The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Of course, Nerisse Blaine wouldn’t travel with Carson Flores; Carson was just making a joke.

Nereida Nash, however, was confused.

As one of the Three Goddesses, she naturally knew of Niall Sinclair, and though curious at heart, she didn’t inquire further.

Carson summoned the Ethereal Pagoda and placed Nereida Nash inside, smiling wryly: ”I’m sorry, this originally wonderful dinner was ruined by Avidan Hartman. We can’t finish this meal, so let’s just keep the tab open, and next time we meet, I’ll treat you and make up for today.”

Nerisse Blaine knew Carson was preparing to flee for his life. After all, with Avidan Hartman’s furious exit, who knew if he’d soon gather countless strong allies to hunt them down again?

Perhaps he’d even bring a Quasi-Saint, in which case everyone would be in serious trouble.

”Alright, it’s a deal!”

There was no need to say much, as the two understood each other well. Hence, Carson didn’t waste words and cupped his hands: ”Farewell, Theo, let’s go!”

Nerisse Blaine watched Carson’s disappearing figure, a complex emotion in her eyes.

”You rescued Niall Sinclair from the Abyssal Sect, saved my life twice on Immortal Gathering Island, and by a twist of fate, also saved Nereida Nash—one of the Three Goddesses of the Northern Sea—you saved them all...”

”Niall Sinclair is probably already your woman, and with how Nereida Nash looks at you, she’s likely in love with you, unable to leave you. Truly, if I took the initiative, wouldn’t that be complete?”

Nerisse Blaine thought to herself, finding the thought amusing.

”If that was the case, wouldn’t that make you blissfully happy?”

After laughing, Nerisse Blaine fell silent, eventually sighing.

”Until we meet again, who knows what we’ll be like then...”

Nerisse Blaine flew off, heading in another direction, soon disappearing into the horizon.

...

This time, Carson did not linger and headed straight to Eastern Radiance.

Passing through Eastern Radiance, Carson began the long journey home.

Years of travel later, Carson returned to the Thunder Immortal Realm.

He visited the Celestial Palace, handing over the letters once delivered by Nico Weaver and Alfred Weaver to the current Master of the Immortal Palace.

Watching the current master greet him with extreme respect, cautiously inquiring about the Great Land Supreme, Carson felt a mix of emotions.

Back then, in front of the Celestial Palace, he was merely a small figure. Now, everything had changed; it was truly a case of thirty years river east, thirty years river west.

Leaving the Celestial Palace, Carson journeyed on, visiting the senior brothers and sisters of Nutwood Mountain.

He met the eldest brother, Benson Bernard, and the second brother, Elijah White. Their cultivation hadn’t advanced as quickly as Carson’s, but they were still disciples under key development within the sect, with bright prospects ahead.

Carson gifted them top-tier cultivation techniques, which, though not ultimate, were significantly better than what they had been practicing, greatly accelerating their cultivation speed.

Carson then traveled to the Divine Sword Sect on the White Feather Continent, but he didn’t meet his third senior sister, Delaney Hunter, who was said to have been traveling for years.

Carson felt a pang of regret, as he most wished to see his third senior sister.

Ultimately, Carson returned to the Skyland Continent and the White Crane Immortal Sect.

He stayed at the White Crane Immortal Sect for three months, guiding the senior brothers and gifted nephews, leaving behind many treasures before finally leaving the White Crane Immortal Sect and heading to the Ascension Passage of the Barbaric Wilderness Realm, descending to the Barbarian Wilderness.

Along the way, Carson felt as if time had turned back, with many old friends who had drifted apart reappearing before him.

This feeling was both familiar and strange, yet undeniably, regardless of past relations, now they seemed like people from two different worlds, making it hard to interact as before.

Carson finally returned to the secluded place he found for his mother and others.

When Carson and Westin Flores appeared before Lucy Frost, she was stunned, and then her eyes reddened, tears silently streaming down.

Westin stepped forward to embrace Lucy, while Carson silently retreated, leaving the moment to them.

Finally, the family reunited!

Since Carson’s birth, through countless wanderings across unknown worlds, the family of three could finally sit at the table, united.

Also present were Aunt Leah Frost, Shirley Miller’s grandfather, friends like Lilly Compton, and others; with the protection of the White Crane Immortal Sect, their cultivation flourished. Despite varying rates of improvement, their lifespans were greatly extended.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the entire family could happily live together for hundreds, even thousands of years, or even longer.

Seeing his family’s smiles, Carson felt content and then inevitably began to long for Shirley Miller and others.

He wondered how they were now, had their journey been smooth?

Had they reached the Crimson Immortal Domain?

Here lay his father, his family, his large family, but where Shirley Miller and others were, was his small family.

He wished he could be like the True Sage Grand Void, spanning the void, arriving in an instant; that would be wonderful!
