I Was The Hero, But I Woke Up as a Phoenix Princess! – Chapter 714

chapter 172 Request (Part 2)
“Idiot Little Fei!”
Before Ig, Verafia, puffing her cheeks, showing her displeasure, tapped him on the forehead.
Ophi made a “hmm” sound, cradling her forehead with both hands, her big eyes filled with fine water mist, gazing at the girl who suddenly became violent towards her.
“Veer, why did you hit me…”
The Ice Dragon Girl’s eyes welled up with tears, showing a pitiful expression, and she said with great grievance.
Rubbing the girl’s beautiful, cool, and smooth hair, Ig explained to her what Anderdun had said before.
“So you’re saying that Ig and Veer are worried that I’ll be assimilated by senior Frost Dragon, um, by her will, and then I won’t be me anymore?”
Having been beside Verafia the whole time, the girl easily understood the specific problem. She scratched her hair in confusion: “But, senior Frost Dragon, um, I have her memories, she’s Father’s sister, and also, a very good dragon. How could she do this?”
Lightly lifting her jade arm, she twirled around in front of Verafia again. Her beautiful, slender, frost-blue tail also flicked lightly, wagging a bit, before she raised her face:
“Moreover, Veer, look, I’m still fine, aren’t I? What problem could there be?”
“Little Fei, you’re just a stupid dragon!”
Looking at her cheerful and indifferent expression, Verafia’s cheeks puffed up with anger, and she tiptoed to tap her dragon horn again, with an expression of anger at her lack of progress.
This girl, even if she was naturally airheaded, was indeed very cute when she was naive, but at times like this, how could she speak so casually and act cute.
However, even so, Verafia found it difficult to truly get angry. Moreover, she knew that she herself didn’t have many solutions. Unless Ig could call out that bad guy Anderdun again.
But, Little Fei’s horns really felt good. She really wanted to touch them again.
Verafia suddenly had another thought.
“This Dragon Clan member is not the same as you… but, her bloodline does carry some faint, concealed will.”
Suddenly, a soft girl’s voice came from the side. Verafia turned her head and looked over. The frost-haired girl who had been quietly watching them spoke softly.
Kassleith thought for a moment, then continued:
“The owner of that wisp of will was once a very powerful dragon… However, she has long been dead, entangled by the power of death, and no longer belongs to herself.”
“She has merged into your friend’s bloodline, and will subtly change her. However, the possibility of this is not very high.”
Although not very high, it was not impossible…
Verafia’s eyes suddenly lit up: “Then, Miss Kassleith. Can you help Little Fei?”
This time, the frost-haired girl hesitated for a long time, but looking at her face, she nodded: “This Dragon Clan member is your friend, isn’t she? Moreover, if this is your request…”
She extended a slender hand towards the Ice Dragon Girl. Exquisite, perfect like an artwork carved from jade, it looked like pure ice jade in their eyes.
Ophi was still a little hesitant, but she knew that Verafia would never harm her, so she placed her hand in Kassleith’s.
There were no significant phenomena or surges of demonic power. The frost-haired girl simply held Ophi’s wrist lightly, and in her other hand, the heart of frost flashed a ray of light.
“Huh?”
Ophi opened her eyes in surprise. She felt that the power newly infused into her bloodline had become much more refined and clear, easier to absorb than before, as if it could become her own power with just a light touch.
Moreover, the law fragments that had been corroding her previously, which she had suppressed by relying on her body’s strength, were completely smoothed and healed by a slightly cool touch.
Kassleith opened her eyes slightly.
Although she couldn’t understand, it was obvious that the frost-haired girl wasn’t finding it easy. Ophi quickly thanked her: “Veer said your name is Kassleith… Thank you just now.”
“It’s nothing. Moreover, this is only her… Her Highness’s request.”
Hearing the girl’s voice, Kassleith’s icy eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she shook her head. However, when mentioning Verafia, she thought for a moment before finding a suitable honorific.
“You don’t need to call me ‘Your Highness,’ just call me Verafia.”
Speaking of which, this witch lady has always insisted on using honorifics for her. Is it just because of her status?
However, whether it was Herafir, or herself before, she had no connection with her, nor with the frost and snow on this continent.
Verafia’s gaze fell on Kassleith’s cool and clear face again. The girl in front of her was not complete, she didn’t even possess power. Just now, she had relied on the power within the heart of frost calamity.
Manipulating the laws was not easy for her, and she even needed to borrow the power from the heart of frost, causing her to show a trace of fatigue after slightly opening her eyes.
“Now. I owe someone a favor…”
“It’s just a small thing, I cannot accept your gratitude.”
As if sensing the girl’s thoughts, Kassleith said very seriously. She turned her face slightly.
“Actually, my judgment of your friend was slightly mistaken. Her body contains another very pure, precious, and ancient power… Even if that will wasn’t frozen, it wouldn’t have had too much effect on her.”
“Eh, Miss Kassleith, what you’re saying is…”
Ophi’s frost-blue eyes widened, with an expression of incomprehension. She had no idea that there was a power in her body that she didn’t know at all.
“In any case, at least, if I can help Little Fei absorb that inheritance quickly, it’s not entirely without effect.”
Verafia tiptoed, gently patting her shoulder with her slender hand, her snowy cheeks looking cute.
Well, this little ice dragon obtained the inheritance of the Frost Dragon from the Abyss of Death last year, which allowed her to advance to nearly Star Rank in just half a year.
Fully absorbing that inheritance, it would be easy for Ophi to advance to Star Rank, and she might even touch Saint Rank.
She suddenly thought of something, her gold eyes lightly lifted, her lips curled up, and she looked proudly at the young man beside her. As if to say, “Look at you, look at Little Fei, she’s so effortless, and she’ll leave you far behind again.”
Ig chuckled wryly and reached out to rub the girl’s head:
“Little Fei is originally much stronger than me, and she’s a little princess of the Dragon Clan. Now that I can be close to her, I’m already very satisfied.”
Verafia glared at him discontentedly.
Hey, hey, you guy, aren’t you this young lady’s God’s Chosen? Why do you have such low aspirations?
And even if few people know it, this young lady is Lothel, so you don’t need to bear the responsibility of being this idiot’s successor. But as the Young Lady’s attendant, how can you not be able to defeat this little ice dragon? That would be very embarrassing for the Young Lady!
This idiot, shouldn’t he be grit his teeth, and with a resentful expression, hold onto this young lady’s leg and say he wants to become stronger and ask the Young Lady for help?
Ig’s hand continued to gently stroke the girl’s smooth golden hair. He spoke:
“However, I don’t need to catch up to Little Fei… What I want is simply to be able to stand by the Young Lady’s side, to be able to keep the Young Lady from being harmed. Please believe me, I will surely possess such strength.”

Actually, I discovered that I shouldn’t have written about Little Fei. It slowed down the pace again…
