Esper X Family – Chapter 719 – A Mother Worried About Her Family

Ye Yao’s words sounded somewhat whimsical.

Yet, everyone could tell that she was serious.

“Why?”

Mu Luo couldn’t help but ask for the reason, utterly unable to understand why she would go to such lengths for people who had nothing to do with her.

Ye Yao fell silent for a moment, feeling that she indeed needed to provide a reason.

After all, claiming to have returned from the “future” was too far-fetched and difficult for anyone to believe.

Mu Luo and the others couldn’t simply accept goodwill from someone of unknown origins.

Having known each other for only a short time, it was natural that they wouldn’t take help for granted.

Moreover, this felt more like one-sided charity.

Suddenly, Ye Yao had a flash of inspiration.

“How about this reason? Consider it a mother who can’t bear to see her own children suffer outside, who worries about children in need of help, and thus gives them everything she has. How does that sound?”

The atmosphere fell quiet for a moment.

Xia Lian’s cherry-red lips parted slightly. She was clearly stunned by such remarks.

“M-Mom? So White Catty sees us that way? We’re actually troublemaking children who caused you to worry!”

Mu Luo was left speechless.

He did indeed want to build a big family of Innate Sequence Espers who helped one another.

Ye Yao had also indicated that she regarded the others as family.

But wasn’t a loli mama a bit off?

Jiang Huashen couldn’t help but laugh. “Ha! What personality! I’m going to paint your portrait!”

Apart from Wu Mi and An Qi, most of the people present were relatively independent individuals. They weren’t children needing care, nor did they need a “mom” to look after them.

But on second thought, their current situation was truly terrible.

Hiding and dodging under the Countermeasures Bureau’s pursuit was one thing, but they often went hungry, their mental state was far from good, and mainly, they lacked the ability to support a normal life.

How was that different from children who needed care?

Furthermore, the abilities Ye Yao had demonstrated showed that she could already stand on her own, capable of shielding her big family from wind and rain, not even fearing the Countermeasures Bureau.

To be honest, compared to the extremely unstable Mu Luo, Ye Yao was the one truly “earning money to support the family”. Given the care and affection she had shown toward everyone, the others had no choice but to rely on her help.

Thus, Ye Yao = Mom, certification successful!

“R-Right? No, no, no… Yes, yes, yes!”

Xia Lian thought for a moment, then immediately discarded rationality, pouncing on Ye Yao and starting to act spoiled.

“Mama! Want huggy!”

Wu Mi and An Qi were greatly shocked.

Their minds were still somewhat chaotic, and they hadn’t expected Xia Lian to make a decision so quickly.

What happened to the reserve and dignity of a big sister?

Mu Luo and the others immediately averted their eyes, unable to bear the sight, choosing to act as if they had never known Xia Lian.

Ye Yao ignored Xia Lian, who was hugging her and nuzzling against her, and continued speaking.

“In short, leave everything to me. The Countermeasures Bureau won’t have any objections.”

Under Ye Yao’s iron fist, everyone could only accept her kindness.

Inside the Countermeasures Bureau headquarters.

The high-ranking officials were extremely uneasy.

Because Ye Yao had disappeared!

When a person capable of destroying the world goes missing, anyone would lose sleep and appetite.

Lou Wei and Fu Qi were still in the Yunited States dealing with the aftermath, leaving no one to hold the fort.

Fang Ze could barely step up to stabilize morale.

“Don’t panic! Based on observations over this period, nothing will happen in the short term. Wait for Lou Wei and Fu Qi to return.”

But the next moment, someone delivered a message.

“Report, she’s back! The target has reappeared near the Countermeasures Bureau residential area, and it seems she’s accompanied by several people!”

“Pull up the footage!”

As the image became clearer, everyone finally saw Ye Yao again.

The moment such a dangerous figure reappeared in their field of vision, many breathed a sigh of relief.

But when they clearly saw the group behind Ye Yao, question marks popped up over everyone’s heads.

“Wait, how did they end up with Sequence 001?”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Ye Yao walked swaggeringly down the street, not worrying at all about being surrounded and suppressed.

The others were somewhat alert.

After all, they hadn’t been active in public places for a long time.

Ye Yao reassured them, “Don’t be afraid. If anyone dares to come out and arrest you, I’ll beat them away.”

This protective tone made Mu Luo and the others’ expressions even stranger.

They just wanted to beg Ye Yao to stop talking like that.

They really didn’t need a loli mama, nor did they want to be treated like children.

Only Xia Lian was shamelessly sticking close to Ye Yao, embarrassingly close to holding hands while crossing the street.

Even Wu Mi and An Qi weren’t as thick-skinned as her.

Reаⅾ οո KatRеadіոɡСаfе

Mu Luo silently sighed, feeling the faint gazes around them, and could only resist the urge to run away with the group.

Wasn’t this showing too little respect for the Countermeasures Bureau?

“White Catty, where are you taking us?” Xia Lian couldn’t help but ask.

“Of course, to my home for a visit. Isn’t it normal to bring good friends home?”

At these words.

Mu Luo’s expression immediately became subtle.

If Ye Yao was truly Sequence 001, then her original family home should be the place where the Countermeasures Bureau contained her, and the people around her might very well be agents of the Countermeasures Bureau.

What was the difference between visiting her home and walking into a tiger’s den?

This could even be considered walking right into a trap.

But now that things had come to this point, Mu Luo could only trust Ye Yao. Not trusting her was useless anyway.

Who asked Ye Yao to easily pluck him out from the writhing shadows?

With such capability, capturing them wouldn’t be troublesome for her.

The ones who should be having a headache were probably those at the Countermeasures Bureau.

By now, the sky was dimly brightening.

Breakfast shops were opening one after another, and the streets were filled with sleepy office workers and students.

Although much had happened overnight, it had never affected the lives of ordinary people. They continued eating and drinking as usual.

Ye Yao was like a little girl returning to the gate of her residential complex after staying out all night.

The “gatekeeper” on duty was breaking into a sweat.

Under the invisible pressure emanating from Ye Yao, this “little ancestor”, even the group of the Countermeasures Bureau’s “wanted criminals” behind her seemed insignificant.

“Oi, Uncle Gatekeeper, I forgot my access card. Can you let me bring my friends in?”

“O-Okay, wait a moment.”

Rеаԁ оո КatRеаⅾіոɡCαfе

The gatekeeper didn’t even intend to verify the information, immediately opening the gate for everyone.

Xia Lian cheerfully greeted the Esper gatekeeper.

“Heehee~ Sorry to bother you, Big Brother Gatekeeper, thank you for your hard work.”

She looked exactly like an arrogant blonde delinquent brought home by a rich young lady.

Mu Luo said nothing, calmly observing the environment of the complex. His intuition told him that hidden talents lay within.

As expected of an absolute restricted zone controlling Sequence 001.

If any criminals broke in here, they would definitely be suppressed immediately.

And Mu Luo and the others counted as criminals.

It was just that Ye Yao had personally brought them in.

The experts remaining in the complex didn’t make any rash moves.

What scenes hadn’t they seen before?

But they truly had never seen something like this!

How did Ye Yao end up mixing with this group of fugitive Innate Sequence Espers?

No one answered them.

In just a short while, Ye Yao arrived at her doorstep and skillfully rang the doorbell.

“Mom, I’m back!”
