The Carnation Goddess

Chapter 15 Nangong Shu (1)

?Barely had Shen Lie returned to the outer court when he was informed that he would have his own lodging at the outskirt of the outer court. In other words, a deserted fridge which was not even close to the Holy Maiden Sanctuary at all.

Many of the outer court protégés were now laughing at him and were saying, "This is his punishments…"

Naturally Shen Lie was not someone who was picky and he was glad that he got his own personal space for himself.

Instead, he started to ask Elder Li Hong who was accompanying him back, "Beautiful Elder Li Hong, how much contribution points can I get passively a month?"

As for Elder Hua Zixia and Fairy Yue Yuwen, although they did not accompany him back but both had been discreet in looking at him closely before they left for other matters and were quite startled that there was not a single wound on him; so where did the blood in the filth had come from?

Elder Li Hong smiled, "You will get 4 contribution points as your allowance every month. If you behave good, you will get 1 extra contribution point a month. However, as you just got a black mark, you won't get any extra contribution points for half a year."

Shen Lie: …

Shen Lie: …

Shen Lie: …

"Erm... I can surely gain more contribution points by taking on the sect's missions. Am I right?"

Elder Li Hong smiled, "That's right. But you are still new. After you have mastered your foundations, we will allow you to go for your sect's mission. After all, didn't you hear it yourself that our Saintess want you to start earning your contribution points as soon as possible, as a penance for the Holy Maiden Sanctuary?"

She had suddenly handed over a map to him, "This is only a crude map. Now go to your lodging immediately and clean it out while it is still not yet nightfall. As the place is vacant for some time, you will have a plenty of cleaning work to do."

Shen Lie: …

I need to do my own cleaning?

This is the worst thing that can happen to me…

But as he had no other choice, he was forced to set off immediately because Elder Li Hong had threatened him with an inspection tomorrow.

And if he did not do so then Saintess Sheng Feiyan would not be seeing him again.

Soon he was walking in the airy mountains outside the Holy Maiden Sanctuary; his lodging was actually quite far away and he would probably be the first line of defense against any desolate beasts or enemy cultivators.

All of a sudden, he had spotted a demure maiden walking rapidly through the mountains. She was really breathtaking beautiful and her countenance was coy.

Shen Lie saw that she was wearing an open robe with a one-piece white thin bodice that started from her upper bosoms and ended at her beautiful slender thighs.

The bodice could not hide her beautiful body and he could see her perks being displayed and even her white panties below her short skirt; as this was a one-piece bodice, he could easily pull it off and expose her naked body saved for her panties.

This maiden was actually the Nangong Shu the right protector of Saintess Sheng Feiyan and was a Revolving Core Cultivator. Not only that, she was also in the top 12 extraordinary great beauty list along with Fairy Yue Yuwen.

Shen Lie gasped: Hua Zixia is already astonishing enough but she is actually more astonishing than her. Moreover, she is also as peerless as Fairy Yue Yuwen…

With that he had suddenly popped in front of her and said politely, "This beautiful sister, where are you going? I happen to be a protégé of the Holy Maiden Sanctuary and I can lead the way for you."

Nangong Shu was startled when she saw Shen Lie: What a beautiful man…

But she quickly took a keen look at him and asked wryly with a soft chuckle, "You seem to be new for I have never seen you before. Also, you are an outer court protégé. What is your name?"

Shen Lie blinked as he looked at his robe which was given to him when he had first joined the sect, "I am Shen Lie and I am new. I have just joined the Holy Maiden Sanctuary just 4-5 days ago."

"Do you know who I am?" Teased Nangong Shu.

Shen Lie replied gently with a little excitement, "Such a peerless maiden must have come down from the heavens. I don't think that you are a mortal maiden but a celestial maiden."

Nangong Shu was suddenly coyly flushing, "Nonsense! I am Nangong Shu, the right protector of your Saintess Sheng Feiyan and I have a lofty status in the Holy Maiden Sanctuary. Therefore, as an outer court protégé, you have to pay me your respects."

Shen Lie blinked his eyes, "You are also from the Holy Maiden Sanctuary? And my senior protégé sister?"

"That is right." Nangong Shu smiled coyly. "I am now on my way back from a secret mission for our Saintess. Junior protégé brother, work hard in your cultivation and your future will be boundless. When there is a chance, I will take you to fight the demonic races and the desolate beasts."

Instead of acknowledging her advice, Shen Lie looked a little woeful that she was going off so soon. So he said with a soft sad tone. "It is so sad that my senior protégé sister is leaving so soon. Do you know that you have really such a beautiful delicate legs…"

He was actually trying to say he was imagining the delicate buds of her holy lands between her snow-white slender legs under her short skirt, and the lush grass under her waist would look like. But he had decided to keep these lewd thoughts to himself.

Nangong Shu was slightly startled that Shen Lie had suddenly said his admiration for her and this was the very first time that a male cultivator had dared to say something so ridiculous. Not even the young masters that were courting her dared to mutter such outrageous things to her.

All of a sudden, she saw that Shen Lie had walked next to her and he was inhaling heavily on her scented startled face.

"We may never see each other again after this. I wonder if senior protégé sister will be willing to allow me to look at your legs for just a while?" Shen Lie sighed softly.

As Nangong Shu looked into his eyes, she surprised herself by saying with a deep flush. "Alright but only for a little while… but no touching."

There is no harm in letting this junior brother admired for a while, right?

After all, I'm also a Revolving Core Cultivator as well...

Almost as soon as she had said that out, she had regretted it.

Then Shen Lie had suddenly pulled her away, "Come, let's go into somewhere discreet like the forest over there…"

Nangong Shu was startled, "We are... going somewhere else?"
