My Celestial Ascension

The following morning, Yuan and his wives had breakfast together with Miss Zara and Little Zoe. Despite Yuan spending most of the night making love to his wives, they all woke up early. As cultivators, they felt no exhaustion and were as energetic as if they had enjoyed a full night's rest.

Before Yuan and his wives could leave the dining room, Miss Zara suddenly called out to him and asked, "Yuan, I have a question. Do you mind answering it before you all head back to your rooms to gather your belongings?"

"What is it, Miss Zara? Feel free to ask anything," Yuan said, halting his steps and smiling warmly at her.

Miss Zara gave an awkward smile before asking, "I was wondering if I could store the entire building inside my spatial ring. It has enough space to fit several buildings like this."

Yuan smiled, understanding her sentiment.

"So, you want to bring this building along with you? I see how important it is to you," he said. "To answer your question, yes, you can store the building inside your spatial ring."

"However, make sure the building is empty before you do so. Living beings can't be stored inside a spatial ring," he added.

"I see… I'll keep that in mind," Miss Zara replied, nodding with a smile.

"Since you've answered my question, you can go to your room and pack your things," she said. "I'll also prepare Little Zoe with a new dress—and, of course, I need to change into a new dress myself. After all, I can't leave the city wearing this."

Miss Zara chuckled, and Lily chimed in, her eyes bright with excitement. "Well, don't take too long. And remember, wear something simple, or the wind might blow you both away!"

She left with Yuan and the others, her playful words lingering in the air.

"I'll keep that in mind… Huh? Have they already left? Well, whatever. I need to finish the dishes quickly and get ready to leave," Miss Zara sighed, noticing that Yuan and his wives had already left the dining room.

A few minutes later, Miss Zara finished washing the dishes, looked at Little Zoe with a smile, and said, "Zoe, dear, let's go to our room and get ready."

"Alright, Mom. But I won't wear that blue dress Big Sister Lily gave me."

"Sure, you don't have to wear it. But remember to be careful and not damage the dress you choose."

"I will, Mom!" Little Zoe replied cheerfully.

With that, the two of them headed to their room.

Sometime later, Yuan and his wives emerged from their room, fully dressed in new outfits. They wore simple clothing that allowed easy movement and wouldn't draw too much attention.

"I wonder if Miss Zara and Little Zoe have finished changing. They should be done by now," Mireya murmured as she followed Yuan, a soft smile on her face.

"Knowing how efficient Miss Zara is, she's probably waiting for us in the lobby," Rose added from behind. "And Little Zoe seemed really excited about the journey."

Mireya smiled. "You're right. Miss Zara is incredibly capable—she manages the entire building and takes care of the guests on her own."

When they arrived at the lobby, they found Miss Zara and Little Zoe already waiting for them. The two were dressed in simple yet elegant outfits that highlighted their beauty and cuteness.

"Miss Zara, are you ready to leave this place with us?" Yuan asked, smiling. He could sense the reluctance she felt about leaving.

"We're ready. Let's head out," Miss Zara replied after a moment.

Once they were outside, Miss Zara turned to look at the building. She raised her hand, and in an instant, the massive structure was sucked into the ring on her finger.

"What the hell just happened? Where did the building go?"

"Unbelievable! It just vanished! How is that even possible?"

"Can anyone explain this? How did the building disappear like that?"

People nearby were immediately shocked, and within moments, hundreds gathered around, filling the air with confused and astonished murmurs.

"More and more people are coming this way. Let's get out of here quickly," Yuan urged his wives and Miss Zara, noticing the crowd growing larger.

"Yes, we should leave. We don't want to draw any more attention," Miss Zara agreed, and they hurriedly slipped away from the gathering crowd.

As they left the vicinity, they noticed a stream of people rushing toward where Miss Zara's building had stood, looking panicked and unable to process the sight of a huge building vanishing into thin air. However, Yuan, his wives, Miss Zara, and Little Zoe ignored the commotion and continued toward the city gate.

A few minutes later, they arrived at the gate. The guards stationed there quickly noticed Yuan's group and immediately cleared the path for them to exit the city.

"Aren't they the famous Hunter Party, the 'Celestial Blades'? They're unbelievably powerful…!" one of the guards muttered, his voice trembling.

