Esper X Family – Chapter 697 – Live Broadcast Begins

“Mystery guests? Could it be…?”

The audience who rushed to the livestream were filled with anticipation.

Who could be a small-time figure if they were someone the streamer knew?

Anyone appearing as a guest on Yao Catty’s stream was definitely a heavyweight!

Just like before, there were sometimes other voices in the stream besides Xing Lan’s.

Aside from Xing Lan, there seemed to be two or three other mysterious girls’ voices that showed up, as if they were connected to the streamer via voice call.

Although they never showed their faces, the viewers, many of whom fancied themselves as modern-day Sherlocks, quickly deduced the identity of one of those mysterious voices. Without a doubt, that was the world-famous Magical Girl Crimson Wheel!

Whether it was the tone or the timbre of the voice, it perfectly matched her identity.

The audience had compared it to the character voices in the magical girl movies and confirmed it was absolutely the legendary Lou Weiwei!

That surprising collaboration had been an absolute sensation.

No one expected such a majestic, unparalleled powerhouse to repeatedly appear in public under the identity of “Lou Weiwei”.

Some even began to suspect that Lou Weiwei was the real one, and Lou Wei was just an alias.

Who would believe that the Strongest of the Current Era could be so… peculiar?

Unless he was being forced into it.

But according to available intel, that man was the type to treat himself like a firecracker, ready to blow up at a moment’s notice, never bowing to pressure.

And since Yao Catty was universally acknowledged as a good girl, the only conclusion was that Lou Wei was doing this willingly.

Verification complete; Lou Weiwei truly exists!

The viewers were ecstatic!

Unfortunately, these mysterious guests didn’t appear on stream very often.

And they could only be heard, never seen.

Some bold viewers even asked Yao Catty to persuade Lou Weiwei to become a streamer herself.

But things never developed to the point of such excitement.

Die-hard fans had to settle for repeatedly savoring whatever clips were available.

It was easy to see just how popular such collaborations were.

So, when Yao Catty announced a mysterious guest for this stream, it instantly ignited everyone’s excitement.

“Crimson Wheel! Crimson Wheel! Crimson Wheel!”

“Is Mom and Dad here?”

“Being both mom and dad… Lou Weiwei is magnificent, no further explanation needed.”

“Mama Xiao Jing is fuming!”

“Not really. Mama Xiao Jing will just treat Lou Weiwei like a daughter.”

“Such a messy web of relationships!”

Ye Yao glanced at the barrage of ecstatic comments flooding the screen, then glanced at the two people who were ready.

“Ahem~ That’s right, the mysterious guests I’ve invited this time are none other than the legendary magical girl who rivals the sun, Crimson Wheel! And the magical girl who commands the void, Void Heaven!

I pulled a lot of strings to get them here, so welcome to my humble little stream! I’m so moved I could cry~”

Ye Yao adopted the meek tone of a small-time streamer, which was highly entertaining. Anyone listening would think she was just some nobody in the streaming world.

The audience burst out laughing, and the screen was once again flooded with meme comments, making the whole scene hilariously theatrical.

“Alright, enough joking. Let’s get this stream started properly. For maximum effect, we’ll turn on the camera so everyone can feast their eyes on the stunning beauty of these two legendary magical girls~”

Ye Yao rarely used a camera in her past streams. She usually just streamed with a default avatar and never showed her face, maintaining at least a shred of mystery.

This time, however, she turned on the camera but still didn’t show her own face. Instead, she aimed the lens at the two girls sitting upright on the sofa.

The stream was taking place in the living room!

The overall vibe was like some kind of variety talk show.

Ye Yao wasn’t visible on screen, but her voice kept coming through the broadcast.

“Ta-da! Crimson Wheel and Void Heaven makes their dazzling debut! Our big sister Crimson Wheel has spoken on stream before, but big sister Void Heaven is joining us for the first time, and she seems a little uncomfortable.”

Both Lou Weiwei and Fu Qiqi appeared in their magical girl forms, fully clad in battle attire.

It gave off the feeling that they could only appear as magical girls to avoid exposing their true identities.

Lou Weiwei looked calmly at the camera, completely unflustered, displaying the unshakable core of a cosmic-level powerhouse.

“Hello, everyone… I am… Magical Girl Crimson Wheel.”

The orange-red-haired girl seemed to hesitate for a moment, but eventually managed to finish her brief introduction.

Her slightly cool voice reached the audience and instantly triggered a storm of comments.

Wasn’t this a form of face-to-face interaction?

Only in Yao Catty’s stream could a bunch of bloodthirsty viewers get a chance to connect with legendary figures!

Especially ones as beloved as these magical girls!

“She’s talking to me! Even if I die now, it’s worth it!”

“Is this really free content? I’ve got to send some super chats!”

“I can’t die until I marry someone like her.”

“I’m a real man! A real man should marry someone like Crimson Wheel!”

“Mama! Mama!”

Lou Weiwei could clearly see the barrage of comments scrolling across the big screen behind Ye Yao.

Even though she could stay calm while facing off against powerful enemies and even activate her self-destruct form to go head-to-head with interstellar overlords, these bizarre comments were still hard to handle.

She found it hard to imagine that Ye Yao could face such unhinged remarks on a regular basis and seem completely used to it.

Lou Weiwei glanced at the silver-gray-haired girl beside her… Fu Qiqi, who was making her first appearance on a live stream.

She looked like she was putting on a brave smile, as if she had lost all color.

No wonder she had a vague sense of foreboding a few days ago.

At first, Fu Qiqi thought it was just her imagination and didn’t take it seriously.

Lou Weiwei hadn’t told her anything in advance either. In fact, she had quietly helped Fu Qiqi with her work and even carved out some extra rest time for her.

Only today did she finally mention Ye Yao’s invitation.

So this was what she had been waiting for!

Fu Qiqi knew Lou Weiwei wasn’t that kind-hearted!

She had even set a trap to keep Fu Qiqi from running away!

Now, Fu Qiqi truly understood just how shameless a father could be when it came to spoiling his daughter.

She retracted her previous assessment of Lou Weiwei as a “robotic human”.

This kind of despicable doting father was a rare breed!

“Hello, everyone… I’m Magical Girl Void Heaven… It’s a pleasure to be on this show…”

Faced with Ye Yao’s expectant gaze, Fu Qiqi finally managed to force out her introduction.

As a magical girl on the same level as Crimson Wheel, Void Heaven was undoubtedly world-renowned as well.

With both beauty and power, who could possibly dislike her?

In the beginning, Void Heaven didn’t have Sublimation Magic yet and was far behind Crimson Wheel’s Solar Flare Form, her popularity always overshadowed.

It wasn’t until recently, when Void Heaven’s Sublimation Magic, the “Void Heaven Ring”, made its debut, that she caught up with Crimson Wheel, and the two were hailed as the strongest twin stars beneath Tong Yao.

“Void Heaven! Void Heaven! Void Heaven!”

“Mama! Mama!”

“Void Heaven’s a bit shy, it makes her even cuter!”

“Shy? I think she looks more embarrassed and awkward.”

“What the, why didn’t you say so earlier!”

Ye Yao wore a satisfied smile.

Too bad her uncle “Divine Law” was on a long business trip. Otherwise, she would have dragged him in for a cameo too.

Oh well, for this show, Lou Weiwei and Fu Qiqi would have to fill in the spotlight!

Author Note

To be honest, there’s no way around it. It’s too complicated. I only discovered that you can use illustrations on Fanqie these past few days, which means that I haven’t been able to give my previous readers a good experience. Sigh, it can only be enjoyed on a smaller scale.
