Esper X Family – Chapter 157 – Will Scare People to Death

“Sister, did anything happen?”

“What do you mean, Little Luo?”

Ye Yao could see the worry in Luo Jianhua’s heart and couldn’t resist teasing her a little.

Seeing Ye Yao’s expression, Luo Jianhua thought that she might have been overthinking things.

“I thought Ms. Cheng Muxue had discovered Sister’s secret.”

The girl let out a sigh of relief and smiled thankfully.

“It’s great that Sister hasn’t been exposed.”

Ye Yao cast her a subtle glance.

Little Luo, aren’t you supposed to be a genius from the Countermeasures Bureau?

Why do you seem to have completely forgotten your roots?

If your former teachers find out, won’t they be furious?

Speaking of which, Ye Yao hadn’t forgotten that she still planned to give Luo Jianhua’s teachers a few slaps.

She just hadn’t found the right opportunity yet.

Ye Yao shook her head slightly.

“No, Auntie knows about my disguise. She knows that I’ve been acting.”

“Huh?”

Luo Jianhua’s heart, which had just settled, was now racing again.

She looked a bit flustered.

“Th-Then, what do we do?”

Luo Jianhua knew very well that Ye Yao enjoyed her current lifestyle.

If the Countermeasures Bureau found out about Ye Yao’s disguise and secrets, would they still play along with her game of “house”?

The atmosphere would definitely become very strange.

Luo Jianhua also worried if she would have to leave Ye Yao’s side.

The life she had before was long gone, and she could no longer go back.

Staying by Ye Yao’s side was Luo Jianhua’s true home.

“Don’t worry.”

Ye Yao didn’t tease her too much.

Luo Jianhua seemed to have been molded to her shape.

She didn’t want to overload her small brain with too much thinking.

“Auntie has become one of us!”

Ye Yao did a carp flip ¹ Chinese term for Kip up. I kept it since it fit a salted fish like Ye Yao. , standing up abruptly and crossing her arms as if she had accomplished something grand.

“Huh?”

Luo Jianhua was momentarily stunned, but she quickly reacted, her eyes widening.

There was a hint of disbelief in her expression.

“Are you saying that Ms. Cheng Muxue has been ‘converted’ by you?”

“Exactly! She won’t expose me. She’ll just keep it to herself.

In other words, I haven’t been exposed. I can still crawl around in the shadows!”

In truth, Ye Yao also felt that it was a close call. She had almost been scared to tears at the time.

After all, Cheng Muxue was an S-rank Esper.

She wasn’t as easy to fool as Luo Jianhua.

Looking at it now, it seemed that Ye Yao had managed to raise Cheng Muxue’s favorability quite high.

Not only did Ye Yao allow her to touch and hug, but she was also obedient and sweet.

Add in a few sweetly spoken “Auntie” attacks…

How could Cheng Muxue resist?

Therefore, her being “won over” was inevitable!

Of course, the most important factor was that Ye Yao had acted too harmless.

If she had started off as a demon child descending upon the world ² Nezha reference. .

Or if she had played the role of a mischievous brat.

Her aunt wouldn’t have been so easily convinced.

She might have quickly informed other Espers in the Countermeasures Bureau.

It just goes to show that acting cute can be quite useful.

Although Ye Yao was genuinely cute.

Rеad оո КаtReaԁіոɡСаfе

She had maximized the use of her excellent modeling without any waste.

“Sister is amazing~”

Luo Jianhua was truly impressed.

S-rank Espers weren’t easy to fool.

To just casually “convert” an S-rank Esper…

No wonder Cheng Muxue had given her such a meaningful look before leaving.

If there was a first, there might be a second.

Soon, only a few people might remain in the dark.

The higher-ups might wake up one day to find that all their subordinates had defected.

Luo Jianhua even thought that Ye Yao could declare herself the emperor of the Countermeasures Bureau.

“Does Ms. Cheng Muxue know all of Sister’s secrets?”

Luo Jianhua pressed further.

She was still a bit curious about this.

After all, Ye Yao’s secrets were divided into big and small ones.

Their significance was not the same.

Luo Jianhua still didn’t know how much Ye Yao was hiding.

It was all very mysterious.

Ye Yao shook her head gently.

“Auntie only knows about my disguise.”

Cheng Muxue seemed to be a person of character.

She didn’t ask unnecessary questions.

She only confirmed whether Ye Yao had invaded the mental network and didn’t ask further.

She didn’t even mention if it was the effects of her ability.

Ye Yao had prepared a whole explanation at the cost of overloading her pig brain, but there was no chance to use it.

Luo Jianhua let out a sigh of relief.

“That’s good.”

Rеаd οո ΚαtRеαԁіոɡСаfе

This way, she still knew the most secrets.

Such as Sequence Zero, or the split body…

Which of these wasn’t a heavyweight?

Her status hadn’t dropped at all!

“By the way, how did Ms. Cheng Muxue find out about Sister’s secret?”

Luo Jianhua was a bit confused.

How did it suddenly get exposed out of nowhere?

“Maybe it’s because I accidentally intruded Auntie and others’ mind network meetings a few times. That’s how they noticed.”

Luo Jianhua: “?”

Although she didn’t know how Ye Yao managed to do it, it wasn’t surprising that she was exposed after such antics.

【Luo Jianhua thinks that you have been seeking death.】

Now, it was Ye Yao’s turn to have question marks.

Damn it!

Wasn’t that the system’s fault?

I absolutely refuse to take the blame for this!

“My ability went out of control… yes, it’s the ability’s fault! It’s all on the ability!”

After all, the system wasn’t something easy to explain.

She might as well treat it as an ability.

【Fission】should be separated, not allowed to sit on the same table as the Found Family System.

“Out of control?”

Luo Jianhua couldn’t help but shiver at those words.

That wasn’t something to joke about.

Who knew if Sequence 001’s ability going out of control might cause the Earth to explode on the spot.

It would scare people to death.

“Sister, it’s better to not joke about such things. It’s a bit scary…”

Luo Jianhua gave her a reproachful look.

“Anyway, it’s not my fault.”

“Yes, yes, Sister was just careless. It’s all the ability’s fault.”

Faced with Ye Yao’s sudden childishness.

Luo Jianhua was pretty much used to it.

It was these occasional little quirks that made Ye Yao feel so approachable.

Therefore, Luo Jianhua was more than happy to cater to Ye Yao’s moods.

She enjoyed the process of being together and interacting together.

Wasn’t this much better than being stuck in the Countermeasures Bureau, grinding away from morning until night?

Ye Yao’s mood finally improved a lot.

With a practiced motion, she sat back down and rested her head on the pillow.

“Little Luo, sit down too. You can lean on me. I’ll share some interesting things that happened recently.”

Ye Yao opened her arms, waiting for Luo Jianhua to throw herself into her embrace.

Luo Jianhua’s eyes lit up, her gaze clearly filled with anticipation.

She had always been inseparable from Ye Yao.

She knew almost everything that had happened on this side.

The only thing she didn’t know was how Ye Yao’s fission body was doing on the other side.

What Ye Yao wanted to share was probably about that.

Luo Jianhua had been looking forward to this for a long time, so she obediently moved closer and nestled into Ye Yao’s arms, like a younger sister acting spoiled with her older sister.

“I’m ready, Sister. How many interesting things are there?”

Ye Yao hugged Luo Jianhua tightly, taking a deep breath as if she was hugging a soft, warm pillow.

“There’s plenty. It might take a while to finish.”

“We can take our time. We can even make it a bedtime story tonight.”
