My Celestial Ascension

“Wow! This is such a nice place! It looks so calm and relaxing, and on top of that, there’s a hot spring here…” Julie exclaimed, turning her head left and right, taking in the beautiful and serene atmosphere.

“Indeed. It’s hard to believe such a place exists in real life…” Ava mumbled, her voice filled with awe, her excitement evident.

“Well, what are we waiting for? Let’s get undressed and hop in!” Anna said, quickly starting to undress and placing her clothes in a laundry bucket.

She then showed off her figure to Yuan, teasing him with a flirty smile and a slight shake of her hips, as though trying to seduce him.

Fang Xiaoyan noticed Anna’s behavior and was speechless. She couldn’t believe Anna was openly trying to seduce Yuan in front of everyone.

‘She’s so bold… Unlike me, she doesn’t feel any shame, does she?’ Fang Xiaoyan thought, her cheeks flushing a deep red.

While Fang Xiaoyan was lost in thought, Yuan’s attention was fully drawn to Anna, momentarily mesmerized by her teasing movements.

In a few minutes, everyone else had undressed and was ready to enter the hot spring, excited to enjoy the warm, relaxing water.

Just as they were about to step in, Grace paused, turned around, and asked, “Darling, are you just going to stand there, or are you joining us?”

“Sorry about that… I’m coming!” Yuan quickly undressed and jumped into the water, excitement written all over his face.

For a moment, he forgot Fang Xiaoyan was there and took off every piece of clothing before jumping in, causing her face to flush even more.

‘He’s so shameless! How could he get naked in front of a lady? And how can they get naked in front of a man, even if he is their husband?!’ Fang Xiaoyan thought, clearly flustered and in disbelief.

Feeling too embarrassed to stay, she turned to leave, unable to bear watching them share such an intimate moment.

“Miss Fang Xiaoyan, where are you going? Why don’t you join us? We don’t mind at all—feel free to come in.” Anna said with a smile, trying to persuade her.

‘I should help this old couple a little, maybe give her a chance to get closer to my darling…’ Anna giggled inwardly.

“Are you sure it’s okay for me to join? You seem to be having fun, and I don’t want to ruin that…” Fang Xiaoyan replied, hesitating. She felt embarrassed and conflicted, unsure what to do with the strange feelings swirling in her heart.

“Yes! It’s fine! Come on, it’ll be more fun with you!” Lily shouted before Anna could respond. “Stop standing there and join us already!”

“If you really don’t mind…” Fang Xiaoyan nodded shyly and began undressing, quickly wrapping a white towel from her spatial ring around her body.

Though she wasn’t fully naked like the others, her beautiful, seductive figure and otherworldly face still stood out. Yuan couldn’t help but be mesmerized by her beauty, even though it was his second time seeing her like this.

“You’re so beautiful, Fang Xiaoyan. I’m a little envious,” Julie chuckled, complimenting her with a friendly smile.

“Thank you, I’ll take that as a compliment,” Fang Xiaoyan replied, smiling proudly. As a young Phoenix, she was both proud and humble.

She entered the hot spring slowly, her face shy. The moment her eyes met Yuan’s, her cheeks turned a bright red.

‘What’s happening to me? Why am I feeling like this? I can’t even make eye contact like before. Am I falling for him—No! That’s ridiculous! There’s no way I’m falling for his handsome face!’ Fang Xiaoyan thought, panicking.

Anna and the others chuckled at her shy expression.

‘It seems Fang Xiaoyan is also shy around Yuan. It won’t be long before she falls for his charm,’ Anna thought with a mischievous grin.

After a few minutes in the warm water, Fang Xiaoyan began to relax, and her shyness faded as she started chatting comfortably with them.

“So, Miss Anna and Grace, how did you meet Yuan? I imagine it must’ve been quite romantic, right?” Fang Xiaoyan asked curiously, sneaking a glance at Yuan.

“Hahaha~!” Yuan and his wives burst into laughter upon hearing the question.

“Huh? Did I say something funny? Why is everyone laughing?” Fang Xiaoyan asked, confused by their reaction.

“We’re laughing because Grace and I are his moms. We gave birth to him before becoming cultivators,” Anna explained with a gentle smile.

“That’s right. Back then, we were one person, fused together. So, he calls both of us ‘Mom’ since we both gave birth to him together,” Grace added, her voice filled with pride.

