My Celestial Ascension

In the Monroe family’s living hall, Yuan and his two mothers, Anna and Grace, his elder sister, Lily, and his two beloveds, Emma and Xi Meili, were seated on the plush sofa, enjoying the comfort as they waited for Madam Layla and others to arrive.

“Hey Mom, How long do you think we should extend our stay in this village? We also need to reach the capital,” Yuan’s voice resounded, pondering about extending their stay to get to know Rose, Ava, and Julie better, as he would soon be taking them as his wives.

The girls looked at him for a moment after hearing his question, unsurprised by it as they had already discussed the possibility of extending their stay, but not for how long.

A minute later, Emma looked at Yuan with a smile and said, “Well, I think we should extend our stay for at least a week. Building relationships takes time, and currently, you know almost nothing about Ava, Julie, or Rose. Extending our stay will give you a chance to get to know them better.”

“I agree with Emma. Her reasoning is quite plausible. We can’t rush into this matter, considering how different we are from them and the uniqueness of our relationships,” Anna added, her voice sounding serious towards the end of her sentence.

Indeed, they were very different from the people in this world. Being cultivators capable of defying the world, they possessed a rare and sought-after power that nobody else in this world had ever seen or heard of. This made revealing their prowess a delicate situation.

In this world, mages and knights were the norm, each mage with a different attribute that made them unique. Even mages with the same elements had distinctly different magic, except for the high-ranking spells they used.

Grace nodded in agreement and said, “Yes, we can’t reveal our secrets to them just yet, except for Rose. She is different from her sisters.” 𝙚𝙙𝙤𝒗𝒆𝒍．𝒄𝙤𝙢

“I agree. She has a straightforward nature, and I have a feeling we’ll get along really well,” Emma said, smiling.

“I have no doubt she’ll make a perfect wife for you, dear. Don’t you all agree?” Anna chimed in with a warm smile.

The others nodded, showing their agreement with Anna’s sentiment. They were all looking forward to getting to know Rose better and building stronger connections with her and her sisters.

“I don’t know that, but she seems to be quite trustworthy from what I can see, and above all, she is true to her heart, except for her overly shyness,” Lily said, nodding in agreement.

“Alright, it’s settled then. We will extend our stay in this village for a week. During that time, I’ll try to get to know them as much as possible. And when I feel they are ready to learn the truth about everything, I’ll personally tell them. But I want all of you to be present when we talk about our secrets with them, is that okay?” Yuan suggested.

“That’s a wonderful idea, dear. I think it’s best to be honest with them when the time is right,” Anna nodded in approval.

However, Yuan’s only worry was how Rose and her two sisters would react once they learned about his relationship with his two mothers.

‘I hope they won’t be disgusted with me after learning the truth that Anna and Grace are not my wives, but my mothers,’ Yuan thought inwardly.

‘Well, that’s not my problem now… It’s future Yuan’s problem,’ he assured himself inwardly, trying to focus on the present.

As Yuan was lost in his thoughts, the head maid Ivy returned and informed them, “Esteemed Guests, I have informed Madam Layla that you all have woken up from your sleep. She will be here shortly.”

Yuan and his wives nodded in acknowledgment.

“Esteemed Guests, you all must be feeling quite hungry since you haven’t eaten anything besides yesterday’s dinner, right? Well, Madam Layla has specially ordered me to prepare a sumptuous meal for you all. I will go and freshly prepare the meal for you,” Ivy said professionally.

“That will be wonderful, Miss Ivy,” Yuan replied with a smile.

“I’m getting excited just thinking about all the delicious food!” Xi Meili chimed in, her eyes sparkling with anticipation, as though she were a kid with food dreams.

The girls couldn’t help but chuckle at Xi Meili’s excitement, jokingly thinking that she might be planning to empty out the entire Monroe family’s ration.

“I will excuse myself then,” Ivy said and left the scene to prepare a delicious meal for them.

Some time later, they heard footsteps, and Madam Layla returned with Ava, Julie, and James following behind her. Upon laying her eyes on Yuan and his wives, Madam Layla smiled and greeted them, “Good afternoon to you all. I suppose you all had a good time resting, yes?”

