Estya spoke to herself, gently stroking the tombstone in front of her.

Ye Qingxian felt conflicted. She was affected by Esther's current emotions, but also felt something was off. Didn't Esther say that she was also a player? Now, were these two tombstones for "Esteya's" parents or "Aiya's" parents?

It's obviously the former... I guess Aya got too caught up in the role? She accepted the character of the Silver Dragon Princess Esther?

After learning that Esther's "true identity" was a player, Ye Qingxian found that her initial feelings of being moved had diminished considerably, perhaps because she knew that everything was virtual.

The silver dragon girl stroked the tombstone, her thoughts drifting back to a long, long time ago. Unfortunately, she never saw what her biological parents looked like. After the destruction of the dragon kingdom, all kinds of statues were also destroyed, so their appearance in Esther's mind was all imagined.

The clouds obscured the moon, and everything around became pitch black. Estella blinked and suddenly saw a glint of light on the muddy ground in front of the tombstone, where a small silver flower was sprouting from the soil.

She stared wide-eyed. She felt no fluctuations of magic, and nothing seemed to affect the blooming of the flowers.

puff~

A silver flower appeared before Estia. She reached out her trembling fingers to the flower, and the instant she touched it, a dragon couple appeared before her.

Estia was hallucinating. The silver dragon couple appearing before her felt incredibly familiar to her, and most importantly, she remembered their faces.

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but found that she couldn't utter a single word. She could only stare blankly as they walked towards her.

“My child…we have left you a spark, go…go and light it.”

What does it mean?

Estya was somewhat dazed until Ye Qingxian nudged her, bringing her back to her senses.

The tombstone in front of me is gone...

Section 197, page 185: Where did the tail come from?

What exactly does "fire seed" mean?

Esther just had a sudden urge to bring Ye Qingxian to meet her parents, hoping that if her parents were watching from heaven, they would be very gratified to see her happy now.

However, the strange occurrence at the tombstone, while startling Estia, quickly aroused her endless thirst for knowledge.

What exactly does "fire" mean? Could it refer to the box my mother left behind? But I can't open it...

Estella only knew that research related to asteroides might open the box, but there had been no progress so far.

"Estella? What happened just now?"

From Ye Qingxian's perspective, she could only see Esther standing there in a daze for a long time. She assumed that Esther was lost in memories of the past, so she did not disturb her.

"I'm fine...it's just the tombstone..."

Estia blinked and found that the tombstone had reappeared in its original place; everything she had just seen seemed to be an illusion.

Without hesitation, Ye Qingxian knelt before the tombstone just like Estya and said, "I have decided to be with Estya forever, and I hope to receive your blessings."

"Xiao Ye..."

"Ah, I'm logging off now," Ye Qingxian said unexpectedly.

"Log off? Now?"

"Hmm... it's an external notification, I don't know why."

"Then you can log off."

"Why don't you come along too?"

Ye Qingxian still believes that the girl named Aya is a player in the real world, and that she also lives in the Federal Medical Research Institute.

Estia glanced at her current state. She only had a few hours left of the time travel ability granted by the calamity star. Since that was the case, she might as well go to Earth.

By the way, she should reveal her true identity to Ye Qingxian on Earth. She'll start to feel guilty if she keeps lying to this silly girl.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Estya watched Ye Qingxian disappear in a flash of white light, then went back to her bed at home and lay down. Based on her previous experience, she knew that as long as she fell asleep, her soul could travel to her body on Earth.

As for Ye Qingxian, after disconnecting from the game, she found her room crowded with doctors in white coats.

"Ms. Ye, we've noticed an improvement in your condition. Do you have any particular symptoms or symptoms?"

"No……"

Ye Qingxian shook her head in confusion.

A doctor with bloodshot eyes took out a tablet that recorded Ye Qingxian's current physical data. At this moment, Ye Qingxian's estimated lifespan had changed from single digits to double digits.

They had been trying every possible way to provide treatment for Ye Qingxian, but they had not been able to overcome the medical difficulties. Unexpectedly, Ye Qingxian's body suddenly improved on its own, a change that left them completely baffled.

Have you ever had a special experience in the virtual reality world?

Eventually, a doctor began to suspect something, and Ye Qingxian felt a surge of tension. She shook her head, feigning composure, and said, "No, I was just having a normal day trip."

Fortunately, the permissions in the virtual reality world were all handled by AI, and the federal government personnel did not have the right to see what she did in the game.

Ye Qingxian did not intend to reveal the matter of the Star Crystal. It was better to keep such a secret to herself for the time being, unless the federal government could gain her complete trust.

Glug glug~

Ye Qingxian's stomach began to rumble. When connected to the virtual reality device, her body was maintained through nutrient solution, but the nutrient solution was always kept at the minimum level, so she would feel hungry soon after waking up.

