Chapter 843: Chapter 497: Heather Graham! Heather Graham!
“It’s true, I have no reason to lie to you. My life is in your hands, what good would it do me to lie?”
Seeing that he remained silent, the woman, thinking he did not believe her, hastily explained.
“I only found out about this Secret Land by chance and had just begun to explore here when you suddenly appeared. It’s only natural to be on guard!”
Logan thought to himself that he had set up a Concealment array at the entrance of the cave from the start.
The woman surely didn’t know that his emergence from the cave was sudden; if she was startled and cast a spell in response, it seemed excusable. However, an account of the attack still had to be settled separately.
“Whatever the reason, if I weren’t quick-witted, I would have died under those venomous snakes and birds moments ago. You attacked me without distinction; how do you account for the damage you caused?”
...
Logan was not one to spare someone for being a woman; he was set on getting compensation.
Hearing this, the woman seemed to understand his intent and pouted.
“You’re quite the pragmatist, huh! Alright, alright, since I accidentally injured you, I’m willing to take responsibility. I have some rare Herbal Medicines here; I don’t know if they might be of use to you.”
“That’s not enough. Look, can you let me go so I can show you my wound?”
The woman tilted her head to look at him, her expression somewhat playful, but this did not beguile Logan.
He remained vigilant throughout, sizing up the woman up and down, and only after confirming that she had no backup and could not overcome him did he release her.
The woman heaved a sigh of relief, clutching her neck, filled with emotion.
“You really don’t know how to be tender-hearted to women, do you? Such strength in your grip. Hey, let me tell you, you won’t be able to find a girlfriend this way!”
Logan glanced at her impassively, indifferent to her remark.
The woman made a face: “What a blockhead.”
Regardless, she didn’t forget her promise and stepped forward to check Logan’s body, only to find a large wound on his arm caused by some venomous creature, with the poison already spreading.
“Ah, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize it was so serious.”
Although she had acted against someone, she hadn’t intended to kill. Now, due to a misunderstanding, she had seriously injured him.
The guilt made the woman’s pretty face droop.
Afterwards, she looked at his wound worriedly and immediately took out the appropriate medicine.
“Sir, these medicines are from my family’s collection, crafted by our Elders. They are among the best and I’ll help you apply them. If you have any concerns, you’re welcome to smell them. There is nothing strange inside, and they certainly won’t harm you.”
Logan looked at her intently, taking the bottle and sniffing it lightly.
Indeed, it contained healing Herbal Medicines, and all of them were Spirit Grass, clearly expensive and sophisticatedly produced. This person casually offered such high-quality items, suggesting that her family was no ordinary household.
Assured of its safety, Logan nonetheless allowed her to treat his wound, considering it a debt owed to him.
It was the woman’s first time seeing a man’s strong arm. The potent scent of hormones hit her face, casting a blush upon her cheeks and a haze in her eyes. But after recovering from her daze, she still reddened, applying the medicine with all the care of a new bride.
After a moment, the application was complete and Logan dressed, preparing to leave.
Seeing that he was truly about to walk away, the woman grew anxious.
“Hey, you’re just going to leave like that? Won’t you stay a little longer?”
Logan turned back, looking at her.

“We’re strangers who just met. We go our separate ways; the sky is wide enough for all. Do you expect me to stay and catch up as if we were old friends?”
The woman’s face flushed with embarrassment, unsure how to respond to his bluntness. Logan had no time for her awkwardness and, after speaking, turned to leave again.
She bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, her troubled face watching his receding figure. She hesitated for a long time but finally mustered the courage to call out to him.
“Wait a minute.”
Logan halted, turning around with a hint of impatience.
“What do you want now?” he seemed to imply that the young lady was being unnecessarily troublesome.
The woman, picking up on that, couldn’t help feeling a bit miffed and pouted petulantly.
“Hmph, it’s like this, sir. The risks are numerous here in the Secret Land. I’ve only just entered and already faced many dangers, hence my hostility towards anyone on sight. Seeing that you’re capable, I was wondering if we could perhaps travel together. I assure you I won’t hold you back, and who knows, I might even be able to help you when needed. What do you say?”
She certainly dangled a tempting offer.
Unfortunately, Logan did not bite, bypassing the lure entirely.
“No need. I’m used to being on my own and don’t care for company. You should find someone else.”
Having said that, he intended to leave.
The woman was not content to let it go.
“With all the dangers and opportunities in the Secret Land, isn’t it better to have another person lend their strength? Why do you insist on rejecting me?”
Logan didn’t bother to answer or say anything further.
Just as the woman’s spirits faltered, she noticed a fluffy thing at her feet. Upon closer examination, it was an extremely cute little fox.
It seemed newly born, a tiny and adorable ball of snow-white fur.
“Wow, such a cute little fox!”
