Chapter 1010: Chapter 572: Sea of Cosmic Suffering

Logan, deep in thought about the demon race’s attack, unexpectedly ran into Snow Wood here.

He was momentarily stunned before he quickly greeted her with a gentlemanly bow of the hand.

“Miss Wood.”

At the sound of that, Snow Wood also caught sight of him and paused briefly.

Then, to her own surprise, a faint smile curled the corners of her lips, and a joyful emotion that stirred her heart seemed to glimmer in her eyes.

For Snow Wood, who always maintained a composed facade with others, this was a rare expression.

Her lips moved slightly before she uttered those two words with some sentiment.

“Logan.”

In the past days, remembering their previous quarrel, Snow Wood had not sought out Logan.

She had thought that Logan would notice on his own and come to find her.

But to her astonishment, Logan had not come to see her at all from beginning to end.

Not only that, he hadn’t offered an apology or presented a gift.

Snow Wood stomped her feet in frustration inside her own tent.

She had always been coddled by others, so when had she ever encountered someone so insensitive?

Oddly enough, she neither hated nor loathed him, nor did she plan to stay far away from him; rather, she just harbored a bit of playful regard because he hadn’t approached her.

Snow Wood acknowledged her whimsical feelings with some inner conflict.

What was going on with her?

Why did she feel downcast because Logan hadn’t come over, and why was she unhappy that he hadn’t sought her out? Why indeed?

She questioned herself over and over, even whispering his name in the stillness of the night.

One thing was certain, every time she uttered Logan’s name, her heart would suddenly flutter.

Snow Wood thought, it was as if she had been poisoned by something named Logan.

That poison seemed to have penetrated deep into her bones, making it utterly impossible for her to get rid of.

On countless nights, she would see his figure in her dreams.

Once, they even…

The memories of those intimate scenes flashed through her mind again, causing her ears to blush with embarrassment upon seeing Logan once more.

Logan noticed and was puzzled.

Why the blushing? Could it be that something he was unaware of had happened during these days they hadn’t seen each other?

“These days there’s gossip spreading everywhere about the secrets of the Imperial City, isn’t Young Master Logan joining in with others to chat?”

Logan’s response carried a hint of a smile, but he didn’t elaborate, countering with a question instead.

“Hasn’t Miss Wood refrained as well?”

Snow Wood was taken aback, then touched her nose and flashed an indifferent, light smile.

“I just dislike the noise, that’s all. Knowing the news is enough; I don’t intend to get overly involved. Rather than chatting with them, I’d prefer to come here to keep busy; it’s easier to quiet the mind this way.”

“I feel the same,” agreed Logan, nodding in response. It wasn’t just to concur for the sake of it; he truly felt that way.

Snow Wood glanced at his profile, and for a moment, she found herself distracted.

When she snapped back to reality, her actions had outrun her thoughts, speaking out first.

“Young Master Logan, if you’re free, why don’t we walk around? Patrol is patrol, whether it’s done by one person or two.”

After speaking, she felt a tinge of annoyance and surreptitiously bonked her own head.

Oh dear, what was she thinking, letting those thoughts slip out?

Snow Wood pursed her lips, then revealed a somewhat embarrassed smile.

But Logan didn’t overthink it, nor did he notice her uneasiness, and simply said.

“Alright, let’s patrol together then; it’s nice to have some company.”

Hearing the word “company,” Snow Wood’s eyes briefly flitted with a strange tinge, but she quickly concealed it.

The two walked side by side, patrolling and chatting.

“Young Master Logan, come to think of it, I haven’t asked how you’ve been faring in the army these days? Are you getting along well with the soldiers?”

Their initial interaction was a bit silent and the atmosphere slightly stiff.

However, eventually, Snow Wood broke the ice and proactively asked a question.

To a question, naturally, there came a reply.

Logan thought for a brief moment and then nodded.

“It was certainly unpleasant at first, but, in the military, where strength is paramount, you know that as long as you have power, nothing else is a problem. Those men have been brought under control. What about you? As a prominent disciple of the Falling Snow Sect, surely many have heard of your reputation; bringing them around must be smooth sailing for you.”

His last comment was indeed true, and Snow Wood didn’t hide it, nodding in agreement.

“Yes, everyone is aware of my strength, and there haven’t been any who dared to provoke me.”

“Moreover, they also seem to like me quite a bit, I’m quite popular. Even though I’m the captain, sometimes they’re so eager to handle things that I don’t even seem like a leader who’s supposed to look after the team!”

When Snow Wood said this, she deliberately tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and turned her head to catch Logan’s reaction, curious about his expression.

Truthfully, she never took pride in such trivial matters and didn’t like to flaunt these things before.

But somehow, in his presence, she had the sudden urge to mention it.

She just wanted to provoke him a bit, to see how he would react.

Yet, Snow Wood was disappointed once again.

His face remained as impassive as ever, indifferent as if nothing mattered to him.

“Is that so, that’s great news. It seems Miss Wood is very popular. And why not? With your beauty and exceptional skills, you must be the dream girl of many men, so they naturally see you in a different light.”
