack. Her hair was wet, with droplets falling down to her shoulders, indicating she had just taken a bath.
“I don’t want to go. You guys go ahead, and don’t call me for things like this next time.”
After saying that, Little White closed the door without leaving even a crack for Logan.
Logan was somewhat puzzled by Little White’s attitude, standing still for a moment until Little Flower tentatively inquired in his mind.
“Master, are we still going?”
Logan shook his head, dismissing the unnecessary thoughts in his mind, nodded, and gently stroked Little Flower’s bud.
“If Little White doesn’t want to go, then we’ll go by ourselves. But we’ve agreed, you’re not allowed to cause any trouble on the street.”
Logan took Little Flower to the street, where there were many things Little Flower had never seen before in the Secret Land, filling him with wonder.
After strolling along the entire street, he wished he weren’t a plant so he could eat.
“No worries, once you transform, you can eat whatever you want.”
Logan soothed Little Flower, and in some way, his words also served to motivate Little Flower to strive for transformation.
Although he knew that it was quite difficult for plants to transform, the fact that they had developed Spiritual Intelligence was already the first step.
Little Flower looked at everything with fascination. Even though he couldn’t play with or eat the things, it didn’t stop him from liking them.
“I must try hard to transform in the future, so I can touch these things.”
Logan’s face wore a gentle smile as he encouraged Little Flower with a few words.
But as he spoke, he thought of Little White, who had already transformed.
He had raised Little White since she was born, and she had followed him from the start. He had never expected that after her transformation, her attitude towards him would become so cold.
Thinking of the indifferent Little White, Logan felt an inexplicable bitterness in his heart, and his smile faded slightly.
The evening wind blew through his hair, lifting it slightly, and the cool breeze suddenly gave rise to a hint of melancholy deep in his heart.
Even though the street was bustling, the wind gave off an unpleasant feeling. Logan couldn’t help but think back to the first time he met Little White several months ago on a similar night.
Just as he began to recall those memories, Logan closed his eyes for a few seconds. When he opened them again, his eyes had regained their clarity.
What do you think?
