Miss Dragon, the BOSS, will not be captured.

"You're not trying to run away again, are you? I told you I'm going to study you."

"Why can't I run? Waaah, it's you who's restricting my freedom."

"No matter what you think, I need you right now!"

Estella must study the astrosis disease on Ye Qingxian's body, as it is the key to opening the box left by her mother.

Ye Qingxian was speechless for a moment. She hadn't expected that Esther would actually say that she needed her.

"You two shut up!" Miss Anawen interrupted their conversation angrily from the side. "Xiao Ai, you tell me, what are we going to do about this?"

She used vines to hand the extinguished torch to Estia, who simply kicked it away.

"That's outrageous! Knowing that Miss Anawen is a plant-type monster, they still went and did bad things while holding a torch."

"No! I didn't! I was just passing by!"

Ye Qingxian was still trying to defend herself when she received a look of disbelief from Esther.

"Miss Anawen, what do you think should be done to punish Ye Qingxian?"

"Let me think..." She rested her chin on her hand, several vines swaying around her body. "I want to ask first, who is she to you?"

“A maid,” Esther blurted out instinctively, then corrected herself, realizing her mistake: “She is my research subject.”

"Research subjects?"

"Well, just don't hurt her, and definitely don't kill her."

"Alright then, for your sake, let this Ye Qingxian water me for a hundred years."

"One, one hundred years?"

Ye Qingxian couldn't believe her ears. Were these demons' time units measured in centuries?

"If I hadn't been understanding that Xiao Ai hadn't been feeling well these past few days, I really would have had a breakdown today."

"Don't lose your temper, let's talk this out!"

Estia clearly remembered the last time Anawin was angry. It was springtime, so she would secretly pluck flowers from Miss Anawin every day. Eventually, she went too far and Miss Anawin noticed.

Enraged, Miss Anawen plunged her plant roots into the earth, plowing up the entire surface of the Dark Abyss...

"But I can't live that long, a hundred years."

Ye Qingxian's life is measured in months; even with a normal lifespan, she doesn't believe she can live to be a hundred.

Estia secretly pinched her and whispered, "Can't you just agree first?"

"Hey, I... I understand..."

Ye Qingxian then showed an extremely sincere attitude of admitting her mistake, saying all the nice things she could think of, and said that she would water Miss Anawen for the rest of her life.

Finally, Miss Anawen put Ye Qingxian down with satisfaction.

"In that case, I'll take the person with me."

"Okay, let's go, let's go~"

Miss Anawen adopted a gentle tone and lightly stroked Ye Qingxian's head with her vines, even though these vines had almost strangled Ye Qingxian not long ago.

Estya grabbed Ye Qingxian's hand and hurriedly led her away from the area where Anawen was located.

“You idiot, Anawyn has a terrible temper in the morning and she absolutely hates fire. She almost killed you, you know that?”

"I'm sorry, this was really an accident."

Ye Qingxian had a big question in her mind, and after thinking about it for a long time without being able to figure it out, she couldn't help but ask, "That... Estia?"

"what?"

"Why should you, as the lord of the Netherworld, have to defer to the whims of a demon boss?"

"When have I ever had to read her face?" Esther stopped and told Ye Qingxian seriously, "Miss Anawen is my subordinate, but also my friend. We usually get along as friends."

"I see……"

Ye Qingxian felt her palms getting warm, and then realized that she was being held by Esther's hand. For some reason, her heart was beating faster.

She was very grateful that Estia had come to her rescue, but she had just escaped one danger only to fall into another. When would this end?

Estya was a little slow to react. When she realized that she was unconsciously holding Ye Qingxian's hand, her reaction became even stronger, and she pushed Ye Qingxian away.

In a moment of desperation, Ye Qingxian activated her professional skill, which prevented her from falling to the ground.

"Ahem, I'll take this opportunity to speak frankly."

In order to get her experimental subjects to cooperate with the research willingly, Esther thought it would be appropriate to share some information with them.

So she told Ye Qingxian her purpose, and then assured her that she would not harm Ye Qingxian's body, and told her to just obediently let herself be studied.

Ye Qingxian expressed that she wanted to see her mother. Now that she was able to leave the Netherworld Dragon Abyss, Esther should keep her promise and let her go.

