My Celestial Ascension

After a few minutes of walking, they finally arrived at the small park at the center of the village. The sight of children playing games in the distance, parents engaged in conversations, and couples happily chatting surrounded them. Some people were simply enjoying the park’s tranquil beauty.

“This place seems to be quite relaxing and beautiful… Rose really created a nice place for the villagers,” Yuan mused inwardly, seemingly lost in thought.

He was surprised by the peace and quiet of this small park, despite its central location in the bustling village.

The absence of cars in this world made the air exceptionally refreshing, enhancing the park’s serene ambiance.

After a brief survey of the surroundings, Yuan noticed an empty bench at a distance, secluded and perfect for private conversations.

“There is an empty bench over there, let’s go and sit there,” Yuan suggested, pointing towards the vacant spot.

“That place looks quite peaceful, and there’s no one around in the vicinity. It’s indeed a suitable place for us to relax and enjoy the view while we talk,” Julie remarked as she followed Yuan’s pointing finger.

“Let’s go and sit over there, or someone might take that spot. It’s a popular spot for couples in the afternoon,” Ava added, aware of the park’s popularity among lovers.

They made their way to the bench, with Yuan sitting in the middle, Ava on his left, and Julie on his right, their shoulders touching. As their shoulders made contact, both Ava and Julie’s faces began to turn red.

Over the next couple of hours, they engaged in conversations about life and their experiences. Yuan shared his journey from Clover Town to Pinebrook Village, describing the dangers he encountered along the way.

Although his experiences weren’t extraordinary, his wives listened intently, drawing closer to him as they gained insight into his life.

Ava and Julie also recounted their experiences within the same two hours, sharing stories of their childhood and other aspects of their lives, carefully omitting the embarrassing moments.

They couldn’t bring themselves to reveal those anecdotes to Yuan, fearing the embarrassment it would cause.

As they shared their stories, Yuan listened attentively, deepening his understanding of both women. He discovered Julie’s mischievous nature from her childhood, which had persisted to some extent.

After spending more time talking, Yuan found himself growing fonder of Ava and Julie. His feelings for them grew significantly, particularly since he had already agreed to marry them, as per Madam Layla’s arrangement.

Both Ava and Julie possessed an unparalleled beauty that rivaled even the most famous stars on Earth.

A few moments later, Ava and Julie looked at Yuan with loving gazes, their eyes filled with anticipation, as if they couldn’t wait to hug him tightly and shower him with kisses.

“Yuan, after hearing our stories, do you find yourself liking us, perhaps even falling in love with us?” Ava asked with an anxious voice, her nervousness palpable.

“Tell us, Yuan, we really want to know how you feel about us after spending time with us. We really want to be with you, Yuan,” Julie said with an anxious voice, eager to know his answer.

Yuan looked at them, observing their anxious faces and the tone of their voices, understanding their anticipation. He thought, ‘It seems that they can’t wait to know my answer, but it wouldn’t be fun just telling them directly that I’m starting to like them.’

After a moment of contemplation, Yuan decided, ‘How about I keep them in suspense for a while and tell them at the end of the date? It will be a surprise for them… Let’s do it like this.’

“Yuan, don’t keep us in suspense, just say something…” Julie said impatiently and nervously.

“This… How about I tell you this at the end of our date? In my opinion, that’s the best moment to tell you about how I feel,” Yuan replied in an awkward voice, inwardly smiling.

“This…” They both fell silent for a moment after hearing his words. Ava and Julie exchanged a look, and Ava finally said, “Alright, we will wait for your answer then, at the end of our date.”

They spent a few more minutes talking and making jokes. A while later, Yuan suggested, “We’ve spent much more time than expected. Let’s eat something good in a restaurant.”

“I agree; that’s a wonderful idea. Let’s go,” Julie quickly agreed, her hunger finally surfacing after being silent about it due to embarrassment.

“I also agree, Yuan. To tell you the truth, I’m actually feeling a bit hungry,” Ava admitted bashfully.

Yuan chuckled and said, “Alright, alright, I know you two were hungry. There’s no need to be embarrassed. Let’s go to a restaurant now, shall we?”

“Hmph! We’re not embarrassed at all; you’re seeing things wrongly,” Julie pouted and looked elsewhere, trying to hide her blushing face.

