Esper X Family – Chapter 21 – Fully Recovered

Ye Yao had no intention of getting entangled with the Espers from the Countermeasures Bureau.

If her identity were discovered, and her “stat monster” dad got wind of it, she would be done for.

Ye Yao still didn’t have the ability to pull off a ‘Frostmourne ¹ Arthas’s weapon in World of Warcraft. He killed his father and mentor with it. ’ scenario.

【Rescue task completed. Reward: 5 attribute points. Bond with Mo Qiuli has increased.】

Good.

The task is finally done.

Mercury was covered in injuries, which was heartbreaking to see.

But Ye Yao couldn’t go over to show concern.

As long as there was no life-threatening danger, that was enough.

As for the Espers from the Countermeasures Bureau…

They seemed to be eyeing her menacingly.

But they hadn’t made a move yet, probably waiting for reinforcements.

Soon, some big shots she couldn’t handle might show up.

“Heh.”

Ye Yao couldn’t help but chuckle at the thought of the Countermeasures Bureau’s Espers failing to catch her.

In full view of everyone, Ye Yao let her split body dissipate, creating a bizarre scene of a living person vanishing into thin air.

The Espers from the Countermeasures Bureau immediately changed their expressions.

“Search around, quick!”

“That person is gone. The presence has completely disappeared.”

“Forget it. Report it truthfully and let the intelligence department deal with the headache. Let’s focus on rescue operations first.”

The Espers scattered.

Some went to recover the Flame Demon’s corpse.

Others went to rescue the innocent civilians.

One Esper approached Mo Qiuli.

After a preliminary check of the girl’s condition, the Esper visibly relaxed.

“The injuries aren’t too severe. We’ll have a colleague skilled in healing take a look when we get back. You should be able to move again by tomorrow.”

“Thank you…”

Mo Qiuli seemed a bit dazed.

But to others, this was understandable.

It was completely normal for someone so young to be shaken after such an event.

No one suspected that she had any connection to the mysterious person from earlier.

Meanwhile, Mo Qiuli was thinking:

How is Ye Yao so powerful?

Where’s the promised ‘need protection, fragile, easy to push over’ girl?

That overwhelming power was even more captivating than a magical girl’s!

Ye Yao will definitely be a great magical girl!

Mo Qiuli couldn’t wait to see Ye Yao tomorrow.

Ye Yao woke up in bed.

She opened her big eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling.

“I killed someone…”

But Ye Yao didn’t feel much about it.

It was probably because she had seen too many people die from the fire along the way.

The process had already filled her with a lot of anger.

Part of the reason she chose to kill the Flame Demon was to avenge those people.

“Hmm, if I can destroy the world in the future, then killing a bad guy shouldn’t be a big deal.”

If the higher-ups in the Countermeasures Bureau knew, they would wholeheartedly agree.

What?

A person capable of destroying the world, when angered, only kills one deserving villain instead of becoming disillusioned and destroying the world?

That’s great news!

Of course, Ye Yao thought that it was better to not let them know.

Rеαd oո ΚαtRеаdіnɡCаfе

Who knows if someone might take things to the extreme?

For example, something like “if she dares to kill today, she might dare to destroy the world tomorrow”.

“Well, time to sleep. Can’t let bad guys ruin my good mood. Slacking off is great, and slacking off forever is even better.”

Ye Yao declared her life motto and happily drifted off to sleep.

Sending a piece of trash to hell wouldn’t affect her sleep quality.

Probably.

The next day.

Ye Yao woke up early and immediately checked her stats.

【Mental Power: 18】

The one-tenth boost from Mo Qiuli was gone.

But it had increased by one point compared to before.

This was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise for Ye Yao.

“Must be because I learned how to use mental power yesterday.”

Then, she added the 5 points rewarded from the rescue mission to mental power.

Her mental power stat went from 18 to 23.

A huge improvement!

Considering that Ye Yao had only awakened her ability two days ago, it was already astonishing to reach this level without any training.

“A second fission is within reach.”

Ye Yao changed her clothes and ran to the living room.

As usual, a certain mysterious newspaper-reading man was sitting on the sofa.

It seemed that he refreshed there every morning.

“Good morning,” Ye Yao greeted politely.

“Mm.”

Lou Wei responded indifferently, his eyes still fixed on the newspaper.

Reαⅾ οn КаtRеαԁіոɡCаfе

Ye Yao guessed that the newspaper must be reporting on yesterday’s incident.

It was an extremely heinous event, and the commotion it caused couldn’t be hidden.

Perhaps a huge storm was brewing online.

Of course, as one of the parties involved, Ye Yao had no intention of bringing it up herself.

To avoid raising suspicions.

Fortunately, Lou Wei didn’t seem inclined to talk about it either.

After a quick wash, Ye Yao grabbed breakfast and returned to her room.

“Hmm~ If Lou Wei had been there yesterday, would things have been less chaotic?”

Ye Yao pondered while eating, her mouth stuffed like a little squirrel.

The answer was undoubtedly yes.

Since even the system had labeled him as the strongest Esper, he could’ve instantly defeated that Flame Demon.

It’s just that the incident site was a bit far from here.

To avoid being discovered by Lou Wei, Ye Yao had asked Mo Qiuli to fly her further away.

“Wait, with Lou Wei’s stats, shouldn’t he have been able to reach the scene immediately?”

Ye Yao recalled Lou Wei’s unpredictable way of appearing and suddenly thought that it was indeed possible.

But in the end, he still didn’t show up.

Ye Yao could only think of one reason.

“Because… of me?”

Ye Yao’s expression turned strange.

The first time she used her ability to go out, she pretended to be an intruder to provoke him.

The second time, he noticed something unusual at the park.

It gave the illusion that some evil force was eyeing the power to destroy the world.

Lou Wei definitely wouldn’t dare to stray too far from her.

No matter how fast he was, he might not be able to guarantee that he could return in time if he left.

The prophesied “World Destroyer” was his top priority.

“Should I say, ‘as expected of me’? I’m so important that even the stat monster won’t leave my side.”

Reαⅾ οո КαtReαdіnɡСafe

Ye Yao muttered to herself, feeling that it was a bit of an overreaction.

“If only I had invincible strength too.”

Yesterday’s “Family Hero” form was a good experience.

Ye Yao named the form where she grew stronger when her family was in danger the “Family Hero” form.

It fits, right?

If she could add one-tenth of Lou Wei’s stats to herself and fission them…

Ye Yao didn’t even dare to imagine how terrifying that would be.

She could probably flip the Earth then.

But here’s the question.

Who in this world could possibly put Lou Wei in a life-threatening situation?

So, Ye Yao could only fantasize.

After breakfast, Ye Yao left her room to clean up the dishes.

Lou Wei was no longer on the sofa.

He must have made enough of an appearance.

Her mother, Xiao Jing, was nowhere to be seen.

Is she picking up the new little sister?

Ye Yao hadn’t forgotten that the country was sending over a girl her age.

She was really looking forward to it.

Ding dong~

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Lou Wei and Xiao Jing wouldn’t ring the doorbell when they returned, so it must be someone else.

Ye Yao hurried to open the door.

A bespectacled black-haired girl stood at the entrance.

“Hehe… Good morning, Ye Yao~”

Mo Qiuli had fully recovered!
