Section 212, page 199: Awakened Love

Ye Qingxian was once an outsider, but is now Esther's lover. She knows some of Esther's past experiences and is clear about what Esther has gone through over the years.

She really wanted reality to be like the fictional story, giving Miss Silver Dragon a beautiful, happy ending.

If in the future Esther and Neytisa become enemies or even attack each other... No way, why make Esther experience those things again?

Ye Qingxian truly felt sorry for Esther. She would rather live an ordinary life with Esther than let Esther suffer any more pain.

"Okay, Xiao Ye, don't worry too much."

Estia comforted her lover with words, while coldly telling Neytisa, "I'm not afraid of death at all."

This statement startled Neytisa, who quickly tried to explain that she shouldn't be so agitated.

But before she could speak, Esther took a knife from the table next to her and plunged it into her heart with a thud, then stirred it a few times.

"Estella!!!"

Everything happened too fast. Ye Qingxian watched helplessly as her beloved plunged a knife into her heart; she had no time to stop him.

At this moment, red juice dripped from the corner of Esther's mouth. In a vengeful tone, she said to Netissa, "I have long been unable to endure this. You are not by my side, and now you have shown yourself to be my enemy. Why should I suffer like this? If that's the case, then let me die now."

"Estella!"

Neytisa's inner panic was evident on her face. Dragons have strong physical abilities, and even if they are hit directly in the heart, they may survive. But if Estia stirs her heart with a knife, she will shatter it. How could she possibly be saved?

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Esther smiled slightly, letting her clothes be stained with red liquid. "Do you still care about me? Is your affection for me real or fake? You've been with so many people, do you have other daughters and sons?"

Neytisa was no longer listening to Estia. Her head was buzzing, her heart seemed to have stopped, and she lunged at Estia like a madwoman, while the latter had already collapsed to the ground.

Ye Qingxian's reaction wasn't much better. She didn't know if Esther would be resurrected, and she felt like the sky had fallen. Why would Esther do something so foolish? Did she not want her anymore?

Ye Qingxian wanted to go to Estia's side, but Neytisa took Estia into her arms first, so Ye Qingxian could only watch from the side with a trembling body. However, she soon noticed something strange: why were the monster girls around her not reacting?

No, it wasn't that there was no reaction at all. You could see that quite a few monster girls were looking this way, but they were still drinking and eating, and the expressions on their faces were somewhat like... watching a show?

It was as if they knew something in advance.

Ye Qingxian glanced at the ketchup on the table in front of her and then suddenly understood everything.

Hmm, thinking about it carefully, how could something like a dinner knife possibly penetrate Estia's defenses?

The bottle of tomato juice was missing a portion, and Ye Qingxian was certain that no one else had touched the jar of tomato sauce, which meant...

Ye Qingxian clenched her fists. This scumbag dragon, he told everyone else, why didn't he tell her?

But then she realized she had wronged Esther, because there was a private message in her chat that Esther had sent, but she hadn’t noticed it because she was too engrossed in the conversation.

"Estella: I'm going to act out a suicide scene, don't panic."

"Estella!"

Tears streamed from Neytisa's eyes and fell onto Estia's cheek.

Because she was not a resident of the Faya world, the price she paid for making a deal with Ling was that her strength was restricted. She couldn't use any of her life-saving methods and could only watch helplessly as her daughter's life faded away in her arms.

"You idiot! Why are you treating yourself like this!"

Neytissa at this moment is completely different from before. After being exposed by Nedhogg, she showed an unserious personality, but now she has returned to the behavior that a mother should have.

"So you can cry for me too... I thought your feelings were just an act."

Estia never believed that her mother still loved her. After all, she had never seen her mother since birth. A thousand years had passed, and she and Netissa had never spent any time together. How could there still be any familial affection between them?

“You have always been my only daughter! It was my mistake not to come see you. Before seeing you, I did intend to completely let go of my worldly relatives, but after seeing you, I found that I couldn’t do it!”

"So this is what you really meant..."

Esther swallowed the ketchup in her mouth and threw away the knife that was "stuck" in her body. Only then could it be seen that there was no wound on her heart. As for the knife, only the handle remained; Esther had secretly broken off the tip long ago.

“This, this…” Neytissa’s eyes widened.

"Although you are very strong, Mom, when you are anxious, you don't have time to observe whether I have actually committed suicide."

Undoubtedly, Estya's sudden "suicide" caused Neytissa to lose her mind, failing to even recognize such a simplistic method of deception.

"Estella, you...you idiot."

Neytissa held her daughter tightly. Although it was a false alarm, her emotions, which had already erupted, were not so easily contained.

"Mom."

Estya called out again, but these two simple words took on a different meaning this time. Before, when she called out "Mom" and "Mother" so many times, she was simply uttering words without any emotion. Even if she did, it was a deliberate pretense.

