The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 657: Chapter 657: Do you want to join us?_1

”Yes, my name is Carson Flores, I just entered the Blessed Land of Cave Heavens from the outside not long ago; currently, I live at Flying Waterfall Mountain Peak.”

When Carson Flores had a conflict with Katherine Reid earlier, Killian Jaramillo hadn’t arrived at the scene yet, so it was normal for her not to know him.

Killian Jaramillo’s eyes immediately showed surprise, ”I haven’t been outside yet; how is it?”

Carson Flores smiled and said, ”To ordinary people, the outside might be better, after all, technology is more advanced and life is more comfortable and convenient. For example, for transportation, there are cars and airplanes that can cover thousands of miles in a day, there’s air conditioning to cool down when it’s hot, and heating to warm up when it’s cold, so you don’t have to endure extreme heat or cold. At home, if you want to eat, just lift a finger to make a phone call and food can be delivered to your door...”

”Of course, for cultivators, naturally, the Blessed Land of Cave Heavens is more suitable, after all, there is a scarcity of Spiritual Energy outside, and even those in the Golden Core Realm or Nascent Soul might find it difficult to display their full strength, even the simplest form of Sword Flight can be hard to achieve.”

Killian Jaramillo nodded gently without asking further.

She was actually very curious about the ordinary life Carson Flores described – she wanted to know how ordinary people could travel thousands of miles in a day, and was eager to find out what air conditioning and heating were, as the Nutwood Heavenly Cave had been sealed for two hundred years, and everyone’s knowledge of the outside world was still from two hundred years ago.

But since it was the first time Killian Jaramillo and Carson Flores had met, their relationship clearly wasn’t at the point where she could ask casually; naturally, she would not do anything annoying.

”Are you at the Golden Core Realm?”

Carson Flores answered frankly, ”Yes, I just entered the Golden Core Realm not long ago.”

Killian Jaramillo nodded, ”The celestial and earthly treasures of the Profound Ice Mountains are not very plentiful; what are you doing here?”

Carson Flores smiled, ”This is also my first time entering a Secret Realm. I saw that there were ice-bound mountains here, got curious, and came to have a look. After all, whether it’s celestial materials or earthly treasures, it’s all about luck, right? With good luck, you can find them anywhere; with bad luck, you won’t encounter them no matter where you search.”

Killian Jaramillo’s face revealed a smile, ”That is true. Cultivators pay more attention to luck; those who achieve great success are mostly those blessed with good fortune... I came here to hunt a Snow Dragon Leopard, to obtain two of its Fanged Teeth to forge a magic artifact, but I didn’t expect to be so lucky. I had just flown in and ran straight into the Snow Dragon Leopard King...”

Carson Flores thought for a moment, took out a pair of Snow Dragon Leopard Fanged Teeth from his Space Ring, and placed them in front of Killian Jaramillo.

”I happen to have these, take them as a gift, and no need to take risks. If you run into the Snow Dragon Leopard King again, you might not be as lucky as the last time...”

Killian Jaramillo looked at the Fanged Teeth in surprise, ”Did you kill the Snow Dragon Leopard?”

Carson Flores nodded, ”Yes, it wasn’t very difficult.”

Killian Jaramillo thought for a moment, then declined, ”You saved my life; I haven’t repaid you yet, how can I take something else from you? These teeth are quite valuable...”

Carson Flores smiled and said, ”If you go after the teeth and run into the Snow Dragon Leopard King again, then my effort would have been in vain, right? Take the teeth, and later you can pay me the equivalent in Spirit Stones, just think of it as a purchase from me; is that okay?”

Seeing Carson Flores say this, Killian Jaramillo no longer refused. After all, she was still somewhat shaken.

She was in the Golden Core Late Stage, with formidable combat power, but the cold breath of the Snow Dragon Leopard King somewhat restrained her Flying Sword, hindering her from fully unleashing her strength, as if facing her bane.

Honestly, she was also concerned that continuing to circle in these snow mountains could lead to another encounter with the Snow Dragon Leopard King. As Carson Flores said, the next time, she might not be so lucky.

”Alright, then I’ll accept them for now and will compensate you with Spirit Stones once I get back.”

After agreeing to this, Killian Jaramillo thought that since Carson Flores was new here, he probably didn’t have much, so when the time came, she would definitely give him an ample amount of Spirit Stones as a gesture of thanks. As for repaying the life-saving favor, she would find another opportunity in the future; after all, no matter what magic treasure or how many Spirit Stones, none could compare with her own life.

After seeing Killian Jaramillo accept the Snow Dragon Leopard Fanged Teeth, Carson Flores asked, ”How’s your recovery so far?”

”It’s no longer a big problem now; your medical skills are amazing!”

What’s truly amazing is not my medical skills, but the Life Essence Pearl!

Carson Flores muttered to himself, skipping over this topic, and smiled, ”What are your plans next?”

Killian Jaramillo smiled, ”Planning to go ahead and see. Do you want to come along?”

The Life Essence Pearl and Water-Fire Mirror mustn’t be exposed. Traveling together with Killian Jaramillo could risk exposure; though her decision to turn and fight on his behalf had proven her integrity, they were, all said and done, not acquainted, and Carson Flores wouldn’t bet his safety on the reliability of a stranger’s character.

”Let’s not travel together; I don’t dare go too deep. I’ll just wander around the outskirts a bit and see if I can come across any celestial materials or earthly treasures.”

Killian Jaramillo smiled faintly, feeling an inexplicable increase in her favorable impression of Carson Flores.

”Alright, then take care of yourself.”

Carson Flores nodded, then suddenly remembered something and asked, ”There aren’t any time restrictions for entering the Secret Realm, are there?”
