Chapter 616: Chapter 74 Unfinished End
“Bang!”
The wooden door was forcefully pushed open with a “thump.” However, perhaps due to excessive force, the petite figure that appeared in front of them rushed out and fell.
Fortunately, Ig was quick-witted. He caught her with a sweep of his arm, and what met his eyes was a patch of vibrant crimson hair, and below it, a plump, cute, and exquisite face like a young loli.
“Little Nina, be careful,” Ig said with a smile, ruffling her little head.
“Mmm, it’s Brother Ig…”
Nina lifted her little head, a bit groggy, and looked around. Suddenly, her big eyes, as dazzling as rubies, lit up, and she happily called out:
“Sister Veer!”
As Nina gently pounced on her, Verafia’s cheeks bloomed with a soft smile. She half-crouched, her jade-white fingertips moved, and she gently poked Nina’s face as she ran up to her.
Standing behind them, Ig shook his head, a humorous expression on his face.
Even when Nina was still a pigeon, she was so afraid of the Young Lady… Now she’s so close. Is it because of the drop of divine blood Verafia gave her?
Although she was a pigeon in the past, Nina’s true identity is a rare elemental spirit of fire. Just like the salamander, named “Fire Spirit” in legends, but it was kept by Ain, appearing in the form of a fire pigeon.
However, just as the ancestor of Misella’s legend, the first ray of brilliance cast by the “Moon God,” Niea, the moon elf girl, also transformed from an elemental spirit into the adorable girl she is now due to a drop of Verafia’s divine blood.
Ig lowered his gaze again.
Compared to when he saw her half a month ago, Nina’s crimson hair glowed much brighter, and the aura emanating from her young body had become much more profound. Even he couldn’t see through it clearly for a moment, feeling something mystical and obscure.
— Perhaps, half a month ago, Verafia gave Nina a crystal of her shed divine blood. Looking at it this way, has Nina already absorbed the Young Lady’s divine power crystal?
Ig rested his chin in his hand and thought. His slightly turned gaze saw Verafia’s face, who was pinching Nina’s tender little face. A few rays of sunlight sprinkled on her delicate, smiling snowy cheeks, and while moving, they gave Ig a gentle feeling.
He was startled by the thought that suddenly popped into his mind: “Veer seems to really like Nina. Does she really consider her her daughter… Speaking of which, does the Young Lady really like children? Will she one day take me by the hand and want to have a little phoenix?”
He couldn’t help but imagine such a scene in his mind, and a happy smile bloomed on his face.
Seeming to notice something unusual, Verafia raised her head, a little puzzled, and looked at the attendant who was suddenly smiling foolishly.
At this moment, a soft voice, like a beautiful melody, came through: “Mmm, Nina, I’ve told you, don’t run around like this… It’ll be dangerous if you encounter the alchemy solution!”
A clear and melodious girl’s voice, as if imbued with the fresh aura of life, arrived before she appeared. Ig looked up, and the wood elf girl wearing a very casual long dress, with emerald green hair cascading down, appeared, tying her beautiful hair with both hands.
“Ain!” Ophi waved her little hand.
“Ah, it’s Ig and Ophie!”
Ain said with some surprise. She then saw Nina and the golden-haired girl squatting in front of her. She quickly walked up to the girl and tapped her forehead with her jade finger:
“Mmm, I told you, don’t eat Verafia’s gift so quickly… Verafia wouldn’t have many such precious divine blood crystals!”
Although Ain was a daughter of a large family and a member of the ancient tree elves, her identity was not low. However, if Nina were to be greedy again and ask Verafia for divine power crystals, she probably wouldn’t be able to repay it even if she sold herself!
“Wuwu, Nina isn’t…” Holding her head, the red-haired girl lowered her face pitifully, her voice about to sob.
Verafia raised her golden eyes.
Although she was a very young wood elf, standing next to Nina, she looked like a young mother scolding a daughter for making a mistake. This scene with such a contrasting effect made her momentarily ignore Ig’s foolish smile.
“Actually, it’s nothing. It’s just that Nina wants to be close to me… I like Nina very much too.”
Slipping her slender hands from her skirt, Verafia stood up gently. She lightly brushed aside her falling golden hair and smiled crisply, helping the girl out of a predicament:
“Besides, I still have a few fragments of divine power. They don’t do me any good left on me. If Nina likes them, I can give them to her again.”
Nina, who had been looking wronged just moments ago, her big eyes immediately lit up.
However, as soon as Nina lifted her little head, she was firmly tapped by the elf girl, who quickly pulled her aside: “Miss Verafia, please don’t spoil this guy too much… Otherwise, it will be difficult to handle her in the future.”
Although she said that, in the elf girl’s tone, besides complaints, Verafia could also feel a deep affection for Nina.
Verafia’s long eyelashes blinked curiously on her golden eyes.
Is Ain really treating Nina like her own daughter?
“And if it continues like this… Miss Verafia, I won’t be able to repay it, and I’ll be dragged down by this guy, working for a lifetime.”
As she couldn’t help but fantasize, the wood elf girl’s voice came.
“Is that so…?”
Verafia gently cupped her face with her slender hand, looking at her sticking out her thin tongue in a way that seemed to be playing the victim. She couldn’t help but chuckle, and then smiled like a tinkling bell.
However, in her heart, she was thinking, if, as Ain said, she could stay by her side, it really wouldn’t be bad?
Yes, this thought seemed to have already occurred to Verafia last year… This sister of Ravnos, who possessed the core inheritance of the Branstack family, was quite to her liking.
“Oh, right.”
As if remembering something, Ain suddenly raised her face: “Miss Verafia, did you come specifically to see the progress of the End?”
Ig stepped forward: “If Miss Ain doesn’t mind…”
“What’s there to mind.”
The wood elf girl shook her head, gently patted Nina, telling her to go and prepare first. Then she turned back, her beautiful emerald blue eyes, like jade, looked at Ig and the golden-haired girl, and Ophi beside them:
“Then, Ig, Miss Vera, and Ophie, follow me!”
Ig smiled, took the little hand offered by the girl, called Ophi, and followed the wood elf’s retreating figure.
The interior of Ain’s residence was decorated by her like an elven tree house, filled with the aura of life.
However, following her, Ig faintly sensed several powerful spells hidden within the house.
Not only were there spells of illusion and protection, but there were also some offensive magic arrays that made him feel extremely threatened.
— The End has not been written yet…