"Yeah. The air around them felt so heavy I couldn't breathe for a moment," another guard added, his legs shaking as a grim smile spread across his face. "They're even stronger than an Archmage."

Once Yuan and his group arrived outside the city, his wives immediately retrieved their flying swords from their spatial rings, except for Xi Meili and Fang Xiaoyan. Lily took Little Zoe with her on her flying sword, while Anna took Miss Zara, as the two women were close. It didn't surprise anyone that Anna chose to bring Miss Zara along.

They all soared into the sky, heading west at an astonishing speed. Miss Zara was momentarily stunned; her eyes rolled backward from the overwhelming pace. Yuan and his wives exchanged quick glances and laughed when they realized Miss Zara had fainted. Thankfully, Anna was holding her tightly; otherwise, she might have crashed to the ground.

Meanwhile, Little Zoe was having the time of her life. Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she took in the breathtaking landscape, giggling uncontrollably at the exhilarating speed.

"This is so much fun! This is awesome!" Little Zoe shouted with joy.

"Be careful, Little Zoe, or you might fall off the sword," Lily teased with a small chuckle, making sure to hold her securely.

"Big Sister Lily! You're scaring me!" Little Zoe puffed her cheeks, pouting.

"Alright, I'm sorry," Lily apologized, shaking her head with a smile before giving Little Zoe a gentle kiss on the cheek.

Half an hour later, Miss Zara came to her senses and was shocked to find herself soaring through the clouds.

"Calm down, Miss Zara," Anna said quickly, trying to soothe her.

"We're heading to the Imperial City of the Lionheart Empire, and you've been unconscious for the past half hour." She used her strength to keep Miss Zara steady, ensuring she wouldn't panic.

—

It had been a whole week since Yuan, his wives, Miss Zara, and Little Zoe left the Capital City. During this time, Yuan trained Miss Zara and Little Zoe whenever they encountered groups of monsters.

He wanted them to become familiar with fighting monsters before facing other humans. Yuan knew that some people in this world were far from kind, so it was best to prepare for the worst.

They traveled during the day and rested at night. By the end of the week, both Miss Zara and Little Zoe had reached the fourth level of Spirit Warriors. They could only cultivate for a few hours each day, as their bodies needed sufficient rest.

As evening settled in, Miss Zara prepared dinner alongside Anna. Anna enjoyed Miss Zara's company, and they worked well together, especially since Miss Zara was knowledgeable about cooking. The two women helped each other prepare a variety of dishes and managed to finish within an hour.

While dinner was being made, Yuan set up a large tent and placed talismans around the area, activating a protective formation. This formation covered the tent and extended a few meters around it. Yuan wanted to ensure they could sleep peacefully without the risk of a monster attack, which would frighten Little Zoe.

"All set. No monster should be able to disturb our sleep now," Yuan mumbled with a satisfied smile, admiring the completed tent.

Inside, the tent was divided into two sections: one for Yuan and his wives, and the other for Miss Zara and Little Zoe. It was only natural to separate the sleeping arrangements, as Miss Zara wouldn't be comfortable sharing a space with Yuan and his wives.

"Alright, everyone! Dinner is ready!" Miss Zara called out.

Sometime later, after finishing dinner, everyone gathered around the bonfire to spend some time together. They didn't want to fall asleep right after eating.

"Valeria, how long will it take us to reach the closest city near the Imperial City?" Yuan asked.

Valeria thought for a moment before replying, "The closest city is Yellow River City, one of the largest port cities in the Lionheart Empire. At our current pace, we should arrive there by tomorrow afternoon."

"I see. We'll restock our supplies in Yellow River City and continue our journey immediately," Yuan said. "We can't afford to stay there for long, as it would delay our arrival at the Imperial City. The auction starts in a few days, and I don't want to miss it."

"Indeed," Grace agreed. "The auction is our top priority, so we can't waste any time."

"With our current speed, we should reach the Imperial City in two days," Valeria said with a grin. "But if we push ourselves, we could make it in a day and a half." Ever since she learned to fly on a flying sword, Valeria had been eager to fly as fast as possible, testing her limits.

"Well, it could be risky, but we could try to move faster," Yuan considered. "However, with Anna and Lily taking care of Miss Zara and Little Zoe, we might not be able to."

Then a smirk crossed his face. "But if Xi Meili and I carry them, we could double our speed."
