Esper X Family – Chapter 198 – Causing Trouble for the Dayun Truck

Just as Xia Lian was preparing to wait miserably until dawn, a familiar voice reached her ears from outside the window.

“Midnight has passed, Xia Lian. Your sentence is over. You have three seconds to get ready and come with me.”

Xia Lian felt a bit dazed.

She thought she had missed White Catty so much that she was hallucinating.

“Three…”

She could even hear Ye Yao’s voice in her hallucination.

And she could also see the small figure standing outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

“Two…”

Huh?

It’s not a hallucination!

On the balcony, Ye Yao had deliberately taken out her long-dormant black mist form to give Xia Lian a scare.

She had sneaked back to the mansion in her normal state.

Ensuring that she wouldn’t be detected in advance.

Facts had proven that Ye Yao’s plan was very effective.

Xia Lian almost thought it was a hallucination when she heard the voice.

Ye Yao wanted to laugh at Xia Lian’s self-doubt.

But before she could continue speaking.

The figure on the bed moved slightly, and the next second, she lunged at her like a cannonball.

Ye Yao was instantly knocked out of the window.

It was different from being knocked away by the Dayun Truck.

Being knocked away by Xia Lian felt more like being overwhelmed by an overly enthusiastic golden retriever expressing its affection.

If Xia Lian hadn’t held back in time.

Ye Yao suspected that she might die on the spot.

Just like the last time Xia Lian had blasted her away.

Two overlapping figures flew out of the mansion.

Xia Lian landed gracefully with her agile movements, and she couldn’t help but spin around with White Catty in her arms.

“White Catty really didn’t abandon me~ I almost thought I’d been forgotten.”

“Damn it… If I had died just now, I would’ve used my bloody finger to write ’Xia Lian is a cat killer’ on the ground!”

Ye Yao tried to push Xia Lian away.

But with her meager strength, it was impossible.

She could only angrily scold her.

“Stupid dog, let me go!”

“Yes~”

Xia Lian put Ye Yao, whose feet couldn’t touch the ground, down.

She had learned one thing from today’s lesson.

Loving a cat should be done in moderation.

Otherwise, White Catty might hide from her again.

Being isolated was one thing. She could still shamelessly stick close to her.

But if White Catty hid and she couldn’t find her, how could she stick close?

The feeling of being left alone was terrifying!

Ye Yao patted the wrinkles on her clothes after landing.

She glanced at Xia Lian and nodded in satisfaction after confirming that she had reflected.

A bit of progress, but only a bit.

“Xia Lian, I bought a new house outside. It’s more convenient there. Do you want to come?”

“Wherever White Catty is, I will be there!”

Xia Lian remained as steadfast as ever.

Ye Yao rolled her eyes.

“After moving to the new house, my main body and other friends might come over. Don’t scare my friends.”

“Hehe~ I promise I won’t. I’ll be very restrained.”

Xia Lian said with a smile.

Ye Yao secretly glanced at her.

【Xia Lian decided to listen to you to avoid you hiding from her again.】

【Successfully corrected a family member’s bad habit. Reward: 5 attribute points.】

Huh?

You can do that?

Just as Ye Yao was taking a deep breath in surprise.

Xia Lian hugged her from behind, looking all ready to go.

“I’m ready, White Catty. Take me to the new home!”

Ye Yao looked down at Xia Lian’s hands, which were hugging her tightly.

Her feet left the ground as if she was a doll being carried.

She could even feel Xia Lian’s breath on the back of her neck.

Are you doing this on purpose or by accident?

Did you really correct your bad habit or are you just pretending?

Can you even fool the system?

Ye Yao was inwardly shocked.

“What’s wrong, White Catty? Is there a problem?”

Xia Lian asked with a puzzled voice. Loving cats was as natural as breathing for her.

White Catty had ignored her for so long.

Wasn’t it okay to heal her wounded heart a little?

Ye Yao took a deep breath.

Forget it.

At least Xia Lian gave “cat treats” this time.

As long as attribute points were there, everything was fine.

She wouldn’t hiss at her for now.

In the blink of an eye.

Ye Tong brought Xia Lian to a high-end residential complex.

They entered the room directly from the balcony.

Wu Mi and Fang Tang were waiting inside.

After Ye Tong canceled her fission state, she had Wu Mi apply the ouroboros cycle.

The duration of the fission body was limited.

It had to be fissioned again to refresh the timer.

“Alright! From now on, you can all move around freely.

Rеαd оո KаtRеаⅾiոɡСαfе

The Countermeasures Bureau won’t bother you out of their considerations for me.

You can go wherever you want to play, as long as you don’t cause trouble.”

Ye Tong officially announced the arrival of their new life.

Xia Lian looked eager.

“Can I visit White Catty’s house?”

“In principle, yes.”

Ye Tong glanced sideways.

Xia Lian was bold.

She dared to go to the Countermeasures Bureau’s semi-headquarters.

That neighborhood was filled with hidden talents.

There were probably many people who could beat Xia Lian up.

Usually, Lou Wei’s strong presence overshadowed the other hidden experts.

Perhaps only when Lou Wei was unavailable would they come into play.

But it was unlikely that Lou Wei would be unavailable.

That residential complex was originally configured for the worst-case scenario.

As long as Sequence 001 was fine, there probably wouldn’t be a large-scale mobilization.

“The Countermeasures Bureau doesn’t like you, Xia Lian. If you don’t want to be pressured, you’d better restrain yourself.”

Ye Tong warned.

Otherwise, Xia Lian might accidentally bump into other experts while sneaking in.

Xia Lian might be a top-tier figure among the high-risk Sequence list.

But in that residential complex, she might be rated as a minor threat.

“I’m not afraid. White Catty will protect me.”

Xia Lian was full of confidence, not worried at all.

“That’s hard to say.”

Ye Tong shook her head.

How to put it?

In the Countermeasures Bureau’s eyes, Xia Lian was probably a lunatic.

Her Sequence ability’s influence on her personality was too unstable.

Plus, she had once lost control and caused a supernatural disaster.

It was unlikely that they would trust her.

If Xia Lian sneaked in, she might be seen as a bad influence.

Ye Tong could imagine Xiao Jing’s troubled expression.

In another scenario.

Xiao Jing might have pulled Ye Yao aside and warned her not to be friends with a bad woman.

Afraid that her good daughter would be led astray.

“Alright, let’s rest. I’ll disappear for a while. You can figure things out tomorrow.”

Ye Tong said casually.

The implication was that she would return to her main body to refresh the duration.

And avoid being detected by Lou Wei, who was on the verge of a breakthrough.

Once his mental power exceeded the painting’s shielding line.

She would probably have to operate in her black mist form again.

At this moment, the main body was already asleep.

Ye Tong walked to the balcony and stared at the residential complex where the main body was.

The night breeze was cool.

It felt continuous.

Ye Tong gritted her teeth.

She decided to cause some trouble!

Her own slacking was regrettable.

But the Dayun Truck’s progress was even more distressing!

Rat races are ineherently wrong!

Her mental power increased by single digits.

Why did the Dayun Truck’s increase by thousands at once!?

Ye Tong grew angrier the more she thought about it.

“I’m going out. I might not come back.”

The weather’s nice today. Maybe I can take my laptop and start writing outside. Quiet places like libraries should be fine.
