My Celestial Ascension

“Please! Do tell me if you’re feeling unwell or discomfort, Miss Rose. If so, I will immediately call the witch doctor to examine you. I can’t bear to see the person I love wholeheartedly in any kind of pain or discomfort,” Henry said to Rose a moment later, as he admired her beauty in this new get-up.

‘Wow, Rose looks even more beautiful in this new get-up. I had no idea that Rose has this kind of taste too. I’m speechless at how good she looks. Is this really the Rose that I love so much?’ Henry cried inwardly as he admired the beauty of his childhood crush. With her hair open and wearing the light dress, Rose appeared to be even more beautiful than he remembered, and at this moment, his desire to have her as his wife grew even more.

‘This idiot…!’ Hearing Henry’s idiotic words, a vein bulged on Rose’s forehead in frustration. But since she had gotten used to his intolerable behavior, she controlled herself and remained calm.

“Thanks for your concern, though. But there’s no need for you to be concerned about my health, Henry,” Rose said with a stern face, not giving him any satisfaction despite his efforts to impress her with his concern.

“Huh?!” Henry immediately came out of his daze and was speechless. How could she not see the effort he was putting in to impress her? Did she not care about his feelings for her at all?

“How could you say that, my dear Rose?! How could I not worry about the person I love the most?! You’re everything to me, Rose…” Henry felt a bit hurt by Rose’s lack of appreciation for his concern, but he remained calm and tried to please her with sweet words, putting on a fake smile. 𝒃𝒆𝒐𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝙤𝒎

“Just shut up, Henry. You know very well that I do not like your sweet words. Or did you perhaps forget it while sleeping with those women you visit daily?” Rose gave Henry a stern look as she confronted him. Honestly, Rose didn’t even want to see his face if it were possible, but alas, that’s not the case here.

Hearing this, Henry and the servant that came along with him made horrified expressions with wide-open eyes, seemingly in disbelief. How did she know about that?

‘Oh, crap! It seems that she knows about that already. But how did she learn about it? I made sure that no one was watching me when I visit them?’ Henry wondered inwardly.

She then continued,” And, Henry, how many times do I have to remind you not to address me in such a manner? Are we even close? I don’t remember being close to you at all!”

Every word that came out of Rose’s mouth stabbed him like an arrow, as though that arrowhead was burning and leaving an after-effect on him.

“Oh my, I never thought you to be that kind of person, Henry. What would happen if your father came to know of this? I can even imagine how furious his face will be…” Suddenly, Madam Layla’s voice resounded from behind, sounding more like mockery than genuine concern, which made Henry’s expression even uglier.

‘Sorry, Henry! I can’t let you have my daughter. In the past, I had the thought of making you my son-in-law, but since I found a much better son-in-law candidate and, above all, Rose really loves him… You can now go and forget about any chance with her, Henry!’ Madam Layla thought inwardly.

In the past, before Yuan and his wives arrived in this village, she was fine with Henry having her daughter in the future. But since Yuan appeared and he even accepted all three of her daughters to be his future wife, how could she let a nobody like Henry have her daughter, especially when Rose seemed to hate him to the core? There was no way she would allow him to approach her daughter now.

A minute later, Henry turned around to face Madam Layla and said, “Oh, believe me, you all must have heard it wrong. I would never do such a shameful deed that will—”

As he turned around, his words got stuck in his throat, and his eyes widened in surprise, seemingly in disbelief when his gaze fell upon five beautiful women who could wage war upon this world with their otherworldly beauty and grace.

Henry was speechless! He couldn’t believe his own eyes at what he was currently witnessing, as though his mind went blank for a moment, not comprehending the situation. Is this even real?

‘So beautiful! Are they the Goddesses people are babbling about recently?’ Henry wondered in his mind, dazed and forgetting everything else at the moment, admiring the beauty of Yuan’s wives.

Not only him, but the servant who came along with him was also stupefied by what he witnessed. His eyes and mouth were wide open in disbelief, as he had never witnessed such beauty in his entire life or even heard about it before.

