Miss Dragon, the BOSS, will not be captured.

"I'm going to practice now! I won't sleep tonight; after I'm familiar with the skills, I'll go into the Calamity dungeon!"

"Wait, can I come with you into the dungeon?"

Estia thought that since Ye Qingxian's profession was a dragon knight, she should naturally be able to fight alongside her dragon. "How many skills are related to dragon knights?"

"Let me see... there's only one."

Ye Qingxian quickly browsed through her skill list and found a very useful skill—

"Companion Call: Summons a contracted dragon to aid in battle. Regardless of the dragon's location, as long as the summoning invitation is accepted, the dragon will be teleported directly to the Star Crystal Dragon Knight's side for 10 minutes."

That's an incredible skill!

Ye Qingxian believed that even if Estia was summoned for 10 seconds, let alone 10 minutes, the invincible Estia could crush any enemy in front of her!

Just so confident!

"Oh? Does this mean I can be summoned into the special instance of the Star Crystal?"

Estya was worried that Ye Qingxian would fail to clear the dungeon by fighting alone, but the existence of this skill put her at ease. Ten minutes was enough for her to defeat the dungeon monsters with her own strength, after all, the dungeon level was only 100.

"I will use this skill with caution."

Ye Qingxian discovered that the cooldown time for this summoning skill was a full day, meaning that the skill could only be used once a day.

As the two were chatting happily, Chu Jinlan, who was standing nearby, decided to find something to do.

"Xiao Ai, Qing Xian, Mom can't help you much. How about this, I'll go make you dinner."

In reality, Chu Jinlan is a "housewife" who has always been in charge of cooking, and her culinary skills are excellent.

"The succubus maids will cook delicious food, so you don't need to worry about it," Esther declined Chu Jinlan's offer.

"Don't be shy, I make Chinese specialties, and I have my own unique recipes that I've figured out myself. I guarantee they'll be different from anything you've ever eaten before."

"Really……"

Upon hearing about the unique cuisine, Esther's tail automatically wagged, and she agreed to let Chu Jinlan cook in her kitchen.

Although she has always eaten the meals cooked by succubus maids, Esther's house still has a proper kitchen, but it has never been used.

She did not consider Ye Qingxian's "mother" to be an outsider, and therefore allowed her to enter her home.

"I'm going to the training field now. Remember to call me for dinner."

Having gained new power, Ye Qingxian couldn't wait to conduct experiments.

As she watched her figure disappear from sight, Esther turned to look at Chu Jinlan. For some reason, Chu Jinlan felt that the way Esther looked at her was a little strange.

"Aunt Chu, I'll come and help you in the kitchen, and I can also learn some cooking skills while I'm at it."

"Yes, I'm glad you can help."

Chu Jinlan had no idea what Esther was thinking. She followed Miss Silver Dragon and entered the house for the first time.

Click.

Estya closed the door to the room and continued to stare at Chu Jinlan with a meaningful look.

"Xiao Ai? Is something the matter?"

However, Esther didn't say anything, but just kept staring at Chu Jinlan. After only a dozen seconds, Chu Jinlan couldn't bear her gaze any longer and turned her head away.

“Aunt Chu, I have some questions I’d like to ask.” Esther broke her silence.

"What's the problem? I can tell you anything I know."

Just as Esther trusted her, Chu Jinlan also trusted Esther very much. After all, this silver dragon girl had helped her and her daughter so much in the game that she could never repay her.

"What I want to know is, are you and Ye Qingxian related by blood?"

"Of course."

"So, are you two really mother and daughter?"

"Yes, yes..."

(Why would Esther suddenly ask this question!?)

“Your husband is a beast. He got you pregnant when you were only 7 years old.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Jinlan was shocked and instinctively asked, "How do you know my real age?"

She was now in a game world, and her body was made of data, yet Estia could see her physical condition in reality.

"As expected, you are hiding a secret, and even Xiao Ye doesn't know about it."

Estya understood that Chu Jinlan was just an ordinary human, and a little pressure would make her reveal her true colors.

Now that she had already revealed it, Chu Jinlan didn't intend to hide it anymore. However, she was very puzzled: "How did you know?"

“My friend recognized her, remember? She’s the girl who lives in the Death Desert, the one in the uniform.”

"It was her... How did she figure it out?"

