Esper X Family – Chapter 27 – The World Might Be Doomed!

Ye Yao was speechless.

She felt insulted.

Luo Jianhua actually treated her bath service as a punishment!

It was just a few strands of hair that got pulled while washing her hair.

Yet, Luo Jianhua acted as if she was silently enduring some kind of torture, not daring to voice her opinion.

If it weren’t for the fact that Ye Yao could read her thoughts through the system, she might not have noticed these comments that made her both angry and amused.

How outrageous!

I’ll never help a loli bathe again in my life!

Ye Yao angrily dried the water droplets clinging to her fair skin, put on her underwear and pajamas, and walked out of the bathroom.

Following behind her was a pitiful-looking Luo Jianhua.

Ye Yao had changed her previous thoughts.

This was a truly daunting task.

Ye Yao’s mood swings were also hard for Luo Jianhua to understand.

Where did I go wrong?

After getting dressed, Luo Jianhua went to the living room but didn’t see Ye Yao. Only Xiao Jing was sitting on the sofa.

“Where’s sister Ye Yao?”

“She went back to her room.”

Xiao Jing smiled as she looked at Luo Jianhua.

“How’s it going with Ye Yao?”

“It’s… not going too smoothly.”

Luo Jianhua walked over and sat down next to Xiao Jing, not hiding the disappointment on her face.

Perhaps it was because Xiao Jing had a comforting presence.

Even Luo Jianhua, who usually liked to tough it out, couldn’t help but want to confide in her.

“Maybe you’re not approaching it the right way.”

“I’ll try harder.”

“How about trying to forget that this is a task? Just treat it as if you weren’t entrusted by anyone, and don’t worry about the consequences of failure.”

Xiao Jing placed her hand on Luo Jianhua’s slightly damp hair and gently stroked it.

“But… isn’t this a mission that concerns the fate of the world?” Luo Jianhua hesitated.

“Well…”

Xiao Jing always felt that the relevant authorities had told Luo Jianhua too much.

The more Luo Jianhua knew, the greater the pressure she would feel.

This wasn’t the kind of pressure someone her age should be bearing.

The halo of a genius sometimes obscured the fact that Luo Jianhua was still just a child.

Xiao Jing could only tell her this:

“Do you know Lou Wei?”

“Yes.”

Luo Jianhua naturally knew of Lou Wei’s identity and strength.

After all, many people had expected her to become the second Lou Wei.

This expectation… was also one of the sources of her immense pressure.

Xiao Jing continued, “He said that no matter the outcome, he’ll take care of it. You don’t need to worry about any consequences.”

In other words, even if the sky falls, there will be a taller person to hold it up.

“…I understand,” Luo Jianhua replied softly.

Xiao Jing sighed silently and said nothing more.

The rest was up to Luo Jianhua to figure out on her own.

A genius wouldn’t be easily swayed by a few words.

On the other side.

Ye Yao decided to stop engaging in a battle of wits with Luo Jianhua for now.

It’s not like the system task had to be completed in a day.

Tonight is gaming time!

Ye Yao was going to enjoy herself with some games!

Monster Hunter, start!

She chose the longsword.

After finding a prey, she immediately executed a smooth combo.

“Spirit Thrust! Foresight Slash! Take my Spirit Helm Breaker!”

Several technical staff members gathered around to observe the computer screen.

This was an opportunity to confirm the target’s preferences.

Someone recognized the game Ye Yao was playing.

“She actually like these kind of games?”

“Shh, focus on watching her.”

Ye Yao’s character executed a smooth combo, completely unlike a beginner.

But none of the people present knew when Ye Yao had started playing the game.

They could only treat it as an unsolved mystery.

Then, at the final crucial moment.

The prey stepped back.

The most stylish Spirit Helm Breaker missed completely.

It ended with a cart ride back to camp ¹ Cats show up to drag you back home on a cart when your hp drops to 0. .

