I Was The Hero, But I Woke Up as a Phoenix Princess! – Chapter 348

Chapter 348 Chapter 142
Igter couldn’t help but complain in his heart about the girl’s cute voice.
Igter coughed twice, simply ignoring the excited little princess of the Ice Dragon beside him. He raised his head and replied, “Young Lady, you speak the truth. However, I can’t possibly be a girl, hahaha, so I can only imagine.”
Well, when it came to this Young Lady, he wouldn’t be foolish enough to argue with her. No matter what, agreeing first was enough.
“Is that so?”
Verafia suddenly jumped off the chair and spun her scorching gold eyes towards Igter. A hint of interest seemed to appear on her exquisite face, as delicate as snowy cheeks. Suddenly, she curved her lips into a faint smile, raised her head, and said crisply, “However, if you, this guy, really want to experience what it’s like to be a girl, hmm, it’s not impossible for this Young Lady to help you!”
Although it was a clear and pleasant girlish voice, when it fell into Igter’s ears, it inexplicably sent a chill down his spine. Igter looked at the girl’s beautiful eyes, curved into crescents, and her interested expression, and his heart trembled.
Turning me into a female, this little phoenix, she’s not really thinking of that, is she!
If I were to become a young girl, then Shiel would call me sister, Little Fei and Elishia would at most become best friends, and with the personality of this little phoenix, who knows what twisted ideas she might have to torment me. Hmm, she wouldn’t directly ask me to change professions and become her maid, would she?
Speaking of which, thinking about it this way, if this little phoenix made me look better, it might not be unacceptable. At least, I could get closer to her more easily?
Igter couldn’t help but think of this. But as soon as this dangerous thought appeared, he quickly killed it.
What a joke! In a world where physiological habits and reality are almost completely reversed, how could he accept such a humiliating thing!
Although, as a young man full of vigor, Igter did appreciate the beauty of the girls around him, but that didn’t mean he wanted to become a beautiful girl for others to admire! Well, even if this little phoenix tried to tempt him with her beauty, it was absolutely impossible!
“Tch, this Young Lady kindly offered to help you, and you, this guy, still don’t appreciate it…”
Seeing the young man desperately shaking his head as if facing a great enemy, Verafia pouted her lips and let out a sigh of regret. However, her interest seemed to have only lasted for a moment and was then thrown to the back of her mind. She gently raised her head and said,
“Forget it, since you don’t want to, this Young Lady won’t force you. So, let’s talk about what you said before.”
Igter breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that this Young Lady would suddenly indulge in a whim and turn him into a maid. Seeing that she had given in, he smiled and said, “Young Lady, please speak.”
“You said before that Igter’s spirit was drawn into a desolate world, not only with dark dragons but also with the abyss under the black moon… Hmm, although this Young Lady doesn’t know what happened to the elves back then, based on your description, it can indeed be linked to ‘Spirit Breaking Blood’.”
Verafia lightly rested her chin on her hand, her scorching gold eyes looking up at Igter. “Coupled with the fact that you could create a Frost Dragon girl from the blood of that little Ice Dragon, hmm, this Young Lady thinks it’s likely that when your ‘True Eye’ awakened, it transformed what it touched into ‘truth’, and then touched the will of that Demonic Dragon floating in the world.”
Igter nodded. Verafia’s words were not much different from what he had thought. However, the last term she mentioned…
“True Eye?”
“It’s the upgraded version of your ‘Steadfastness’ talent. You should understand its specific effect, which is to be able to see through the truth beneath anything. Hmm, it’s much more powerful than what you have now!”
Verafia explained casually. However, seeing the young man’s slightly frowning expression, she couldn’t help but blink her gold eyes slightly. “Your own skill has been upgraded, didn’t you feel it, this guy?”
“No. I felt something… but I didn’t expect it to be as you said, Young Lady.”
Igter hesitated for a moment and said, “Moreover, there are some obscure aspects that I can’t understand.”
“Is that so?”
Verafia tilted her head and thought for a moment. “However, I think you’ll be fine if you explore it yourself for a while. Hmm, the specific method should be no different from what I taught you before.”
“Mm. Thank you, Young Lady.”
Igter said this. However, the emotions in his heart were not as calm as his expression.
If, as Verafia said, the power of the ‘True Eye’ was to see through the truth beneath anything, then what about the fate I saw?
—Before the first meeting with the Flame Abyss, the girl in front of him pushed him down with her own hands.
“By the way, Igter, this Young Lady has one more thing to ask you.”
The girl’s voice made Igter raise his face. The face of the girl he saw was just as he had seen before, porcelain white and perfect like a divine creation. Between her pair of pupils embedded with golden moons, the brilliant shining gold was like gorgeously colored fireworks.
Verafia spoke. The young man opposite her also reacted, looking up at her.
However, for some reason, Verafia felt that Igter’s gaze was somewhat similar to when he had just woken up.
The girl inexplicably felt restless, and she pursed her lips slightly, saying, “Before you woke up, I felt another kind of spiritual fluctuation from you. After you escaped from Midirna’s will cage, did you experience anything else?”
“Young Lady, why are you suddenly asking about this matter?”
Igter’s reply came after a few seconds of silence. He put on a smile on his face, but in Verafia’s eyes, it was quite forced.
“Of course, I’m worried about you, this guy.” Verafia lightly furrowed her delicate eyebrows and said so.
Verafia could not confirm what state caused the spiritual fluctuation she felt when she re-grasped his wrist, so she wanted to ask Igter for confirmation.
But Igter did not answer, lowering his head instead. Only when she was slightly impatient and frowned her beautiful eyebrows did Igter finally raise his head and shake it slightly.
“…Nothing happened.”
“Hey, do you take me for an idiot! Such an obvious spiritual fluctuation, and you tell me nothing happened?”
For some reason, when she saw the expression he suddenly revealed, an unnameable fire rose in Verafia’s heart.
However, she still tried her best to control her emotions and persuaded him again, “Hoo, Igter, do you think there’s something you’re questioning? Perhaps, I can help you.”
Verafia saw the young man gazing at her azure blue eyes. Although the emotions within them were different, for some reason, she again thought of Igter’s initial distant and seemingly hostile expression.
“Nothing happened.”
Igter repeated his words.
