Esper X Family – Chapter 316 – Urgent, Urgent, Urgent!

Everything has a purpose.

Even slander must follow logic.

Tu Sheng didn’t seem like the type of Prophet who would deceive people just for fun.

It was definitely not because Ye Yao was tempted by her modeling either.

It was more like an inexplicable intuition.

At least, when sitting in front of her, Ye Yao could feel the goodwill radiating from her.

Unlike others in the know.

Even though Tu Sheng knew that she would destroy the world in the future, she didn’t seem to feel any pressure at all.

As if everything was under her control.

Just thinking about it gave Ye Yao a headache.

She had done many things that gave others headaches.

Now, she was the one caught in a mental storm.

“Cousin basically said nothing at all.”

Ye Yao could only voice her frustration.

Tu Sheng responded with an apologetic expression.

“After all, the authorities require confidentiality, so I can’t just tell you everything, even if it’s Little Yao.”

She didn’t even avoid mentioning the confidentiality itself.

Ye Yao didn’t know what to say.

There’s actually someone who could resist pressure like this?

She had met her match!

Ye Yao temporarily set aside the idea of heavily pressuring Fu Qi.

The primary target now was clearly Tu Sheng, the Prophet!

Ye Yao began her offensive!

“Cousin, don’t you have any regrets? Uncle said your problem is very difficult to solve…”

Tu Sheng shook her head slightly, a smile still on her lips.

“No regrets. This way, I can help more people.

The people I help include Little Yao and your friends, and even myself.

The cost is just my ability and eyesight. In a way, isn’t that quite a bargain?”

【Tu Sheng hopes that you can escape the fate of destroying the world and live a carefree life like an ordinary person】

Ye Yao felt like leaning back tactically.

She believed that this was Tu Sheng’s truest thought.

People skilled in self-control could easily interfere with their inner thoughts to deceive mind-reading abilities.

But the system’s function was information organization.

Sometimes, it could even filter out meaningless information and directly extract the important content.

If Tu Sheng’s heart were full of falsehoods.

Then the information the system provided should have been something like【Tu Sheng is fabricating lies to fool you】.

But it wasn’t.

She was so noble it was hard to look at her directly.

This was simply a great person!

Even Ye Yao herself was starting to feel uncertain.

Could it be… that she really would destroy the world in the future?

But since Tu Sheng hadn’t given any evidence, there was no way to confirm further!

Her current identity was still too restrictive.

There were a lot of things she couldn’t say.

Perhaps only when the fission body returned and transformed into Ye Tong could she throw a direct verbal punch and apply pressure.

She could pin her against the wall and force an answer with no problems.

At that time, even Tu Sheng wouldn’t be able to avoid the question.

Urgent, urgent, urgent!

Ye Yao could only suppress her inner anxiety and let her mentality return to its usual laid-back state.

“Cousin, you’re such a good person.”

Just as Ye Yao issued the “good person” card, Mo Qiuli, who had been listening quietly, couldn’t help but exclaim.

“Sister Fu Sheng… might be good material for becoming a magical girl~”

“Self-sacrificing, strong-willed, full of hope in her heart. If she could transform, she’d definitely be a very popular magical girl!”

The black-haired, bespectacled loli began to fantasize.

Only when the topic involved magical girls did she dare to speak proactively.

Although Ye Yao and Tu Sheng’s conversation didn’t touch on any keywords.

There were always moments to fantasize about.

After all, in her eyes, Ye Yao was Magical Girl Lullaby.

And the topic they were discussing involved “love and responsibility”.

A proper magical girl was exactly like that!

So, Mo Qiuli felt a bit of resonance as she listened.

“?”

Ye Yao slowly typed out a question mark.

Why are you having another episode?

Then, Mo Qiuli showed a slightly regretful expression.

Muttering in a voice almost only she could hear.

“It’s just a pity that Sister Fu Sheng is already grown up…”

Does that mean only lolis can be magical girls?

Then why not call them magical lolis instead?

Ye Yao really wanted to pinch Mo Qiuli’s face and make her behave.

But she let it go for now.

Tu Sheng let out a soft laugh.

“Little Yao’s friends are really interesting.

That voice is Mo Qiuli’s, right?

Maybe we can talk about magical girls another time.

I might find it quite interesting.”

“Ah…”

She had been called out!

A blush crept onto Mo Qiuli’s face. She felt a bit embarrassed, lowering her head and staring at her shoes, lightly tapping them together.

“If… if there’s a chance…”

She agreed after all.

Even though she felt that it might just be polite talk.

“Well, let’s end the topic about my eyes here. You don’t need to be too considerate of me.

My parents specially prepared a game console for you guys. It’d be a waste not to play.”

Just then, a woman walked out of the kitchen, carrying freshly baked cookies.

“You’re Ye Yao, right? I’ve seen your photos. You’re really cute.”

“Aunt?”

“Mm, you can call me that.”

【Detected target character “Chen Wan Ting”, successfully added into Family Section】

【Host can further categorize family members. Reward: 5 attribute points】

The system is handing out gold bars!

It’s rare to have such a simple little task.

Ye Yao thought quickly.

She did need to further classify the Found Family.

Sequence Zero and the Magical Girl Alliance were fine.

The Found Family seemed to include relatives like the Uncles.

With more and more relatives coming to acknowledge the relationship, the Found Family would only become more bloated.

She needed to create another category.

“Close Relatives” would do.

Ye Yao quickly created the new category and grouped Uncle ¹ 大伯dabo, Fang Ze. , Maternal Uncle ² 舅舅jiujiu, Fu Qi , Cousin, Aunt ³ 大姨dayi, Cheng Muxue , and Maternal Aunt ⁴ 舅妈jiuma, Chen Wan Ting all together.

The system’s small reward arrived promptly.

【Unallocated Attribute Points: 25】

Pretty good.

If only it gave a daily task like this.

At least there would be something to do when bored.

“Thank you, Aunt.”

“You’re welcome. Enjoy your time. I’ll make you a big dinner tonight.”

Chen Wan Ting placed her hand on Ye Yao’s head and gently patted it, looking amiable and kind.

There was no trace of the nervousness of a first meeting at all.

As if she had fully immersed herself in the role of “Aunt”.

Ye Yao glanced again.

【Unfazed by Pressure, Universal Assistant】

【Ability: Interference Field

Mental Power: 4,132】

【Chen Wan Ting is ready to withstand pressure. No matter how tricky the question you ask, she will strive to satisfy you.】

Ye Yao blinked.

So this Aunt was brought by Fu Qi to withstand pressure together.

But unfortunately, she usually only pressured the big guys.

Like the Fu Qi and Lou Wei, the two pressure-resistant kings.

Ye Yao’s soft pressure and Ye Tong’s hard pressure.

Both had to be applied simultaneously for the special training to be effective.

The current stage was just child’s play.

What came later would be the real super heavy pressure.

“Aunt, where’s Uncle?”

“He’s helping in the kitchen. Should I call him over?”

“Mm, please. I want to ask him a few questions.”

Chen Wan Ting left with a subtle expression.

She was supposedly here to withstand pressure, but there wasn’t much pressure at all.

The little ones were all very cute.

Ye Yao was especially friendly, nothing like what she expected at all.

How could there be any pressure?

Fu Qi was definitely overreacting.

The dragon has returned! We started eating a little after two. It’s a holiday, so we’re eating early. I can already imagine eating poached chicken ⁵ and duck ⁶ every day for the next while… What a joke, I’m going to throw up!
