Chapter 217: Let’s Play Cards Together!
Even so, no matter how fast Ig was, he could only avoid the slight glimpse of the girl’s flawless pure white body with his peripheral vision.
After the girl tore off the excess cloth from her body, her fingertips gently pulled between her pure white, delicate and slender hip bones, removing the last piece of pure white cloth from between her slender legs. She shook her little head, muttering to herself, “This is so troublesome… I’m finally done!”
With that said, Verafia pushed open the bathroom door with a “bang” in her palm, and then the sound of pouring water splashed onto the glass floor, leaving Ig in a disheveled state.
Ig’s heart skipped a beat for a while before he could barely recover. The rapid beating of his heart proved that the black-haired young man was far from as calm as he appeared on the surface.
Although he had been following Miss Verafia for several months, if they were to truly spend time alone in a room, it had only happened once since they were in Vist City.
Thinking back to his complaints in Vist City at that time, Ig’s mouth twitched again.
He didn’t expect his young lady to be as straightforward as always… Well, it does fit your persona of a little phoenix who just hatched a few months ago. Please take care of my heart a little, at least give me a heads-up in advance!
It wasn’t that Ig considered himself a gentleman and looked down on the beauty of this Phoenix young lady, but rather, he didn’t have the courage to do so. Who knew if that young lady noticed, she might just draw her sword and kill him in the next second!
If it were Elishia or Ophi in place of this young lady, Ig would definitely not have reacted the same way.
Complaining about this Miss Phoenix countless times in his heart, Ig took a deep breath, stood up, and walked to the bathroom door.
Verafia’s discarded skirt and clothes were scattered on the glass floor, but the small pieces of cloth, decorated with pure white lace and trim, gave off a cute feeling like that of a child’s.
However, Miss Verafia was not as ignorant as she appeared. At least, the young girl remembered to pull down the curtain behind the door. The rising steam condensed into white mist on the glass, and the girl’s youthful humming and the sound of pouring water intertwined.
Ig tidied and folded the clothes and fabrics the girl had thrown on the floor, then held them to his chest. It had to be said that the quality of the clothes bought by Miss Verafia was naturally excellent. Even if they looked like simple woven pure white fabric, the touch was quite good…
Ig shook his head, throwing away the thoughts that had somehow crept in. He approached the door, trying to give the young lady some basic guidance:
“Young lady, you can’t just throw your clothes around like this. It not only causes trouble for cleaning, but it’s also for girls…”
“What are you talking about? It’s not that troublesome! As for cleaning, this young lady’s thoughts can finish it!”
Before Ig could finish speaking, Verafia’s impatient voice came through the misty warm water, “However, since you guy are here, this young lady will punish you to wash them clean for us!”
Ig was momentarily speechless, then a wry smile appeared on his face, thinking why he had meddled in the first place, only to annoy this young lady again.
However, regarding the matter of washing clothes for girls, although Ig was the son of a Marquis, he had experienced it before.
However, that was for Shiel when she was little. He couldn’t casually use that kind of approach on this young lady. What if he annoyed her again?
Ig held the girl’s clothes, thinking in his heart, but suddenly there was a knock on the door from outside. Ig’s heart grew anxious, and his head instinctively turned.
The door was not locked, and Ophi pushed it open with a slight force.
“Ig, are you there… Eek!”
As the Ice Dragon Girl poked her little head in, she saw Ig holding a girl’s undergarment and pure white cloth strips. The girl’s big eyes seemed to tremble in surprise, and a shy blush quickly spread across her snow-white, jade-like little face.
Ig: “…”
Ig felt completely humiliated. Not only did he confirm the infamy of a “pervert bird connoisseur,” but he would also gain the vulgar titles of “underwear thief” and “perverted robber.”
But fortunately, Ophi was understanding and believed Ig’s explanation. Moreover, the Ice Dragon Girl used ice crystal magic and manipulated these magical elements to complete the washing task for Ig.
After tidying up the clothes, whose moisture was frozen by the ice crystals and then directly evaporated, Ig breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Ophi, who had just helped him out greatly:
“Thank you very much, Miss Ophi. By the way, Little Fei, why did you suddenly come over?”
“That, I just wanted to find Ig, that…”
The Ice Dragon Girl’s voice stammered, seeming very embarrassed. Suddenly, the girl gritted her silver teeth, mustered her courage, and held up an oval-shaped, somewhat ancient magic device inscribed with many precise runes and grooves:
“Ig, let’s have a duel!”
The Ice Dragon Girl shouted loudly, then raised her big eyes, looking at the young man in front of her with anticipation.
—
“A duel?”
Ig looked at the Duel Disk Ophi was holding high in the air and said with some surprise. He hadn’t expected the girl to drop by for this.
However, when Ig thought about it carefully, it wasn’t strange for Ophi, who had just bought her favorite cards and found him to be a fellow enthusiast, to have such thoughts.
Speaking of which, this Dragon Clan girl insisted on sharing a room with him earlier and even argued with Miss Verafia about it. Could it be that she also wanted to find him to play cards?
Ig thought to himself. However, Ig still smiled apologetically at Ophi, who was tilting her head up, her big eyes shining with expectant light:
“I’m sorry, Miss Ophi. I haven’t played in a very long time, and I didn’t bring the cards I collected with me back then.”
“That’s no problem!”
Ophi quickly said, and with a wave of her hand, a pile of strange metal cards clinked onto the table, forming a small hill.
“These are all I’ve gathered. It’s enough for you, Ig, to build several decks!”
Seeing the pile of metal cards as high as a small mountain that Ophi had produced, Ig was deeply shocked. He thought, as expected of the little princess of the Dragon Clan, to gather so many Wargame Cards just by robbing. At least, they could form more than ten decks.
The Ice Dragon Girl tugged at Ig’s sleeve with her little hand, begging pitifully, “Big Sister hasn’t played with me for a long time. Ig, please play a game with me…”
Being asked like this by Ophi, Ig naturally couldn’t refuse. Besides, he also wanted to try the game he hadn’t played in a long time, so he nodded in agreement.
Ophi’s face lit up with joy, and she quickly laid out the duel items one by one on the table.
“Little Fei, this is…?” Ig picked up a four-sided dark iron box that looked like it was used for drawing lots, engraved with patterns, and asked.
Ophi raised her little face: “Oh, this is what the shop owner gave me when I bought the ‘Frost-Eyed Light Dragon’ this afternoon. He said it was used to decide the winner and then… to punish the loser…”
Ig understood. In the Wargame Card games played by nobles, apart from the pawned cards and gold coins, the rewards for victory could also be in this form, where the loser draws lots and is required to fulfill the conditions on the tag.
However, because it was just a game, the conditions faced by the loser were generally not too harsh.
