Esper X Family – Chapter 69 – Never Has There Been Such a Wonderful Development!

The night remained calm and uneventful.

Lou Wei and the other two even took the initiative to search for traces of the enemy.

Yet, in the end, they found nothing.

Then, news of Sequence 012 came from a neighboring city.

Another bottom-rank high-risk Sequence Esper had been eliminated.

The reputation of “Sequence 0” began to skyrocket in the Esper world.

An organization of high-risk Sequence Espers that hunted other high-risk sequences.

This extremely contradictory group had many people talking.

Even some criminal Espers became more cautious, trying to avoid getting themselves listed in the sequence ranking.

Morning arrived.

Fang Ze could only come to one conclusion.

“Perhaps Sequence 012 has truly given up on this place. He’s lucky to not have crossed paths with us.”

Cheng Muxue sighed lightly.

“We’ll keep watch again tonight. We’ll head back if we still find nothing. We can’t stay away from our original posts for too long.”

Even though she had released false information in the Mind Network.

There was still no movement last night.

Could it really be due to unfamiliarity with the environment?

Cheng Muxue felt like she was becoming overly paranoid.

Lou Wei’s expression remained calm.

Even though they hadn’t caught Sequence 012, he showed no sign of disappointment.

As long as the final outcome remained unchanged, it was fine.

“You two go and rest. Leave the rest to me.”

Fang Ze shook his head. “I don’t need rest. I’ll check for any gaps in the Law Space I set up and ensure it can last as long as possible before we leave.”

Cheng Muxue hesitated, then turned to Lou Wei and spoke. “Can I go see Ye Yao?”

After two nights of constant vigilance and paranoia, Cheng Muxue’s nerves had been tense without relaxation.

Perhaps seeing something cute would help her unwind.

Ye Yao and the others were a good choice.

Lou Wei nodded.

“It’s fine. Meeting more often isn’t a bad thing.”

“I hope Ye Yao can lower her guard around me a bit.”

Thinking about this made Cheng Muxue feel a little frustrated.

She wanted to pat such a cute little girl too.

She even felt a bit envious when she saw Xiao Jing doing it.

But Ye Yao didn’t seem to be close to other relatives, leaving Cheng Muxue unable to interact with her.

Cheng Muxue couldn’t help but wonder.

Am I really that scary?

If only I could connect heart-to-heart with Ye Yao.

Would be great if she knew that I’m actually a very gentle aunt.

There’s no need to be afraid at all.

Unfortunately, connecting with Ye Yao’s mind was a risky option.

It would expose too many things.

Now wasn’t the right time.

Afterward, Cheng Muxue followed Lou Wei back to the living room of apartment 1101.

Xiao Jing was preparing breakfast for the two girls.

Lou Wei casually picked up a newspaper.

Cheng Muxue could only sit on the sofa and turn on the TV, then wait for Ye Yao and Luo Jianhua to wake up.

The waiting time was boring.

Cheng Muxue glanced at Lou Wei, who was reading the newspaper nearby.

“Lou Wei, do you know how to get along better with Ye Yao? She doesn’t seem to fully accept me as her aunt yet.”

“Ask Xiao Jing.”

Lou Wei replied indifferently.

Rеαⅾ οո ΚatReαԁіոɡCаfe

He was only responsible for defeating villains who tried to get close to Ye Yao.

He hadn’t paid attention to such matters.

After all, he rarely initiated conversations with Ye Yao, much like an irresponsible father.

Even the morning greetings were always started by Ye Yao.

Lou Wei would simply respond with a calm tone.

Answering Cheng Muxue’s question was simply beyond him.

Xiao Jing overheard Cheng Muxue’s question as she placed the prepared breakfast on the table.

“Can’t you just find topics she likes to talk about?”

“You’ve only just met. This is the best way to get closer.”

“Topics she likes?”

Cheng Muxue pondered.

She had learned about them from the preference analyst.

Mainly games and anime.

Cheng Muxue knew nothing about these topics, and forcing a conversation would be awkward.

Should she try talking about older cartoons with Ye Yao?

But Ye Yao didn’t seem to like that type.

Thinking about this made Cheng Muxue feel down.

She hadn’t even caught the villains threatening Ye Yao.

Nor had she improved their relationship.

Even though they were relatives, they were merely acquaintances for now.

She hadn’t found the mole, and she had also fallen into paranoia.

This mission was truly a failure.

At least Fang Ze could set up the Law Space, creating a relatively safe fortress for Ye Yao.

But what about her, Cheng Muxue?

She couldn’t just impose something like a mental imprint on her colleagues here.

Was there any S-rank Esper that was more embarrassing than her?

Wait.

That S-rank Esper who was thrown into the river probably counted as one.

Just then, Cheng Muxue faintly heard the sound of a door opening.

The two little ones must have woken up.

Ye Yao walked into the living room, yawning.

She habitually greeted the mysterious newspaper-reading man with a “Good morning.”

Then she noticed someone else in the living room.

It’s the mind-reading aunt!

Ye Yao’s drowsy mind immediately became alert.

Thankfully, the mind-reading wasn’t undetectable.

Otherwise, she would have been exposed in no time.

Ye Yao quickly added.

“Good morning, Auntie.”

“Good morning, Ye Yao and Luo Jianhua.”

Cheng Muxue smiled in response, her weary state from paranoia finally easing a bit.

Seeing this scene made all the fatigue worth it.

Ye Yao also used the system to observe Cheng Muxue’s state.

【Cheng Muxue is mentally fatigued due to paranoia.

She is also troubled about how to get closer to you.

She desires to learn some small secrets about you without relying on the Mind Network.】

【Cheng Muxue wishes to connect heart-to-heart with you. If you are willing to shorten the distance between your hearts, she will be very happy, and Host will be rewarded with 5 attribute points.】

It’s here!

The Found Family System task!

Ye Yao didn’t focus on the 5 attribute points at first.

Instead, she was more concerned that Cheng Muxue was still paranoid.

It was even affecting her mental state.

She resembled an overworked office worker who was burnt out after a twelve-hour shift.

This made Ye Yao feel a little guilty.

What can I do?

It’s all the fault of that useless system!

Reαd oո KαtRеаԁіոɡСαfе

She didn’t want this either.

Who asked the system to connect automatically?

Ye Yao felt that she needed to compensate her aunt.

Otherwise, she would feel bad.

The mistakes of the useless system were actually left for her to clean up.

Ye Yao thought that she was being too kind.

“Auntie, if you’re not busy, would you like to come to my room and watch a movie together after breakfast?”

Cheng Muxue was slightly stunned, then her heart was filled with joy.

She was actually invited by Ye Yao!

“Sure, since it’s my niece’s invitation, I won’t hold back.”

Cheng Muxue retracted her earlier thoughts.

This mission still had its gains, after all.

At least her relationship with Ye Yao had improved.

If Ye Yao ever strayed down the wrong path in the future, she could at least serve as an anchor to guide her back, right?

“Hmm, maybe we should prepare more snacks.”

“Don’t worry, Auntie brought plenty of snacks and yogurt this time. There’s definitely enough.”

Cheng Muxue temporarily set aside the anomalies in the Mind Network.

After all, she couldn’t find the problem.

Staying paranoid would only affect her mood and state.

It was better to focus on building a better relationship with Ye Yao.

Cheng Muxue could already see a future where she could connect with Ye Yao heart to heart without needing the Mind Network.

Never has there been such a wonderful development before!

Author Note

I’ll change the update schedule when I have time. I’ve heard that posting at night affects the statistics. By the way, the second chapter will be posted later. I’ve been looking for places to rent today, and I wasted a lot of time with no result.
