Esper X Family – Chapter 420 – Not That Kind of Top

Ye Yao’s reply quickly reached Mu Luo.

Gu Wenxin and the others stared at him.

“What did she say?”

Mu Luo took a deep breath.

“She agreed. She also wants us to take Lou Wei along. She said we need to bring him to help clean up the evil people who grow arrogant with power, and he can’t see her until he’s earned enough merits.”

The other three: “…”

Were they really going to drag the Strongest of the Current Era around with them?

Is this for real?

An immense wave of pressure swept over them.

Mu Luo took another deep breath, as if he had already steeled himself.

“What’s done is done. Let’s listen to her. This is actually a good chance to learn Form Skills from Lou Wei. We need to get stronger.”

With that, Mu Luo went to give Lou Wei the reply, also passing along some of Ye Yao’s words.

Not long after.

Ye Yao heard the system’s voice.

【Your creation has been recognized by Lou Wei, who personally experienced the results of your group. Reward: 10 attribute points.】

【Unallocated Attribute Points: 40】

A father working in his daughter’s little workshop, now that’s an inversion of heaven and earth.

Still, Lou Wei was pretty diligent about handing out attribute points.

Before long, Ye Ge should be able to come into the world.

Should she make a teaser?

She felt like only a big spectacle would be worthy of celebrating Ye Ge’s birth.

It would be great if some powerful enemies showed up.

They could serve as celebratory fireworks for Ye Ge’s arrival.

Time passed quickly.

After bidding farewell to their families, Ye Yao and the others returned to the Countermeasures Bureau headquarters.

The white-haired loli glanced briefly at the sky.

She saw no trace of Lou Wei.

It seemed like he had taken the message she had Mu Luo pass along to heart.

What she meant was: now that he had joined Sequence Zero, he needed to participate in Sequence Zero’s activities.

Work when it was time to work, take out the trash when it was time to take out the trash.

No more hanging around in the sky, eating the northwest wind while staring at a loli all day long.

With “Ye Tong” keeping watch from the shadows, Ye Yao didn’t need anyone from the Countermeasures Bureau to protect her.

After hearing Ye Tong’s words, Lou Wei seemed to agree quite readily, as if he was making up for his previous mistakes.

Plus, since Ye Yao was staying at headquarters, and Fu Qi would also be there to keep an eye on things, Lou Wei temporarily set aside his duties and set off with Mu Luo and the others to accumulate merits.

Finally, there was no more spirit in the sky watching over her.

How wonderful~

On her first day back at headquarters, Ye Yao immediately hurried over to Tu Sheng’s house.

Chen Wan Ting and Fu Qi weren’t home.

Only Tu Sheng was sitting quietly in the living room.

When she saw Ye Yao arrive, she gently patted the spot next to her.

“Come, sit beside me.”

Ye Yao unceremoniously sat down.

She had come alone this time, without bringing the others.

After all, Lou Wei had already joined Sequence Zero, going the long way.

And Fu Qi didn’t have the nerve to take Lou Wei’s place as the ever-watching spirit in the sky.

Coupled with Ye Tong’s hint that she was always keeping an eye on things from the shadows.

Ye Yao was essentially free to do as she pleased all day long!

Except for still being monitored by the Ye Yao Circle when she went online, she didn’t really feel watched otherwise.

A faint smile lingered on Tu Sheng’s face, as if she already knew about the recent big events.

“There’s no one around now. You can top ¹ 顶ding, the mystery word that can mean all kinds of stuff from Top, Headbutt, Peak, Bump, Retort, Headwear, etc… Using “Top” here since it’s clearly what they’re implying. as much as you like.”

Ye Yao: “?”

She nearly choked on her own breath, her eyes filled with shock.

Excuse me? Have you been that pent up?

She had only mentioned it casually before. How could Tu Sheng still be thinking about it after all this time?

Had she been waiting to be topped all along?

Tu Sheng didn’t find it embarrassing at all.

“Lou Wei is making up for his mistakes in his own way. So I can make up for mine in my own way, don’t you think?”

Ye Yao was even more shocked.

You’re not even pretending anymore!

Is that how you make up for mistakes? You clearly just want my body!

Shameless woman! Fine, I’ll actually top you!

…Wait.

Thanks to Tu Sheng’s distraction, she had almost forgotten the real reason she came here.

She hadn’t come to play some non-family friendly games with Tu Sheng.

She had come to ask about the last missing member of Sequence Zero!

“We’ll talk about that later, we’ll talk about that later. Right now, it’s time for you to do your job. I’m going to make good use of you, so get ready!”

Tu Sheng sighed softly with a hint of regret.

“So you prefer being passive?”

Ye Yao’s face started to redden.

Not from embarrassment, but from anger.

Making her sound like some kind of weak bottom.

She had brought the strong-willed weakling Xia Lian to heel and made Wu Mi and the others obedient. How could she possibly be a weak bottom?

Tu Sheng was slandering her again!

Wait, this is clearly reverse psychology.

If she got too worked up, she would be playing right into Tu Sheng’s hands.

But she couldn’t let her off that easily either.

After thinking for 0.1 seconds, Ye Yao stood up and bent over under Tu Sheng’s puzzled gaze.

The next second.

Bam!

A headbutt unexpectedly rammed into Tu Sheng’s abdomen.

It wasn’t hard, but it was enough to draw a whimper from her.

“Ow! N-Not that kind of…”

With her weak constitution, which was practically a copy of Ye Yao’s base stats, a single “top” made her whimper.

Pathetically weak.

And she still tried to provoke others?

Tu Sheng was practically a small fry from some comic book.

“ Hmph ~ That’s what you get for being naughty.”

Ignoring Tu Sheng’s slightly resentful look, Ye Yao sat back down and unceremoniously gave her an order.

“Use your amazing ability right now and check on the last missing member of Sequence Zero. That’s why I came here.”

Tu Sheng rubbed her still slightly aching belly and sighed softly.

“I understand. My ability was restored because of you. You can use me however you want.”

With that, she activated her【Targeted Observation】and quickly used the available information to locate Ye Yao’s target.

After a moment.

Tu Sheng slowly closed her eyes.

“She seems to be in no danger. Shall I give you a detailed report on her situation? You might find it very interesting.”

“No need. Just knowing that the last member is safe is enough.”

Ye Yao felt completely relieved.

She had been wondering whether to quickly accumulate some attribute points to bring the person back.

But now, it seemed that there was no hurry.

She could just wait for Ye Ge to be born!

She would add the next hundred attribute points to her status panel. She had to reach B-rank!

Only then could she pull off all the clever little ideas in her head.

As for that missing member… let her suffer a bit longer. She only had to wait until her big sister Ye Yao got rich and powerful first!

Tu Sheng asked again.

“Are you really sure you don’t want to know? Her situation is actually quite interesting.”

“No means no. Let me keep some sense of anticipation. I’ll figure it out myself.”

“Really? I actually think you might not be able to bring her back.”

Ye Yao: “?”

Trying to tempt me into using a full-map hack?

Is there anything the System’s divine power can’t do?

Oh right, Tu Sheng can’t observe the system. Never mind.

“You want another top?”

Tu Sheng instinctively covered her belly.

“Can we not do the belly this time…?”

Author Note

I owe four more chapters, but I should be able to finish them this month. Just wait until I escape containment.
