The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 661: Chapter 661: Do You Want to Eat Spiritual Medicine? I Have It!_1

Carson Flores watched the fleeing figure disappear into the horizon, his face revealing a hint of a cold smile.

Katherine Reid set a trap for herself, but unfortunately, she predicted the beginning, yet could not foresee the end.

Carson Flores flew back to the cave’s entrance on his Flying Sword, but instead of hurrying to pick the sixth-grade lotus platform, he walked into the cave.

It was quite strange that the Snow Dragon Leopard King understood human speech.

The cave was spacious, and as Carson Flores walked in, he cast an Illumination Technique, lighting up the entire cave as brightly as day; he immediately noticed a skeleton sitting cross-legged in a chamber hewn from the rock face.

There was actually the skeleton of a Cultivator inside this cave!

Carson Flores approached the skeleton with surprise, inspected it closely for a while, and deduced that it must have belonged to an elderly male, whose clothes had decayed, indicating he had been dead for quite some time.

After respectfully paying his respects, Carson Flores then took the Space Ring off the skeleton’s hand.

The Space Ring was not overly filled: a Flying Sword, elixirs, Talismans, miscellaneous items, and a Jade Slip. Carson Flores took a quick look and was surprised to find that it was a diary left by the deceased.

He quickly skimmed the contents and roughly understood the whole story.

The deceased was named Forrest Austin, an elder of the Thousand Swords Sect, with strength at the Divinity Transformation Stage, and was an Artifact Refiner. Ten years ago, he had entered the Secret Realm to search for some crucial materials for Artifact Refining, but encountered the Spirit Rhinoceros Storm.

Forrest Austin ran for his life, but couldn’t outrun the Spirit Rhinoceros Storm. In a moment of crisis, he found this cave entrance, rushed in, and then used Spell to seal the entrance.

At that time there was a Snow Dragon Leopard in the cave, which was no match for Forrest Austin and was quickly subdued.

Maybe out of boredom being alone, Forrest Austin didn’t kill the Snow Dragon Leopard; instead, he spent days and nights with it, leading to the beast’s ability to understand human speech.

However, the power of the Spirit Rhinoceros Storm was tremendous. Although Forrest Austin kept on repairing the Spell sealing the entrance, it eventually disintegrated under the storm’s force, and the storm swept into the cave as well.

Forrest Austin couldn’t withstand the destructive force of the storm and eventually died in the cave, his cultivation completely ruined. The Snow Dragon Leopard, on the other hand, was fortunate in the disaster and transformed into the Snow Dragon Leopard King amidst the storm.

In the Jade Slip, Forrest Austin claimed that if someone found his remains, they should send them back to the Thousand Swords Sect, which would surely offer a reward.

Carson Flores stored Forrest Austin’s skeleton into his own Space Ring, intending to fulfill his last wish and take the remains back.

Although he didn’t receive any specific benefits, it was still a fateful encounter; having seen it, he would send it back.

Maybe he could even cultivate a good relationship with the Thousand Swords Sect.

Carson Flores exited the cave entrance and happened to see the Snow Dragon Leopard King flying back, landing in front of him, still wary in its gaze towards Carson Flores.

Carson Flores asked, ”Did you catch up?”

The Snow Dragon Leopard King nodded.

Carson Flores, pleased, asked, ”Did you kill all three?”

The Snow Dragon Leopard King shook its head.

Carson Flores asked, ”Killed one?”

Shook its head.

”Two?”

Nodded.

Carson Flores expectantly asked, ”Is that woman dead, the one with long hair?”

Shook its head.

Carson Flores was slightly disappointed; Katherine Reid really had a large streak of luck.

He had forgotten to instruct the Snow Dragon Leopard King to kill Katherine Reid first, just telling it to kill; he had been neglectful.

Carson Flores wasn’t worried about Katherine Reid badmouthing him upon her return; after all, she was the one who had tried to harm him, and he was ”lucky to survive” the ordeal – who could blame him?

If this story got out, most likely everyone would say they got what they deserved.

It’s a case of one trying to harm another but only harming oneself.

Who would know that this magical beast could understand human speech, let alone that it had formed a partnership with him?

As Carson Flores approached the sixth-grade lotus platform, the Snow Dragon Leopard King immediately became anxious, emitting a low growl from its throat, which sounded like the protective growl of a puppy guarding its food, only with a conspicuous lack of confidence, almost sounding somewhat plaintive.

Turning to look at the Snow Dragon Leopard King, which looked like it wanted to be angry but didn’t dare to, Carson Flores laughed: ”You want to eat this, huh?”

The Snow Dragon Leopard King nodded; if it could eat this, its strength would greatly increase. Having guarded it for so long, it was naturally reluctant to part with it.

After some thought, Carson Flores took out several types of Spiritual Medicine from his Space Ring, all of which were valuable and high-quality, ripened by him to be at least several hundred years old.

Once these Spiritual Medicines were taken out, the air was immediately filled with their intense fragrance. The Snow Dragon Leopard King’s eyes lit up with a greedy gleam, took two steps forward, then stopped cautiously, warily watching Carson Flores.

Looking at the Snow Dragon Leopard King, Carson Flores had the illusion that this majestic beast, comparable to a Nascent Soul Powerhouse, was like a pet dog he had raised.

Carson Flores smiled and said, ”This sixth-grade lotus platform, you give it to me, and in exchange, I give you these Spiritual Medicines, how about that?”
