Miss Dragon, the BOSS, will not be captured.

"My dear daughter, don't worry. Your father is doing well now, and I believe he will wake up soon."

"really?"

Estia realized this was the first time her mother had said this, because in the past, when she asked, her mother would just frown and say she didn't know how long it would take.

But now the mother's expression is very happy, which means that the father's condition is really improving.

However, Esther was still curious about what kind of illness would force the former Dragon King into a deep sleep, and why he had to stay underground and not see anyone except his mother.

Let's talk about it after her future father wakes up. Right now, what Esther cares about most is the name Ye Qingxian.

After dinner, Esther was supposed to go out to play with her friends, but she stood them up and went back to her room to rest.

The dragon princess lived a very high standard of living. Her room was extremely spacious. Just take out a bed, and it would take half a minute to roll from one end to the other. It was even big enough to accommodate her in her true form.

Estia sat at her desk, spaced out for a while, then picked up a pen and paper and began to draw.

Her artistic talent is average, but having received instruction from master painters since childhood, she can now paint anything lifelike.

At this moment, Estia, holding a paintbrush, drew Ye Qingxian's appearance on paper based on her previous memories.

When she put down her pen, a portrait of a human girl appeared on the paper.

A pang of pain shot through Esther's heart once more. Who exactly was Ye Qingxian?

She had never met him in real life, but he often appeared in her dreams.

Hopefully, Birlan will find a way to resolve his doubts tomorrow.

Estella gently rubbed the drawing paper with her fingers, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

This is not something she can control; simply seeing the people in the painting will cause her tears to well up.

Section 270, page 255: Divining the Past

Estia has been having dreams every night for the past twenty years.

But tonight, unusually, she didn't dream and slept soundly all night.

The next day, a delegation from the human side was to visit, and the archmage Birlan would also be coming.

Estia and Birland were friends, but they had never actually met. At most, they had exchanged portraits, and their relationship was maintained through letters.

However, she did not doubt her friendship with Birlan, as the archmage was actually very easy to talk to.

Standing in front of the bedroom mirror, she carefully combed her hair and the scales on her tail, then put the portrait of Ye Qingxian that she had drawn last night into her pocket.

The peace and friendship agreement between the Dragon Kingdom and the Human Empire twenty years ago was just the beginning. After that, diplomatic relations between the various races on the continent of Faya began to improve, eventually leading to an unprecedented period of peace.

It's quite common for delegations from other races to visit, like today, because we're all friends.

Welcome to the Dragon Kingdom!

The dragon official in charge of the reception greeted the delegation and then prepared to lead them to their temporary rest area.

As a dragon princess, Esther gracefully bowed to them, then immediately spotted Birlan in the crowd. Birlan also saw her, and the two friends, meeting for the first time, exchanged glances and immediately understood what the other wanted to do.

"Let me personally show the Archmage around here."

No one dared disobey Esther's words, and she successfully gained the opportunity to communicate privately with Birlan.

"Finally, I've met you, Esther. You're even more beautiful than in the portrait."

"Thank you, you too."

Estia didn't like hearing compliments, so she told Birlan directly about her experience the day before.

"Oh? That girl who keeps appearing in your dreams? Although you mentioned her in your letters before, was yesterday the first time you had such a vivid hallucination?"

"Yes... I don't even think it was a hallucination; my emotions were very volatile..."

Birlan's expression turned very serious: "Estya, I am proficient in divination magic and can answer your questions through divination."

"Really? That's great!"

"However, I won't predict your future, but rather your past."

"Divining the past?"

"That's right, because that human named Ye Qingxian is very likely someone you used to know."

"That can't be... I don't remember ever seeing her."

"What if it was a past life?"

"Previous...previous life?"

Estia didn't react for a moment. No one in this world could prove the existence of a past life; the term seemed more like a figment of imagination.

"I need your blood for divination."

Birlan once performed a divination on herself. As the most powerful mage in the world, she glimpsed her past life and discovered that she had coincidentally been friends with Esther in her previous life.

This is why she readily agreed when young Esther wrote to her wanting to be her friend.

It can be said that in this world, Bierlan is the person who understands the concept of past lives the most.

Originally, if given the chance, she would have liked to perform a divination for Esther to see if she could awaken Esther's memories. Now that she has this opportunity, she will not let it go.

"Oh, right, there's also this portrait. Take a look at it first."

Before bleeding herself, Estia took out the portrait she had drawn the night before.

"Um……"

Birland took the portrait; the girl in it looked very familiar to her.

Because she had seen Ye Qingxian in her previous life.

"Come, Estia, let us observe the past and the future through divination magic."

Bierlan used her magic to create a hidden barrier to prevent their divination process from being disturbed.

Estia watched curiously as Birlan took out a crystal ball.

"Drip your blood on it."

"it is good."

Without hesitation, Estia bit her arm and dripped her dragon blood onto the crystal ball.

Then Bielan infused it with magic, and the crystal ball immediately emitted a dazzling light.

After a dozen or so seconds, it began to display images—

The autumn path was strewn with fallen leaves. Esther held Ye Qingxian's hand and walked forward, talking to each other. However, the crystal ball only displayed images, so Esther and Bierlan did not know what they were talking about.

However, their body language clearly indicates that they have an extremely close relationship.

"Estella, I can perform deep divination. Would you like to try?"

What is deep divination?

"It means your body will fall into a deep sleep, experiencing the things you divined as if in a dream. For example, you can hear the conversation you just had and learn more about it."

"Is the image in the crystal ball my past life?"

"I can't guarantee it 100%, but it's highly likely."

"Okay, I want a deeper divination."

Estia could never forget the dying words of the girl named Ye Qingxian, nor could she forget the resolute look in her eyes that longed to see her.

"Close your eyes, lie down on the grass, and we're about to begin."

"Ah."

As instructed by Birlan, Estia lay down on the ground, then felt her eyes become very heavy and soon fell asleep.

================

"Estella? Why are you suddenly spacing out?"

Yunia waved her hand in front of Estia's eyes.

Esther came to her senses and realized that this was not a path strewn with fallen leaves, and Ye Qingxian was not beside her. In front of her was another girl she did not recognize.

Where is this?

Estia observed her surroundings and found herself in a room with a bright fire burning in front of her, making her feel very warm.

"What are you thinking about? Are you really that distracted? This is the Catastrophe Hunter Guild."

"Oh, I remember now."

Estia shook her somewhat sluggish head and then said, "You sent the wrong coordinates to Xiao Ye, and now we can't contact her."

Yunia spread her hands apologetically: "Go find her now, since you can fly anyway."

"Humph."

Estia got up and went to the door. When she opened it, she was completely stunned, because outside was not the snowy North, but pitch black.

Everything was normal inside the house, but outside there was nothing left, not even any matter, only a deep, dark void.

Unia sat in the chair looking at her, her eyes appearing somewhat vacant.

Estia quickly realized who she was and why she had spoken so naturally to the girl in front of her.

Is this a dream?

She felt her mind was blank, as if she couldn't recall a considerable number of important memories.

Section 271, Chapter 256: The Only Two People in the Know

"Strange...I, I am..."

"Go and bring Xiaoye back quickly!" Yunia suddenly said to Estia. "If you don't go and pick her up soon, you'll never see her again."

"No! I can't be separated from Xiaoye!"
