The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1446: Chapter 1446: Could It Be Because He’s Handsome?

The God Jade Pill’s effects are powerful and highly effective; Carson Flores had completely recovered within half a day after taking it.

The ointment that Selah Ellison Fairy applied to herself was evidently just as miraculous; within half a day, the exaggerated wounds on her body had entirely healed, scarred over, and flaked away.

Selah Ellison Fairy no longer appeared disheveled, regaining her calm and noble demeanor. Her phoenix eyes sparkled with a commanding and fierce presence.

Cultivators with exceptional talent who manage to achieve high realms before their twenties can choose their preferred appearance phase as their fixed visage.

Female Cultivators typically pick the appearance of around twenty-five to thirty years of age — beautiful, mature, alluring yet not naive. This is widely seen as the phase of greatest beauty and charm for women.

Male Cultivators often opt for an appearance between thirty and forty years of age for similar reasons — mature, dignified, and charismatic.

Elderly and gray-haired cultivators are either those whose talent was insufficient, missing the optimal opportunity to fix their appearance, or those whose cultivation realm has stagnated, making breakthroughs incredibly difficult as their lifespan edges closer to its end.

Selah Ellison Fairy appeared to be twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, a clear indication that she belonged among the exceptionally gifted. Carson Flores could neither discern her cultivation level nor fathom her true age.

If there were a cultivation technique that could reveal the power level of others, interacting with those whose strength couldn’t be gauged would be far less troublesome.

”Boom!”

A deafening tumult erupted as the mountain trembled, scattering stones from the fissures.

Carson Flores looked outside, worry flashing in his eyes. ”Half a day has passed, and yet this demonic beast won’t give up. It’s still searching for your trail. Fairy, what did you actually do to provoke it?”

Selah Ellison Fairy replied flatly, ”I stole one of its eggs.”

You stole its egg?

No wonder!

Carson Flores asked curiously, ”What kind of demonic beast is it? It seems incredibly powerful.”

”The Golden-Winged Great Roc.”

Carson Flores was shocked, his gaze fixating on Selah Ellison Fairy, a deep wariness rising in his heart.

He had spent three months secluded in the Scripture Pavilion, poring over various texts — naturally including introductions to renowned demonic beasts of the Immortal Realm. The Golden-Winged Great Roc was among the most infamous.

The Golden-Winged Great Roc was as massive as a mountain, its wings spreading wide to blot out the sun and sky. Its feathers gleamed like molten gold, each one harder than magical treasures forged by meticulous cultivation.

As a naturally extraordinary species, it was said to be born with strength comparable to a Human Immortal. Its growth rate was astonishingly rapid, with its mature form rivaling the power of a Peak Heavenly Immortal!

Its most renowned aspect was its speed. Among all demonic beasts, its flight ranked at the very top, far surpassing Cultivators’ capabilities by an unfathomable margin.

As the Golden-Winged Great Roc outside had already laid an egg, it was clearly fully mature, its strength unquestionably immense. With such speed and such power, for Selah Ellison Fairy to dare steal its egg, fight it, and even escape, it was evident that her strength was extraordinarily formidable!

A Heavenly Immortal?

If she did possess such power, would his trump card — his hidden strand of Sword Qi — have any chance against her?

With this realization, Carson Flores’s heart grew calmer.

Unless faced with severe conflicts, it was best to serve as a subordinate when required. Besides, she didn’t seem petty, and her temperament... well, it appeared decent?

For someone of her strength, to have allowed him to see her body without directly killing him right on the spot — perhaps it was because of his good looks?

Such a powerful figure was bound to be famous. Earlier, when she asked if he had heard her name, it wasn’t strange that he hadn’t. After all, he was just a newcomer. If she had mentioned her sect, he might have known, but a personal name? It wasn’t unusual for him to be unfamiliar.

”What should we do now?”

Selah Ellison Fairy sat cross-legged on the ground, her expression calm. ”Wait.”

Carson Flores nodded. Since the creature hadn’t detected the two of them, hiding was indeed the safest option.

It couldn’t possibly linger here forever.

Carson Flores also sat down cross-legged and quietly waited.

The Golden-Winged Great Roc clearly didn’t intend to give up. The commotion outside grew increasingly intense and closer.

”Boom!”

”Boom!”

The earth quaked as mountains cracked apart.

Carson Flores’s expression turned grim; the Golden-Winged Great Roc was launching indiscriminate, destructive attacks.

From the sound of it, the beast was drawing nearer!

With the fearful power of a Heavenly Immortal, the range covered by such strikes was vast.

Selah Ellison Fairy’s face darkened, her gaze carrying a hint of annoyance. ”This beast is truly persistent!”

Carson Flores remained silent, though inwardly he muttered to himself: You took its child. How could it not go mad?

If someone stole your child, wouldn’t you go even crazier?

”Boom!”

A thunderous explosion erupted once more. This time, the blast occurred right before their eyes, deafeningly close.

The towering peak where they had been hiding instantly shattered and collapsed under the Golden-Winged Great Roc’s assault, the fissures warping and compressing, pressing toward the two of them.

The mountain was caving in!

The three Array Flags planted within the mountain, which had been masking their aura, instantly dislodged and scattered amidst the falling cliffs.

Selah Ellison Fairy’s expression changed abruptly.

Disaster!

With the Array Flags destroyed, her aura was bound to leak out, inevitably exposing them to the Golden-Winged Great Roc.

Just as Selah Ellison Fairy prepared to grit her teeth and burrow through the rubble to escape, Carson Flores suddenly lunged forward, forming seals with his hands and pressing them toward her.

”Don’t move!”
