Esper X Family – Chapter 120 – Promoting to C-rank!

Luo Jianhua brought the reheated meal back to her room.

Fortunately, Lou Wei wasn’t home.

Xiao Jing wasn’t in the living room or kitchen either.

Reheating the meal probably wouldn’t raise any suspicions.

“Are you going to eat by yourself, Sister?”

“Feed me~”

Ye Yao opened her mouth wide, looking like she didn’t want to move at all.

She resembled a little creature waiting to be fed.

She had completely burnt herself out in the world of cycles.

She urgently needed to replenish her slacking off energy.

Currently, she was too lazy to even move.

Being fed by a little loli was much more comfortable.

Luo Jianhua could see that Ye Yao was exhausted and naturally nodded in agreement.

“It seems that Sister has completely burned out.”

“Mm, burned out, turned into pure white ash.”

“I’m relieved that you can still joke.”

Luo Jianhua smiled and sat beside Ye Yao, scooping up a spoonful of food and bringing it to Ye Yao’s open mouth.

Ye Yao took it in her mouth and chewed, her cheeks moving adorably.

“Delish~”

“Sister is like a hamster.”

“ Mmph~ Mmph~ First a cat, now a hamster. Can’t I just be human?”

Ye Yao swallowed the food and couldn’t help but complain, then immediately opened her mouth again.

This begging-for-food look nearly melted Luo Jianhua on the spot.

“It’s because Sister is too cute. Cats and hamsters are the epitome of cuteness in the animal kingdom, so they’re perfect metaphors for you.”

“Is that so? I guess I’ll have to accept it then.”

Ye Yao accepted the praise without a hint of modesty.

Even she was captivated by her own stunning beauty.

Modesty was out of the question.

Ye Yao casually asked, “Did anything happen at home today?”

“No, the only problem was that Sister slept for too long.

I managed to gloss over dinner time.

Fortunately, Sister usually stays in her room playing games.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t know what to do.”

Luo Jianhua’s expression turned slightly resentful.

It seemed that she was under quite a bit of pressure.

She had concealed Ye Yao’s abnormality under the watchful eyes of so many big shots.

If it weren’t for her strong mental fortitude, she might have slipped up.

“You’ve worked hard.”

Ye Yao placed her hand on Luo Jianhua’s head and gently patted her.

After helping so much, she definitely deserved some positive feedback.

“If you have any requests, Little Luo, feel free to ask me. I’ll try to fulfill them.”

Ye Yao sounded like a nouveau riche who had struck it rich overnight.

Her expression was extremely generous.

Her gains in the world of cycles were substantial.

She couldn’t help but feel delighted.

“Is Sister going to reward me?”

Luo Jianhua looked surprised.

“Shouldn’t Little Luo be rewarded? I’m not a heartless capitalist. Feel free to say what’s on your mind.”

“Then, when will Sister take me to meet the friends you’ve made outside?”

As soon as these words were spoken.

Ye Yao instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

Her expression betrayed her guilt.

Her confident tone instantly weakened.

“I-I’ll take you to meet them when there’s a chance… It’s not the right time yet…”

【Luo Jianhua hopes that you will take her to meet Wu Mi and the others.

She is also somewhat resentful that you have been involved with so many high-risk Sequence Espers.

Luo Jianhua wants to see if there are any bad influences among them.

As your little sister, she wants to ensure that you are not being led astray.】

Ye Yao naturally didn’t expect to keep this hidden from Luo Jianhua, who knew many secrets.

But since Luo Jianhua hadn’t asked, Ye Yao hadn’t brought it up.

Now that Luo Jianhua suddenly mentioned it, Ye Yao couldn’t help but feel guilty.

“Sister, you don’t need to be so nervous.”

Luo Jianhua couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Let’s talk about it when there’s a chance. It’s indeed not the time to be too conspicuous yet. Too many people are watching you.”

“Mm, mn!”

Ye Yao immediately perked up and focused on eating!

