Esper X Family – Chapter 370 – Staring at Each Other

Fu Qi hadn’t returned yet.

The moment he reached the door and heard Ye Yao and Chen Wan Ting’s conversation, he felt his world collapse.

He didn’t dare face it, hoping it was just a dream.

Perhaps… he should pretend that he was too busy with work and come back later.

Fu Qi felt his status dropping lower and lower.

As the Director of the Countermeasures Bureau, he did command respect outside.

But in front of these familiar colleagues, he had little face left.

First, he was scolded by Xiao Jing, and now, he was definitely going to be scolded by Chen Wan Ting.

Fu Qi felt like a lion had entered his eyes ¹ Lu Mingfei, the protagonist of Dragon Raja, is described as “hiding a lion in his eyes”. He’s one of those loser type protagonists that only gets stronger later on, so the contrast led to people memeing it. .

He longed to immerse himself in work and forget everything.

Inside the living room.

Ye Yao was still unaware that Fu Qi had transformed from a weakling guardian spirit into a maggot.

Chen Wan Ting had already gone to prepare snacks and fruits.

Luo Jianhua and the others skillfully opened their games, ready to kill time.

And Ye Yao sat on the living room sofa, face to face with her dear “cousin”.

“Cousin, your eyes really are beautiful. I didn’t expect them to recover so quickly.”

“Well, I have to thank you too. If it weren’t for you, your sister might not have helped me heal them.”

Tu Sheng gazed gently at Ye Yao’s eyes, a faint smile within them.

“So, does my sister really know everything?”

“After all, she’s always been keeping an eye on you, hasn’t she?”

Ye Yao blinked.

Forget it, enough of this talk meant for others to hear. Time to quickly initiate private chat mode!

Ye Yao shuffled closer, pressing herself against Tu Sheng.

She opened the Familial Love panel and activated Fang Tang’s interactive function.

Spiritual Synchronization! Initiating resonance!

The subsequent moves were fluid.

The zero-distance contact between Ye Yao and Tu Sheng instantly achieved mental resonance.

【Let’s be completely open and honest, Tu Sheng. Communicating this way means we don’t have to worry about eavesdroppers. Let’s exchange true feelings for true feelings.】

【Interesting. Is this also one of the world-destroying ability’s methods? I didn’t expect an ability representing the end of all things to have so many useful effects.】

Tu Sheng’s voice came through, sounding like she had adapted very quickly, without much surprise.

It was no wonder. As someone who had seen much of the world, it was hard to surprise her.

Ye Yao found it somewhat amusing.

Methods of the world-destroying ability?

Not at all!

This is the System’s divine power!

The System has plenty of tricks up its sleeve, guaranteed to bring you endless surprises!

【Tu Sheng, tell me quickly, are there any more villains to fight? Will any more enemies descend from beyond the heavens? I went through all the trouble of healing your eyes and restoring your ability. If you start being cryptic, I’m gonna retort you to death!】

【Oh my, dropping the act already? The little one suddenly being so assertive, even I find it a bit hard to adjust.】

Emotional fluctuations could also be transmitted through the mental resonance.

Tu Sheng’s tone seemed to carry a hint of teasing.

Ye Yao gritted her teeth inwardly.

【You really are asking for it.】

【Can’t you at least wait until we’re alone?】

Someone who couldn’t be pressured like this was truly Ye Yao’s bane.

There was simply no way to apply pressure on her.

Prophets were troublesome enough, let alone one as optimistic as this.

Remaining so natural even without a clear view of the future.

【Stop playing with words. Do your job properly, that’s the only way I’ll forgive you for slandering me.】

【Of course, I can serve as your eyes forever. Feel free to use me as you wish.】

The communication was going relatively smoothly.

Tu Sheng was very cooperative.

It wasn’t in vain that Ye Yao had gone through so much trouble to get her ability unbanned.

Now, she could find out if any trouble was coming.

With Tu Sheng’s cooperation, she could definitely manage the allocation of attribute points precisely.

