Chapter 884 -514: Wait, Is This the Full Spirit?_3
“So, you gave them whatever they wished for?”
The Peach Blossom Demon twirled joyfully, her pink dress unfurling like a blooming peach blossom.
“Exactly. As long as they ask for my help, I give them the opportunity. However, in exchange for fulfilling their desires, they must give up something in return.”
Logan wanted to argue against her actions.
Because if a being who is worshipped fulfills wishes indiscriminately without considering their rightness or wrongness, the world would undoubtedly fall into chaos.
“I understand the doubts in your heart. You may question my decisions, thinking I shouldn’t act this way, and find it difficult to take such a step. However, have you ever deeply contemplated that I am not the supreme Deity, nor do I need to bind myself with the suffering of humans or give up the power within my reach?

...
I am not a callous being, but I also have my pursuits and choices. The suffering of humans is indeed pitiable, but I have my own path to follow and my own powers to seek. I was not born to save the masses, nor will I easily forsake my power due to their pain.
My existence is not to cater to the expectations of humans, but to find my own way and realize my own value. I know that my choices may disappoint you, but please understand, everyone has their choices, and each choice has its unique significance.”
Logan was at a loss for words to rebut her. After all, it was because humans were too greedy and wanted everything.
And it was appropriate for them to pay some price for it.
“Alright, you must have asked all about my matters by now. If you want to kill me, you are more than welcome to try. After all, I have a trump card for preserving my life.”
“But I would advise you not to do so. If you really insist on killing me, you will surely pay a hefty price. For these greedy humans who bear no relation to you, it is utterly unnecessary to undertake such an unrewarding task.”
Logan nodded.
“Indeed, it doesn’t concern me, and how you obtain power is your own business. You choose to help them fulfill their wishes and collect compensation from them, which is normal. But I hope not to hear one day of a great demon wreaking havoc”
When Logan’s words reached the ears of the Peach Blossom Demon, she was somewhat surprised. She then laughed a few times as if she had thought of something even more interesting.
“Well, speaking with you is quite intriguing. As for Little White, although I revealed to her the truth about her mother’s death, I also told her that her mother was thus only after being harmed by humans.”
The Peach Blossom Demon playfully blinked her eyes, but those peach-colored eyes lacked any emotion.
“After all, everything I told her was the truth. Whether she chooses to trust you, a human, afterward is her own matter.”
“She has the right to know her origins and also the right to make her own choices.”
“Understood, don’t worry. If she doesn’t want to stay by my side, I will not force her to stay.”
“But you are wrong about one thing. I didn’t force her to make a contract with me. The situation was dire at the time; if I didn’t take such measures and enter into a contract with her, her life could have been in danger, which is why I made that decision after much consideration.”
Logan was not lying.
When he first showed Little White’s newborn form to the monk, the monk shook his head, even though he didn’t say anything at the time, he later told Logan.
If he didn’t make a contract with Little White quickly, it was very likely that she wouldn’t survive, posing a risk to her life.
And so, after much deliberation, he decided to do just that.
“Moreover, I made an equitable contract. If Little White learns of these things and wishes to leave me, I will let her go”
Hearing Logan say this, the Peach Blossom Demon, who had been wearing a mocking smile, suddenly stopped laughing.
Her eyes, deep as a pond on which peach blossoms had fallen, seemed to probe into Logan’s sincerity.
“That’s her choice, it has nothing to do with me.”
It was only after a long while that the Peach Blossom Demon spoke these words and then signaled for Logan to follow.
Logan followed the Peach Blossom Demon to a small house behind the temple, a place that seemed seldom entered and immensely secluded.
In the surroundings, Logan saw no other monk.
As soon as he entered the small house, Logan was engulfed by the rich scent of sandalwood.
