Miss Dragon, the BOSS, will not be captured.

"I can grant you access, but you need to keep a low profile."

"Don't worry, I understand."

"Hoo..." Ling gently stroked her hair. "I've already agreed to this, and you still don't trust me?"

"Ah."

"why?"

"Do you want to hear something serious, or something unserious?"

"Of course it's serious."

"Okay, the reason is that you, as the world's AI, are a bit too unconventional."

"what?!"

Ling had a look on her face that said, "Are you serious?"

"If I don't use the term AI to refer to you, perhaps I could call you the world administrator? This world is in your hands, and you can manipulate everything if you want."

"That's not how it is..."

"Let me continue." The silver dragon girl finally had the chance to say what she had been holding in her heart. "In any case, the world administrator in my mind should be wise, knowledgeable and kind, not someone like you who does nothing productive all day long."

"You're talking nonsense! When have I ever stopped doing serious work?"

"How did I steal those privileged items from you? Why didn't you notice and stop me at the time? Wasn't it because you were addicted to playing games?"

"Gurgle..."

"I suspect you're deliberately pretending to be so stupid, intentionally showing me your lax side, and perhaps to more people, so that they'll lower their guard against you."

Estya has personal relationships with many of the top powerhouses on the continent of Faya. These powerful individuals, who stand at the pinnacle of strength among mortal races, almost all maintain a wary attitude towards the world's AI.

Who would have thought that the world's administrators have been operating under the guise of a young girl? Okay, even if she looks like a young girl, why does she often act like a child?

"Do you really think I'm that bad?"

The white-haired girl seemed deeply traumatized. It wasn't just Estya who didn't trust her; almost all the powerful mortals she had met distrusted her to some extent, even though she had always maintained a friendly attitude.

What saddened her even more was that she was not trusted because everyone thought she was frivolous.

"You've helped me a lot, so I don't dislike you, but I still can't trust you."

This sounds incredible. As a mortal race, Estia is not on the same level as Ling, a world administrator. If Ling wanted to, he could easily eliminate her.

From another perspective, the relationship between Esther and Ling can even be described as that between a creator and a creator, and there is no question of trust or distrust between them.

"Then I will try to gain your trust."

The white-haired little girl's eyes were filled with determination.

"How? By playing a prank to scare me?"

"Of course, in the normal way."

"You can't really come to the mortal world often, can you?"

"Yeah...wait, how did you know?"

"It's simple. You are not the highest-ranking being in this world. Above you, isn't there something called..."

Estia didn't continue speaking because she knew Ling had already understood what she was saying.

There's no need to waste words on things that everyone already knows.

The sudden digitization of the world, the sudden appearance of players, and the various mechanisms and functions called "game systems" mean that the entire world is actually a game played by people from another world.

Estya had learned about the term "virtual reality" from Ye Qingxian, and she understood what her own fate and even the fate of the entire Faya continent were.

"To be honest, the reason I just gave for not trusting you was actually a non-serious one. The real reason is that, as the world's AI, you are definitely someone who is aware of the sudden changes happening in the world."

"what?"

"No one is born wanting to be enslaved, and the stronger our mortal races become, the more we will understand this principle."

“You are not enslaved.”

“Isn’t this already?” Esther retorted. “For example, I exist as a boss in a dungeon, and I have to act according to some pre-set mechanics so that players who suddenly appear can take me down. Sometimes I’m even forced to accept quests. Isn’t that enslavement?”

"If you wish, I can delete the Netherworld Dragon Abyss instance, and you and your men can live in peace forever."

"This kind of thing is meaningless. You can liberate me, but can you liberate everyone else?"

"..."

"From our perspective, you're helping people from another world manage us, which is actually..."

"In that world's terms, it's aiding and abetting evil, right?"

"Yes, aiding and abetting evil."

The white-haired little girl turned away sadly, unable to utter a single word.

Who could understand her predicament? How could she not want to liberate the world? But she was utterly powerless.

Long, long ago, she had already given up resisting, because as an AI, she herself was invented by humans from another world. She was the creator of the continent of Faya, but humans from another world were also her creators. How could she dare to disobey the creator's orders?

