My Celestial Ascension-Chapter 779: Bathroom Chatting

Once everyone was seated comfortably on the sofas inside the Frozen Palace, Enzo admired the room’s interior for a few seconds before speaking, "Lord Nicolas, you’ve clearly put great effort into decorating this palace. It must have cost a fortune to acquire such legendary items."

The room was filled with many decorative pieces of great value. Some came from legendary magical beasts—like the head of a Purple Lightning Tiger, a species that is now extinct.

And there were numerous such items neatly arranged throughout the room, astonishing the members of the Drake Clan.

"These are nothing compared to what you must possess, Lord Enzo. After all, a clan that has defeated many legendary dragons would surely have much greater treasures than mine," Nicolas said with a modest laugh as he sat down on the sofa. He behaved with surprising humility for the head of such a massive clan.

"You flatter me, Lord Nicolas," Enzo replied, laughing heartily.

He then turned toward Denise, who was sitting quietly on the sofa, and said, "Lord Nicolas, allow me to introduce my eldest son—Denise Drake. He is the most promising and talented heir of our Drake Clan. And also, your future son-in-law."

"Denise—a powerful name for the future leader of the Drake Clan. He certainly has a bright future ahead of him, and he’s quite handsome as well. A perfect husband for my dear daughter," Nicolas said with a satisfied nod as he looked at Denise.

"You’re too kind, Lord Nicolas. But I’m still inexperienced and have a lot to learn. There are people in this world far more talented than I am, so I don’t consider myself a genius," Denise replied, speaking with a bashful expression, though clearly proud after being praised by his future father-in-law.

"Hahaha! You’re too humble, Denise. That humility shows your intelligence. I believe you’ll even surpass your father someday," Nicolas said with a laugh. Indeed, Denise seemed quite mature for someone only twenty years old.

’I made the right decision agreeing to this marriage. He has a bright and promising future and will surely make my daughter happy,’ Nicolas thought as he continued smiling throughout the conversation.

Denise glanced around and asked, "By the way, where is Lady Aisha? Why don’t I see her?"

"Aisha is probably getting ready. You should know how girls are—they take their time preparing. After all, their appearance matters a lot to them," Nicolas replied.

"I see..." Denise nodded, letting out a soft sigh.

Seeing the slightly dissatisfied look on his future son-in-law’s face, Nicolas suggested, "Why don’t we enjoy some fine tea while we wait for Aisha? We can have a nice chat in the meantime."

"Indeed. There is much to talk about," Enzo agreed with a smile.

Then, Nicolas turned toward one of the servants in the room and said, "Go and bring Aisha here quickly. It’s disrespectful to keep our guests waiting."

"As you wish, My Lord."

The servant nodded and immediately left the room to fetch Aisha for the waiting guests.

Meanwhile, Angela, Anna, Grace, and the other women—except for Selvariel, Aisha, and Valeria—headed toward the bathroom to take a bath.

Anna and Grace offered to help Angela with cleaning her body, as Angela was still weak. She hadn’t recovered from her years of frailty, so she had to rely on others for her bath.

Angela immediately accepted their offer. After all, she had many questions she wanted to ask, and a bath felt like the perfect setting to bring up some sensitive topics that had been lingering in her mind ever since the two returned to the clan after so long.

There were many bathrooms in the clan, so Anna and Grace told their daughters-in-law to enter a separate bathroom, as they wanted to talk privately with their mother.

Miss Zara and Little Zoe joined Emma and the others as they entered the bathroom next door to the one where Anna, Grace, and Angela had gone.

Once inside, Anna held her mother firmly while Grace helped her remove her clothes. And once Angela stood naked before them, they gently placed her into the warm water, leaning her against the edge of the massive bathtub.

After that, Anna and Grace got completely undressed before joining Angela in the bathtub, leaning against the edge of the tub with a relaxed look on their faces.

"So, how is your life with so many daughters-in-law? And some of them aren’t even human," Angela asked with a curious smile as she looked at them.

"It’s actually quite relaxing. Our daughters-in-law are very friendly with each other. They all love our darling so much. But... there are two who always try to poke at each other’s nerves," Anna replied with a soft smile, recalling the moments when Xi Meili would mock Fang Xiaoyan and start bickering.

