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 become someone she could rely on.
However, soon after dealing with those villains, 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.

Emrys was rarely serious, but when he earnestly spoke these words, they touched the
softest part of Cordelia’s heart directly.
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 glance.
That heartwarming scene didn’t last 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

Ninette in mocking his bald head. However, it was unknown when she had left.
Earlier, Emrys‘ attention was entirely focused on Ninette, 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 inwardly lamented with regret.
After much difficulty, the proud Cordelia finally let her guard down, transforming into a
gentle little girl. However, Yelena’s intrusion completely shattered that harmonious
atmosphere.
Emrys couldn’t help but glare 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?”

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

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.” Ninette 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. “Ninette, 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.”
