My Celestial Ascension - Chapter 820: Lawless City— Grimhaven

Chapter 820: Lawless City— Grimhaven

Anna Grace looked at Yuan with a cold expression, though inwardly she felt a faint pang of guilt, wondering if she had gone too far with the “punishment.” Red marks still lingered across his body.

’It’s fine. He needs to learn not to make me worry like that ever again. He deserves this lesson,’ she told herself, her gaze unwavering as she studied her beloved son.

“Did you learn from this? Are you going to repeat the same mistake again, Darling?” she asked, her voice cold yet laced with a strange allure, her stern eyes fixed on him.

Yuan quickly nodded, too afraid to meet her eyes directly. He knew one wrong move could spark her anger again—and perhaps more punishment.

’This is unbelievable! Where did my kind, gentle, and overprotective Mom go?! This isn’t like her at all—she suddenly turned so cold and cruel!’ Yuan cried inwardly, shivering under her gaze.

With a sharp grin, Anna Grace pressed on. “Not only did you break your promise to return, but you even brought home another woman. While we stayed awake worrying, you were enjoying yourself with her.”

She leaned closer, her voice trembling with restrained emotion. “Do you know how much I’ve missed you? I couldn’t sleep because you weren’t here to hold. You have to take responsibility for that.” Rising from the bed, she stepped toward him. “Apologize to me—for making me worry. Now!”

“I’m sorry, Mom! I’m truly sorry. Please forgive me—I won’t ever do it again.” Yuan bowed his head, guilt written across his face.

“Are you really sorry?” she pressed, narrowing her eyes. “Or are you just pretending to pity this poor old mother of yours?”

“No! I’m not pretending. I really do feel sorry, Mom,” Yuan answered at once, his eyes glistening with sincerity.

Anna Grace searched his face carefully. When she found nothing but honesty in his expression, her sharpness began to fade, her eyes and features softening at last.

“Good. Very good, now that you understand your mistake,” Anna Grace said softly, her coldness easing as she guided him back to the bed. She sat down and pulled his head onto her lap, gently stroking his hair.

“Don’t ever do it again, okay?” she whispered, her voice now warm, though still carrying authority. She pressed a tender kiss to his forehead. “Does it still hurt? Should I give you a recovery pill?”

“No need, Mom. The marks will fade soon,” Yuan replied quietly, resting against her, comforted despite his soreness. Then, with a small, tired smile, he added, “But… after getting punished so hard, I feel hungry. You’ll have to take responsibility for that, too.”

Anna Grace chuckled at his words, her sternness finally melting away.

“Fufu~ So my poor son is already making demands? Fine… I’ll take care of you. Just this once.” She smiled and held him closer, her warmth easing the pain left by her punishment.

“Go ahead, darling. Drink as much as you like,” Anna Grace said with a gentle smile, pulling his face toward her breasts.

Yuan nodded and opened his mouth wide before he began to suck, a faint smile finally forming on his lips.

“Darling… did you force Vrasha to become your woman?” Anna Grace asked softly, her voice tender as she smiled down at him while he continued to drink.

Yuan shook his head as he drank, filling his belly with her thick, sweet milk. His arms wrapped gently around her waist, making Anna Grace’s smile deepen as she gazed at him.

Meanwhile, outside the room, Emma and the others sighed in relief as soon as Yuan’s screams finally stopped echoing from inside.

“Thankfully, it’s over. I just hope he’s doing fine…” Julie muttered, taking a deep breath before sighing softly.

“He’s a strong man. He’ll be fine. Besides, I doubt Mother-in-law would go too far with the punishment. After all, Yuan means everything to her,” Emma said with a soft chuckle.

“I couldn’t agree more. No matter what, she won’t be too hard on him,” Rose added with a smile, nodding her head.

“Shall we head to the garden and let them catch up in peace?” Angela suggested with a smirk, already guessing what was about to happen inside the room.

“Let’s go. I don’t want Mother-in-law Anna Grace getting angry at me,” Leah nodded at the suggestion.

“I’ll inform the servants to prepare some fine tea for us. I’ll join you all in the garden shortly,” Mireya said before disappearing from sight.

Moments after Mireya left, soft moans began echoing from the room. Everyone instantly understood what was happening inside and quietly left the area.

Vrasha, however, was left puzzled by all this. Her worries for Yuan lingered, yet she still followed the others to the garden.

A few minutes later, Emma and the rest sat on the soft grass. Their curious gazes soon fell upon Vrasha.

“You’re an ogre, aren’t you?” Julie asked with a spark of excitement in her eyes.

“That’s right,” Vrasha admitted with a small smile, then asked awkwardly, “Um… do you think I look strange? My skin is grey, and I’m much larger compared to all of you.”

