The Carnation Goddess



The Saintess Palace.

Fairy Xiang Yun by now had returned to the Saintess Palace and she was now alone in audience with her Holy Saintess Beitang Fang.

Holy Saintess Beitang Fang said coldly after seeing the disappointed look that was on Fairy Xiang Yun's face, "Have you found the Great Demon Heretic Lord Shen Lie?"

Fairy Xiang Yun lowered her head and she said in a low voice, "Your holy saintess, I didn't find the Great Demon Heretic Lord Shen Lie at all. Perhaps the two holy saintesses Sheng Feiyan and Qian Yufeng is hiding this man?"

Holy Saintess Beitang Fang paused to think, "Never mind. This Shen Lie has the Grand Sage Saint cultivation. Even if you can find him, it is impossible for you to kill him…"

She had suddenly rose up to say, "It seems that I have to make a trip to the combined holy land of Shen Feiyan and Qian Yufeng now."

Then she clenched her fists angrily as this extremely beautiful maiden said coldly, "They have even dared to call their new holy land the Holy Carnation Sanctuary. This is a slap on my face and the rest of the holy saintesses."

The Carnation Painting.

The Carnation Goddess.

And they dared to call their new holy land the Holy Carnation Sanctuary!

This a direct provocation!

What a nerve!

It shouldn't be Saintess Sheng Feiyan because she doesn't have this nerve.

But on the other hand, Saintess Qian Yufeng is the more likely one to have come out with such a provocation name.

Fairy Xiang Yun was startled, "Your holy saintess, you are planning to pay a personal visit?"

Holy Saintess Beitang Fang slowly nodded, "If Shen Lie is near, then I will know."

Fairy Xiang Yun quickly said, "Then may I accompany your holy saintess on this trip."

Holy Saintess Beitang Fang said, "You should rest after your mission. I don't want to hinder your cultivation too much."

Fairy Xiang Yun quickly insisted, "I am one of the best swords of your holy saintess. Moreover, I still need some more contribution points before I can enter into my cultivation."

Holy Saintess Beitang Fang slowly nodded, "Since you have insisted, alright then. Fairy Xiang Yun, you shall accompany me then and we shall teach the new holy land of the Holy Carnation Sanctuary a lesson that they won't forget."

Fairy Xiang Yun was actually all too glad to be accompanying her holy saintess; it was because this means that she would be able to see Lie Qingming again.

In her heart she was thinking now: Lie Qingming, do you have me in your heart? Or is this just a night of passion for you?

She did not know that this Lie Qingming is actually Shen Lie.

Fairy Xiang Yun asked cautiously, "Your Holy Saintess, even though we are much stronger than the Holy Carnation Sanctuary but they have two holy saintesses. Is it wise to actually attack them?"

Holy Saintess Beitang Fang smiled wryly, "At most, they can only draw against me but the hand that strikes them down won't be me."

Fairy Xiang Yun looked a little perplexed, "Pardon your stupid protégé here. But may I know why?"

Holy Saintess Beitang Fang chuckled, "That is because they shouldn't have picked the name of their holy land as such. Not only will they provoke our Saintess Palace, they have also provoked the other two powerhouses of a holy land the Snow Flora Pavilion and the Holy Ascension Citadel as well."

Fairy Xiang Yun was looking quite perplexed.

Why does a name affect so much?

It doesn't matter to her as long as she can see Lie Qingming again.

On the way back, she had noticed something weird; her cultivation seemed to have improved of late.

Is it because of her newfound bliss that caused this sudden change?

Back to the new holy land of the Holy Carnation Sanctuary.

Nangong Shu and Hua Zixia were alone with Shen Lie in a hall and they had specifically to look for him, knowing that he would be there today.

In this hall, Shen Lie was sweeping the floor as today was his duty to do so.

And they were looking weirdly at him.

Hua Zixia was the first to say, "I am a peak Gold Core cultivator now. This is really weird. My cultivation seems to have been improved even though I can't put a reason to it."

"Same here. I supposed to have reached my cultivation blocker for now and I would need another 10 years of deep cultivation in order to overcome my cultivation blocker." Nangong Shu was also saying. "Shen Lie, do you know the answer?"

Shen Lie continued to sweep the floor without looking up, "Hm, you are asking me why?"

Hua Zixia was smiling, "I am sure that you know why. So why don't you tell us why?"

Shen Lie looked up and he sighed heavily, "I have told you that I will make the two of you into a saintess. But it seems that the two of you do not believe it. But when your cultivation has an improvement, you are here to look for me for an answer?"

Nangong Shu giggled softly as she pointed out, "It has to be you but you didn't do anything to help us. So, we want to know why."

Shen Lie asked, "Did I really not do anything to help the two of you? I've nourished the two of you with my yang essence and you now claim that I didn't do a thing to help you?"

Hua Zixia was startled, "How the heck is your yang essence able to help us to cultivate?"

Nangong Shu was looking flustered as she started to look around as she warned Hua Zixia and Shen Lie, "Shhh. Not too loud. This is quite embarrassing to say aloud."

Shen Lie said matter of fact, "I did say that I am Grand Sage Saint Shen Lie, am I right?"

Nangong Shu and Hua Zixia did not know what to say; it was because Shen Lie looked too scholarly and he was horribly bad at fighting.

"The potent blood of a Grand Sage Saint is naturally a useful thing to be used in many high grade profound pills, am I right?"

Nangong Shu and Hua Zixia slowly nodded, not understanding.

Shen Lie pointed out nonchalantly, "My yang essence is actually formed from my potent blood and it is 100 times more potent than even my potent blood. So after you have taken of my yang essence, do you think that your cultivation will still be the same?"

Nangong Shu and Hua Zixia were both startled as they stared at Shen Lie with a look of disbelief as they asked at the same time, "Is this true?"

Shen Lie returned to sweeping the floor, "It is up for the two of you to believe me. I am a little busy today."

Hua Zixia giggled softly as she pulled Shen Lie by his arm, "Shen Lie, I am discharging you from your duties today. Why don't we go to my room for a little chat?"

Nangong Shu was also pulling Shen Lie by the other arm and there was a coyly look in her, "Why don't we arrange a new duty for you instead?"
