I Was The Hero, But I Woke Up as a Phoenix Princess! – Chapter 150

Chapter 150 Chapter 68 Crimson Night (II)
The exploding fierce flames instantly ignited the flying wood chips in mid-air, scorching everything within meters of solid wood and fur carpets in an instant. The entire ground shook like an earthquake, directly destroying the entire corridor. The huge impact sent the black-clothed swordsman and the surrounding warriors who had drawn their swords flying backward and falling to the ground!
The uncontainable heatwave directly blasted through the hotel walls, and the starry sky spilled out, with the distant cries of passersby faintly audible.
“Boom!”
Scorching flames burned on the floor that was torn open by the heat. The black-clad swordsman’s black clothes were ignited by the fire, and he fell to his knees on the ground with a thud. His resilient face was almost twisted by the pain.
Tap, tap, tap.
Small leather boots on delicate feet landed on the floor that had been ravaged by flames, making a few crisp sounds that broke the silence. The girl’s slightly longer skirt was brushed by the rolling fiery wind. In the hot air, a slender and exquisite figure emerged.
The black-clothed swordsman, using his Dou Qi, gritted his teeth and raised his face, looking at the extremely beautiful girl walking towards him with light steps.
“Hmm… You, your Dou Qi is quite profound. You can actually take one of this young lady’s swords.”
Verafia moved her fingers to tuck a strand of her hair behind her ear, revealing her pure white face. As she spoke, she raised her big eyes and looked with great pride at the Platinum Swordsman whom she had repelled with a single sword strike.
“However, if you want to come and cause trouble for this young lady, it will only take a couple more swords!”
Verafia swung her sword a few times, and it only took an instant. Lorrs’s smile hadn’t even fully faded when he saw that the strongest force by his side had been forced back and then knocked down with one sword!
“You!” The black-clothed swordsman forcefully propped himself up with his wrist, but he couldn’t stand. Verafia also let out a light hum, and carelessly swept her gaze towards Lorrs, who was protected behind the other warriors, his eyes filled with ferocity.
“And you…”
The girl’s melodious voice, like the plucking of a jade string, appeared for a moment in the scorching air.
Looking at Lorrs, who had one hand on his sword, his face showing fear, but more so, an abnormal greed, Verafia’s scorching golden pupils revealed a hint of slight surprise.
Igert also just emerged from behind the girl and saw the Platinum Swordsman being repelled by Verafia, his black clothes burned off by the flames, revealing his armor:
It was precisely because of this finely crafted and sturdy metal that he was not severely injured by the girl’s previous attack.
“Young Lady, their armor is indeed military armor. It seems these people might be Lord Douglas’s personal guards.”
Igert turned his eyes to the girl beside him and said.
Verafia’s gaze also shifted away from Lorrs. She clearly felt a strange aura from this noble dandy, but she didn’t need to pay too much attention to him.
Seeing the girl’s light and slightly smiling exquisite jade face enter his vision, Igert said.
“Oh, really! So this General is truly indiscreet, actually letting his soldiers follow such an unseemly fellow around. Fortunately, he ran into this young lady.”
The Platinum Swordsman’s strong Dou Qi finally extinguished the flames burning him, and he struggled to stand up with a very ugly expression. The girl opposite him not only did not attack him while he was down but also revealed his identity to him, which was an even greater insult to him!
But her strength… the black-clothed swordsman was at a loss for words for a moment.
As the general’s personal guard, his primary duty was undoubtedly to ensure Lorrs’s safety behind him.
“You, since you know who this young master is, you still dare to lay hands on my people!”
Lorrs’s voice instantly filled the space. Verafia turned her face to look at him, and a delicate curve slightly hooked her youthful lips.
In that instant, she noticed that the expression of fear on Lorrs’s face had subsided a lot, replaced by a color of jealousy and greed.
Was this Lorrs being set up? And this kind of skill that directly manipulated emotions… it wasn’t simple. Who was that person?
Just as Verafia continued to watch with interest, Lorrs shook off the guards trying to stop him and stared at the girl’s beautiful, tender face with increasingly scarlet eyes, filled with greed almost overflowing due to jealousy, revealing a sinister smile:
“If you are wise and obediently follow this young master’s orders, hand over Oran’s Blood Crystal! Perhaps I can consider how to let you go?”
“Oran’s Blood Crystal… so that’s how it is.”
Verafia chuckled lightly, her little face showing a look of sudden realization.
“Young Lady, does this mean…” Igert’s expression also changed, and he whispered into the girl’s ear in a low voice.
“Of course, this guy Lorrs was deliberately sent by someone to deliver treasure to this young lady!”
Her light and pleasant voice, like bells, echoed in Igert’s ears. He lowered his gaze and saw the girl’s porcelain-like, snow-white face reflecting her light smile. Under her magnificent golden hair, a pair of slightly widened clear golden eyes revealed the girl’s nonchalant state of mind.
“Let me think… Hmm, that woman named Verodia is very suspicious. Perhaps she instigated this fellow to come.”
Listening to the girl’s voice, Igert also immediately thought of Verodia.
The Blood Crystal in Verafia’s hand was also given by her… Igert also remembered that Verodia said the remaining part would be used as their reward… but now it appeared in Lorrs’s hands.
Moreover, her own claimed innate skill was a type of mental skill, combined with Lorrs’s current state…
Igert couldn’t help but tighten his grip on the End.
What was Verodia trying to achieve with all this…?
Verafia paid no attention to the series of thoughts in the young man beside her.
She took a small step forward with her little boots, reached out to tuck a strand of golden hair by her white earlobe, and raised her pupils, her expression a half-smile. “So, the other half of that Blood Crystal is also in your hand?”
Under the girl’s gaze, Lorrs took a step back, his face turning ugly. His mind, which had regained some clarity after a moment, seemed to have realized something.
“What do you want… Let me tell you, my father is Xingyao, who is only one step away from the Saint Rank. If you anger this young master, your whole family, no matter how many heads you have, won’t be enough to be killed!”
The noble youth’s arrogance had not yet faded, but his threat, now sounding more bluster than genuine, echoed in the air. The Platinum Swordsman shouted a hasty warning. As expected, the girl’s slightly cold and disdainful gaze swept over him.
“A mere Xingyao dares to show off in front of this young lady?”
Verafia drew her silver sword, and its cold light, tinged with starlight, was faintly imbued with crimson fierce flames. She looked up at Lorrs, who was protected by the crowd, her beautiful golden eyes burning with fiery light.
“Moreover, I gave you a chance before. Otherwise, do you think it was just your sword that was burned then? It’s just that who would have thought you were foolish enough to dare to get involved with this young lady…”
