My Celestial Ascension



Yuan's eyes slowly fluttered open, the sunlight filtering in through the window casting a warm glow across the room. He blinked a few times, his gaze gradually adjusting to the light. The air in the room was thick with the scent of their lovemaking.

As he became more aware of his surroundings, he realized that he wasn't alone in the room. Emma lay beside him, her back pressed against his chest, her long hair spilling over her shoulders and down her back.

Yuan couldn't help but smile at the sight of her. She looked so peaceful, so serene, with her eyes closed and her lips slightly parted. He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer to him, and pressed a soft kiss to the back of her neck.

"Mmm," Emma murmured in her sleep, her body stirring slightly.

Yuan chuckled, his breath tickling the nape of her neck. "Good morning, Sleeping Beauty," he whispered.

Emma shifted in his arms, turning to face him. Her eyes opened slowly, blinking away the last vestiges of sleep. "Morning," she murmured, her voice husky with sleep.

Yuan couldn't help but smile at her sleepy expression. She looked so adorable, with her tousled hair and drowsy eyes. "You look cute when you're sleeping," he said, his voice soft and affectionate.

Emma grinned, her eyes lighting up with happiness. "You're such a charmer," she said, reaching up to cup his cheek in her hand.

Yuan leaned into her touch, his heart swelling with love. "I'm just speaking the truth," he said, his voice low and tender.

Emma smiled up at him, her eyes shining with affection. "I love you," she said, her voice filled with warmth.

Yuan's heart skipped a beat at her words. He leaned down, pressing a soft kiss to her lips. "I love you too," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.

As they kissed, the morning sun continued to shine through the window, bathing the room in a soft, warm glow. For Yuan and Emma, it was the start of a beautiful day, filled with love and happiness.

Emma sat up in bed, stretching her arms above her head. Yuan watched her with a smile, admiring the way her body moved with effortless grace.

"We should take a quick bath," Emma said, looking down at her naked body. "We fell asleep without cleaning up last night, and I feel all sticky."

Yuan smiled at Emma's suggestion. "That sounds like a good idea," he said, taking her hand and leading her towards the bathroom.

As they stepped inside, Yuan closed the door behind them and turned to face Emma.

Emma stepped closer to Yuan, her body still glistening with sweat and love juice. "Let me help you wash your back," she said, taking a small piece of cloth from a shelf and wetting it with the warm water.

Yuan turned around, facing away from her as she began to gently scrub his back. He let out a small sigh of pleasure as the warm water and Emma's touch relaxed his muscles.

"You have such strong muscles," Emma said, admiring his physique as she worked.

Yuan chuckled. "It's from all the sword training I do," he said, glancing over his shoulder at her.

Emma smiled. "Well, it's definitely paying off," she said, her eyes sparkling with admiration.

Yuan turned back around to face her, taking the cloth from her hand. "Now it's my turn to wash you," he said, dipping the cloth in the water and beginning to work his way down her body.

As he washed her, Emma let out a small moan of pleasure, her eyes closing in bliss. "That feels amazing," she said, leaning back against the wall of the shower.

Yuan smiled at her reaction, continuing to work the cloth over her skin, the warm water running over both of their bodies.

As they finished washing each other, Yuan turned off the shower and stepped out of the bathroom, extending a hand to help Emma out. She took his hand, and they both stepped out into the cool air of the room, their bodies still damp and glistening.

"Thank you for washing me," Emma said, smiling up at him.

Yuan grinned. "Thank you for helping me too," he replied, leaning in to give her a gentle kiss.

Emma pulled away from the kiss, looking up at Yuan with a mischievous glint in her eye. "As much as I'd love to stay in here with you all day, we should probably get dressed," she said, reaching for a towel and beginning to dry herself off.

Yuan chuckled, nodding in agreement. "You're right," he said, grabbing his own towel and beginning to dry himself off as well.

Emma finished drying herself off and began to search through the clothes they had left on the floor the night before. "What do you want to wear today?" she asked, holding up a shirt and a pair of pants.

Yuan took the clothes from her, pulling on the pants and buttoning up the shirt. "This looks good," he said, turning to face her.