“Naturally, we all had a good rest and now feel perfectly fit,” Yuan replied with a smile.

“I’m delighted to hear that, my son-in-law…” Madam Layla said, causing both Ava and Julie to blush.

Yuan and his wives were seemingly surprised by Madam Layla addressing Yuan as her son-in-law since he hadn’t married any of her daughters yet. How could he become her son-in-law without marrying her daughters?

‘This woman is really a vicious cunning fox in disguise. My dear hasn’t married her daughter yet, and she’s already calling him her son-in-law! What kind of logic is that? This is ridiculous!’ Anna thought inwardly.

‘Just as I thought, this woman is really bad for my darling… I wonder what kind of cunning plan she has in store for us…’ Grace thought to herself.

Madam Layla noticed the puzzled expressions on Yuan and his wives’ faces and asked in confusion, “What’s with those puzzled faces? Did I say something wrong?”

Yuan shook his head and explained, “Well, it’s nothing. We’re simply confused by hearing you suddenly call me your son-in-law since I haven’t married your daughters yet, that’s all.”

“Hahaha, it’s simple. Since you’ve agreed to take my daughters as your wives, you practically become my son-in-law in that moment, albeit a future son-in-law,” Madam Layla said with a laugh.

She then turned to her two daughters, Ava and Julie, and playfully said, “What are you two doing back there? Why don’t you greet your future husband? Or are you two feeling shy now?”

“Mother!” Ava and Julie both exclaimed with flustered faces, feeling embarrassed in front of their future husband.

A moment later, Ava and Julie approached Yuan and his wives and greeted them with flushed faces, and Yuan and his wives returned the greeting.

However, they were a little surprised to witness both Ava and Julie acting shy today, considering that last night, they had kissed Yuan on the cheeks boldly without feeling any shyness. It was as though they were seeing a totally different side of the two sisters.

‘Aren’t those two the ones who kissed Yuan so boldly in front of everyone on the cheek? Why are they acting shy now?’ Lily thought, feeling a little confused.

Some time later, as they were having a chit-chat, an idea came into Madam Layla’s mind, and her lips curved into a playful smile.

‘Since Rose hasn’t woken up yet, how about I let Yuan wake her up from her sleep?’ Madam Layla thought inwardly, glancing at Yuan momentarily.

‘That smile… I’m sure she must be planning something… I wonder what she’s up to this time?’ Anna thought to herself, noticing the mischievous smile on Madam Layla’s lips.

‘That smile looks troublesome to me…’ Grace also noticed the playful expression.

A minute later, Madam Layla turned to Yuan and said, “Yuan, since Rose hasn’t woken up yet, how about you go to her room and wake her up?”

‘I can’t imagine the face Rose will make seeing Yuan in her room…’ Madam Layla thought, amused by the idea.

Upon hearing this, Yuan was surprised, seemingly in disbelief. He didn’t expect Madam Layla to ask him to go to her daughter’s bedroom while she was still asleep. What kind of parent would make such a request to a male guest?

‘Isn’t this a wonderful chance for me to get close to Rose?’ Yuan thought inwardly, realizing the opportunity that Madam Layla was presenting to him.

A smile appeared on Yuan’s face, realizing that his future mother-in-law was creating a path for him to get closer to Rose. How could he, as a man, pass up on such an opportunity?

“Darling, this is your chance to get close to Rose, don’t miss it,” his mother Grace whispered into his ear with a playful smile.

“Of course not, how could I miss such a chance?” Yuan replied with a smile.

Grace nodded, pleased with her son’s response.

“Very well, I will go and wake her up,” Yuan said to Madam Layla with a smile.

“Good,” Madam Layla nodded. She then turned to Ava and said, “Ava dear, how about you guide your future husband to your sister’s room?”

“Understood, Mother,” Ava nodded.

“Mr. Yuan, this way please…” Ava gestured for Yuan to follow her as she led him to her sister’s room.

“Okay…” Yuan nodded and followed her lead.

‘I hope big sis won’t be mad at me later for showing Mr. Yuan her room… She can get quite scary when she’s angry…’ Ava thought inwardly, feeling a bit anxious about Rose’s potential reaction.
