Miss Dragon, the BOSS, will not be captured.

Ding!

The bullet struck Estya's head precisely, but it felt like it had hit a hard steel plate, producing only a crisp sound.

The sniper couldn't believe his eyes. Through the scope, he clearly saw the bullet hit the silver-haired girl's head.

"Young Miss, it's an enemy attack! Take cover immediately!"

Ling Xue didn't have time to hesitate. From the moment she heard the gunshot, she used her body to provide cover for Esther. In her panic, she didn't even notice the deformed bullet on the ground, and even thought that the young lady was lucky and hadn't been hit by the bullet.

The students were thrown into chaos, scattering in all directions to escape. Then, gunfire erupted again, this time in rapid succession.

Da da da da...

The sniper had lost patience and began firing continuously with his semi-automatic sniper rifle. At a distance of several hundred meters, with the help of the scope and his superb shooting experience, he could easily hit the target.

call out!call out!call out!

"Young Miss, run!"

After confirming the direction from which the bullet came, Ling Xue desperately stood in front of Esther to shield her. However, she knew that flesh and blood were powerless to withstand a large-caliber sniper bullet. Even if the bullet pierced her body, the remaining power would still be enough to kill the young lady.

I didn't bring the Federation's latest energy shield with me on this hurried trip, otherwise I would never have been afraid of the threat of bullets.

Ling Xue was prepared to die, but she only heard the gunshot and did not realize that she had been shot.

Estia remained calm, showing no sign of panic. She kept one hand raised, and a magical shield protected her and Ling Xue.

Ling Xue looked at the dazzling magical light in front of her and mistook it for the Federation's energy shield, until Estia raised her other hand and cast an ice arrow in the direction the bullet was coming from.

The ice arrow, nearly half a meter long and as thick as an adult's thigh, flew towards the sniper at a speed comparable to a bullet. The sniper saw the ice arrow getting closer and closer through his scope, and then everything went black, and he said goodbye to this world forever.

After the magic was activated, the ice elemental magic had not completely dissipated, forming a faint ice mist around Estia.

Ling Xue stood frozen in place, her body still, her mouth slightly open, unable to utter a single word.

PS2: Regarding the gold coin issue, thank you everyone for pointing out the errors. This chapter makes the previous ones more reasonable.

Chapter 172, page 162: I already said she's not your young lady.

The icy air caused the surrounding temperature to drop rapidly, and Ling Xue couldn't help but take a few steps back, because her body could hardly withstand such cold air, as if she had taken off her clothes and jumped into the icy waters of the Arctic.

Seeing her strong reaction, Esther shook her head. The elemental concentration on Earth was far too high; even a casual use of magic would produce effects several times stronger than on the continent of Faya.

"Miss! What was that just now...?"

"What is it? Did you see anything?"

Estia acted as if nothing had happened, picked up the parasol from the ground, and then said to Ling Xue, "Let's go."

At this moment, she also knew that there were people in this world who harbored ill intentions towards her, or perhaps they were plotting against the true owner of this body, a girl named "Aya".

Estia didn't want to stay outside any longer. If she wanted to explore the world more efficiently, she might use other methods, such as asking the woman in front of her for information.

During the attack, the woman risked her life to protect her, showing great loyalty to "Aya," which Esther saw as a perfect opportunity to exploit.

"Young Miss, may I ask... do you know who I am?"

"Aren't you called Ling Xue?"

To Esteria's surprise, Ling Xue burst into tears of emotion after she said those words.

In this new week, the young lady has surprisingly not lost her memory!

She had strong doubts about the young lady's abilities, but now was not the time to ask.

She said seriously, "Please come with me to a safe place quickly. It's too dangerous here. There might be an attack."

"Alright, alright, I'll go with you."

Estya appeared very relaxed, as if she were really out for a walk.

Because of the shooting, everyone scattered and fled for their lives. There were no surveillance cameras in the park, so even if someone witnessed Estia casting magic, they couldn't produce any evidence.

Even if there were evidence, Esther wouldn't be afraid. Timidity wasn't in her nature. So far, none of the humans she'd seen could stand up to her. If she wanted, she could easily destroy the city.

If judged by the levels in the continent of Faya, she believed that all the humans she saw were level 1, while she was still level 400.

