Esper X Family – Chapter 70 – The Advantage Is Mine!

Just as Ye Yao finished her breakfast.

Mo Qiuli arrived at lightning speed.

At this moment, the number of people in Ye Yao’s room had increased from the usual three to four.

Cheng Muxue sat behind the three girls, suddenly feeling like she was taking care of children.

But the children were all big and quiet, requiring no effort at all.

Cheng Muxue hadn’t felt this relaxed in a long time.

It was as if she had entered paradise.

The three girls were all adorable, making her want to hug and kiss them.

Unfortunately, none of them were the type to cling to adults for affection.

Luo Jianhua appeared very composed.

As a genius Esper, she wouldn’t act spoiled with anyone.

Mo Qiuli was like a shy little animal, deliberately trying to lower her presence so that no one would notice her.

As for Ye Yao, Cheng Muxue didn’t even dare to hope for anything.

She felt that being invited into the room was already a blessing.

Relying on her was completely out of the question.

Ye Yao was sandwiched between Mo Qiuli and Luo Jianhua as she searched for a suitable movie to watch.

It couldn’t be too serious, nor too boring.

An animated film would be best.

They had stopped watching magical girl-related stuff.

Ever since Ye Yao agreed to spend the night at Mo Qiuli’s house tomorrow, the latter had treated magical girl anime indifferently.

What a fickle loli!

But Ye Yao could understand.

After all, it’s easier to go from frugality to luxury than the other way around.

Magical girl anime was originally just a substitute when they couldn’t engage in magical girl activities.

Mo Qiuli would be able to unleash her true self tomorrow.

So, why bother watching magical girl anime now?

However, Mo Qiuli probably didn’t dare to say much now.

After all, there was an unfamiliar adult nearby.

She had completely reverted to the socially anxious loli she was on the first day they met.

She clung quietly to Ye Yao, not daring to look at Cheng Muxue behind her.

Mo Qiuli hadn’t seen Cheng Muxue before, but now that she had, she felt that Ye Yao’s aunt had an overwhelming presence!

Her Mercury intuition told her that if she ever became Cheng Muxue’s enemy, she would end up in a defeat CG.

She was even scarier than Flame Demon from that night.

Although Ye Yao had mentioned that Cheng Muxue was an Esper…

Mo Qiuli didn’t know that she was actually so powerful.

As the movie started playing, Ye Yao began pondering a question.

Cheng Muxue’s mood had improved.

She wasn’t as paranoid as before.

So, how should she complete the so-called Found Family System task?

Five attribute points weren’t negligible at this stage.

The mission was about shortening the distance between their hearts.

But merely accepting Cheng Muxue on the surface didn’t seem to be enough.

It seemed like Cheng Muxue wanted to learn some small secrets without using the Mind Network.

Ye Yao thought that it wasn’t about letting her discover them accidentally but rather telling her directly.

But what counted as ‘small secret’?

As Ye Yao pondered this.

The day passed in a flash.

Mo Qiuli went home to continue waiting for Ye Yao and Luo Jianhua’s arrival.

Cheng Muxue bid farewell to Ye Yao and Luo Jianhua as she left the room with satisfaction.

It was a big step forward in their relationship.

The only regret was that she still couldn’t casually pat Ye Yao.

Perhaps she would have to wait until the next visit to push their relationship to that level.

It seemed that she would have to send small gifts from time to time.

Children are simple.

They always remember those who are kind to them.

The next time they met, she could definitely make their relationship even better.

So thought Cheng Muxue.

What she didn’t expect was that her good niece had already figured out a way to take advantage of her!

Time sped up to the next morning.

Today was the day Ye Yao and Luo Jianhua planned to stay overnight at Mo Qiuli’s house.

However, they wouldn’t be going until the evening.

Ye Yao still needed to inform Xiao Jing and Lou Wei.

Although Luo Jianhua had already mentioned it, they still needed to go through the formalities.

