Miss Dragon, the BOSS, will not be captured.

Astrea carefully observed Ye Qingxian as he ate, deciding to memorize his image.

With her player system, she often engages in online battles with other players on the forum, and some of her knowledge is learned during these battles.

When Ye Qingxian thanked her before, she asked in return if "thank you" was just a polite remark and not what she truly felt.

Her real thought was, isn't the word "thank you" used by gamers to insult people?

Estia wasn't stupid; she knew the true meaning of the word "thank you," but she thought players weren't using it that way.

When browsing the forums, players often say things like "Thank you so much!" At first, Estella thought they were genuinely expressing gratitude, but later she realized it was just sarcasm!

After further observation, she finally determined that the "thank you" from the players was not a compliment.

However, Ye Qingxian was the first player she had ever spoken to in real life. Although she often said thank you, she probably didn't mean any harm.

It seems we still need to continue observing. Esther wants to take this opportunity to gain a better understanding of Ye Qingxian and the players.

Her way of thinking is very different from that of humans. In her view, strength is the foundation of dignity. How can someone without strength make all sorts of demands? They should just obediently let her do whatever she wants.

This is the kind of thinking that only high-level magical beasts like dragons would have.

After finishing her meal, Ye Qingxian sat upright in her chair, waiting for Esther to arrange the next steps.

"Your room is upstairs, the second one on the right in the corridor."

"Thank you for taking me in."

"After all, I'm the one who brought you into this, so I'll treat you a little better."

What truly changed Esther's attitude was learning that Ye Qingxian didn't have much time left.

Despite her resilience and strength honed through hardship in her childhood, what she finds most unbearable to see is the death of those she knows, excluding, of course, her enemies.

Ye Qingxian, a human from another world, has already made contact with her. Although it was due to a series of accidents, it was inevitable that Esther would remember this person.

And now she no longer regards Ye Qingxian as an enemy, perhaps because Ye Qingxian is too pitiful, or perhaps because Ye Qingxian is very special and different from the players she imagined.

When Estia browses the forum, even without using the phrase "Estia is not cute" to mock others, she can still see many players frequently insulting her family, making the entire forum a chaotic mess.

In some discussion threads about NPCs, Estia could see the arrogant and conceited faces of the players, and the majority of them said that NPCs were virtual characters and had no respect for them at all.

Therefore, Esther did not have a high opinion of the players, and her impression of them worsened when she learned that someone had drawn erotic doujinshi about her without her permission.

As for those fans, Esther thinks they are just lusting after her body. They don't even know her past or her inner thoughts, and they've never even met her, yet they call her "wife" from afar. It's really annoying.

Players are Estia's enemies, but they can revive, making them like unkillable cockroaches to Estia. They are a good choice for practice or training monsters in the Abyss of the Netherworld.

In addition, Estia has been avoiding any interaction with humans, including the original inhabitants of the continent of Faya.

Because she knew that once she became friends with humans, she would have to witness their aging and death, which she could not accept. Therefore, she would not make friends and would not give her feelings.

She hated the human empire of a thousand years ago, but her hatred did not extend to all of humanity. After she completed her revenge, her view of humanity gradually shifted to neutral to slightly dislike, and she would not find pleasure in killing innocent humans.

"You attempted suicide in front of my house before, didn't you?" Esther pulled up a chair, sat down, crossed her legs, and questioned Ye Qingxian with an air of authority.

"I wanted to test whether I would be teleported outside the Netherworld Dragon Abyss after being resurrected."

"So, did you succeed?"

"Uh……"

Isn't it obvious whether it succeeded or not? Estia was asking a question she already knew the answer to.

"Tell me, do players really respawn indefinitely after they die?"

"Yes, but we will lose some experience... no, some strength."

Now that she no longer treats the other person as a virtual character, Ye Qingxian deliberately converted some of the chat content into words that Esther could understand.

"Then what about you saying you have a terminal illness? You'll be resurrected after you die from it, right?"

Estya had never understood this problem. She had seen players who had conquered dungeons die tragically, but after being resurrected, they would reappear, lively and energetic.

"I'm referring to physical illness. Do you remember what I told you about virtual reality last time?"

It was very difficult to explain, but Ye Qingxian tried her best to explain to Esther in a way that Esther could understand.

"Alright, alright, I understand." After a while, Esther suddenly interrupted her. "Let me put it this way, your current bodies are just physical forms, while your souls reside in the world called 'reality.' The body can be resurrected after it perishes, but the soul dies forever."

"Hmm, is that a correct understanding?"

Although some of them are not accurate.

