I Was The Hero, But I Woke Up as a Phoenix Princess! – Chapter 281

Chapter 281 Chapter 75 Problem
“Young Lady, can you stop him? Although the residents of this village were not killed by Hodrea, he must know more information. Also, Miss Dofiraia’s teacher, this person must know where he is!”
Blocked behind Verafia, Yi Ge’s body still struggled to stand steady due to the powerful black turbulence and flame curtain colliding and the rippling waves. However, the young man still tried his best to stand firm and spoke anxiously.
The girl’s pure white little hand grabbed hard in mid-air. The surging flames, blocking the black airflow, suddenly brightened. The heat contained within was fully released, splitting the sky into two completely different firmaments. The intense demonic power clashed and wore down each other.
“Young Lady…”
Yi Ge wanted to say something more. Suddenly, a pair of eyes filled with annoyance turned to look at him, and then her pure white jade finger tapped hard on the boy’s head.
“Hey, you don’t need to say it. I also want to catch him and beat him up! But, although this young lady is stronger than him, I used up a lot of strength just to defeat him. If he wants to run, how can I stop him!”
She stomped her little boots hard on Yi Ge several times. Verafia still felt indignant. Her pure white delicate face was full of anger. The girl’s scorching golden eyes glanced away. Behind the curtain of intertwined flames and dark night, the black swordsman’s figure had already disappeared.
“He left just now? But, he didn’t escape by tearing space, nor did he rely on speed to escape in the real world. This swordsman called Hodrea is truly strange…” thought Verafia, her slender eyelashes slightly lowered. In the place where he had stood before, there were no traces of spatial fluctuations, but Hodrea was indeed no longer there. At least, not a trace of Verafia’s perception could detect him.
Furthermore, last month, although Hodrea was holding her bracelet, Verafia still lost track of him… This made the girl feel curious.
However, Verafia had not yet confirmed the few guesses in her heart.
Suddenly, the girl’s delicate face turned again to look at the timid Yi Ge in front of her. Her delicate eyebrows were raised, as if she remembered something, and her delicate face showed more anger:
“Wait, you guy, were you ordering this young lady just now? Hey, you damn attendant, you dare to order this young lady now. I don’t even want to think about what you’ll want to do in the future!”
Chrisis, who walked closer, looked at Yi Ge who was repeatedly apologizing and chuckled. Just now, she felt that Yi Ge’s personality had become much tougher compared to before, but now, he was even more timid than before, with no status at all.
Could it be because of this girl?
The nun looked at the girl beside Yi Ge, with her gorgeous golden eyes, soft and beautiful golden hair under the white ribbon, and her doll-like exquisite little face pouting in annoyance.
Chrisis’s face also showed a gentle smile, but her sapphire blue pupils held a strange glint.
…
Yi Ge apologized for a long time before Verafia finally calmed down.
The girl crossed her hands on her chest, still looking quite displeased. With a hum, the flames surging with her will melted the surrounding rubble and formed a stone chair. She then sat down, pulling the hem of her exquisitely bordered silk skirt.
Chrisis and the Church Knights who accompanied her rushed here so late because of this village that had been massacred. Although it seemed that the culprit had already left, and even Hodrea, who seemed to know the inside story, had also left, there were no clues. Therefore, the knights had to go and search the ruins of the village.
Although Dofiraia was very anxious, she also had no clues. Therefore, she voluntarily followed the Church Knights, wanting to see if her teacher had left any traces.
“…Just as you said, originally, I was dispatched by the Bishop Lord to Flin City for prayer yesterday. However, this afternoon, I heard that something unusual happened in this border village, so I brought Andre and the others to investigate first. I just didn’t expect to meet the young master here.”
Elisius tucked a strand of hair hanging down and raised her face to look at Yi Ge standing beside Verafia, speaking softly.
Flin City, which Elisius mentioned, was explained by Yi Ge to Verafia earlier. It was a small town on the western border of the Mess Marquisate, and also the closest town.
According to the nun, her appearance here, and happening to meet Yi Ge, was a complete coincidence.
Verafia rested her chin on her hands, her slender legs, showing a small section of fair skin beneath her skirt, swayed. Her large eyes gazed at the nun’s face.
“Miss Verafia, do you have any questions?” The silver-robed nun noticed the girl’s gaze and immediately showed a gentle smile.
“Ah, I just think it’s such a coincidence. This guy Yi Ge just returned here and met you.”
Verafia’s fingers fidgeted with a strand of falling hair, as if she was saying it very casually. The girl then raised her face again. In her beautiful eyes, which were like flowing golden flames, a bit of interest seemed to arise.
“Um, you’re called Chrisis, right? You seem to be very familiar with this guy Yi Ge. Do you have any stories?”
Hearing Verafia’s voice, Yi Ge was startled. Before Elisius could even speak, he quickly answered first.
“Young Lady, Chrisis and I have known each other since childhood, and she also took care of me in many ways!”
However, Verafia jumped to the ground and raised a slender white hand, hitting him on the head with a “bang.”
Verafia was very dissatisfied with Yi Ge’s interruption and glared at him with displeasure, her golden eyes looking at Yi Ge who was holding his head in pain.
“I didn’t ask you, you guy! Why are you in such a hurry? Are you feeling guilty and trying to cover something up?”
Elisius looked at Yi Ge, who was repeatedly thwarted in front of the girl, and a faint smile appeared on her face. She suddenly chuckled and said:
“Miss Vera, it’s actually just as the young master said. However, compared to me, Yi Ge takes care of me more. If it weren’t for the young master, the Marquis would not have taken me in back then, let alone for me, the young master was beaten up by several people for quite a while.”
“Eh, is that so?”
The one who made the sound was the Ice Dragon Girl. After removing her demonic power ice-frost armor, Ophi returned to her delicate and beautiful maiden form. Her clear and beautiful face looked at Yi Ge, who was trying his best to remain calm but still showed tension. She fiddled with her hair with her slender hand and turned her face back in confusion, asking:
“According to you, you grew up with Yi Ge?”
