Esper X Family – Chapter 290 – This Girl is Unworthy

In her eyes, the silhouette of the purple-haired girl seemed to be entwined by a faint gold chain.

This situation was different from that of the others.

Upon a closer look.

The thread representing An Qi had actively wrapped itself around her silhouette.

It was more obvious than the others.

【Familial Love Value: 100/100】

【Evaluation: One Who Entrusts Fate】

Ye Yao: “?”

What kind of judgment is this?

Can you really be this close to someone you haven’t even talked to?

Surely this must be one-sided affection on her part, right?

However, once Ye Yao thought about the information compiled by the system just now, she quickly understood.

So that’s what it meant.

Then, Ye Yao also noticed that An Qi’s silhouette was flickering, as if it had some special interactive function.

【Would you like to initiate Spiritual Synchronization?】

Ye Yao’s interest was immediately piqued.

Do I even need to say it?

System, lend me your power!

You provide the mechanism, and I’ll provide the stats!

We’ll wreak havoc together!

“Initiate.”

Ye Yao closed her eyes, and her consciousness entered another space.

Meanwhile.

An Qi had already used her fate line to tightly entangle around this special fate line.

If there were no surprises.

Such a deep connection should enable the owner of this fate line to help her escape.

However, it was easy to entangle but hard to unravel.

She might be unable to escape for her entire life.

Thinking of this made An Qi’s head feel a little warm.

“Is this what grandma meant by… pledging oneself for life? Is this my fate from now on?”

As she stayed close to this special fate line, An Qi grew increasingly anxious.

What would her future look like?

At the very least, her fate would be hard to change.

If she met the owner of this fate line, uncontrollable feelings would surely arise.

Closeness, attachment, fondness… they were all inevitable.

But it felt like a one-sided entrustment.

An Qi was the one who had actively entangled herself, even winding tightly just in case.

What if the other party didn’t have those feelings?

What if they did have those feelings?

Could she wait until she grew a little older?

They hadn’t even met yet. Would it seem too rushed to the other party?

An Qi hadn’t escaped yet, but her mind was almost turning to mush.

She felt completely dazed.

When she was trapped here earlier, she hadn’t thought about these things.

But now that she had found a place of refuge, the sense of security allowed her to relax a little.

Next, she only needed to wait for fate to take action.

The next moment.

The golden fate line in front of An Qi suddenly stirred.

It erupted in dazzling light and finally condensed into a petite figure.

“Eh?”

An Qi stared in awe at this scene, momentarily unable to react.

At this moment, that special fate line had vanished without a trace.

In its place was a silver-haired girl with her eyes tightly shut, appearing right before her.

There was less than twenty centimeters of distance between them.

An Qi could even see the delicate details of her face.

It felt like she had stepped out of a fantasy world.

An Qi quickly came to her senses.

This must be the owner of the special fate line, right?

She’s actually the same age as me!

Rеаⅾ οո КαtReadіոɡСаfе

And a girl!?

An Qi’s head spun even more.

Her fate… what would it look like from now on?

Just when An Qi’s brain short-circuited, Ye Yao opened her eyes, her purple pupils quickly locking onto the petite figure before her.

“Hmm? Are you An Qi? You seem to be in good spirits, so I can relax a bit.”

An Qi was like a startled little rabbit.

Her body trembled slightly, and then she cautiously asked.

“Do you… know me?”

“My name is Ye Yao, and I’m also one of the people brought back by Mu Luo. We’re here to rescue you.”

“Ah, you mean that big brother who looks kinda gloomy.”

An Qi immediately understood.

It seemed that after being brought out by Mu Luo, her fate had undergone a tremendous change.

But back then, there were still many things she didn’t understand, and her observation of fate was only superficial.

She couldn’t observe the more detailed aspects at all.

If only she had the ability to see through fate, perhaps she wouldn’t have encountered such a situation.

“Let’s not discuss that for now. I’ll find a way to wake you up.”

Ye Yao examined the environment where An Qi was dreaming.

What is this chaotic scene that looks like a messy sketch?

An Qi explained softly.

“These are the fate lines of others. It’s best not to touch it. Otherwise, it might cause profound effects on innocent people…”

“But it’s already a complete mess.”

“I’m not sure how it ended up like this… I just feel that those people’s fates have already been set, and many people might die.”

This was the first time An Qi encountered such a scene.

Initially, she could barely see a few people’s fate lines.

But seeing so many of them in a dream had frightened her.

It felt exaggerated, like a child’s doodle suddenly becoming a medieval artist’s oil painting.

This brought a huge impact to An Qi, who was able to see fate.

Perhaps she could change the fate of some of these people.

But there were simply too many.

So many that even An Qi felt a bit desperate.

Even her own self-preservation seemed like a problem.

In the face of the vast torrent of fate, what she could do was nothing more than a mayfly trying to shake a tree.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yao fell into thought.

“Whatever. Let’s wake you up first and talk later.”

This wasn’t the place for conversation.

“Hold my hand.”

An Qi cautiously placed her hand in Ye Yao’s palm.

“How will you take me out?”

“I don’t know. We’ll feel it out as we go.”

Ye Yao tightened her grip on An Qi’s hand.

She felt that her connection with An Qi was very strong.

As if she could freely influence An Qi’s life.

In this place, there was even an inexplicable unseen connection.

As if she could easily control An Qi’s fate.

Since that was the case, why not give it a try?

Moments later.

An Qi quickly sensed a change.

Previously, she had actively wrapped herself around the other party.

This time, it felt as if the other party was responding.

Her heart shook like a startled deer.

Ye Yao let out a soft hum.

“What nonsense torrent of fate, my companion’s fate can only be in her own hands, and no one can take it away.”

Since An Qi had been forced to entangle herself so deeply.

Then she would just take her out directly.

Immediately.

Ye Yao led An Qi to soar upward.

The fate lines surrounding An Qi rapidly fell off, as if they were being pushed back by a higher-grade fate.

An Qi felt the strength transmitted from their clasped hands.

For the first time, she felt how reassuring it was to entrust her fate to someone else.

What should I do next?

Maybe introduce her to grandma when we get back…

In reality.

Ye Yao opened her eyes, clarity returning to her gaze.

At this moment, Xia Lian’s curious voice reached her ears.

“White Catty, why did you close your eyes just now? Were you performing a ritual?”

“Quiet, An Qi is waking up.”

This time, there was no doubt in her tone, only an absolute certainty.

Xia Lian was full of question marks.

What did I miss?

What happened?

Am I being left out again?

Sure enough.

Xia Lian quickly noticed that the purple-haired girl on the bed had fluttered her eyelashes slightly.

The one who had been unconscious was finally waking up at this moment!

To Xia Lian, it seemed utterly unbelievable.

Ye Yao just closed and opened her eyes and it was done?

Even a reenactment of the Sleeping Beauty story would be far more reasonable than this!

“Mmm…”

An Qi finally opened her eyes fully, her blank gaze staring at the unfamiliar ceiling.

After coming to her senses, she slightly turned her head to look at Ye Yao beside her.

Her gaze fell on the small hand Ye Yao was holding.

Her little mouth opened slightly.

She seemed to be readjusting to her body after waking up.

“This girl is unworthy ¹ She’s referring to herself in third person, plus a humble tone. … from now on… my fate is entrusted to you…”
