“Lexi Carr, if you go back just like this, and if those of your kind discover you, they will definitely not let you off, not to mention that you’ve leaked such important news. Aren’t you afraid of being caught?”
“Rather than returning to certain death, it’s better to forge another path. I have a way to hide your aura, as long as you are willing to trust me, I am willing to offer you a place to hide.”
Logan’s cautionary words had already touched Lexi Carr, and hearing the subsequent offer made her original thoughts waver even more at that moment.
Looking at the sincere expression on the face in front of her, Lexi Carr hesitated for a moment before finally nodding her head.
“Alright, Young Master Logan, then I’ll trouble you from here on out.”
“What talk of trouble or no trouble, we are friends. To tell the truth, only when I see you safe and healthy can I be at ease. Otherwise, if you risk danger to deliver messages and something happens because of it, I fear I would never forgive myself.”
Lexi Carr hadn’t expected Logan to value her so highly and was quite moved by this.
In the end, Logan found her a place in a village near the Imperial City.

“Here, cultivators of the human race rarely come to this place; the Demon Race also looks down on such an out-of-the-way place. You can hide here for the time being, and it won’t be too late to venture out once the situation cools down.”
Lexi Carr hadn’t expected him to be so considerate of her, and indeed, the location was remote, unlikely to be anticipated by anyone, which made it a good spot for her.
She nodded in satisfaction, but there was a concern lingering in her mind.
Seeing her lower her head, Logan, fearful of being an inadequate host, immediately inquired.
“What’s wrong? Is there something you’re dissatisfied with? Or do you dislike it here?”
Lexi Carr shook her head and managed a slight smile.
“No, Young Master Logan. Don’t worry, it has nothing to do with you, it’s my own issue. I’m just a little worried, after all, I am from the Demon Race, and I don’t know if I’ll be able to blend into the human territories. If they discover something amiss, I’m afraid it might implicate you…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Logan in front of her cut in decisively.
“That won’t happen. You’re different from any other member of the Demon Race I’ve seen. Lexi Carr, I believe in you, and I hope you can believe in yourself too. Don’t forget your grand aspirations. You’re someone who hopes for peaceful coexistence between humans and demons. If you can’t even blend in with the humans, how will you achieve your ambitions?”
His words struck right at Lexi Carr’s heart. She stared at Logan, hesitated for a moment, and then ultimately chose to nod in agreement.
“Okay, I understand. Then I’ll do as you say, Young Master Logan. I will definitely stay here and keep a low profile, and I won’t cause you any trouble.”
Logan: …
Staying undercover somehow sounded strange.
But seeing her proactive approach was good, and he merely patted her shoulder.
The two were warmly welcomed by the villagers as soon as they entered.
More precisely, it was Logan who received a warm welcome.
It was almost like a hero’s reception, with any villagers who had the time gathering around, most of them crowding around Logan, their eyes full of eager admiration.
“Captain Wood, what brings you here today? You’re such a rare guest!”
“Captain Wood, your presence truly graces our village. You are a hero in the eyes of all of us. We thought we might never see you again, and yet here you are.”
“Captain Wood, I’ve always admired you, and I hope to one day become a member of the Elite Soldiers like you. To think I’d see you here, it’s truly an honor. I’ll make sure to work hard and cultivate well so that I can join the Elite Soldiers soon, and maybe even serve under Captain Wood.”
A particularly spirited young man clearly idolized him as his hero.
Listening to the excited cheers, Logan appeared somewhat embarrassed but remained rather indifferent.
“Haha, good, then I’ll look forward to your future. Everyone, keep up the good work.”
Lexi Carr, witnessing how warmly received Logan was, seemed incredulous.
Her gaze towards Logan picked up an additional glint of admiration. Indeed, a person of great stature was admired wherever they went. Someone like Lord Logan was not only an outstanding figure among cultivators, but even the common folk knew his name and held him in such high regard.
She wondered when she could ever match Lord Logan’s prowess. As Lexi Carr admired him, she couldn’t help but feel a tinge of wistfulness.
By this time, the villagers were already talking one after another.
“Captain, I don’t know if you remember me,” one of them began. “When you patrolled around our village, you saved my child from the jaws of Ferocious Beasts. I’ve always wanted to thank you personally, but never had the chance. Now that I can see you in person, it’s truly our honor.”
“Captain, it’s the same for me,” another added. “You also rescued me from Ferocious Beasts before. It’s a bit embarrassing to say, but as a grown man, I was no match for those beasts and needed your rescue. Ever since then, I’ve been thinking about you and have hoped to thank you personally. With you patrolling near us and being so kind to us villagers, it’s a blessing indeed!”
It turned out that many of these people had received favors, minor or substantial.
Even if not directly, they had all been sheltered by the Patrol Team.
As a result, they had a very good impression of the Elite Soldiers, regarding them as Spirits.
The most impressive among them, Captain Logan, was admired by everyone.
Lexi looked at Logan and felt as if she were seeing him for the first time.
Although he showed no mercy when dealing with the Beasts, this powerful Strong One harbored a gentle heart and treated the ordinary people with such tenderness and delicacy.
Lexi felt as if she had glimpsed another side of Logan, a humane side.
Not only did she not find it odd, but she also quite liked this side of Logan.
“Young Master Logan, I had no idea you’d done so many good deeds; you’re truly a great Human,” she said.
Logan hadn’t expected Lexi to join in and was somewhat at a loss for words.
Hero, this term, when used to describe him, somehow felt incongruous.
But looking into Lexi’s bright, sparkling eyes, he couldn’t bring himself to utter a word of refusal.
In the end, he could only let out a sigh.
“Thank you,” he said.
Regardless, these two words were always the right response.
“Captain, as soon as I heard you were coming, I slaughtered a chicken and prepared a table full of good dishes. Perhaps you could come to my house for a meal later?” someone invited.
When this person spoke up, all eyes turned to him.
Hiss…
Such shrewdness indeed!
While everyone’s attention was fixed on Logan, this person had quietly made his move, and it was only then that the others realized what was happening. Although it would take time to prepare the food now, they didn’t give up, each taking their turn to speak.
“Captain, my family has raised a big hog with particularly delicious meat. Why don’t you come to my place to eat? I could slaughter a pig for you to taste some fresh meat,” another offered.
“Captain, I also caught a lot of fresh fish. How about coming over to try some? I can help you remove the bones and guarantee that you won’t get poked by any,” added another.
“Captain, I…”
It was unclear who had started this trend, but everyone began to tout their own food, each hoping the Captain would visit their homes for a hearty farm meal.
Logan could only respond humbly to their enthusiasm.
“Thank you all, dear villagers. I will remember your kindness,” he said. “But there’s no need for that. I am here because my friend wishes to stay in the village for a while. If there’s a spare room in the village where he could stay, I will cover all expenses.”
As soon as he spoke, nearly everyone was eager to offer their rooms.
“Oh, we can’t let the Captain pay,” one protested. “The Captain is our village’s Hero. The Captain’s friend is naturally our friend too, so there’s no need for the Captain to spend a dime. We promise to take good care of your friend.”
“Exactly! Our village isn’t crowded, and many have left, so there are plenty of empty rooms. You can choose any you like. And if those aren’t to your liking, my house also has spare rooms that I can offer,” another declared.
“My house as well!”
