My Celestial Ascension

As Ava led Yuan to her sister Rose’s room as per her mother’s order, Ava suddenly looked at Yuan and asked, “Well, by the way, Mr. Yuan, since the wyvern was defeated and the threat has been eliminated, how long are you planning to stay in our village?”

The question had been on her mind since her mother announced that she and her sisters would become Yuan’s future wives. Ava wondered how long he intended to stay here.

‘I hope he will stay longer. I want to spend some time with him to understand each other better for the future. And also, I have to get along with his other wives as well…’ Ava thought inwardly.

A moment later, Yuan replied, “Well, I discussed this matter with the girls, and we decided to stay in this village for a week.”

“Really?!” Ava’s eyes sparkled with excitement upon hearing this.

‘Great! Just what I wanted to hear! In this week’s time, I’ll do anything to get close to him and his other wives, especially his other wives. If they dislike me, Yuan will probably not accept me as his wife.’ Ava thought with determination to become Yuan’s wife.

She now had one week to understand each other better and to get close with his other wives. His other wives were the key to winning Yuan’s heart. At first, she was only attracted to his handsome face, but now she had truly fallen in love with him and wanted to become his wife.

“Truthfully, we were planning to continue our journey to the capital today when we first came to this village. However, after getting engaged to your sisters, we changed our plan and decided to extend our stay for a week to get to know each other better. A relationship isn’t a simple matter; it needs trust and understanding to thrive,” Yuan explained as they made their way to Rose’s bedroom.

“I agree. A relationship without trust and understanding can’t last long, as it will soon crumble like a castle made of sand with the slightest touch of the waves of the ocean. Which is why I also want to understand you more, Yuan,” Ava said with a gentle smile, looking at him with a passionate gaze, like a girl looking at her beloved.

‘She isn’t adding the “Mr.” part while addressing me, I guess she really has fallen for me, huh? Well, either way, it’s great…’ Yuan thought, a bit surprised by the way Ava addressed him.

‘I’ve truly fallen in love with you, Yuan. And I want to spend each day with you… But for now, I have to hold back these feelings…’ Ava thought inwardly.

“So do I…” Yuan nodded.

Hearing Yuan’s reply, Ava’s face flushed red, and a small smile formed on her lips, making her look quite beautiful. ｂ𝚍ｎｏｖ𝚕．ｃｏｍ

“I want to build a healthy relationship with the three of you sisters that will not crumble even in the strongest storm, one that will stand tall like a mountain,” Yuan said to her with a smile on his face, as he gazed into her beautiful brown eyes.

Upon hearing this, Ava couldn’t help but blush even more and wore a radiant smile, as though she was having the best moment of her life and her love for Yuan grew even stronger.

A few minutes later, Yuan and Ava arrived before Rose’s bedroom, which was pretty far away from the living hall. Ava then turned to Yuan and said, “We’re here, Yuan. This is big sister Rose’s room.”

‘So behind this door, Rose is sleeping. I wonder if she is sleeping in her bare skin…’ Yuan thought inwardly.

Ava approached the door and checked if it was locked or not. After confirming it was unlocked, she turned to Yuan and said, “Yuan, the door isn’t locked. You can go inside and wake my sister up. However, I can’t help but imagine the face my sister will make, hehehe…”

Yuan nodded with a smile.

‘I wonder too, how she will react once she sees me inside her bedroom, though.’ Yuan thought inwardly.

“Well then, I will excuse myself now, and please don’t tell big sis that I was the one who showed you her room, okay?” Ava said to him.

“Don’t worry, I won’t mention your name, Ava…” Yuan nodded, thinking about the possibility of Rose playfully spanking Ava’s buttocks.

After Ava left the scene, Yuan turned to the door, and with a light push, it opened. He entered the bedroom of his future wife.

The room was quite normal without much decoration—just a small study table, two chairs, a wardrobe to store clothes, and a huge king-size bed.

He noticed Rose’s dirty clothes scattered around the room here and there, which was quite understandable considering yesterday’s event.

‘She must have been very exhausted since she didn’t even bother to place her dirty clothes in the laundry basket.’ Yuan thought inwardly.

Yuan decides to put those dirty clothes in the laundry basket for her. After placing them in the basket, Yuan fixed his eyes on the king-size bed where Rose was sleeping soundly without caring about the world, as though she hadn’t slept for ages.

He saw that Rose was sleeping half-naked, wearing only a light, thin gown. Her sleeping posture wasn’t anything elegant; instead, it was quite savage, which didn’t match her elegant and professional demeanor he had seen thus far.

After witnessing her sleeping posture, he was surprised, seemingly in disbelief. How could such a woman who acted so professionally sleep like this?

