Miss Dragon, the BOSS, will not be captured.

"Huh!? What..."

"Don't you understand what I'm saying?" Esther tapped on the glass cabinet beside her. "Don't forget who you are."

Ye Qingxian knew that Esther was teasing her, but she couldn't refuse Esther's request because until the end of the day, her identity would remain Esther's maid.

"Yes, I'm coming right now..." Ye Qingxian walked towards Esther somewhat reluctantly.

Estella actually noticed that Ye Qingxian was under too much pressure, so she used this method to help her relax.

However, ordering Ye Qingxian to feed him might not make her relax...

Section 44.040 Tears of Hope

Ye Qingxian dared not disobey Esther's orders, otherwise she would be bullied by Esther in various ways again.

She's not a masochist; being treated like that would only make her feel humiliated.

It's just feeding, right? Just treat it like feeding a cat.

"Ah~" Estia opened her mouth.

Generally speaking, there are two situations when feeding each other: one is when people with good relationships feed each other, and the other is when servants serve their masters. Ye Qingxian clearly belongs to the latter.

She held her breath, scooped out a spoonful of pudding, and slowly brought it to Estia's lips.

"Ahm~"

Estia swallowed the spoonful whole, letting out a soft, contented hum.

Do you enjoy being served by others...?

Ye Qingxian didn't know how she had the courage to talk to Esther, but the words still came out of her mouth.

“No, I don’t have that kind of hobby.” Estia smiled. “I just like to bully people, especially the weaker they are.”

"soft……"

Ye Qingxian wanted to argue that she wasn't weak; she only appeared weak because of her frail health. If she could beat Esther, she would definitely repay Esther for what she had done to her tenfold!

"What are you daydreaming about? Keep feeding me." Estia squinted her eyes to enjoy the food, adding, "Humans are really interesting."

"Yes……"

Ye Qingxian chose to endure it, since she wouldn't lose anything by doing this, and she would get used to it over time.

Alas, ever since she started spending time with Esther, she has become more easily swayed.

When will Miss Puff be back? Will the tear-inducing potion she made really work on Esther? What if it doesn't work?

Ye Qingxian was lost in thought, and the price of that was...

buling~

Unwilling to accept its fate of being eaten by the silver dragon girl, the pudding in the spoon jumped out and escaped.

Splat!

The soft pudding fell onto Estia's thigh, staining her black stockings with the yellow pudding and caramel on top.

"..."

Ye Qingxian stopped breathing.

Estia did not immediately fly into a rage, but instead stared quietly at Ye Qingxian. She did not speak, but her scarlet eyes looked like they could kill.

"The potion is ready!"

Miss Puff emerged from the dark passage, holding a bottle filled with orange liquid.

She realized the atmosphere in the store was a bit strange. She glanced at Ye Qingxian, who was frozen in place, then at the expressionless Estya... and at the pudding on her lap.

"Let me guess, did the clumsy maid accidentally drop the pudding on Master's lap?"

Miss Puff immediately guessed the reason. She shook the potion in her hand, trying to help Ye Qingxian out of the predicament: "Come on, aren't you in a hurry to need the potion? It's already made."

"Humph."

Estia snorted and stood up from her chair, taking the medicine from Miss Puff's hand.

She wouldn't easily forgive Ye Qingxian's mistake; for now, she's only given Ye Qingxian a suspended death sentence... without any reduction in punishment.

Although death meant nothing to Ye Qingxian, she could still come up with all sorts of ways to punish him.

"How do I use this medicine? Can I just drink it directly?"

“That’s right!” Miss Puff smiled gently. “Would you like some?”

"Yes."

"Thank goodness, the potion's effects should be enough to make you, a dragon, shed tears."

Hearing Miss Puff's words, Ye Qingxian's heart gradually stirred with excitement. Hope was within reach; if only she could obtain Esther's tears...

"By the way, can I know why you're crying?" Puff asked.

I'll explain it to you later.

