The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2235: Chapter 2235: The True Purpose of Pioneering

Carson Flores’s head was filled with question marks.

Do you all really play this wild and unconventionally?

Sitting on one while chanting another’s name?

I thought as cultivators, we’d be all pure-hearted and free from desire. This is really breaking my understanding of the world.

At this point, Carson couldn’t just ignore it; he retracted his hand from the woman’s chest and said in a deep voice, ”Isn’t Uncle Zhou looking for me? Let’s go over, so we don’t waste time and make him unhappy.”

Icy Watson chuckled lightly, ”Uncle Zhou wasn’t looking for you at all. I just made up a reason on the spot.”

Carson frowned, ”Why?”

Icy Watson explained with a smile, ”I noticed you looked unhappy, so I found an excuse to call you out. Didn’t you say you didn’t actually like being with Brother Gabriel?”

Carson was speechless. I’m just posing as someone else to sneak into the Secret Realm, why is it so difficult?

These relationships between men and women, what does it have to do with me!

I shouldn’t have chosen to impersonate Gabriel Lozano and Kyson Howell, now I’m stuck in this ridiculous tangle of messy relationships, making everything awkward.

Carson feigned anger, ”Is this something to joke about? It’s reckless!”

Icy Watson wasn’t fazed at all, her small hand gently slid across Carson’s chest, her words soft and sweet with an inexplicable allure.

”I just didn’t want you to misunderstand—my heart is true to you, yet you say I’m being cavalier...”

Carson felt helpless and softened his expression, speaking gently, ”We’re about to enter the Secret Realm, and I’m a bit anxious, so my words were harsh. Don’t blame me.”

Icy Watson laughed coyly, ”I’m not blaming you at all, and I’ve already thought ahead for you. Here, this is a sensing talisman. As long as you keep it on you, you can sense where my grandfather is. Once you meet up with him, with his strength, he’ll surely keep you safe and you’ll return unharmed.”

Carson scoffed, ”You just told Brother Gabriel the same thing!”

Icy Watson pouted, ”How can it be the same? Brother Gabriel has connections. I’m just being considerate—if he doesn’t rely on me, he’ll rely on someone else and get through anyway, so helping him is just business. But you’re different; I’ll take care of everything for you.”

Carson truly had his eyes opened today.

A simple infiltration plan had introduced him to such an ”extraordinary woman.”

Originally, Carson just wanted to detach from the situation, but hearing her say this, he became interested.

Isn’t this a chance to learn more inside secrets?

Carson feigned hesitation and whispered, ”Our relationship... is this appropriate?”

Icy Watson leaned into Carson’s embrace, lifted her head, and gave Carson a kiss, ”What’s not appropriate? You’re my man; it’s just natural for my family to take care of you.”

Carson responded, ”I’ll do as you say, but I heard this Secret Realm is really dangerous, with lots of vicious magical beasts...”

Icy Watson replied nonchalantly, ”Yes, several Profound Immortals from our sect have died. If you encounter magical beasts, don’t fight them head-on. Just avoid them—their territorial awareness is very strong. If you detour around them, they most likely won’t attack you.”

”As long as you meet up with my grandfather and the others, he’ll handle the rest. Don’t worry; I’m his favorite, and he’ll definitely protect you.”

Carson nodded and continued to ask, ”With such a large-scale exploration of the Secret Realm, there might be significant casualties. Surely, Mount Lingmiao and the White Magpie Sect won’t let us explore freely?”

Icy Watson laughed, ”That’s something for the top brass to consider; it has nothing to do with us. We just need to take care of ourselves in the Secret Realm. It’s dangerous, and magical beasts are plentiful and strong, but as long as we stay with the sect’s powerhouses, we’ll be safe.”

Carson acknowledged this, carefully probing further, ”Isn’t there word that a Harmony Spring was discovered? What’s being said about it now?”

Icy Watson pouted, ”What’s there to say? Just search for it. The Harmony Spring is wondrous, but it’s only useful to some special people. For normal cultivators, it doesn’t have much significance.”

”Despite the Harmony Spring’s wonder, it’s not the focus of this exploration. Do you know what the focus is?”

Carson feigned ignorance, ”What?”

Icy Watson smiled charmingly, stretched out her hands, wrapped them around Carson’s neck, and pouted, ”A kiss.”

Kiss my foot!

Carson internally grumbled, but in this situation, there was no alternative unless he didn’t want to hear what Icy Watson had to say next.

If you want to listen, you have to kiss!

Carson wasn’t someone with outdated thoughts—it’s just a kiss, and this woman is so beautiful, fresh as ripe peaches. A kiss is a win for me, right?

Carson stepped back, bent his head slightly, and kissed Icy Watson on the lips.

Icy Watson hugged Carson’s neck and kissed him actively, but Carson dared not let loose, as kissing is something common between lovers and hard to imitate.

It’s tough to conceal oneself in front of a woman.

Carson kissed perfunctorily a few times, then straightened up under Icy Watson’s dissatisfied gaze, ”Now tell me, what’s the focus?”

Icy Watson glared at Carson, dissatisfied, ”You men are all liars. You proclaim love for me, say you’d do anything for me, but when it comes to getting information, you’re not serious about even a kiss. It felt so half-hearted, with no feeling at all...”

Carson was a bit annoyed.

Looking for trouble, huh?

You want a kiss with feeling?

Carson threw caution to the wind, grabbed Icy Watson, and kissed her deeply.

When Carson eventually pulled away from Icy Watson, her entire face was flushed, her eyes dreamy, and her soft body limp like noodles in Carson’s arms.

Icy Watson panted, leaning on Carson, finally opening her eyes after a while, staring at Carson, her eyes like water, ”Honey, let’s change locations.”

Carson stayed firm, ”We’re about to enter the Secret Realm. Let’s wait until we’re back safe and sound. Thinking about it constantly isn’t good either...”

Icy Watson gave Carson a sidelong glance, ”Hmph, men!”

Carson didn’t respond, just stared at her.

Icy Watson knew one should have limits when stringing along a man, or it could incite a man’s resentment and resistance.

Icy Watson leaned against Carson’s embrace, drawing circles on his chest with her finger, speaking softly, ”My grandfather told me this large-scale exploration of the Secret Realm is due to the discovery of the Void Lotus Grass in the realm...”

Carson furrowed his brows, ”What’s that?”

Icy Watson whispered, ”A magical herb that ignores bottlenecks and assists in breakthroughs. Most importantly, it’s effective for Great Land Venerables too. Don’t you think it’s precious?”