Someone chuckled.

“That’s on point.”

“Typical longsword user.”

Ye Yao’s face turned red with frustration.

Thinking that this embarrassing play might have been witnessed and laughed at by others, she felt utterly humiliated.

“Trash game! I’m done playing!”

Ye Yao shamefully ended her stream.

This crash out made the lurking technical staffs stifle their laughter.

“Who here plays this game? Anyone good enough to carry her? I’m afraid she might destroy the world if she gets too frustrated.”

“That’s too harsh. She must never hear that.”

The air was filled with a merry atmosphere.

Ye Yao set her computer to download other games.

While waiting, she picked up her phone to browse group chats.

She had registered her account the day she got the phone.

And had joined a bunch of groups.

Mostly gaming groups, where she would occasionally take a look.

Rеаⅾ οո ΚatReаdiոɡСаfе

Although some people liked to post trash, often starting with shocking content, the thought of someone peeking made her linger for a few more seconds.

Ye Yao felt like being a bit naughty.

Then, she noticed that those troublemakers had all been reported and banned.

“I won’t go out for a walk tonight.”

When she didn’t have a computer, she could go out to relax.

But with a computer, going out would be a waste of its purpose.

Unless Mo Qiuli came to invite her out, Ye Yao absolutely wouldn’t leave the house.

Thus, Ye Yao enjoyed a night of gaming as she wished.

No one disturbed her.

Except for the occasional embarrassing plays that made her feel ashamed.

Other than that, it was a night of exhilarating fun.

The next morning.

As she curled up in her blanket, Ye Yao heard a soft voice in her drowsy state.

“Sister, it’s time to get up. Breakfast should be eaten while it’s hot.”

“Mmm…”

Ye Yao opened her sleepy eyes and saw Luo Jianhua’s cute face.

The genius loli Esper had turned into an alarm clock.

The voice urging her to wake up was quite soothing.

Ye Yao didn’t mind it.

The white-haired loli burrowed under the blanket and wriggled a few times.

Just as Luo Jianhua thought that she was going to laze in bed, Ye Yao suddenly threw off the blanket and sat upright in bed.

This might be the best way to drive away sleepiness.

Luo Jianhua blinked as she stared at Ye Yao’s slightly messy hair.

Her heart felt a little itchy.

Her OCD was kicking in.

“Sister, do you want me to comb your hair?”

“Yes.”

Ye Yao naturally wouldn’t refuse Luo Jianhua’s offer to help.

She wasn’t very good at combing her hair.

Sometimes, she would pull too hard and hurt herself.

Asking the experienced Luo Jianhua for help was indeed the best choice.

Ye Yao walked over to the dressing table.

It came with the room.

Ye Yao didn’t know how to apply makeup, nor did she want to, so the mirror was the only useful thing on it.

Luo Jianhua picked up the comb and gently combed Ye Yao’s hair.

Her practiced movements didn’t seem like someone who had just arrived yesterday.

Anyone who didn’t know better would think that the two had been living as sisters for over a decade.

Ye Yao glanced at Luo Jianhua in the mirror.

“Isn’t this tiring?”

“What do you mean, sister?”

“I mean your way of life.”

Ye Yao was ready to confront Luo Jianhua.

After all, this problematic loli’s thoughts were very complex.

A glance at her head revealed a bunch of plans that gave Ye Yao headaches.

It was fine for a short while.

But after a while, Ye Yao really didn’t know how to act.

Now that they were alone, Ye Yao wanted to clarify a few things.

“I’ve said it before, I don’t need an overly obedient little sister. I’d be very happy if you’re willing to show me your true self.”

Luo Jianhua’s expression froze.

“Sister, you…”

Ye Yao gave a sly smile.

“Want to know how I know? I’ll tell you a little secret: I can read minds, you know~”

“Huh?”

Luo Jianhua’s mind instantly went blank, leaving only one thought on her head.

The world might be doomed!
