Miss Dragon, the BOSS, will not be captured.

"You! Have you fallen under Estia's spell?!"

If she could use magic now, Anstella would definitely use it to examine Ye Qingxian's body to see if she was possessed.

Ye Qingxian recalled her experiences with Esther and said with a smile, "Esteya helped me a lot. Although I didn't understand some of her actions at first, I later realized that she..."

"Her what?"

"She only pretends to be tough and cold on the surface, but she is actually a very gentle person. I wish I could be friends with her."

"..."

Everyone fell silent; even Ye Qingxian was surprised that she had blurted out such a thing.

Becoming Estya's friend was absolutely wishful thinking for Ye Qingxian, because her status was completely unequal to Estya's.

Little did she know, Estia, hidden in the shadows, had heard everything she said and had begun to think.

"I don't know how to say this to you, aren't you afraid of being eaten by Esther?"

Anstella really couldn't understand what was going on in Ye Qingxian's head. Estella was an evil dragon. What if the dragon was in a bad mood and ate Ye Qingxian up in one bite?

"Estia doesn't eat people... well, at least I've never seen her eat people."

"See? You're not even sure. What if she likes to eat people? After all, she's a dragon."

Estia, hiding in the shadows, really wanted to run out and punch this foolish princess a couple of times. Who was it that spread the rumor that she ate people?!

She is simply a billion times larger than a human in her physical form.

"Even if she eats people, she won't eat me..."

Are you so sure?

"Ah."

What Ye Qingxian was really thinking was that it wouldn't matter if she were eaten.

Anyway, she's a player; she'll resurrect after death, and at most, she'll experience being digested in Estia's stomach...

Ugh, it sounds so weird to imagine.

"They're all insane, they're all insane! Not a single one of you otherworldly adventurers is normal."

"Say what you will, but I am now Estia's maid, and I also belong to the Netherworld Dragon Abyss."

Ye Qingxian was classified as belonging to the monster camp, so the name above Anstella's head was always red in her eyes.

The escort job Lilith assigned was very simple; anyone could do it, and there was no need to worry about Anstella escaping.

But Anstilla was quite annoyed. Being escorted by the weak Ye Qingxian was a real humiliation for her, given her strong will and pride.

The entrance to the Netherworld Dragon Abyss was just ahead, where a knight was waiting with his horse. Because he was not wearing a helmet, Ye Qingxian recognized him.

He was the knight Logat who gave Ye Qingxian the task of pretending to be a princess, the guy who ran away in a flash after hearing the dragon's roar.

"It was you!?"

Logat never expected that the bait he used to lure her as a princess would lead the real princess to collect the ransom.

"It's me! Didn't expect that, did you?"

Ye Qingxian actually felt a sense of satisfaction from her successful revenge.

The system had already notified Ye Qingxian that her mission was complete, and she had leveled up several more times, feeling even stronger.

Are there no guards at the entrance to the dungeon?

Ye Qingxian looked around and realized an awkward situation: only she, the princess, and the knight were present. What if the knight attacked her at this moment...?

In fact, that's exactly what Logat did. Without hesitation, he drew his sword and held it to Ye Qingxian's neck, then prepared to untie Anstella's ropes.

Ye Qingxian froze in fear, knowing that the blade might slice through her neck in the next second.

"Do you think I don't exist?"

Estia emerged from the shadows.

"Estella!"

Nothing could surprise Ye Qingxian more than seeing Esther now.

"Let her go."

Estella's face was cold, her tail held straight up, deliberately releasing the pressure of a dragon. Even Anstella felt her heart tremble because of this aura.

Carrot's sword fell to the ground, and he barely managed to keep himself from collapsing.

Pfft!

Logat and Anstilla barely withstood the pressure, but Ye Qingxian ended up kneeling on the ground.

"..."

How embarrassing!

Estia released the pressure and stood with her arms crossed, quietly watching the knight.

“Evil dragon, the ransom is in that carriage over there.”

