Esper X Family – Chapter 714 – The Third Dungeon Run

What does it mean when adversity turns into fortune?

This is exactly what it means when adversity turns into fortune!

She had expected a difficult battle, but unexpectedly, the tense atmosphere had simply vanished into thin air!

One moment, Ye Yao was fierce and aggressive; the next, she looked harmless and gentle. Not even Sichuan opera face-changing ¹ could match that speed.

“Lou Wei, are we still fighting?”

Fu Qiqi’s brain was momentarily overloaded, and she even had to seek Lou Weiwei’s opinion.

Lou Weiwei stared at the world destruction progress bar on the system panel, which had returned to zero. Her body, which had been extremely tense, gradually relaxed, and the blazing aura quickly receded as she fully exited combat mode.

【Daughter’s Mood: Satisfied】

【Congratulations, Host, on completing your first milestone as a father. You have successfully soothed your displeased daughter and earned the achievement “Beginner Daughter’s Slave”. Reward: 5,000 base mental power.】

【Ding! New feature unlocked: “Preference Radar”. You can now detect what your daughter likes. Through your meticulous observation, make your daughter admire you even more!】

At the same time, Fu Qiqi also received 5,000 base mental power, but compared to the formidable boost from Void Form, it was a drop in the bucket, hardly worth paying attention to.

After a brief assessment, Lou Weiwei shook her head.

“There’s no need to fight anymore.”

Fu Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief and immediately deactivated her transformation. The power of Void Form rapidly faded.

The petite girl reverted to a majestic man.

He didn’t want to maintain that form for a single second longer.

Once everything was over, Fu Qi would go back and check if anyone had secretly saved the combat footage.

That must never leak out!

Ye Yao pouted slightly, a flicker of displeasure passing through her eyes.

【World Destruction Progress Bar: 0%… 10%… 20%… 40%…】

Lou Weiwei’s brow twitched, and her heart nearly stopped. Within a second, she pinpointed the cause and immediately shouted sternly at Fu Qi.

“Fu Qi, change back!”

“???”

Under Lou Weiwei’s forceful demand, Fu Qiqi reappeared, still wearing a dazed expression.

Lou Weiwei observed again, and sure enough, the world destruction progress bar swiftly dropped back to zero.

From this, she drew a conclusion.

Compared to a mature, older male figure, Ye Yao was far more accepting of a cute, female figure of the same age, even if the person was a stranger.

Lou Weiwei suddenly understood.

So that was it.

No wonder the system’s Solar Corona Form and Void Form both altered their appearances. This was the underlying reason.

Lou Weiwei immediately transmitted a message to Fu Qiqi, explaining the situation.

After learning the truth, the light in Fu Qiqi’s eyes completely died.

In other words, she had to keep maintaining this form?

Lou Weiwei was an “Autobot”. She could disregard appearances and even ignore the impact on personal relationships.

But Fu Qiqi was someone who frequently dealt with other people!

If she really had to keep this up forever, how was she supposed to face anyone in the future?

Would she have to pretend to be her own daughter and strike as Fu Qi’s child?

Fu Qiqi desperately wished that Void Form had severe side effects or a time limit, so she could find a legitimate excuse to avoid it.

But the problem was, aside from changing her model, this overpowered form skill had absolutely no drawbacks, and she could maintain it as long as she wanted.

No more back pain, no more leg soreness, and she looked years younger, almost like rejuvenation.

There were no disadvantages; only benefits.

It made no sense at all!

She even began to suspect this was some high-dimensional entity’s prank!

While Fu Qiqi was deep in a mental storm, the white-haired girl had already drifted over, stopping just a few meters away.

Ye Yao circled around them like a fashion designer examining two supreme works of art, occasionally humming in satisfaction.

“So pretty~”

Lou Weiwei and Fu Qiqi didn’t dare move an inch, simply serving as quiet mannequins for Ye Yao’s viewing.

After a while, Ye Yao finally stopped.

Lou Weiwei glanced at the system panel.

【Daughter’s Preference Archive updated: “Magical Girl” added successfully. Friendly reminder: maintaining this form makes it easy to “skip class”.】

The system information also refreshed accordingly.

【Bound Daughter: Ye Yao

Ability: Fission

Mental Power: ???

Strength: ???

Stamina: ???

Agility: ???

Mood: Satisfied

Preferences: Mom, Magical Girl… (to be explored)

World Destruction Progress Bar: 0%】

For now, things seemed to have stabilized.

Lou Weiwei carefully chose her words, noticing that “Mom” had appeared on Ye Yao’s preference list.

Without a doubt, Xiao Jing could get along with Ye Yao just fine without doing anything at all.

“Do you want to go home? Xiao Jing is waiting for you there.”

What had been a tense atmosphere akin to the end of the world had suddenly turned into a warm family drama.

Ye Yao tilted her head, seemingly pondering, offering no explanation for her earlier confrontation.

“Not yet. I want you two to come with me elsewhere.”

At those words, Lou Weiwei and Fu Qiqi exchanged glances.

They could only hope that nothing would go wrong next.

For Lou Weiwei, as long as the world destruction progress bar didn’t keep rising, everything was acceptable.

Meanwhile.

Inside the main base of the Yunited States Sentinel Organization.

Director Byron stared grimly at the satellite imagery feed from Yunited States satellites, feeling cold all over and thoroughly unsettled.

Dragon Country’s experts could reach this level?

What a joke. Even if all the “Holy Blood” developed by the Yunited States were concentrated and injected into one person, it wouldn’t create a powerhouse of this magnitude!

Screw this!

How did Bluestar Online’s developers balance this meta?

If Dragon Country found out about the Sentinel Organization’s covert operations, the consequences would be disastrous!

“Quick! Relay my order: erase all data and materials related to Dragon Country within the Sentinel Organization immediately. They must not find any evidence.”

Survival was the top priority now!

But the moment Byron finished speaking, the three figures on the satellite feed vanished.

Unable to spot them anymore, Byron’s heart sank into extreme unease.

At the same time.

The three figures had already appeared above the Sentinel Organization’s main base, without even triggering the alarms.

Yes.

Ye Yao had come this time to settle accounts and rescue captives.

In the previous parallel world, due to various butterfly effects, An Qi and Yu Jin had never been captured by the Sentinel Organization.

But this second playthrough was different, as the two were still suffering in the Sentinel base. It was time to strike hard!

However, Ye Yao didn’t plan to act personally.

It was time for the two newly minted magical girls to carry out righteous justice!

“Crimson Wheel, Void Heaven, do you see?” Ye Yao asked softly.

“Mm.”

“How dare they!”

Both of them wore grim expressions.

Without needing Ye Yao’s explanation, Lou Weiwei and Fu Qiqi, with mental power surpassing a million, had already perceived the full layout of the Sentinel base!

They had never expected that all the Espers who had disappeared from Dragon Country over the years had been captured by the Sentinel Organization.

There were even innate sequence Espers with extremely high strategic value inside!

That was no different from a declaration of war against Dragon Country.

“Magical Girl Crimson Wheel, Magical Girl Void Heaven, go! Cleanse all evil!”

Ye Yao had already cleared the Sentinel Organization dungeon twice before.

This time, it was Lou Weiwei and Fu Qiqi’s turn to speedrun it.

What else could they do? They could only kill!
