Miss Dragon, the BOSS, will not be captured.

Puff stuffed cookies into Ye Qingxian's mouth; this was already the umpteenth time.

"Thanks……"

After fighting outside all day, Ye Qingxian was a little hungry. The cookies not only failed to fill her stomach, but also whetted her appetite.

After saying goodbye to the cream puffs, Ye Qingxian headed home, which was Estya's home and, for now, her temporary "home."

Entering from the entrance of the Netherworld Dragon Abyss, there is a mailbox every 100 meters along the road, which Ye Qingxian has complained about countless times.

It's a little past 8 PM now, which is peak time for players to be online in the game "Faya Continent".

Ye Qingxian checked her friend list. The guild leader was still not online. Although she was the guild leader of the Leisure Guild, she was also the least leisurely of all the guild members. She should be online every day.

Ye Qingxian lost all means of communication with the outside world. She repeatedly studied the system on her body. Although she had gained a life indicator, she had lost the function of emergency communication with the outside world.

A white envelope icon suddenly appeared at the top of the mailbox, indicating that there was new mail.

Ye Qingxian quickly ran over to check, and it turned out to be Luo Huawu again, but this time, the content of Luo Huawu's email was very different from before.

Luo Huawu: What's going on with you? Are you Ye Qingxian herself?

Luo Huawu had already logged off when she was lying in bed scrolling through her phone when she suddenly saw a news headline announcing the list of recently missing citizens and confirming that they had all died a few days ago.

This was the first time Luo Huawu had ever clicked on a news article, yet it was one she would remember for a lifetime.

Ye Qingxian's name was prominently listed among the missing persons!

She broke out in a cold sweat on the spot. She initially thought it was just a coincidence of names, since according to the specific date provided in the news, when she met Ye Qingxian in the game, the real-life Ye Qingxian was already dead.

However, after seeing the photos and basic information of the missing person provided in the news, Luo Huawu confirmed that it was Ye Qingxian.

Section 82, Chapter 076: An Unexpected Meeting with the Parents

Ye Qingxian didn't immediately realize what was going on, so she could only compose an email asking Luo Huawu to explain the situation in detail.

"Luo Huawu: Are you Ye Qingxian? Do you live at xxx?"

Shocking! How did Luo Huawu know where her home was?!

Ye Qingxian remembered that she should not have told Luo Huawu about the real situation. How did she find out?

Ye Qingxian: It's me, so what?

"Luo Huawu: Are you a human or a ghost...? Do you even know you're dead?"

Ye Qingxian: Huh? I'm doing just fine.

"Luo Huawu: The news says the bodies have all been cremated."

Ye Qingxian: ??????

Today shouldn't be April Fool's Day, right? What is Luo Huawu saying?

Moreover, Luo Huawu had no need to make such pointless jokes with her.

Ye Qingxian asked her to send screenshots of real-world news into the game. Although the game explicitly forbids discussing information related to reality, she and Luo Huawu were chatting privately. Moreover, as a doujinshi artist, Luo Huawu was experienced in avoiding system censorship, so sending a news screenshot was a piece of cake for her.

Shortly after, Luo Huawu sent over a screenshot of the news. When Ye Qingxian saw that everyone on the list had been marked as dead, her head suddenly went blank.

She couldn't possibly be dead, because she's alive and well now; it must be fake news!

However, there had indeed been no news from her mother and the president for many days. When she saw the words "deceased," Ye Qingxian's body began to tremble violently.

What actually happened?

Ye Qingxian was about to ask for more information when the system notified her that Luo Huawu had logged off.

Could it be...?

Ye Qingxian's heart started racing instantly. Impossible, right? She's just an ordinary person. No one would target her, would they?

Feeling lost, she started posting for help on the player forum, but before she could get a response, the post was automatically deleted by the system because discussing real life is prohibited in the game.

What are you doing here?

"Ouch!"

Estya's voice suddenly rang out from behind, startling Ye Qingxian so much that she fell to the ground with a thud.

"Such a big reaction? Are you afraid I'll eat you?"

The silver dragon girl found it amusing, walked up to Ye Qingxian, squatted down, and slowly brought her face closer.

"I, I... Estya!"

Overwhelmed with emotion, Ye Qingxian suddenly threw herself into Estya's arms, an action that greatly surprised the silver dragon girl.

"I'm so scared, so worried, I don't know what to do..."

"Calm down first, and tell me what happened, okay?"

Estia noticed many eyes watching her. She glanced at the bushes in the darkness and immediately heard rustling sounds. The voyeurs in the shadows fled.

