My Celestial Ascension

Meanwhile, Yuan and his girl exit the carriage and decide to prepare their own meals. Anna promptly retrieved her utensils from her spatial ring, as well as Her culinary supplies.

At the same time, the others got out their large cooking pots and began preparing meals for thousands of people, with hundreds of people assisting the cooks by cutting vegetables and prepping meat and other ingredients for the chefs.

Everyone was working together to save time, and while the rest of the people assisted each other in setting up the tents, some skilled Hunters investigated the area to ensure that there would be no issues at night and that no powerful creatures were nearby.

The entire place was filled and the air was thick with expectancy; everyone was preoccupied with something.

Despite their busy schedules, they couldn't help but gaze at Yuan's wives, who were busy cooking their own meals. Most of the Hunters were taken aback by their ethereal beauty, which drew a lot of attention.

They are not only lovely, but they also appear to be very competent cooks; they are the epitome of perfect wife material.

While all of the males focus on Yuan's wives, the majority of the girls, if not all of them, cast an appealing glance at Yuan and are captivated by his faultless, attractive face.

Their cheeks flushed immediately upon seeing his attractive face, and a number of them felt their nether regions becoming wet and steaming. In frustration, they lightly bite their own lips.

When they saw Yuan embracing Grace so intimately, most of the guys were envious of him and wanted to beat his attractive face till it was unrecognizable.

"That bastard is so lucky; look at how he's clutching that beauty."

"God! I am very envious of him! Why couldn't it be me rather than him?"

"What's wrong with my face that I can't leave my ugly big ass wife?"

"We're horrible at attracting beauty... I suppose we're bound to remain single."

"While his other girlfriends are making supper for him, look at him; he is having fun with another girl."

"We can only dream of such a life, and I am so envious!"

Not only were the guys chatting to one another, but so were the girls, expressing their jealousy of Grace, who was sitting on His lap and enjoying the warmth of His embrace.

At the same time, General Valeria was not far from the carriage, practicing with her sword, striking it against the enormous tree.

Slash!

With a single swing of her sword, the big tree was cut down, and the three tumbled to the ground, making a tremendous bang with dust flying everywhere.

This piqued everyone's interest, and they peered at the spectacle in disbelief and awe. They nearly didn't believe their eyes, and the mages stared at the spectacle in bewilderment as if they were witnessing the impossible.

"Unbelievable! Did she really slash that tree with her sword?!"

"She took down a large tree with a single sweep of her long sword!"

"As expected of War General Valeria, she is quite strong!"

"With her by our side, our endeavor inside the Forest of Never Return will be a complete success!"

"I doubt anyone other than War General Valeria would be able to achieve the same."

Meanwhile, General Valeria had a look of dissatisfaction on her face, indicating that she was dissatisfied with the outcome.

"It still isn't enough; I haven't been able to land a clean hit on the three and make a great cut." She exhaled.

She then turned back and looked at Yuan, who was hugging Grace quite closely. Her face is filled with anticipation as she prepares to cross swords with Yuan.

"I wonder whether he will agree to practice with me with a sword...he seems to be having a lovely moment with his wife right now." General Valeria mused, her attention focused on Yuan's physique.

However, she had a strange emotion after seeing Yuan passionately embrace his wife, Grace. She couldn't express the feeling because it was her first time experiencing it.

'Strange... What is this emotion I'm experiencing? It's quite strange.' She reflected, perplexed at her own emotions.

—

"Strange, why hasn't my aunt arrived yet? "I wonder what she is doing right now." Crown Prince Daniel mumbled, his voice full of astonishment and wonder.

"Prince Daniel, General Valeria seems to like that lovely young man... She even forgot to attend this meeting." Archmage Isadoa Frostweaver spoke, her voice tinged with amusement and surprise.

She was rather astonished to learn that General Valeria, also known as the Ruthless Lioness, was spending her time with a lovely young guy; she wondered what sort of enchantment the young man had cast on her, and Valeria had even forgotten to attend such an important conference.

'Even though I'm over a hundred, I'm still drawn to that gorgeous young man. He is just too attractive, and his charm is seductive to women of all ages and preferences.' Archmage Isadora Frostweaver reflected, unable to shake Yuan's image from her mind, which kept returning.

After hearing their reaction, King Richard decided to participate in the conversation. "I believe what General Valeria genuinely wants is to exchange some pointers with that young man, Yuan."

