"This is the most likely possibility!"

Lucille Austin's gaze was stern, just what kind of event could have caused the strong figures of Sky Wolf Palace to all be dispatched, and even the Palace Master, Doran Banks, to meet with mishap?

"I will activate the teleportation array to send someone quickly to Sky Wolf Palace. As the leader of the Round Table Council, I'll confirm where they have gone and what for."

Carson Flores and Lucille Austin couldn't possibly guess the truth; what they could guess most reliably was that the Palace Master led people away, but encountered some kind of danger.

The life or death of Sky Wolf Palace's Master doesn't concern Carson Flores; he only cares if this matter relates to the Heavenly Alliance.

"If the Palace Master learns the truth that it's related to the Heavenly Alliance, please inform me as well."

"Alright!"

Carson Flores couldn't remain here waiting forever; his main purpose on the Heavenly Demon Continent was to find the main ingredients for the Nine Revolutions Great Land Pill, and now knowing the location of the last ingredient, why would he tarry here?

Even if Celestial Palace's mighty ones arrive on the Heavenly Demon Continent, they will come first to the Heavenly Fox Palace; any news, passing it on to them is the same.

Carson Flores is ultimately just a special envoy.

Strengthening himself is Carson Flores's immediate priority.

After the banquet, Lilianna Norman invited Carson Flores and Selah Ellison Immortal Lord to her residence for tea.

Selah Ellison Immortal Lord smiled charmingly and said, "I'm tired, so I won't go; you two take your time chatting."

Carson Flores turned his head to look at Selah Ellison Immortal Lord, who winked at Carson Flores.

"Go for it, win her over!"

Carson Flores was instantly embarrassed. Lilianna Norman wanted to explain something but seeing that Selah Ellison Immortal Lord was completely unconcerned, she felt that if she explained, it might instead seem suspicious.

Selah Ellison Immortal Lord walked with ease, her figure disappearing at the end of the garden.

The atmosphere between them became somewhat awkward, and for a moment they didn't speak.

Carson Flores, slightly embarrassed, took the initiative to speak: "Don't mind her words, she likes to joke, don't take it seriously."

Lilianna Norman blinked: "I didn't take it seriously."

Carson Flores laughed and said: "Let's go. Now you're the host, I'm the guest, so it's guest follows host."

Lilianna Norman brought Carson Flores to her residence and brewed tea for him.

Carson Flores observed Lilianna Norman's residence. It was a small building protected by a formation, abundant in spiritual energy, with beautiful scenery.

"Seems like you're living well."

Lilianna Norman sat across from Carson Flores at ease: "I only moved in here recently; I changed my residence after advancing to the Heavenly Immortal..."

Carson Flores laughed and said, "It's not easy for everyone."

Lilianna Norman chuckled lightly: "Compared to you, I'm nothing. After all, I'm the Palace Master's disciple, this identity makes others wary. There are some small tricks targeting me, but no one dares go too far."

"The dangers you've faced over the years are many; any misstep could mean annihilation. You've had it much harder than me."

Carson Flores shrugged and laughed lightly: "You have an Innate Taoist Body, while my talent is ordinary, incomparable!"

Lilianna Norman asked, "When will you go to the Extreme Southern Lands?"

"Tomorrow?"

Carson Flores laughed and said, "Anyway, staying here serves no purpose; might as well set off early."

Lilianna Norman blinked: "Shall I accompany you?"

Carson Flores laughed and said, "No need, with Selah accompanying me, it's not a big issue."

Lilianna Norman's voice was leisurely: "Ah, never thought even a Heavenly Immortal would be dismissed…"

Carson Flores laughed heartily: "Indeed! I'm not good at much else, but I'm the best at fleeing. Though you're more skilled than me, when it comes to escape methods, you might not outshine me. You better not drag me down."

Lilianna Norman gave Carson Flores a sideways glance, her eyes shimmering like water, her smile brimming with charm, stirring a ripple in Carson Flores's heart.

Who wouldn't be swayed by the ambiguous relationship between him and Lilianna Norman?

"Don't look at me like that with those eyes. Don't you know how beautiful you are? Such looks at a man are very tempting!"

Lilianna Norman pouted: "You just say whatever. If you truly wanted to do something to me, wouldn't you have long since acted?"

Lilianna Norman's eyes were subtly intriguing: "You're someone who, despite being called fickle, seems deeply devoted, caring for each of your lovers so attentively; yet say you're devoted, and there are several women around you..."

Carson Flores directly owned up: "I've never claimed to be a good person; in the Mortal Realm, there are several women around me."

Lilianna Norman blinked, suddenly asking: "Then why haven't you made a move on me?"

Carson Flores was dumbfounded; wait, is that something you can directly ask?

Lilianna Norman continued to ask: "Is it because I'm not pretty enough, or because I'm from the Demon Race and you feel nothing for me?"

Carson Flores cleared his throat several times; after so many years without seeing her, has Lilianna Norman become so bold?

Daring to score a direct hit!

"I'm trying to be a good person, aren't I? Do you want me to be a bad person?"

"You know, I have more than one woman around me; a love debt is the hardest to repay..."

Lilianna Norman blinked: "A love debt is difficult to repay, but I don't want you to repay it. Besides, if there remains a regret in your heart, might it not turn into a heart demon, giving you a fatal strike at a critical moment?"

No need to repay it!

Carson Flores felt that today's Lilianna Norman was very sharp!

Strikes were lethal, strikes hit straight to the heart!

Carson Flores, as if under a spell, asked: "Do you like me?"

Lilianna Norman's face flushed instantly; she knew Carson Flores's character, so she dared to jokingly tease him, but she didn't expect him to directly retort!

Lilianna Norman bit her lip: "Yes, if not for liking you, I wouldn't have stayed by your side in the Central Divine Continent, actively sought you out, and cared for you."

Carson Flores didn't expect such a straightforward response from Lilianna Norman, hesitated to ask: "And now?"

Lilianna Norman replied: "Over these years, I've focused on cultivation, though some pursued me and showed goodwill, I remained indifferent."

"If we remain as we are now, perhaps after a hundred or a thousand years, I might gradually forget, and my heart will settle in calm, but whenever I think of you, there will always be a regret stirring in my heart."

"In the Demon Race, I have no relatives or friends; the Demon Emperor has intentions; back when the Demon Ancestor wanted to seize my body, he did not stop him."

"You are the only one who resolutely helped me. Funnily, you are from the Human Race, the Human Emperor, the Demon Race's adversary!"

"Over the years, every time I recall the past, you are the only warmth in my heart, a spiritual support that kept me from turning into a monster solely devoted to cultivation."

Lilianna Norman's eyes were bright, her tone gentle, speaking softly, like a stream in the pine forest, pleasing to the ear.

Perhaps because Carson Flores is leaving tomorrow and they rarely have time alone, today Lilianna Norman opened up and shared all her thoughts.

No matter the outcome, she had to earnestly tell Carson Flores her true feelings.

Carson Flores listened intently, with a warm, gentle emotion in his heart.

Lilianna Norman looked straight at Carson Flores: "I like you, and today I want to ask, do you like me, or have you ever liked me?"