A world with only humans and such weak average strength, wouldn't it be too easy to be invaded?

At this moment, Ling Xue grabbed Estya's hand, preparing to lead her away from the park. Fortunately, she was wearing black gloves, otherwise she would have faced Estya's wrath.

So far, Esther has not considered this loyal woman as one of her own, not even a friend in her eyes, and naturally she is unwilling to have too much physical contact with her, let alone hold hands.

Wearing gloves would be better; it really feels a bit like obsessive-compulsive disorder to Esther, and in a sense, it's a kind of unconventional germaphobia.

Ling Xue hesitated, wondering if the enormous ice spike she had just seen was something a human could actually do.

The young lady waking up did make her happy, but at the same time, she also discovered that the young lady had become mysterious.

boom!

Another gunshot rang out, this time from under a tree not far away. It hit Estia's head, and she was sent flying again due to her transformation.

"Will this ever end?!"

Estia was really angry. Did the owner of this body destroy the world in his past life?

She ran to the tree with lightning speed, grabbed the hidden gunman, and put her hand around his neck.

The adult man was held down by Estya with one hand and had no ability to resist at all.

"Tell me, who are you?!"

"Gurgle."

Click~

With a crisp cracking sound, the gunman's neck was snapped.

"..."

Estia was shocked. Weren't the humans here far too fragile? They could die just by being strangled?

The force she used was clearly fine...

Ling Xue felt fear upon seeing this scene.

"Who...who are you? This is not something a human could do..."

Meanwhile, the sound of sirens grew louder as the sniper on the building opened fire, and someone had already called the police.

"Running away was a terrible decision."

As she complained, Estia approached Ling Xue and created an invisible barrier centered on herself, hiding herself and Ling Xue within it.

It's time to make things clear.

“I’m not the rich young lady you know; I’m just an outsider,” she said.

"What do you mean?"

"Hmph, I don't know what happened either, it seems like my soul has taken over your young lady's body."

"Possess a body? What are you talking about?"

"In short, I am not Aya, I am Esther!"

"You are Estia..."

Ling Xue had heard this name from conversations among passersby, but that was all she had heard of it.

She doesn't play "Faya Continent," doesn't understand those fantasy settings, and isn't interested in them.

However, she knew that the name Estia was the name of an NPC, after all, it was quite popular, but she had never seen what it actually looked like.

The gunman's body was still on the ground. The police had arrived. Ling Xue nervously prepared to take out her identification, but then realized that the police seemed unable to see her and Esther.

"The space we are in will not be discovered by anyone."

"How did they do that?"

"Never mind that for now, did you hear what I just said?"

"But you are clearly a young lady of high society. Your appearance, your personality, you..."

"Didn't I already say? The body is still the same body, but the soul is different."

"And what about the young lady?"

How would I know?

Seeing the expression on Ling Xue's face, Esther refrained from saying the rest of her sentence.

Based on the information obtained earlier, perhaps the soul has dissipated.

Estella suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head, and a scene flashed through her mind—

In the garden at dusk, the young girl sat on a chair, while a black-haired girl who looked very much like Ling Xue teased her with a toy and said all sorts of things to make the child happy.

Then her head started to hurt again, which made her squat down on the ground.

"What’s wrong with you!?"

Estya couldn't hear Ling Xue's cries; more memories flooded her mind.

No, that's not right. These aren't her memories, but rather the memories of Aya, the original owner of the body!

She was merely possessing Aya's body; she was a native of the continent of Faya, and she did not belong to this world!

"Huh...huh..."

Estya had never experienced possession before, so she didn't know what was going on. She could only guess that there was a conflict between the original owner's memories and her own.

She looked up at Ling Xue, her expression dazed, and suddenly called out involuntarily, "Sister Ling."

She then collapsed to the ground, and the invisibility barrier ceased to function.

Before she lost consciousness, she remained convinced that these memories did not belong to her and desperately tried to get them out of her mind.

The police noticed the two people who had suddenly appeared and quickly surrounded them: "Miss?"

They found a white-haired girl lying unconscious on the ground, while the black-haired woman standing there was also motionless, tears streaming from her eyes, as if lost in some memory.
