Many of the female elders were actually meditating outside the Great Maiden Sanctuary Hall when something like a dark fireball had suddenly dropped into the scenic lake and polluted it with some filthy stuff.
Everyone was horrified.
"What is this filthy thing and smell?"
"There are blood in there?"
"Is it Shen Lie?"
"Don't be ridiculous. It has to be Shen Lie and can't be our Saintess."
Among them, was also Elder Hua Zixia.
She had actually returned to the entrance of the Great Maiden Sanctuary Hall after the conversation with Fairy Yue Yuwen.
All this while, she was looking extremely uneasy as she was anxious about what Shen Lie would reveal to Saintess Sheng Feiyan.
All of a sudden Saintess Sheng Feiyan had opened the gates of the Great Maiden Sanctuary Hall and she looked even more alluring than before. It was as though there was a divine glow in her countenance now.
As she appeared, she had also pushed out Shen Lie who was muttering incoherently to himself: Feiyan, you didn't wear any panties, your skirt is too short and you are flashing your…
Saintess Sheng Feiyan smiled with a new radiance and she looked particular cheerful. This coupled with her peerless appearance only caused her to appear even more alluring than ever before.
"After interrogating this new outer court protégé for 3 days, I found out that he is really innocent. He had found a minor loophole in our defense array by an accident and had accidentally barged into the inner court. And he has promised me not to repeat this mistake again. As he is new, I shall forgive him…"
Shen Lie was startled: When did I promise not to go into the inner court again?
Even Elder Hua Zixia was stunned: Shen Lie is innocent?! Then I am not going to be punished?!
Even Fairy Yue Yuwen was startled: She is not punishing this Shen Lie? Is it because of the Carnation Goddess Painting?
Saintess Sheng Feiyan chuckled softly, "But of course we are going to punish him…"
Fairy Yue Yuwen thought: So, he is going to be punished after all…
"He shall be given 1 black mark. And he needs to complete 1000 contribution points for the celestial clan free of charge. After he has completed the 1000 contribution points, bring him to me for his performance evaluation." Saintess Sheng Feiyan chuckled for a while before she displayed an alluring smile at everyone.
Shen Lie was thinking: 1 black mark?! How many black marks to be kicked out of the celestial clan? This so terrible. She is so horrible to me…
Elder Hua Zixia and many of the female elders were thinking: 1000 contribution points? This is too insane… he is doomed…
Saintess Sheng Feiyan raised a wry smile as she took a glance at Shen Lie before she said to her female elders, "Take this Protégé Shen Lie away. Make sure that he is always kept busy and ensure that he always have lots of contribution points coming in."
Many of the elders were thinking: Keep the contribution points coming in to this Shen Lie? That mean that he will be given plenty of hard cultivation missions…
But they quickly answered, "Yes Saintess."
Saintess Sheng Feiyan waved her fingers as she dismissed them, "Now go."
As Elder Hua Zixia, Fairy Yue Yuwen and the other female elders took their leave by taking away Shen Lie, Saintess Sheng Feiyan was secretly delighted.
It was because an outer protégé would only get 4 contribution point a month and an extra 1 contribution point for good behavior every month. Therefore, if Shen Lie did not do his missions, then he would need between 200 to 250 months depending on his good performances.
Also, there was never a male cultivator that could be promoted to an inner court protégé. So, he was screwed.
This isn't so hard. Shen Lie, you are saying just now?
Hehe! You're gonna be surprised!
Saintess Sheng Feiyan rolled her golden eyes with delightful bliss as she paced around the steps of the Great Maiden Sanctuary Hall.
There were two things that she had to do.
Firstly, she could not afford to let the existence of Shen Lie be known to the other 6 saintesses.
Secondly, she had to keep Shen Lie in her Holy Maiden Sanctuary as long as possible. At least until she could get pregnant with his child. When that happens, she would have won the title of the Carnation Goddess anyway.
Just thinking of the second part, she was particularly delightful.
Then her phoenix thin eyebrows began to furrow lightly; she now had a love rival in Elder Hua Zixia. And also, she had noticed that Shen Lie was looking at Fairy Yue Yuwen with great interest and he had the intention to make her into a saintess of his stupid Carnation Goddess Painting…
And she also had a most beautiful protégé who was not presented today and she was at the Revolving Core cultivation realm…
They were all her potential love rivals that she must be wary…
All of a sudden, she had a terrible headache as she displayed a not so delighted expression in her countenance.
All of a sudden, she was flushing; it was because she had suddenly noticed that her robe was opened and she had flashed her boobs to everyone…
It was no wonder why Shen Lie was staring at her and not the others. No wonder he was suddenly so docile all of a sudden…
All of a sudden, she was swaying and there was a pain in her abdominal.
Her alluring golden eyes were wide-opened all of a sudden with disbelief…
"I am about to breakthrough to the Sage Saintess cultivation realm?"
She was smiling with great delight, "So he is my heart demon all these years that cause my cultivation to stop at the saintess level. If I can be the first to attain my cultivation to the Sage Saintess level, then won't I be the strongest among the 7 of us?"
"All the more I can't let them obtain Shen Lie or they would all not only become my love rivals but have the possibility of attaining to the Sage Saintess level…"
Then she had made up a new decision; she was not going to ally with Saintess Qian Yufeng of the Verdant Rain Manor anymore. Over her dead body!
