The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 700: Chapter 700: Senior Sister, Shall I Give It a Try?_1

The Flying Boat rode the wind, with the Snow Dragon Leopard King closely following at its side.

”You are quite capable, managing to befriend a Nascent Soul beast while being at the Golden Core Stage yourself, and even having it willingly follow you...”

Carson Flores chuckled, recounting the events with Alex Austin, ”I just got lucky, if it couldn’t understand human speech, or if Senior Alex hadn’t tempered its ferocity, I wouldn’t have stood a chance afterward.”

Delaney Hunter laughed, ”It’s difficult to change the fierce nature of adult demon beasts, making them hard to tame. Professional beast tamers usually domesticate young beasts or breed them themselves. To tame an adult demon beast, one generally needs overwhelming strength and a great deal of patience, but if the strength is truly overwhelming, then what’s the point of taming it?”

”If it’s not for fighting, it can still be used to show off,” Carson said jokingly. ”Imagine hitching a Phoenix to a cart, or, more impressively, having Nine Dragons pull the cart—that’d turn heads!”

Delaney Hunter smiled, ”The stronger the demon beast, the higher its intelligence. After reaching the Transformation Phase, they can even transform into human form. To some extent, as long as your strength is sufficient, it’s easier to subdue a demon beast in the Transformation Phase. After all, they’re intelligent enough to communicate and make rational judgments.”

The Flying Boat traced the edge of the Secret Realm, flying for two days until the terrain suddenly narrowed, and a huge light curtain stretched across the sky, like an invisible wall between heaven and earth.

The Flying Boat didn’t halt for a moment, bursting through it and leaving the wall behind in an instant.

”This is the boundary between the Secret Realm and the Barbaric Wilderness Realm, right?”

Delaney Hunter nodded, ”Yes, it’s a Formation barrier that can block outsiders and demon beasts from entering the Secret Realm. Those who aren’t from Nutwood Cave Master’s territory must go to a nearby defensive point and get permission before they can enter.”

Three people and one beast traveled for two days and arrived at White Wave City.

The first thing that caught their eyes was a fence made of round logs, extending endlessly and enclosing White Wave City.

Within the log fence lay fertile land planted with vast swathes of crops, interspersed with villages. Several dozen miles further in, they saw a stone wall at least twenty meters high, seeming incredibly sturdy.

Behind the city wall lay the real White Wave City.

A Formation’s light screen enveloped the entire city. Delaney Hunter took out a Token; when the Token flew up and touched the light screen, ripples spread, revealing an entrance. After the Flying Boat entered, the light screen closed up again.

White Wave City was built against a mountain, and the Flying Boat flew directly to the City Lord’s Mansion atop the peak.

”City Lord!”

They had just landed on the expansive square of the City Lord’s Mansion when the guarding Disciples greeted them with surprise, and others swiftly went back to report their arrival.

”A Spirit Rhinoceros Storm every ten years, it has been over a decade since I last came here.”

Carson Flores casually asked, ”Then who has been overseeing the daily affairs here?”

”Hector Tate, a Disciple from Flying Waterfall Mountain Peak, at the Mid-Nascent Soul stage, a resident of the Number Three Cave Dwelling. He’s a steady and reliable person, and usually it’s him who sits in the City Lord’s Mansion, managing this place on my behalf. After all, you know I dislike worldly affairs, especially dealing with these matters...”

Just as the three of them entered the City Lord’s Mansion, a middle-aged man quickly came out. Seeing Delaney Hunter, his face showed joy, and from a distance, he respectfully bowed.

”My lord!”

Delaney Hunter nodded and entered the City Lord’s Mansion, ”Let’s talk inside.”

In the great hall of the City Lord’s Mansion, Delaney Hunter sat in the City Lord’s chair and spoke calmly, ”Tell me, what exactly happened?”

Hector Tate’s face showed anger, ”Soul Shock City has long coveted our black gold mine. In the past two years, a Spirit Transformation Expert has been stationed in Soul Shock City, making them much more aggressive. We’ve had numerous conflicts. Due to the Spirit Rhinoceros Storm sealing off the Secret Realm and cutting off communication, I tried to avoid escalation by giving in on many occasions. But unexpectedly, they launched a surprise attack on the black gold mine and occupied it...”

Delaney Hunter nodded, ”What are our casualties?”

Clenching his teeth, Hector Tate said, ”We usually have teams of twenty on rotation at the mine. They came prepared with many experts; our people couldn’t hold them off. Two died, five are severely injured, and all the rest are wounded.”

After a pause, Hector Tate added, ”My daughter was the vice-captain of the squad on duty that day, and she was severely injured in the battle, her life hanging by a thread...”

Delaney Hunter’s expression changed, ”Qianqian?”

Hector Tate’s eyes suddenly reddened, and he stood up to bow deeply, his expression mournful, ”I have tried everything yet still can’t heal her. I beg you, my lord, for the sake of my years of hard work, to lend your help.”

Delaney Hunter frowned, ”Yuanjie, you know that I’m not skilled in medicine, but I promise you, I will find a way and spare no expense to save Qianqian... Let’s go see her now.”

Hector Tate bowed gratefully, ”Thank you, my lord!”

He knew well that Delaney Hunter wasn’t adept at medicine, but as the City Lord and a Disciple of the Nutwood Mountain Cave Master, her influence was much greater. At most, he was the administrator of White Wave City, similar to a steward, how could his status compare?

Having sat quietly by Delaney Hunter’s side, Carson Flores stood up, ”Sister, I’ll come too, to see if I can be of any help...”
