The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2164: Chapter 2164: Why Did You Save Me?

At this moment, Ben Singleton felt completely relaxed and calm.

Great revenge was avenged, and the obsession was finally gone!

”Didn’t you deceive everyone too?”

Carson Flores laughed, ”That’s true, so let’s call it even, and not point fingers... Let’s talk about the current situation; you’re quite seriously injured.”

Ben Singleton nodded, without any fear of death in his eyes, ”I first used the Undying Domain and then endured the vicious backlash. After that, I was injured by the Otherworldly Space, and my body is on the verge of collapse; I estimate I won’t survive.”

”Before death, being able to see Tatum Howard’s demise has already satisfied me. I owe you a huge debt of gratitude, and since I’m about to die, there’s no way to repay you. My Space Ring is yours, including my cultivation techniques for the Divine Skill Free Wanderer, as a token of thanks.”

Carson Flores frowned and asked, ”You’re at least a Great Land Prime Immortal, and you’re not dead yet. Is there no way to heal yourself?”

Ben Singleton replied, ”Even a Great Land Prime Immortal is not almighty. My body was already slowly losing life force during a long period of dormancy. Although I forcibly awakened using many Immortals’ Essence Blood and partially recovered, I am now severely injured again, causing my life force to be cut off entirely. I’m just hanging by a thread, waiting for death.”

Carson Flores pressed on, ”Is there really no way?”

Life force cut off?

Carson Flores pondered, then took out the Life Essence Pearl, ”The Life Essence Pearl can convert Spiritual Energy into life force. Give it a try and see if it’s effective.”

Carson Flores placed the Life Essence Pearl on Ben Singleton’s chest and infused it with thick Spiritual Power. Immediately, a large amount of life force poured into Ben Singleton’s body from the pearl.

Ben Singleton’s battered body slowly began to repair under the dense life force. The damaged areas inside his body also started to react, but the speed was exceptionally slow.

The Life Essence Pearl is very effective for low-level cultivators, but for a body that has reached the extreme heights of a Great Land Sovereign, the efficacy is very minimal. However, any effect is better than none.

Ben Singleton, feeling the changes in his body, looked surprised, ”This is indeed a good treasure.”

Carson Flores looked up at Ben Singleton and asked, ”How is it? Can it save you?”

Ben Singleton felt it and shook his head slowly, ”It cannot save my life, but with it, I can prolong my life a bit longer.”

Carson Flores frowned, ”Even this can’t save you?”

Ben Singleton explained, ”My body’s life force is cut off, like a withered tree. Besides life force, it needs miraculous energy to come back to life. Although the Life Essence Pearl can provide some life force to keep me alive, it’s not enough to restore my body to normal.”

Carson Flores nodded, ”As long as there’s life, there’s hope. You should know what can provide the miraculous energy for a withered tree to spring to life, right?”

Ben Singleton answered, ”The waters of the Harmony Spring. Harmony Spring can connect life and death, possessing miraculous capabilities. A large amount of Harmony Spring water, soaking my body, can revive it, but Harmony Spring is a legend, and no one has seen it...”

Carson Flores tilted his head to look at the others, ”Have you heard of Harmony Spring?”

Sergio Wilkins and the others all shook their heads. Delarosa pondered for a moment, ”I’ve heard of it, but only in legends, never seen.”

Carson Flores smiled, ”Since there are legends, maybe it really exists. If there’s hope, then hang on and strive to live on. After all, as long as you’re alive, anything is possible!”

Ben Singleton slightly smiled, ”As long as I’m alive, no one has to die. At the brink of death, I’ve encountered a unique treasure like the Life Essence Pearl that can happen to save my life. Maybe it is the heavens that have shown me mercy, giving me a lifeline.”

Carson Flores patted the Life Essence Pearl and asked, ”How should it be used for better effectiveness?”

Ben Singleton glanced down at the Life Essence Pearl placed over his heart and said in a low voice, ”Cut open my chest and place it into my heart. Then it can continuously absorb Spiritual Energy, converting it into life force, sustaining my life. However, after placing it, some changes may occur, and I can’t guarantee it will return to you untouched...”

Carson Flores smiled without saying anything, using his finger like a knife to cut open Ben Singleton’s chest, then reaching in to cut his heart open and inserting the Life Essence Pearl.

Ben Singleton’s heart quickly enveloped the Life Essence Pearl, absorbing a large amount of Spiritual Energy, which converted into thick life force. With the heartbeat, the life force spread rapidly through the bloodstream to every part of the body.

Ben Singleton looked at Carson Flores calmly and asked, ”Why do you want to save me?”

Carson Flores laughed, ”We were teammates before, after all. And besides, I just wanted to save you. Why would I need a reason?”

Ben Singleton stated calmly, ”I’m useless now, can’t even fight, and won’t be able to help you much.”

Carson Flores answered frankly, ”I’m a doctor, though I don’t know how to save you; I can somewhat assess your injuries, so I never expected you to help me.”

After a pause, Carson Flores added, ”If there has to be a reason, perhaps it’s because I admire you.”

Ben Singleton frowned, ”Admire?”

Carson Flores nodded, ”Your body revived, and logically, as long as you leave the Heavenly River Secret Realm, you could live better. But you were willing to die, to perish together with Tatum Howard, just to avenge those you care about. As a Great Land Prime Immortal with endless life, walking voluntarily to death isn’t something anyone can do.”

Ben Singleton stared at Carson Flores, then calmly nodded after a while, ”Understood. But endless life might not be as interesting as it seems. Living for too long, it’s actually quite boring.”

Carson Flores laughed softly, ”I don’t know how old you are, but I’ve only lived a few decades. I still have so much excitement yet to experience; I’m full of hope and anticipation for life.”

Ben Singleton looked at Carson Flores in surprise, ”A few decades? You’re only a few decades old?”

Carson Flores nodded, ”Yeah.”

Ben Singleton laughed, ”You have quite the talent.”

Carson Flores shook his head, ”My talent is quite average; perhaps I’m just a little lucky!”

Ben Singleton raised his hand, suddenly holding a Jade Slip in his palm.

”This is the cultivation technique for Xiaoyao Xing. You can study it if you have time. Even though you haven’t yet reached the Great Land Supreme, you have the Divine Skills of a bloodline clone, so you might be able to comprehend it early.”

”Even if you can’t comprehend it now, with your aptitude, stepping into the Great Land is inevitable. Once you’re there, you can slowly cultivate. As long as you master Xiaoyao Xing, even if you encounter powerful enemies, you can at least escape if you can’t defeat them.”

Without hesitation, Carson Flores accepted the Jade Slip and smiled, ”You’re right about that. I’m not that strong in combat, but I’m very good at escaping. And coincidentally, my movement technique is called the Ground Shrinking Technique, which also involves space movement...”