Without a doubt, those guys are all demons from the Netherworld Dragon Abyss. I don't know who started the rumor, but ever since Ye Qingxian moved into her house, everyone has been saying that she found a human mate.

Clearly, her relationship with Ye Qingxian is far from that point. Rumors stop with the wise, but unfortunately, there aren't many intelligent people in the entire Youjing Longyuan.

With Estya's comfort, Ye Qingxian told Estya the information provided by Luo Huawu.

"Okay, don't be too scared. You can ask someone you know to investigate in real life."

“I contacted the president before, and then the president also appeared on the missing persons list.”

Ye Qingxian thought she was an ordinary person, so could someone be targeting her? But why did everything seem to be preventing her from finding the truth?

"This is troublesome."

Estia discovered that although she was a top fighter on the continent of Faya, she was completely unable to interfere with another world.

Just as she was feeling extremely anxious, Ye Qingxian received another email.

The sender of this email was a stranger.

"Shangshanruoshui (game name): Xiaoye? Did you receive this email? I'm sorry Mom is only contacting you now. Some things have happened. Let's talk in person in the game. To verify your identity, your ID number is..., your favorite food is..., and I bought you something for your birthday last year..."

Ye Qingxian was stunned. Was this an email from her mother?

The content of the email matched perfectly, and the style of the username was exactly the kind that a mother would come up with.

Ding~ Shangshan Ruoshui requests to add you as a friend.

"what happened?"

Seeing that Ye Qingxian was standing there motionless, Estia waved her hand in front of her eyes.

"My mom seems to be online? But the news in reality is..."

Just then, another email arrived—

"Shangshan Ruoshui (game name): Xiaoye, the situation is very special right now. You, me, and that girl named Mo Yuhan have been arranged to 'die,' but don't worry, this is only a nominal death. I will explain the details to you in person."

After reading the email, Ye Qingxian's doubts deepened. What had her mother gone through? What had actually happened?

I'm afraid I'll only know the answer when I see my mother.

Ye Qingxian hesitated for a moment before telling Esther about it.

"Your mother has come into this world? Then go and see her."

"But I'm afraid it's a trap."

"I'll go with you."

Estia placed her hand on Ye Qingxian's shoulder and patted her, telling her not to worry.

Although she cannot influence another world, she has never been afraid of anyone in this world, except for the world's AI.

Ye Qingxian's mother was probably worried that her daughter didn't believe her, so she used the game's recording function to send Ye Qingxian a new email.

The middle-aged woman in the video looks very young. She is dressed in the kind of outfit that only beginners wear, and the background seems to be in a beginner village.

"Xiao Ye! It really is Mom! I'm waiting for you to come find me."

"mom……"

Ye Qingxian blurted out, then realized it was a video.

"Let me see what your mother looks like?"

Estia came closer, but unfortunately the video in the email could only be viewed by Ye Qingxian herself. From Estia's perspective, Ye Qingxian was just standing there in a daze.

"No, no need... I feel a little embarrassed."

"We'll have to meet them sooner or later anyway." After saying this, Esther suddenly realized that there might have been a misunderstanding, and quickly corrected herself: "I didn't mean that we should meet each other's parents as lovers, but that I'm going to accompany you to meet your mother later."

"I know……"

"Although I allow you to pursue me, there is absolutely no relationship between us right now!"

"Uh-huh!"

The two turned their heads away in perfect unison, their cheeks slightly flushed.

"Ooh ooh ooh ooh!"

Suddenly, a girl's voice came from the shadows. There was more than one voice, and it was obvious that it belonged to the monsters.

"One is proud and aloof, the other is timid and weak. They have feelings for each other, but neither of them takes the initiative. How long will it take for this to progress?"

I don't know which monster girl was making a loud complaint.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Who's the tsundere here?!"

Estia raised her hand and unleashed thousands upon thousands of ice spikes in the direction from which the sound came, immediately followed by countless wails of agony.

"I am the Lord of the Netherworld, how could I possibly have any affection for an ordinary human... Hmph!"

Despite saying that, Esther didn't dare look at Ye Qingxian's face again, and Ye Qingxian opposite her also lowered her head shyly.

"All of you monsters must each hand over 1 contribution points to me tomorrow!" Regardless of who was watching, Estia announced her punishment. "If you don't pay enough, I won't be feeding you anymore!"

Upon hearing this news, all the monsters that had been secretly observing began to run away. They were eager to accumulate 1 contribution points so they wouldn't go hungry later.
