The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Jokes aside, Carson Flores accompanying Lorvian Randall to look for the Giant Tortoise was thus settled.

”That guy, Rethor Simmons’ daughter is also in here. He came in specifically to look for his daughter...”

Carson Flores talked about Rethor Simmons, and Lorvian Randall nodded. ”Alright, once we’re back on Market Island, I’ll put up a reward in my own name. That’s all we can do. In this damned place, trying to find someone is really too hard.”

Carson Flores nodded. ”You’re the Sea God Church Holy Son. In name, throughout the entire Suffering Pray Sea, no one has a higher status than you. If you offer a huge reward, whether it’s for reputation, profit, or the future, as long as they have news, they’ll definitely tell you and won’t hide it.”

”Even though your enemies, the Aarav Family and the Valentine Family, also have shops here, we’re only looking for an ordinary person. They’ve got no reason to pay lip service or go against you over a commoner. It’s just not worth it.”

Lorvian Randall nodded. ”Alright, then let’s head back to Market Island.”

Carson Flores asked curiously, ”You’ve been searching for Clam Pearls here all this time and never went to search for the Giant Tortoise?”

Lorvian Randall spread his hands. ”Yeah. The ones I found before all got used up during my Breakthrough. I have to find some more. I was fully prepared to stay here for a hundred years, so what am I in a hurry for? I’ll gather more Clam Pearls and cultivate hard. Maybe one day I’ll break into Great Land Prime Immortal. Then I’ll go after the Giant Tortoise—won’t it be a lot safer by then?”

Carson Flores laughed. ”I thought you really weren’t afraid of death at all?”

Lorvian Randall chuckled. ”When you’re living well, who actually wants to die? Even though I’ve been exiled here for a hundred years, I’ve long been prepared. To me, this place is like a training ground. Putting everything else aside, just from a cultivation perspective, this place is simply too suitable for cultivating.”

Carson Flores asked curiously, ”Under these Spiritual Energy tides, how do you even cultivate?”

Lorvian Randall smiled. ”No magical treasure—just rely on your physical body to withstand the Spiritual Energy tides, use your own Spiritual Power to protect your whole body, and grit your teeth until dawn. At that point, both your Sea of Consciousness and body are basically in an oil‑stained‑lamp‑about‑to-go-out state. Then while the Spiritual Energy tides subside, you go crazy absorbing Spiritual Energy, converting it into Spiritual Power, and storing it in your Sea of Consciousness.”

Carson Flores’ eyes went wide. ”That ruthless?”

Lorvian Randall curled his lip. ”It’s just pain—you’re not going to die from it. Besides, the body of a Great Land Immortal has far stronger endurance. It can handle it.”

Carson Flores was silent for two seconds. ”Are you showing off?”

Lorvian Randall laughed. ”You can try it too. You’re a Great Land Fairy; there’s a gap between us, but like I said, you won’t die. This world may make you feel like you want to die from discomfort, but for someone with determination, it’s a blessed land.”

After a pause, Lorvian Randall suggested, ”Since you’re all here, don’t be in a rush to leave. Let’s cultivate together and look for Clam Pearls together, watch each other’s backs. We’ll talk about leaving after we’ve cultivated for a while.”

Carson Flores nodded. In a training ground this harsh, since he’d come, he really couldn’t waste the opportunity.

Niall Sinclair nodded. ”This is a Secret Realm. If I cultivate here, I won’t alarm the Abyssal Sect. I’m also stuck at the Carp Dragon Realm. I hope I can borrow the power of Clam Pearls to break through the Carp Dragon Realm.”

Carson Flores naturally had his own ideas. He was carrying a bunch of Sea God Commands. Now that he had entered the Great Land Fairy realm, he was about to face the bottleneck of Peak Great Land Profound Immortal. If he cultivated bitterly here for a while and found more Clam Pearls, maybe he could Breakthrough.

Cassiane Sinclair was taken into the Ethereal Pagoda by Carson Flores. After she reunited with Simmons, they headed toward Market Island.

”Why are you at the Valentine Family Pharmacy?”

Carson Flores gave a cheeky laugh. ”So I don’t have to be blown by the wind and drenched by the rain. I’m an Alchemist; I’m just scraping by for some food.”

Lorvian Randall looked surprised. ”You’re an Alchemist?”

Carson Flores smiled. ”Yeah. You didn’t know I’m a High-Order Alchemist?”

Lorvian Randall stared at Carson Flores in surprise. ”You’ve got quite a few tricks up your sleeve, huh?”

Carson Flores laughed heartily. ”If you’re out wandering, you’ve gotta have some skills to get by. Otherwise, when you’re broke, you won’t even have food to eat!”

Lorvian Randall laughed. ”I underestimated you. Looks like you’re living quite comfortably here.”

Carson Flores chuckled. ”It’s alright. I hide in the pharmacy every day, do some Alchemy, take naps. When it’s light out, I go out for a stroll. If I really were a criminal exiled here, living like this is pretty damn comfy. Forget one year—even a hundred years wouldn’t feel hard.”

Lorvian Randall replied, ”Since you’re at the Valentine Family shop, you can’t show any connection to me...”

Carson Flores smiled. ”Of course. The Aarav Family and Valentine Family are dying to see you dead. Once we’re back on Market Island, we each go our own way... You got a place to stay?”

Lorvian Randall nodded. ”I can stay at the Bitter Sea Commerce Guild.”

Carson Flores asked, ”Whose influence is that?”

Lorvian Randall explained, ”It’s under Director Newman of the Elders’ Council. Director Newman appreciates me quite a bit and supports me. Before I came, he had someone send me a message, telling me to stay at the Bitter Sea Commerce Guild and that if I need anything, I can ask them for help.”

Carson Flores nodded. ”Alright, then I’ll head back to the Valentine Family shop first. Oh, right—since we’re planning to stay and cultivate and advance, you need to find someone to pass a message to Cillian Bernard, or she’ll keep worrying.”

Lorvian Randall’s expression turned subtle. After a few seconds of silence, he nodded. ”Alright!”