‘I guess… It seems that Rose is not different than any other girl, who acts differently outside and becomes true to herself at home…but I didn’t expect it to be to this degree.’ Yuan thought inwardly.

Yuan shook his head at the sight of his future wife’s sleeping posture, as she was sleeping with her legs and arms wide open, taking almost all the space in the bed. She appeared to be a heavy sleeper, as she hadn’t woken up despite him invading her bedroom uninvited.

Yuan stared at her sleepy face for a moment, and in his eyes, her sleepy face looked very cute. He couldn’t help but let a small smile appear on his face.

‘But she looks very cute with that sleepy face, though,’ he thought inwardly.

After admiring her for a moment, Yuan sat on the side of her bed and wondered inwardly, ‘Should I wake her up now? But she looks so cute that I don’t want to disturb her yet…’

Yuan then stretched his hand and gently caressed her blonde hair with a gentle smile. As her silky smooth hair slipped through his fingers, he felt as though time had stopped for a moment.

Feeling Yuan’s hand running through her hair, Rose woke up from her sleep and slowly opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was Yuan’s smiling face as he stroked her hair.

“Yuan…?” Rose mumbled in a puzzled manner as she saw Yuan’s face after opening her eyes. How could Yuan be in her bedroom?

“Oh, I see… I must still be dreaming, huh? There’s no way it’s real… Hahaha!” Rose mumbled with a sigh, thinking it was just a dream and she was still sleeping. Otherwise, how could Yuan have entered her room when he didn’t even know where her room was?

‘Thank god it’s a dream, I don’t want him to see me like this…’ Rose thought inwardly with a sigh.

Upon hearing Rose’s mumble, Yuan found it quite amusing and struggled to contain his laughter, not wanting to give away the surprise.

‘Pffftt! Dream? So she thinks this is all just a dream, huh?’ he thought inwardly, finding the situation rather entertaining.

An idea sparked in his mind, and he thought, ‘While she believes it’s a dream, why not have a little fun? It’ll be interesting when she realizes it’s all real and not just a dream. Hahah!’

With a gentle smile on his face, Yuan slowly brought his face closer to hers and said in a tender voice, “Rose? I love you…”

Rose blinked in surprise, wide-eyed and almost disbelieving what she heard.

‘He said he loves me… This is just a dream, and besides, I’ll become his wife in real life soon. There’s no need for me to hide my feelings for him anymore, as it’s just a dream. Everything will vanish once I wake up from my sleep,’ she thought inwardly.

But unable to resist the moment, she looked into his eyes with affection, and with a soft voice, she confessed, “I love you too, Yuan. I fell in love with you the moment I saw you that day when you first came to our manor. I suppressed my feelings back then, unsure if I truly loved you, as we hadn’t met before. But now I know I can’t live without you, Yuan.”

Yuan’s smile grew wider, knowing that Rose had deeply fallen in love with him. He then asked with a hint of playfulness, “Then, Rose, may I kiss you?”

‘k-Kiss me…?’ Rose’s heart pounded with mixed emotions as she gazed into Yuan’s eyes. She couldn’t believe the intensity of her feelings and how real everything seemed in this dream.

‘Wait, but what if it’s not a dream? What if it’s real?’ Rose’s mind began to race with doubts and uncertainties.

Yuan’s smile only fueled her confusion. He leaned in closer, his warm breath brushing against her cheek. “Rose, I want to be with you, in dreams and in reality. You’re the one I’ve been searching for.”

Her heart fluttered at his words, and she couldn’t ignore the longing in her own heart any longer. “Yuan, I feel the same way. Whether it’s a dream or not, I love you.”

His eyes sparkled with affection and tenderness. “Then, may I kiss you?”

Her heart skipped a beat, and she felt a shiver of excitement.

“Yes, you may.”

With that, Yuan closed the gap between them, and their lips met in a sweet and passionate kiss. Time seemed to stand still as they lost themselves in the moment.

In that kiss, Rose felt a connection that went beyond dreams or reality. It was a connection that bound their souls together, and she knew that she had found her true love.

As they finally parted, Rose’s cheeks flushed with a mix of embarrassment and happiness. “Wow, that felt so real…”

Yuan chuckled softly, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. “Because it is real, Rose. This is no dream; it’s the start of our journey together.”

Her heart soared at his words, and she knew in her heart that he was right. This was real, and she was ready to embrace it wholeheartedly.

“Yuan, I’m so glad to have found you,” she whispered, her voice filled with sincerity.

He smiled, his eyes reflecting the same love that filled her heart.

“And I’m grateful to have found you too, Rose.”
