The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1131: Chapter 1131: I Want to Cling to Your Coattails, Don’t Pretend You Don’t Know Me

Destiny bound?

Carson Flores blinked his eyes and then smiled.

Being bound was just fine.

Didn’t Cristopher Hopkins Immortal say that she came from a significant origin, and that her father was clearly an important figure?

The group that killed her didn’t dare to do it openly but had to do it stealthily, and they even feared her father finding out. To seal the news, they went so far as to sever an Ascension Passage.

If he could help Cristopher Hopkins Immortal resurrect and return to the Immortal Realm, wouldn’t he also be greatly credited?

If the Immortal resurrected and ascended back to the Immortal Realm, holding on to her coattails would surely be no problem, right?

When one attains the dao, immortality reaches the chickens and dogs. By that measure, his relationship with her had to be better than that, right?

Though it carried risks, the rewards were certainly substantial.

Moreover, the Immortal had saved his life before in the Eternal Tombfield. From the perspective of repaying kindness, he ought to help Cristopher Hopkins Immortal unconditionally, right?

Carson Flores laughed and said, ”All right, Immortal, it seems your father is indeed a big deal. When you return to the Immortal Realm later, I will have to hold on to your coattails. Just don’t pretend you don’t know me then.”

Cristopher Hopkins Immortal was amused by Carson Flores’s words and felt a slight strangeness.

Even though she knew ”holding on to coattails” meant forming connections, why did it still sound somewhat awkward?

”Okay, as long as I return to the Immortal Realm, you will naturally be compensated. By then, I will take you and the people you care about to the Immortal Realm,” she said.

Carson Flores’s eyes widened in surprise, ”Even those who haven’t gone through Tribulation Crossing can go?”

Cristopher Hopkins Immortal smiled and said, ”You wouldn’t think everyone in the Immortal Realm is above the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, would you? Think about the difference between the Mortal Realm and the Barbarian Wilderness Realm... ”

Carson Flores immediately understood. In the Mortal Realm, most people were ordinary, with a few Cultivators reaching the Innate Grandmaster realm, equivalent to the Foundation Establishment Peak in Cultivation. In the Barbarian Wilderness Realm, Cultivators were also a minority, but their pinnacle was the Transcendance Tribulation Stage. Maybe in the Immortal Realm, where Spiritual Energy was even denser, ordinary people would still be the vast majority, but the heights that Immortals could reach were simply higher.

The structure of worlds had never changed; it was just that the heights attainable by that small part were ever higher!

Carson Flores nodded and said, ”I see, now that really does fill me with motivation.”

Cristopher Hopkins Immortal spoke softly, ”During my time with you in the Mortal Realm, I’ve noticed you’re different from many Cultivators. These people, in pursuit of the Immortal Path to achieve eternal life, cut off all their ties without hesitation. But you’re different; you care a lot about your family and friends, even though they’ve completely fallen behind and might become a burden to you.”

Carson Flores laughed and said, ”Family and friends, how could they be a burden? I’ve never seen anyone as a burden to me.”

”Yes, that’s the difference between you and those I’ve seen.”

Cristopher Hopkins Immortal whispered, ”It feels reassuring to deal with or be friends with someone like you.”

Carson Flores chuckled and said, ”Thanks for the compliment, Immortal. I’m not as good as you say, though. I just feel that if others don’t screw me over, I shouldn’t actively do it to them, right? Between people, it should be mutual. You can’t just fear others screwing you over and start screwing them over preemptively, can you?”

After a pause, Carson Flores changed the subject, ”Immortal, since you come from above and have such a significant origin, is there a way to rebuild the Immortal Realm’s Sky-Piercing Array?”

”Of course,” Cristopher Hopkins Immortal assured him. ”The Sky-reaching Formation isn’t a top-secret. However, to establish this bridge, it has to be built from below and accepted from above. In the current situation, it’s definitely not feasible. They’re guarding the entrance of the passage; even if you built the Immortal Realm’s Sky-Piercing Array, without acceptance from above, the bridge can’t be properly assembled.”

Carson Flores thoughtfully said, ”If it’s as you said, then when the time comes, could we do it like this: you ascend and return to the Immortal Realm, taking over the entrance, then we prepare and build the Sky-reaching Formation. When you’re above, the bridge is assembled, and the Hollow Void Peak Powerhouses below can begin their Ascension. Wouldn’t that make it possible to become Immortal?”

Cristopher Hopkins Immortal nodded, ”In theory, it’s feasible, the premise being that we take down the guards without alerting others.”

Carson Flores’s eyes lit up, ”Since it’s feasible, can we get all those with the potential for Ascension to Immortal to help you? Organized together, that would definitely be a terrifying force...”

Cristopher Hopkins Immortal shook her head, ”No, we can’t let too many people know my whereabouts, otherwise, not just me, but even you and the entirety of Nutwood Mountain, would suffer.”

Carson Flores frowned, ”Are you saying that if too many people know, someone will betray us?”

”An inevitable result.”

Cristopher Hopkins Immortal said, ”Perhaps, there are already people covertly searching for my whereabouts. So, it’s best not to reveal my presence beside you. Otherwise, once the news reaches that woman, it will bring disaster upon you.”

Carson Flores slowly nodded, his gaze filled with added concern.

He was no longer a person with no attachments; his family now lived on Nutwood Mountain. If the news that he was helping Cristopher Hopkins Immortal reached that woman, she would surely descend upon Nutwood Mountain.

It seemed he had some arrangements to make.
