Chapter 115: Flirting Time
After truly carrying the water spirit Undine, Ophi’s identity was no longer limited to her former Dragon Clan status. Similar to Niya, she was now an incarnation of an ancient elemental spirit.
However, compared to when she first awoke from the water spirit’s memories, Ophi now portrayed herself as the Ice Dragon Girl from before. This was likely, as Seraphis had once said, because she was more accustomed to her previous identity.
In the eyes of ordinary people, perhaps Ophi didn’t seem too different from her past self.
However, Ig, who possessed the True Sight Eye, could naturally see that Ophi was no longer simply the kind-hearted and airheaded good dragon she once was. A sense of detachment from worldly affairs, pure and untainted like pure water, lingered around her.
This was naturally the influence of the water spirit Undine.
Ig had been somewhat worried about this point, but Seraphis and Verafia had both assured him that it wouldn’t have a significant impact. Hearing their promises, he couldn’t help but feel slightly relieved.
“But, in just a few days, Little Fei has already reached the Sacred Domain…”
Having shed her former Ice Dragon bloodline, Ophi had, in essence, been reborn.
Ig had anticipated that Ophi’s strength would advance by leaps and bounds after her rebirth, but to see her jump from having no demonic power at all to the Sacred Domain in just a few days made Ig’s eyes twitch, and he couldn’t help but click his tongue.
Was the water spirit Undine truly that terrifying?
After all, Verafia, who had absorbed half of the Creation Divine Spark and an immeasurable amount of life spring water, was only at the Star level when she first hatched, and was still a phoenix chick that couldn’t even grow its feathers.
“Master, it’s not just the water spirit. Miss Ophi has also absorbed the origin of the God of Ice,” Rufina transmitted to him, explaining.
Ig suddenly realized, and immediately smiled, extending his hand to rub the girl’s ice-blue head. “It took me so long to catch up with Little Fei, and now I’ve fallen behind again.”
“Hehehe, it’s okay even if Ig is a little weaker.”
The Ice Dragon Girl stuck out her tongue and clenched her fist gently. “No matter what, I will protect Ig and Veer.”
Ig smiled, but the golden-haired young lady beside him crossed her arms unhappily, pursed her delicate lips, and let out a soft snort from her exquisite nose.
“A mere Sacred Domain? I’ve seen plenty of those. It’s nothing to this young lady, why would you need to protect me?”
Ophi was already very familiar with the golden-haired girl’s tsundere nature and didn’t retort. She fiddled with her frost-blue hair, and a charmingly naive smile spread across her exquisitely beautiful little face.
“Oh right, Young Lady. Did you bring Little Fei here?”
Ig turned his head to look at the girl.
Today, Verafia was wearing a Lolita-style white evening gown. The luxurious silk, lace, and ribbon trimmings made it even more magnificent.
“Hmph, besides this young lady, who else could it be?” Verafia lightly tilted her head and said playfully.
Her golden silk hair, sparkling and curly like dawn light, was simply tied up and cascaded down with her movements. Her dense, exquisite eyelashes parted over her gorgeous golden eyes. Her jade feet, clad in exquisite lace stockings, were perched on crystal high heels, swaying playfully.
The girl’s appearance, beyond her exquisite and magnificent facade, exuded a rather cute and lazy style.
She suddenly rolled her big golden eyes, a bright smile curving on her exquisite jade face, and then pouted, looking displeased.
“Ah, I just told Little Fei that she could borrow Ig, who was still a dragon girl, to play with. You guy, you changed back so quickly.”
Ophi raised her head in surprise. She remembered that she had indeed joked and pouted at Verafia, but when had this stingy woman agreed to it?
Ig was also speechless for a moment.
This girl was getting more and more audacious, hovering on the edge of seeking death… This made Ig recall classic lines from some domineering noble novels.
She was his girlfriend, but why would she offer her man to her best friend? Moreover, at that time, he was still a dragon girl.
Thinking of this, Ig suddenly recalled that when he was a dragon girl, this girl always seemed very interested in teasing him. Was she trying to get revenge for being teased usually?
Well, as for being dragged by this young lady every day to learn etiquette, go shopping, and even being forced to dress as a maid – Ig even remembered that she had once pounced on him, trying to push him down.
Of course, Ig didn’t suffer in the end. He easily reversed the situation and stuffed her tail into her mouth… almost making Verafia cry from injustice.
Was this inspired by Ain?
Thinking of amusing things, Ig’s lips couldn’t help but curl into a slight smile.
“Hey, why are you reacting like that?”
Verafia, sitting beside him, became unhappy and grumbled when she saw that Ig wasn’t showing any expression she could laugh at.
Seeing the girl’s displeased little face, Ig suddenly had another amusing thought.
If he really acted as the young lady suggested and threw himself into Little Fei’s arms, would this girl cry from anger?
Of course, such a thought only flashed through his mind before Ig rejected it.
“Can such precious things as emotions be used for jokes? Especially for the sensitive Veer. Even if she knew I was joking, if she really got angry, I’m afraid I’d regret it to death then?”
Ig recalled that back in Lichen, due to his affection for Princess Misella and his delusion of indulging the girl, he had almost made a mistake that would have caused him a lifetime of regret.
He shook his head slightly and couldn’t help but curse himself a few times for having such inappropriate thoughts.
“Moreover, Verafia is the girl I cherish and have sworn to protect. How can I hurt her with such words?”
“Ig, what are you thinking about?”
The girl’s soft and tender voice reached his ears. Ig looked up, and the girl was gazing at him with wide eyes, her arms supporting her fair and smooth legs, her hands crossed under her chin, looking like a curious baby.
“Nothing.”
Ig smiled. “I was just thinking how beautiful Veer looks today.”
“Hmph, you don’t need to tell me that?”
Verafia suddenly lifted her head with a cute and proud expression. Ig could vaguely see that the edges of her delicate, jade-like white ears were faintly tinged with a charming blush, similar to the delicate color of her cheeks.
She quickly lowered her face again, feigning indifference, and said haughtily, “However, there’s one thing Ig didn’t say correctly. This young lady is beautiful every day.”
