My Celestial Ascension

"My dear, let's discuss this later. I'm not comfortable talking about it right now…" Vanessa said to her daughter with a forced smile, clearly feeling uneasy about her daughter's suggestion.

'I can't believe my daughter is asking me to be my son-in-law's wife…But there's some truth to her words. I won't be able to live a normal life after this.' Vanessa sighed inwardly, feeling the weight of the situation pressing down on her.

She turned to Yuan with a soft smile and asked, "Young man, you should know that I'm an old woman, probably the same age as your grandmother. Do you really want to have sex with me right now?"

"After all, most people despise getting close to an old woman like me. I don't have any attractive features, just a few old bones." Vanessa said with a dry smile, feeling uncomfortable being naked in front of a handsome young man, who was none other than her daughter's husband.

"Don't be so self-deprecating, Mother-in-law. You're actually quite beautiful. Any sane man would find you attractive. Your breasts are still plump and supple, and your figure is also very well-proportioned with curves in all the right places. And let's not forget your…ahem…private parts. They're also quite beautiful." Yuan spoke from the heart, without any sugarcoating, expressing his true feelings about her.

Upon hearing Yuan praise her in such a lewd manner, Vanessa's cheeks immediately flushed red. Her heart began to race in her chest, and she could feel the heat spreading across her cheeks.

When Vanessa looked into Yuan's eyes, she noticed that he wasn't lying to her, and his gaze was fixed on her private parts. She instinctively tried to touch her wet private parts with her hand, feeling embarrassed.

"D-Don't stare at me like that! It's so embarrassing!" Vanessa exclaimed, her face flushed even deeper.

"Haha! Mom, didn't I tell you he'd seen everything? Why are you trying to hide your assets?" Valeria laughed, watching her mother blush and cover her breasts.

Yuan chuckled and pulled Vanessa into his embrace, whispering, "For now, think of it as a treatment for your illness. We have plenty of time to get to know each other before we discuss our relationships, okay?"

"I understand." Vanessa nodded, a blush spreading across her cheeks. She lay down on the bed, spreading her legs wide, inviting Yuan to access her. He positioned himself at the entrance of her body and gently thrust his penis inside her.

As Yuan moved his hips back and forth, Vanessa's sweet moans filled the room. Her passion grew, and she lost control, pulling Yuan's face closer before kissing him passionately.

"Miss Anna, what kind of treatment is your son currently using on our mother-in-law that Valeria pushed us out of the room? Is it some kind of secret or a legendary recovery spell?" Priscilla asked curiously, leaning against the plush sofa in the living area.

"Well, for your information, we're not mages. Everything related to us is top secret, and we don't want others to see our methods. If revealed, it could draw a lot of unwanted attention," Anna responded, her expression serious as a heavy tension settled in the room.

"Since we're family now, I don't mind revealing a few things about us—" Anna abruptly stopped mid-sentence, her gaze fixed on the servants still present in the room.

Empress Selena noticed her hesitation and quickly signaled for the servants to leave. The room emptied, ensuring their conversation would remain private.

Anna took a deep breath before speaking again. Her voice was calm, yet carried an air of superiority. "Have you noticed the changes in Valeria? She has forsaken Mana to become stronger, taking her first steps toward immortality. She has surpassed the limits of human capabilities."

She paused, her eyes gleaming with pride, and continued, "The energy we use is far superior to the Mana that you mages and warriors rely on. It's an energy that mortal beings cannot comprehend—let alone sense or wield."

"This energy not only grants us immense power but also unlocks abilities beyond the reach of Mages. It strengthens and refines our bodies to the point where even the most powerful magical swords or spells are useless against us," Anna explained with a proud grin, her confidence unmistakable.

Grace and the others shared similar expressions of pride, though Xi Meili and Fang Xiaoyan stood out. Fang Xiaoyan's sense of superiority seemed to eclipse even that of the others.

"Unbelievable… This is the first time I've ever heard of such a thing," Empress Selena murmured, her voice tinged with disbelief as she processed Anna's words.

