Chapter 590: Chapter 590 Strange Beast?_1

"I need to go back."

Lilly Compton was taken aback for a moment, and asked in confusion, "Why are you leaving so soon? Isn’t the spiritual energy here still quite abundant?"

Carson Flores explained with a smile, "I have to help my cousin fight a battle tomorrow to secure his position as the Family Head heir, so I must leave today."

Lilly Compton responded with an "oh" and hesitated, "Can I help with anything?"

Carson Flores chuckled lightly, "You just focus on your cultivation. When you become a powerful Innate Grandmaster in the future and need help, I’ll definitely call you."

Lilly Compton gave another "oh," not feeling too disappointed. Given Carson Flores’s strength, if he even needed assistance, it would surely be from an Innate Grandmaster, and her own level at the Grandmaster Realm was definitely not enough to withstand a punch from him.

"Will you come back after you’ve handled everything?"

Carson Flores smiled, "I won’t be coming back."

Lilly Compton paused, surprised, "Why not? The spiritual energy here is still pretty dense, right?"

Carson Flores explained, "I might have some matters to deal with; you just focus on your cultivation."

After cultivating here for some time, a lot of the spiritual energy had been absorbed. While Carson Flores could still improve his strength if he continued to cultivate here, the increase wouldn’t be significant. However, leaving the remaining spiritual energy for Lilly Compton, who was still at the Grandmaster Realm, would allow her to achieve a much greater improvement.

Lilly Compton felt a bit down, being together with Carson Flores, even if they were only cultivating and rarely spoke, always seemed to bring her joy.

"Alright then, I’ll keep looking for the next place with spiritual energy and call you when I find it."

Carson Flores laughed, "Are you that silly?"

Lilly Compton naturally understood what Carson Flores meant. Spiritual energy was limited; the effect of one person cultivating versus two was certainly different, and considering Carson Flores’s much greater strength, he would naturally consume more of the spiritual energy if they cultivated together.

Lilly Compton replied with a smile, "Sharing is caring."

Carson Flores looked at Lilly Compton, who met his gaze with a sincere smile.

"Alright then, call me."

"Okay!"

Carson Flores picked up his bag and turned towards the cave entrance to leave, but after just a few steps, the little marten, which had been sleeping the whole time, suddenly opened its eyes.

It looked at Carson Flores then at Lilly Compton, rolled over, and scurried to Carson Flores’s side.

Carson Flores stopped in his tracks, his gaze somewhat surprised as he looked at the little guy.

"I’m leaving, are you coming with me?"

The little guy naturally couldn’t speak but simply stood there, staring at Carson Flores.

As Carson Flores began to walk again, the little guy hurriedly followed, like a pet dog following its owner.

Lilly Compton said with a laugh, "This little one is pretty clever. It looks like he wants to go with you."

Carson Flores hadn’t planned on taking the little marten with him; after all, he was constantly on the move, and it would be inconvenient to bring it along. However, seeing how persistently it followed him, his heart softened.

He opened his travel bag and patted the inside, "Get in, and I’ll take you with me."

The little marten dashed over and neatly crawled into the travel bag, curling up as if it were a sleeping kitten.

Lilly Compton chuckled, "So clever. It looks like you’re going to have to take it with you."

Carson Flores picked up the travel bag, "It’s fate, so I’ll take it home... Let’s go."

With the unexpectedly encountered little marten in tow, Carson Flores flew back to Xi Jing and returned to the Frost Family.

Shirley Miller and Leah Frost were sunbathing in the yard when they saw Carson Flores return, smiles appeared on their faces, and then the next second, their eyes were drawn to the little marten in Carson Flores’s travel bag.

"Eh, what’s this, a marten?"

Leah Frost smiled, "Could it be that this is a gift you bought for Mary Jimenez?"

Carson Flores said with a smile, "I found it at the cultivation site. We got used to each other after spending time together, and when I was leaving, it kept following me, so I brought it home."

Shirley Miller’s eyes landed on the little marten, and her face showed surprise, "A Lightning Mink?"

Carson Flores turned in astonishment, "Mary, you recognize it?"

Shirley Miller approached and observed carefully, "It’s definitely a Lightning Mink. This isn’t just any ordinary marten; it should be considered a magical beast. It likes to eat poisonous snakes and fish, and it’s incredibly fast, like lightning. If you can raise it, its combat power will be extremely formidable."

Carson Flores said in surprise, "When you say combat power, do you mean in the mortal realm or The Unknown Land?"

The Unknown Land.

Shirley Miller’s eyes filled with wonder, "I didn’t expect that Lightning Minks still existed in the mortal realm; that’s truly amazing."

Carson Flores’s heart stirred, and he took out his phone to show a picture of the strange fish that the Lightning Mink had killed after several fights, "The Lightning Mink fought many battles against this strange fish before finally killing it. Do you know what kind of fish this is?"

Shirley Miller looked even more amazed, "A Sabertooth Snowfish. Such a fish requires absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy for growth. To be this size means it’s fully grown. This fish can aid in cultivation and is considered precious even in The Unknown Land. It’s incredible that you encountered it..."
