My Celestial Ascension

Aisha approached her handsome nephew and embraced him warmly. She kissed him on the cheeks and forehead with a sweet smile, pressing her body against his.

"I'll see you right after the auction ends. I'm planning to win it so our clan can become stronger than the others. If you miss me, you can always come to my VIP room," Aisha whispered into his ear with a seductive voice, taking a long whiff of his scent, and her eyes rolled back from the pleasure and excitement.

Yuan wrapped his arms around her and hugged her tightly, pulling her even closer before kissing her cheek.

"I'll visit you when I feel like it, my dear aunt," Yuan replied softly, making her body tense up suddenly.

Aisha looked at him with surprise before chuckling. "I'll be waiting for you, my dear nephew…"

"Don't worry, I will definitely go to your room and meet you. I promise," Yuan whispered into her ear before releasing the hug with a smile.

Aisha smiled back and quickly headed toward her VIP room, where Jones must be waiting.

Once Aisha left, Yuan and his wives also headed to their VIP room, the same one they had previously used to attend the auction.

Upon entering, Anna Grace pushed Yuan onto the sofa and immediately sat on his lap, facing him with a playful grin.

"What were you whispering to Aunt Aisha, Darling? Are you planning to spend time with her tonight?" Anna Grace asked, her voice sweet and soothing.

Yuan chuckled. "You're such a tease, Mom. You already know what we talked about and still acting surprised."

"What can I say? I love to tease my baby boy…only sometimes, and it's that time." Anna Grace chuckled, snuggling into his chest with a blissful smile as she wrapped her arms around him.

"Mom, I'm not a child anymore," Yuan said to her with a smile.

Anna Grace kissed him on the cheek before smiling warmly. "For me, you will always be my baby boy. And I love cuddling you like this."

"Sure, sure, whatever… I can't stop you from hugging me like this, because I just love you too much." Yuan kissed her on the forehead before embracing her tenderly, waiting for the auction to begin.

Miss Zara and Little Zoe sat on the sofa next to him. The sofa was spacious enough for the mother-and-daughter pair, and they both seemed excited about the auction—especially Little Zoe, whose eyes sparkled with excitement and anticipation.

As Yuan pampered his mother in his embrace, he suddenly sensed a flicker of killing intent directed at his VIP room from the other side of the stadium.

'This killing intent… I know this guy. He didn't leave the Imperial Palace even after receiving a beating from me.'

A wide grin appeared on his face as he recognized the person targeting his VIP room.

Not just him—Fang Xiaoyan, Xi Meili, and Valeria also sensed the killing intent and were surprised to find that it was Denise who was emitting it.

"Honey, should I go and end that fool's life? He's getting really cocky even after receiving a humiliating beating from you. He hasn't learned his lesson," Valeria said with a chilling grin, unable to tolerate such insolence from a lowlife like Denise of the Drake Clan.

"There's no need to dirty your hands, my dear. We shouldn't waste our attention on mere mortals. Instead, we should focus on the important event ahead," Yuan said with a soft chuckle, calming Valeria's anger.

"Look! Lady Teressa is here!" Little Zoe shouted, pointing her tiny finger at the stadium ground.

Down below, Lady Teressa made her entrance with a charming smile, her hips swaying seductively with every step, drawing the attention of many men in the audience.

She wore a skin-tight outfit that exuded a seductive allure, and her confident expression only added to her captivating presence as she stood proudly on the stage.

"Hello, everyone! After the interference of the infamous Golden Skull Organization, the auction was forcefully postponed until today. I'm sure many of you were disappointed by our decision."

"And for that, I—Teressa—apologize to you all. Welcome to today's auction!"

Teressa's sweet and melodious voice resounded throughout the stadium as she began speaking, drawing everyone's attention.

"Thanks to His Imperial Majesty, an incident like before will not happen again, as the city's security has been doubled. Furthermore, the Emperor himself has slaughtered the remaining members of the Golden Skull Organization who had been hiding in the city."

"So, there is no chance of the Golden Skull Organization attacking us again," Teressa said with a soft smile before continuing, "Now, let's begin the auction, shall we?"

