Esper X Family – Chapter 313 – The Prophet Shouldn’t be Like This, I Won’t Accept It!

Ye Yao and the others followed Fu Qi into the house.

They curiously observed the environment inside.

After all, even though it was a residential area, this was the headquarters’ residential area.

There were bound to be some differences compared to ordinary homes outside.

The first thing that caught their eye was the large screen connected to the game console, occupying the living room wall.

Soft fabric sofas surrounded the coffee table that was piled high with snacks and drinks.

The aroma of cookies wafted from the open kitchen.

It was clearly prepared by the “aunt” Fu Qi had mentioned.

The most striking feature was the wide, curved balcony ¹ .

One glance was enough to tell that the view was excellent.

It was definitely a great spot to enjoy the scenery, exuding stylishness.

Apart from that, Ye Yao’s only other impression of the place was its spaciousness.

It gave that feeling of ample space, more than enough for a family of four.

In summary, aside from some furniture not found outside, there didn’t seem to be much difference.

Next, Ye Yao shifted her attention elsewhere.

First was the kitchen.

Ye Yao caught a glimpse of a faint, elusive figure.

Based on her build and demeanor, she assumed that it was likely the “aunt” Fu Qi had mentioned.

She wondered if this was genuinely Fu Qi’s sweetheart, or just someone he had brought in to play the part.

Ye Yao thought that this ‘uncle’ didn’t seem like someone who was no longer single.

He was probably another invincible bachelor like Lou Wei.

Starting a family would be a real struggle for him.

Then, Ye Yao’s gaze landed on the sofa.

A slender figure was sitting there, immediately capturing Ye Yao’s attention.

Rеαⅾ οn ΚαtReaԁіngСafe

The girl sat quietly where the light and shadow from the sofa met.

She was as delicate as a porcelain blank, looking as if she would shatter at the slightest touch.

A plain cloth strip was tightly bound over her eyes, tied in a simple knot at the back of her head.

Although her most vivid feature was concealed, the lower half of her revealed face still possessed a breathtaking delicacy.

Her pale skin was as thin as fresh snow, the line of her nose gracefully arched, her light-colored lips pressed into a fragile, straight line.

Her very existence was like a piece of thin porcelain that had been dropped, now covered in a web of fine cracks.

Although covered in invisible cracks, the masterful craftsmanship would make one fear that even breathing too heavily could accelerate its shattering.

“Hmm?”

The presence of this girl filled Ye Yao’s heart with doubt.

Before coming, she had thought she would only meet the two figures, her “uncle” and “aunt”.

So, who was this seemingly special girl?

Fu Qi hadn’t mentioned her in advance.

And she hadn’t been able to read any relevant information either.

Could she be a new family member?

But what’s the story with her eyes?

Ye Yao stared intently at the girl.

The cloth strip didn’t diminish her presence. Instead, it amplified that sense of fragile contradiction to the extreme.

Concealment breeds mystery, fragility fosters pity.

A strong curiosity sprouted wildly in Ye Yao’s heart like vines.

Who is she?

Why are her eyes blindfolded?

Is it a symbol of trauma, or a seal for some kind of power?

This damned Fu Qi, keeping such a surprising card hidden!

“Uncle… who is she?”

Rеaⅾ оո KatRеaԁinɡСαfе

Ye Yao lowered her voice and asked Fu Qi.

Her gaze remained fixed on the sofa.

Fu Qi responded with a smile, “She’s my daughter, her name is Fu Sheng. She’s also your cousin, although not much older than you.”

“C-Cousin?”

Ye Yao revealed a surprised expression.

Her internal state mirrored her expression perfectly.

She was genuinely surprised.

How could this uncle, who looked like he was still single, suddenly produce a daughter?

It has to be fake!

Fu Sheng?

That name was definitely fake too.

But she could acknowledge this ‘cousin’ as a relative.

As long as the system could verify it, Ye Yao would welcome anyone.

“And her eyes…?”

Those concealed eyes were indeed very intriguing.

Fu Qi showed a slightly sad expression at this.

“Ah, her eyes were severely injured in an accident. Even with the current medical technology, her vision can’t be restored for now.”

Ye Yao turned her head and stared at Fu Qi.

【Fu Qi is using pre-prepared excuses to deceive you】

How sneaky!

Putting on an act right in front of her.

“I see. So, should we try to avoid this topic?”

“Actually, you don’t have to be that deliberate. She’s quite optimistic and won’t be affected by it. Just treat her like a normal person.”

Fu Qi showed a gentle smile.

“Go sit on the sofa first. Whether you want to play games or have snacks, feel free. Treat this place like your own home.”

“If you have any questions, you can ask later. I’ll answer them properly.”

“Okay, we won’t hesitate then.”

Ye Yao and the others went to sit on the sofa.

The girl with the covered eyes was sitting in the corner of the sofa, looking quiet and refined.

Ye Yao’s gaze was still fixed on her.

Although she was nominally her cousin, she hadn’t been verified by the system yet.

Without being included in the family section, it was difficult to get further information through the system.

Just as Ye Yao was thinking about how to greet her, the girl spoke first.

“You’re Ye Yao, right? Nice to meet you. I don’t know what you’re interested in yet. If you’re curious about me, you can ask directly. My eyes are a bit inconvenient, but you don’t need to mind them.”

Ye Yao blinked a few times, tentatively calling out.

“Cousin?”

“Yes, Cousin.”

The girl’s voice was ethereal, responding to Ye Yao’s call with the gentlest tone.

The next moment.

As expected, the system reacted!

【Detected target character “Tu Sheng”, successfully added into the family section】

Ye Yao’s heart stirred.

So her real name was Tu Sheng, and she had only become “Fu Sheng” to join this family.

How wicked was this ’uncle’?

Kidnapping someone else’s child to be his own daughter.

“Shattering” another family just to piece together a new one to fool her.

Now she really had to pressure him!

Ye Yao swiftly checked Tu Sheng’s other information.

Like the keywords section.

This could quickly establish a basic understanding, generally revealing the other party’s hidden identity or secrets.

【Prophet, Guide, Successor】

These three words were quietly marked above Tu Sheng’s head.

Ye Yao: “?”

Ye Yao almost lost control of her expression.

Fortunately, her fission body in Yunited States let out a “Mommy ² 妈耶maye in raws. It’s an internet buzzword for expressing surprise and doesn’t have any actual meaning, but it’s composed of the word 妈ma (mom) and 耶ye (interrogative particle, no meaning). !” which helped her relieve the intense internal stimulus.

This prevented her main body from giving away any clues.

Ye Yao had never imagined that she would encounter the legendary Prophet here!

When she used the system to read them before, Lou Wei and Fu Qi had been so evasive.

There wasn’t even a single trace of information about the Prophet.

She thought that the Prophet would be hidden very deeply, at least at a top-secret level.

But who would’ve thought that they would casually bring her out to play the role of “cousin”?

Ye Yao swallowed a mouthful of complaints.

She just felt that the Prophet’s image was a bit different from what she had imagined.

The Prophet should be full of riddles, using a bunch of half-baked philosophical theories to play tricks and act mysteriously!

At the very least, they should be the cheeky, punchable type, the kind that was destined to be beaten up.

How did the Prophet become this fragile, delicate beauty instead?

The Prophet in Ye Yao’s imagination wasn’t like this!

She refused to accept it!

How could she still have the heart to get revenge for slandering her about destroying the world now?