“What?!” Fang Xiaoyan stared at Anna and Grace in disbelief, her eyes wide with shock.

“It’s true. They gave birth to me the same way. We both have two moms,” Lily confirmed.

“Incredible… To think Miss Anna and Miss Grace are Yuan’s mothers and Miss Lily is his big sister… I’m speechless.” Fang Xiaoyan mumbled, still trying to process the surprising information.

It took her some time to digest it all. After chatting with them for a few moments longer, she began to feel more at ease again. They continued talking, with Fang Xiaoyan asking many questions about the outside world.

Yuan’s wives were excited to tell her about their adventures—describing the monsters they fought, the strange places they had visited, and the challenges they faced.

Fang Xiaoyan listened eagerly, her eyes wide with excitement, like a child hearing a thrilling story for the first time.

A few minutes later, Yuan stood up, got out of the hot spring, and dried himself with his Qi before putting on his clothes. His wives followed suit, getting dressed as well. Fang Xiaoyan, however, hesitated, feeling shy about removing her wet towel in front of Yuan.

‘He’s watching me! How am I supposed to get dressed?’ Fang Xiaoyan thought, feeling embarrassed but too shy to expose her body.

Meanwhile, hidden behind a nearby tree, a woman concealed her presence with a dark aura, even masking her scent to avoid detection.

‘Mother-in-law’s plan is working, but she’s still covering herself with a towel—how disappointing…’ Fang Ling sighed inwardly.

She had been keeping an eye on Yuan, his wives, and her daughter ever since they entered the hot spring. Thanks to her advancement to a Divine Beast, none of them could sense her presence.

After becoming a Divine Beast, Fang Ling’s abilities had increased significantly, granting her incredible power and new skills. With her newly acquired abilities, she could completely mask her presence—even a Spirit Sovereign cultivator would struggle to detect her unless she allowed it.

‘What is she doing? Why is she being so modest in front of her future husband? She’s just as clueless as Fang Hao when it comes to romance,’ Fang Ling thought, shaking her head in disappointment.

“I’d better get out of here before she senses me and throws a tantrum later…” Fang Ling cast one last glance at her daughter before her figure dissolved into smoke and disappeared.

Meanwhile, Yuan, his wives, and Fang Xiaoyan remained completely oblivious to the fact that someone had been watching them the whole time.

‘Well, I guess I should just get dressed like everyone else. They don’t seem to mind,’ Fang Xiaoyan thought, taking a deep breath before removing the towel that covered her body, revealing her beautiful figure to Yuan.

‘So beautiful… She’s just perfect…’ Yuan thought, momentarily dazed by her appearance.

However, he only caught a glimpse of her perfectly shaped body before she quickly dressed, her cheeks flushed red with embarrassment.

“Don’t just stand there staring at me! You know it’s too embarrassing!” Fang Xiaoyan exclaimed, her face bright with a rosy blush.

Yuan chuckled. “You’re just too beautiful. I couldn’t help myself.”

“Do you really think I’m beautiful?” Fang Xiaoyan asked, still embarrassed but curious.

“Very. You’re incredibly beautiful… You’d make the perfect wife,” Yuan replied with a wide grin, showing no hint of shame.

“Is that so…? You’re also incredibly handsome, Yuan,” Fang Xiaoyan remarked shyly.

“You think so?” Yuan grinned cheekily, clearly enjoying himself as he teased her with his sweet words.

Fang Xiaoyan’s shyness faded, replaced by a cheeky grin. “What do you mean ‘think so’? You’re incredibly handsome, Yuan, you just don’t realize it. How else do you explain having so many women by your side, huh?”

“You might be right. I’m just too handsome for women to resist me. So be careful, or you might fall in love with me…” Yuan teased with a playful smile.

“Fufu~ Stop dreaming, Yuan. You’re not *that* handsome. I was just trying to spare your feelings…” Fang Xiaoyan shot back with a smirk.

“Is that so? I wonder if you’re being honest with yourself.” Yuan’s mysterious smile made her raise her eyebrows, curious about the meaning behind his words.

‘Well… you *are* too handsome, Yuan… And it looks like I’m not immune either. I think I’m falling for you…’ Fang Xiaoyan thought to herself, a soft smile appearing on her face.
