The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1918: Chapter 1918: The Father-in-law’s Alcohol Test for the Prospective Son-in-law

“Looks like I made the right decision?”

Nico Weaver smiled faintly: “It’s not about right or wrong, just what’s suitable and what isn’t.”

“If it were just you and Cristopher Hopkins today, whatever you do together is natural, but you’re leaving with Selah Ellison Immortal Lord tomorrow, yet spending the night with my daughter. I won’t stop you, but I will think less of you.”

“I won’t explain the reason, because you understand yourself.”

Nico Weaver grabbed some peanuts, threw them into his mouth, and chuckled: “Although this matter is destined not to be perfect, at least you got a passing score.”

Carson Flores nodded, willingly explaining: “Even though my relationship with Cristopher Hopkins isn’t public, I still hope she receives everything she deserves. Someday, I wish to give her a ceremony, to earn your blessing, because love without the parents’ blessing is incomplete.”

Nico Weaver’s eyes lit up: “Well said, you kid, you really know how to phrase things!”

Carson Flores raised his glass: “Uncle Yao, I toast to you, and there’s a question I want to ask.”

Nico Weaver clinked glasses with Carson and drank it all: “Ask away!”

Carson Flores stared at Nico Weaver’s face: “Uncle Yao, you’ve already got one foot in the Great Land and don’t care for power. Why not take Cristopher Hopkins directly to the High Immortal Realm? Once you cross into the Great Land, you’ll inevitably go to the High Immortal Realm. To my knowledge, besides Cristopher Hopkins, you have no other relatives…”

Nico Weaver chuckled: “You don’t really need to ask.”

Carson Flores asked curiously: “Why?”

Nico Weaver picked up chopsticks and pointed at the plate: “Eat, the taste is quite good… If you were me, would you just take Cristopher Hopkins and leave?”

Carson Flores was stunned for a moment and then understood. He smirked and raised his glass: “A great man knows what to do and what not to do; I really shouldn’t ask.”

Nico Weaver laughed heartily: “Chatting with a smart kid like you is easy. Let’s drink, it’s like I’m sending you off.”

The drinking session lasted a long time, with Carson Flores getting quite tipsy. What topics were discussed and what he said himself, he couldn’t remember—only that by the time he finished the last glass, it was already daylight.

Carson Flores dazedly boarded Selah Ellison Immortal Lord’s Flying Boat, fell asleep, and when he finally woke up, he’d long since left the Great Desolate Ancient Battlefield by tens of thousands of miles.

“You awake?”

Selah Ellison Immortal Lord smiled, crouching in front of Carson Flores, eyes filled with mirth as if seeing something amusing.

Carson Flores rubbed his face with his hand, glanced around, and said with a wry smile, “Was I drunk and just tossed out?”

“Pretty much.”

Selah Ellison Immortal Lord laughed: “You drank with Nico Weaver all night, by the time it ended, it was daytime. He handed you over to me to take you away. You guys talked the night away?”

Carson Flores thought for a moment, then helplessly shook his head: “Can’t remember, feels like we talked about everything, yet I can’t recall specifics…”

“Selling yourself without even realizing it?”

Selah Ellison Immortal Lord teased before consoling: “Though I don’t know what you discussed, it’s clear he’s quite pleased with you. When he handed you over to me, he even told me to take good care of you, not to send you back missing an arm or leg…”

Carson Flores said with a face of resignation: “Well, older is wiser; this is the future father-in-law testing the son-in-law with alcohol, seeing character through drinking habits!”

Selah Ellison Immortal Lord walked behind Carson Flores, placing both hands on his temples, gently massaging him.

“Feeling bad? Want to find a place to sleep a bit more?”

Carson Flores closed his eyes, reveling in the gentle service from Selah Ellison Immortal Lord, and replied with a smile: “No need for that, I’m mostly awake now, just need a moment to recover. Where are we headed now, straight to the Heavenly Demon Continent?”

Selah Ellison Immortal Lord smiled: “Yeah, there’s nothing else to do, but if you have anything else, I can accompany you.”

Carson Flores said with a smile: “Once we’re at the Heavenly Demon Continent, I’d like to visit the White Crane Immortal Sect on the way back, it’s been years out here should return for a look. Though I joined the White Crane Immortal Sect, I haven’t spent much time within it.”

Selah Ellison Immortal Lord smiled softly: “Alright!”

Carson Flores turned back and saw Selah Ellison Immortal Lord’s gentle eyes, he couldn’t help but say: “Never seen you so tender before…”

Selah Ellison Immortal Lord chuckled: “Because before you weren’t my man.”
