Miss Dragon, the BOSS, will not be captured.

What exactly is Norm doing? How could his body undergo such changes?

Ye Qingxian knew she wouldn't get any sleep tonight; she had to get to the bottom of this.

Section 249 Group: 10②00③7⑨9② 235 Silver Dragon Summoning Beast!

Norm hurriedly put on his clothes, trying to cover up the crystals that had suddenly appeared on his body, but unfortunately, Ye Qingxian had already discovered them.

She didn't know how to explain for a moment, stood there with her mouth open, but ultimately said nothing.

At this moment, Ye Qingxian's heart was filled with complex emotions. She did not believe that there could be such a coincidence in the world that she would meet "Mo Ran" who looked exactly like someone from Earth on the continent of Faya.

Combined with the sudden disappearance of Ling Xue and Mo Ran, and Estya's obvious sense of loss, Ye Qingxian guessed something.

Although she had only met Mo Ran once, it did not diminish her sympathy for him. Of course, there was also another woman named Ling Xue.

"Norm?"

Ye Qingxian called her name softly. The woman in front of her had an appearance that was significantly different from the other villagers in Ice Lake Village. This was normal, because compared to the Northerners with their standard Scandinavian features, Norm had the appearance of a completely Chinese person.

That's probably why she wears a mask all the time—she doesn't want to attract strange looks from those around her.

As for what Noan said—that anyone who sees Nom's eyes will be petrified—it can now be confirmed that Noan said this on purpose to protect his sister's secret.

As a player and a person from Earth, Ye Qingxian was very familiar with the NPC project based on the virtual reality system, because it was an open policy that any Earthling who died would be considered to have voluntarily contributed his appearance and personality to become an NPC on the continent of Faya, unless his family refused.

The federal government's original intention was to offer solace to the families of the deceased, allowing them to live on forever, rather than leaving behind only a tombstone, some photos, and videos.

However, once the deceased becomes an NPC, they won't retain their memories as a human... That's how it should be...

However, Ye Qingxian also knew that the continent of Faya was not a game world at all. Although this world contained various data, her lover, Estheria, had demonstrated the power of the dragon race on Earth!

Now that she has met Mo Ran in the Northern Territory and confirmed that he does not recognize her, Ye Qingxian can only conclude that the real Mo Ran is already dead.

And Sister Ling Xue, I guess...

What exactly happened that day? Was Esther not telling herself because she was afraid of making herself suffer?

Ye Qingxian believes she has grown up. She is no longer the casual player who hated fighting and only liked playing music and traveling. Now she is working hard to become stronger and improve herself. She shouldn't always be protected by Esther. Her mental strength is not as bad as people think.

"Miss Ye? I'm so sorry, you saw something you shouldn't have seen..."

Norm could no longer get away with pretending to be stupid. She could only listen to Ye Qingxian's words with trembling hands. After all, in her eyes, Ye Qingxian was a strong person, strong enough to kill her with a single finger.

"What are you doing here? What's with those crystals on your body?"

While asking questions, Ye Qingxian continued to monitor Norm's condition using her reconnaissance skills.

"Cataclysmic transformation (progress 10%)"

Ye Qingxian went to the Star Crystal Hunter Guild this time not only to seek ways to improve her strength, but also to learn more about information related to the Calamity Star.

She doesn't know what it's like to become a jinx right now, but she knows it's not a good thing if she thinks about it for a moment.

Norm knew he couldn't hide it any longer, so he could only tell Ye Qingxian about his obsession with becoming stronger, and at the same time take out the now-tarnished crystal necklace.

"You...accepting unknown powers is an extremely dangerous thing."

"But I want to become stronger! I'm not an ordinary villager anymore!"

Norm originally had no profession, or rather, her profession was just an ordinary village girl. Although she could use muskets and melee weapons to hunt in the wild, she had no profession attribute bonuses, nor any profession-specific skills.

Even ordinary soldiers in human kingdoms possess some professional skills, but as a village girl, Norm has nothing.

In other words, even 10 Gnomes probably couldn't defeat a regular soldier of the same rank; that's just how the profession is determined.

"Cataclysmic transformation (progress 11%)"

Norm himself could see the progress: "Look, once this progress bar finishes, I'll have even greater power!"

"..."

Ye Qingxian hadn't forgotten her profession: Star Crystal Dragon Knight. Remove the dragon part, and what's left is Star Crystal Hunter.

Star Crystal Hunters are beings that specialize in hunting down jinxes, so...

"Idiot, there's no need for that. I'll help you drive away those otherworldly adventurers tomorrow."

"No, Miss Ye, you can't stay in the village forever. After you leave, they will definitely come back and even retaliate against us more severely."

"..."