During breakfast, Ye Yao took the opportunity to bring it up while Lou Wei and Xiao Jing were present.

“Can Little Luo and I spend the night at Mo Qiuli’s house tonight?”

Xiao Jing smiled knowingly and asked, “Why do you suddenly want to go out? You’ve been a lazy little bug in your room these past few days.”

“Well, the orphanage director told me to go out and see the world more. I suddenly realized that she was right.”

Ye Yao directly used the orphanage director’s words as her reason.

After all, the director had indeed said something like that.

“But wouldn’t it be better to go out during the day? I’ll be quite worried if you go out at night.”

Xiao Jing expressed the concerns of a mother for her child, naturally not agreeing too easily.

She still had to put on a show.

Ye Yao glanced at her.

【Xiao Jing hopes that you’ll act spoiled with her. If you do, she’ll nod in agreement.】

Mom, you’re so bad!

Acting spoiled is really embarrassing, okay?

However, Ye Yao had no choice but to do it.

“ Guh. ..”

Ye Yao had no choice but to endure the embarrassment and throw herself into Xiao Jing’s arms, nuzzling against her.

Her ears were visibly red, almost dripping with blood.

“Please, Mom~ After we go to Mo Qiuli’s house, we’ll just stay in the room. We won’t go out at night, and we’ll definitely come back for breakfast the next day~”

Ye Yao felt her dignity evaporating as she spoke.

She didn’t even dare to think about how Luo Jianhua, who was watching from the side, would tease her about this.

She had no older sister authority left!

“Sigh~ Since Little Ye Yao says so, I guess there’s no helping it.”

Xiao Jing’s smile was impossible to hide, her satisfaction evident.

Being a mom is so joyful!

Xiao Jing hugged Ye Yao back, gently stroking her head with one hand.

“Then go ahead. I’ll agree on your dad’s behalf.”

Lou Wei made no comment, as if he had silently approved.

He was pondering the logic behind Sequence 0’s actions.

Last night, news came that a high-risk Sequence Esper had been killed in another city.

The mark of Sequence 0 was left behind again.

It was utterly bizarre, and didn’t benefit either side.

“Yay!”

Although Ye Yao already knew the outcome, she still breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, Mu Luo and the others wouldn’t have to venture into the lion’s den.

Providing support outside was much easier than doing so near the residential complex.

All of this was to prevent conflict between the two families!

Ye Yao really felt like she was worrying herself to death over these two families.

Wait, no.

It should be three families.

The Magical Girl Alliance also counted as one.

Just to satisfy Mo Qiuli’s little hobby, she had even let the Countermeasures Bureau know that she was preparing to participate in magical girl activities.

How was this any different from public execution?

Fortunately, no one had stepped forward to mock her about it.

Otherwise, Ye Yao would have exploded at them!

Then, Ye Yao glanced at Lou Wei, who was reading the newspaper.

【Lou Wei didn’t encounter Sequence 012 nor the black mist Esper last night. He plans to shift his focus tonight, handing over the neighborhood’s security to Fang Ze and Cheng Muxue while secretly following you for protection.】

Good news: Sequence 0 hadn’t been captured.

Bad news: Mu Luo might come tonight to deliver himself to his doom.

Lou Wei would still be keeping a close eye in the shadows.

Sneaking out to meet up with her other group of friends would still be a significant challenge.

Fortunately, the difficulty had decreased, and she wouldn’t face the same pressure as last time.

Ye Yao glanced at her mental power.

She punctually added points every morning.

Now, her mental power had reached 58, with 15 attribute points waiting to be allocated.

Although she still couldn’t defeat the Dayun Truck, the advantage was hers!

Author Note

All three groups are full, so let’s create another one. I don’t know if it’s a bug, but why do some people get a 30-day ban after joining a group? Readers experiencing this might try leaving and then joining again.

By the way! I’m asking for a wave of free gifts as usual~
