Esper X Family – Chapter 289 – Familial Love Viewing Function

She’s about to wake up.

That was Ye Yao’s premonition.

Although it was just an intuition, what if it was true?

Xia Lian, who was sitting nearby, heard her murmurs.

“Is she really going to wake up? Her condition hasn’t changed much since we brought her back. It doesn’t seem like there’s any sign of awakening.”

As An Qi’s caretaker, Xia Lian understood An Qi’s physical condition better than Ye Yao did.

If there were any changes, she would have known long ago.

An Qi hadn’t woken up when she was there. How could she possibly wake up just because Ye Yao is here?

“Whatever. Since White Catty says so, then it must be right!”

Xia Lian was one hundred percent supportive in this regard.

Others might not understand Ye Yao’s uncanny abilities, but she certainly did.

If she showed any signs of doubt, she would likely end up getting slapped in the face.

Obedient, be fiercely obedient!

“Since she’s about to wake up, I can finally ask for a reward.

After taking such good care of her for several days, I definitely deserve some compensation, right? Hehehe~”

Xia Lian sounded expectant.

She was very eager to build a good relationship with all cats.

The little creature had been avoiding her from the moment they first met.

Surely she wouldn’t be so shy to hide now, right?

Ye Yao made a face of disgust.

“Ew, so creepy! If she really wakes up, act like you don’t know me. I won’t know you either.”

“That’s prejudice! How can building a good relationship with cats be called creepy?”

Xia Lian protested, feeling quite dissatisfied that she had gone from being a “cat lover” to a “creep”.

Ye Yao shook her head.

“Whatever little schemes you have, save them for later. We need to ensure An Qi’s mental state is good first. We can’t scare her and cause her secondary trauma.”

“Seems like you have a point. I’ll have to postpone it then.”

Xia Lian thought for a moment and found it rather reasonable.

An Qi had just escaped from that hellish place.

Before falling asleep, she might have witnessed many cruel scenes.

There was no telling if it would leave a psychological shadow.

They had to ensure that she wouldn’t have a stress reaction upon waking up this time.

Xia Lian’s thoughts were indeed quite meticulous.

…Maybe.

Ye Yao withdrew her gaze and focused once again on the purple-haired girl on the bed.

Unfortunately, a premonition is just a premonition.

It didn’t mean that something was bound to happen.

She couldn’t just wait idly. She had to think of a way to help An Qi wake up.

System, show me what you’re made of!

However, the system merely opened the panel related to An Qi.

It didn’t provide any substantial help.

What a letdown!

But the next second.

Ye Yao found something unexpected through the compiled information.

【Family member An Qi is caught in a torrent of fate, struggling to break free from her dreams. She has entrusted her fate to you and is currently waiting for her fate to undergo further changes.】

It can do that?

Ye Yao inhaled sharply.

She had thought that the information summary could only be used on a conscious person.

Unexpectedly, it could also be used on someone in deep sleep?

It seemed like she had underestimated the system’s capabilities.

For now, she allowed the Old Feng System to touch the ground again ¹ A reference to chapter 237 when she (mentally) sent the system to outer space. .

Ye Yao focused her attention on the information compiled by the system.

The content of the information summary was based on the subject’s mental state and thought processes.

Looking at it this way.

If the subject is dreaming, perhaps she could know what An Qi is dreaming about.

Caught in a torrent of fate?

It should be related to her ability going out of control.

To actually involve something like fate, it was no wonder that An Qi’s threat level was rated so high.

The gold content of those in the top ten Sequences are slightly higher than that of Xia Lian’s.

But it was no big deal.

Once her main body pulled off a few more shenanigans and secured the top three Sequences, Xia Lian would have to step out of the ten wings bucket ² CN tier lists go from KFC 10 wings bucket for the strongest characters, Large Cup for strong characters, and Medium Cup for niche characters. !

Such an embarrassment to the top ten Sequences!

Ye Yao focused her attention back on An Qi.

“Hmm, struggling hard, huh? She has quite the will to survive.

Entrusting her fate to me… what does that mean? Why does it sound so heavy?”

