I Was The Hero, But I Woke Up as a Phoenix Princess! – Chapter 794

“Actually, it’s because of Sister, I was born. Of course, I shouldn’t covet what belongs to Sister. I was originally your and Master’s sword… but, I’m already very happy that neither you nor Master treated me as a tool.”
The young girl’s gentle voice reached her ears. Verafia looked at her slightly curved lips and a pair of bright golden eyes.
She suddenly felt her own selfishness again.
Even though she was a sword spirit girl born from the End, she also had emotions and a complete personality… yet she selfishly wanted her to replace herself, as a substitute “Verafia,” to accompany Ig.
Otherwise, why wouldn’t the sword spirit girl be as tsundere and willful as herself, but instead, be a gentle girl?
“Mmm, but… Xiao Yan is my younger sister.”
Verafia tilted her head and suddenly spoke softly. She turned her head again, lifting her chin, and looked at Ig beside her with slight annoyance:
“Hmph, since she’s this young lady’s sister, Ig, you guy, haven’t treated her well. I told you, you have to take good care of ‘Veer’.”
Ig was startled by the girl’s words, and the sword spirit girl quickly raised her head: “No. Master, you’ve been very good to me…”
“Hmph, that’s not the case. Giving you a name like ‘Qing Yan’ doesn’t sound like a girl at all.”
Verafia’s golden eyes narrowed, looking indignant.
Ig recalled that this name was chosen after he and Ophi discussed it, by taking one character each from the sword techniques of End and Verafia. However, he seemed to have not considered the sword spirit girl’s wishes.
“No, no, actually, I like it very much,” the sword spirit girl said quickly.
“I already said she’s my sister.”
Verafia jumped off the bed and onto the floor, her small and exquisite shoes making a crisp sound. “Taptap,” she ran to the front of the sword spirit girl.
While puffing her snow-white cheeks, Verafia raised her little head and looked at the somewhat flustered girl. Her big golden eyes suddenly rolled, revealing her small white tiger teeth, and she smiled cheerfully:
“How about, Xiao Yan, will you be called Vero from now on?”
Of course, the girl shyly waved her hands and refused a name like “Vero.” Finally, under Verafia’s expectant gaze, the sword spirit girl shyly chose the name “Rufina.”
With a “dingling” sound, Rufina hid in the sword, and the transformed End fell to the ground with a crisp sound. The even more slender and elegant sword edge, shimmering with floating light, seemed to reflect the girl’s dissatisfied and shy mood.
“Really, this guy, is she that shy?”
Verafia tilted her head, touched a few strands of soft golden hair, and then squatted to pick up the End that had fallen to the ground. Her young little hand gently stroked it. Although she was still small, she completely put on the demeanor of an “older sister.”
“Actually, Xiao Yan really likes the name Veer gave her.”
Ig said with a smile. He took the End handed over by the girl, and as the human now contracted with her, he could feel the sword spirit girl’s joy.
“It’s all your fault. Hmph, if you had chosen a good name, this young lady wouldn’t have had to do this extra work.”
Verafia raised her little face and pouted at him. She wanted to climb onto the bed and sit on the young man again, but she tried several times without success.
This girl, has she forgotten that she can transform into a little phoenix?
Seeing her dejected expression, Ig couldn’t help but smile, picked her up, and held her in his arms.
“Wuwu, idiot,” the girl said shyly, her earlobes blushing, burying her head and muttering softly.
Ig’s fingers stroked her soft hair as he tried to smooth things over: “Cough, cough. Speaking of which, I’m indeed not very good at naming. I still have to rely on Veer.”
“Mmm, this won’t do.”
Verafia raised her head lightly, “In the future, when you have cute little children, you’ll still have to think for them…”
Ig’s mind went blank. Just now, did this young lady say, children with her?
“Eee, I, I mean… wuwu.”
Verafia also realized she had accidentally let it slip. She whimpered, buried her little head in Ig’s embrace, and her small fists shamefully pounded his chest:
“Stupid Ig, you’re bullying me again… wuwu, I’m still so young, dammit, you perverted loli-con!”
…
Ig held the girl, gently stroking her hair and coaxing her for a long time. Verafia, sitting in his arms, shyly revealed her little head again.
Well, although she’s a young lady, it’s completely like coaxing a child.
Ig couldn’t help but tease himself in his heart.
“Right.”
Verafia’s fair little face still had a trace of blush. Suddenly, she made a small sound: “Ig, it seems you’ve already become a Star.”
“Yes. It was about half a year ago, when we were still in the Dwarf Royal City.”
Ig’s gaze lifted slightly, and he said with a smile.
Star, this was a realm he once dared not hope for. Half a year ago, with the origin of the Star God remaining in his soul and Verafia’s flame shards, he stepped into the ranks of Star realm experts from Crystal, and it was a natural progression, without encountering any difficulties.
“Is that so?”
Verafia, holding his hand, blinked her gem-like golden eyes and slightly straightened her small body in Ig’s embrace, looking at him with newfound curiosity.
“However, this young lady never expected that you guy, are actually the reincarnation of a Star God who voluntarily gave up his authority and whose origin is in this world? No wonder this young lady always felt that your True Sight Eye was a bit different from Moon’s…”
Moon was a Sacred Light priest who had once fought alongside Verafia to defeat the Demon King, and is now the Pope of Light. Similar to the Cyclops, one of the Four Heavenly Kings among the Demon Race, Moon also possessed the “True Sight Eye,” which was said to be able to see through all things and perceive the truth.
However, regardless of how it was, compared to the authority of the “True” Star God Rieloti, there were naturally many differences.
Verafia tilted her small head again, “If that’s the case, it’s no wonder this young lady had such a hard time helping you advance back then…”
Ig nodded. After following Verafia, his realm progressed very quickly, but each time, it wasn’t through ordinary means.
Whether it was Dragon’s Blood, the Blessing of the Moon Elf, the Demon King’s Heart… or Verafia’s divine spark fragments and Star God’s origin, each one was almost indispensable.
Verafia had also wanted to train herself through orthodox methods, but most of the precious magic potions she meticulously crafted yielded little benefit.
Recalling now, perhaps it was because her origin of the soul was not completely compatible with the power of this world.
“Hmph, hmph. In that case, it must be that this young lady had good judgment back then to recruit a reincarnation of a Star God.” Verafia suddenly lifted her head happily and softly hummed.
Actually, strictly speaking, Ig was not the reincarnation of the “True” Star God. As the origin of the Star God, it was the origin that Rieloti voluntarily abandoned and merged into the world, thereby reshaping and giving birth to him.
Perhaps there was a connection between them, but Ig and Rieloti only had essential similarities, being two completely independent individuals.
Gazing at the girl’s profile, Ig stroked her delicate and soft hair and softly said:
“But, no matter what kind of person I am, I will always be Veer’s attendant.”
