I Was The Hero, But I Woke Up as a Phoenix Princess! – Chapter 778

Chapter 17 Memories and a Girl’s Instinct (Part 2)
Ophi liss’s indignant voice came, filled with a hint of sourness, which made Igter unable to help but curve his lips into a smile.
He still remembered when the Ice Dragon Girl had wanted to knead the girl, who was still like a chick, and the sight of her dodging with a panicked cry… this had greatly hurt Ophi liss’s heart.
Not to mention, after knowing that she could communicate with this little phoenix, Igter had tried to correct her title. After Verafia grudgingly changed her address, this Ice Dragon Girl, just as she was dispelling her sulk, then leaned forward with great interest and had a sudden thought: she wanted her to also call herself “Mom”.
—Of course, the result was naturally that Verafia cried out in terror, flapped her little wings, and wanted to burrow into Igter’s embrace to hide.
“Why is it like this!”
The Ice Dragon Girl bit her lip, her big eyes brimming with tears, looking wronged and pitiful. “Veer clearly saw me when she opened her eyes. Why are you treating her differently and only being nice to Igter?”
After saying that, she ran to the side and sulked aggrievedly.
However, at this moment, Ophi liss again nuzzled up to him, pouting, and said with great sourness.
“Even if she’s still the young Veer… isn’t she still a petty and willful young lady?”
While his young lady was still small and asleep, following Ophi liss, Igter also teased her a little. He then reached out his finger to stroke the soft beautiful hair of the girl in his embrace.
Regarding the girl’s reaction right after hatching, Igter had always felt that it wasn’t just a chick’s instinct to call him “Mom” as Ophi liss had said.
That was the infant Verafia. Although she had no memories, she naturally felt an inexplicable closeness to him… As for Ophi liss, although she was also the girl’s good friend, perhaps it was because Verafia saw her as a love rival that she resisted her so much?
However, for this simple-hearted Ice Dragon Girl, she truly considered herself and Veer as friends. This kind of relationship was far more important than the so-called “love” emotions of the past.
The action just now was probably just the Ice Dragon Girl’s simple and sudden thought to tease the infant Verafia.
“But, what if Miss Verafia doesn’t regain her memories for a long time?”
Beside him, Ain塞尔’s voice came with some worry.
“As long as she’s still Veer, that’s enough. I can wait for her forever.”
Igter smiled calmly and replied.
Before, he was just worried that the girl in his arms was only a part of Verafia, and not the complete her… In that case, Igter wouldn’t know how to face her.
As for raising this little phoenix and then having her as “Veer,” such a plot might be seen as delightful in some stories, but Igter couldn’t accept it.
After all, what Igter truly loved was the girl as “Verafia,” not her phantom. In the past, Verafia wanted the girl born from End to replace her and accompany her. At that time, although Igter hadn’t spoken, in his heart, he had undoubtedly refused.
To him, this was merely a self-deceiving means.
“Mmm, Master, you don’t have to worry.”
A gentle and melodious voice drifted over. As if sensing his thoughts, the Sword Spirit Girl of End slightly raised her beautiful face, a captivating smile appearing, and then softly said,
“She is indeed Elder Sister… Perhaps, it’s just because she’s too young, and her spirit can’t bear past emotions and memories, so she sealed them protectively. As long as she grows a little older, she’ll probably recall her memories with you.”
The Sword Spirit Girl, with her fair and slender fingers, made a small gesture on her chest, then tilted her head and thought for a moment, appearing quite relaxed as she raised her small face and said in a cheerful tone,
“Actually, it’s probably just that Sister hasn’t absorbed enough energy, which is why she was such a tiny phoenix after hatching… Mmm, as long as she absorbs a little more energy, she should grow up soon!”
Under the quiet night sky, the girl’s clear and melodious voice clearly reached the ears of everyone present, including Gavin and many other elves and dwarf warriors, who let out disbelieving sounds.
Not long ago, they had been guarding the surroundings and clearly felt the vast and terrifying spiritual power, like the entire sea, being absorbed by that tiny phoenix egg. The Holy Spring of Moon God’s radiance and the spring of life had not only been completely depleted of spiritual power, but in their current sight, they were almost completely dry.
Such immense power, let alone Saints, even legendary powerhouses might explode… But the little girl in Igter’s arms had not only absorbed it all, but according to the Sword Spirit Girl, it wasn’t even enough?
The Elven Knight Lolinta of the Sacred Tree stood to the side, her emerald eyes slightly raised, looking with some surprise at the little golden-haired girl.
“Is it because of the energy?”
Igter shook his head and revealed a smile. Although the little girl in his embrace was currently just a little phoenix, she had once been the goddess of blazing flames… The current phoenix egg was also born from Herafir stripping away the origin of blazing flames and merging it with a Creation Divine Spark.
In such a situation, requiring additional demonic power was only natural.
Hmm, Verafia, who was born as the Flame Goddess in the first place, had also slept for countless years in the endless sea of blazing flames before awakening only after he fell in?
Thinking of this, Igter felt somewhat relieved, and then looked at the Wood Elf Girl beside him with a hint of apology. “Miss Ain, can you take Veer to the Holy Spring again… If there’s anything I need to do, I will definitely not shirk it.”
“Hmph, what are you saying, Igter.”
The Wood Elf Girl crossed her arms in front of her chest, feigning displeasure and pouting. “Miss Verafia has helped me so much, of course, I won’t shirk it… Mmm, although those old guys guarding the Holy Spring are very stingy, I have my ways…”
“Is Lord Igter preparing to take this girl to the Holy Spring?”
Suddenly, a clear voice came. Igter turned his head. His exquisite silver-plated armor slightly refracted the light in the faint glow, outlining the girl’s slender and graceful figure.
She slightly raised her face, her light green hair cascading down. Her face was heroic yet delicate.
“Miss Lolinta?”
Lolinta nodded gently. She gazed at the young man, a soft smile rippling across her face.
“If Igter and little Ain are preparing to go to the Life Holy Spring, we can go along… However, if you want to borrow the Holy Spring, just little Ain might still be a bit difficult.”