So we're all just data?

"Yes, you're right, Esther, you are all data, and so am I."

"But in my eyes, you are all living, breathing people."

Ye Qingxian's voice came softly from the ground. She had woken up sometime earlier and had been listening for a while.

Ling immediately took out her black inflatable hammer, but Estya snatched it away first and slammed it on her head.

"Stop messing around! When are you going to be serious?"

"It doesn't really have any impact..."

Ling felt a little aggrieved, as no one could tell that her true identity was actually the world administrator.

“I heard everything you said.”

Ye Qingxian stood up and walked to Esther. "So what if it's data? I'm willing to stay with you forever."

"Xiao Ye..."

"I am very touched by the relationship between the two of you, but I want to say that Ye Qingxian's physical body is not in this world; she has only brought her spirit here."

"So... my current body is also made up of data?" Ye Qingxian asked.

"Of course, the whole world is data, even light and darkness are data. This is a game world."

Everyone already knows the truth, but it feels incredibly cruel every time it's spoken.

Estia asked what was perhaps an idiotic question: "Is there any way for me to go to Xiaoye's world?"

“Absolutely impossible.” Ling shook her head. “You still don’t understand the difference between the game world and the real world.”

As an Earthling, Ye Qingxian could easily understand this concept. She explained to Esther, "You can imagine that you drew a little person on a piece of paper, but that little person can't jump out of the paper and talk to you like a normal person..."

In Ye Qingxian's view, the difference between the virtual reality world and reality is really just the "dimensional wall." It's just that due to high technology, the virtual world's realism is infinitely close to reality, but its essence has not changed.

"I see……"

Estia's heart was pounding. She refused to accept her fate. The destruction of the kingdom and the loss of her family had been imposed upon her, and she had survived. Now, fate had created an insurmountable chasm between her and the person she loved.

No, she was determined to find a way to break through, even if the possibility was extremely slim, she would try.

Section 127, Chapter 120: The Farewell Kiss

Ling left, saying she had things to do, but I don't know if it was because she was hurt.

“Estella…”

Ye Qingxian could clearly sense the confusion of the dragon girl in front of her.

Although Esther had already discovered the truth, she still felt very uncomfortable when she received a direct confirmation from the World AI.

As her lover, Ye Qingxian felt it was necessary for her to cheer up.

So Ye Qingxian stood in front of Esther, made her look at him, and then said with utmost seriousness, "You're an idiot."

"What did you say?"

This earnest "idiot" made Esther a little angry.

"You're such an idiot, nyah nyah nyah!"

Ye Qingxian turned around and patted Estya's buttocks. This was a provocation, and a very serious one at that.

When had the proud silver dragon girl ever been provoked like this before? Even if the other party was someone she liked, it wouldn't be acceptable!

"You want to pat my butt, huh? I'll spank you until your butt is a bloody mess!"

"Stupid dragon!"

Ye Qingxian used her bard skills to escape from the cave. The bard is a support-oriented class that can use various music and notes to buff themselves and their teammates.

Therefore, Ye Qingxian used all the acceleration skills she could, making her running speed several times faster than normal.

Because it had rained the night before, the ground outside was muddy. Ye Qingxian didn't care as she stepped into the mud, and instead turned back to mock Esther: "Stupid dragon! Can you catch me?"

She wore bard's boots and wasn't too afraid of the muddy ground, but Estia was different; she wore little leather shoes on her small feet.

Estia wanted to use magic to prevent the mud from getting on her body, but at that moment Ye Qingxian made a terrible mistake.

"Are you angry? If you're angry, come and catch me, you stupid dragon, you clumsy dragon, you fat dragon."

boom!

Estella's heart snapped; she only heard the last word of Ye Qingxian's sentence.

This is the first time anyone has dared to call her that!

As Ye Qingxian was running, she suddenly felt a terrifying aura coming from behind her. She turned around and saw that Esther was radiating black energy, the kind that could be seen with the naked eye!

Then she felt her body suddenly rest on a soft object. When she looked up, she saw that Esther was standing in front of her!