The doctors couldn't let Ye Qingxian leave easily yet. They held notebooks, asking Ye Qingxian questions and taking notes. It took them more than half an hour to finally finish questioning her and leave the room.

"You are free to move around now, but please do not wander off. If you have any questions, you can ask the staff you see."

"Thank you all, you've all worked hard."

Ye Qingxian saw them off very politely. Regardless of the federal government's motives, these doctors were genuinely treating her, and their dark circles and bloodshot eyes showed the intensity of their daily work.

Previously, based on the conclusions given by the medical equipment, she only had one week to live. Now, her life has suddenly been extended by more than a week. How could the doctors not be excited?

That's probably why they woke themselves up from the virtual reality world...

Ye Qingxian rubbed her stomach and decided to have a hearty meal at the cafeteria first, and then go find Esther... no, Aya.

Coincidentally, Estia was also eating in the cafeteria at that moment. Her table was piled high with plates, and she was quickly devouring all kinds of food, yet her stomach remained flat.

Ye Qingxian was shocked by the silver-haired girl's terrifying appetite. She slowly walked over and tried to greet her.

"Estella?"

Hearing Ye Qingxian's somewhat uncertain tone, Esther smiled at her and immediately said, "Darling!"

"Ugh!"

Ye Qingxian was immediately at a loss. She hurriedly ran to Esther and made a shushing gesture to her: "Shh... don't let anyone hear."

"Can't I even say you're my lover?" (Very loudly)

Estya's voice attracted the attention of some people in the cafeteria, including cafeteria staff and researchers on shift. They all focused their attention on Ye Qingxian and Estya.

They all knew Ye Qingxian, and they also knew the true identity of the white-haired girl who had just transferred in. After hearing who Aya's parents were, all the researchers looked at Asteria with a hint of awe.

Ye Qingxian sat in the chair opposite Esther, her cheeks flushed red. It was true that she and Esther loved each other, but to publicly display their love in front of so many people... still made her a little shy.

She sat up straight in the chair, thinking that she was often overshadowed by Astrea in the game, and she couldn't continue to be overshadowed in real life, could she?

In reality, Estella doesn't have a tail, which means there's no weakness that could render her powerless.

However, the real-life Estia is not that powerful; she is just an ordinary human. Even so, Ye Qingxian still cannot defeat Estia. Having been frail and sickly since childhood, her physical condition is far below that of a normal person.

In the real world, Ye Qingxian's biggest concern is why Esther ended up here. She hopes fate won't play tricks on her; what if it gives Esther a terminal illness or something...?

Suddenly, something cold and slippery brushed against her leg, making her feel very itchy.

Puzzled, she looked under the table and saw a tail covered in silver scales!

The silver-haired girl in front of him was turned to the side, a smile playing on her lips, teasing Ye Qingxian's thigh with her tail.

Chapter 198, Page 186: The First Kiss Actually Happened Twice

Ye Qingxian couldn't believe her eyes. She looked up at Esther, then looked down at the table and found that the tail was gone.

Phew, is it just a hallucination?

Just as Ye Qingxian was about to accept this idea, Esther teased her again with the tip of her tail, this time going even further by directly rubbing against the soft flesh of Ye Qingxian's thigh.

"Alas!"

The tickling sensation on her thigh made Ye Qingxian cry out. Estya, sitting opposite her, laughed happily. Ye Qingxian pouted, pretending to relax her guard. When Estya's tail came again, she suddenly grabbed it with her hand.

"Woo~"

This time it was Estia's turn to call out.

"Is that interesting?"

Ye Qingxian deliberately placed her hand on the soft flesh of Estya's tail and kneaded it. This action easily deprived Estya of her ability to resist.

Dragons only react this way when their tails are touched by someone they like. Therefore, Ye Qingxian doesn't need to ask; just touching her tail is enough to know how deep Esther's love for her is.

But this is reality, so where did this tail come from?

"Where did you get your tail? Is it some kind of high-tech product?"

Ye Qingxian still did not doubt Esther's race. Combining Esther's status as a young lady, she believed that it must be a realistic dragon tail designed in reality at great expense.

Estia really has a special fondness for dragons.

"This is a genuine tail."

"That's a lie, nobody is born with a tail."

"Then take a look at this and see what it is?"

Estia held out her hand to Ye Qingxian, and a flash of icy blue aura appeared in her palm, followed by a pure white ice flower radiating coldness.

Ye Qingxian was dumbfounded. She couldn't help but pinch her thigh and then tried to call the system, but all the feedback told her that she was in the real world.

She was forced to accept an unbelievable truth: Esther was not human...

"Didn't you say your name was Aya...?"

Estia didn't answer Ye Qingxian's question. Instead, she stood up from her seat and leaned her head in front of Ye Qingxian: "We haven't kissed yet on Earth, which means I can steal your first kiss again."