But this "Mom" is a genuine expression of Esther's feelings. She is certain that the silver dragon woman in front of her still cares about her and will still be saddened by her death, and that is enough.

Neytisa could naturally tell the difference in the way she was addressed as "Mom." She hugged Esther, her expression complex.

She wouldn't tell Esther that her visit was a spur-of-the-moment decision made by Ling on her own initiative.

But when she saw her daughter whom she hadn't seen for a thousand years, even after spending only half a day together, the deep-rooted kinship between them completely changed Netissa's state of mind.

She thanked her daughter for allowing her to regain her love.

Ye Qingxian squatted down helplessly. She had also been startled at the time and was still a little flustered.

Estya smiled at Ye Qingxian. Actually, she had initially planned to go all the way, but she couldn't let go of that idiot Ye Qingxian.

The emotions she suppressed for a thousand years, the wounds she suffered, and the cracks in her heart are not so easily repaired.

However, feeling the affection emanating from her mother just now, her mood improved a lot, and she even felt like crying.

But she can't cry now. Everyone from Youjing Longyuan is here. If she cries, she'll really lose her authority.

Section 214, page 200: Quiet Departure

Neytisa gazed at the laughing monster girls before her. At this moment, it was like a king's gathering, with Estia as the king and the monster girls as his lords.

It's possible to consider the Netherworld Dragon Abyss as a kingdom, but it would no longer be a kingdom of dragons, but rather a kingdom of demons.

Estya was happier than ever today, at least on the surface. The news that her family was still alive was good news for her, but the fact that they hadn't come to see her for so many years made her feel very uncomfortable.

The beautiful time passed quickly, and soon it was time to leave. Esther's body swayed and finally collapsed into Ye Qingxian's arms.

She drank alcohol, and a lot of it.

It's no secret that Esther has a low alcohol tolerance, but tonight no one could stop her. The enormous amount of alcohol she drank even made her belly bulge, making her look like she was pregnant.

“Estella…”

Ye Qingxian wanted to find a way to help Estya sober up. Perhaps all these monster girls had some way to help her sober up, but Netissa stopped Ye Qingxian.

"Don't let her sober up."

"Huh?"

"This child got drunk on purpose."

After spending less than half a day together, Neytisa figured out what kind of person her daughter was. Her personality was very similar to her own, proud yet stubborn, and she found it difficult to express her thoughts.

Estia deliberately got drunk because she didn't want to bear the sadness of parting, and Neytisa felt the same way.

Before visiting Esther this time, she believed that her daughter had no emotional connection with her other than blood ties, and that even if she knew about her daughter's death, she would probably just say "oh".

But imagination is just imagination. When Neytisa finally saw her daughter, she really wanted to hold her in her arms and comfort her. The bond between mother and daughter was rekindled and would never be severed again.

Neytissa's eyes were a little wet, and she blinked quickly to avoid letting others see her lapse in composure.

She was so glad she came to see her daughter, otherwise she would have regretted it for the rest of her life.

"Aunt Neytissa..."

"Xiao Ye, right? After I leave, you must take good care of Esther."

Neytisa smiled kindly at Ye Qingxian, then came to Estia and gently stroked Estia's hair.

"I will take good care of her, but I have a request..."

"What request?"

"If you have time in the future, could you visit Estia again? She is really lonely... The emptiness in her family is not something I can easily fill."

Neytisa paused for a moment, then nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I will always love my daughter."

She gently stroked Estia's silver hair with her hand, then used magic to lightly cut off a few strands.

The loss of a few strands of hair had no effect on Estia. Neytisa rolled up the hair and then took out a small box and put it away.

Ye Qingxian, standing to the side, felt a pang of sadness. No matter how you looked at it, she could conclude that Neytisa and Esther would be separated for a long time.

Otherwise, why would they take their daughter's hair...?

She suddenly realized that Estia was a dragon, and Neytisa was also a dragon, and their concept of time could not be calculated according to human concepts.

In other words, it's very possible that Neytisa won't return to visit Estia for several decades or even centuries.

The silver dragon girl in her arms was fast asleep. Ye Qingxian was in a bad mood. She didn't know what Netissa was doing. Even if she asked, Netissa wouldn't tell her. However, she couldn't help but say, "You should be able to tell that Estia doesn't seem too excited on the surface, but she is actually very reluctant to part with him."

“I know that.”

"Come back and visit more often in the future... Family is the most important person in the world."

"Estella, don't you still have me?"

"Me?" Ye Qingxian said with a wry smile, "I'm not even sure how much longer I can stay with Esther."

"What do you mean?"

Neytissa's gaze sharpened instantly.

"I have an incurable disease and can only stay alive for now..."

"Star psoriasis?"
