Esper X Family – Chapter 141 – Beginning to Take a Sugar Form
The night passed quietly.
Fang Tang seemed to have already adapted to her new life.
Early in the morning, she came knocking on the door.
“Cat! Time to get up!”
“Just come on in…”
Ye Yao’s groggy voice came from inside the room.
Fang Tang opened the door and peeked in, only to find three people inside!
Ye Yao yawned as she sat on the edge of the bed, looking like she had just woken up, while Xia Lian combed her hair.
Wu Mi was resting her head on Ye Yao’s lap, eyes closed.
She seemed to be catching up on sleep, or perhaps waiting for her turn to get her hair combed.
In any case, Xia Lian had a monopoly on this kind of service.
She had legitimate reason to sneak into the room.
It was fine as long as she didn’t disturb their sleep.
Fang Tang stared at this strange scene, lost in thought.
It was as if a mental storm was raging on her head.
Could it be… that the three of them slept together last night!?
Wasn’t it crowded?
Ye Yao glanced sideways.
Fang Tang’s thoughts had reached her mind.
In the entire Sequence Zero, only Ye Yao could hear Fang Tang’s thoughts.
After all, Ye Yao was the only one whose normal mental power was lower than Fang Tang’s.
She could hear them from time to time.
It saved her the trouble of using the Found Family System to read her mind.
To prevent Fang Tang from overthinking, Ye Yao explained.
“To be precise, there’s only two people. Xia Lian probably snuck in early this morning.”
Xia Lian: “Heh Heh~”
Fang Tang’s small mouth opened slightly, and her eyes gradually lit up with excitement.
“Me, me, me! Can I join too? It sounds fun!”
Ye Yao: “?”
Not everything has to be fun!

Ye Yao had never imagined that she would share a bed with two girls in such a short time.
Was her character modeling too excellent?
It seems that Fang Tang is also a little loli who acts on impulse.
At that moment, the system’s voice rang in Ye Yao’s mind.
【Host has successfully changed Fang Tang’s current situation. She is now full of anticipation for the future, and you have given her the opportunity to seek joy. Reward: 5 attribute points.】
Ye Yao’s words of refusal was stuck in her throat.
On second thought.
Since she had already paid the friendship fee.
It wouldn’t be right to reject this little pink-haired girl.
“Suit yourself.”
Ye Yao glanced at the 1.8-meter-wide bed 1 King size, apparently. .
All three girls were petite.
It shouldn’t be too crowded.
As long as their sleeping postures weren’t too strange.
Wu Mi’s sleeping posture was very well-behaved, and Fang Tang probably wouldn’t be that strange either.
Perhaps Fang Tang would find it boring and return to her own room later.
She was probably just seeking novelty.
“Great! Can we chat and tell stories before bed?”
Fang Tang couldn’t help but lean in, already looking forward to tonight.
Ye Yao faintly caught a sweet scent from her.
It smelled like candy.
Truly living up to her name 2 Her name is literally ‘sugar cube’. I’m not kidding. .
“You can chat if you want. We won’t be falling asleep anytime soon.”
“Mhm! Leave the bedtime stories to me!”
Fang Tang patted her chest confidently, looking extremely self-assured.
Wu Mi couldn’t help but open her eyes and glance at her.
Yesterday’s guess was indeed correct.
This kid was prone to clinging to Ye Yao.
It had taken Wu Mi a long time to suggest sleeping together.
Yet, Fang Tang had brought it up the very next day.

The progress was lightning-fast.
But she didn’t seem like much of a threat.
Ever since Wu Mi’s mental power broke through 3,000, she had become incredibly confident.
Her status in Sequence Zero was quite high.
As Ye Yao had put it, she was an “extra large cup”.
Little Fang Tang was at the bottom.
Sharing a bit of Ye Yao’s favor wasn’t a problem.
Wu Mi closed her eyes again, continuing to rest her head on Ye Yao’s lap, waiting for her turn to have her hair combed.
She felt like she was being influenced by Ye Yao.
Slacking off was truly enjoyable.
“Alright~ Next cat, please.”
