Chapter 53: A Brawl Between Young Ladies
The sound of metal wheels slowly began to turn. The space inside the carriage was not very large. Moreover, despite being made of very precious metal and inscribed with profound runes, it could not withstand the fight between two star maidens.
Therefore, except for the very beginning, Verafia and Ophi had both restrained their magic and fought only with their bodies.
Sitting on the side, Ain held Niya in her arms, her emerald eyes blinking. Soon, she saw Verafia, who still looked like a child, unable to defeat the Ice Dragon Girl and being held captive in her embrace again.
“Damn you, stupid dragon…”
Verafia struggled with might, but found herself unable to break free from the Ice Dragon’s claws. Tears welled up in her big golden eyes as she raised her small head.
Seeing the girl’s wronged expression, Ophi felt she had gone a bit too far. She placed Verafia between her smooth, tender legs, stuck out her small tongue, and her long dragon tail, resting on the chair, swayed a little bashfully.
“Um, it’s just that… I find little Vera so cute… I just wanted to hold her.”
Verafia angrily raised her big golden eyes. She had not forgotten that a few nights ago, while resting, this stupid dragon had suddenly snatched her from Ig’s arms, and just like now, treated her like a doll and “ravaged” her.
This idiotic Ice Dragon had the audacity to say that Ig had held her when she first hatched, which made her very sad, so she wanted to compensate.
How could that be? She had no memory at the time, so how could she be blamed… If anyone should be blamed, it should be Ig!
Verafia’s pearly teeth bit into her tender lips, a look of grievance on her face.
As for why Verafia hadn’t sought help from Ig… well, there were only three young ladies in the entire carriage. That human boy had been pushed out of the carriage by two eagerly running young girls early in the morning.
“This stupid dragon must have deliberately brought this Wood Elf to torment this young lady!” Verafia maliciously surmised.
A soft chuckle suddenly echoed in the air, as pleasant as the tinkling of wind chimes. The Wood Elf girl tried her best to stifle it, but it was still clear in the carriage’s limited space. She noticed the slightly trembling golden eyes of the little golden-haired girl. Her pure white slender hand covered her lips, and she apologetically indicated that it was not intentional.
Verafia suddenly remembered that Ain had been watching them the entire time.
Thinking that she had been brawling with that idiotic Ice Dragon like a child, for others to see, Verafia’s face instantly flushed with a hint of shame. She raised her head and glared at Ophi, the culprit, her eyes wide with anger.
“What’s wrong, Vera?”
Her little head was gently rubbed by a smooth jade hand. The Ice Dragon Girl blinked her frost-blue eyes, her crystal-like clear eyes sparkling, and her tender, melodious voice asked curiously.
Ah… she almost forgot. This stupid dragon was also naturally airheaded.
Verafia immediately deflated. Sitting on the girl’s smooth thighs, she crossed her little arms stubbornly and grumbled with puffed-out, snow-white cheeks, “Stupid Little Fei… If you like children so much, why don’t this young lady buy you a doll? Then you can hug it every day.”
“That won’t do. How can an ordinary doll be as cute as Vera?” The Ice Dragon Girl shook her head vigorously. She rubbed the girl’s head and said solemnly.
Suddenly, Ophi’s frost-blue eyes lit up again, a joyful gleam flashing. Her crystalline eyes, like clear crystal, gazed at the golden-haired girl in her arms.
“That’s right, Vera’s future children will also be cute little phoenixes like Vera… So, can I borrow Vera and Ig’s children to play with in the future?”
“How can that be!”
Facing the Ice Dragon Girl’s expectant gaze, Verafia’s snow-white face instantly turned crimson. Disregarding her pure heart, she directly refused.
This hateful stupid dragon was already thinking about this young lady’s children… Wait, no. When did this young lady say she would have little phoenixes, and with that Ig?
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, shame and anger filling her thoughts. Verafia felt her little head was quite confused, her snow-white little face flushed. She carefully widened her golden eyes, looked around to confirm that Ig was not nearby, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At that moment, Ain, who was holding Niya, approached appropriately. Her emerald eyes blinked, coming to Verafia’s rescue. “Oh, speaking of which, Miss Verafia is also a cute little phoenix. But, it seems I haven’t seen Miss Verafia in her phoenix form very often?”
She tried hard to recall.
It seemed that in her memory, she had only seen the girl as a young bird phoenix when she first hatched. After Verafia regained her memory, she seemed to always appear in the form of this cute girl.
Ain lowered her head and looked at the red-haired loli beside her.
Based on her experience of taking care of Niya, transforming into human form at a young age consumed a lot of energy. Even Niya, after overexerting herself last time, had remained in the form of a Fire Pigeon for a long time.
Even now, Niya only occasionally transformed into this loli form.
Hearing the Wood Elf girl’s voice, Verafia’s already rosy face was tinged with more blush. She forced herself to hold up her snow-white slender neck, “Ah, of course. Humph, this young lady is…”
“Of course not like that!”
Ophi interrupted her first, her voice cheerful and full of interest. “Vera, who is still a little girl now, can’t do such a thing.”
“Doesn’t Ain know? At night, Vera often transforms into a little bird and sleeps on Ig. Yesterday, I even petted Vera’s little wings; they were very soft and comfortable…”
Verafia’s expression became stiff, like a porcelain doll. To the extent that she didn’t quite hear Ophi’s words clearly.
Transforming into a phoenix while sleeping at night was unavoidable… Not only was it the most comfortable posture for the current Verafia, but she also had difficulty controlling it after falling asleep.
Moreover, just like human children often felt sleepy, her body was that of a chick. Even with the will of a deity, it was difficult to maintain the energy expenditure for a long time.
But—
Verafia clutched her tiny fists aggrievedly.
Damn Ig, letting others touch her wings. Damn stupid dragon, revealing her secrets here…
“Stupid Little Fei—Damn it!”
Verafia angrily raised her head and lunged at the Ice Dragon Girl again, flailing her arms and legs.
“Ain, and Miss Verafia—Eh?”
Suddenly, a voice tinged with surprise came from afar.
Startled, Verafia quickly turned her head. By the carriage window, Holy Tree Knight Lorienta’s face was slightly lowered, and she cast her gaze down with some surprise.
“I’ll try to overdo this chapter… (I feel like Little Fei hasn’t appeared for a long time. Well, let her and Vera develop their relationship~)”
“(Alright, it’s actually just that I’m being too verbose. This chapter was supposed to reach the Holy Spring…)”
