The Villain has Perished

Chapter 99 Beitang Fang's Feud with Shen Lie

Saintess Beitang Fang inhaled softly as she looked at the direction where Shen Lie had just stepped forward, "So, you are really here…"

Saintess Sheng Feiyan quickly raised her voice to interrupt Saintess Beitang Fang as she addressed her protégés, "All of you may leave immediately except for this Protégé Shen Lie. I'm going to punish him for interrupting my talks with the Holy Saintess Beitang Fang."

Then she quickly sent a divine whisper to Saintess Beitang Fang: Let's talk privately and show me a little face, alright?

Even Saintess Qian Yufeng was secretly sending Saintess Beitang Fang the same secret divine whisper: Let's talk elsewhere on our own.

Saintess Sheng Feiyan then pointed and said aloud to Shen Lie, "You there. That protégé that calls yourself Shen Lie. Come with us to receive your punishments."

Shen Lie: …

Very soon Saintess Sheng Feiyan, Saintess Qian Yufeng, Shen Lie and Saintess Beitang Fang were in the inner palace of the Holy Carnation Palace.

As for Fairy Xiang Yun and Yao Chi, Saintess Beitang Fang had told them to wait for her outside.

This order puzzled both Fairy Xiang Yun and Yao Chi.

And Fairy Xiang Yun was the most surprise because she had recognized this Shen Lie as Lie Shen and she had her orders to kill him.

As for Fairy Yue Shuwen, Nangong Shu, Elder Hua Zixia, they were also waiting anxiously outside for any news.

As soon as Shen Lie was alone with the 3 holy saintesses, he began to grin to Saintess Beitang Fang. "Fang'Er, we have finally met again after such a long time."

Saintess Beitang Fang displayed a disdain look at Shen Lie as she said coldly, "I just know that you didn't die yet. How didn't you die after all these years?"

Shen Lie laughed softly, "That is because I've missed you so I can't die yet."

Saintess Beitang Fang: …

Saintess Qian Yufeng, Saintess Sheng Feiyan: …

Shen Lie pointed out, "If you don't miss me as well, then why are you here?"

Saintess Beitang Fang said coldly to him, "I've come to kill you, that's why."

Shen Lie asked, "Then why didn't you take action against me?"

Saintess Beitang Fang coolly said, "That is because I am unsure if you have regained your cultivation strength. If I can't kill you then the one getting killed is myself. Therefore, I am not taking the risk…"

"This Beitang Fang is always full of shitty excuses," Saintess Sheng Feiyan interrupted coldly.

"I bet that the one that crippled Shen Lie's cultivation core is actually her," Added Saintess Qian Yufeng.

Saintess Beitang Fang ignored them and asked Shen Lie instead, "So, what are you doing in this place?"

Shen Lie grinned, "Of course it is to complete my Carnation Goddess Painting. I have the intention of completing it this time."

When he had said that, all 3 holy saintesses were sheepishly looking at one another.

Saintess Beitang Fang adjusted her beautiful golden robe as she said to Shen Lie, "I am now a holy saintess of a holy land now and not the Fang'Er that you know 100 years ago. Do you think that I will be willing to strip like in the past? I am not going to let you humiliate me ever again. So, forget about it, Shen Lie."

Shen Lie looked a little shocked, "Fang'Er, you don't want to be my Carnation Goddess anymore?"

Saintess Beitang Fang laughed softly as she looked at Shen Lie intently, "Yes. I've come to tell you today that I am not going to pose for your Carnation Goddess Painting anymore. Also, I will not only hunt you down but my Saintess Palace will also be hunting you down as well."

Shen Lie looked startled, "Erm, why the sudden hostility? This is so unlike you, Fang'Er."

Saintess Beitang Fang hummed coldly, "The other holy saintesses did not know your dark secret, am I right?"

Shen Lie frowned, "What dark secret?"

Saintess Beitang Fang: …

Saintess Qian Yufeng, Saintess Sheng Feiyan: ???

They asked almost at the same time, "What dark secret?"

Saintess Beitang Fang turned to say to the two holy saintesses, "100 years ago, I should have killed you but I guess that I was too soft back then to kill you. I shouldn't have called you the Grand Sage Saint Shen Lie. Rather, I should call you the Great Demon Heretic Lord Shen Lie instead."

Shen Lie: …

"When did I have such a title?"

Saintess Beitang Fang coldly said to him, "You really think that I do not know about your dark secret? I saw you playing chess with the supreme demonic monarch that day. Don't tell me that you do not know that the demonic races are humanity's sworn enemies?"

Saintess Qian Yufeng and Saintess Sheng Feiyan were both startled, "Shen Lie is playing chess with humanity's enemy?"

Shen Lie frowned, "This isn't what you think it is…"

Saintess Beitang Fang interrupted Shen Lie as she said to the other two saintesses, "If the 3 of us join hands together, we can kill Shen Lie and save humanity. Or are the two of you willing to be slaves of this sex fiend Shen Lie?"

Saintess Sheng Feiyan protested immediately, "I am not Shen Lie's slave. He is my slave."

Saintess Beitang Fang: …

Saintess Qian Yufeng: …

Shen Lie: …

He muttered weakly, "Feiyan, I'm never your slave."

Saintess Sheng Feiyan said with some exasperations, "That is not the point. Shen Lie, did you really play chess with the demonic races' supreme demonic monarch?"

Shen Lie laughed weakly but he admitted, "Yes I did but is there anything wrong about this?"

Saintess Beitang Fang said angrily, "Is there anything wrong with it? The demonic races killed my parents and my entire village! You promised me to avenge me! Have you forgotten about it?"

Shen Lie looked tenderly at Saintess Beitang Fang, "I didn't forget about it. There are bad and good demonic cultivators. For your parents' death, I had long killed the killers and even wiped out the entire demonic cultivation sect. However, my movement is too big to be unnoticed by the supreme demonic monarch and hence, we had decided to settle our feud over a game of chess that day."

Saintess Beitang Fang was startled as she took a step backward, "Is… this true?"

"Fang'Er, you know that I don't lie and I am incapable of lying, right?" Shen Lie said tenderly to Saintess Beitang Fang.

Saintess Beitang Fang looked back at Shen Lie with bleary eyes and she was trembling uncontrollably, "My parents… and my village… are already… avenged… what have I been doing all these years…"
