The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1898: Chapter 1898: One Flower, One World; One Leaf, One Bodhi

When Selah Ellison Immortal Lord decided to give herself to this man, she hadn’t considered a lifelong union, a shared destiny. However, he was, after all, a man she had chosen—a man who had been inside her body—and naturally, she cared about his attitude.

When she said those words in front of Alfred Weaver, it was partly to gauge Carson Flores’ reaction.

If he was quick to deny or hasten to explain, she wouldn’t say much, but the relationship would end there.

Carson Flores felt awkward, his face flushed, yet he neither explained nor argued, a reaction she acknowledged.

This guy had feelings; he did not want to sever ties just because he had struck up with the leader of the Upper Immortal Palace.

Therefore, she knew she might not be a match for Aydin Hatfield, but she was still willing to fight this battle.

”Fortunately, it’s not serious; with a bit of rest, it will heal.”

Carson Flores breathed a sigh of relief: ”That’s good. You scared me just now.”

Selah Ellison Immortal Lord blinked: ”Worried about me?”

Carson Flores laughed: ”Either I am your man, or you are my woman. Not to mention the times we’ve survived hardships together; how could I not be worried?”

Selah Ellison Immortal Lord was amused by Carson Flores’ words.

”What do you think? Are you my man, or am I your woman?”

Carson Flores answered without hesitation: ”No difference. Even though I am your man now, someday, you will be my woman!”

At first glance, these two sentences seemed identical, but they weren’t; they involved an implicit meaning about who would eventually be in charge.

As the Immortal Monarch, Selah Ellison Immortal Lord was powerful and proud. She might not be willing to take on the role of Carson Flores’ woman, so he didn’t offer a choice. Instead, with confidence, he told her, no matter how you think now, in the future, I will certainly become stronger than you and make you my woman!

Selah Ellison Immortal Lord’s eyes sparkled: ”Very manly, quite bold. Considering your good performance today, I’ll tentatively be your woman!”

Carson Flores’ eyes brightened, about to speak, when Selah Ellison Immortal Lord suddenly gestured toward the front.

”Let’s watch the show first!”

In the sky above the basin, the experts from the Heavenly Alliance looked uneasy. At this time, they were surrounded by a dense circle of opponents, whose number exceeded theirs by countless times.

Today might be troublesome!

Who would have thought Nico Weaver suddenly returned!

Victory was almost in sight, but suddenly, this happened.

All Heavenly Alliance members focused their gaze on Aydin Hatfield, with a sense of hidden expectation in their eyes.

Aydin Hatfield’s face was hard, losing his previous nonchalance and elegance: ”Nico Weaver, you sure returned at a convenient time!”

Nico Weaver laughed heartily: ”This is fate! If I had come even a bit later, my daughter would have been bullied by you lot. Old codgers bullying a young girl, have you no shame!”

Aydin Hatfield said coldly: ”Judging by your recent attack, have you advanced to the Great Land?”

Nico Weaver laughed: ”One foot is in; I can fully cross anytime I want!”

Aydin Hatfield asked in surprise: ”Why not cross directly?”

Nico Weaver sneered: ”I originally planned to cross directly, but someone came to me, telling me my daughter had returned, and the culprit who harmed her turned out to be Maggie Fitzgerald, and now there’s would-be usurpers called the Heavenly Alliance aiming to overthrow the Celestial Palace. Naturally, I rushed back to see my daughter, achievements in the Great Land can wait.”

Aydin Hatfield calmly said: ”Indeed it’s fate, but since you haven’t crossed that step, you may not win even if you returned today!”

Nico Weaver squinted slightly: ”Oh, so you’re saying you have some trump card?”

Aydin Hatfield’s gaze swept over the densely packed Heavenly Immortal experts around, sneering: ”Don’t be fooled by the numbers; these are just a rabble. As long as I kill you, I will still be today’s victor!”

Nico Weaver waved the Trident casually, laughing: ”Then show your hand; let me see. I’ve heard you’re from an esteemed family in the High Immortal Realm, never let me down!”

Aydin Hatfield opened his hand, revealing a green leaf that looked somewhat like a mulberry leaf.

Nico Weaver’s gaze fell on the seemingly ordinary mulberry leaf, his eyes showing a solemn expression.

”A flower a world, a leaf a Bodhi!”

Aydin Hatfield’s eyes glimmered slightly: ”Good insight!”

Nico Weaver squinted his eyes slightly: ”Your background indeed seems extraordinary, but just relying on this leaf, trying to kill me might not be possible!”

Aydin Hatfield sneered: ”I’m very curious whether Domain Master Nico with this astounding combat power can withstand the world’s dao contained in this leaf!”

Aydin Hatfield tossed the mulberry leaf into the air, and it rapidly enlarged in the sky. In an instant, it transformed to thousands of meters high, piercing the heavens, its width continuously extending. The leaf then turned into a blue-green canopy, slanting downward, engulfing Nico Weaver.

The leaf’s veins seemed to emit light; in that instant, although it was clearly a leaf, it felt like an entire world!
