My Celestial Ascension

Ava released a long sigh of relief after knowing the woman was safe, and said, "That's a relief. For a moment, I thought the woman's body was decomposed by the poisonous mist created by the goblin mage." 

Then she continued, "Although it didn't work against me as I covered my body with a thin layer of Qi, the poisonous mist was strong, very strong as the ground was also affected by it."

What Ava said is true, the purple mist created by the goblin mage was really dangerous as it turned the entire ground covered by the mist to purple.

And it had the same effect as the purple mist itself— anyone touching it will be paralyzed, and soon the body will start to decompose rapidly.

"Well, it certainly is a very dangerous poison." Yuan then looked at the ground that turned purple by the poisonous mist, and continued, "I wouldn't be surprised if it restricted a third-circle mage or a knight who trained their aura to third level with its paralyzing effect, or perhaps even poison them significantly reducing their strength."

A minute later, Rose approached Ava with a big smile on her face and said, "By the way, Ava. Congratulations for eliminating the goblins alone, I know you'd manage to kill them on your own."

"Thanks, big sister Rose," Ava responded with a bashful look on her face.

"I must say, you've improved quite a lot since you fought against the Kobolds', even your mastery over the 'Phantom Slash' also increased significantly so that you can now create more than five phantoms." Yuan found that Ava had improved significantly compared to when she fought against the Kobolds', and was worthy to be proud of.

Ava's movement was rigid and imprecise at the moment, and she would frequently lag. However, her movement had become less rigid, and each attack was skillfully executed, and her movement was incredibly smooth, unlike before.

"I also agree with darling, You've improved quite a lot since you are capable enough to hold your ground against strong foes." Anna Grace said with a proud smile on her face, knowing that her daughter-in-law's strength has increased significantly and that a group of goblins isn't a threat to her anymore.

"Hehe, I'm still not strong enough and I need to learn more from you, Mother-in-law," Ava responded with a smile, then she shifted her gaze at Yuan with a determined look on her face. "I must become strong in order to stand side by side with my husband, as one of his wives I must support him."

"That's the spirit. As his wives, we must support our husbands with everything we have." Anna Grace nodded with a smile, feeling satisfied with her daughter-in-law's words.

A minute later, Ava glanced at the unconscious woman on the floor and said, "Since this woman is still unconscious, I'll go collect the goblin ears." 

Once she finished her sentence, Ava approached the dead goblins and bent down to collect their ears using her dagger.

"Aughh! What a terrible stench! It's making me sick...!" 

The stink of goblin invaded her nostrils as she was ready to grab the goblin ear from the first goblin, causing her expression to turn incredibly unpleasant and quickly concealing her nose.

"How am I supposed to collect their ears when they stink so bad?" Ava has no idea how she is going to collect the goblins' ears, as the smell of goblin blood is too terrible and unbearable.

Looking at the bloodied corpses of the goblins, Ava felt as though she was about to puke just from gazing at the corpses let alone the pungent smell emitted by those corpses.

"I don't have a choice but to do this." Ava tightly gripped her dagger and prepared herself to collect the goblins' ears. 

"In the future, I'll see far worse, and this is nothing... I'll have to grow used to seeing such sights; possibly there will be a lot more blood in the future," Ava said to herself in a low voice before bringing her dagger forward to collect the goblin's ear.

One by one she collected all the goblin ears she could find, it took her more than 20 minutes to collect all the goblin's ears as the pungent smell was making her unable to get close to the corpses.

Once she collected all the goblin ears she stored them inside her pouch before cleaning the goblin blood from her dagger with a flick of her hand, then she arrived in front of Yuan.

"Husband, keep them for a while until we return to the hunter association." She said before heading the pouch filled with goblin ears to her husband.

"I don't mind, let me keep it for you." Yuan accepted the pouch and it quickly vanished into thin air as he stored it inside his system storage.

"Honestly I hate to say it, but Ava you are literally covered in goblin blood and it smells disgusting," Julie responded, pointing to her clothes with a teasing grin, remembering how Ava teased her when she was coated in wolf blood.

"You—" Ava gritted her teeth in frustration seeing the grin on Julie's face, but she didn't choose to argue about it.

"Mmmm... W-What just happened here...?"

Suddenly a woman's confused voice resounded from behind, causing them to turn their heads.

"Oh, look, the injured woman woke up." Xi Meili exclaimed with a cheerful voice and pointed her finger at the woman who just opened her eyes.

"Oh, You've woken up. How are you feeling? Are you alright?" Anna Grace asked the woman with a smile who just regained her consciousness.

The woman ignored Anna Grace's question and looked at her surroundings, and as she did, her eyes opened wide and looked at the scene with seeming disbelief.

Numerous goblins lay lifeless on the floor in front of her sight, and their blood, body parts, and organs were all over the cave floor, making it a horrifying sight for the weak-hearted people.

"U-Unbelievable... What just happened here? How did those horrible things turn into this?" The woman mumbled in a seemingly disbelief voice, she couldn't believe in her eyes that the creatures that had been torturing her for two days were now dead.

Anna Grace looked in the direction of the woman's gaze. "You mean this?"

The woman nodded.

"Don't worry, it was all caused by Ava here," she replied, pointing to Ava, who was coated in goblin blood.

"We've come here to eliminate the goblins as per the request of the hunter association. When we arrived here you were being tortured by the goblins and eventually passed out from the unbearable pain, and Ava rescued you by killing all the goblins in the cave." 

'Mother-in-law please don't say anything, you're making me bashful!' Ava cried inwardly, feeling embarrassed by her Mother-in-law's words.

"Including the goblin mage?" The woman asked.

"Indeed, Including the goblin mage as well as the champions." Anna Grace nodded.

"Finally... Those vile bastards have died... they've been tormenting me for two days straight, it was so horrific... I can't believe they're gone..." After hearing Anna's remarks, the woman's eyes become moist as she realizes she has been freed from the goblins' agony.

"There are other women imprisoned by those vile creatures, they are in the chamber over there." The woman spoke quickly with a desperate voice and pointed her finger toward the distance. "Please save them, they're much more miserable than me as they're being used by those goblins as breeding tools." 

"What?! There are other women locked up here? This is unbelievable!" Yuan exclaimed with a surprised look on her face, he couldn't believe that the goblin had been using the captive woman as their breeding tool.

However, it wasn't something unexpected as goblins couldn't reproduce themselves as the whole goblin species only consists of males, they need to rely on other species to increase their population.

Due to this fact, they attack the small villages, and only capture the females and kill all the males after torturing them to their heart's content.

"Yes, there are eight of them," The woman nodded. "Please save them or they'll die from their injuries."

"Don't worry we'll save them," Anna Grace comforted the woman with a reassuring smile, then she turned to see Yuan.

Looking at her son, she asked, "Darling, would you mind going there and rescuing those poor women? We can't possibly leave them here to die, can we?" 

"Alright, you guys wait here and I'll go save those women." Yuan nodded, then he looked at the woman and asked, "Are there any guards guarding the women?" 

"Yes, four goblins are guarding the women." The woman quickly responded.

"Is that so... Alright, there's just a bunch of weaklings I'll deal with them myself," Yuan said before proceeding towards the entrance to the chamber where the goblins have kept the women imprisoned.

The next moment, Yuan arrived at the chamber and saw four goblins guarding the prison where eight women were imprisoned.

"They're indeed not in good shape, and it seems two of them are pregnant with a goblin child. Fortunately, the fetus is still undeveloped and I can easily remove it using her Qi." Yuan discovered that two of the women were currently pregnant using his divine sense, and removing the fetus wouldn't be a problem for him at all.
