Deities: Starting From Goblins-Chapter 876 - 512: The Sacred Name
Chapter 876: Chapter 512: The Sacred Name
. The blood-colored chrysanthemum bloomed at the tip of the vine inching towards Logan, which served not only to showcase its own strength but also as a gesture of goodwill towards him.
“Owner, I’m truly happy to see you. I’ve been thinking about you these past days…”
Logan felt that Little Flower was like a champion of sweet nothings, endlessly spouting cheesy lines that somehow still sounded sincere.
Yet he wasn’t uncomfortable with these sweet nothings; in fact, he quite enjoyed them.
“I’ve missed you too, Little Flower. You seem to have grown stronger during these days we haven’t seen each other. I’ve come for you now because we are about to leave the Secret Land, so we can’t stay here any longer. Come with us.”
Wherever the Owner was, there it would be, forever following in the Owner’s footsteps.
...
After all, it had evolved from a simple, non-sentient chrysanthemum to what it was today, gaining Spiritual Intelligence and even the power to enhance its strength, all thanks to this man before it.
“Alright, Owner, I’ll follow your lead. Let’s hurry and leave.”
Having always stayed within the Secret Land, Little Flower had never seen the outside world and began to anticipate the scenery out there.
It had only seen the Secret Land since the day it was born and had no idea if the world outside would be different from that within.
“Owner, will there be as many from the Demon Race outside? If there are, I’ll help you kill them all.”
As Little Flower spoke, it proudly lifted the blood-red chrysanthemum in its hand, poised as if ready to throw the flower onto the heads of the Demon Race.
Logan was surprised that Little Flower would say such a thing, but then he realized, it had always been in the Secret Land and naturally wouldn’t know that demons don’t brazenly run rampant in the outside world, unless it’s on the demons’ own turf.
“There probably won’t be as many demons outside.”
Little Flower felt somewhat disappointed. After all, its recent growth had depended on consuming the blood of the Demon Race. If they were to leave the Secret Land, and it encountered fewer demons, it wouldn’t be able to keep up in strength.
Would the Owner despise it then?
While it was entangled in its thoughts, Logan seemed to perceive its inner turmoil and smiled as he gently tousled its flower bud.
“Don’t worry, I will definitely find opportunities to bring more demons to you. However, we must remember, when killing demons, we only kill the bad ones, not the good ones. For example, Lexi Carr is a good demon.”
Little Flower’s bud nodded vigorously twice as if agreeing with Logan.
“Okay, as you say, Owner.”
Before the Secret Land was fully open, Logan left the Secret Land.

He knew that once the Secret Land was officially open, things would become complicated. The number of people he would encounter would increase, and disputes over possessions would be frequent.
He had already obtained benefits enough to make others envious; it was best not to flaunt them before the children of the privileged, lest he become a target for murder and robbery.
Stepping out of the Secret Land’s gate, Logan first took a deep breath and then exhaled, relishing the outside air he hadn’t felt in a long time.
Although every condition in the Secret Land was conducive to strengthening oneself, he preferred the outside world, which felt warmer and more human.
Looking around, Logan was surprised not to see 19 at the doorway of the Secret Land and found it strange.
Normally, 19 would predict Logan’s moves and he had expected to see him upon exiting; but now, it seemed 19 must be busy with something else.
But that wasn’t important. First, he needed to find a small town to stay in and wait for 19 to find him.
Logan trusted that 19 would sense his departure.
So, he immediately went to a nearby small town to find lodging.
Little White, in her transformed human form, followed by his side, looking like a beautiful and adorable little girl that people couldn’t help but find endearing.
Yet her expression remained indifferent, as if nothing could pique her interest.
Walking down the road with her, Logan didn’t understand what was on the child’s mind. Hesitating for a moment, he glanced at a hawker selling candied hawthorns and raised his eyebrow to ask Little White.
“Would you like some candied hawthorns? You haven’t tried human delicacies since you transformed into a human. Candied hawthorns have a sour and sweet taste, they’re very delicious.”
Upon hearing Logan’s voice, Little White pursed her lips, her fingers curling slightly before relaxing again.
“No need, I’m not interested in those things. Let’s go find a place to rest sooner.”
Logan was puzzled by Little White’s response.
Back when Little White was still a fox, she was lively and adventurous, eager to explore everything new and interesting.
But now, faced with something novel, she declined.
Remembering how cold and dismissive Little White had been since her transformation, Logan felt a twinge of unease.
“Little White, is there something on your mind? I feel like I am someone you can trust. If there’s something bothering you, you can talk to me about it.”
Unable to hold back, Logan stopped in his tracks, waiting earnestly for Little White’s reply.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing his words, Little White casually glanced at him, her eyes sweeping over him as if assessing something insignificant. A trace of a mocking smile seemed to flit across her face, as fleeting as a shooting star in the night sky, yet distinct enough to reveal its scornful intent before it quickly disappeared into the ether, as if it had never been there at all.