“I see.” Estia’s eyes turned dangerous. “Is there any way to directly attack the soul?”

"W-What do you want to do?!"

"I don't want to do anything."

"Don't ask me, I don't know anything."

Ye Qingxian actually knew that for players, directly attacking the "soul" was, to put it bluntly, a real-person offline PK.

Can Esther even travel to the real world?

"Hmph, so you really are a dying man?"

"I have no reason to lie to you."

Estia fell silent.

She is not heartless; she can feel compassion even if the other person is of a different race from her.

However, the amount of sympathy one feels depends on their relationship with the other person.

The loneliness and helplessness I saw in Ye Qingxian were somewhat similar to her own when she was a child.

The other party has been trapped in the Netherworld Dragon Abyss for 30 days and has less than 40 days left to live... How did they get such a specific time?

If her tears could help her, then she should try to produce some tears. In Esther's view, this was a small matter and wouldn't require much effort.

The problem is that she can't produce tears. The physical method of using onions to induce tears didn't work, so perhaps a more advanced method is needed.

Let's wait until dawn tomorrow to ask the witch if she has any relevant potions.

"I have another question. Can't you log off? That is, can your soul return to your original world?"

"cannot……"

"why?"

"Because my physical body is already lying unconscious in a hospital bed."

"So that's how it is. You've been trapped here."

After talking with Ye Qingxian for a while, Esther learned a lot of knowledge that she could never access on the forum.

Suddenly, she remembered the lily book in her bedroom, and her cheeks flushed red again.

Although she and Ye Qingxian had no relationship, Ye Qingxian was another protagonist in the story.

The notebook that Luo Huawu used for revenge was Esther's first book; to be honest, there were some actions and words in it that she couldn't understand.

Will Ye Qingxian find out?

This is a bit embarrassing to ask, but I'm really curious...

"Ok?"

Ye Qingxian noticed that Esther was acting strangely. First, her legs were flat, and second, she seemed to be thinking about something. Her face was a little red, and her tail seemed to be at a loss, sometimes standing up and swaying, sometimes hanging down on the floor.

What's wrong with Esther? She's suddenly become strange more than once.

This is nothing like the Estia she first met.

PS2: Actually, it's the other way around! But since we'll be putting it on sooner or later anyway, it doesn't really matter which one it is.

PS3: I'm recommending a yuri (girls' love) book. It's a good book but not very popular. You should check it out: "I'm Getting Up Close and Personal with My Crystal-Colored Idol!"

Section 35, page 031: What is "贴贴" (tiētiē)?

Estya knew very well that the knowledge she was curious about now belonged to forbidden knowledge that no one in the Netherworld Dragon Abyss wanted her to know.

She is the lord of the Netherworld and the rightful princess of the Dragon Kingdom. With her powerful strength, she looks down on all living beings. Can't she even satisfy her own thirst for knowledge?

Estya was thinking so much because she wanted to avoid feeling too guilty when touching on forbidden knowledge, since she had been instilled with the idea that certain things should not be touched since she was a child.

She would never share the contents of the notebook with Ye Qingxian. She also had a sense of shame. There was no doubt that Luo Huawu's final work had caused her great harm, and it was real harm at that.

For some reason, even though she felt shy and disgusted by the contents of the notebook, she often couldn't help but want to flip through it again, showing a coy attitude.

As for some of the incomprehensible knowledge within, she was very eager to figure it out.

Estya didn't even bother to eat; the first question she asked was the simplest one: "What is 'sticker'?"

"Tiedie?" Ye Qingxian was taken aback. It was a popular term in real life. She explained her understanding: "Tiedie means... a very close relationship, right?"

"Can two girls stick together?"

Luo Huawu's story isn't about typical male-female romance; it's about two girls (her and Ye Qingxian) getting together.

"what?"

Ye Qingxian thought she had misheard. How could Esther ask such a question?

"Is it okay for people of the same sex to stick together?" the white-haired dragon girl asked, rephrasing the question.

"Are you... are you alright?"

(What happened? Who possessed Estia?)

"Fine, don't answer if you don't want to! I'm hungry now!"

boom!

Estya suddenly slammed her hand on the table, startling Ye Qingxian, before she began to eat.

She grabbed the roast chicken from the table and stuffed it into her mouth, still eating it in that wolfish way.

Ye Qingxian couldn't possibly eat all the food on the table. To avoid wasting food, she had only touched the dishes on two plates.

The remaining untouched dishes were devoured by Esther at an astonishing speed. Although the food was enough to feed more than a dozen people, Esther's stomach remained perfectly flat.
