Chapter 628 Introductions, and Lily's awakening
Five minutes later…
Under everyone's waiting gazes, Max stood up, gestured toward Sera and announced as he looked at Emily, Claire and others, "Emily, Claire, everyone, she is Seraphina Fuller, Sera in short. She is now my woman."
Sera shyly stood up beside him and bowed her head toward everyone, "Hello, everyone. It is very nice to meet you."
Ray's mouth hung open when heard him while he inwardly thought, 'Team leader is too damn amazing! He managed to get himself a woman in just a few hours.'
Unlike him, Shasha beside him reacted normally and nodded back at Sera.
Ruo looked at Sera with a twinkle in her eyes and bowed her head in greeting, "Hello big sister. You are very pretty."
Her grandfather sighed at this and just nodded at Sera.
As for Emily, her black pupils turned chilly for a moment before she nodded indifferently. "Welcome to the family."
As for the last person, Claire, she smiled at Sera, "Hello. It's very nice to meet you too. Hope we get along."
Emily's ears twitched when she heard this and she looked at Max with a questioning look. Apart from her, only Shasha seemed to understand the real meaning behind her words.
'Too frivolous.' She inwardly shook her head.
Max had already noticed Emily wasn't happy when he introduced Sera, so he felt his head hurt, thinking how she was going to react when he introduced Claire.
Still, he bit the bullet and with a smile on his face, he announced, "You might already know Claire but let me re-introduce her. She is Claire, someone I recently met and after meeting a few times, we have decided to become a couple."
Claire stood up on his other side and slightly dipped her head in greeting, "Hello everyone."
This time, no one was as much shocked because they had already guessed it.
…
After the introductions were done, and the trio sat down, Emily asked, her voice indifferent, borderline chilly, "So, you gathered us so you could introduce them? Or is there something else?"
"No. I just wanted them to introduce it to you." Max said,
"Alright then." Emily nodded and stood up, "I'm going back to cultivate. Little Ruo and grandpa, can you two stay and close the door after everyone leaves? You can use any bedroom you want except that one." She said while pointing at the room on the right.
"We can, miss Emily. It's the same for us whether we live here or in the other guest house." The old man nodded.
Swoosh!
As soon as she heard him, she gave him a brief nod before leaving the living room.
After she left, Ray and Shasha also left.
"You want to go talk to her?" Sera asked,
"It's alright. She is just probably angry that I'm going around getting more and more women instead of focusing on my cultivation." Max said with a chuckle.
After what happened that day when she brought him Ella, he knew Emily had already guessed why he was progressing so fast. From that day, he had already noticed Emily was behaving a little differently.
'It's alright. She just needs some time to accept it.'
He thought and then walked toward the room on the right where Lily was sleeping. "Wait here. I'll bring out someone to meet you."
Since he didn't think much about it, they also ignored it. To them, it didn't matter if anyone accepted them or not as long as he did.
…
Entering the room, he walked over to Lily.
Loosening her robe slightly, he uncovered her abdomen and placed his hands on it.
"Wake up, my love. Wake up." He muttered as the remaining Nascent Energy in his body entered her body, cleaned and strengthened her blood, bones, organs and mana pathways before entering her mind.
He was very nervous because unlike the rest of the body, mind wasn't something that could be casually tempered with.
If he wasn't sure it wouldn't harm her, he wouldn't have dared to do it.
As he watched in nervous anticipation, the Nascent energy assimilated into her mind and then… nothing.
"This…" He felt his heart stop. "Do I need more Nascent Energy or… it is simply unable to help her."
"...uh."
Just when he was panicking, he heard a soft, almost inaudible grunt.
Swoosh!
His head snapped toward her.
Ba-Dum!
Ba-Dum!
His heart which had almost slowed to a crawl started beating like drums as he watched her eyelashes gently tremble.
One second passed…
Two seconds passed…
Five seconds passed…
Half a minute passed as he stared unblinkingly at her face… but she didn't open her eyes.
This time, however, he didn't panic because whatever was stopping her from regaining consciousness was no longer a problem. Even if she didn't wake up now, she would wake up a while later.
"Just wait a little while. I'll bring some more Nascent Energy." He said, gently caressing her face. However, just as he was about to leave the room…
"...Young master."
Swoosh!
"I'm here. I'm right here." He grabbed her hand, softly calling out.
Slowly, she opened her eyes. For a moment, she was disoriented before she recovered her senses and saw Max sitting beside her, looking at her with wet eyes.
"...Young master." She called out in a daze.
"Yes, I'm here." Max said, relief washing over him.
Suddenly, Lily remembered what had happened before she lost consciousness and hurriedly asked, "Young master. Oliver, what did he do? Where is he?"
"Shh! Calm down. We are safe." Max said, caressing her forehead.
When she relaxed, he briefly explained what happened.
"You… beat him, young master and forced him to escape?" Lily found it hard to believe. Even though she hated him, she had to admit he was very strong. Even in the central plains, very few in the same realm as him could confidently say they could defeat him.
But... Max, who wasn't even a Four Star Mage a while ago, defeated him? Max could only smile bitterly seeing her disbelieving face.
After overcoming her shock, she became worried.