"To think there exists an energy in this world far superior to Mana, with unimaginable potential… This is nothing short of miraculous! If the world were to learn of this, powerhouses from across the globe would go mad trying to uncover its secrets," Priscilla mumbled, her expression one of utter shock at the revelation.

"Indeed. That's one of the reasons we want to keep our methods a secret. But don't worry—Miss Vanessa has regained consciousness. Her body is still weak, though, so Yuan is helping her recover and strengthen it quickly," Grace said in an emotionless tone, her words reassuring Selena and Priscilla, who felt relieved knowing their mother-in-law had awakened.

"I don't suggest we go there," Grace continued, her voice firm, carrying both seriousness and a subtle warning. "Let them finish what they're doing. Besides, it's best we don't disturb them."

'It seems Valeria planned to make her mother Yuan's woman... How thoughtful of her,' Grace mused inwardly with a soft chuckle. 'A talent like Vanessa will certainly prove useful in the future. And it seems my darling has taken quite a liking to her as well.'

'He's already had an encounter with her, but this time Vanessa is willingly cooperating. My darling is so charming, he can even win over a grandmother like her... I couldn't be prouder,' Grace thought, her giggles now internal.

Using their Divine Sense, Anna and the others observed the scene unfolding in Vanessa's room. None of them appeared surprised to witness Yuan intimately engaging with both Vanessa and Valeria.

'It looks like we're gaining a new sister—and she's none other then Valeria's mother. Isn't that amazing? Incredible, right?' Anna communicated to the others through her Divine Sense, her voice brimming with excitement.

'Indeed," Lily responded with a soft sigh. 'I do wonder what our darling sees in an older woman like her. But then again, we're cultivators—age means nothing to us.'

'Exactly. Once she learns a cultivation technique and begins her journey, her youthfu appearance will return as her cultivation progresses. She'll become as stunning as a young maiden—perhaps even more beautiful,' Emma added with a chuckle, her excitement evident.

'For now, why don't we just enjoy the show?' Rose suggested with a playful tone, her amusement clear.

'Agreed. Watching Yuan with them is... arousing. Just looking at them makes me want to embrace him myself,' Julie chimed in, her voice carrying a sultry undertone.

Meanwhile, Selena and Priscilla exchanged puzzled glances. They noticed Anna and the others giggling and chuckling to themselves but couldn't understand what was so amusing. Their confusion deepened as the group's laughter became infectious, though the reason behind it remained a mystery.

'What's up with them?' Both Selena and Priscilla thought the same thing, puzzled by the situation.

Moments later, Emperor Philip arrived at the palace's living area and saw Yuan's wives and his own chatting while relaxing on the plush sofa. Tea and cookies adorned the table, adding to the casual atmosphere.

"Selena, has Mother woken up?" he asked, sitting between his wives with a curious expression.

"Yes, but you can't see her yet. She's still undergoing treatment, and Valeria is with her. Don't worry; let them work in peace," Selena replied in a firm tone, ensuring her husband wouldn't disturb the process.

"I see… It's good to know that Mother has awakened from her slumber," Emperor Philip sighed, leaning back against the sofa.

After taking a deep breath, his expression grew serious. His wives immediately noticed the change and became concerned, wondering what weighed on his mind.

Anna and the others also raised their brows, their curiosity piqued by the sudden shift in his demeanor.

"What is it, dear? Why do you look like that? Did something happen in the city?" Priscilla asked, her voice laced with worry as her heartbeat quickened.

Emperor Philip exhaled deeply, bracing himself to share the news. "Something very serious has happened in the Holy Empire of Light—something that could plunge us into war. We need to prepare to defend our nation."

"What could threaten our empire so gravely? Did the Golden Skull organization resurface in the Holy Empire?" Selena asked, her concern evident.

"No, it's not the Golden Skull this time. It's the Holy Church of Light and Justice," Emperor Philip explained, his tone heavy with shock and disbelief. "The Empire has summoned a group of Heroes from another world. Word is, they sacrificed more than ten thousand living people to complete the summoning ritual."

Selena and Priscilla shot to their feet, their eyes wide with shock.

"What?! The Holy Empire has summoned Heroes from another world?!" they exclaimed in unison, their disbelief palpable.
