My Celestial Ascension Chapter 1020: False Accusation
Previously on My Celestial Ascension...
Yuan turned on the television as he sat on the sofa. His expression immediately hardened as soon as the news appeared on the massive TV screen.
[Recently, the famous streamer Luna Lane was harassed by someone at the shopping mall. She was approached by the person in the picture and rejected by him. Instead of accepting the rejection, this unknown person decided to use force against Luna Lane.]
As soon as Anna Grace and the others heard the news on the TV, their expressions immediately turned cold, and the atmosphere around them became heavy.
[This news has sparked a massive online controversy about women’s safety in public places. The video has already reached millions of views and thousands of comments. Followers are searching for the identity of this handsome young man in the picture.]
[Police are currently searching for the suspect. However, they haven’t located him yet. Stay tuned for follow-up news about this serious offense against women’s safety.]
Yuan sat on the sofa with a stunned expression. He wondered when he had ever harassed anyone. He clearly remembered refusing to take a selfie with the young lady in the video.
"Darling, isn’t this the woman from before? The one who asked you to take a picture with her?" Anna Grace asked, her eyes turning cold.
"That’s her. I wonder why she made such a wild accusation even though I didn’t even do anything to her." Yuan replied, a puzzled look on his face.
"Perhaps your rejection made her lose face or something... After all, the news says she has a lot of admirers." Rose said, a serious look on her face.
Everyone felt incredibly furious at the girl called Luna Lane for making such a wild accusation. She was the one who asked for a picture, not the other way around.
And yet, she made a false statement on social media, claiming that Yuan had harassed her in public. This was simply too absurd. She had gone too far with her lie.
After pondering for a moment, Yuan said, "I could think of a few reasons behind her lying on camera."
"And that is?" Valeria raised her brows slightly.
"It’s quite simple, actually. She is an online influencer, a streamer who wants people’s attention so they will watch her streams. And by pulling this stunt, she became more famous than she ever was." Yuan explained.
And he continued, "It’s a common practice among many online influencers. But not all influencers are like her. Some of them are very good people."
"This world is highly developed compared to your world, and the livelihood of people is also different. Here, you can earn money by simply staying at home through the internet."
After hearing Yuan’s words, the entire group fell silent and stared at the TV with dazed expressions on their faces.
"Just what is this internet?" Long Yuyan muttered, unable to understand it.
"Think of the internet like a library where information is stored—a place where a vast amount of information from around the world is gathered in one place." Yuan began explaining the internet, one of the most complex yet groundbreaking innovations in human history.
Listening to Yuan’s explanation, Anna Grace and the others were all shocked. They couldn’t believe that information from around the world was available at their fingertips.
People could learn about almost anything through the internet, and it was so fast that everything happened in the blink of an eye.
People could see each other from opposite sides of the world and talk to them whenever they wanted, all without any significant delay. It simply blew their minds.
"Wow! This ’internet’ is really interesting. Even cultivators who have lived for millions of years haven’t come up with such an idea." Long Yuyan was impressed—far too impressed, in fact.
"There is much to learn from it. For example, we could learn about this world since we don’t know much about it," Mireya said, nodding her head, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
"Definitely." Yuan nodded with a smile.
"Alright. I’ll go and prepare some food since we haven’t eaten anything yet," Anna Grace said as she rose from the sofa and headed toward the kitchen.
"I’ll help," Leah said, following her into the kitchen.
Meanwhile, Long Yuyan and the others watched movies and web series on the TV. They were shocked by the sheer variety of content available on the internet.
It was like they suddenly had access to tens of thousands of plays. It was as if they had entered a theater where they could watch anything they wanted.
Yuan put on a good movie for them to enjoy, and everyone seemed so fascinated by the TV that their eyes were practically glued to the screen.

Patricia appeared outside Villa Number Two with a bouquet and several gifts in her hands. She curiously looked at the villa with a smile.
"Hmmm... Why do I feel so refreshed after entering the property?" she muttered, feeling as though she had stepped into a forest with clean, pure air.
"The air quality here is so pure that simply breathing it makes me forget my exhaustion and worries." She was surprised.
