The Villain has Perished

When Shen Lie had revealed this shocking revelation to the 3 holy saintesses, they were all shocked wordlessly.

For the past 100 years, they were indeed filled with guilt and had been accusing one another of harming Shen Lie.

But they had never found the culprit saintess that was responsible for harming Shen Lie.

Shen Lie further explained, "I know that you are all upset with me for destroying the Carnation Goddess Painting time and time again. For this, I am truly sorry about this."

The 3 holy saintesses were suddenly looking at Shen Lie tenderly; this was the first time that Shen Lie had apologized to them over his actions.

When he had destroyed his Carnation Goddess Painting a hundred times in the past, he did not even apologize for his actions.

He did not need to because he was their cultivation master and he had made them into 7 formidable saintess in which they had almost no equal in the Fenghua Great Continent. 

And he had also carefully told them which profound treasures that they ought to take when he was no longer around.

Although they had divided his profound treasures when they had cast him down the desolate chasm, they had also carefully divided his profound treasures accordingly to his wishes.

For a time, these 7 saintesses were actually quite united together as they confronted the hostile powerhouses of the Fenghua Great Continent, defeating all the cultivators that they had met.

At first, they were quite delighted to have get rid of Shen Lie as they were all getting quite pissed off with him.

But very soon, they were all feeling guilty and started to accuse one another of hurting Shen Lie the most. 

And they were particularly hateful of the unknown saintess that had shattered Shen Lie's cultivation core. 

With Shen Lie's cultivation strength, he probably won't die if he falls off into the abyssal chasm and the 7 holy saintesses were all prepared to apologize to him when he was back again.

But shattering his cultivation core had shattered their hopes that they would see Shen Lie alive ever again.

The 7 saintesses were all angry with Shen Lie for painting his stupid Carnation Goddess Painting again and again. 

All of them have their own questions to ask Shen Lie about this painting and they didn't treat Shen Lie as their cultivation master.

And Shen Lie did not care to be strict with them while they were cultivating with them and allowed them to freely do whatever they want. 

That was why they had a love-hate relationship with Shen Lie, rather than a master-disciple relationship.

All of them were hoping that Shen Lie would take them as his consort but Shen Lie had no indication of ever trying to take them as his consorts even though they had lived under the same roof and all the saintesses were constantly trying to please Shen Lie every day.

Shen Lie was good in many cultivations except for the profound martial arts which he was too lazy to move a muscle to train. 

And he often boasted to the saintesses that he was good with 100 000 types of cultivation practices, minus off the profound martial arts of course.

Although the 7 saintesses did not really believe Shen Lie but they had to admit that he was quite suck in fighting. 

However even though Shen Lie never practiced any profound martial arts, he had freely given the 7 saintesses their unique profound martial arts that were based on their constitutions. 

In the hundreds of years that they were with Shen Lie, he had never for once lost his cool at them even though sometimes they often did certain things that would cause most people to explode with anger.

But Shen Lie was extremely cool and nonchalant even when they had wasted profound pills and profound treasures that could bleed dry even a major cultivation holy land.

They had no name for their cultivation sect simply because Shen Lie had none and he did not care to have one. 

And of course, Shen Lie was not always with them as he traveled on his own a lot. 

It was only later when he had told them if they wanted to volunteer for his Carnation Goddess Painting that he began to spend more time with them.

To pose for his Carnation Goddess Painting was also a volunteering act as Shen Lie did not force them to pose for him.

But all 7 of the saintesses saw themselves as his rightful consort and hence, they were all willing to take the risk. 

Secretly they had made an agreement with one another to treat one another as sister saintesses even if they were not selected and they were even willing to become Shen Lie's concubines instead. 

But Shen Lie kept destroying his Carnation Goddess Painting until they were all quite frustrated with him. 

And they had all blown up in anger one day when Shen Lie had tried to destroy his Carnation Goddess Painting again. 

This time they did not allow him to destroy the Carnation Goddess Painting. 

"Wait a minute," Saintess Sheng Feiyan was suddenly asking.

She asked with a perplexed look, "That day we saw you escaping with the Carnation Goddess Painting. What happened to it?"

Shen Lie smiled bitterly, "I had lost it when I had fallen down into the abyssal chasm. Haha…"

Saintess Qian Yufeng smiled, "Never mind about it. You are going to destroy it anyway."

"That's right." Saintess Beitang Fang was also smiling too as she tried to comfort Shen Lie.

Shen Lie sighed woefully, "Actually, that copy of the Carnation Goddess Painting is perfect. It is especially so when it had survived the tribulations of the 7 saintesses. That was why I had tried to take it away with me that day. Now I have to paint it all over again."

Saintess Beitang Fang: …

Saintess Qian Yufeng: …

Saintess Sheng Feiyan: …

Sheng Feiyan displayed her divine sword and said angrily, "Don't stop me for killing Shen Lie today!" 

Saintess Qian Yufeng had also taken out her divine sword, "Same here."

"I want to kill you as well, Shen Lie." Saintess Beitang Fang was also staring coldly at Shen Lie.