Ye Yao almost thought that she had mistakenly wandered into a heavy scene.

If a beautiful girl kept talking about fate and entrusting it over to someone…

That would be too intimidating!

But if it was An Qi…

Based on the documents she had read over at the Countermeasures Bureau.

The information the system displayed could very well be literal.

Ye Yao placed An Qi’s delicate, fragile little hand in her palm.

One had to remember that she is a genius.

She could easily learn mental power techniques that she hadn’t reached the threshold for yet.

What could possibly be difficult about sensing the fate entrusted to her by her family member?

She absolutely must help this little one escape her suffering!

Ye Yao’s heart was more determined than ever.

The next moment.

The system’s voice suddenly rang out.

【New function unlocked. Detected an unknown power entangled, classified as harmless. Beginning analysis… incorporation… reference… simulation… Successfully developed the family relationship query function. Please confirm, Host.】

What the heck is going on?

What’s the system up to now?

Ye Yao glanced at it.

【This function allows the Host to view the Familial Love Value of family members to confirm the harmony of Host’s family.】

Ye Yao: “?”

What’s the use of this broken function?

Reαd оո КаtRеаdіngСαfе

Besides, shouldn’t this kind of thing be available from the start?

Why does it still need activation and development?

She was speechless.

Ye Yao could only accept this outdated functionality of the lousy system.

It was better to have it than not.

No worries.

While other transmigrators might not play with you, I can take you to the peak!

Your mechanisms might seem a bit useless to those Long Aotians ³ Long Aotian is basically a Gary Stu, the male version of Mary Sue. It’s the type of character that goes around slapping faces everywhere, will get random power ups when losing, and also have women helplessly fall in love for no reason at all. The name Long Aotian can be broken down to Dragon + Proud + Sky/Heaven, so it’s just a mesh of impressive sounding words. .

But when combined with my invincible fission ability, it’s like Lü Bu riding Red Hare ⁴ Lü Bu’s horse, said to be able to run a thousand li (500 km or 310.6 miles) a day. !

Invincible under heaven!

Ye Yao began to check this overdue function, hoping to see if it would aid in An Qi’s awakening.

What came into view was an image only she could see.

A semi-transparent space-blue background interface occupied Ye Yao’s right field of vision.

Tiny particles of stardust flowed along the edges.

The scene presented Ye Yao with three options.

【Sequence Zero】

【Found Family】

【Magical Girl Alliance】

Of course, Ye Yao selected the first option.

The other two could wait for later.

Soon, the scene changed.

A petite silhouette representing her appeared in the center, with vertical lines extending from it connecting to others.

The brightness of these lines varied.

It seemed to represent the depth of connection?

Ye Yao glanced at the silhouette representing Xia Lian.

The image immediately transformed into the display of Xia Lian’s information.

【Xia Lian】

【Familial Love Value: 95/100】

Reаⅾ οո KatRеαⅾinɡСαfe

【Evaluation: As Close As Sisters】

As close as sisters?

Ye Yao’s head popped up a question mark.

She disagreed!

Xia Lian only deserved to be a weakling! How could she possibly be deemed an older sister?

That was definitely a one-sided claim from the system.

Why isn’t there a “for reference only” label?

Ye Yao complained inwardly.

Then, she glanced at the status of others.

Wu Mi and Fang Tang both had Familial Love Values within the nineties range.

Their connecting lines were quite bright.

As for Old Mu and the others, their lines appeared a bit dim.

Their Familial Love Values were quite low

How is this even calculated?

Is it based on the time spent communicating and interacting?

Whatever.

These few reliable adult men were quite independent.

Always busy with this and that all day, so it was normal that they didn’t have time to foster familial bonds.

Perhaps it was because Ye Yao preferred hanging out with the girls.

That was certainly more convenient for slacking off.

Going on expeditions with Old Mu and the others might increase their familial love value.

But for Ye Yao to voluntarily go out on expeditions is a bit unlikely.

It would be different if there were attribute point rewards involved!

Without rewards, she couldn’t care less.

“Let’s take a look at An Qi’s value.”
