Miss Dragon, the BOSS, will not be captured.

The straightforward Miss Silver Dragon hates riddle-makers the most: "Alright, it's too much trouble talking to you, I won't ask anymore."

She saw that Ye Qingxian next to her had milk on the corner of her mouth, and without thinking, she leaned over and licked the milk off her lips with her tongue.

This action made Ye Qingxian blush, wondering which book Esther had seen this technique in.

Yunia's expression became subtle. This family really does have lesbian blood...

Section 257, page 243: The Temperature of the Lips

"Ahem, mind your image."

Unia coughed lightly, breaking the private moment between Esther and Ye Qingxian.

Time is precious, and she doesn't want to keep watching these two lovebirds show off their affection.

However, it wasn't because she felt envious; she didn't envy love at all. Just as her inner emotions had been rekindled, her heart had been filled with love ever since she saw Neytissa's mother again.

Yunia seemed to remember something, and her cheeks turned slightly red, a reaction that Estella keenly noticed.

Miss Silver Dragon began to wonder what had happened to Yunia that gave her the emotions of a living person.

Perhaps it was some very touching experience?

"Alright, you can leave the child named Norm with me, and as for Ye Qingxian... I've marked the trial location on your map."

Upon hearing what Yunia said, Ye Qingxian immediately opened her map and found a bright marker a dozen kilometers away from the Star Crystal Hunter camp.

What are the specific contents of the trial?

"There is a ruin buried under the permafrost. I want you to explore the ruin and retrieve the treasures within."

"Is this the entirety of the trial, or...?"

"How could it be all? I've already said, if you want to break through, just accumulating strength isn't enough; you also need to unleash the power of your emotions."

Yunia was unwilling to say any more, after all, in her opinion, it would be very difficult for Ye Qingxian to successfully explore the ruins.

"By the way, Estia can't come along."

"I know."

Even if Esther could come along, Ye Qingxian wouldn't let her, because she didn't want to always be protected by Esther; she wanted to gain power through her own efforts.

While obtaining the skill book for the Calamity Dragon Knight was an unexpected surprise for Ye Qingxian, it also gave her a sense of unreality, because compared to those who truly strive to become stronger, her process of gaining power was far too simple.

When does the trial begin?

"If you want, you can do it now."

"Well……"

Ye Qingxian was eager to begin the trial; she desperately wanted to become stronger and step out from behind Esther as soon as possible.

"I'm going right now! No more sleep! But before I leave, there's something I want to tell Esther."

Ye Qingxian still remembered what happened in Binghu Village. She had promised the villagers that she would protect them tomorrow.

She hoped that Esther could help resolve the matter and instructed her not to harm innocent people.

"You must, you must, treat those humans with respect... Although I know you have a bad view of humans, they are all good people."

The villagers of Binghu Village are very simple and honest. Ye Qingxian had been warmly received by them before, so she had a very good impression of them.

"Don't worry, Xiao Ye, I'm not an evil dragon. They're just a bunch of adventurers from another world. I'll take care of them."

Since the adventurers from other worlds don't die, Esther can manipulate them like a cat playing with a mouse, leaving them with deep psychological trauma.

In a sense, it's a pity for the players that Estella is handling the Ice Lake Village matter in place of Ye Qingxian.

However, Ye Qingxian believed they did not deserve pity. They had caused deep harm to Ice Lake Village and therefore had to pay the price.

Estya could see Ye Qingxian's enthusiasm, so she followed Ye Qingxian outside, took her hand, and wanted to see her off.

Unia wisely refrained from following them out, which gave Esther and Ye Qingxian the opportunity to do something more intimate.

Mmm... Mmm...

The girls kissed on the snow. It was Esther who initiated the kiss on Ye Qingxian. This was her way of encouraging her lover, giving him strength through a kiss.

Just as Yunia said, love can also be a force. Ye Qingxian felt a warmth in her heart, dispelling the cold of the snowy night.

Ye Qingxian loves Esther very much, but she doesn't have many ways to express it. Lacking romantic experience and still in the state of first love, she can only awkwardly communicate her feelings to Esther through kissing.

However, her eighteenth birthday is just a few days away. According to Chinese tradition, she will be considered an adult. Although her physical development is very slow, or even almost non-existent, and she still retains the appearance of a young girl, her eighteenth birthday is still of great significance to Ye Qingxian.

That meant she could finally take responsibility for everything she did. She wanted to get closer to Esther, even if they were lesbians; she wanted a deeper love.

Ye Qingxian secretly contacted Luo Huawu without telling Esther.

She asked Luo Huawu some questions.

