Esper X Family – Chapter 716 – This White Catty Tastes Off!

My name is Mu Luo. I was once Sequence 013, kept under strict containment by the Countermeasure Bureau until I wrested “freedom” back into my own hands.

To help those like me, I skulk through the shadows of various Countermeasure Bureau bases, seeking only to grant my “kind” a chance at a new life.

And now, I’ve learned that a Sequence Esper is nearby, under the Bureau’s control.

To rescue this “kindred spirit” I’ve never met, I must gather intelligence quickly and pull them out of that oppressive environment!

“Wait for me.”

Just as Mu Luo was wriggling madly in the shadows, an invisible giant hand suddenly yanked him out of the dark corner.

Overwhelmed by that crushing force, Mu Luo’s body went rigid on the spot.

“?!”

Damn it!

An expert from the Countermeasure Bureau!

To be able to break through the Dark Erosion Space and seize the main body, could it be the rumored spatial prodigy, Fu Qi?

But isn’t he the Bureau Director?

Why would he leave headquarters and come to a place like this?

Before Mu Luo could even hiss, a pleasant voice reached his ears.

“So you really are around here. And you really were wriggling as expected.”

Out of the night’s shadows stepped three figures: two petite girls and one burly man.

“Mr. Mu Luo, long time no see. Thanks to the guidance of fate, we meet again.”

An Qi greeted him politely.

Seeing that familiar face, Yu Jin also let out a relieved breath.

Spending time with Ye Yao didn’t feel quite real, but seeing Mu Luo brought that sense of reality back.

“Mu Luo, I’ve come back from hell.”

“You all…”

Mu Luo’s tense body began to relax slightly at the sight of those two familiar faces, clearly caught off guard.

And when he noticed the white-haired girl standing between them, he finally realized that she was the real master here!

Ye Yao confirmed that Mu Luo wouldn’t bolt at light speed, then set him down.

“First time meeting, Mu Luo.”

“Who are you?”

Mu Luo remained wary inside, obviously distrustful of someone with an unknown background, afraid that she might be from the Countermeasure Bureau.

Her appearance was certainly deceptive, but the power she displayed was simply too exaggerated.

Ye Yao tilted her head.

“I’m the Sequence Esper you’re looking for. I was recently put under Bureau containment, but I managed to escape.”

At those words, Mu Luo looked toward An Qi and Yu Jin beside Ye Yao.

Compared to a little girl’s one-sided claim, he trusted the “kindred spirit” he had rescued before much more.

Yu Jin, being more mature, shook his head. “I don’t know the details either, but it’s true that she got us out of danger. Both An Qi and I owe her our lives.”

An Qi also showed absolute trust in Ye Yao, her eyes practically shining.

“Mm, that’s right. Ye Yao is definitely my fated family. It’s all arranged by fate.”

Mu Luo fell into deep thought.

Since both Yu Jin and An Qi said so, and given his own precedent, it wasn’t impossible for another Sequence Esper to break free from the Bureau’s control using their own abilities.

“What’s your Sequence number?”

Mu Luo asked the final question.

Ye Yao blinked. “Sequence 001.”

Mu Luo: “?”

The next instant.

A curtain of shadows engulfed all three, pulling them into the Dark Erosion Space. His getaway maneuver was practiced to perfection!

“If you really are Sequence 001, then the one in charge of your containment must be a powerful S-rank Esper. Once they notice you’re gone, they’ll definitely come after you. I can’t fight them, and it’s not safe to stay here.”

Clearly, Mu Luo had yet to grasp just how strong Ye Yao truly was.

Ye Yao couldn’t be bothered to explain.

Time to keep up the sugary act!

Before long, the four returned to the familiar suburban residence.

Ye Yao stepped out of the Dark Erosion Space and looked around, feeling nostalgic for this place where it all began.

On the way back, Mu Luo also learned of what Yu Jin and An Qi had been through.

“You’re saying that after Ye Yao escaped the Bureau’s containment, she went all the way to the Yunited States and brought you both back?”

Even Mu Luo, who wasn’t much of a talker, was a bit stunned by Ye Yao’s feat.

And she had returned in the blink of an eye.

Even at full wriggling speed, Mu Luo would need a considerable amount of time for ultra-long-distance travel.

Just how strong was this new “kindred spirit”?

A moment later.

The other residents inside the house seemed to sense several familiar auras, including an unfamiliar one, and emerged one after another under the moonlight.

“Huh? Didn’t the two of you already leave? Why are you back so quickly? Especially little An Qi, does that mean you’re finally willing to get along with me?”

Xia Lian’s voice came through, brimming with laughter and a trace of delight.

She was clearly overjoyed to see her “kitty” return safely.

Even if the loli wasn’t fond of her, that didn’t stop Xia Lian from showing some care.

Hearing Xia Lian’s voice, An Qi immediately hid behind Ye Yao.

“Sister Xia Lian’s eyes are kind of scary. Ye Yao, be careful…”

Hearing this.

Xia Lian finally stepped out of the house, her gaze landing on the figure in front of An Qi. Her eyes lit up instantly.

“Oh? And who is this… adorable little stranger? Mu Luo, is this your doing?”

Mu Luo was about to answer when Ye Yao cut in first.

“My name is Ye Yao. Mu Luo picked me up.”

Interrupted, Mu Luo opened his mouth but ultimately chose not to correct her.

To be precise, it should be the other way around.

Who exactly picked up whom?

Upon hearing Ye Yao’s reply, Xia Lian’s eyes brightened even more.

Yes!

If her observation was right, this time Mu Luo had brought back a rather affectionate little “kitty”!

Wu Mi was a “sickly” little kitty who was hard to interact with normally.

An Qi was an unfriendly little kitty with strong defenses.

Yin Yi was a runaway little kitty who had disappeared to who knows where.

But this white kitty actually seemed easy to talk to. Perhaps, after a little interaction, she could even pet her!

Mu Luo really struck gold this time!

“Does that mean you’re a Sequence Esper too? I’m Xia Lian, also ‘picked up’ by Mu Luo. Can I call you White Catty?”

Xia Lian reined in her excited emotions slightly, trying to make a good first impression.

With anyone else, they might really take her for a sweet, gentle black-haired girl.

Unfortunately, Ye Yao had already seen through her true nature. She could even tell what color underwear the other party was wearing.

But she didn’t show it. She kept acting sugary.

“Giving me a nickname right after we meet? But I don’t really know what kind of person Sister Xia Lian is yet. Could we try getting to know each other a little deeper?”

The moment Xia Lian heard Ye Yao call her “Sister Xia Lian” , she threw all rationality out of the window.

“Sure, sure! How do you want to get to know each other? I’m game for anything!”

“Then… how about a fight? Sister Xia Lian goes all out, and so do I. Let’s trade blows.”

Xia Lian blinked, thinking that she must have misheard.

“Huh?”

This cat… her “flavor” is all wrong!