Xia Lian was immersed in combing fur 3 毛mao can mean fur or hair. I use fur here since she treats everyone as cats or dogs. .
She didn’t voice any thoughts on Fang Tang’s inclusion.
After all, she was fully satisfied.
Xia Lian couldn’t even imagine how adorable it would be to sneak into the room and see three kittens cuddling for warmth on the bed.
It was just one more cat to comb.
The more, the merrier!
Moments later, the four of them descended down the stairs.
It was still early.
But everyone was already up.
Gu Wenxin was swinging his sword in the front yard.
It gave off the vibe of an old man practicing Tai Chi in the park.
Jiang Huashen had moved his easel to the backyard to paint.
It seemed like his daily routine to maintain his skills through sketching.
What about Mu Luo?
He seemed to have gone out to buy breakfast for everyone.
Eating out was reserved for lunch and dinner.
“It’s still early. Let’s think about how to solve Fang Tang’s problem.”
Rеaⅾ oո ΚаtRеaԁіnɡCafe
The four of them gathered around a small table to discuss.
Logically, they should have called the others.
But Gu Wenxin’s versatility was too low to qualify for a seat.
Jiang Huashen was sketching, and it wasn’t good to disturb him.
Mu Luo was out buying breakfast.
So, it was just the four of them for now.
Fang Tang also knew that her problem was significant and scratched her head sheepishly.
“Are you going to teach me how to control my power?”
Ye Yao glanced at her sideways.
She could tell at a glance that this little pink-haired girl was a bit clueless.
Judging from her words, the Countermeasures Bureau likely leaned toward letting Fang Tang learn to control her ability on her own.
But there had been no progress.
“That method is too inefficient. We’ll help you seal the problem for now, and you can solve it later when you have the ability and time.”
Ye Yao had no intention of keeping Fang Tang at home indefinitely.
Team-building should be done together.
But Fang Tang was prone to being accidentally hit by stray AoE attacks.
It was like playing a game with friendly fire enabled.
A stray skill could easily take Fang Tang out.
Hearing Ye Yao’s words, Fang Tang’s eyes lit up.
Her previously troubled expression brightened considerably.
“Cat! You’re amazing. I’ll follow you forever!”
“Praise me more, Human. As long as you stick with me, you’ll never lack cat food.”
The biggest problem with communicating with Fang Tang was that it was easy to become as ‘sugary’ as her.
Ye Yao was beginning to take on a sugar form.
Wu Mi hesitated, wanting to join the conversation with a similar line.
But she couldn’t bring herself to say it.
She really didn’t know how Ye Yao could smoothly utter such lines.
Then, Xia Lian pointed out the issue.
“But how are we going to seal the problem?”
Ye Yao glanced at the attention-seeking cat enthusiast.
Rеаԁ οո KαtReаԁinɡCafе
Logically, Xia Lian’s versatility was too low to deserve a seat here.
Yet, she had shamelessly joined in anyway.
Ah, the ugly side of cat lovers.
“I’ve already thought of a way.”
Ye Yao was brimming with confidence.
“We can try it now.”
The white-haired girl stood up, showcasing her extraordinary initiative.
In the next moment.
Attribute Fission.
Her mental power instantly surpassed 10,000.
Xia Lian: “Wow, World Catty form!”
Ignoring Xia Lian’s strange comment, Ye Yao locked her gaze on Fang Tang.
In this state, she could easily see the manifestation of the ability【Resonance】.
Overflowing mental power flowed through the air like sound waves.
It seemed to be searching for a target to resonate with.
Fortunately, Attribute Fission was a self-targeting skill.
Fang Tang’s ability couldn’t share the effect.
Ye Yao also had the Myriad Things Fission skill, which could be used externally.
It might trigger a strange reaction in Fang Tang.
However, this carried significant risks.
If Fang Tang’s mental power shared the fission, it might just explode.
Ye Yao couldn’t guarantee that she could handle the fallout.
For now, she just needed to use her overwhelming stats to temporarily suppress Fang Tang’s overflowing mental power.
When it comes to solving problems with brute force…
“Wu Mi, get ready for our thrilling combo move.”