“Not at all.” Julie shook her head, smiling warmly. “You’re actually very beautiful… seductive, even. Otherwise, why would Yuan pursue you?”

“She’s right. And Vrasha, you have no idea how perverted our husband can be. You’ll understand in time,” Leah added with a mischievous grin.

“Perverted…?” Vrasha whispered in confusion. She couldn’t help but wonder what kind of lewd habits Yuan had, since all his wives seemed to hint at it.

Some time later, Yuan and Anna Grace entered the bathroom after their heated lovemaking session, their bodies still covered in each other’s fluids.

Once inside, Yuan sank into the pool of warm water, leaning against the edge of the large bathtub with a look of relief.

Anna Grace soon sat on his lap, leaning against his chest. With a gentle smile, she rested her head against him and wrapped her arms around him in a tender embrace.

At this time, all the markings had vanished from his body, and his face returned to normal. Yuan couldn’t bring himself to be angry with her—he simply loved her too much.

In his eyes, her actions were justified. After all, he had made her and the others worry by failing to return as he had promised.

’Look at her now… acting all lovey-dovey with me like nothing happened. She can be so scary sometimes… and cruel as well,’ Yuan thought with a heavy sigh, gazing at her relaxed face.

’She looks so beautiful like this. I still can’t believe she beat me so badly just moments ago, and now we’re acting so tender as if nothing happened. This is simply unbelievable!’ Yuan sighed again before gently moving his hands to cup her breasts.

Anna Grace immediately sensed his touch. She lifted her gaze to meet his, a soft smile on her lips, and asked, “Are you feeling hungry again, Darling? If you want, you can suck them once more—I won’t mind.”

“Though… try not to suck too hard, or I might be tempted into another intense round with you… hehe!” Anna Grace teased with a playful, seductive grin.

“Alright, I’ll be careful…” Yuan nodded before latching onto her breasts, drinking her milk once again.

Anna Grace couldn’t help but smile as she watched him suckle like a child. The memory of when he was a baby, always clinging to her breasts, resurfaced vividly in her mind.

As the moon rose high after sunset, a woman quietly walked through the long hallway of the Imperial Palace of the Golden Lion Empire. Her steps were steady, making almost no sound.

“Father is useless… even as emperor of this cursed empire. He’s too afraid to deal with that bitch from the Elven Kingdom. How laughable. Truly unfit as a ruler,” Lindsey muttered bitterly, her teeth clenched as she continued down the hall.

Before long, she slipped outside the palace without alerting a soul. If her father discovered she was sneaking out at night, his fury would be unimaginable.

Waiting beyond the gates was a carriage, and beside it stood her assistant—a middle-aged wolf beastman with long grey hair and a face lined with wrinkles.

“Princess Lindsey, the carriage is prepared. Shall we depart?” the assistant asked with a smirk, bowing slightly.

“Let’s go. We mustn’t let anyone discover my plans. They would only stand in my way,” Princess Lindsey replied coldly before stepping into the carriage.

Once seated, she said, “You already know the location. Move quickly—before they realize I’m missing from my room.”

“As you wish, Princess Lindsey. But be warned—the place we’re visiting is extremely dangerous. Thousands of ruthless criminals gather there. Please, always wear a mask so no one recognizes you,” the wolf beastman said with a grave expression before closing the carriage door.

“I’ll keep that in mind. I’m not a child anymore—I can take care of myself just fine,” Princess Lindsey replied coldly, her tone distant.

Soon, the carriage rolled forward, gradually gaining speed. Within minutes, it had already left the Imperial City.

At the gates, the guards immediately opened the passage upon seeing the Princess’s carriage, unwilling to risk angering her by delaying.

Everyone in the empire knew of her cruelty. Those who defied her met swift punishment, and every day people perished due to her ruthless demands and unreasonable whims.

“The Grimhaven City—the lawless haven of this continent, ruled entirely by criminals. A perfect place for me to place an assassination bounty on that lowly Queen…” Princess Lindsey muttered with a wide grin before pulling a mask from her magic pouch and placing it over her face.

The Grimhaven City—untouched by any empire, tribe, or kingdom. A domain ruled solely by notorious crime syndicates, infamous not only across the continent but even beyond.

It wasn’t ruled by just one power, but by four major criminal organizations that maintained a twisted order in the city, with countless smaller gangs operating under their influence.

First among them was the Green Viper Organization—a syndicate specializing in assassination and gambling, controlling the eastern district where their gambling houses thrived.

Their leader was a dangerously seductive woman, her beauty renowned throughout the entire city. Known by the title Lady Death—Nyx Serphentine—she had gained infamy for her mastery of deadly poisons.
