My Celestial Ascension

Chapter 400 Heading Toward The Forest Of Never Return

Soldiers hustled about, directing the flow of traffic and ensuring that everyone boarded their designated carriage efficiently. The air was thick with anticipation, a tangible sense of purpose driving the participants forward.

As the carriage drew to a standstill, Yuan and his girls spotted Mireya and Sylvia's stunned expressions on their faces, indicating that they had also been surprised after traveling in the carriage.

Anna questioned them both, with a knowing smirk on her lovely face and a light joking tone, "So, what do you think about our carriage? Isn't it comfortable to ride?"

"It was somewhat unexpected... But I've never ridden a carriage this luxurious before, and to be honest, it threw me off guard," Mireya said, her voice full with astonishment and admiration.

It was a surprise to her how Yuan was able to make this vehicle so comfortable to ride, and she could see there were no magical components attached to it. So the question is: how?

Not only Mireya but also Sylvia, was taken away by the coziness of this carriage, which piqued her interest in discovering its secret, how it is so nice to ride in.

'Yuan is an intriguing person. He is not only strong but also carries many secrets...I want to learn more about him.' Sylvia mused to herself, interest in her gaze.

Mireya then asked Yuan with an inquisitive smile, "Yuan, how did you make this carriage so comfortable?"

"It is a secret." Yuan grinned curiously at her, making her even more eager to learn the truth.

Meanwhile, onlookers outside the carriage were drawn to Yuan's carriage's odd appearance. They are amazed by the vehicle's size and height; it is definitely an extraordinary carriage.

"That carriage is huge! I wonder who owns this wagon."

"Open your eyes wide and observe who is the coachman of the carriage!"

"What a beauty! She resembles a fairy!"

"Isn't she with them?" The gang of ethereal beauty that was accompanied a single attractive man?"

"Indeed. It's her; she is undoubtedly one of them. That means..."

"That indicates this carriage belongs to the Celestial Blades!"

The people's whispers echoed across the area, catching the attention of the royal family and other significant personalities there.

"What kind of carriage is this? This contraption could easily fit more than 25 people, and it is also fairly tall." King Richard whispered, his tone tinged with surprise and wonder as he fixed his sight on the carriage that stood out amid the rows of carriage.

"That carriage seemed to belong only to Yuan. And from the looks of it, he appears to have tailored it to his liking." Prince Tristan spoke in a shocked tone, staring at Yuan's carriage with admiration.

Although the carriage does not look excellent in comparison to the rest of the carriage, it is pretty normal and has a powerful body, giving the carriage the appearance of a moving fortress.

However, when compared to the luxurious-looking carriages, Yuan's carriage offers the finest defense from magical monsters. Furthermore, they are unaware that the carriage is really comfortable to ride.

King Richard then turned to face War General Valeria, who was standing a few feet away from him. Her gaze was locked on Yuan's vehicle, and her eyes sparkled, almost as if she was thrilled to see the big carriage.

'She seemed to be interested in Yuan's carriage. I hope she won't bother them. Both of them are monsters!' King Richard was shocked to see the twinkle in War General Valeria's eyes, which is a rare sight.

With a smirk on his face, King Richard asked General Valeria, "What do you think of Yuan's carriage? It's rather interesting, don't you think?"

"Indeed. That carriage is quite intriguing." General Valeria nodded, her tone full of interest and excitement.

She then turned around and said, "King Richard, you all get inside the carriage. I'll go and chat with them for a bit… You don't need to wait for me before marching."

She waved her hand at the monarch, and the other notable officials from other countries hurriedly fled the scene, approaching Yuan's carriage with a huge grin on her furious face.

Crown Prince Daniel smiled as he watched her leave; he was startled to see his aunt display interest in someone, which had never happened before.

"My aunt appears to like Yuan..." Crown Prince Daniel mumbled in a low voice, seemingly surprised.

"Well, it appears that she will not be returning; let us get into our chariot and begin marching towards the Forest of Never Return." Archmage Eldrick Stormcaller whispered quietly as he moved towards his beautiful chariot.

