The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

”Which one to choose?”

Cassiane’s main focus on this trip was companionship. No matter which task Carson Flores chose, they would work together to complete it.

Carson Flores listened in as the staff explained the tasks to everyone, and he already had a rough idea of these high-difficulty, high-reward missions.

”Prosperity City and City of Netherfire are sworn enemies. Yestin Schneider is a Superior Grade Great Land Primordial Immortal. Killing him won’t be easy. Although this bounty has the highest price tag, who would take it on? Basically, this bounty is just hanging there to disgust people. Who knows, maybe Prosperity City has a bounty on Elthar Garber as well.”

Ilvarion Arnold chuckled, ”Mutual disgust, huh?”

Carson Flores laughed, ”When their strength reaches this level, unless there’s some special magical treasure or a Quasi-Saint overwhelming level of strength, who would be confident in killing a Peak Great Land True Immortal?”

Saying this, Carson and Cassiane instinctively exchanged a glance, both thinking about the previous battle between True Sage Grand Void and Sea God. The Sea God, who possessed the Sea God’s Seal, was utterly defeated by the Quasi-Saint strength of True Sage Grand Void. This showed how vast the gap between a Peak Great Land True Immortal and a Quasi-Saint really was.

The difference in realm might be small, but the gap in strength is like night and day.

”The Snow Spirit Ice Crystal, a specialty of Ice Snow City, supposedly takes over a thousand years to produce a single one, highlighting its rarity. Ice Snow City is one of the Twelve Immortal Gates of Myriad Immortals Palace, full of powerful cultivators. Trying to get Snow Spirit Ice Crystals from them is as difficult as reaching the heavens.”

”The Dragon of Maple Mountain Range, a member of the Dragon Clan mutated by demonic qi, is said to inherently possess the strength of a Middle Grade Great Land Initial Immortal. Moreover, its demonic qi greatly reduces opponents’ combat power, so while it’s somewhat less than peak strength, its combat power is still formidable.”

Carson Flores smiled wryly, ”Every single path is biting, none of them are easy.”

Cassiane chuckled, ”If the task were easy to complete, it wouldn’t hang high on the list, ignored by everyone.”

Carson Flores laughed, ”Helping the Dark Ancestral Dragon break its shackles doesn’t seem urgent. Besides, although ten billion Spirit Stones is a lot, if enough time is spent refining alchemy, I could still eventually gather ten billion Spirit Stones. So let’s not consider dangerous tasks like slaying the City Lord or killing the Dragon; safety comes first.”

Cassiane’s eyes curved, ”So you’re choosing to collect Snow Spirit Ice Crystals?”

Carson patted Ilvarion Arnold’s shoulder beside him and laughed, ”I checked around, Snowwind City isn’t far from Ice Snow City, and Snowwind City is conveniently one of Ice Snow City’s direct subordinate towns. We can treat it as a trip, and on the way, take Ilvarion Arnold back home. I’ve heard the scenery in the Extreme Western Land is beautiful, so we might as well enjoy it.”

Cassiane pursed her lips, ”Alright!”

Ilvarion Arnold was overjoyed, ”Brother, are you taking me there deliberately?”

Carson Flores laughed, ”Isn’t this for going to Ice Snow City to find Snow Spirit Ice Crystals? It’s on the way.”

Ilvarion Arnold was very happy, ”Brother, once I find my mother, I’ll try to help you inquire about Snow Spirit Ice Crystals. My mother is in Snowwind City, she’ll surely know about it.”

Carson put his arm around Ilvarion Arnold’s shoulder and said with a smile, ”Alright, we’ll count on you then.”

Since collecting Snow Spirit Ice Crystals is a repeatable task, Carson Flores didn’t officially declare it and the three of them left the City Lord’s Mansion directly.

City of Netherfire is a large city, very bustling, with cultivators from all paths assembled, making it lively and bustling.

Carson Flores spent some Spirit Stones and finally bought a map of West Prison.

This map wasn’t thorough, only depicting powerful major cities or locations of particular interest, such as cities, mountain ranges, and lakes.

Carson’s gaze landed on the west side of the map, where he immediately saw Ice Snow City. Being one of the Twelve Immortal Gates of Myriad Immortals Palace, it was prominently marked on the map, very clear.

Apart from Ice Snow City, there’s the parallel Twelve Immortal Gates cities Malignant Dragon City and Wind-Thunder City. Ice Snow City is in the Extreme West, Malignant Dragon City is in the central region of West Prison, not far from City of Netherfire, while Wind-Thunder City lies in the south, making them quite distant from each other.

Carson’s gaze circled the map, quickly settling in place.

Black Soul City, annotated as the headquarters of the Soul Spirit Association.

Black Soul City is west of City of Netherfire, quite far, but if heading to Ice Snow City, it’s somewhat along the way.

”This route seems fraught with trouble. How about taking a ship then? We can hide in the cabin; surely no one will bother us.”

”Alright!”

After a simple discussion, the three headed to the City of Netherfire’s wharf, where hundreds of giant Flying Boats were docked.

The trio checked the Flying Boat routes and found one heading to Black Soul City, then bought three tickets.

To avoid drawing attention, Carson didn’t purchase the most luxurious suite on the top floor, but instead opted for small cabins on the middle floor. This giant ship’s middle floor had at least two hundred small cabins, and the trio disguised themselves, blending in among the passengers, becoming indistinguishable.

The Flying Boat set sail, stopping at cities along the route like a bus stop, with people disembarking and boarding.

To avoid trouble, Carson didn’t even leave his cabin, spending time sitting cross-legged, meditating and contemplating his cultivation technique.

Unaware of how much time had passed, the swiftly moving Flying Boat suddenly braked sharply, startling Carson from his meditation, as a thunderous voice boomed in his ears simultaneously.

”Malignant Dragon City is pursuing felons; everyone leave your cabin, stand at the doorway, no unauthorized movements or attempts to flee, or face death without mercy!”
