The Carnation Goddess

Chapter 124 The Crowded Hallway

Once Shen Lie was in the hallway with Fairy Xiang Yun, he was suddenly drowsy and weak which caused him to lean on Fairy Xiang Yun instead.

This startled Fairy Xiang Yun as she still got many questions to ask Shen Lie.

Shen Lie was actually not pretending to be weak; although he did not use any profound array to be invisible to the Great Heroine Yao Chi and Wang Xiao but he had consumed plenty of his life force energies to create an invisible profound array.

Usually it was of no consequences to him as he was a high level cultivator of the life force cultivation, a lost and forgotten cultivation profound art that was only practiced by him.

That also explained why he could generate plenty of yang essence at the same time which made him superior to all the other men.

And he could also use his life force to nurture saintesses like the 7 holy saintesses.

However, teleporting without a profound array or profound magic circle was an extremely demanding act that required plenty of his life force even if it was only for a short distance. Moreover, he had to also maintain the invisible profound barrier while he teleported with Fairy Xiang Yun.

Taking another person to teleport with him also added to his life force burden.

Moreover, while he had already cultivated back to the Grand Sage Saint but the fact remained that his cultivation core was messy and broken. So, he could not sustain his life force cultivation like before.

This before, was actually a long time ago since he had already broken his cultivation core quite a number of times before he had met the 7 holy saintesses.

The main reason why he had exerted himself was because he did not want to taint Fairy Xiang Yun's eyes with the depraved sexual act of Wang Xiao and the Great Heroine Yao Chi.

That was why he had teleported them out of the room.

Moreover, he had already learnt more than enough who his enemies were.

He muttered silently to himself: Wang Xiao, Yao Chi. I will remember what you've said today…

All of a sudden, he had spotted Elder Li Hong walking into the same room that he had just exited with Fairy Xiang Yun. Accompanying her were Lie Dun and Di Shitian.

Even before they had entered the room, Lie Dun was already putting his hands under her skirt while Di Shitian was squeezing her breasts.

The reason why they had not noticed Shen Lie and Fairy Xiang Yun was because he had teleported to the second level of the hallway and was in a corner.

Shen Lie remembered that room was already occupied by Yao Chi and Wang Xiao. And now Elder Li Hong, Lie Dun and Di Shitian were inside?

He was quite startled that Elder Li Hong was also in cahoots with them.

But by now, he was too exhausted and was in need of a deep sleep to replenish his life force.

Before he had fainted from exhaustion on Fairy Xiang Yun's shoulders, he had mustered a wisp of his life force into Fairy Xiang Yun to protect her.

Fairy Xiang Yun was panicky when she saw that Shen Lie had suddenly fainted on her.

Just as she did not know what to do, Fairy Yue Shuwen and Elder Hua Zixia had appeared alongside the hallway.

"What happened to Shen Lie?" Fairy Yue Shuwen and Elder Hua Zixia gasped with shock at the same time.

Fairy Xiang Yun gasped panicky, "I don't know. He has fainted all of a sudden when… when I walked past him."

There was a flash of disbelief from Elder Hua Zixia and Fairy Yue Shuwen as they quickly checked on Shen Lie.

They were both thinking that Shen Lie was only pretending to faint when he had walked past Fairy Xiang Yun so as to take advantage of her.

But to their dismay, they quickly found that Shen Lie had really faint because the two of them had also secretly pinched him hard as well.

Elder Hua Zixia quickly said to Fairy Xiang Yun, "I'm sorry for the inconvenient. This Protégé Shen Lie is under my charge. Just leave it to me. When he had awakened, I shall send him to you to apologize for this matter."

Fairy Xiang Yun shyly said, "No need. This is but an accident."

She took a look at Fairy Yue Shuwen and asked, "If I am not wrong then you must be Fairy Yue Shuwen. You are indeed as beautiful as a fairy and…"

Then she smiled to Elder Hua Zixia and continued, "And you must be Elder Hua Zixia. With your beautiful looks, you ought to be in the top 12 great beauties of the Fenghua Great Continent."

Elder Hua Zixia laughed softly, "Indeed you are right about us. But unfortunately, the top 12 great beauties ranking are some of the 12 most beautiful maidens like yourself, Fairy Yue Shuwen and Left Protector Elder Nangong Shu. I am far inferior."

Fairy Xiang Yun smiled gently, "But you are really beautiful. I don't think some of the top 12 most beautiful maidens can be compared to you.

Elder Hua Zixia shook her head, "This you are wrong. By the way, Maiden Yu Lingyue and Maiden Song Xincheng are also in the Holy Carnation Sanctuary. They are also in the top 12 most beautiful maidens list. If you have seen them, you won't say this."

Fairy Xiang Yun was startled, "What? Yu Lingyue and Song Xincheng are also here?"

It was not surprising to Fairy Xiang Yun that Yu Lingyue that was here since she was the core protégé of Saintess Qian Yufeng but Song Xincheng was also here?

Elder Hua Zixia smiled wryly, "Maybe you ought to pay them a visit since you are here."

Fairy Xiang Yun smiled, "Maybe. I wonder who the lucky man that could land 1 of the 12 most beautiful maidens in the Fenghua Great Continent as their dao cultivation partner."

Fairy Yue Shuwen and Elder Hua Zixia were also smiling.

"I shall take my leave now," Fairy Xiang Yun said. "Please take care of this man."

With that, she had hastily taken her leave.