Estia offered an impeccable reason: "I am the Lord of the Netherworld, your enemy. You believe the words of an enemy?"

Even though Ye Qingxian is now on the same side as her, she wasn't when she made that promise.

"I knew you'd say that." Ye Qingxian's shoulders slumped weakly.

"You can continue to stay in the room I arranged for you during this time. If you miss your mother, I can send someone to bring her here as well."

"Absolutely not!" Ye Qingxian knew she couldn't refuse Esther's request, so she could only say, "Could you allow me to leave here periodically? For example, to go out and meet my mother, or to invite my mother into the Netherworld Dragon Abyss."

She said "invite," not "arrest."

After considering it for a moment, Esther decided that if it could get Ye Qingxian to cooperate obediently, then the condition would be acceptable.

"Alright, I won't run away anymore."

"Hmph, you can't escape even if you try."

During their conversation, they returned home. Estya went inside, while Ye Qingxian wanted to stay outside alone for a while.

The moonlight was bright, and she lay on the grass, looking at the twinkling stars in the sky.

"Cough cough..."

She couldn't help but cough a few times, accompanied by a slight pain in her lungs.

Astrosis... which means she has fragments of stars in her body? Yunia said they were fragments of the Star of Calamity, which should be different from the stars in the sky.

Suddenly, a shooting star streaked across the sky. Ye Qingxian remembered the legend of making wishes upon stars, and taking this opportunity, she began to make a wish upon the shooting star.

"I hope I'll get better..."

A few seconds later, another meteor appeared, flying alongside the first one, forming a double-tailed meteor in the night sky.

Since there are two, can we make two wishes?

Ye Qingxian couldn't think of any wishes for a moment. Remembering the frustrations she'd experienced these past few days, she closed her eyes and prayed—

"If only I could become stronger... ideally, I could defeat Estia."

I don't know if shooting stars actually grant wishes. First of all, it's a legend, and secondly, this is a game world...

Ye Qingxian watched as the two shooting stars, carrying her hopes, disappeared into the horizon with long, beautiful tails.

Bored, she started checking her attribute panel, inventory, and skill tree. She accidentally clicked on the recording function and discovered that she was still recording.

Could it be...?

The recording has been running for nearly ten hours now, meaning it has never stopped since it started.

What about what happened in bed before?

Her cheeks flushed bright red, and she immediately stopped recording.

"Ding~ The video file has been saved and can be viewed at any time."

"Ahhh, I'm so embarrassed!"

Ye Qingxian covered her face with her hands and couldn't help but roll around on the grass...

Section 64, page 059: Don't spoil the mood!

"His Majesty."

Inside the Fania Palace, the knight Logat knelt before the king, removing his armor and placing his sword in front of him.

“The princess has been kidnapped by a dragon, and as her guardian knight, I bear an inescapable responsibility. Therefore, I beg you to execute me.”

"Do not."

The king rose from his throne and paced back and forth: "The silver dragon Estia is too powerful. It was my daughter who underestimated her and was captured."

"But what should we do..."

Logat slammed his fist into the ground in despair. Even if the entire Kingdom of Fania were to launch an attack on the Abyss of the Dark Realm, victory would be hard to achieve.

Is there really no way for humans to deal with that evil dragon?

"The priest told us to wait; those adventurers from another world will definitely be able to defeat the evil dragon."

"How much longer do we have to wait? They're just too weak..."

"Ugh."

The king waved his hand: "Take your men to rest, and have the treasurer prepare the ransom."

“Yes!” Logat answered through gritted teeth.

After the knights left, the king waved for all his guards to leave as well, leaving only him and the silent queen in the spacious palace.

"Waaaaah! My daughter!"

The king, in a very unladylike manner, threw himself into the queen's arms and wept, while the queen, though middle-aged, still looked young, and could only comfort the poor man.

“Don’t worry, my husband. Our daughter won’t be mistreated there. She can come back after the ransom is paid.”

She was once a princess of the Kingdom of Fania and is very familiar with the relevant procedures because she has experienced them firsthand.

"Damn it! That wretched dragon!"

What troubled the king the most was not Estia, but her monster army.