Logat picked up the sword and sheathed it, then went over to untie the princess's ropes, preparing to help her mount the horse.

It turned out that the horses were frightened by the earlier intimidation and had long since disappeared.

Tsk, is this the terrifying aura of a dragon...?

Estia didn't need to confirm the ransom amount, because Lilith had already made arrangements. She simply summoned a teleportation array at the bottom of the carriage, teleporting the entire carriage to the treasure vault of the Netherworld Dragon Abyss.

"Hmph, see you next time..."

Anstella had intended to make some harsh remarks, but ultimately decided against humiliating herself and left the place somewhat disheveled with Logat.

Estia didn't even glance at them. She walked up to Ye Qingxian, who was kneeling on the ground, with a mocking smile on her face.

"Can't even get up? You're so weak."

"I can!"

Ye Qingxian struggled to stand up, but the system warned her that she was in an abnormal state caused by Longwei. She had just straightened up when she wobbled and almost fell again.

"Estella, when did you arrive...?"

"just."

In fact, Estella had been following Ye Qingxian and Anstella the whole time; otherwise, not only would the princess have run away, but all the gold coins would have been taken away as well.

She had initially thought Ye Qingxian would badmouth or criticize her in front of Anstilla, but unexpectedly, Ye Qingxian was defending her? And even wanted to become her friend?

"We should go back. Can you walk by yourself?"

"Of course!"

Although Ye Qingxian said this, her body swayed and she could hardly move forward.

"Don't force yourself if it's not okay."

"I will recover soon."

Ye Qingxian took a few more steps forward, but her body suddenly leaned backward uncontrollably. Just then, Esther grabbed her.

Instead of grabbing his arm, they directly took his hand.

A warm feeling gradually spread from the other person's palm.

Ye Qingxian's body trembled as if she had been electrocuted, her face turned red to her ears, and she looked down at her toes, not daring to look at Esther again.

This was the second time she had held hands with Esther, but the last time it was a hurried handshake and neither of them realized it. This time, however, it was Esther who took the initiative to hold her hand.

What was the silver dragon girl thinking at this moment?

Her cheeks were slightly flushed, but she still held Ye Qingxian's hand tightly to prevent her from falling.

Estia no longer considered Ye Qingxian a stranger; she believed she might be able to make her first human friend.

She didn't see any human greed or desire in Ye Qingxian. After spending the past few days together, she felt that her relationship with Ye Qingxian might even improve a little.

However, she only decided to be ordinary friends with Ye Qingxian, and their relationship would never deepen.

Holding hands between friends is normal.

Section 70, Chapter 065: Because You're So Cute

Estya's change in attitude surprised Ye Qingxian greatly, but her heart was also filled with joy.

The warmth of the silver dragon girl's palm conveyed a signal: she had accepted Ye Qingxian.

Ye Qingxian is currently unable to act independently due to the pressure she suffered earlier, so it is only natural for Esther to hold her hand.

"From now on, you are my friend."

"friend……"

"What, you don't want to?"

Estia turned to look into Ye Qingxian's eyes, a slight smile appearing on her face.

"I am willing."

Ye Qingxian was naturally unwilling; she had long wanted to mend her relationship with Esther, and now her dream had finally come true.

She was simply curious about the reason for Esther's change in attitude.

Holding hands, they could clearly feel each other's heartbeats. At this moment, both girls' heartbeats were different from usual, but neither of them would say it out loud.

No, no...

Estya knew in her heart that even if she considered Ye Qingxian a friend, she would not hold hands with her intimately.

She was closer to everyone in the Netherworld Dragon Abyss, but they hadn't held hands or walked together for a long time.

However, although she had the thought of letting go, she couldn't control her body.

It was autumn, and the roadsides were lined with withered yellow leaves that rustled underfoot, making Esther's thoughts even more chaotic.

Now, when she's alone with Ye Qingxian, she feels a warm sensation in her heart, a feeling she's never experienced before.
