The Carnation Goddess - Chapter 62 The Great Banquet
In the great hall at the outer court of the Holy Maiden Sanctuary, hundreds of leaders and representatives of the various celestial clans had gathered to offer their congratulation messages to Saintess Sheng Feiyan and Saintess Qian Yufeng.
Today was the grand banquet that marked the merger of the two holy lands of the Holy Maiden Sanctuary and the Verdant Rain Manor.
At this moment, only Saintess Sheng Feiyan was presented at this banquet and it seemed that Saintess Qian Yufeng was late.
Saintess Sheng Feiyan was actually still unhappy that Shen Lie was in her abode the entire night as reported by Nangong Shu to her and she was silently cursing Qian Yufeng almost constantly.
Shen Lie was given 3 days of break as the same as all the trainee protégés that went for the experiential training and he was not presented here.
But even if Shen Lie did not have a break, Saintess Sheng Feiyan did not want him to be here as he may attract too much of an unwanted attention.
There were hundreds of leaders and representatives that had gathered for this day and many of them were excited to have a chance to meet the two holy saintesses. Most of them had already arrived days ago and were just waiting for this day.
Currently, they were not able to see Saintess Sheng Feiyan in full view yet as there were many curtain views in front of the throne seat; they could only see her shadowy figure and her attendants that were by her side.
However this did not damper their moods because there were two beautiful maidens that had caught the imagination of the men here; they were the Han Quechan the protégé sect leader of the Purity Lofty Peaks and Song Xincheng the Lunar Maiden from the Divine Lapis Sect.
Today both Han Quechan and Song Xincheng were both dressed in a tight revealing attire and the men were purposely toasting them as they watched them.
Han Quechan was very beautiful and she had a slim figure; she was also one of the 30 great beauties of the Fenghua Great Continent. Her beautiful eyes were coyly and her lips were rosy red. There was a certain charm in her that could cause the men to have an indescribable rush to pull her to them and to bang her as she displayed her coyly doll look.
As for Song Xincheng, she had a fuller figure and she was very fair so much that she looked white. Also, she was extremely beautiful and she was one of the 12 most beautiful great beauties of the Fenghua Great Continent. Although she was already married and already had a one year child but it was impossible to tell her from the other young maidens.
Her dressing was so tight that the men could see her curvy big bosoms and her nipples protruding from her slim bodice.
There were many men in this place that had wanted to pull down her top bodice and to admire her white full breasts.
An old man had suddenly approached Song Xincheng and he was smiling.
When the rest of the cultivators saw this old man, they were immediately respectful and they quickly toasted to him before moving out of his way; it was because this old man was the former sect leader of this place before he ceded the place to Holy Saintess Sheng Feiyan.
This old man was none other than Xifang Bai and he was the one that had instructed Shen Lie on how to be a depraved person.
Because of his lofty position in the Holy Maiden Sanctuary, he was given the title of grand elder in the Holy Maiden Sanctuary and all the cultivators that came to the Holy Maiden Sanctuary had to pay him some form of a humble respect.
Song Xincheng was startled when she saw him but she was smiling and looked honored, “Senior Xifang Bai, it is my honor to meet you.”
Xifang Bai laughed softly, “Maiden Song Xicheng is indeed a most beautiful maiden. It is my honor to meet you today.”
As he said that, he was prepared to leave but not before he had discreetly put a slip of paper into Song Xincheng’s hands.
Song Xincheng was startled as she quickly took a look at this slip of paper and was startled that it read: Murong Jinshan. Come meet me outside.
She had immediately turned pale; how did this old man know of her affair with Murong Jinshan?
At the same time Xifang Bai had also greeted Han Quechan and had slipped her the same piece of paper with the same exact message.
Han Quechan had also turned pale and she was looking at the back of Xifang Bai.
When Xifang Bai had exited out of the great hall, Han Quechan and Song Xincheng had also followed him.
Now Fairy Yue Shuwen was also at the great hall with Elder Hua Zixia, Elder Li Hong and the rest. Only Nangong Shu was behind the curtain veil with Saintess Sheng Feiyan.
It did not escape her notice that Song Xicheng and Han Quechan had followed Xifang Bai to the outside and she was immediately curious.
Naturally she knows that both Song Xicheng and Han Quechan had an affair with her Uncle Murong Jinshan but why were they following Xifang Bai?
Quietly, she began to leave the great hall as well.
At this moment, the attention of everyone was actually on the curtain veil as the beautiful dark form of Saintess Qian Yufeng had suddenly appeared; when she had appeared, it was also a signal that the grand banquet would soon begin.
Everyone was wondering when the curtain veils would be pulled part so that they could finally appraise the astonishing great beauty of the two holy saintesses and their enchanting looks.
When Saintess Sheng Feiyan saw Saintess Qian Yufeng, she began to murmur almost incoherent. “So you have finally decided to come. You must have a most pleasant time in your abode last night.”
Qian Yufeng who was still looking flushed from last night quickly said, “Of course not! I have a most horrible time last night. Heh!”
Saintess Sheng Feiyan threw Saintess Qian Yufeng a look of disbelief as she looked at the flushed look that was on her; as in the past, whenever Qian Yufeng was telling a lie, she looked flushed and she appeared to be even more so today.
And what was wrong, she was giggling to herself and looked so bliss!
It was as though she had surrendered her chastity to Shen Lie last night!
Saintess Sheng Feiyan took a secret glance at Nangong Shu who was also appearing flushed; from Nangong Shu, she had heard that Shen Lie was in Saintess Qian Yufeng’s abode for almost the entire night.
She sighed softly before saying to Saintess Qian Yufeng, “Now that you are here, we can start the grand banquet now, right?”
Saintess Qian Yufeng laughed as she looked unusual coyly, “By all means do so.”
