My Celestial Ascension-Chapter 506: Fashion Heaven
Yuan and his wives stood before a magnificent building that spoke of luxury and extravagance. In front of the building was a beautiful water fountain that used magic to make the water flow. The sight was stunning, with a spacious parking area for aristocrats to park their luxurious carriages, and there were even servants to help the nobles park their carriages or take care of their horses.
"Is this the shop you mentioned to us, Mireya? It's massive; I'm surprised!" Yuan looked at the massive structure before him with a dazed look on his face. The building looked exactly like the buildings from ancient Rome, with similar architecture.
"Indeed. The owner of this shop is actually a dear friend of mine, and she often told me to come visit her shop. Unfortunately, I didn't have spare time to visit her before," Mireya nodded with a small smile on her face.
"Is that so? I guess your friend will be overjoyed to finally see you at her shop, won't she?" Yuan looked at her and smiled.
"Hmm, I'm not sure how she will react to this… she probably would have a hard time believing that I got myself a husband before her, fufu~" Mireya giggled, imagining the expression her supposed 'friend' would make knowing that she got herself a very handsome husband.
"I see… Well, whatever, let's go inside and do what we came for," Yuan said before entering the building. His wives nodded and followed him closely.
Upon entering the building, Miss Zara, Little Zoe, and Leah were surprised by the grandeur of the interior of the shop. There were numerous servants tending to the nobles and showing them around until their eyes caught something.
Not only that, there were rows of clothes neatly arranged in an orderly manner, allowing the customers to have easy access to the items and take a close look at the outfits before deciding to buy them.
Miss Zara, Little Zoe, and Leah looked at the clothes hanging on the hangers with amazement, their eyes sparkling upon seeing the numerous beautiful clothes with unique designs. Each piece had a different yet unique design, making them look very distinct from one another, and each was finely crafted by very experienced clothing designers.
"Wow! All the dresses in this shop look so beautiful! Zoe likes them all!" Little Zoe exclaimed, looking at so many beautiful clothes she couldn't contain her excitement.
"Indeed. Not only are those clothes beautiful, but the quality of the fabric used to make them is also exceptionally high," Miss Zara responded, nodding her head. Inwardly, she was worried, knowing that the price of the clothes here would be very expensive.
"I'm really excited to try some of the beautiful dresses here!" Little Zoe said, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
Unfortunately, those dresses wouldn't fit her as they were too big. Yuan and his wives had to look for clothes that fit Little Zoe's small figure, but it wasn't a problem as there was a special section for children's clothes.
At this moment, a woman arrived before them wearing a salesgirl uniform from the shop, with a gentle smile on her face.
"Welcome to Fashion Heaven, Guests! How may I help you?"
"Tell Lady Natasha that Miss Mireya wants to meet her," Mireya said to the salesgirl with a commanding tone, making the girl immediately raise her brows.
'Who is this woman? How does she know that this shop is owned by Lady Natasha?' The salesgirl looked at Yuan and his wives from head to toe and shook her head. 'I better inform the lady about this; most of them have a powerful aura around their bodies, and they might belong to a powerful aristocratic family from the empire.'
"Please give me a moment; I'll immediately inform my lady about you. In the meantime, please have a look around the shop," the salesgirl said with a smile and left hurriedly, as if there was a monster chasing her from behind.
Once the salesgirl left, Yuan and his wives wandered around the shop and looked at the various types of clothes on display. There were clothes for all kinds of people, with unique designs and appearances, and most of the clothes were very expensive, each costing over fifty gold coins.
For commoners, fifty gold coins was a huge sum of money—equivalent to five thousand silver coins. They could live carefree for almost six months with that much money. Upon seeing the prices of the dresses, Miss Zara's expression turned pale, and her forehead was covered with sweat as if she had seen a ghost.
"Oh, there you are, esteemed guests! I've been looking for you," they suddenly heard the familiar voice of the salesgirl from behind while they were examining a few dresses that caught their interest.
"Oh, it's you… What did Lady Natasha say?" Mireya asked, raising her brows and staring deeply at the girl.