Luo Huawu and Ye Qingxian were about the same age, but as a well-known doujinshi artist, she was quite knowledgeable about "adult knowledge." Ye Qingxian asked her for many private paintings and learned a lot from them.

She did all this without any other intention than to plan for the future, so that when she and Esther finally took that important step in bed, she wouldn't falter due to a lack of knowledge.

But no matter how many times you study theory, it can't compare to real combat. Ye Qingxian is looking forward to that day.

Estya escorted Ye Qingxian to the outside of the camp. She wasn't worried about Ye Qingxian because Ye Qingxian had the ability to resurrect; if she died, she would only lose some experience points.

"Xiao Ye, keep going! I'm waiting for your good news."

Esther understands that her lover doesn't want to be protected by her, so she hopes that Ye Qingxian can unleash his emotional power and successfully break through the level 100 limit.

However, sometimes she wondered, no matter how much Ye Qingxian improved her strength on the Faya Continent, she would still be just an ordinary person on Earth. What was the point of that?

Ye Qingxian on Earth is completely unable to protect herself, so why can't she bring her power to Earth?

Watching her lover's figure disappear into the snowy night, Esther turned and returned to the Star Crystal Hunter camp. So far, apart from the few gatekeepers, she had not seen any other Star Crystal Hunters.

Although she wasn't a Star Crystal Hunter, Esther still asked the question.

Yunia answered Estia's question with a smile: "Because the Star Crystal Hunters are no longer in this world."

"Infiltrating the enemy's world? That takes real courage."

"After all, they are Star Crystal Hunters; their enemies are powerful and profound calamities."

Are you a Star Crystal Hunter too?

“Me?” Yunia didn’t answer the question, but instead brought up Estia’s situation: “Let’s talk about your stardust disease first.”

Estia was taken aback; it seemed that this kind of thing couldn't be hidden from Yunia.

Section 258, page 244: How many more seconds do you have left to live?

How did you contract psoriasis?

From the moment she met Esther, Yunia wanted to know the answer, but considering that Ye Qingxian might not know, she only asked after she had a chance to be alone with Esther.

Her guess was right; Esther was indeed keeping it from Ye Qingxian.

Estia can only give Yunia a score of 5 out of 10, which is a neutral level of friendliness.

She wouldn't tell Yunia about Earth; although Yunia was mysterious, she might not know much about Earth.

"Just as you didn't tell me how to get back my love, I won't tell you how I got psoriasis."

"Pfft... You really know how to apply what you've learned."

"By the way, you once told me that if I wanted to study stardust disease, it would be best to get it myself, and that my physical condition was very strong, and the power of stardust would not affect my body."

Are you feeling any negative emotions right now?

"Of course, I cough up blood from time to time, and sometimes my heart stops beating. I feel like I'm about to die."

Estia deliberately exaggerated, but to her surprise, Yunia's reaction was quite strong.

"..."

Yunia couldn't believe it. With the qualities of the dragon race and the bloodline of the royal family, it was impossible for stardust to have any negative effects on her.

"Come here, let me test you."

Suddenly, Yunia grabbed Estia's arm and pulled her toward a small room.

"Hey! Our relationship isn't at the point where we can have physical contact yet!"

Estia dislikes physical contact with anyone other than important people, so Yunia's action annoyed her.

"Why worry about these trivial things! Your stardust infection is the most important thing!"

Yunia switched to a stern tone, which startled Estella slightly. What was going on? Why was Yunia acting so concerned about her?

As a former Imperial officer in charge of magical technology research, Yunia is quite proficient in scientific invention. Now, she has applied the technology she developed in her previous life to the detection of Stardust Power, so there are many very useful devices in the laboratory.

"Sit down."

Yunia pointed to the chair in the room and said.

"Wait a minute, where is this place?"

As Estia looked at the messy layout of the room, she felt as if she had entered an alchemist's room, but the various machines and crystals on the table created a different feeling.

At that moment, Esther suddenly realized that all the crystals on the table were star crystals!

That's right, the Catastrophe Hunters Guild will definitely research Star Crystals.

Wow, so many star crystals! Can you buy some wholesale for me?

"Sit down! Now!"

Yunia suddenly showed anger; this was the first time she had ever lost her temper in front of Estia.

An incredibly powerful aura emanated from Yunia's body, causing Estia's heart to pound. Good heavens, just how strong is Yunia? Why does she evoke such fear in Estia?

Estia didn't know if she could defeat Yunia with the Holy Spirit Rifle; she never expected this undead to be so powerful...

Under such intimidation, Estia did not back down, but to avoid further escalation of the tension, she ultimately chose to sit obediently in the chair.

Yunia then began operating the instruments to conduct tests, ultimately arriving at a very shocking conclusion.