Her villa was not far from this one, and yet the difference was enormous. But how was this even possible?
How could the air quality here be so much better than that of her villa? She couldn’t help but become curious about the difference.
She entered the porch and pressed the doorbell. She waited patiently for someone to open the door.
Inside the villa, Yuan and the others were watching TV when the doorbell suddenly rang, immediately catching Yuan’s attention.
Activating his Divine Sense, he saw a woman in a beautiful white dress waiting outside his door.
’Who is this lady? I’ve never seen her before...’ Yuan pondered for a moment, but he couldn’t recognize her.
"Do you know her?" Suddenly, Lily’s voice came from the side as she stared at him with a suspicious look.
"No. Probably someone from this neighborhood. She has brought welcoming gifts for us," Yuan replied, flatly dismissing her suspicions.
Yuan got up from the sofa and approached the door. When he opened it, he saw the beautiful woman standing there.
"Hello, how can I help you?" Yuan asked with a small smile on his face.
"Hello, I’m Patricia. I brought a welcome gift for you since we’ll be neighbors from now on," she said with a sweet smile, presenting the gifts she had brought.
"Thank you, Miss Patricia," Yuan said, accepting the gifts before introducing himself. "I’m Yuan, by the way. Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too." Patricia smiled.
"Please, come inside," Yuan said, inviting her in.
As soon as Patricia entered, she saw all those girls from the social media posts sitting inside, watching a movie on the television.
A surprised look appeared on her face as she saw several women who were even more beautiful than celebrities and models sitting on the sofa.
’How could such beautiful women exist and not have appeared on the internet before? Any one of them could become a celebrity in no time!’ she cried inwardly, seemingly in disbelief.
"Don’t mind them. Please have a seat. I’ll go and tell Mom to bring some tea for us," Yuan said before immediately heading into the kitchen.
Patricia sat on the sofa with a nervous look on her face, feeling very awkward about the situation, as there were several women sitting around her who were more beautiful than her.
Angela noticed the nervous look on Patricia’s face and greeted her with a smile. "I’m Angela, Yuan’s grandmother. You must be our neighbor, right?"
"Huh?!?!" Patricia froze in place and stared blankly at Angela, completely speechless.
’D-Did she just say she’s his grandmother?! How is this even possible?! She looks like a woman in her thirties to me!’ she screamed inwardly, seemingly in disbelief.
"H-Hello, I’m Patricia, your neighbor. I live in the villa a block away from you—the Number Three villa," Patricia replied, an awkward look on her face.
"Is that so..." Angela chuckled softly before saying, "You must be surprised by my appearance. However, believe it or not, I’m well over eighty."
"What?! This is impossible! You look way too young to be that old!" Patricia exclaimed, a shocked look on her face.
She stared at Angela for a couple of moments before asking, "Are you really his grandmother, or are you just trying to prank me?"
"Why would I lie about my age and relationship to you? I’m indeed his grandmother by blood," Angela said with a soft chuckle.
After that, she introduced everyone to Patricia, and Patricia was shocked as Angela introduced the others to her.
’To think that this woman is really over eighty... How could anyone look so young? Just what is their secret to staying so young?’ she wondered inwardly, extremely curious to know their secret.
"By the way, Patricia, what do you do for a living?" Lily asked, looking at her curiously.
"I run a company. It’s not that big yet, but I’m doing great," she replied with a smile.
"What kind of company is it? I’m really curious," Lily asked.
"My company specializes in high-end jewelry and cosmetics. We also make high-end perfumes." Patricia gave everyone a brief explanation of her company.
"Oh, jewelry and beauty products. I’d love to visit your company if you don’t mind," Lily said, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
"Me too! We will take Big Brother Yuan with us!" Little Zoe said, her excited voice immediately making everyone chuckle.
"Of course. You can visit my company whenever you want." Patricia nodded with a smile.
Shortly afterward, Anna Grace arrived carrying a tray, while Leah followed behind her with a plate of cookies.
Placing the tray on the table, Anna Grace looked at Patricia with a small smile before sitting down on the sofa.
Then she said, "You must be Patricia, our neighbor. Nice to meet you. I’m Anna Grace, Yuan’s mother."
