My Celestial Ascension



Yuan came out of the bathroom feeling refreshed, and he saw that his wives had finished dressing themselves in little luxurious attire since they wouldn't be traveling for a while now.

He couldn't help but stare at them momentarily, seemingly charmed by their appearance as they looked absolutely gorgeous in these wonderful clothes. Anna, Grace, and Emma, in particular, had very attractive figures with perfect curves, and the dresses they were wearing didn't compromise showing off their beauty.

As they noticed Yuan staring at them with an open mouth, seemingly lost in their beauty, they couldn't help but feel a sense of happiness, knowing their darling had forgotten everything and was enthralled by their magnificence.

A moment later, Grace curled her lips into a playful smile and called out to him, "Darling...?"

Hearing Grace say his name, Yuan snapped out of his daze and looked at her with a confused expression. "Yes?"

"What do you think? Do we look beautiful in these dresses?" Grace asked, her playful smile eager for his compliment.

"We decided to wear something nice and girly today, since we won't be traveling for the time being. Now we want to know your opinion. So, tell us what you think," Anna added with a smile, the other three girls nodding in agreement.

Yuan took a moment to look at each of them. Anna was wearing a beautiful light blue dress with intricate white designs, perfectly matching her crystal blue eyes and her long, jet-black hair that reached her soft and slender waist.

Grace, on the other hand, was donning a black dress that was slightly revealing, hugging her body perfectly as though it was made just for her. With her seemingly cold expression and ruby-like red eyes, she looked like a fierce beauty, her long snow-white hair flowing down to her waist.

Naturally, Yuan was momentarily taken aback by Grace's dangerous allure, yet he couldn't help but feel the urge to kiss her immediately. However, he knew her heart was kind, and she loved him dearly.

His attention then shifted to Lily, who stood gracefully next to Grace, wearing an ocean-blue dress that flowed to her knees. Her moon-like white pupils and hair with a hint of blue made her incredibly beautiful, and any man would find it hard not to steal glances at her.

Next, his eyes fell upon Emma, dressed in a stunning combination of white and purple. The dress perfectly complemented her appearance, making her look irresistibly attractive.

Lastly, Yuan's gaze landed on Xi Meili, who wore a fiery red dress that perfectly matched her black and crimson hair. She looked absolutely gorgeous, and he couldn't help but be captivated by her.

After taking in everyone's beauty, Yuan met their eyes with a serious expression. Lily, growing impatient, urged, "Just tell us already! You're making us anxious by keeping us waiting."

Chuckling inwardly at her impatience, Yuan thought, 'Big Sis, as impatient as ever. Well, let's not keep them waiting any longer; it's getting late to meet Rose and the others.'

"You all look absolutely stunning; I can't take my eyes off any of you," Yuan sincerely complimented them with a huge smile.

Upon hearing his words, his wives beamed and blushed slightly, as if they had heard the most heartwarming compliment.

A few minutes later, Yuan got dressed himself and said, "Now let's go and meet Madam Layla and the others."

Inwardly, he wondered if Rose had woken up and how she was feeling after the battle. He also couldn't help but think about her well-being, particularly her buttocks, which might be sore from the previous day's events.

"Yes, let's not keep them waiting or they might worry that something happened to us," Anna agreed.

With their spirits lifted and excitement in their hearts, they left the room and headed towards the main hall of the Monroe family estate.

Meanwhile, Madam Layla and her three children, Julie, James, and Ava, were currently sitting outside the Manor, receiving reports from the guards about the current situation of the village.

"Madam Layla, we have collected all the monster corpses and stored them in the warehouse as you instructed for material extraction. Also, the gate was severely damaged during the battle and it needs repairing," one of the guards informed Madam Layla.

"Mother, we need to repair the gate immediately. There are many bandit groups nearby, and we don't have any means to block their entry since the gate is damaged," James said with a serious tone.

"I agree with James. Repairing the gate should be our top priority. It's the only way to defend the village from bandits at the moment," Julie added, supporting her twin brother's suggestion.

"I share the same opinion, Mother," Ava nodded in agreement.

Madam Layla considered their words carefully and then replied, "Let's do that then. We can't afford to risk the villagers' lives above anything else."

