The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2453: Chapter 2453: If You Can’t Win, Call for Backup

”Goddess of Dawn Light?”

Carson Flores and his companions all had puzzled expressions; evidently, none of them had heard this name before.

Draelor Loxley explained, ”Nereida Nash from Immortal Gathering Island, Nerisse Blaine the Saintess of Separation Sea Sect, and Cassiane Sinclair of Abyssal Sect are so beautiful they make countless male cultivators go crazy for them. They’re collectively known as the Three Goddesses of the Northern Sea.”

”Legend has it that when men see them, they’re so captivated that they can’t move, their beauty is just unreal...”

Carson Flores chuckled, ”Did they cultivate some special technique? No matter how beautiful a woman is, how much more stunning can she be? Cultivators are supposed to focus on cultivating the heart, not just standing still like mortals at the sight of beautiful women.”

Draelor Loxley gave a wry smile, ”I haven’t seen them myself; everyone spreads these tales, which makes me want to see for myself. Right now, as a mere mortal, I don’t dare to go. If anyone dislikes me, a single glance could kill me...”

After pausing, Draelor Loxley warned, ”Most cultivators in the North Sea know about Immortal Gathering Island, and many have participated in its events. Just ask around, and you’ll see I’m not lying to you.”

Floating Cloud glanced at the Convoker Token in his hand and casually tossed it to Carson Flores, ”As for beauties, I, being an old Taoist, am not interested. If you’re interested as a young man, go take a look.”

Carson Flores caught the Convoker Token and laughed, ”Their invitations must come with irresistible offers, high enough that people can’t refuse. Aren’t you afraid I’ll be recruited away, mentor?”

Floating Cloud laughed, ”If you’re willing to leave your lovely wife behind, as your mentor, I have no objections.”

Carson Flores chuckled and looked at the Convoker Token in his hand.

Metal-crafted, engraved with patterns, containing formations, outwardly looking very proper.

”It happens every five hundred years, how long until it opens next time?”

Daryth Loxley replied, ”Supposedly a few more years, but not exactly sure. When Immortal Gathering Island is about to open, the Convoker Token will react and guide its owner to the island. You just need to keep an eye on it occasionally.”

Carson Flores nodded, ”This Convoker Token is so valuable, you might as well sell it. Why give it to us?”

Daryth Loxley laughed, ”Keeping it with me might be a curse. Even if I sold it, it might bring harm. Since it’s useless to keep, I’m giving it to you. As I said, it’s a gesture.”

Carson Flores looked at Daryth Loxley, smiled, ”Alright, we’ll take it. Thanks!”

Daryth Loxley cupped his hands, ”Everyone, farewell!”

Daryth Loxley departed freely, Carson Flores remarked, ”He seems quite open-minded...”

Floating Cloud commented, ”He was originally a loose cultivator, not necessarily a bad person, forced to commit various crimes by Ghost True Sage, step by step toward death. Even though he’s lost cultivation, he’s regained freedom, a gain in itself.”

Flowing Cloud withdrew his gaze from Daryth Loxley’s departing figure and laughed, ”Alright, although perilous, this journey has been worthwhile. Our senior brother and Profound River have healed from their wounds, we’ve resolved Ghost True Sage’s threat, and we’ve gained so many cultivation resources, it’s a perfect ending. We can go home.”

Carson Flores laughed, ”I need to accomplish a private matter first, so I’ll temporarily not return with everyone.”

Lorvian Randall’s request to Carson Flores had been pressing; though delayed for months in the Secret Realm, fortunately, there’s still time.

Floating Cloud glanced at Carson Flores, ”Come with me.”

They reached a secluded spot where Floating Cloud cast a Soundproof Spell before asking, ”Have you met her?”

Thyris Lucerne had seen Carson Flores three times: in the Roulette Secret Realm, at the camp lodging, and when surrendering the Phoenix Fire Spirit. These meetings were known only to Carson Flores and Delarosa, unbeknownst to Floating Cloud and others.

Carson Flores nodded, ”She has some connection with Delarosa’s master. In Delarosa’s favor, she gave me a chance to prove myself.”

Floating Cloud realized, ”By your own strength, capturing the Phoenix Fire Spirit?”

Carson Flores nodded confidently, ”Yes!”

The specific relationship between Thyris Lucerne and Delarosa’s master was naturally not revealed, but such a description sufficed.

Earlier, Carson Flores had requested to act alone without detailing the reason, but Floating Cloud and others had their guesses, only confirming now.

Floating Cloud refrained from probing into the details, pondering, ”In hindsight, it seems we benefited from your fortune; otherwise, we might have been trapped inside, like Ghost True Sage or Zauren...”

Carson Flores shook his head, ”Mentor, please don’t say that. If it wasn’t for my encounter with Ghost True Sage causing trouble, we wouldn’t have ventured into the Roulette Secret Realm or been in peril.”

Floating Cloud laughed, ”I’m just expressing sentiment. As mentor and disciple, let’s not fret about these things. When you say you have a private matter, do you need me to accompany you?”

Carson Flores chuckled, ”I can’t have my mentor following me for protection. I’m just visiting someone; it’s not a big issue. Plus, if I encounter danger, I have ample tokens to request help.”

Floating Cloud laughed, ”That’s true, alright. Here’s my token, it’s unlimited in use. If you face danger and can’t handle it, call for backup...”