Emma smiled, nodding in approval. "You look handsome," she said, her eyes lingering on him.

Yuan grinned, reaching out to take her hand. "And you look beautiful," he said, pressing a kiss to her knuckles.

As they finished getting dressed, Yuan and Emma heard a knock at the door. "Yuan, Emma, breakfast is ready!" Anna's voice called out.

Yuan smiled at Emma, taking her hand in his. "Looks like it's time to start the day," he said, leading her out of the bathroom and towards the kitchen.

As they entered the kitchen, they were greeted by the sight of Anna, Grace, and Lily sitting around the table, bowls of steaming porridge in front of them.

"Good morning, Yuan, Emma," Anna said, smiling warmly at them.

"Good morning," Yuan and Emma replied in unison, taking a seat at the table.

As they began to eat their breakfast, Yuan couldn't help but feel grateful for the family he had. With Emma by his side and his two mothers and sister supporting him, he knew that he could face anything that came his way.

Meanwhile, The grand hallway was a sight to behold, with walls lined with priceless artwork and towering pillars reaching towards the ceiling. In the center of the space sat a plush, luxurious sofa, upon which sat a mature woman and a young man.

The woman was a vision of grace and elegance, her eyes sparkling with kindness and her smile warm and inviting. She held a spoon in her hand, carefully feeding the young man before her, who looked as if he had lost all color in his life.

As the woman brought the spoon to the young man's lips, he hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth, allowing her to feed him the warm, comforting soup.

Elizabeth sighed, her eyes filled with concern as she held the spoon out to her son. "Come on, Jayden, you need to eat something," she said, her voice gentle.

Jayden stared down at the food in front of him, his appetite gone. He had lost all color in his face, and his eyes were empty and devoid of emotion.

"I'm not hungry, Mother," he said, his voice barely a whisper.

Elizabeth frowned, setting the spoon down on the table beside her. "Jayden, you need to eat," she said firmly. "You can't keep doing this to yourself."

Jayden didn't respond, his gaze fixed on the wall in front of him.

Elizabeth reached out to touch his hand, her expression softening. "Please, my son," she said, her voice filled with emotion. "You're breaking my heart."

Jayden turned to look at her, his eyes filled with pain. "I'm sorry, Mother," he said, his voice choked with emotion. "I just can't seem to find the will to go on anymore."

Elizabeth's heart ached at her son's words, and she wrapped her arms around him in a tight embrace. "I know it's hard, my love," she said, her voice filled with tenderness. "But you have to keep trying. You're a strong and capable young man, and I know that you'll find your way back to happiness again."

Jayden buried his face in her shoulder, his tears soaking through her dress. "I hope so, Mother," he said, his voice barely audible.

As Elizabeth held her son, she couldn't help but wonder what had caused him to become like this. She had heard rumors of a young man who had done something terrible to him, but she didn't know who he was or where to find him.

All she knew was that she had to do everything in her power to help her son heal and find his way back to happiness.

Then, Viscount Ethan Lewis, Elizabeth's husband and Jayden's father, walked into the grand hallway with a smile on his face. He was dressed in luxurious clothing that only emphasized his regal bearing and handsome features. As he approached the mother and son pair, he looked at them with concern.

"Elizabeth, my love," he said, his voice deep and resonant. "How is our son doing?"

Elizabeth looked up at her husband, her eyes filled with warmth and love. "He's doing better," she replied. "Thanks to your help and support."

Ethan nodded, a small smile playing at the corners of his lips. "Good," he said, reaching out to touch Jayden's shoulder. "You'll be back to your old self in no time, my boy."

Jayden looked up at his father, his eyes filled with gratitude and hope. "Thank you, Father," he said softly. "I know you'll find the person responsible for this."

Ethan's expression grew stern as he spoke. "I promise you, son," he said, his voice firm and determined. "I will use all of my power and resources to find the culprit and bring them to justice. No one will harm our family and get away with it."

Jayden nodded, his eyes shining with admiration for his father. Elizabeth looked on, a sense of pride and love filling her heart as she watched the bond between her husband and son. Together, the family sat in the grand hallway.
