Chapter 2739: Eyes Can’t Lie
Carson Flores sat in his spot, curiously surveying his surroundings.
The guests around him were busy chatting with beautiful maidens, drinking alone, or conversing with each other.
Carson Flores’s gaze swept across the entire hall, his heart filled with questions.
Although these maidens did not match the previous twenty beauties who welcomed them at the mountain gate, they were all above Immortal level, with most at the Human Immortal realm and a few at the Earth Immortal realm.
The female Immortals, who already possessed the grace of Immortals, were now like women from a Green Building, attending to guests. Even if some guests’ hands were unruly, they just giggled and dodged slightly, without any sign of anger on their faces.
Were they really not angry, or did they not dare to be?
Just how powerful is Immortal Gathering Island, and how many people does it have? Judging by this value, there are at least a thousand female Immortals just serving as attendants!
Were these female Immortals deliberately trained by Immortal Gathering Island as a means to win over cultivators? Each one is stunningly beautiful, pleasing and catering intentionally. How many guests can resist?
A powerful Sect specifically trains so many female Immortals, using their bodies to lure cultivators to join. This seems inherently questionable.
Does an impressive Immortal Sect need to use such means?
While Carson Flores was pondering, a tall maiden appeared at the entrance of the great hall, leading two other maidens holding exquisite dishes and fine wine towards Carson’s table.
The maiden bowed slightly to Carson Flores, "Sir, hello, I am Zorvyn Harrison, the maiden you chose, and I will be serving you for the duration of your stay."
Carson Flores looked up, his eyes falling on the maiden’s face, momentarily surprised.
In this hall, the maidens were either graceful, enchanting, charming, or voluptuous; they each had their unique beauty. However, although the maiden before him was quite tall, her face was rather ordinary.
If this lady were placed among the myriad women of the world, she might be considered decent, but compared with the various beauties in the hall, she seemed quite plain.
Carson Flores suddenly thought of the wooden hairpin representing her and felt that this girl’s temperament was very similar to that simple wooden hairpin.
Thoughts flashed in Carson Flores’s mind, but a peaceful smile appeared on his face: "Miss Harrison, thank you."
Zorvyn Harrison nodded gently, her expression calm as she walked around the table, came to Carson Flores’s side, and softly instructed the two maidens behind her to lay down the exquisite dishes and fine wine. She then gathered her skirt and sat down beside Carson Flores.
Zorvyn Harrison picked up the wine pot to pour for Carson Flores, her body leaning slightly forward, immediately a faint fragrance entered Carson Flores’s senses.
"Sir, this is the Immortal Wine Orchid Fragrance, a special product of our Immortal Gathering Island. Regular consumption improves one’s physique and reduces the chance of heart demons forming; it also helps in coping with the Heavenly Tribulation during a breakthrough..."
While Zorvyn Harrison introduced the wine, she filled her own cup, set down the wine pot, and raised her cup: "Zorvyn Harrison toasts you, sir."
Carson Flores clinked cups with Zorvyn Harrison and said with a smile, "No bother, miss, I can pour my own drinks."
Zorvyn Harrison finished her cup in one gulp, smiling as she said, "Sir is a distinguished guest; if I fail to serve well, I would be punished."
Carson Flores glanced at Zorvyn Harrison and noticed that her expression seemed a bit stiff, as if slightly worried or troubled.
"Then I trouble you!"
Carson Flores was unsure of the standards Immortal Gathering Island had for these maidens, but he did not want them to be held accountable because of him. He nodded promptly, then raised his cup and drank the wine, letting it flow down smoothly.
As the Immortal Wine hit his stomach, pure and mighty energy was released from the wine, quickly spreading throughout his body, filling Carson Flores with an unusually comfortable sensation.
Carson Flores’s eyes lit up slightly; it was indeed a rare top-quality Immortal Wine!
"Good wine, can this be drunk freely?"
Zorvyn Harrison replied, "During the Gathering Immortals Assembly, all exquisite dishes and wines are freely enjoyed. These things are hard to come by outside, but they are not considered precious on Immortal Gathering Island."
Carson Flores casually asked, "If someone chooses to stay here, can they have these Immortal Wines and delicacies, even maidens, all the time?"
Zorvyn Harrison’s eyes briefly showed a very faint coldness. She smiled and replied, "The Immortal Wines and delicacies, naturally, yes. As for the maidens, it depends on your ability. As long as your ability is strong enough and your contributions are significant, having not just one maiden, even ten, is not an issue."
Carson Flores nodded but did not ask silly questions like "If you’re all such powerful cultivators, why are you willing to be attendants?" He simply picked up his chopsticks and began eating.
Zorvyn Harrison attended to Carson Flores as he enjoyed the Immortal Wine and delicacies. Carson did not reject her and enjoyed her service openly, habitually expressing his thanks.
Zorvyn Harrison heard Carson Flores thank her several times and looked at him with a slightly different gaze.
Eyes are the windows to the soul; one’s eyes cannot lie!
Carson Flores’s thanks were quite casual, but Zorvyn Harrison saw sincerity in the eyes of Carson Flores.
This man did not look down on me just because I am a maiden?
