The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Halvion Ward clearly loves gourmet food; he seriously consults Carson Flores while watching him prepare several dishes.

In the Mortal Realm, there are countless cuisines. Carson Flores had seen numerous ways of making fine dishes before but hadn’t tried them, as he lacked the skills.

However, after Carson Flores embarked on the Immortal Path, it became much easier to recreate the things in his mind, as the key in culinary skills is control.

Chopping vegetables tests knife skills, requiring control of the knife to cut to various required thicknesses or designs. Cooking demands control over temperature; a few seconds less might result in raw, a few seconds more might be overcooked. Besides temperature, the balance of flavors must be controlled—how much salt, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce—and how they blend together.

These tasks are challenging for untrained ordinary people. However, practice makes perfect, and even a homemaker might not make dishes as exquisite as a chef, but surely their specialty home dishes are delicious.

Carson Flores’s powerful abilities and Divine Sense allow him to better control everything, making him skillful in various culinary methods and enabling him to become exceptionally adept over time.

Gourmet food, whether for mortals or immortals, remains the same, so knowledge from the Mortal Realm can also impress immortals.

Carson Flores may not comprehend Immortal Realm ingredients as well as Halvion Ward, but his understanding of cooking techniques is backed by the entire Mortal Realm, giving him confidence.

Carson Flores spoke eloquently, while Halvion Ward listened intently, occasionally raising questions or offering opinions. Their exchange was vibrant and harmonious.

Kaelithra Nixon had been sitting at the table, resting her chin, looking eagerly.

The fifth sister and seventh brother listened to their conversation, feeling quite intrigued. After all, it’s rare to meet someone who can chat so joyfully with the eldest brother about culinary arts. Not every cultivator is willing to spend time cooking gourmet food.

Soon, all the dishes were served up, their aroma wafting everywhere.

Though these ingredients might not match the top-tier ones Halvion Ward once prepared, they are undoubtedly rare and of exceptional quality.

Carson Flores has journeyed all the way from the Mortal Realm, traversed numerous Immortal Domains, and witnessed many grand events, absolutely not lacking experience or worldly knowledge.

Both host and guest enjoyed the meal.

As the meal was nearing its end, Halvion Ward presented a blue token with two words ”Grand Void” on it, its strokes ethereal and elegant.

”This is the Grand Void Order from my Grand Void Mountain. If you encounter danger while traveling, you can show this. It represents my master, True Sage Grand Void, and it can resolve most difficulties. If in special circumstances the opposing party sees the Grand Void Order yet refuses to relent, then activate the formation within the Grand Void Order, and I will come following the formation.”

”Again, my Grand Void Mountain may not be invincible in the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain, but many immortals would show respect. Regardless of who it is, even if I cannot defeat them, I can certainly protect you fully, so Mr. Flores, rest assured and boldly pursue what you wish to do.”

”If any problems arise, Grand Void Mountain will have you covered.”

Halvion Ward’s words warmed Carson Flores’s heart.

He felt truly moved.

To Grand Void Mountain, he was really nothing, yet received such importance.

Throughout his journey, he encountered numerous deceitful individuals, arrogant madmen, and vicious hooligans, but equally met upright, honest people with the demeanor of gentlemen. If not for this, his Immortal Path might have been cut off long ago, reincarnating countless times.

”Thank you, Ward. Once my affairs are completed, I will surely return to deliver back the Grand Void Order.”

Halvion Ward replied with a smile, ”The Grand Void Order is a minor matter, even if not returned it’s no issue. You wouldn’t use it for nefarious deeds that damage Grand Void Mountain’s reputation. But indeed, you truly must return. Today’s conversation reveals many aspects of your culinary craft worthy of my study. So, regardless of whether your affairs are settled, please come again for us to exchange ideas.”

Carson Flores bowed and said, ”Certainly!”

The next day, just as Carson Flores was leaving Grand Void Mountain, preparing to depart, a clear voice called from behind.

”Mr. Flores, wait!”

Carson Flores turned and saw Halvion Ward and Kaelithra Nixon walking toward him side by side.

Carson Flores halted and smiled, ”Ward, is there anything else you need to explain?”

Halvion Ward smiled and shook his head, then looked at Kaelithra Nixon beside him.

Kaelithra Nixon spoke, ”Mr. Flores, are you going to search for the Leap Void Beast? The nearest place is the Red River Mountains. Are you heading there?”

Carson Flores nodded, ”Yes, I’ll go there first, try my luck, and if not, I’ll visit other places.”

Kaelithra Nixon laughed, ”I happen to be going out on business; let’s go together.”
