I Was The Hero, But I Woke Up as a Phoenix Princess! – Chapter 814

This complete social death experience made Miss Verafia wish she could find a crack to crawl into.
She looked around, and what made her even more ashamed was seeing Ig’s face beside the Sacred Tree Knight.
His hand resting on the carriage door, Ig slightly raised his azure eyes, a smile playing on his lips as he looked at her.
“Woo.”
With a mournful cry, a faint golden light flickered on Verafia’s body, and with a crisp phoenix cry, her wings stirred the brilliant phoenix fire, finding a gap and leaving only a trail of light as she flew out of the carriage.
However, her small body was not significantly hindered, and she was caught in Ig’s hands. Ig chuckled and brought the childish phoenix girl closer to his eyes.
“Damn Ig…”
With a short, pleasant cry, Verafia struggled with her wings, but seeing that this guy had no intention of letting go, she angrily pecked his hand, her bright gold and magnificent phoenix eyes showing a hint of grievance.
She had only intended to hide in the carriage for a while, at least until she wasn’t so ashamed… This damn Ig must have deliberately wanted to embarrass her!
Ig didn’t think as much as she did. He saw the grievance in the little phoenix’s eyes, rubbed her little head, and said with a smile:
“Miss Lolinta probably didn’t expect you to be so… well, so cute, Veer. Look, even Little Fei likes you like this.”
While gently comforting her, Ig also caressed the soft feathers on the girl’s wings. The touch of the feathers and her warm body was soft like hazy clouds, and between the threads, it felt like touching strands of silk like shimmering light.
Well, even though she was still a little phoenix, and her phoenix phantom’s magnificent colors had seemed quite tender before, the feel of this girl’s feathers was still quite good.
Ig couldn’t help but think this thought, holding the little phoenix girl in his embrace, and boarding the carriage with Lolinta, who was beside him.
He and Lolinta had come because they sensed a magic in the carriage. But by the looks of it, it seemed that only this little girl Verafia and Ophi were playing.
“Is that so…”
After hearing Ain tell the story, Ig rested his right hand on his chin and looked amusingly at Verafia, who was standing there like a dazed person.
The little girl with golden hair hugged her knees with both hands, her small head buried dejectedly between her slender legs. From an observer’s perspective, Verafia, who had heard her embarrassing story told by Ain again, had no intention of refuting it, appearing completely self-abandoned.
Ig picked her up, his fingers gently stroking her soft golden hair, touching her tender little face, and comforted her, “Veer is still a child, it’s natural to be a little playful. Besides, Veer is already a good child for not throwing a tantrum…”
As he said this, Ig could barely suppress the smile on his lips.
Who’s a child!
Verafia turned her golden eyes and glared at Ig angrily. She harbored a suspicion: was this guy comforting her, or deliberately teasing her?
“Ig…”
A soft, delicate, and pleasant voice sounded beside him. The Ice Dragon Girl moved her body, her little hand gently tugging at his sleeve, her crystal eyes, as brilliant as gems, looked at the young man’s face with anticipation.
Verafia snorted lightly, crossing her arms and turning her head away.
She was not a child on the surface. With her rich life experience, she could tell at a glance from the expression flashing in this silly Ice Dragon’s eyes that this silly dragon was again thinking of asking Ig to have her children.
“Veer’s little phoenix?”
Ig couldn’t help but smile, but facing the Ice Dragon Girl’s expectant gaze, he still shook his head.
“I can’t make decisions about such things. After all, it’s Veer’s child, and this girl is the Young Lady… I naturally have to listen to Veer.”
As he spoke, he also rubbed the girl’s little head.
Upon hearing Ig admit her family status, Verafia immediately regained her spirit, her big eyes blinked, and she proudly raised her little head: “Hmph, it’s good that you’re sensible. As an attendant, you should naturally listen to the Young Lady…”
Her voice sounded softly in the air. For some reason, Verafia still felt something was not right. She lightly furrowed her brows, resting her chin in her small hand and pondering for a long time.
Wait, who said this young lady wanted to have little phoenixes with you! This hateful guy is deliberately taking advantage of this young lady again… That’s right, back then, my wings were also messed with by this guy for that little Ice Dragon without even asking me!
“Hateful guy…”
Muttering with her mouth, Verafia crossed her arms. She decided to ignore Ig for the entire day, turning her little head to the side and sulking.
“Right, Sister Ain, why did you suddenly come here?” Suddenly, Ain’s clear and pleasant voice sounded in her ears, causing Verafia to subtly shift her gaze again. Where her gaze fell, the Wood Elf Girl’s emerald eyes looked at Lolinta curiously.
“I originally just wanted to visit Little Ain and Miss Verafia.”
Lolinta said with a shallow smile, her gaze shifting to outside the carriage window: “But, don’t worry, we are already very close to Ebrolar.”
Verafia’s gaze followed and looked out the window. Compared to the Sacred Tree she had only glimpsed from afar before, its branches, like crystalline emeralds, adorned the mid-air. The wind rustled, creating green waves, and in the distance, the ancient and vicissituous, yet infinitely vital, Sacred Tree trunk stood like a towering giant tower at the end of her vision.
In the distance, by the Sacred Tree, one could vaguely see a small town built around a Sacred Spring. It was the Sacred Spring of Life, and the Sacred Spring Town “Ebrolar” got its name from it.
“Is that the Elven Sacred Spring…?”
She turned her head and looked out.
The dwarf envoys, such as Gavin, had already gone to the Sky City in advance. And by the carriage, there were not many troops, only a few Elven Knights brought by the Sacred Tree Knights like Lolinta, but they were undoubtedly elites.
for the past few days, they had been guarded by these elves after separating from the escort troops.
Due to concern about traitors, Lolinta and the others chose a more hidden route, and it was only here that they felt relieved.
“Well, do I not know if it’s relief at being safe, or if it means I won’t go back on my word?”
Her eyelashes blinked in her golden eyes, and Verafia thought amusingly. She then raised her gaze slightly.
Compared to the Sacred Tree, the Sacred Spring of Life, considered a holy land by countless elves, was ancient and enduring. Verafia could clearly feel countless profound and obscure magical traces left by ancient elven sages between the sky and the earth. Even now, she couldn’t help but feel surprised in her heart.
“Clang.”
A crisp sound resounded as the carriage wheels turned. The Sacred Spring path where the carriage traveled was unobstructed. The fallen leaves of the Sacred Tree covered the white floor tiles, and the runes flickered with a crystal brilliance. The hazy mist was parted, and the small town of the Sacred Spring was right before their eyes.
Verafia gently closed her eyes, sensing the traces of subtle law fluctuations. She slightly turned her head, and what appeared in her sight, besides the majestic Sacred Spring and the elegant small town, were three elves in different clothing, who seemed to have been waiting here for a long time.