‘Ahhh! This is so embarrassing! I want to dig a hole and hide myself…’ Julie cried inwardly.

‘Yuan is really bullying us now…’ Ava thought inwardly, bashfully.

“Well, whatever…” Yuan chuckled and shook his head. He then took the initiative to hold their hands, causing both girls to feel extremely delighted and blush slightly. Together, they left the park and headed toward the restaurant.

Some time later, Yuan, Ava, and Julie arrived at the same restaurant where he had a meal before, the ‘Roasted Boar Shop,’ one of the best restaurants in Pinebrook village.

“Oh, this restaurant… It’s the one that big sis and mom like to visit occasionally. I heard that the pork they serve is extremely delicious and tender with lots of juice inside the meat. And also, it’s one of the best restaurants you can find in our Pinebrook village,” Julie said to Yuan with excitement before entering.

“Welcome to the Roasted Boar Shop… Uh, aren’t you the one who came with Eldest Miss Rose before? Yuan, was it?” The receptionist immediately recognized Yuan as he had previously made a custom order for a fine meal.

“Uh?” Ava and Julie stared at Yuan with surprised looks on their faces; they didn’t expect the receptionist to know him.

“Indeed, and please arrange a table for three.”

“Understood, please follow me,” the receptionist replied, leading them to a private room where they could enjoy a private meal, free from disturbances.

“Here’s the menu, Young Master Yuan,” the receptionist said, handing the menu to Yuan. Yuan ordered a few of the restaurant’s most popular dishes for himself, a choice that didn’t surprise Ava and Julie, who were well aware of his hearty appetite.

“Ava and Julie, please order whatever you like. I’ll cover all the expenses,” Yuan said, passing the menu to them. Shyly, they took the menu and ordered some of the dishes they had heard locals praise.

After taking their orders, the receptionist and a few servers left the scene. Some time later, they returned to the table, each carrying dishes in their hands.

“Here’s your order, good sir, please enjoy your meal,” the receptionist said, making a small bow before leaving the room with the servers.

Yuan gazed at the freshly cooked dishes on the table, emitting an alluring and delicious aroma, and suggested, “Ava and Julie, let’s eat while the food is still hot, shall we?”

“Definitely, let’s eat,” both Ava and Julie said in unison, their mouths watering as the delightful scent filled their noses.

With that, Yuan, Ava, and Julie wasted no time and began savoring their meal.

“Oh my, this meat is really as delicious as people say. I’m quite liking it,” Julie remarked after swallowing a mouthful of boar meat. The meat was tender and scrumptious, and she couldn’t seem to get enough of it, continuing to indulge.

“I couldn’t agree more, Julie. This meat is absolutely delicious. No wonder Mom and big sis visit this restaurant so often,” Ava exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with delight as she, too, continued to enjoy her food. ．

‘They seem to be enjoying the food here as well…’ Yuan chuckled inwardly as he watched Ava and Julie eat with excitement. He, too, continued to savor his meal, cleaning his plate after plate.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, four horses pulled a luxurious carriage at full speed. Four soldiers on horseback, wearing silver armor, guarded the carriage both at the front and back, protecting it from any potential threats as they continued their journey.

Inside the luxurious carriage sat a middle-aged man and three other individuals, all in relaxed postures on the comfortable seats.

Knock! Knock!

Suddenly, a knocking sound echoed on the carriage’s window.

One of the individuals, a beautiful woman in her prime, addressed the middle-aged man, saying, “Lord Ivan, someone is knocking on your window; perhaps it’s an emergency.”

Lord Ivan quickly opened the window and saw that one of the soldiers accompanying them had knocked.

“What is it? Is there some kind of emergency ahead?” Ivan asked the soldier.

“No, my lord. It’s going to get dark soon, and we won’t reach Pinebrook village anytime soon. So, we plan to set up camp at a safe location. Are you okay with it?” The soldier explained the situation to Lord Ivan.

“How long will it take to reach Pinebrook village if we don’t stop?”

“My Lord, if we continue without stopping, we will arrive at Pinebrook village by tomorrow morning. However, if we continue, the horses are exhausted and need some rest to recover. Additionally, the road ahead is dangerous at night. It’s best for us to set up a camp,” the soldier advised.

After considering for a moment, Lord Ivan instructed the soldier, “Alright, make a stop at a safe location and set up camp.” With that, Lord Ivan closed the window.
