Miss Dragon, the BOSS, will not be captured.

You could tell from Estia's expression that she barely understood anything.

However, her memory was exceptional, and she remembered those words so that she could savor them later.

Estia's composure was entirely due to her high mental fortitude as the Lord of the Netherworld. In just a few words, Ling had told her that the continent of Faya was not a virtual world, and that she actually had a past life on Earth.

Aya... Estia... even the pronunciation of their names is very similar.

Was this her destiny? An extraordinary past, present, and future.

Estia wasn't stupid. She could tell from the frequent visits of the World AI that she must be carrying some kind of destiny, otherwise she wouldn't have attracted so much attention from the World AI.

The real and virtual worlds, two bodies sharing the same soul, soul travel—these were things that the former Esther could never have imagined.

So, what are Ling's plans next, or what suggestions do you have?

"You need to complete the task I gave you as soon as possible."

"The quest reward is the one that reveals the truth behind the destruction of the Dragon Kingdom?"

"No, it's the reward that made you a demigod."

"..."

(If that's the case, then don't make it so difficult!)

Despite her complaints, Esther didn't dare to say them out loud.

This ridiculously difficult quest requires half of the residents of Faya and human players to develop a favorable impression of her. The difficulty is off the charts. The continent of Faya has more than just humans as a race. This quest requires all intelligent races... tsk.

When the mission is completed, demigods will probably be trash in her eyes. After all, she can command half the races of the continent with a single call. At that time, she can easily create a Dragon Cult, and the faith power it provides will probably make her a god directly.

Section 177, Chapter 167: The Uneasy Esteya

"I have a question: if the truth is that my soul switches between the bodies of Esther and Aya, then where does Aya's power on Earth come from?"

According to the information we have so far, Earthlings do not use magic and there is only one race, humans. However, Estia clearly used magic on Earth using Aya's body and has the physical characteristics of a dragon.

"It's still because of the jinx; that kind of power can make your body break the limitations between worlds."

"Another jinx?"

Estia finally understood: anything she didn't understand could be attributed to a jinx.

What exactly is the origin of this jinx? The jinx is what caused her to travel to other worlds, and it is also the jinx that caused Ye Qingxian to develop styes.

"I will tell you more information about the calamity later, but not now."

"why?"

"Because it's pointless, you should digest all the information I'm about to say first."

"I understand, but I have another question."

"anymore question?"

"How come you've turned back into an eight-year-old girl?"

"Huh? Of course it's because I like it this way, what's it to you?"

A youthful appearance can lower the other person's guard and make it easier to gain their favor, according to Ling's experimental results.

Moreover, Estia has absolutely no right to call her childish, because although this silver dragon girl maintains the appearance of a young girl, the personality she displays is completely different from that of a thousand years ago, and she is not much more mature.

Indeed, a comfortable life can change many things. Ling will never forget the silver dragon that shook the continent of Faya in its quest for revenge.

However, this is quite good. The continent of Faya is very peaceful for the time being, and there will be no catastrophe of apocalyptic magnitude. There is no need for Estheria to become nervous.

"It's time to say goodbye, I have things to do."

"Play video games?" Esther blurted out.

"What do you mean, playing games? Do you think I'm just a lazy bum who only likes to eat, drink, and have fun?"

"Yes."

"..."

Ling didn't stoop to Estya's level; her body slowly became transparent and then disappeared from the spot.

Estia's smile faded, and her expression gradually turned serious.

There is still a long time ahead.

After confirming that Ling had left, Esther returned to the bedroom and lay down next to Ye Qingxian, staring at her. Esther had originally planned to spend a long and happy time with Ye Qingxian, but the things that had happened to her in the past few days were destined to make her future anything but ordinary.

Should she continue to maintain her lazy, fat dragon persona?

As a powerful being, Esther is not as simple as she appears on the surface. When necessary, she can be ruthless and merciless, and even do many unexpected things. She never uses the word "kind" to describe herself; "evil dragon" is the title she truly prefers.

However, after wearing the mask for so long, she herself has become the appearance corresponding to the mask, but she can still switch back to the mask if she wants.

She would carefully consider what Ling said, but at this moment, a very important matter weighed on Estya's mind—who exactly was her enemy?

Without a doubt, almost all the powerful figures on the Faya Continent know each other, and there are currently no enemies who can threaten Estya's existence. What truly worries her is Earth. It is certainly a good thing to know that the Faya Continent is not a virtual world, but there is one thing that cannot be ignored: if Ye Qingxian dies on Earth, she will not be resurrected like she is on the Faya Continent.