"Don't judge someone based solely on his appearance, or you'll make the worst mistake of your life. After all, appearances can be very deceptive." Near the end of his speech, King Richards' tone gets more serious, and his gaze sharpens.

"That insolent bastard," Holy Son Aurther hissed harshly, enraged only by hearing Yuan's name. "Once this mission is completed, I will do all in my power to ensure that bastard dies a horrible death. How dare that lowlife beat my Holy Knights while entirely dismissing me!"

"I'll make sure the bastard has a horrific death; only then will I be able to sleep soundly." Holy Son Aurther whispered, his voice filled with rage and terrible purpose.

He quickly left the tent with an annoyed expression on his face, and the Holy Knights followed closely behind.

Everyone else in the tent gazed at the Holy Son leaving, puzzled, for they had never seen the Holy Son so frustrated before.

"What is up with him? Why is he acting this way? What's the deal?" Archmage Eldrick Stormcaller gave King Richard a troubled look, perplexed by the Holy Son's sudden rage.

"Yeah, we've never seen the Holy Son act like this before. Did anything happen while you weren't there?" Archmage Isadora Frostweaver inquired, her tone tinged with perplexity and puzzlement.

"Oh, don't ask," King Richard sighed. "When you weren't present at the Gladiators' Stadium, Holy Son had a minor disagreement with Yuan and his wife."

"What kind of conflict? And how could the young guy dare to argue with the holy son?! Don't they cherish their lives?" Archmage Isadora Frostweaver nearly cried out in disbelief when she heard King Richard's remarks.

Archmage Isadora regained her calm and, with a sigh, inquired, "So, Your Majesty, could you explain what happened between the Holy Son and Yuan?".

King Richard took a deep breath and nodded in answer, then began narrating what had transpired to Yuan and the Holy Son within the chamber back in the capital city.

"What?! Yuan refused to apologize to the Holy Son for his insolence?! How dare he! Isn't he aware that it's the Holy Son and not just anybody?" Archmage Eldrick erupts in wrath, infuriated by Yuan's arrogance.

Crown Prince Daniel's face twisted in irritation when he heard Archmage Eldrick's words since he dislikes Holy Son Aurther's attitude.

"Well, to be honest, it was that pompous bastard Aurther's fault; he should have kept his dogs in check." Crown Prince Daniel made a casual remark that surprised everyone in the room.

"Crown Prince Daniel." Archmage Eldrick couldn't believe what he was hearing and glanced at him with wide eyes.

Archmage Eldrick kept his cool and replied, "Crown Prince Daniel, how could you speak ill of Holy Son Aurther so casually? After all, he is the holy son of the Holy Light Empire; you cannot talk about him like that."

"What about me, then? I'm the crown prince of the Lionheart Empire, and I'm not frightened of him," Daniel said coldly. "Archmage Eldrick, are you advising me to drop my head to that arrogant bastard?"

"No! Certainly not, Your Highness!" Archmage Eldrick instantly shakes his head and starts to sweat profusely.

'Damn it! I should not have stated what came to mind.' Archmage Eldrick whispered into his head, clenching his fist.

"And Archmage Eldrick and Archmage Isadora, I advise you both to stay from confronting Yuan and his women; you have no clue what they are capable of doing." Suddenly, King Richard spoke in a somber tone.

He went on to say, "And for your information, they aren't afraid of anybody in this world, and I don't think anyone can stop them even if they go on the rampage in this world... they have godlike prowess."

"Hahaha~! Godlike prowess?? Don't be ridiculous, Your Majesty!" Archmage Isadora screamed and laughed, refusing to believe such a preposterous notion.

"Well, I've said what I wanted to say; it's up to you whether you believe it or not; it doesn't matter to me anymore." After saying so, King Richard exited the tent, leaving everyone else in perplexity.

'Power equivalent to the gods, huh? Yuan, what type of being are you? And why did my muscular aunt take a fancy to you?' Crown Prince Daniel reflected on King Richard's departure.

Meanwhile, Anna and the girls completed cooking their dinner, and General Valeria came to the carriage, soaked in sweat.

Yuan quickly spotted her there and inquired, "Miss Valeria, would you mind joining us for dinner?"

"Sure, why not? I'd be delighted to join you guys." She swiftly responded, putting her blade away.
