The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1207: Chapter 1207: Is Your Maiden’s Residence So Destitute?

”Her Majesty has arrived!”

With that resounding voice, members of the Demon Race parted like a tide to clear the path.

Westin Flores, once a disciple of Kahdas, now the Demon Emperor, walked unhurriedly from the far end of the road.

Behind the Demon Emperor followed a young woman in her twenties. She was quite pretty, but her body exuded an intense aura of malevolence.

Lilianna Norman had shared with Carson Flores the current multitude of information about the Demon Race, so Carson recognized the woman’s identity at a glance.

Demon Ancestor!

She had possessed the body of one with a Demon Spirit Body from her own clan and had been reborn, but her strength had been greatly limited due to the possession and rebirth, reportedly now only at the level of a Great Demon.

Because of her unique status, the Demon Emperor treated her with great respect, practically as an equal. Her position was evident by walking beside the Demon Emperor.

Westin’s demeanor had changed significantly from when Carson first met him. His gaze was profound as if harboring the stars and the sea within his eyes, his expression serious, exuding a substantial and commanding presence that made others dare not look him directly in the eyes.

Carson took a quick glance from afar and then promptly bowed his head, not daring to look further. Who knew whether Westin would sense something amiss with his unique abilities?

Carson’s current identity was that of a slave to the Saintess, so a respectful and cautious demeanor was the most appropriate.

The Demon Emperor made his way forward and then turned back to sweep his gaze over everyone.

”The Emperor’s Secret Realm is the forge for the Demon Race’s elite, a place for improvement. It has been ten thousand years since the last opening, and all manner of dangers may lie within, so everyone must be careful and cautious.”

The Demon Emperor didn’t speak much further, offering a few words of encouragement to the crowd before turning to walk toward an empty space upfront.

Spiritual Energy surged around the Demon Emperor, and an ancient-looking bead rose, shining brilliantly with white light, and remained suspended in mid-air.

The second bead...

The third bead...

The beads, one after the other, flew into the sky, eventually forming a vast circle. Countless rays of white light converged and intertwined, eventually giving birth to a sea of white light that tore open a Light Gate.

The entrance to the Imperial Secret Realm.

The Demon Emperor’s face turned slightly pale. Even with his immense power, opening the entrance to the Secret Realm alone was taxing, but there was no choice; he had to do it himself.

”The entrance is open. The Secret Realm’s doors will remain open for ten days and will close thereafter. Everyone will be expelled from the realm at that time, so manage your time wisely.”

”Go ahead.”

The exploration of the Imperial Secret Realm had been clearly declared, and the individuals chosen by the various forces had long been determined, so at this moment, everyone entered the Light Gate in an orderly manner without hesitation.

While Carson waited, the Demon Ancestor, who had been standing beside the Demon Emperor, walked over and stopped in front of Lilianna Norman.

”Is the Maiden’s Residence so destitute that you don’t have a single worthy follower, and you’ve only brought a slave...”

Following the Demon Ancestor’s remark, countless gazes suddenly fell on Lilianna Norman’s face, and many on Carson, including the Demon Emperor!

Even though Carson was daring, he couldn’t help feeling a little nervous. He was like a Husky among a pack of wolves; if his identity were exposed, that would spell trouble.

Because of reasons concerning the Demon Race, the Great Witch, and the Demon Emperor, Cristopher Hopkins had not followed him, and Ghost Tower was also watching over him from a distance. They dared not follow into the Secret Realm, fearing detection, so they kept their distance.

Nalan had a cold expression: ”I’m accustomed to coming and going alone. Having a slave is sufficient. What about you, Great Lady Demon Ancestor, planning to join the imperial guards?”

The Demon Ancestor smiled charmingly: ”What a coincidence; I, too, prefer solitude. So, I’ll be entering alone, and we might even meet within the Secret Realm. Then, I can properly experience your ’Tide of the Azure Sea’...”

Lilianna Norman coldly responded, ”I look forward to your guidance at that time.”

The Demon Ancestor’s gaze suddenly turned colder, eyes profound: ”It’s a deal.”

Listening to the tense exchange between the Demon Ancestor and Lilianna Norman, Carson was inwardly shocked. The conflict was so apparent it could be openly discussed?

Whether it was the Demon Emperor or the other Great Demons, none intervened or offered counsel; instead, they seemed almost expectant.

Did the Demon Race, who revered strength, also want to see who was stronger between the reincarnated Demon Ancestor and the Saintess with the Innate Taoist Body?

The Demon Ancestor’s glance swept over Carson briefly, not lingering, for in her and all other ancestors’ eyes, a slave was but cannon fodder, hardly worth noting.

As the Demon Ancestor stepped through the Light Gate, everyone else’s gaze shifted away, and Carson finally breathed a sigh of relief internally.

It seemed Lilianna Norman’s disguise was reliable; no one suspected him.

”Let’s go!”

Lilianna Norman produced a talismanic band and wrapped it around Carson, preventing them from being separated during transportation.

Both stepped into the Light Gate together, and as their vision blurred, the scenery before them drastically changed.

Carson looked around and breathed a sigh of relief.

They had entered!