On the other side.

Sequence Zero’s Ye Yao also woke up.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Wu Mi’s face.

The moment their eyes met.

Wu Mi’s expression lit up with joy.

“Ye Yao, you’re finally awake! Are you hungry?

Mu Luo brought back some food. Should I feed you?”

There’s another loli offering to feed me?

Not bad~

Turning her head, she saw another figure standing nearby.

Sure enough, it was Xia Lian.

“White Catty, you’ve finally come back to life. I almost thought you were going stiff ¹ Stiff as in not moving, like a corpse. But the word used here can also mean the stiff for men… .”

Xia Lian slowly exhaled and couldn’t resist teasing her.

“You’re the one who’s going stiff.” Ye Yao shot back.

She suddenly felt as if everyone was saying she was dead.

Xia Lian smiled in satisfaction. “White Catty can still hiss so energetically. You’re definitely fine.”

“You really enjoy being hissed at, don’t you?”

“Hehe~ I love hearing White Catty hiss.”

Xia Lian looked proud, then shifted to talk about serious matters.

“Who would’ve thought such a big thing would happen this time.

The Countermeasures Bureau is indeed untrustworthy. They almost took my two cats down with them.”

As she spoke, her face was filled with displeasure.

Although it was the mole’s fault, the Countermeasures Bureau had to bear a part of the blame.

“Mm. But in a way, Wu Mi actually benefited from this misfortune.”

Ye Yao glanced at Wu Mi’s status panel.

【Ability: Cycle

Mental Power: 3,205】

Soaring to the heavens in one step!

Even Ye Yao was envious of this leap.

The Sanctuary definitely didn’t expect their plan to backfire so spectacularly.

Not only did they fail to harm Wu Mi, but they even delivered her a huge gift.

Of course, this probably couldn’t be replicated.

Wu Mi’s ability was too unique.

She was a mechanism monster among mechanism monsters.

Able to use the ouroboros cycle to resist its negative effects.

Anyone else would have been killed by that sinister mental power long ago.

Then, Ye Yao checked her own gains.

The system had unlocked a new function.

After the Black Mist Form and Family Hero Mode…

There was now an “Encouragement” skill.

It was essentially the reverse of Family Hero Mode.

Once certain conditions were met, she could temporarily lend her stats to others.

In some ways, it was a very useful function.

After all, Ye Yao’s ability was too extreme.

In many situations, brute force wasn’t enough, and there was little she could do.

Lending her stats to someone with a more versatile ability offered greater flexibility.

Ye Yao was very satisfied with this.

The useless system hadn’t disappointed her this time.

Of course, the rewards didn’t end there.

【Congratulations on permanently freeing your family from her psychological shadow. Through your efforts, you have successfully built an unbreakable emotional bridge with Wu Mi. Reward: 15 attribute points.】

【Unallocated Attribute Points: 30】

Ye Yao couldn’t suppress her smile.

Wu Mi’s mental power has surpassed three thousand now.

No matter how she allocated her points, she couldn’t surpass Wu Mi’s base stats.

So, why hold back on mental power anymore?

Add them all!

【Mental Power: 75 → 105】

Her mental power smoothly advanced to C-rank.

There were no obstacles.

For Ye Yao, those so-called bottlenecks simply didn’t exist.

This completely verified that point.

At this moment, Wu Mi’s voice sounded in her ear.

“Ye Yao, what should we do about the Countermeasures Bureau?

It seems that more people have been controlled by the ouroboros cycle this time…”

“We’ll deal with it tomorrow. While we’re at it, we’ll also demand an answer from them.”

Ye Yao was brimming with confidence now.

With her current base mental power, a single fission would allow her to surpass Lou Wei’s base stats.

Who’s the real Dayun now?

Speak up!

Even if Lou Wei showed up in person, she wouldn’t be afraid!

No.

She needed to find a chance to challenge the Dayun Truck.

Ye Yao wanted to see if she could become invincible under heaven now!