Turning to the guard, she continued, "Gather a few craftsmen and tell them to repair the gate as soon as possible. Make sure to guard them while they do their job. There may still be some remnant monsters lingering around. With the news of the Lord of the mountain attacking our village, there's a high chance of bandits attempting to attack us. We can't take such risks."

"Understood, Madam Layla," the guard acknowledged and promptly left to carry out her orders.I think you should take a look at

Madam Layla knew that the news of the Lord of the mountain attacking Pinebrook Village must have spread far and wide. As a result, many bandit groups might be considering an attack, especially under the cover of darkness when the village is weakened.

Since the soldiers, hunters, and mages were currently exhausted and resting, they lacked the necessary strength to resist the bandits. Additionally, Yuan and his wives were also resting, which meant they couldn't rely on them at the moment. Madam Layla couldn't afford to take any chances with the safety of the village.

"Madam Layla, 40 houses have been repaired, and 30 of them still need to be fixed. The craftsmen are quite tired and said they can't finish the work today. Should we arrange tents for the villagers who lost their homes?" Another guard approached Madam Layla with the concern.

Madam Layla pondered for a moment, thinking about the best solution for the situation. She couldn't force the workers to continue without rest, and she also had to ensure the well-being of the people who had lost their houses. They must be heartbroken and hungry after losing their precious homes.

"Tell the workers to take some rest and assign a few men to set up tents for the villagers. Also, provide them with a free meal. Since they have lost their homes, they have nothing to eat and are probably hungry. Make sure that no one goes hungry tonight," Madam Layla gave the order to the guard.

"Leave it to me, Madam Layla. I will make sure everyone has a place to spend the night and a satisfying meal to relieve their hunger," the guard responded before leaving to carry out the instructions.

"Madam Layla, here's the overall damage report," another guard handed her the report.

"Thank you," she acknowledged, taking the report to review the content. The report detailed the extent of the damage caused by the shockwave from the battle. Seventy houses on the outskirts of the village were severely damaged, and over 40 houses received lighter damage and could be repaired. The streets were also cracked, some fissures large enough to swallow a grown man. 

Additionally, it stated that 11 soldiers from the village had lost their lives protecting the village, and more than 30 were injured and currently receiving treatment.

"Mother, we should compensate the family members of the soldiers who died in battle," Ava suggested.

"Naturally, they sacrificed their lives to protect this village, and it's our duty to take care of their family members," Madam Layla nodded in agreement.

Julie chimed in, "How about 1500 gold coins for each soldier? It's a significant sum of money for commoners. What do you all think?"

"I think it's more than enough. It will at least ease some of their worries," James added, considering the pain the families of those soldiers were feeling after losing their loved ones.

"Alright, we will give each family 1500 gold coins as compensation," Madam Layla decided, showing her commitment to supporting the families of the fallen soldiers.

Meanwhile, Yuan and his wives arrived at the living hall of the Monroe family and found it empty, wondering where everyone had gone.

"Oh, esteemed guests! You've woken up. Did you all rest well?" Suddenly, Head Maid Ivy's voice resounded from behind, causing them to turn around.

"Oh, Miss Ivy, we rested well. Thanks for worrying. By the way, where is everyone?" Yuan said to Ivy.

"Madam Layla is currently dealing with some village matters, along with her children, Ava, Julie, and James. And as for Miss Rose, she hasn't woken up yet," Ivy explained.

"I see," Yuan responded.

"Esteemed guests, allow me to inform Madam Layla that you all have woken up. She is outside the manor, so it will only take a minute."

"Alright, you can do so. We will be here," Yuan said to Ivy.

"Very well," Ivy nodded and left the scene.

After Ivy left, Yuan turned to his wives and suggested, "Let's take a seat until Madam Layla arrives."

His wives nodded and settled on the plush sofa next to him.

A moment later, Ivy arrived where Madam Layla was and informed her, "Madam Layla, our esteemed guests have woken up and are currently waiting in the living hall."

Hearing this, Madam Layla was pleasantly surprised, and a smile formed on her lips. She instructed Ivy, "You go and prepare something good for them. They must be feeling hungry by now. I will join them in a minute after finishing this..."

"Oh, by the way, has Rose woken up yet?" Madam Layla inquired.

"No, Miss Rose is still sleeping. Do you want me to wake her up?" 

"No need! Let her sleep for a while. That lass must be very tired for her to sleep this long," Madam Layla said with understanding.
