Esper X Family – Chapter 669 – Tu Sheng Is Still Provoking!

White Comet paid no heed to the undisguised wariness in Xia Lian’s eyes.

As a commander overseeing an entire expeditionary fleet, there was truly no need for her to argue with a young human girl.

Thus, Xia Lian’s efforts were essentially hissing at thin air, and even her “duel invitation” was completely ignored.

At this moment, everyone was in the spacious lounge.

Luo Jianhua and the other girls were also here, including Silver Frost and Black Haze, who had recently joined their little group.

Even Sen Tong and Yi Ling, who usually stayed holed up in the world within the painting, were present.

The three factions represented three different origins, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

At a glance.

The little Bluestar girls, led by Luo Jianhua, were curiously gazing at the starry sky through the window, clearly experiencing the feeling of being guests in outer space for the first time.

Compared to Bluestar’s space stations, the environment on this interstellar spaceship was incomparably more comfortable, feeling just like being at home.

Silver Frost and Black Haze didn’t react with as much novelty, since they had previously worked on these very spaceships and were long accustomed to it.

Sen Tong and Yi Ling, however, were brimming with interest.

They gladly welcomed the non-Bluestar civilization pledging allegiance to Ye Yao.

As a rare alien species, Sen Tong felt the need to strengthen this small minority group.

Otherwise, it would be far too strange for Ye Yao, as an interstellar overlord, to have only two alien servants.

As guests who also came from the stars, Sen Tong and Yi Ling naturally felt more affinity toward White Comet and her people.

Of course, the great Ye Yao still ranked first!

Loyalty!

“Cat! Let’s go explore the Candy Ship together!”

Fang Tang crashed into Ye Yao’s arms, brimming with boundless energy.

Ever since boarding the spaceship, some switch in Fang Tang had been flipped, unleashing an astonishing enthusiasm for new and exciting things.

Just like now.

She was eager to drag Ye Yao along to explore every corner.

But Ye Yao didn’t have that kind of leisure at the moment.

One fission body was hosting a livestream, while another was busy in a parallel timeline preparing the Magical Girl Spinoff Volume 2, while also keeping the family members there company.

So, Ye Yao could only stuff the little Cubic Sugar into Xia Lian’s arms and let her go play on her own.

“Human, I’ll explore with you when I have time. For now, go bother your Sister Xia Lian.”

“Eh?”

Caught off guard by Ye Yao’s shove, Xia Lian even forgot to silently hiss at White Comet.

In the end, she could only bend down to play with Fang Tang, as if she had pressed some kind of switch.

Perhaps it was just a conditioned reflex.

Ye Yao turned her attention back to White Comet.

“Everything that needs to be handled afterward should be pretty much taken care of, right?”

The “afterward” here naturally referred to the Watcher Civilization’s response.

It had been a week since the expeditionary fleet surrendered.

Deputy Commander Gray Marsh, who had been nothing but a roadside dog, had died on the spot in the Watcher Civilization’s core territory. That would certainly cause some uproar and backlash.

After that, Ye Yao allowed White Comet to reestablish contact with the Watcher Civilization, solely to handle the ensuing troublesome matters.

This was to prevent the Watcher Civilization from feeling provoked and hastily building another batch of warships to send to the Solar System.

Although more spaceships would be welcome, Ye Yao still wanted to show respect for White Comet’s, Silver Frost’s, and Black Haze’s homeworld.

She was, after all, the head of a family that loved its members’ extended relations!

According to reports, apart from that old dog Gray Marsh’s faction, the residents of the Watcher Civilization were generally civilized and friendly, with the higher-ups mostly leaning toward peace.

If it really came down to it, Ye Yao could help them purge the troublemakers.

“I’ve successfully reestablished contact with the Watcher Civilization. I’ve mostly handled what you asked. They won’t send any more fleets.”

White Comet was highly efficient, evidently capable of influencing an entire civilization’s decision-making direction, easily getting the high-level authorities to accept everything that had happened in the Solar System.

The official explanation was that Gray Marsh had brought it upon himself.

With that man dead, the hidden obstructions within the Watcher Civilization seemed to clear up, and the new decisions encountered little resistance.

At that moment, another girl walked over slowly.

“After all, they used the Evolutionary Divine Machine to run a future projection again. With the latest decisions fed in, the results came back favorable to the Watcher Civilization, so the decisions passed without a hitch.”

The newcomer was Tu Sheng, who was also aboard the spaceship.

How could this scene be complete without her?

Tu Sheng shook her head with an expression of genuine inferiority.

“Although initiating a projection aimed at Ye Yao consumes a lot of resources, it’s far more capable than me. I can only do it once, but the Evolutionary Divine Machine can run projections repeatedly. I can’t help but feel inadequate.”

White Comet shot Tu Sheng a subtle glance, surprised that this “prophet” truly had real abilities.

Even White Comet hadn’t known that the Watcher Civilization had urgently expended vast resources to activate the Evolutionary Divine Machine.

Just how far could those eyes see?

“Not too far. Roughly any event in the past, present, or future. Sometimes, I can also observe people’s inner thoughts.

Well, except for anything strongly tied to Ye Yao. I’ve learned that lesson the hard way.”

Tu Sheng demonstrated a neat little mind-reading trick, which was even more convenient than Ye Yao’s.

Although her mental power wasn’t particularly high, abilities like【Targeted Observation】, similar to Fang Tang’s【Resonance】, didn’t require much mental power at all.

Ye Yao strongly suspected that this was the world giving Tu Sheng a built-in cheat, almost like a self-protection mechanism.

If it weren’t for Tu Sheng, Ye Yao might have started in an orphanage and entered a wild growth phase.

Without a stable environment suited for slacking off, she might indeed have developed some bad intentions.

Although Tu Sheng’s forceful interventions had also caused Ye Yao to constantly stumble into the Dayun Truck.

Tears just thinking about it!

“It’s fine. I give you permission to keep observing me,” Ye Yao said magnanimously.

Tu Sheng shrank her neck, as if recalling the pain of her ability shattering: “Uh… that’s probably not a good idea, right? Having an ability shatter doesn’t feel great.”

Even though Tu Sheng could endure a great deal and was willing to sacrifice herself to some extent, unnecessary suffering was best avoided.

This kind of thing couldn’t be controlled.

“I can always fix it for you again.”

Ye Yao suddenly felt a bit nostalgic for the version of Tu Sheng with her eyes covered.

That broken, helpless air gave one the feeling of being able to do whatever they wanted with her. Unlike now, where:

“It still hurts. Better to just have you ‘top’ me. At least when you do it, it’s not as painful as having my ability shatter.”

Still provoking! Still provoking!

And openly provoking right in front of everyone else!

Even more insufferable than Xing Lan!

White Comet’s gaze turned somewhat subtle.

Based on her understanding of human culture, this was a way of expressing closeness, right?

Right…?

Should she do the same?

White Comet looked at the somewhat petite Ye Yao before her and, for some reason, felt a pang of guilt.

Even though Ye Yao’s core was incredibly powerful, acknowledged by the cosmic races “All-Knowing Demon Eye” and “Memory Spirit” as a supreme cosmic overlord…

from a visual standpoint, she still looked like a cub of her species.

The only desire White Comet could feel toward Ye Yao was the urge to protect.

However, if it were Ye Ge or Ye Tong’s form, that would be a different story.

Author Note

Wow, I suddenly realized I’ve reached 1.4 million words, but it probably won’t reach 1.5 million. Although there’s still some stuff to write, it won’t last long.
