My Celestial Ascension

Chapter 431 Miasma

?Inside a dark, gloomy chamber, a man was tied to the wall with a blank expression on his face, and his body was severely beaten with hundreds of flogging marks.

The man had no emotion on his face as if he couldn't feel anything after being imprisoned in a dungeon for days and tortured severely without food or water.

He was barely awake and could only move his body slightly due to the anguish he was experiencing. Several bottles of healing remedies lie on the floor, all empty and some damaged.

"Oh! It appears that you have not died yet, which is exciting. Even after torturing you for so long, you're still alive like a cockroach; I must admit, you're quite hilarious!"

Suddenly, a woman's pleasant and seductive voice rang out from the darkness, prompting the man to raise his brow slightly and his breathing to become erratic.

"P-Please! F- Forgive me! I was mistaken; I should not have abandoned the essential mission assigned by The Lord!" As he pleaded for his life, he peered into the darkness with terror on his face, as if a devil stood in front of him.

"Forgive you? Do not be silly, Nicolas! The Lord gave you a purpose, but you abandoned it to have fun with the count's wife." A figure emerged from the darkness and peered at Nicolas with a huge, malicious grin.

The figure who emerged from the darkness was a lovely woman with blond hair and a beautiful face; her eyes were blue with a sadistic expression; and she was dressed in revealing garments that exposed every curve of her body.

The man was captivated by her gorgeous face and form, but he was horrified by the wicked grin on her face as she grasped the whip tightly, and as she approached him slowly, his heart began to race.

"Is that count's wife so attractive that she made you forget about such an important mission? Or are you thinking with that horrible little thing between your legs, rather than your brain?" The woman gazed disgustedly at the man's crotch and looked at the small 'thing' hanging between his legs.

The man was entirely naked, with no clothing on his body. His naked body was on full display as he was tied to the wall.

The man was quite ashamed when the woman called his thing a 'small disgusting thing', which enraged him and made him want to assault this attractive woman right now in retaliation for torturing him for several days.

"You must have had a wonderful time with that little whore, didn't you?!" The woman muttered disdainfully and lashed her whip at Nicolas.

"Aghhhhh!!" Nicolas screamed inhumanly, and his agonizing cry echoed throughout the chamber, making the guards outside quiver with horror.

"How could you overlook such a vital work and waste the Lord's precious time?!"

"Due to your error, we were unable to avenge Trevor and the others, and we also failed to secure the secret. It is all because of you!" The woman proceeded to swing her whip at Nicolas mercilessly, and Nicolas' agonizing scream echoed.

The woman did this act for hours, and when Nicolas was on the edge of passing out from anguish, she would instantly apply a healing potion to his wounds and torture him again.

She maintained this act until all of the healing potions she had on hand were depleted; she had no pity or compassion in her eyes as she tortured Nicolas; she was having fun hurting him and was becoming turned on.

'This is the final potion I have, and since Mr. Black—I mean The Lord had explicitly commanded me not to murder him, I suppose this much punishment is enough for him...He's learned his lesson.' The woman thought with a wicked smirk on her face as she stared at Nicolas, who was going to pass out.

'But I have to confess, I haven't had so much fun torturing someone before, his pained cry still resonating in my ears...This bastard's pained cries made me eager. God, I'm really horny right now!' With a cruel smirk on her face, the woman reached under her garments and caressed her pussy, which was wet from excitement.

"I can't believe I'm so wet after hearing this bastard's terrible cries... I need to use someone to satisfy my lust,' she reasoned, inserting her moist finger in her lips and sucking her own love juice off her fingertips.

She then pulled the last vial of potion from between her boobs and approached Nicolas, who was going to close his eyes and was struggling to stay awake.

'Why doesn't she just murder me rather than continue torturing me inhumanely? Doesn't she have any humanity in her heart?' Nicolas wondered as he watched the woman approach.

"Consider yourself lucky because the Lord has given you a second chance to prove yourself valuable, Nicolas." The woman took the cap off the bottle and used her hand to forcefully open his mouth. "Now drink this; you're useless to the Lord unless you're in good health!"

The woman then violently puts the bottle into Nicolas' lips, leaving him with little choice but to drink the potion or choke to death.