Ye Qingxian was already struggling with her illness, but she never expected to have to face assassins from who-knows-where. Not only her, but even Esther's identity in that world was a target for assassination.

Estya believed this was the most valuable piece of information Ling had provided. She couldn't understand the other information for the time being, but this information was very simple and easy to understand.

Since Ye Qingxian came to the continent of Faya through virtual reality equipment, the only way to truly protect her is to go to the real world.

"Xiao Ye, are you getting up?"

Estya gently nudged Ye Qingxian and found that she was still sleeping soundly, so she lay down on the bed and prepared to continue sleeping as well.

The enhanced state of that jinx still exists, meaning that as long as she sleeps, her soul can reach another body in another world.

Estya still had a sliver of hope in her heart. Her parents, who were the ones in this body on the continent of Faya, had passed away, but on Earth, as Aya, would her parents still be alive?

Her greed is insatiable. After receiving love from Ye Qingxian, she also began to want to find the family affection she had never experienced before.

Lying in bed, Esther deliberately hugged Ye Qingxian, feeling her lover's warm body temperature, which helped her fall asleep more quickly.

Like a dream, when she opened her eyes again, Esther had arrived on Earth.

What did she see?

She saw Ling sitting on the sofa, holding a controller and staring at the TV screen, playing a game.

Didn't you say you weren't going to play video games?

"who!?"

The sudden noise made Ling fall off the sofa. Seeing Estia, she exclaimed in shock, "How did you wake up?!"

"I took a nap and thought I'd come and see Earth."

"Uh……"

Ling instantly threw the controller in her hand away, and the TV screen was also turned off. At this moment, she rubbed her hands awkwardly, like a child who had been caught doing something naughty.

"Where am I? How did I get here?"

Estella observed her surroundings and found them to be extremely sci-fi, even more so than the previous research institute.

"Also, aren't you an AI? You have a body too?"

Without any hesitation, Esther immediately used her magic to examine Ling's body. The result shocked her greatly. The body in front of her was unlike any race she had ever seen. Although it looked the same as a human on the surface, there was an indescribable sense of incongruity about it.

"Alright, alright, don't worry about the details. The Netherworld Dragon Abyss dungeon is now open, and a lot of players will be preparing new strategies."

"I know, I've already made arrangements in advance."

Estia was determined to stay on Earth, so no matter what Ling said, she didn't want to return to the continent of Faya for the time being.

"So what do you want to do? This is the deep sea, there's nothing you can do here."

"Send me back to the ground, I need to find Xiao Ye."

"Xiao Ye is accessing the world of Faya through virtual reality equipment."

"Just let her out, right? Don't tell me you can't even do that."

"Ugh."

Ling scratched her head in annoyance. Although she had originally wanted to bring Ye Qingxian over, wasn't Esther too impatient?

But she soon realized that Esther was probably worried about Ye Qingxian's safety.

"I can send you to the surface, but you must promise me that you won't use magic carelessly, or it will cause a great disturbance in this world."

"no problem."

Even without magic, Estia can silence all her enemies with her fists.

Section 178, Chapter 168: A Mischievous Touch

On the way back to the surface, Ling introduced more modern and science fiction knowledge to Esther in the submersible. Esther was confused by what she heard, but Ling believed that with repeated exposure to this knowledge, even the most stupid person would eventually understand it.

"When you meet Ye Qingxian, you must learn from her, understand?"

"What can she teach me?"

"Reading and writing."

Upon hearing Ling's words, Esther's face instantly turned red.

She was almost illiterate, but thanks to the system's assistance on the continent of Faya, she didn't spend any time learning to read and write.

The submersible surfaced. It was daytime, and some beaches were crowded with tourists. To avoid being discovered by humans, Ling chose a secluded spot to go ashore.

"You'll walk the rest of the way yourself. Use invisibility magic and fly there. You won't go wrong, will you?"

"No, don't worry."

There is no one in this world who can detect magic, and Esther really feels like she's entered a beginner's village.

Dragon wings unfurled from her back, and with the aid of invisibility magic, she arrived above the entire city, heading towards the Federal Research Institute following Ling's directions.

After a few minutes of flight, she arrived at her destination and swaggered past the guards, preparing to find Ye Qingxian's bedroom.
