The Villain has Perished

Chapter 109 Shen Lie's Secret

When Shen Lie had approached the inner palace, he could hear the jovial laughter of the 3 holy saintesses.

Saintess Sheng Feiyan was laughing, "I was 13 when Shen Lie took me as his disciple. At that time, I've thought that he is going to be my groom instead of my cultivation master..."

"Why did you have such a thought?" Saintess Beitang Fang gasped with surprise.

Saintess Sheng Feiyan giggled, "The marriage custom in my region is 13 year old, that's why. But this stupid Shen Lie, he didn't even touch me until I've become a saintess and that is 400 years later…"

Saintess Qian Yufeng was also sighing, "Actually, I have to admit that I am always interested in Shen Lie. He doesn't want us to call him master so I've though that he wanted to have me as his consort… but he…"

"He is too obsessed with his Carnation Goddess Painting," Saintess Beitang Fang sighed heavily.

Saintess Sheng Feiyan frowned, "What Carnation Goddess Painting? That is his Carnal Goddess Painting, you know! I am never going to pose for him again. He can dream on!"

Saintess Qian Yufeng said quietly, "What if Shen Lie has an unspeakable reason that he did not want to let us know? You know that Shen Lie is easy going and he has never scolded us no matter what in the past. Only when it comes to the Carnation Goddess Painting, he refuses to let us know a thing."

Saintess Beitang Fang was also nodding, "I feel that this is really suspicious too. And he even needs 7 saintess to complete that Carnation Goddess Painting."

"I have taken a peek at the Carnation Goddess Painting that he had drawn in the past," Saintess Sheng Feiyan had suddenly lowered her voice to whisper.

"You did?!" The other 2 holy saintesses gasped with surprise.

Saintess Sheng Feiyan nodded slowly, "There are many profound arrays that he had infused in it. But he quickly destroyed it when he saw me peeking at me."

"This is indeed highly suspicious," Saintess Beitang Fang slowly said.

Saintess Qian Yufeng began to mutter, "I wonder why…"

Shen Lie had heard them because he had extrasensory hearing and as he walked in, he began to frown unhappily. "Stop speculating. I won't tell the three of you."

The 3 holy saintesses were startled as they did not know that Shen Lie was here.

Shen Lie smiled, "But it is good that the 3 of you are able to get along well with one another, just like the good old days."

Saintess Sheng Feiyan smiled to Shen Lie, "I tell you a good piece of news. To you, it may be a good piece of news."

Shen Lie gave her a surprise look, "Oh?"

Saintess Sheng Feiyan hummed coldly, "We have just received word that that slut Qi Keqin is now on her way to my holy land. Are you surprise?"

Shen Lie was startled, "Qi Keqin is really on her way here?"

Saintess Qian Yufeng gave a disdainful look as she said, "This Qi Keqin called herself the Virtuous Saintess Qi Keqin but she is actually a good pretender. I bet that she must be the one that have struck Shen Lie the hardest and she is probably the one that has cracked Shen Lie's cultivation core."

The other two holy saintesses were both nodding and agreeing with her.

"That's right!"

"Right!"

Saintess Qian Yufeng said unhappily, "Among the other holy saintesses, she has the most number of formidable profound treasures and she never hesitate to use it against us…"

"All the male protégés in her Holy Virtue Palace are brainwashed by her," Saintess Beitang Fang hummed coldly.

Saintess Sheng Feiyan chuckled, "So is that the reason why you enjoy attacking her holy land the most?"

Saintess Beitang Fang smiled wryly, "That is for sure. I simply enjoy watching giving her plenty of troubles and exposing her little schemes. She didn't even dare to kick a fuss when I keep suppressing her. She thinks that she can come to the Holy Carnation Sanctuary to screw the two of you but she will get a big surprise when she sees me in this place."

The other holy saintesses were both giggling jovially when they had thought of the humiliations that the Virtuous Saintess Qi Keqin would face in their holy land.

"I don't believe her at all when she said that she is here to offer her congratulation for the merger of our two holy lands." Saintess Qian Yufeng hummed coldly.

Saintess Sheng Feiyan nodded, "Same here. I bet that she is here to try to persuade us to merge our holy land with hers instead. She is just too cunning. In front of Shen Lie, she is always pretending to be so docile…"

Shen Lie interrupted her weakly, "Actually she is really docile…"

"Shut up, Shen Lie!" The 3 holy saintesses said at the same time.

Shen Lie: …

He began to sigh softly, "Actually I am quite happy that the 3 of you can get along so well now. So I've got something to tell the 3 of you."

The 3 holy saintesses: ???

Shen Lie sighed heavily before saying, "Actually I have purposely allowed my cultivation core to be shattered by the 7 of you. So there is no need to guess who has struck against my cultivation core on purpose."

All 3 of the holy saintesses were shocked and were all gasping at the same time.

Saintess Sheng Feiyan gasped with disbelief, "Shen Lie, do you know what you are saying? Why did you do that for? Are you courting your own death? I've thought that you are looking for the one that shattered your cultivation core for revenge?"

Saintess Beitang Fang and Saintess Qian Yufeng were both in shock as well as they had been accusing one another for the misdeed.

Shen Lie sighed heavily, "It is just an excuse to look for the 7 of you to seek my vendetta. At that time I know that the 7 of you are pretty upset with me. Instead of allowing your heart demon to grow as your rage increases, I've decided to allow the 7 of you to shatter my cultivation core so as to make the 7 of you feel guilty instead. Then I can restart my Carnation Goddess Painting again…"

Then he laughed jovially, "It isn't the first time that I have shattered my cultivation core so don't give me that shock look. I am a cultivator. 100 years is just a blink of an eye for me. Hahaha…"

When the 3 holy saintesses had heard Shen Lie, they felt like fainting on the spot immediately.