If no overpowered enemies would appear in the near future, she would add points generously.

If enemies the Dayun combat force couldn’t handle showed up, she would have to keep some points as a hidden backup reserve.

【Will new enemies appear soon?】

【You mean the vengeful spirits? Based on my observations, quite a few will emerge in the coming years.】

Ye Yao: “?”

What does that mean?

Is this truly the era of stat inflation?

Over so many years, there was only one small-time villain from the Sanctuary. Even when the Sanctuary exploded, only one vengeful spirit emerged.

How come it seemed like Tu Sheng was saying that powerful vengeful spirits would be popping up everywhere?

Would her reserve of attribute points really be enough?

Ye Yao fell into deep doubt.

【How can this be?】

【After all, you changed the world. It’s not just this planet; even space is saturated with dense mental power.

Vengeful spirits are extremely sensitive to vast amounts of mental power. They will quickly lock onto timespaces containing large amounts of it and tear through the void to arrive over time.】

Rеаԁ οո КatRеaԁіnɡСafе

Tu Sheng explained to Ye Yao in simple terms.

Vengeful spirits vary in strength.

Those spawned from smaller civilizations tend to be weaker.

But no matter how weak, they would still follow their instinct to seek vengeance.

【The Sanctuary Leader’s ability was the greatest legacy of the civilization from which the previous vengeful spirit originated.

Therefore, when it tore through the void, it laid dormant within him, waiting for the right time to manifest.】

Ye Yao understood.

The more Espers there were, the greater the probability of vengeful spirits descending?

In other words, the ability within a human body wasn’t just a legacy but also a spatial coordinate.

Once awakened, one could be locked onto by a vengeful spirit.

Perhaps under normal circumstances, they wouldn’t come directly, but once they detected massive mental power fluctuations, they would go berserk.

And now…

Under Ye Yao’s manipulation, the planet was filled with copious amounts of free-floating mental power, only accelerating the speed at which vengeful spirits would lock on.

This was clearly telling them that a world-destroying ability had already awakened in this timespace.

Ye Yao could already envision a stream of delirious guys arriving one after another.

It would be fine if they all came at once. She could undergo Apotheosis and eliminate them all in one wave.

But if they came one by one… where would she get enough attribute points to maintain sufficient sanity?

Blindly undergoing Apotheosis might mean destroying the world!

So, her ushering in a new era had more drawbacks than benefits?

Fortunately, Tu Sheng’s voice rang out in her mind just in time.

【Don’t worry. Before that happens, humanity will master methods to deal with vengeful spirits through your help. You don’t have to face everything alone.】

【Oh? So, the Dayun combat force is finally going to step up?】

【If you’re referring to the top Espers, including Lou Wei, then yes. They will become the vanguard, actively hunting down vengeful spirits.】

Ye Yao blinked, feeling more at ease than ever before.

Strengthening Lou Wei and the others was precisely so that they could stand on the front lines.

That way, she could comfortably slack off in the back.

Her only worry was Lou Wei getting stronger too fast, preventing her from fairly crashing him into scraps.

The Apotheosis Form didn’t count as a fair fight.

After all, it borrowed Lou Wei’s power to some extent, which was somewhat lacking in martial virtue.

But the next time would be different.

She absolutely had to crash him to death fair and square, using her own power!

Her current stat was three hundred. She wondered if that was enough.

Ye Yao calculated meticulously, planning to have a fight with the Dayun Truck before her mental power reached four hundred.

Although it seemed like Lou Wei had been strengthened by her recently, he probably wouldn’t grow that fast.

It seemed that the window to regain her honor was now or never.

【Tu Sheng, if I go all out against a serious Lou Wei, will I win?】

【Sorry, I can’t observe futures concerning you. My ability would shatter.】

【You can’t even see that? I’m really gonna retort you to death!】

【Sorry to disappoint you. Retort me now then.】

“Hmph!”

“Nn?”

In the end, Ye Yao and Tu Sheng stared at each other, not knowing what to do.