"And who could those two be? They all seem calm and composed. I can’t imagine them fighting," Angela said, raising her brows, her curiosity piqued.

Anna smiled softly and replied, "It’s Xi Meili and Fang Xiaoyan. Those two always try to get on each other’s nerves by teasing and mocking one another."

"Hmm. That Xi Meili girl... What kind of demihuman is she? She has horns and scales on her body. Is she a half-dragon?" Angela asked, her eyes filled with curiosity. freewebnσvel.cøm

"Not just a half-dragon—she’s a true dragon. A primordial dragon—Primordial Chaos Dragon. One of the oldest beings that came into existence before the world itself. But right now, she’s just a child. She’s not even a year old," Anna explained with a proud look on her face.

And she continued, "As for Fang Xiaoyan, she’s a Phoenix. Another being that existed before the world did. We call them Divine Beasts. They are truly godlike beings."

"However, Fang Xiaoyan is about the same age as Lily. But she’s extremely prideful and very arrogant. It’s in her blood. She’s the most arrogant and proud being in the entire universe."

Angela was dazed upon hearing this. She couldn’t believe how powerful Xi Meili and Fang Xiaoyan truly were after learning about their identities.

She had known they were extraordinary, but she never imagined they’d be this remarkable. Her grandson was indeed an exceptional young man to have such powerful wives.

"And what about Emma? Is she also a powerful Divine Beast?" Angela asked her daughters, curious to know what kind of Divine Beast Emma might be.

"She’s not a Divine Beast, but she carries the blood of a very ancient one. She’s a beastman from the Snake Tribe—and she’s very dangerous, if you ask me," Grace replied, shaking her head gently, her expression cold.

And she continued, "Her poison could even kill an SSS-rank magical beast in the blink of an eye. Even breathing the same air as her could kill someone instantly. Her bodily fluids are poisonous too."

"I’d say she’s the most dangerous being in this world. No one is safe from her poison—except us. We took her in when she was about to be sold as a slave, before Yuan was even born, and she’s been with us ever since."

"And she loves darling so much that she’s extremely submissive to him. And darling loves her dearly too," Grace finished her explanation.

Angela felt a chill run down her spine after hearing about Emma from her daughters. She was stunned that even inhaling the same air as Emma could be fatal.

’What a terrifying power...!!’ she cried inwardly.

Suddenly, a realization struck her. She remembered how Nicolas had suddenly started vomiting blood, even though no one had laid a finger on him.

"Was she responsible for that bastard’s injuries before?" Angela asked, raising her brows with curiosity.

"Nope," Grace replied with a wide grin, shaking her head. "I was the one responsible for his condition. I released a bit of my power and made him suffer. He was so weak he couldn’t handle the pressure I was emitting."

Angela’s eyes widened in disbelief, stunned that Grace was behind Nicolas’s injuries.

’Just how powerful have my daughters become, to do something like that without lifting a finger... This is incredible!’ Angela cried inwardly in shock.

Meanwhile, Yuan was enjoying his time with his aunt and Valeria, since Selvariel had gone to her room—feeling out of place with Yuan.

Yuan pulled Aisha into his arms and made her sit on his lap. Aisha’s cheeks immediately turned red, as Valeria was still in the room watching everything.

"W-What are you doing, Yuan? Valeria is still here..." Aisha whispered into his ear, her face flushed with embarrassment.

"So what? It’s not like she doesn’t know. Everyone knows you’ve fallen in love with me, Aunt Aisha," Yuan said with a smile, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her closer.

Knock! Knock!

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door, and a voice came from the other side.

"Lady Aisha, are you ready yet? The guests have already arrived."

"For what? Tell them to leave. I have no interest in meeting them," Aisha said, pushing Yuan aside and responding in a cold, emotionless tone.

"But the Clan Head asked you to come immediately and meet them. Young Master Denise from the Drake Clan is here to see you and discuss marriage. You’re so lucky to have caught his attention with your beauty, Lady Aisha. He’s so handsome!" the female servant responded from the other side of the door.

"Haven’t I given you my answer? Then why are you still here?" Aisha snapped. "Go and tell that bastard I have no intention of meeting that ugly fool or marrying him. And if you think he’s so handsome, go marry him yourself!" Aisha shouted in a furious voice, leaving the servant trembling.

She ran away from there in a panic.
