The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2165: Chapter 2165: I Only Wish to Be a Carefree Immortal Among Mortals!

“Really?”

Ben Singleton’s eyes revealed a hint of curiosity: “Can you perform it so I can take a look?”

Carson Flores stepped forward, and a pattern appeared beneath his feet. His body disappeared into thin air. The next second, the air suddenly fluctuated, and Carson reappeared in front of Ben, as if he had never left.

Ben laughed, “How far can you teleport?”

Carson replied, “About two hundred miles, give or take.”

Ben nodded, “No wonder you said you’re good at escaping. Under Daluo, that’s already impressive. Your Ground Shrinking Technique is quite similar to my Xiaoyao Xing. Consider it a weaker version, but with differences. You’ll understand after reading the Jade Slip I gave you.”

“You already mastered the Ground Shrinking Technique, so learning my Xiaoyao Xing will be much easier. Start by comprehending it yourself, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask me.”

Carson nodded, “Thank you, senior.”

Ben laughed, “Aren’t we teammates? Just call me by my name. From today onward, there is no Xiaoyao Dragon Lord. All past grudges settle into dust. Every day ahead is my own, the life of Ben Singleton.”

Carson didn’t stand on ceremony and laughed, “Sure thing.”

After pausing for a moment, Carson inquired, “Do you know anything about the cultivation technique Tatum Howard practices?”

Ben asked in surprise, “The Sole Sovereignty Myriad Emperors Art?”

Carson was slightly taken aback, “Is the cultivation technique he practices really that ostentatious?”

Ben laughed, “Yes, it’s indeed that ostentatious. Whether it was named like that originally or if he named it, we don’t know. We can only say it’s really powerful. My own cultivation technique can’t compare.”

Carson took out the Meteoric Iron Shard, “I got it, and I just wanted to understand it better to see if it’s something I can also cultivate.”

Ben’s eyes fell on the Meteoric Iron Shard, curious: “Can I take a look… Don’t worry. My cultivation method is already integrated with me, so I can’t switch to another one anyway…”

Carson placed the Meteoric Iron Shard in front of Ben and laughed, “Even if you could learn it, that’s okay.”

Ben didn’t look at the Meteoric Iron Shard before him but instead looked up at Carson. “Are you always this trusting of others? If I learned it, I might find a way to eliminate others who know it, as they could potentially be my competitors…”

Carson chuckled, “We won’t have any conflicts of interest. If you aim to become the Master of the Immortal Domain or even compete for the Immortal Emperor, I’ll wholeheartedly support you. If you become formidable, we’re teammates, friends after all. Then I can rely on you, right? How great!”

Ben stared at Carson, “Are you not interested in such things? The higher you stand, the more power you wield, the more endless cultivation resources you can possess. As soon as you say the word, people will present them to you…”

Carson shook his head, “Not interested. I only wish to be a carefree human immortal. I don’t want to be stuck in some Immortal Palace Divine Mansion dealing with countless trivial matters and fighting tirelessly for power and profit. If I have the time, I’d rather take my family on a spontaneous, free-spirited journey in the Immortal Realm. How joyful that would be.”

“Let me tell you, I’ve actually been an Emperor of One Realm before. Ah, so many things I didn’t want to do but had to, because I was the Human Emperor. It was so bothersome and boring.”

Ben looked surprised, “You’ve been an Emperor of One Realm?”

Carson explained, “Yes, in a small world of the Lower Realm under the Immortal Domains, where the strongest is only Hollow Void. Once ascended to become an Immortal, you’d leave. It’s nothing compared to the spectacle and power of the Three Monarchs under an Emperor.”

Ben laughed, “That’s something! Being an Emperor of One Realm at such a young age, that’s not something just anyone can achieve.”

Carson chuckled again, reiterating, “I was just a little lucky and was chosen. My strength is nothing special.”

Carson truly had no defenses against Ben. He could tell that Ben and Tatum were two completely different kinds of people. Tatum is an ambitious hero who would do anything for power. Ben, on the other hand, had been defeated by Tatum but refused to submit. He even risked his life for revenge for those who had died. How could someone like him be a treacherous person?

To Tatum and Ben, Carson’s assets probably didn’t amount to much at all.

Ben’s eyes returned to the Meteoric Iron Shard in front of him. After examining it for a long while, he looked up and said, “For now, I still can’t figure it out, but I can confirm this is indeed the Sole Sovereignty Myriad Emperors Art that Tatum practices.”

Carson wasn’t in a hurry. Being able to confirm its authenticity was already helpful.

“No rush, we’ve got plenty of time for that later. You should get some rest first, and we’ll talk more later.”

“Alright!”

Delarosa waved his hand and created another house by the lakeshore, among the mountains and forests, where Carson sent Ben for recovery.

Ben’s body was almost entirely shattered, his meridians completely severed, and his vitality extinguished. Had he been an ordinary Immortal, he would have died long ago.

The Life Essence Pearl continuously transformed vitality, sustaining Ben’s life. However, at this moment, he was not much different from an ordinary person and could only recover slowly.

After settling Ben, Carson returned to the grand hall again.

“Alright, I’ve gained such a big opportunity. I guess the luck Mack Conley lent me is almost exhausted. Let’s just wait peacefully for the Secret Realm to close!”
