Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 938: Chapter 536: Bloodbath in the Esophagus

At this, Ellie hesitated a bit, giving up the idea of pawning things to buy some rare Beast meat. She decided to just buy some ordinary meat.

She certainly didn’t want to annoy her benefactor and end up with nothing in the end.

Ellie’s mother sat next to Logan, very restrained and also very respectful.

“For the great kindness you have bestowed upon us, we will be unable to repay it in this lifetime,” she said.

Logan waved his hand dismissively.

“Madam, you are too polite. It was just a small effort on my part. You need not take it to heart or worry about it,” he said.

“No, it is necessary. To be frank, this old woman has nothing else on her mind, except for my daughter. If, if your lordship is short of a helping hand…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Logan already understood her meaning and waved his hand to refuse.

“Madam, I don’t need anyone to serve me. As a Walker, I have always been by myself, and I am afraid I won’t miss anyone or bring anyone along. It’s not suitable for Miss Ellie. She should marry a good family in the future and lead a common life…teaching children and caring for her husband,” Logan said.

After hearing this, what more was there for Ellie’s mother to misunderstand?

Although a little disappointed by Logan’s refusal, she also breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew Ellie had always been paying attention to the situation here.

Having heard these words, perhaps the girl could finally give up.

Ellie, having attentively listened to their conversation, felt unsettled, nearly cutting herself while chopping vegetables.

But soon, she gathered her spirits and continued her work meticulously.

Yet, while busying herself, she couldn’t help but think about Logan’s words.

Always alone? Unwilling to bring along another person?

But after careful thought, what could she, a frail young girl, possibly help him with?

He was such an impressive person, and yet she lacked the capability to even stand by his side.

With these thoughts, Ellie’s head drooped lower, and she felt increasingly downhearted.

However, she hid her feelings well, cooking quietly as if nothing had happened.

Aside from her mother, Logan did not notice Ellie’s abnormality.

Ellie’s mother saw it, but could do nothing more than sigh with maternal concern.

Alas, one can’t blame her for asking that question—it was all for Ellie’s own good, to quench the child’s thoughts, so she could lead an ordinary life in the future.

After composing herself inwardly, she smiled warmly at Logan.

“So it is. You are no ordinary man, and naturally you wouldn’t do ordinary things. There’s nothing more I can say, and can only wish you all the success in your journey, hoping you will have a smooth road ahead,” she said.

Saying this, she toasted Logan with tea in place of wine, raising her cup to him first.

Logan accepted her gesture without any contempt for her being an elderly lady, appreciating her toast.

“Then I’ll take your kind words,” he responded.

While the two of them were chatting and laughing, Ellie also managed to calm her emotions.

She brought over the meal she had prepared, placing it on their table.

“Mom, Logan, the meal is ready. Let’s eat together. There’s nothing fancy like Spirit Beast Meat, just some ordinary pork and chicken that I caught in traps on the mountain. My cooking skills are average, so please try it as you like, and don’t force yourself if it’s not to your taste,” she said.

“Of course, I won’t. The thought alone is much appreciated,” Logan replied.

Ellie smiled shyly, for even though she knew she couldn’t stay by his side, a word of praise from him could still make her heart skip with joy.

That was good enough. Even if she could only watch him from a distance, her life would be considered worthwhile.

With this thought, she felt much more at ease and served herself a bite of food.

During the meal, Logan did not forget to check on Ellie’s mother.

“Has anything happened in the past few days? Are you feeling well?” he inquired.

Ellie’s mother, who had been eating sparingly, put down her chopsticks upon being asked.

She smiled gently, her expression warm and approachable.

“All is well. Thanks to the Elixir you provided, my health has improved a lot. With time, I believe I will get even better,” she said.

Ellie was also happy, nodding in agreement.

“Yes, Mom can eat more now. Before, she couldn’t eat anything, and I was so worried. Now, seeing her eat makes my heart happy,” Ellie added.

For them, simple, ordinary people, eating well and sleeping well signified good health.

Logan nodded, seemingly pleased for them.

“That’s good to hear,” he said.

After the meal, once Ellie had cleaned up, Logan thought carefully about his words and then informed them of his decision.

“By the way, I came here today not just to check on you, but also to tell you something… I will probably leave here soon,” he said.

“Leave?”

The word made Ellie’s heart skip a beat, and she reflexively looked at him.

“Young Master, what do you mean? Won’t you stay here?” she asked.

Logan shook his head to explain.

“I am not originally from here; I was just passing through. I came here to rest for a while, or you could say it was a part of my adventure. My adventure here has passed, and it’s time to embark on a new journey. This was simply my resting place mid-journey,” he explained.

“I see…”

Ellie appeared to be deeply affected, murmuring to herself, her movements slowing down as she reluctantly looked at him.