"My lady invited all of you to her private chamber, Lady Mireya," the girl quickly responded and slightly bowed.
"Oh, you seem to know me… how amusing!"
"My lady instructed me to give you the same respect I give her," the salesgirl replied.
"I see… Then lead us to Lady Natasha, whom I haven't seen for a long time. It would be impolite to keep her waiting, fufu~" Mireya giggled.
'It would be a wonderful sight to see that bitch's surprised expression when she sees me with my husband… I can't wait for her reaction! Fufu~' Mireya stole a quick glance at Yuan and giggled inwardly.
"Very well. Please follow me; Lady Natasha's private chamber is on the top floor of the building," the salesgirl said, leading them to the chamber where the woman named Natasha was waiting for them.
It took them five minutes to arrive at the fourth floor of the building, which was also the top floor. It took so long due to their talking and glancing at the numerous sections for clothes.
The temperature inside the building was always maintained at a comfortable and relaxed level with the help of magic; hundreds of magic stones were required to power this building. The lamps installed in every corner of the building used mana to glow and light up the rooms, powered by mana stones, as the lights couldn't use the ambient mana to function.
The top floor of the building had a small garden built in, an artificial garden with rare plants and flowers. One could smell the sweet fragrance of the flowers and enjoy the refreshing air that calmed everyone's mind.
"Wow! So many beautiful flowers! This is amazing!" Little Zoe exclaimed and began to run through the flowers with an excited smile on her face.
"My dear, don't run like that! You might trip and get hurt!" Miss Zara shouted, worried, as she saw her daughter running around.
She was more worried that her innocent daughter might accidentally damage the expensive flower pots and antique vases placed all over the place. Yuan and his wives, meanwhile, weren't worried about such things and chuckled upon seeing the excited smile on the little girl's face.
"It seems that she is having fun in here…" Yuan mumbled in a low voice and chuckled.
"That little girl has always been like this; she loves all kinds of flowers, and whenever she sees flowers, she gets excited," Miss Zara smiled.
"Fufu~ It is common for a girl to like flowers… I think it's beautiful!" Anna Grace added with a smile.
"I see…" Miss Zara couldn't help but smile at her daughter after hearing this. She wanted nothing more than her daughter's happiness.
Shortly, they arrived before the private chamber, and the salesgirl said, "This is it! Lady Natasha is currently inside the room. Please go inside."
"I wonder what she is doing inside the private chamber all alone…" Mireya mumbled in a low voice before she pushed open the door.
Even the door was coated with gold and had many intricate designs drawn on it, looking beautiful and matching the surroundings perfectly.
"My oh my, look at who's here, Lady Mireya and her assistant Miss Sylvia. I never thought you would be visiting us despite me inviting you so many times."
As soon as Mireya and Sylvia entered the private chamber, a sweet yet seductive voice greeted them.
"It's been a while, Lady Natasha. How have you been these days? And sorry for appearing here without notifying you about our visit," Mireya greeted her back with a smile.
"It's no problem. Think of this place as yours; you can visit me at any time, Lady Mireya."
"I hope Lady Natasha is doing well these days…" Sylvia also greeted her, slightly bowing.
"I'm doing well, my dear. How about you?"
"I'm also doing fine, Lady Natasha."
Yuan and his wives, as well as Miss Zara and Little Zoe, also entered, following Mireya and Sylvia. Lady Natasha was shocked, her mouth wide open in disbelief.
'That young man… who is this young man? How can he be so handsome and charming?' Lady Natasha was shocked by Yuan's handsome appearance and almost couldn't believe her eyes.
'And who are those women beside him? Are they also with Mireya and Sylvia? When did she make so many new friends? I'm so jealous…!' Lady Natasha pondered, feeling slightly jealous of Mireya.
'Not only is the young man handsome, but the women with him are also incredibly beautiful. Their beauty transcends what mere mortals should possess. Where did Mireya meet such unique individuals?'
Lady Natasha took a deep breath to calm her mind and looked at Mireya with a small smile on her beautiful face. She asked, "Mireya, do you mind telling me who these incredible people are with you? I don't think I've seen them with you before. I'm very curious."