“It’s so easy to see with just a glance.” Esther took a few steps closer to Chu Jinlan, her words full of authority: “Because you are hiding secrets I don’t know about, I am now distrusting you again. Tell me, what exactly is your relationship with Xiaoye? Are you really her relative?”

“I am, but I am not her mother.”

"Oh?"

"Can you promise me you won't tell Xiaoye? I'm afraid she won't be able to accept it."

"rest assured."

"I am actually her older sister."

"..."

Estia remained silent. This explanation sounded reasonable. If it could be verified that Ye Qingxian and Chu Jinlan were related by blood, and considering the seven-year age gap, then the true identity should be the older sister.

But what was Chu Jinlan's purpose in concealing all this? It seems there are still many things she doesn't know...

PS: Good morning (slumped over)

Section 143, Page 136: You've gotten yourself into big trouble.

"The reasons for this are quite complicated. If you want to hear them, I can explain them to you, but I may not be able to explain them clearly."

"Then explain it to me now, whether you can understand it or not, I want to know."

"Okay, can we talk while we cook?"

"can."

Estya also wanted to experience what these so-called Chinese specialties were like.

The two went to the kitchen, and whenever Chu Jinlan needed any ingredients, Ye Qingxian would have the succubus maids deliver them.

Although the ingredients on the continent of Fasia are very different from those on Earth, meat is still meat and vegetables are still vegetables. You just need to choose similar substitutes.

But Chu Jinlan was soon dealt a blow when she discovered a fatal problem: the Netherworld Dragon Abyss lacked some traditional Chinese seasonings.

This gave her a bit of a headache, as she was unsure of the effects of the various seasonings from the Faya Continent and could only try them out slowly.

During this process, Esther stood by her side, helping her hand out ingredients and listening to her explain the ins and outs of the matter.

Chu Jinlan was right. Esther really didn't understand many of the terms related to reality, such as the federal government, virtual reality, research institute, and cognitive alteration. Even after she explained it in the simplest language she could, Esther was still completely confused.

"I really want to go and see your world, but unfortunately I can't find any way to do so..."

"Um……"

Chu Jinlan knew in her heart that there was no possibility. Perhaps the federal government could extract the AI ​​and store it as an independent entity in electronic devices, just like the various intelligent AIs in reality.

But if Estya's "body" were to travel to reality, it would be like reading a fantasy novel.

However, if technology were advanced enough to create lifelike robots, Estia's consciousness could be input into the robot's body, perhaps allowing Estia to exist in reality. However, this idea seems too far-fetched.

From the beginning of the century to the present, the development of technology on Earth has stagnated. The only technology that can be considered competitive is virtual reality. Other technologies have reached their limits and cannot be broken through. Even with super-intelligent AI, it is still impossible to create the kind of intelligent machines in science fiction novels.

This is why the federal government is spending a lot of manpower and resources to study the stardust disease on Ye Qingxian's body. If the power of stardust can be utilized, it will allow humanity to break through the limitations of energy and move towards the vast starry sky.

Chu Jinlan telling Esther about these things doesn't violate the confidentiality agreement, because the confidentiality agreement only applies to "real humans," and no one cares about the issues of NPCs in the game.

She then continued cooking, while Esther, having absolutely no cooking experience, could only watch silently from the sidelines most of the time.

"Is my cooking method different from the traditional method in the Faya Continent?" Chu Jinlan asked.

"do not know."

"do not know?"

"I have never seen anyone cook."

"..."

I never expected such an outrageous answer. Is Esther a rich girl who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth?

Considering Esther's status and the Netherworld Dragon Abyss she possesses, she can be considered not only a young lady but also a princess.

Chu Jinlan had seen Estella's CG and knew that this dragon girl also had the identity of a princess who destroyed a kingdom.

"Speaking of which—do you still have your first kiss?"

"Well."

The silver dragon girl shyly pressed her finger to her lips; the question asked by Chu Jinlan carried a different significance.

"They're gone."

"They were still here when I asked last time. I didn't expect your relationship to develop so quickly."

"There's nothing I can do, after all, I like her."

Shy as she may be, Esther wasn't so arrogant as to deny it.

"Then I wish you happiness."

"I'd like to know, when do you plan to tell Xiaoye your true identity?"

"Let's wait and see until her condition stabilizes, otherwise it will have a huge impact on her."
