I Was The Hero, But I Woke Up as a Phoenix Princess! – Chapter 715

Wait, what is this guy talking about?
The young girl raised her eyes in surprise.
This was indeed what she wanted to hear. Or rather, what she deliberately asked Ignett Ophioliss, that is, she wanted Ignett to say this himself.
However, like many girls who desire something they long for but dare not face, Verafia felt a wave of shame when she actually heard Ignett say it.
Her snow-white little face felt slightly hot.
This idiot, why is he suddenly so direct… This young lady, I’m not ready yet!
Feeling a little flustered, her slender heart pounded, and she almost bit the tip of her tender tongue.
“Hmph, you guy…”
Her gaze dropped slightly. The young man was stroking her hair, his face still holding a faint smile, but it didn’t feel exaggerated or pretentious, nor was there any falseness. It was just an ordinary narration.
However, such ordinariness far surpassed countless grand oaths.
“Idiot, it should be me teasing you. Why did you deliberately make Miss blush…”
She grumbled. A delicate rosy blush spread across her exquisite earlobes.
Come to think of it, Verafia knew that Ignett had said such things in her heart many times. She also had no doubt about the young man’s determination.
However, saying it in front of her without any pretense was, in fact, the first time.
How could this usually so proud and yet so insecure idiot suddenly be able to say it in front of this young lady?
However, stripping away the shy emotions, she felt a sense of peace and joy. It was as if it was meant to be told to her by him personally.
Her slender fingers grasped Ignett’s free hand, and she gently rested her butterfly-like head on his shoulder. A faint rosy glow spread across her pure white face.
“You darn guy… you said it so late. But after making a vow, you can’t go back on it…”
“Miss, what are you talking about?”
Ignett pretended not to hear, leaned closer to her, and asked.
Her slender hand pushed against his chest. But it didn’t separate. Her fine, soft golden hair slid through the boy’s fingers. In the cold night, it brushed against her like soft, beautiful silk.
This bad guy, he’s getting bolder, always bullying Miss!
With a fierce glare, Verafia forcibly raised her face. Her half-shy, half-annoyed golden eyes met Ignett’s accompanying smile on his face, which made another flush spread to her earlobes. She huffed and exclaimed:
“Hmph! Miss says, you idiot… you’re not needed at all! There’s no one who can hurt this young lady!”
“Mhm, mhm. Miss is right.”
Ignett smiled and patted the girl’s little head.
Although she knew he was teasing her again, Verafia proudly tilted her face upon hearing such words, a triumphant expression on her delicate, fair face.
Putting on a tsundere act… at least, she didn’t have to be so ashamed anymore, right?
The boy’s hand suddenly gently covered her smooth, tender hand, enveloping it. Verafia was startled for a moment, but she didn’t break free.
“However, just now… Miss mentioned ‘vow.’ But, this should still be just a wish…”
Ignett knew the girl was shy, so he softly thought this sentence in his heart. Otherwise, this young lady would probably bare her fangs and claws in embarrassment like a cat.
However, Vera, baring her fangs and claws… would surely be very cute, right?
A slight smile unconsciously appeared on his face. However, Ignett suppressed this suicidal impulse.
In his hand, her soft, jade-like little hand rested quietly and beautifully, yet it seemed to be slightly tense. Through her smooth touch, he could feel the flow of her blood and the rapid, delicate beat of her heart against his chest.
He couldn’t help but gently tighten his grip again. With his peripheral vision, he saw the girl slightly lower her little face, a hint of porcelain-like skin revealed, colored by the sunset glow. Her slender eyelashes fluttered and blinked in her shy, swirling golden eyes.
Why is this Miss getting shy again… Are girls all easily embarrassed?
Well, he was different. As long as he wasn’t embarrassed, it was others who would be embarrassed.
However, as a competent attendant, he naturally needed to help the embarrassed and shy young lady out of her predicament.
He looked up and saw Cassleite, who had already averted her gaze. He thought for a moment.
“Right, Vera. Just now, you and Miss Cassleite were talking about the power within Xiao Fei’s body. Is that the water elemental elf you mentioned before?”
Unlike Ophioliss, Ignett had heard this young lady mention it many times by Verafia’s side.
Although she had never explicitly named it, it wasn’t hard to guess.
“Hmph, hmph, of course.”
Verafia lightly raised her delicate head, a brilliant flash of light shimmering in her beautiful golden eyes. She also knew that the young man was suddenly changing the subject to help her out, so she playfully chided him in a soft voice.
This guy actually knows how to help Miss, not bad… Wait, that’s not right. Isn’t this guy entirely responsible for this young lady’s embarrassment and shame!
Quickly shaking her head, Verafia took a shallow breath of the cool air. She decided to be a magnanimous young lady and forgive her attendant’s transgression.
So she cast her gaze upon Cassleite’s retreating figure.
Come to think of it, Cassleite could also sense the power of the ice elf within Xiao Fei’s body. This was slightly beyond Verafia’s expectation.
“Well, she herself is a deity of ice, although only half. Perhaps that ancient elf has a connection with Cassleite.”
Verafia blinked her golden eyes.
In fact, Cassleite’s voice didn’t convey much concern, so much so that Ignett didn’t seem worried at all.
However, the life of an ancient elf, even for a “god,” would not be easily borne.
Otherwise, why would Cassleite say she was powerless?
As for Xiao Fei…
The girl’s slender eyelashes trembled slightly. Then, she reopened her golden eyes.
However, this wasn’t something that needed much attention. Even Xiao Fei’s sister, the Red Dragon Princess, still had a long way to go, and this little ice dragon was even further behind.
At least, it would be possible to wait until this young lady fully becomes the Flame Goddess…
She thought to herself. Raising her delicate face again, a cheerful expression flashed across it. She nudged Ignett and playfully stuck out her delicate tongue:
“Hey, but now is not the time to care about these things. Ignett, look, Xiao Fei… is she angry because we’re hiding it from her?”

It feels like there are very few comments…
However, the emotional content of this volume should not be much more, perhaps only one last section is left? (To be honest, it’s been dragging on for too long… The foreshadowing from before seems to have been completely useless.)