Ye Qingxian fell silent. Norm's words reminded her that she had never considered this matter before.

She was too straightforward and didn't consider what the future might hold.

Yes, she can't act as Ice Lake Village's protector forever. Once she leaves Ice Lake Village, it's hard to say whether those players will vent their hatred on the villagers.

However, Norm's actions were too impulsive. Although the necklace had always been with Norm, it looked like a ticking time bomb.

"Ugh!"

Norm suddenly cried out in pain, then coughed up a mouthful of black blood, and crystals began to form on her cheeks.

This is obviously not a good thing!

Ye Qingxian was extremely anxious. She couldn't let the situation continue to worsen. She thought of asking the Disaster Hunter Guild for help, since the people there should know a lot about Disasters. However, the problem was that the guild was quite a distance away, and she estimated that there wouldn't be enough time.

In a moment of desperation, Ye Qingxian thought of Esther and quickly sent her a message.

Ye Qingxian: Xiao Ai! Emergency! Are you available to be summoned now? I need you to help me deliver someone.

"Estella: Okay"

I wonder if Miss Silver Dragon has been keeping an eye on my friend list the whole time, because she not only replies instantly, but also answers cleanly and concisely.

Ye Qingxian didn't waste any time and directly used her unique partner summoning skill as a Star Crystal Dragon Knight to summon Estia directly from the distant Netherworld Dragon Abyss.

The northern winds and snow immediately blew onto Estia.

"Yay! I love snow the most."

Estia looked at Ye Qingxian, then glanced to her side, a look of surprise on her face.

"Sister Ranran?" she blurted out.

"Why are you calling me Sister Ranran too? Who exactly is Sister Ranran?"

Mo Ran was not in good condition; the bloodstains at the corner of her mouth had not been wiped clean, and she was feeling unwell.

But she quickly forgot about all that, because she discovered that the girl summoned by Ye Qingxian seemed to be... not human.

Section 250, Chapter 236: My First Time Riding a Dragon!

The silver dragon girl loved snow. When she was summoned, her tail instinctively drooped to the snow and she gently poked at the snow with the tip of her tail.

But the current situation made her uneasy.

Estia was deeply shocked because she saw Moran; Norm was also deeply shocked because he saw inhuman races.

Estia has horns on her head and a tail covered with sparkling dragon scales. She is missing a pair of wings that belong to the dragon race, because she has temporarily hidden them to avoid discomfort when she sleeps.

However, Norm lived in the isolated North, so she did not recognize Estia's race.

"May I ask who you are?"

"This is my summoned beast!" Ye Qingxian had just finished speaking when Estya flicked her head.

"What urgent matter do you need me for? Also, don't be too cheeky."

"I'm not being naughty anymore."

Ye Qingxian was so immersed in the joy of seeing Estia that she almost forgot about Norm.

She shared the location of the Calamity Hunters Guild with Estia, an act that clearly violated her previous agreement with Yunia, but the situation was urgent and Ye Qingxian couldn't care less about that.

"Xiao Ai, with your ability to fly, you should be able to get us to the Catastrophe Hunter Guild in ten minutes, right?"

"Ten minutes is not enough. Even if I fly at the fastest speed, it will take at least 15 minutes."

"This……"

Ye Qingxian didn't know what to do. Should she have Esther escort her a short distance first, and then walk the rest of the way?

But would it be enough time?

"Silly Xiao Ye, why does it have to be 10 minutes?"

"Because you'll be teleported back in 10 minutes."

"Who said that?"

"Uh?"

Ye Qingxian suddenly realized that this wasn't the Calamity Star instance. Summoning Estia in the Calamity Star instance had a time limit, but outside...

"As long as I don't agree to go back after the time is up, I will stay by your side."

"Really!?"

This was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise for Ye Qingxian; she hadn't expected such a thing to happen.

"Of course it's true. I'm not a spirit or elemental being from another dimension."

"That's great! Let's hurry to the Catastrophe Hunter Guild!"

At this time, the process of Gnom's transformation into a calamity was still growing. Fortunately, with Estella's presence, it should be enough to reach the guild before the transformation was completed.

Ye Qingxian decided to explain to Esther on the way; for now, getting on the road was the priority.

"Wait, Xiao Ye, have you forgotten that I strongly resist letting others have their way?"

Estia said she was very resistant, but in reality it was completely impossible. Dragons would not allow other races to ride them casually, unless that person was her lover.

"Ride, ride what? Why do you want me to ride this silver-haired lady?"

Norm couldn't understand what Ye Qingxian was saying.

Estia thought for a moment and took out a useful item from the bow on her tail—Harpy's feather.

This was plucked from the Harpy Mother in the Netherworld Dragon Abyss. As flying creatures, Harpies' feathers possess magic that enables them to fly.