‘G-Goddesses…. Ahhh, my life has been blessed now, and I can die in peace…’ The servant thought inwardly with a dazed expression.

‘Goddesses! They are indeed Goddesses! Such beauty can’t possibly be possessed by mere mortals like us; it’s impossible. I never thought the rumor turned out to be true; such beauty can only be possessed by the divine…’ Henry thought inwardly, admiring the beauty of the five goddesses before him.

He had heard the rumor about Gods descending from Heaven in their Pinebrook village and blessing the village with their divine presence. At first, he thought it was all just a rumor and nothing else, but now, upon witnessing the otherworldly beauties before him, he believed that the rumor was indeed true.

Henry and the servant continued to stare at Yuan’s wives in a seemingly dazed manner, as though the flow of time had stopped for them momentarily.

“Disgusting! Why are those two idiots starting at us like that? Ewww, it creeps me out.” Xi Meili said with a disgusted face, as though she was about to puke.

“Have they never seen beauty before for them to act like that? Don’t they know any manners, how to treat a lady?” Lily said, seemingly disgusted by their behavior.

“Well, now, you two, there’s no need to worry about it. They probably have never seen women as beautiful as us, and don’t you all agree that they look even more idiotic like this?” Anna said with a smile, stealing a glance at Yuan momentarily.

In return, Yuan merely smiled at his mother Anna. To him, the two idiots before him were insignificant, and he could dispose of them however he wanted if he wished.

However, since they were currently inside the Monroe family house, he couldn’t do anything to them as it would backfire on the Monroe family later if something were to happen to them within the Monroe property.

‘How dare a typical monkey like you have thoughts about my Rose? I will teach you a proper lesson for harassing my Rose for so long, but I’ll do it outside this family’s property.’ Yuan thought inwardly, determined to make anyone suffer who had ulterior motives regarding his wives.

Meanwhile, Grace was staring at the two idiots with a stern look as though she was ready to strike at them at any moment.

“If the two of you try anything funny, I will kill you immediately,” Grace thought inwardly, her expression serious and dangerous.

James was horrified by the serious expression Grace was making, feeling as though his life was in danger at this very moment.

‘I hope that idiot doesn’t offend this dangerous woman at any cost, and if he does, I’m afraid he will be taking a one-way ticket with no return, directly visiting the king of hell personally,’ James cried inwardly, filled with worry.

A moment later, after coming out of his daze, Henry smiled widely and slowly approached Yuan’s wives with a smile on his face and sparkling eyes. He said, “Goddesses! You’re all Goddesses! I’ve never witnessed any beauty of this magnitude before in my life…Or ever heard of before.”

“Please! Allow me to introduce myself, Dear Goddesses! I’m Henry Turner, the son of Harrison Turner, a well-known merchant in this kingdom. And I feel honored to witness your magnificence with my very own eyes, as though my life has been blessed.”

‘This idiot, what is he trying to pull here? I hope he doesn’t do anything that will offend Yuan, or the Turner family will be doomed!’ Rose thought inwardly with a serious expression, well aware of the consequences of offending Yuan.

‘This idiot! Is he trying to commit suicide? Someone, please stop this idiot immediately before he offends that woman!’ James cried inwardly, his expression as though his soul was about to leave his body, remembering the icy glare from Grace earlier.

“I have to stop this idiot immediately before he does something idiotic…” Rose muttered in a low voice, frustration evident in her tone.

She was about to approach Henry and give him a good slap on his face, but suddenly, she felt a hand on her shoulder.

Turning around, she found it was none other than her mother who had stopped her, and she looked at her with a confused expression. Why was her mother stopping her from intervening with Henry?

“Mom, why are you stopping me? Let me go and stop that moron before he does something…” Rose said to her mother, determined to put an end to Henry’s inappropriate behavior.

“I stopped you because I believe they will handle this matter more efficiently,” Madam Layla smiled at Rose and then looked at Yuan’s wives, showing her trust in them.