Estya opened the stopper of the potion and poured the liquid inside into her mouth in large gulps.

A few seconds later, her expression changed drastically, and she gritted her teeth as she said to Puff, "You... why didn't you tell me beforehand..."

"what?"

"nothing……"

Estia plopped down in the chair, then closed her eyes and remained motionless.

After a while, Ye Qingxian couldn't help but ask Puff, "What... what's wrong with her?"

"While the tear-inducing process is underway, drinking the medicine will trigger the most painful memories, amplifying the sadness tenfold."

"This……"

Ye Qingxian hadn't expected the tear-inducing liquid to work like this; she had thought that drinking it would make her cry...

In other words, is Esther now recalling the past with ten times the sorrow?

Players, including Ye Qingxian, learned about Esther from the official story CG. Although the information was limited, Esther's story was extremely sad, causing countless players to break down in tears.

Even as bystanders, the players are deeply saddened by Estella's story; imagine how much more intense the sadness must be when Estella herself recalls it, amplified tenfold...

In Ye Qingxian's view, this already constitutes a "sacrifice." After Esther's memories end, how should she express her gratitude?

A simple verbal thank you is not enough to express the help Esther has given.

As it turned out, Ye Qingxian underestimated Esther's psychological resilience. Although the silver dragon girl sitting in the chair had a sad expression on her face, not a single tear fell from her eyes.

Perhaps, as Estia had said before, she had already shed all her tears when she was young.

Miss Puff grew increasingly nervous: "The effects of the medicine are almost gone, and Xiao Ai hasn't shed a tear yet... It seems she's even stronger than I imagined."

"..."

Ye Qingxian felt a sudden tightness in her heart. At this moment, her breathing was very heavy because her hope lay in Esther's tears.

If Esther ultimately fails to shed tears, it means her life is about to end, but she will never resent Esther, because Esther has already done enough for her.

Oh, fate...

Ye Qingxian also closed her eyes. She did not believe in God, but she still prayed in her heart.

Time passed by, and after an unknown amount of time, Miss Puff suddenly poked Ye Qingxian's arm.

Her words brought hope: "The effects of the medicine have worn off! Look, there are tears!"

Ye Qingxian suddenly opened her eyes and saw Esther sitting sadly in a chair, with a bright, glistening tear in the corner of her left eye.

Only one drop?

But regardless, this is Ye Qingxian's hope!

"These are my tears, take them." Estia's voice had lost its vitality. She sat motionless in the chair, which made people feel sorry for her.

"Thank you... Estia, I..."

"Stop dawdling!" Miss Puff grabbed Ye Qingxian's arm. "Even though I don't know what you're doing, hurry up and collect the tears! Otherwise they'll dry quickly!"

Puff is right. Now that we've finally created tears, collecting them is the most important thing.

So What If I Reincarnated as a Witch! [Yuri]

Summary:

Witches are a race of only females, born from eggs, and inherently cruel yet possessing an extremely evil charm. They are the most feared beings in the multiverse, without exception.

Witches have long lifespans, and all of them are natural spellcasters. These wicked ladies play with time and space at will, despise death, bleed heaven, tear apart the abyss, swing under the World Tree, soak in hot springs in the River of Time, and are audacious and do whatever they want.

Some see them as living natural disasters, leaving only chaos after their rampage; others believe they are the cancer of the universe, ultimately leading to the end of the world.

But what does it matter to the witches whether others feel awe or fear?

Perhaps everyone is afraid of witches, or perhaps everyone wants to be a witch...

Section 45.041 Lick it off with your tongue (+)

Estya looked utterly dejected, but time was of the essence, so Ye Qingxian had to do the most important thing first.

She walked up to Estia and reached out to touch the corner of her eye.

"Ding~ Pickup failed"

"Wh-what?"

Ye Qingxian tried to use the pickup function again, but the next prompt tone still indicated failure.

"Hurry up, a single tear dries up very easily!" Miss Puff was anxious for Ye Qingxian.
