Chapter 885 -515: The Dark Realm
Logan lifted his head and saw Little White lying on the bed.
Her expression was as cold as it had been the last time he saw her.
“Speaking of which, before she left me, her eyes seemed to have turned red. Do you know what’s happening there?”
The Peach Blossom Demon was stunned for a moment, then furrowed her brows in confusion and, after a long pause, shook her head.
“I don’t know either. I’ve never encountered such a thing. Maybe wait until she wakes up and then ask her what the situation is.”
Logan looked at Little White, who still hadn’t woken up on the bed, and could only nod his head.
...
Since Little White couldn’t leave now, Logan decided to rest here for a while.
From daytime until evening, the stars had already climbed up into the sky.
Logan brought some food into the room, with the aroma spreading through the air.
Little White, who had kept her eyes closed, twitched her nose.
Logan watched her with interest, seeing that she was reluctant to open her eyes, he couldn’t help but laugh and said,
“What’s wrong? Aren’t you getting up? Could it be you’re not hungry after not eating for so long? Or is it that you don’t know what kind of attitude to take with me?”
Logan’s teasing words reached Little White’s ears, and she clenched her fist slightly before letting go.
However, she knew this subtle movement couldn’t escape Logan’s eyes, and she helplessly opened her eyes to look at him.
In his hands, Logan held the food, his eyes curving into a smile as he looked at Little White; seeing her awake gave him no sense of embarrassment.
He naturally took a pair of chopsticks and handed them to her along with the bowl.

“Eat something, otherwise you might feel uncomfortable if you get hungry later.”
Little White didn’t expect Logan to still treat her so calmly after knowing everything.
She had thought that Logan’s attitude would be one of two things.
One was to try to explain himself to her, and the other was to forcefully make her stay by his side through the Contract.
But now it seemed she was only projecting her mother’s memories, which made her loathe humans.
But… ever since she had memory, Logan seemed to have never done anything to wrong her, and these were all facts.
“Thank you.”
Having said that, Little White took the bowl of rice and began to eat, one bite at a time.
She ate slowly, and the more she ate, the more tears filled her eyes.
After learning of the things her mother had endured, she couldn’t forgive Logan all at once.
Yet, Logan had never done anything excessive to her.
Maybe she really ought to try to understand her mother’s situation from Logan’s perspective.
Logan watched Little White obediently eating, with tears swirling in her eyes, and shook his head helplessly, then laid his palm on top of her head and gently rubbed it.
“Don’t think too much. Whatever choice you make, I can accept it, and I hope you find happiness.”
“I’m very sorry about your mother, but at that time, I had no other choice. She was at her last gasp. If possible, I too wish she could have survived…”
At this point, Logan’s gaze seemed to see someone through Little White.
He sighed.
Although he hadn’t known the Wine Lady for long, if she had been treated well initially, she wouldn’t have gone astray later and wouldn’t have ended up on this path.
“Okay, let’s not talk about that anymore; it’s all in the past. I think it was my mother’s choice and her life.”
Logan looked up at her as she spoke, seriously awaiting Little White’s next response.
Suddenly, Little White saw Logan’s gaze cast over, and after gently pursing her lips for a moment, she spoke again.
“As for me, I feel I also have the right to choose my own life. She was deceived because she was naive, but I… I trust you, Logan.”
Logan’s eyes suddenly brightened upon receiving Little White’s affirmation.
He had thought of many possibilities, and of course, he had considered the possibility that Little White might stay by his side.
When the affair unfolded as he expected, Logan couldn’t deny that he was happy inside.
“Good, since you choose to trust me after knowing all this, I definitely won’t let you down.”
After Little White finished eating, Logan took her to say goodbye to the Peach Blossom Demon.
However, this time the Peach Blossom Demon didn’t show her true form, so they just bid farewell under the Peach Blossom Tree.
With Little White back at the inn, her mood was obviously much better than the day before. Seeing Logan preparing to go back to his room, she hesitated for a few seconds before deciding to ask him to stay.
“Logan, I was wrong about yesterday. Could you please come to my room tonight if you’re free? I want to clear up yesterday’s misunderstanding.”
Logan was also pleased that Little White realized the importance of communication and immediately nodded in agreement.
“Sure, you go rest first, and I’ll come find you in a while.”
Back in her room, Little White looked at the twinkling stars in the night sky, thinking about how conflicted she had been since last night.
Since eating that Spirit Fruit in the Secret Land last time, it seemed like some fragmented memories had begun to emerge in her mind.
They were hazy perceptions of the outside world from a time before she had opened her eyes.
It was also after eating the Spirit Fruit that she became conflicted about her attitude towards Logan.
Fortunately, Logan had proven with his actions that he would not hurt her, and that result was enough for her.
