Esper X Family – Chapter 481 – Final Phase, Parallel World? (35/40)

To put on a good act, Ye Yao was merciless enough to even hit herself.

Even though it was just a flick on the forehead, it looked like she had put some force into it.

All to flesh out her persona!

These sacrifices were necessary so she could slack off naturally in the future.

Ye Ge withdrew her hand.

“For your sake, I’ll let him off the hook this time. We’ll meet again.”

The next moment, the mature black-haired woman vanished.

In reality, Ye Yao had deactivated Attribute Fission and Body Fission.

Ye Ge was perfectly reclaimed!

Of course, her next appearance would surely bring a huge surprise to the Countermeasures Bureau.

Ye Yao turned to look at Lou Wei, who was lying on the ground.

Is he unconscious?

It seemed like he had blacked out the moment Ye Ge threw him to the ground.

He had managed to stay conscious while getting beaten until just now.

Sigh. The Dayun Truck is truly something else, both godly and weak.

At least he’s thick-skinned!

“Uncle, can you come give me a hand?”

Fang Ze met Ye Yao’s pleading gaze and, without hesitation, walked over.

He breathed a sigh of relief once Ye Ge disappeared.

At least she didn’t plan to beat him up too.

He had thought that he would get knocked out with a casual kick like Fu Qi.

He had dodged a bullet.

“Leave Lou Wei to me. You go back and rest. I’ll let you know when he wakes up.”

“Mm-hmm. Thank you for your hard work, Uncle.”

Fang Ze was silent for a moment.

Rеаԁ on ΚаtRеαdinɡCαfe

“…Thank you for still calling me Uncle.”

Ye Yao looked confused when she heard this.

“What are you saying, Uncle? You’ll always be my family. Everyone will.”

At this, Fang Ze’s emotional walls cracked again.

【I really deserve to die.】

He would have to figure out how to make it up to her later.

【Fang Ze regards you as his true niece. Familial Love value increased. Reward: 5 Attribute Points.】

As Fang Ze carried the unconscious Lou Wei away, Ye Yao wore an “all according to plan ¹ ” expression.

Perfect!

She would happily eat these Attribute Points too!

Then, Ye Yao returned to the Countermeasures Bureau headquarters, while Ye Tong went to meet her friends in Sequence Zero.

Thus, the Interstellar Overlord conscription incident came to an end.

All that was left was for Ye Ge to make frequent appearances.

As the Civil Engineering Esper team launched their grand construction work, Ye Yao returned to her little loli nest.

“Welcome back, Sister.”

“Cat, where’s Big Black Cat?”

“Does Ye Yao need my power? My Ouroboros Cycle is ready.”

“Waah. Can the expired big sister turn into a little girl?”

Ye Yao first patted Luo Jianhua, who had come up to greet her.

Then, she pushed aside Fang Tang, who had come to ask about Ye Ge’s whereabouts.

“Human, the Big Black Cat doesn’t want to see you.”

“Huh? Why!?”

“Because you’re too sugary.”

After answering, Ye Yao looked at Wu Mi, who seemed a bit expectant.

“Ye Ge won’t be permanent just yet. I’ll need it after a while. You can help then, Wu Mi.”

“Mm-hmm! You can use my power anytime, Ye Yao.”

Wu Mi smiled contentedly.

As for Mo Qiuli’s request…

“Sure.”

“Eh? Really? The expired big sister can still become a Magical Girl?”

“Hmph~ I can turn into whatever I want. It’s just a black-haired, golden-eyed loli. Of course, Ye Ge can take other forms too!”

“Yay!” Mo Qiuli was overjoyed.

Of course, Ye Ge’s loli form would probably only be for these little ones to see.

In front of others, she would definitely need to use the more mature big-sister form. That one gave the strongest sense of intimidation!

Alright.

Time to see how many Attribute Points she had earned in total.

After beating up the interstellar stray dog, it seemed like she had gained quite a few Attribute Points.

【Lou Wei is now known to the world as the Strongest of the Current Era. His prestige has greatly increased. Reward: 10 Attribute Points.】

In the end, Lou Wei had only provided 10 Attribute Points.

Still, it was fine.

After all, unlike the others, he hadn’t made any major breakthrough in power.

He already had 10,000 mental power and an exclusive form skill.

Ye Yao had thought that Lou Wei might break through on the spot and come up with an even more advanced form skill.

Instead, he almost blew up fighting the Interstellar Overlord with Fu Qi.

What a waste!

【Host has made a domineering appearance, gaining immense prestige as the leader of various families. Your popularity has reached #1 in the world. Reward: 20 Attribute Points.】

Not bad.

Ye Yao was barely satisfied.

Rеαd оո KatRеаⅾinɡCаfе

Even though her name had been leaked, it didn’t matter.

No one could disturb her slacking off.

Her mental power was already B-rank, and even the Dayun Truck couldn’t crush her anymore. She had also just kicked an interstellar stray dog to death. So what if her identity was exposed?

If worst came to worst, she would just keep playing the good little girl and let her alt accounts, Ye Tong and Ye Ge, handle everything.

【Ye Ge has made a stunning appearance. You have earned the awe of many, bringing immense influence to the family. Reward: 20 Attribute Points.】

And that wasn’t all.

【Ye Ge has successfully resolved the root cause of the interstellar crisis. With absolute power and an extraordinary aura, she becomes humanity’s savior. Reward: 20 Attribute Points.】

Ye Yao almost couldn’t keep a straight face at this.

A savior?

That was quite the reversal of heaven and earth.

Logically, she was the most likely one to destroy the world.

And Ye Ge was even more prone to showing that tendency. She could just casually use Bluestar as a cup. Who could stop her?

Savior? That’s quite the dark joke.

But all in all, Ye Yao had single-handedly earned 60 Attribute Points!

And since Ye Ge was also her, she had become the undisputed victor of this incident!

Unrivaled!

【Unallocated Attribute Points: 170】

“Jackpot!”

If she put all these points into mental power, it would be another nice boost.

But 500 mental power was already plenty enough for Ye Yao.

With cubic amplification, she was already invincible across heaven and earth.

Neither the Solar Corona Form nor the Void Form could match her ability.

That was the charm of raw stats.

So, what else could these Attribute Points be used for?

“Let’s check on the last family member first.”

Reαԁ оո ΚаtRеaԁіոgСаfе

After Ye Yao’s mental power reached B-rank, the Found Family System seemed to have undergone its own transformation.

It was just like an ability.

How come you get a B-rank strengthening?

And you even ate 100 Attribute Points!

But none of that mattered. After the upgrade, the system seemed to have become more user-friendly.

It would definitely need a lot of Attribute Points from now on.

For example, finding the next family member would cost 100 Attribute Points.

This haul would take care of more than half of what she had saved up.

“System, open Family Location Sharing.”

As the Family Location panel opened, the system’s voice rang out in her mind.

【Do you want to precisely locate the target’s whereabouts?】

It really had become more user-friendly.

Ye Yao: “Yes.”

She wanted to see where the last member of Sequence Zero had run off to.

It would take 100 Attribute Points to bring them back.

She hadn’t even earned that many from this grueling battle!

The system quickly gave its answer.

【Scan complete. Target is located in a parallel timeline where the Host does not exist. Confirmed to be an individual from this spacetime.】

Ye Yao: “?”

System, what are you… saying ² Bleach reference. ?

“What do you mean by a world where I don’t exist?”
