I Was The Hero, But I Woke Up as a Phoenix Princess! – Chapter 869

Chapter 109 The Graveyard of the Great Elder
Beltnan’s tomb is located outside of Holy Spring Town. Although Ebrorrar is a famous holy land, it does not occupy a large area. Therefore, Verafia and Igget did not spend much time arriving.
Beneath the branches of the holy tree, the stream gurgled clearly, and trees grew in the soil.
Verafia remembered that quite a few people had come to attend Beltnan’s funeral a few days ago, but at this time, the elves were still at war with the dark elves, and the remaining elves in Holy Spring Town, apart from those severely injured and recuperating, had all left in a hurry. At this time, the graveyard appeared exceptionally quiet.
“Is this Beltnan’s graveyard?”
Igget’s wrist was gently pulled by the girl, and her ice-blue pupils flicked up to observe.
If Verafia hadn’t come in person, Igget would never have imagined that this quiet, even remote, graveyard would be the burial place of a legendary strong expert, a wood elf great elder whose status was almost comparable to that of a monarch.
“Miss Verafia?” Suddenly, a soft maiden’s voice came over. Igget turned her head and saw Ain.
The wood elf was only wearing a simple dress, and her casually tied emerald hair cascaded down softly like a waterfall. The pigeon Nya perched on her shoulder also happily flapped its wings, transforming into a red-haired loli and running to her side.
Following behind, Ain suddenly saw the exquisite dragon girl with crystal-like dragon wings beside the golden-haired girl and slowly stopped. Curiosity appeared in her emerald eyes, “Miss Dragon Girl, is this Igget?”
The wood elf girl blinked her long eyelashes and looked at the silver ice dragon girl, “Or should I call you Miss Igget now?”
“Cough, cough, Miss Ain, um…”
Igget was about to argue, but her melodious and beautiful voice, completely like that of an exquisite maiden, played between her ruby lips and jade teeth, making her feel even more ashamed, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.
Seriously, she should have known that appearing in front of acquaintances in such a dragon girl form would inevitably cause her shame.
Was Veer like this back then… No, at least she was truly a girl, but I never thought of being a dragon girl!
Verafia’s delicate lips curved. Standing beside her, she watched the blush quickly rise on Igget’s snow-white face, and her awkward appearance of wanting to cover her face to cool down but hesitating, she felt extremely smug.
“Hmph, you silly Igget, for bullying this young lady. Now, when it’s happening to you, you know how it feels, right?”
Verafia crossed her arms and her jade face proudly tilted up. If she had transformed into a phoenix, her tail would probably be wagging.
Of course, as a magnanimous young lady, she wouldn’t truly hold a grudge against this guy forever.
“It was Miss Ain who found Igget back then. If it weren’t for Ain, I’m afraid this young lady would have thought you eloped with that silly girl Fei.” Verafia pouted and murmured.
Hearing the girl’s words, Igget finally realized that Ain actually knew she had become a dragon girl.
As expected, a slight smile flashed in the wood elf’s clear and crystal-clear eyes, and she then giggled softly, “Ah, I just didn’t expect Igget to wake up too. And she’s such a beautiful Dragon Girl… If others found out, how many people would snatch you away to marry, ‘Miss Dragon Girl’.”
Igget’s face burned, and she became even more embarrassed and unable to speak. Even though she knew the wood elf was joking, hearing herself praised as a beautiful Dragon Girl and then being snatched away to marry, such things were not happy to hear at all.
But suddenly, her wrist was pulled by a tender little hand, and Verafia’s small upturned snow-white face showed a displeased expression, “This young lady is still here, how can I allow people to snatch this guy away? Hmph, this is the dragon maid I’ve been looking forward to.”
As she spoke, Verafia grabbed her arms with both hands, like a willful young lady who loved her toys, and held her in her embrace with a spoiled air.
“This young lady really wants to turn me into a maid!” Igget’s recently calmed state was stirred up again.
“Sorry, I forgot Miss Verafia.” Ain said, covering her mouth and smiling. She tilted her head slightly, and her large emerald eyes suddenly turned, saying with some novelty.
“But, what will be the future for the current Verafia and ‘Miss Dragon Girl’. Will Miss Verafia be on top? But, both are girls… Right, Igget is a dragon girl, so using her tail is not impossible!”
Hearing Ain’s endlessly rambling and increasingly excited voice, Igget looked with a trembling heart, her fingers tightening, and her dragon tail unconsciously flicked.
She thought, what sort of messy things are stuffed into the little head of this once innocent and pure elven girl now. Hmm, could it be that she learned it from that dragon girl’s comic book when she was together with Fei?
Sensing the embarrassed gazes of the two girls, the wood elf’s voice gradually lowered, and she finally coughed a little sheepishly, “Right, Miss Verafia, I was supposed to wait for you in Miss Ophi’s room, but…”
“Seraris told me. And that silly dragon should not be asleep for too long.”
Verafia raised her head and said cheerfully. The scene the wood elf mentioned actually made her heart flutter a little, her delicate face flushed red, and she even had some indescribable feelings.
In order to prove that she was not a perverted girl, she thus pretended to be a carefree and lively person.
“Is that so? Then I’m relieved.”
Ain said, “Then, Verafia, why did you come here…?”
“I brought Igget to find you.”
Verafia cheerfully tilted her pretty face, and her golden eyes glanced at Beltnan’s tomb behind the wood elf. Suddenly, a soft smile lifted her young, childish face, “Yes, of course, I also want to see Great Elder Beltnan again.”
After speaking, Verafia turned and walked towards the graveyard behind her.
Hearing the girl’s words, Ain’s expression suddenly became panicked.
In her eyes, this was likely Verafia still resenting Beltnan and wanting revenge.
“Verafia, um, Miss Verafia, please wait—”
Ain hurriedly lifted her skirt and followed.
The girl’s figure paused slightly, and she turned her flawless delicate face to look at her. However, when she met the girl’s gorgeous and magnificent golden eyes, Ain was momentarily at a loss, not knowing how to speak.

Originally, I suddenly wanted to write about Veer wanting to pounce on the dragon girl Igget, and then being counter-attacked by Igget, and also being stuffed by her tail…
But after thinking about it, the plot itself is already very slow, and writing such flirty plots might make it even more dragged out. Moreover, it’s better not to break taboos with such yuri intimate plots, so let’s just gloss over it.
Maybe I’ll write a side story? (Lazy author: Possibility 0%) 2333
ps: It was the end of the month deadline rush again, but yesterday I suddenly caught a cold… Writing while feeling dizzy, it was so uncomfortable (sad)