Shortly, a green glow surrounded Nicolas's body, and all of his wounds began to heal extraordinarily quickly, as evident to the naked eye.

Nicolas was completely healed in a matter of minutes, with not a single scratch on his body, as if all of his wounds had vanished.

"You're entirely cured now, and since your punishment is over, there's no reason for you to remain hostage." The woman smiled and snapped her finger, loosening the metal shackles that bound him.

After the restraints were removed, Nicolas fell to his knees, thanking the woman for saving his life. "Madam Selena, thank you for sparing my pathetic life; I am deeply grateful for your mercy."

"Don't say such foolish things to me, Nicolas! Do you understand why I spared you?" The woman, Selena, looked at him with disgust and continued, "It's all because The Lord decided to give you a second chance to correct your error and bring the guy named Yuan here, ALIVE!"

"And if you fail this time, the Lord has decided to punish you on his own," Selena said with a wicked smirk. "So try not to disappoint him, or you will have an even worse experience than you did this week."

Nicolas' face went completely pale as if he had seen a horrible ghost the moment he heard those words.

'It's better to be killed than tortured by The Lord himself; I'd rather commit suicide than face something worse than death!' Nicolas cried inwardly, his body shaking at the notion of being tortured by Mr. Black.

"I-I understand, Madam Selena. This time, I am not going to let him down!" Nicolas remarked, tightening his fists tightly, vowing to himself that he would succeed this time.

'I need to grab Yuan and bring him here if I want to survive. If I fail...I will not be able to hide anyplace on this continent; Mr. Black will undoubtedly discover me in the twinkling of an eye.' Nicolas considered with a serious expression on his face before standing up.

"Good. I hope you don't disappoint us this time, as you already know the implications of failing to do so..." With these remarks, Selena gently walked out of the room, her enormous, juicy buttocks jiggling with each step.

Nicolas forgot for a second that this lovely woman had tortured him inhumanely for days and had shown him no kindness at all.

"Yuan…It is all because of him! Because of the brat, I had to endure inhumane torment for a week!" Nicolas concentrated all of his rage upon Yuan, believing that he was the reason he had suffered under Madam Selena.

"Once I capture you, I'll treat you the same way Madam Selena treated me; only then will you understand how much I've endured!" He tightened his fists and roared in rage, remembering how Selena tortured him senselessly.

—

Yuan was going side by side with his two mothers, Anna and Grace, who had been clingy to him throughout the morning and refused to let go of his arm.

Because of this, Lily was casting an envious glare at them, with an angered expression on her face. Anyone other than Yuan and his wives who saw Lily's expression shivered in terror as if they were looking at the most frightening beast.

'I can't believe Mom Anna and Mom Grace are becoming so clingy to him for no reason; they should at least consider my sentiments; I also want to hug my little brother like that!' Lily murmured inside a disappointed expression on her face.

Meanwhile, Emma and the others couldn't help but giggle softly when they saw Lily's envy, and Lily sneered angrily at them when she noticed them laughing at her.

Sylvia has been confessing her love to Yuan and learning about cultivation from him for three days, and when she had understood the majority of the fundamental principles of cultivation, she was taken aback by this new revelation.

She nearly couldn't believe that people could do things that magicians stated were impossible, despite the fact that magic is said to be all-powerful and responsible for the origin of life.

However, after learning about the enigmatic force known as Qi from Yuan, she could only see magic as useless and of little use, whereas cultivation can make a person eternal, possibly a deity one day.

However, because Yuan does not want to teach them how to grow this perilous forest, Mireya and Valeria must wait till they leave this godforsaken jungle.

"Everyone! Halt! Danger ahead!"

A loud yell rang out from ahead, and everyone stopped in their tracks, including Yuan and his wives.

Because there were so many people ahead of them, their perspective was obscured, so Yuan and several of his wives used their divine sense to see what was going on in front.

As soon as they opened their divine senses, they were surprised to discover a dense red mist enveloping the land ahead.

And then they hear an astonished voice from the front, filled with wonder and awe.

"Isn't this the miasma that indicates it will serve as a barrier between the forest's Core Area and the Middle Area?!"
