Miss Dragon, the BOSS, will not be captured.

Back to reality, Esther softened her tone slightly: "I shouldn't have kicked you before. Doesn't it hurt now?"

She then reached her hand out from behind her back, holding an orange in her hand.

Oranges again?

"Have an orange first, I see you used to really like them."

"Uh... thank you."

(Actually, all we had at the time were oranges!)

After all that commotion, Ye Qingxian was also hungry. This orange must have been picked from the tree in front of her house by Esther. She remembered that it tasted very good when she ate it last time.

She swallowed hard and peeled the orange with her hands, feeling a burning gaze fixed on her.

Looking up, she saw Estia with a blush on her face.

This was the first time she had seen Estia blush.

Just now, Estia suddenly remembered the contents of the notebook, and then started to let her mind wander.

The two were not familiar with each other in real life, but in the doujinshi, they became a couple and also had the identities of a dragon knight and the dragon being ridden.

That kind of plot was a humiliation for Esther!

The images in the notebook were still a devastating blow to Esther's pure, blank mind.

She was somewhat afraid to look Ye Qingxian in the eye, since the main characters in the book were her and Ye Qingxian.

"Eat up, keep eating oranges."

Estia turned around, taking the opportunity to compose herself.

She's only just started using those things, so it's normal for her to find them stimulating. She shouldn't lose her composure like this after she's seen more of them.

Chapter 31, Section 027: This chapter is tear-jerking (just kidding).

Ye Qingxian discovered that the longer she spent with her, the more she realized that Esther wasn't as bad as she had imagined.

But there is also the possibility that she has Stockholm syndrome. She had no grudge against Esther, yet she was imprisoned several times.

But now that the other party is giving her oranges, does it mean that they are apologizing in some way?

Ye Qingxian was eating an orange when the system notified her that she had leveled up again, but she didn't care about it at all.

The silver dragon girl stood right in front of her, and had asked her earlier if she needed any help.

After talking with Yunia, Ye Qingxian realized that Esther might actually be able to help her.

Dragon's tears can alleviate the symptoms of astroma.

With less than 40 days left to live and no doctors in the real world able to find a cure, Ye Qingxian naturally seized the last glimmer of hope that appeared in the game.

She no longer believes that this world is simply a game world.

"Estella?" Ye Qingxian called out the name nervously, "Could you give me your..."

"abnormal!"

Before Ye Qingxian could finish speaking, Esther blurted out her own words.

She then realized she had acted inappropriately and looked away, blushing.

In the notebook that Luo Huawu drew, when Ye Qingxian was teasing her, he said something perverted like "Give me your panties."

Damn doujinshi plot...

Ye Qingxian was stunned. How did she suddenly become a pervert?

And is this shy girl really Esther? Why does she keep blushing since we met?

Estia turned her back, and a few seconds later, she turned back with a normal expression.

Don't take what I say to heart.

She reverted to being the somewhat aloof Estia she once was.

"Are you ok?"

"Let's get down to business, human. What do you want from me?"

Such a cold tone... but it feels like it's being deliberately faked.

If Ye Qingxian hadn't seen Esther's shy side, she probably would have thought that indifference was Esther's usual expression.

"May I have your tears?"

"..."

After hearing this, Esther remained silent for a moment before finally replying, "I will not shed tears."

"Huh?"

"Humph."

It was clear that Esther didn't want to explain further.

Ye Qingxian was somewhat disappointed. The dragon's tears were something that could save her life. Although Yunia had said "slow down" rather than "cure" it, it was still better than nothing.

"What do you want my tears for?"

"I...I want to live."

Now that things had come to this point, Ye Qingxian no longer wanted to hide it, and she decided to tell Esther about her health problems.

"Do you have a terminal illness?"

Estia had guessed it before, but now she was finally getting Ye Qingxian to admit it herself.

"I have star psoriasis, and dragon tears have healing properties."

Ye Qingxian immediately regretted saying those words. Yunia had told her not to tell Esther about her existence. Star psoriasis was the topic of their conversation. Would Esther suspect something?

What is star psoriasis?

As it turned out, Ye Qingxian was overthinking it; even Esther didn't seem to know the name "stellate dermatitis."

"Anyway, it's a terminal illness, and I... I only have less than 40 days to live."

"40 days?"

Estia couldn't believe it; apart from occasionally spitting out blood, the girl in front of her had no other physical characteristics that were normal.

Does this disease still exist in the world?

However, after learning about this, Esther understood why Ye Qingxian's emotions collapsed when she learned that she would be trapped in the Netherworld Dragon Abyss for 30 days.

It turned out that the girl standing in front of her was a dying person.

If a person is about to die, they will cherish the remaining precious time and use it to spend with their family or do meaningful things.

Ye Qingxian is an outsider to Youjing Longyuan, and there is no point in her staying here.

"Although I really want to help you, I can't shed a tear."

Estya had cried all her tears in her childhood, and now her heart was as strong as steel; nothing sad could bring her to tears.

"I see..."

Ye Qingxian lowered her head; it seemed her last hope had been shattered.

"I'll try another method. Let's get out of here first."

Estella disliked the environment of the Summoning Land. There were no living beings in this graveyard area. However, it was originally included in the Netherworld Dragon Abyss instance, and Estella did not have the authority to destroy it.

She summoned the teleportation array within the Netherworld Dragon Abyss. This time, Ye Qingxian stepped onto it without hesitation. The teleportation array was successfully activated, and she felt a blur before her eyes, appearing at the doorstep of Esther's house.

"Wait here for me."

Estya told Ye Qingxian to wait where she was, and she still wouldn't allow Ye Qingxian to enter her home.

She then turned and ran back into the house, and soon came out carrying a few onions.

"Physical tear gas? Does it even work?" Ye Qingxian hadn't expected Esther to go to such lengths.

"I've never tried it before, how will I know if I don't try?"

Estia squeezed the onion in her hand and crushed it with all her might, the splattering juice getting into her eyes.

"Hiss... I can't open my eyes very well."

Estia looked comical at that moment, but apart from the onion juice, she didn't seem to shed any tears.

"Stop, stop torturing yourself, okay?"

"My resistance is too high."

Estia's resistance panel is practically overflowing with immunity; the tear-inducing effect of onions is completely ineffective against her.

"Thank you for your efforts, please stop now..."

Ye Qingxian cried because onion juice splashed into her eyes, causing her great harm.

She appreciated Estella's kindness, but physical methods of inducing tears were ineffective.

"Maybe I need to get some tear-inducing medicine?"

Estia still had onion juice stuck in the corner of her eye as she pondered, her little tail wagging back and forth.

In this state, she didn't deliberately put on a stern face to maintain her dignity, so she actually looked quite adorable.

Ye Qingxian couldn't quite understand Esther, and didn't understand which behavior truly reflected Esther's usual personality.

"Let me think about what to do, don't worry."

Estella's stubbornness flared up, and she was determined to make herself cry.

"Um, could I use their email address for a bit?"
