The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1929: Chapter 1929: Is It Because She’s Beautiful?

Demon hunting?

The Demon Race hunting demons?

Carson Flores’s expression became somewhat subtle. What kind of situation was this?

Lucille Austin noticed Carson’s expression and explained, ”Mr. Flores, are you puzzled? Aren’t we the Demon Race? Why would we hunt demons?”

Carson laughed, ”I am indeed a bit confused since I’ve never been to the Heavenly Demon Continent before, so I’m not familiar with the local customs. If I’ve offended, please don’t mind, Master Austin.”

Lucille smiled and waved her hand, explaining, ”There are countless members of the Demon Race on the Heavenly Demon Continent, but not every Demon Cultivator adheres to the laws of the Demon Race after gaining wisdom. Due to the nature of their species, many demons are violent, fond of slaughter, and act recklessly. Even after transforming, they remain the same.”

”If these kinds of demons live in the wilderness or deep forests, it’s one thing. But many demons continue to behave like beasts, attacking towns, killing, and looting, causing significant damage. Such demons are not accepted or tolerated.”

”Among the Human Race cultivators, there are also some degenerates who commit all sorts of evil, prompting righteous people to hunt them down. We of the Demon Race are the same, so whenever we encounter such demons disrupting order, we send people to eliminate them to ensure the normal operation of towns.”

Carson nodded in understanding, ”That’s truly unfortunate. I was just saying I wanted to catch up with an old friend while I was here.”

Lucille smiled, ”If you’re not in a hurry, you can stay at the palace. She should be back in three months at the soonest, six at the latest.”

Carson declined politely, ”We have other things to attend to and won’t be staying for now. Once our tasks are completed, I’ll come by again.”

Lucille smiled, ”If I may ask, could the Heavenly Fox Palace be of any assistance?”

Carson casually asked, ”I do want to inquire about something. Master Austin, do you know where there might be Yellow Jade Purple Cloud Grass?”

The whereabouts of the Water Scale Dragon Ape are known to Selah Ellison Immortal Lord, so now only the last main ingredient remains.

Lucille, as the princess of the Heavenly Fox Palace and the chairwoman of the Round Table Conference, is indeed one of the most esteemed individuals on the entire Heavenly Demon Continent. She might just know.

Lucille thought for a moment, ”I think I’ve heard of such a herb, but I can’t recall where at the moment. Let me check later. Aren’t you coming back? If I find any information, I’ll let you know then.”

Heard of it?

Although he hadn’t received any definite information, Carson felt a bit more hopeful.

Once everything was settled, Carson didn’t linger, politely declining Lucille’s banquet invitation and bidding farewell directly.

At night, the two of them camped in a wild mountain valley.

”Passing on a banquet and cooking your own meal in the wild...”

Carson cooked while answering, ”Socializing is so boring. We can now cook whatever we fancy, much more comfortable.”

Selah Ellison Immortal Lord teased, ”Fox women are known to be enchanting. If you stayed, you might have had a fox woman attending to you for the night. You’ve likely missed out.”

Carson laughed, not taking it seriously, ”You’re making things up. Though I’m a Special Envoy of the Celestial Palace, the Heavenly Fox Palace holds foxes in high regard. Master Austin wouldn’t send a fox woman to attend to me overnight; it would be a loss of face for the palace. She wouldn’t do such a thing.”

Selah Ellison Immortal Lord laughed, ”You’re quite clear-headed.”

Carson chuckled and changed the subject, ”Where’s the Water Scale Dragon Ape located?”

Selah Ellison Immortal Lord asked in surprise, ”Aren’t you going to Sky Wolf Palace to see the Demon Emperor?”

Carson shook his head, ”Let’s find the Water Scale Dragon Ape first. As long as it’s there, it won’t escape.”

Selah Ellison Immortal Lord nodded, took out a map, and showed Carson, ”Here, someone has seen the Water Scale Dragon Ape in this mountain range. As long as nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to find it.”

Carson leaned in for a look; the map showed a circle indicating a stretch of desolate mountains.

Just as Carson was about to look away, he suddenly paused.

”Huh, Qinghe County? Is Qinghe County right next to this mountain range?”

Selah Ellison Immortal Lord paused, retrieved the map for a close look, and said, ”Yes, it really is. Haha, you might just meet Lilianna Nalan there. Seems like you two are quite destined!”

Carson felt a sense of joy and anticipation rising in his heart, ”Qinghe County is so large; finding her won’t be easy. I haven’t even asked her where exactly she would be.”

Selah Ellison Immortal Lord asked, ”Want to go back and ask?”

Carson shook his head, ”No need. Just wanted to see if she’s doing well. It’s not crucial to meet her.”

Selah Ellison Immortal Lord chuckled lightly, ”Is this how you treat all your friends, or is it because she’s beautiful?”

Carson explained helplessly, ”Do you think I’m that kind of person? When I went to the Dragon Spirit Continent before, I visited my senior brother, too. He’s definitely not a woman...”
