I Was The Hero, But I Woke Up as a Phoenix Princess! – Chapter 788

Chapter 28 The Legend of the Phoenix
The legend of the phoenix circulates throughout the world, holding even greater significance for elves… In legends from countless years ago, the Goddess of Life, Siluslyss, first descended upon this land, accompanied by the cry of a phoenix, her slender figure dancing with it.
In legend, the Goddess of Life brought the seeds of life and, together with the divine phoenix bird, sowed them across the world. In ancient times, the brilliance of life poured between the sacred tree and the spring of life, and the phoenix’s song accompanying the goddess blessed the world.
There are even rumors that the divine phoenix bird, with its endless vitality and rebirth through nirvana, was born as a symbol of life, just like the Goddess.
And for elves, the arrival of a legendary phoenix before them signifies even more… it almost signifies the birth of a Saint King!
Even in the tens of thousands of years of elven history, there are only a few such records.
Bessel gazes with burning eyes at the slender, young golden-haired girl. The girl seems startled, her small hands tightly clutching Ig.
And the girl before him, if she can truly transform into a phoenix, even if she isn’t pure-blooded, must have a not low bloodline… You must know that the so-called “Saint Queen,” that wood elf scumbag, is merely a low-blooded mongrel bird beside her!
And now, before his eyes, is not only such a beautiful and cute little girl, but also a legendary phoenix.
Such a delicate and beautiful young figure, being toyed with wantonly by himself, the Saint King, her beautifully soft hair clinging to her smooth skin, lingering within the tender embrace, her cute whimpers filled with youthful yearning…
Such thoughts made Bessel’s heart burn even more, and he instinctively moved closer to that small figure.
But his steps were blocked by a figure. Bessel bumped into him, and subconsciously raised his head. The person blocking him was a human youth.
“A mere human scumbag dares to touch the noble body of the Golden People!”
The noble elf’s heart exploded with rage. Before him, Ig said with a cold smile, “So, what exactly do you want to do?”
This was merely a rhetorical question. The sickening greed in the other party’s eyes and the burning gaze that completely betrayed his inner emotions had undoubtedly exceeded Ig’s limit of tolerance.
Bessel was taken aback for a moment. He hadn’t expected this seemingly ordinary human kid to dare speak to him like this, and immediately became angry:
“Human scumbag, do you know that the girl beside you is a phoenix?”
“Of course, Veer is a little phoenix,”
Ig said plainly, holding the girl’s little hand. Long ago, he had worried that Verafia’s identity as a phoenix would be exposed, attracting greedy hunters.
Of course, he later realized that she, that young lady, was actually the Goddess of Flame, and he had been worrying for nothing… However, Ig now, even when facing an ordinary Saint, would not easily be defeated, and was not worried about this matter being known to outsiders.
“Since you know, why don’t you obediently offer her to me!”
Bessel reprimanded, “Humble human, low as you are, merely being by her side is a blasphemy! Only the noble Golden People are worthy of her beauty.”
“Heh…”
Ig was actually angered into laughter by him. He had met many dandies, but one like this high elf was the first time.
“You want to take Veer away?”
“Hearing a High Elf’s request is your honor,”
Bessel said. He saw the golden-haired girl, who was gently holding Ig, quietly raise her eyes, a trace of shyness flickering in her timid golden pupils.
This must be the young phoenix, realizing the difference between the low-class human and a noble Golden Person. This made the young elf’s heart surge with excitement. He forcibly suppressed his racing emotions and revealed a smile that he thought was gentlemanly and aristocratic towards Verafia.
Immediately, he raised his chin high, gazing proudly at the black-haired youth before him, glancing at the sword spirit girl and the Silver Moon Elf behind Ig. A dim red light flickered in his eyes as he licked his lips.
“Heh heh, however, although you are just a low-class human, if you hand over these two women to me, I might consider letting you be my subordinate and experience the nobility of the Golden People!”
The red-dressed sword spirit girl couldn’t help but frown and took a step forward, but Ig stopped her with his hand. Ig raised his face and shook his head, looking at the Golden Elf who was still acting like a proud noble:
“Yesterday, I told Little Fei that you are just an insignificant dandy. However, I must say, I’ve seen quite a few noble dandies… but few are as foolish as you.”
As his voice slowly emerged, the vast aura of a Star-rank expert instantly overflowed from Ig. The noble elf, who had been holding his chin high, felt as if his throat was constricted, his face flushed red, and he was instantly forced to his knees.
The release of the Star-rank aura startled many residents of the elf town. They rushed over and saw Bessel, whose throat was being choked and who was kneeling at Ig’s feet in extreme pain. Some wanted to step forward to dissuade them, but they were blocked by the solidified Star-rank aura.
“You, you… you’re actually a Star-rank!”
With a suffocating dry cough, the Golden Elf’s face contorted, his eyes wide like dead fish. With great difficulty, but with extreme rage, he managed to speak:
“Human scumbag, how dare you insult a Golden noble!”
“Noble? Heh… Proud of so-called honor and bloodline, unfortunately, in my eyes, this is merely rotten outer clothing on a rotten corpse. You regard the name of Gold as your only pride, unaware that this is merely the delusion of a rotten insect?”
Ig sneered, “Moreover, esteemed noble, with your stupidity and greed, even if I were to eliminate you, with your father being just a town mayor, or your great Golden Clan, what price could you make me pay?”
“Scumbag, you are insulting the honor of the Golden Clan!”
Suddenly, a fierce light flashed in the eyes of the noble elf beneath him: he suddenly lunged, grabbing the gorgeously gem-adorned long sword and slashing it directly at Ig’s throat!
However, with Ig’s Star-rank level, even if he hadn’t fully formed his domain, even if he stood still, how could a mere dandy break through?
Ig had intentionally re
