I Was The Hero, But I Woke Up as a Phoenix Princess! – Chapter 441

Chapter 441 Chapter 2 A Trace of Emotion
The clear spring water shimmered with rippling light, and the traces of flying birds in the transparent sky touched upon a rippling wave.
Verafia slightly pulled her skirt, looking at the approaching young man, and waved her little hand:
“Ig, you’re here!”
Ig let go of the Ice Dragon Girl’s hand that had been holding him, and smiled: “En. Here, did Young Lady and Little Fei find it together?”
“This young lady is not like that idiot who has so much free time and wants to play in the water… I just came to see.”
Her youthful face tilted slightly, and her lightly chiding tone touched the subtle sound of the wind.
Ophi swayed the young man’s sleeve, and her slender dragon tail seemed to sway along as well. She raised her bright, frost-blue eyes and looked at him: “Ig… wants to play.”
Looking at the pitiful expression on the Ice Dragon Girl’s exquisite, doll-like little face, Ig couldn’t help but chuckle and reached out to stroke her soft, frost-blue hair: “If Little Fei wants to play… just go. I’ll wait for you here.”
Ophi nodded vigorously, her face beaming with joy. She rushed to Verafia and tentatively asked, “Then, Verafia… and Little Fran, the spring water here seems very good. Shall we all take a bath together?”
“Tsk. I already said I’m not interested.”
Verafia crossed her arms and said with a slight turn of her small face. However, the young girl quickly turned around and slightly raised her tone: “However, Little Fran doesn’t need to accompany me… go play with this idiot.”
Although Ophi was a little disappointed that she hadn’t successfully invited Verafia, the little Ice Dragon Princess quickly cheered up again, took Little Fran’s hand, and ran into the distance.
Ig originally thought that Ophi would dive into the spring, but it seemed that for a dragon who had transformed into human form, wanting to play in the water would first require changing into suitable clothes.
The rustling sound of soft fabric touching the girl’s delicate skin was subtle in the quiet air.
Ophi and Fran had both changed into swimsuits, and after arriving at the spring, their fair and beautiful slender jade feet lightly touched the clear water as if testing it, and then they immersed their delicate bodies in the spring.
The girls’ clear laughter rippled through the water, and occasionally there were fluctuations of condensed ice magic, as if they were playing with each other.
The surrounding area of the clear spring was lush with grass. Verafia slightly pulled at the corner of her skirt and sat down with her slender legs clasped.
Looking at them splashing in the water, even Fran seemed to have let go of her suppressed emotions, her tender little face showing a long-lost and very age-appropriate happy smile. A ripple appeared in Verafia’s eyes, and the corners of her lips curved slightly.
The girl gently rested her slender hands, and her delicate body lay down among the pure white small flowers and green grass. The surrounding atmosphere was as tranquil as her mood, and the melodious singing of orioles was transmitted through the mirror-like sky.
Suddenly, Ig sat down beside her: “Young Lady, you really aren’t going to play with them… Fran and Little Fei seem very happy.”
“I already said… I’m not a child, so how could I be interested in this kind of game?”
After sitting up again, she covered her knees with her slender jade hands, pulling her pure white skirt over them. Verafia raised her head and snorted lightly.
En, Ophi, the Ice Dragon Princess, is a complete airhead, no different from a child in her mindset. As for Fran… you can tell from her appearance. It’s natural that these two are well-suited to play this kind of game.
Verafia thought to herself. Suddenly, the soft breeze blew her side hair, and the girl gently raised her eyes. Under the beautiful, flame-like golden colors, there was a slight bewilderment.
She rarely recalled her memories of being male now. Even excluding the almost eternal time in the endless sea of flames, the time she had spent as a girl after re-entering this world had also exceeded half a year.
Moreover, she didn’t know if she had been assimilated into the mindset of a girl, but she had no resistance at all; instead, she seemed to enjoy it: pretty and soft dresses, delicious cakes and desserts, and even, after a girl’s little temper, there was someone to coax and care for her.
Well, although she heard that for human girls, an experience called menstruation seemed to be a very painful thing, for Verafia, there was no need to consider it at all.
In any case, as a girl, it seemed like a very good choice, but…
Verafia’s long eyelashes flickered slightly, and her beautiful golden eyes looked at the familiar profile of the black-haired young man sitting beside her.
“Vera, did you think of something?”
Ig turned his head, gently brushed a strand of hair that had fallen onto her shoulder, and smiled.
Verafia blinked her golden eyes, revealing a lively curiosity:
“I was just thinking… that idiot Ice Dragon looks quite good in her swimsuit, and Little Fran too. Ig, do you particularly want them…?”
“Wait, Young Lady, what are you talking about—”
“Eh, am I not saying it correctly?”
Verafia feigned confusion, shifted her gaze, and looked back at the two girls. She propped her chin with her small hands and pondered: “Swimsuits like this, aren’t they supposed to be much more alluring than ordinary dresses…”
“A beautiful maiden, especially with her skin exposed by the wet fabric outlining her figure, and wet hair… logically, they should be very attractive to you human males.”
A hint of excitement suddenly appeared in Verafia’s big eyes, and she grabbed the young man’s arm: “And Little Fran! Although she still looks like a loli child, you know, before being this Young Lady’s younger sister, she is a girl of the Blood Race. For Ig, there are absolutely no scruples, right?”
“That’s what you say… cough, cough, Young Lady, what are you talking about!”
Ig almost bit his tongue. What Verafia said… en, he did appreciate it, but at most, it was just appreciation.
As for Fran, not to mention the former Ellyriel, she was now a real loli child. Let alone Ig not being some bad guy with a tendency to collect young girls, just because she was the Young Lady beside him, even if Ig had a hundred guts, he wouldn’t dare to think wildly.
Ig suddenly thought, wasn’t this the Phoenix Lady, who was beautiful and charming but clearly restless, suddenly testing him with her words?
He felt a chill. Ig gave a dry laugh and reached out to stroke the girl’s soft hair: “However, why do you suddenly know these messy things, Young Lady?”
“Hey… this is what I earnestly learned from your human stories.”
The brilliant and slightly moist, lively eyes on the girl’s flawless little face entered Ig’s sight.
Verafia tilted her head slightly, and a mischievous smile appeared on her beautiful face:
“That’s right. Speaking of which, Ig, you are now the heir to your family’s territory… So, in the future, will you build a large swimming pool with beautiful stones, and then raise many, many beautiful girls?”
