The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1020: Chapter 1020: That Moment, He Was Not the Demon Emperor, But a Father

A veiled hat was placed on Lilianna Norman’s head, covering her cute and beautiful fox ears, and a face veil obscured her fairy-like beauty.

Carson Flores looked her over for a while and smiled, ”Not bad, unless someone extremely familiar observes you up close, no one will recognize you as the Demon Race Holy Maiden.”

Lilianna Norman gave a bitter smile, ”As the Demon Race Holy Maiden, on the Demon Race’s territory, yet having to hide and not dare show my face, it is quite ironic.”

Carson Flores was unconcerned, ”It’s only temporary.”

Lilianna Norman stared into Carson Flores’s eyes, ”You are the Human Emperor, and I am the Demon Race’s Holy Maiden. Logically, shouldn’t you take my life while I am weak? You saved me before, preventing the Demon Ancestor from possessing me, which I can interpret as you not wanting the Demon Ancestor to be reborn.”

”But after you took me away, I was already at death’s door. Why would you still save me? Letting me die and burning my body to ashes would have been better for the Human Race, wouldn’t it?”

Carson Flores just laughed, ”I didn’t think that much, I just saved you.”

Lilianna Norman bit her lip, clearly not believing Carson’s reasoning. She thought about it and then looked at Carson with bright eyes, ”Is it because of the Demon Emperor?”

Carson Flores turned his head and fixed his gaze directly on Lilianna Norman.

Lilianna Norman said softly, ”I know the Demon Emperor is your father.”

Carson Flores chuckled, ”Since you know that, then it’s good because I have some questions to ask you too...”

Lilianna Norman nodded, ”Ask.”

Carson Flores calmly asked, ”What exactly did my father experience in Harmony Hollow to become the successor to the Demon Emperor, and what is your relationship with him since you came out of the Demon Emperor’s tomb with him that day?”

Lilianna Norman ran her fingers through a few strands of her hanging hair and shifted her body, leaning against the wall next to her.

”Because of my background and innate talents, I became the Demon Race Holy Maiden. You should understand that, there’s nothing much to say about it.”

Carson Flores nodded; he wasn’t particularly concerned about Lilianna Norman’s background. Knowing that she was the Demon Race Holy Maiden and had the Innate Taoist Body was enough for him.

”The Demon Race, though scattered and disorganized, still has an organization, which is the Demon Emperor Pavilion. The Demon Emperor Pavilion serves the Demon Emperor and manages the affairs of the entire Demon Race.”

”Actually, the Demon Emperor position has always been filled, but without strong power and personal charisma, a Demon Emperor has no say within the Demon Race, thus even if there is one, it is in name only.”

Carson Flores interjected, ”So not everyone who sits in that position is called the Demon Emperor, right?”

”Exactly,” she agreed.

Lilianna Norman nodded, ”The Human Race has been searching for thousands of years for the Tomb of the Demon Emperor, and so has the Demon Race. Fortunately, we found clues and finally determined that his tomb was in Harmony Hollow.”

”Because of my unique body, unaffected by the strange poisons of Harmony Hollow, I entered Harmony Hollow to search for the Tomb of the Demon Emperor. ”

”When I discovered the Tomb of the Demon Emperor, the Heart of the Demon Emperor had already merged with your father’s chest for many years and had become one with him.”

”I don’t know how the Heart of the Demon Emperor chose your father. Once it knew I was the Demon Race Holy Maiden, the Demon Emperor planned to return with me to the Demon Race.”

”It happened that the Human Cultivators energetically entered Harmony Hollow to explore the Tomb of the Demon Emperor, so the Demon Emperor set an ambush for you all.”

”Because I entered the Tomb of the Demon Emperor and helped him with a major problem, aiding him in completing the fusion, he trusts me a lot. Moreover, as I am the Demon Race Holy Maiden with the Innate Taoist Body, he values me highly.”

”This time summoning the Demon Ancestor was also commanded by him for me and the Crimson Dragon King and others to handle, just that we didn’t expect such a turn of events...”

Carson Flores frowned as he asked, ”You mentioned the Demon Emperor. Did he know that the Demon Ancestor’s talk of rejuvenation and blood awakening was a trap? In simple terms, did the Demon Emperor know the Demon Ancestor would possess you?”

Lilianna Norman shook her head, ”I don’t know.”

If the Demon Emperor was aware of this and still sent Lilianna Norman, then it was like throwing her into the lion’s den on purpose, exchanging her life for the rebirth of the Demon Ancestor.

If the Demon Emperor was unaware, then it was a different matter, and he couldn’t be blamed.

Carson Flores asked, ”What is the Demon Emperor’s current state?”

Lilianna Norman understood what Carson Flores meant by asking this. After thinking for a moment, she said, ”He’s more like the Demon Emperor, not like your father. Of course, that might be because he was dealing with me, facing the Demon Race, and not you, not his son.”

Carson Flores was silent for a few seconds, ”Does he still remember?”

Lilianna Norman firmly replied, ”Of course he remembers. The last time after the True Dragon Secret Realm, I went back to report, mentioning how you saved my life. His reaction was completely different from usual...”

Carson Flores’s eyes brightened, ”How so?”

Lilianna Norman pressed her lips together, ”Happy, proud. I feel that at that moment, he wasn’t the Demon Emperor but a father, your father.”

Happy?

Proud?

Carson Flores slowly exhaled, his eyes exceptionally bright with a complex emotion surging within him.

At this moment, as a father, are you truly proud of your child’s prowess?