As soon as she finished speaking, two servants entered the stage, carrying a wooden box—the same one from the previous auction that had contained the mythical treasure, the Purple Poison Dagger.

The servants carefully placed the box on the display table and immediately opened it, revealing a breathtakingly beautiful purple-colored dagger. The moment it was unveiled, the entire stadium was flooded with a surge of powerful mana radiating from the weapon.

"It's the Purple Poison Dagger—a mythical treasure. I'm sure everyone here is already familiar with this weapon, so I won't waste your time by introducing it again," Teressa said with a smile, presenting the dagger for all to see.

Gasps and murmurs erupted throughout the audience:

"It's the Purple Poison Dagger! They actually recovered it from the Golden Skull Organization!"

"I can't believe Lady Teressa was telling the truth earlier! Unbelievable!"

"Now we have another chance to bid on this mythical treasure! This is amazing!"

Excitement spread like wildfire as the crowd eagerly anticipated the start of the bidding.

Teressa scanned the stadium with a radiant smile before announcing, "Now, let the bidding begin! There is no limit to how high you can bid for this treasure. As long as your bid is no less than one million gold coins, you may participate in the auction."

As soon as people heard this, the stadium erupted with excitement as bidders rushed to claim the treasure for themselves.

"20 million gold coins!"

"40 million gold coins!"

"90 million gold coins!" Denise's voice rang out across the stadium, instantly drawing attention to his VIP room. His absurdly high bid left many people stunned.

'Once I get my hands on this weapon, I'll make that bastard and his women pay for what they've done to me! They must pay for their sins!' Denise seethed inwardly, his fists clenching tightly in frustration and rage.

"150 million gold coins!"

The bid came from Princess Livia of the Holy Light Empire, shocking the audience once again.

Inside her VIP room, Holy Son Arthur turned to her with a serious expression.

"Princess Livia, we must win this auction. This treasure is exactly what the Church of Light needs to strengthen its foundation across the other nations."

"Don't worry, Holy Son," Livia replied with a confident smile, nodding slightly. "I have no intention of losing this battle. We must acquire this treasure."

'I must secure this weapon… for the Imperial Family. Once we obtain it, the Holy Church of Light and Justice will have no choice but to submit to us.' Livia thought to herself, her smile fading as her gaze turned serious.

"170 million gold coins!"

The bid came from Heidi's VIP room, her voice ringing loud and clear through the stadium. Continue your journey with My Virtual Library Empire

"There's no way I'm missing out on this," Heidi murmured with a smirk. "And there's no way I'm letting anyone else take this treasure—it's mine."

Beside her, Veni let out a nervous chuckle. "Indeed. But we can't let our guard down just yet. Who knows if that crazy woman will place another absurd bid?"

Heidi's smirk faltered for a moment. "Thanks for reminding me about her, Veni. I almost forgot." Then, flashing a wry smile, she added, "Really, thank you."

"200 million gold coins!"

A powerful voice suddenly echoed across the stadium—it was King Richard. Instantly, all eyes turned toward his VIP room.

"250 million gold coins!"

The bid came from Emperor Philip, who raised the price by a staggering 50 million in one go, leaving the audience in shock.

Inside his VIP room, Denise clenched his fists, his expression twisted in frustration.

"Damn it! That foolish emperor! Increasing the bid by 50 million in one go—what an idiot!" he muttered through gritted teeth.

His fury only grew as he slammed his fist onto the table. "Just you wait! I'll make you pay for getting in my way! That dagger should be mine!" he roared. Fortunately, the voice isolation barrier in his VIP room ensured that no one outside could hear his outburst.

"300 million gold coins!"

The entire stadium fell into stunned silence as Aisha made her bid, leaving many speechless.

But with thousands of wealthy and powerful individuals present at the auction, the competition was far from over.

"310 million gold coins!"

"325 million gold coins!"

One after another, the bids kept climbing. No one among the wealthy elite was willing to let go of such a legendary mythical treasure—a weapon that only appeared once in a thousand years.

Before long, the bid skyrocketed to 400 million gold coins, leaving the audience completely stunned by the absurd price for a single dagger.