"Alright. Let's get rolling then." Archmage Isadoa Frostweaver nodded his head and yelled, her voice echoing over the area.

Everyone climbed into their designated carriages after hearing her strong and clear voice, and the carriages gradually began to move forward.

*Knock* *knock*

Yuan and his women furrowed their brows as they heard someone knocking on their carriage's door, wondering who it was.

"I will go open the door. You don't move from your seats." Yuan instantly rose from his seat and rushed to open the door.

'Who may be pounding on our carriage just now?' he wondered.

When he opened the carriage door, he saw that the person who had knocked was none other than War General Valeria, which surprised and perplexed him.

'What does she expect from me now?' Yuan wondered, glancing at General Valeria with a perplexed expression.

"Miss Valeria, I am curious why you have come to our carriage. Do you require my assistance in anything?" With a serene look on his face, he asked. Inwardly, he was apprehensive of her; after all, she was the Emperor's sister.

She was known for her wild and aggressive demeanor, so he resolved not to offend her while they were working together inside the Forest of Never Return.

"So, can I come in first and then tell you?" She responded with a big smile on her lips, her eyes roaming the interior of the carriage.

Yuan stared at her for a minute, as if considering whether or not to let her in. "Sure, you may come inside."

"Thank you for letting me in." She smiled as she entered the carriage and sat next to Sylvia.

Mireya instantly jumped up and inquired with an astonished look on her face. "General Valeria, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be alongside other notable personalities from different countries?"

"Well, I don't feel like sitting with them and grumbling about some dull topic," Valeria shrugged and said in a casual tone.

"That didn't explain why you're here," Grace replied in an indifferent tone, causing Valeria to furrow her brow.

'Although I couldn't sense any aura from her body, and she seemed like a normal person, my senses told me she was strong and dangerous.' General Valeria looked at Grace with interest; she was quite inquisitive about her.

Not only that, but she felt it from practically everyone in the carriage, except Mireya and Sylvia.

"Believe it or not, that's the only reason why I'm here in your carriage…" she said a second later.

'She is obviously lying...' Yuan smiled inwardly.

A few moments later, the carriage began to move forward gently, and then quickly.

As the carriage began to move quickly, General Valeria had a shocked expression on her face because she felt extremely comfortable in the carriage even though it was moving so quickly.

'Why does this carriage seem so comfortable, even though it's moving so fast? It shouldn't be possible.' She thought with an astonished expression on her face.

'This carriage... I like it. I wonder where Yuan bought this carriage; I'd like to get one as well.' She thought, her interest was obvious.

"I must admit, your carriage is really nice to ride," General Valeria said with a smile. "Could you please tell me where I may buy one? I like your carriage and want a similar one for myself."

Yuan gave an uneasy smile upon hearing this. "Unfortunately, this is impossible. You will not find a carriage with similar qualities anywhere else, because the comfort of this carriage is the result of my personal adaptation."

"I see…It's unfortunate that I can't purchase one." General Valeria sighed and abandoned the notion of purchasing a similar carriage.

However, she then had an idea and remarked, "Why don't you modify my carriage as well? I will compensate you generously for the change."

"No, that is not feasible." Yuan immediately refused her offer, which surprised General Valeria.

"Can I ask why?" She asked, hoping that Yuan would reconsider and accede to her request.

Yuan chuckled as he stared at her. "It's fairly straightforward, but I don't have time for that. I need to traverse the world to achieve my goal."

"I see...it's unfortunate." General Valeria sighed once again.

Yuan and his girls conversed with Mireya, Sylvia, and General Valeria while the carriage continued to proceed at a steady rate.

Valeria was clearly intrigued in Yuan, as she kept stealing brief glances at him from time to time, indicating that she was quite curious about him, and her sinister grin indicated that she was very interested in exchanging a few moves with him.

After traveling for more than six hours straight, all of the carriages came to a halt, and a soldier stated that they would take a short lunch break and allow the horses to rest before continuing the rest of the voyage.
