Chapter 706 The Obedient Cordelia


    For the first time, Cordelia realized that Emrys had already grown into a mature young man.


    She had never had that feeling before.


    Even before, when Cordelia found out that Emrys was actually the Empyrean Lord, she never had such


    a feeling. She was just silently proud of him.


    Deep down, she still regarded him as her little brother, intending to look after him.


    Until that moment, when Emrys‘ hand touched her head, and she saw his indulgent expression,


    Cordelia suddenly realized that Emrys had grown up so much.


    Of course, that was also due to Emrys always acting frivolously in front of Cordelia, like a child who


    never grew up.


    Even if there were just a few fleeting moments when Emrys stepped forward, positioning himself in


    front of Cordelia and protecting her from any form of bullying, Cordelia felt that he had grown up and


    be someone she could rely on.


    However, soon after dealing with those viins, he reverted back to his devil–may–care attitude.


    As a result, Cordelia felt as if she was under an illusion, realizing that Emrys had not grown up after all.


    However, things were different that day.

    Emrys was rarely serious, but when he earnestly spoke these words, they touched the softest part of


    Cordelia’s heart directly.From N?velDrama.Org.


    And so Cordelia did not retort, resist, or continue to feign aloofness. Instead, she behaved like an


    obedient little girl, allowing the man she loved to stroke her head gently.


    A sense of happiness overflowed in her heart.


    Repeated head pats was incredibly impactful for a girl.


    Even the most aloof girl was no different.


    Of course, there was a prerequisite. The man who was touching the girl’s head had to be someone she


    liked. Otherwise, he would only get himself cuffed.


    Observing the shift in Cordelia’s emotions, Emrys let out a sigh in his heart.


    Just now, he had naturally noticed the sense of loss in Cordelia’s eyes. The aloof Cordelia had always


    behaved in such a way, considering herself strong, yet she was unaware that her emotions were


    already clearly written on her face.


    Emrys saw right through it at a nce.


    That heartwarming scene didn’tst long. Suddenly, a grave voice rang out, shattering the atmosphere.


    “Rys!”


    Just then, Yelena hastily burst in.


    When Emrys had returned, Yelena was present. She even joined


    2/4


    Nte in mocking his bald head. However, it was unknown when she had left.


    Earlier, Emrys‘ attention was entirely focused on Nte, so he didn’t pay much attention to other


    things. It couldn’t possibly be that his sisters needed to seek his opinion before they stepped out, right?


    It was at that moment that he noticed something seemed off about Yelena’s expression.


    Following Yelena’s sudden entrance, Cordelia instantly transitioned from her previous obedient


    demeanor, reverting back to her aloof and authoritative persona.


    Emrys inwardlymented with regret.


    After much difficulty, the proud Cordelia finally let her guard down, transforming into a gentle little girl.


    However, Yelena’s intrusionpletely shattered that harmonious atmosphere.


    Emrys couldn’t help but re fiercely at Yelena.


    However, he noticed her expression was serious.


    He then asked, “Lena, what were you doing outside just now? Why do you have such a serious


    expression? Did someone offend you?”


    Emrys also found it strange.


    To put it in perspective, Yelena was now a cultivator herself. Although she was only in the Energy


    Cultivation Stage, an


    3/4


    average person wouldn’t dare to provoke her lightly, considering her fiery temper.


    Hence, Emrys was certain there was a problem.


    Yelena didn’t hold anything back. She said, “Rys, let me be honest with you. These past few days,


    when you weren’t home, I felt that something was off in the house.”


    “Lena, please don’t scare me. I’m frightened.” Nte was hanging onto Emrys, to begin with.


    Upon hearing Yelena’s words, ‘she immediately clung to him even tighter. Her small head rested on


    Emrys‘ shoulder as she looked around nervously.


    Yelena spoke without hesitation. “Nte, stop pretending. If you want to take advantage of Rys, just


    say it. After all, you were once barely considered a war reporter. There’s no way you’re such a coward.”
