Esper X Family – Chapter 62 – Newcomer, Don’t Mess It Up!

Unlike the heavy atmosphere of the old men on Lou Wei’s side, the woman playing the “Aunt” role was currently exchanging information with Xiao Jing.

“Is that child still shy around strangers? Will I scare her if I suddenly approach her? She looks so adorable in the photos, can I pat her?”

The woman who had come with Fang Ze also looked remarkably young.

Her skin was impeccably maintained, showing no trace of age.

Standing next to Xiao Jing, they looked like sisters.

If they walked down the street, they would easily attract attention from young men.

Xiao Jing replied gently, “Ye Yao is a sensible child. She’s easy to get along with, so don’t worry.”

Cheng Muxue let out a sigh of relief.

“That’s good. If I mess up, I’d become a sinner for eternity.”

Seemingly still uneasy, Cheng Muxue continued asking if there were any precautions to take.

She was clearly afraid of stepping on the little white furball’s landmines.

She didn’t seem like an S-rank Esper who stood above thousands.

Even Xiao Jing felt no pressure around her.

Instead, she found her very amiable.

Xiao Jing was certain Ye Yao wouldn’t dislike this “Aunt”.

Especially since Cheng Muxue had brought a whole crate of yogurt and two full boxes of snacks.

Anyone unaware might think that a wholesaler had come to deliver goods.

What child wouldn’t be happy seeing that?

In an ordinary family, the kid would’ve already been clinging to the Aunt, acting spoiled.

Fang Ze, on the other hand, hadn’t brought nearly as much.

He clearly had no intention of currying favor.

After all, he wasn’t here for prolonged interaction with Ye Yao. He was just here to reinforce the security before leaving soon.

Then, Fang Ze and Cheng Muxue sat down to review their final preparations.

Although their main purpose was security, they still needed to meet their target.

Familiarizing themselves with her face would help avoid complications later.

Next, Xiao Jing briefed them on Ye Yao’s daily life to prevent any accidental missteps that might lower the little girl’s favorability.

The two S-rank Espers listened attentively.

The Prophet’s designation of her as the world destroyer carried too much weight.

Even S-rank Espers had to take her seriously.

After a while.

In the room, Ye Yao finally heard Mom Xiao Jing knocking on the door.

“Ye Yao, Little Luo, your uncle and aunt are here to visit. Come out and greet them~”

“Coming.”

Ye Yao and Luo Jianhua exchanged a glance and stood up in unison.

She could finally see what kind of S-rank Espers these visitors were.

And whether the Found Family System could incorporate them into the family.

Otherwise, Ye Yao wouldn’t be able to dig out the truth.

Without understanding them, she would be stuck in awkward, closed-off conversations.

Before leaving, Ye Yao glanced at Mo Qiuli.

“You can stay here and keep watching anime. No need to come out.”

“Mhm.”

Mo Qiuli remained engrossed in her magical girl anime.

There was no need to worry about her causing problems.

Then, Ye Yao and Luo Jianhua walked into the living room.

The two unfamiliar figures sitting on the sofa came into view.

The man had a tall, upright posture, dressed in a dark gray wool cardigan.

The mechanical watch on his left wrist shone with a cold gleam.

His facial features were firm and resolute, exuding steadiness.

Rеad оո KatRеaԁіոɡСαfе

Although he didn’t radiate warmth, Ye Yao could sense an overwhelming aura of high stats from him.

This uncle looks strong!

Ye Yao then turned to look at the woman.

She wore a light blue striped cotton shirt with the top two buttons undone, a small silver leaf pendant resting on her collarbone.

Her nose bridge was straight, and her lips naturally curved into a gentle smile.

She didn’t seem like an elder.

She was more like a kindergarten teacher with years of experience.

She looked incredibly approachable.

Ye Yao couldn’t help but marvel at how diverse S-rank Espers are.

“Hello, Uncle, Auntie.”

She greeted them simply, keeping her composure.

Showing a slight distance was fine.

After all, Lou Wei and Xiao Jing had adopted her from an orphanage.

They had never held her as a baby, and there was no blood relation between them.

This “family” label was purely nominal.

Fortunately, the Found Family System didn’t disappoint.

【Target characters detected. Kinship is also a familial element that cannot be ignored. Even without blood relations, fostering goodwill can lead to future benefits. Make them reconsider their impression of you.】

Now we’re talking!

Ye Yao glanced at the top of their heads.

First, the uncle:

【Fang Ze is observing your every move and has no intention of deepening his interaction with you.】

【Ability: Law Space

Mental Power: 7,684

Strength: 860

Stamina: 782

Rеαd оո ΚаtReаⅾіոɡCafе

Agility: 626】

Although his attributes weren’t as high as Lou Wei’s, his 7,684 mental power still made Ye Yao feel suffocated.

He is definitely a heavyweight, just not as heavy as Lou Wei.

If his ability had any advanced mechanisms, Ye Yao would’ve been terrified.

This uncle is no joke!

What about the aunt?

【Cheng Muxue is trying to figure out how to start a conversation with you.】

【Ability: Mind Network

Mental Power: 5,286

Strength: 328

Stamina: 286

Agility: 240】

Huh?

This aunt’s stats are… a bit low.

Looks like she only broke through to S-rank recently.

If Ye Yao allocated all her attribute points and multiplied with Fission, her attributes would be higher than Cheng Muxue’s.

With this comparison, Ye Yao felt even more at ease with Cheng Muxue.

Low stats are good!

Low stats are great!

After being steamrolled by powerhouses, seeing someone with modest numbers felt refreshingly approachable.

This aunt seems troubled over how to start a conversation.

Ye Yao could relate.

Since she was adopted, Cheng Muxue couldn’t even use the classic “I held you when you were a baby” line.

So, Ye Yao took the initiative.

She eyed the large boxes nearby.

“Um… are those gifts for us?”

“Yes! Come see if you like them. If not, I can take you shopping later.”

Cheng Muxue responded quickly, like a relative eager to bond with her niece.

She had no plans to stay distant like Fang Ze.

What kind of person wouldn’t want to dote on a cute, sensible girl?

Especially since Xiao Jing had vouched for her.

Cheng Muxue held no prejudice against Ye Yao, even if she was the prophesied world destroyer.

At that moment, Fang Ze smoothly took out a box of milk.

“This is a small gift for you. We came in a hurry, so it’s not much. Next time, don’t hold back. You can ask for whatever you want, even if it’s expensive things.”

“Ah, okay. Thank you, Uncle.”

Ye Yao tilted her head as she stared at the milk.

Milk…?

Didn’t I say yogurt?

Or do adults see no difference between the two?

Then, she noticed Fang Ze’s gaze shifting elsewhere, seemingly toward her room.

Did he sense Mo Qiuli’s presence?

Let’s take a look.

【Fang Ze is considering whether to use his ability to impose a “Space Jumping Prohibition” law in your room.】

Ye Yao: “???”

Uncle, newcomer—don’t mess it up!

Happiness is one day ² Apparently from a poem called “A Song of Contentment”, where it basically says that happiness and sadness just lasts for a day. If you don’t dwell on it, you’ll be content.
