Esper X Family – Chapter 728 – Preparing to Be the Favorite Daughter!

As the relevant videos spread across the internet, the hype was completely ignited.

With the Countermeasure Bureau’s tacit approval, the information was not deliberately suppressed, but rather spread to even more distant regions like a chain reaction.

After discovering that the official media hadn’t refuted the rumors, the masses finally realized the seriousness of the matter.

“It blew up!”

“Could it be?!”

“Is this the precursor to a spiritual energy revival? My life is finally about to see a turnaround!”

“To be honest, don’t you guys think this little one called Tong Yao is adorable?”

“She’s on the official payroll, show some respect! Call her Little Comrade Yao!”

“Aren’t you guys curious? Who is this Crimson Wheel she mentioned? Sounds like some behind-the-scenes big shot!”

“Actually, I’m more focused on the term ‘magical girl’. The style is way too bizarre! Don’t tell me I’m living in a children’s show world!”

“Sigh~ Everyone’s attention is actually focused on me. Lou Weiwei not showing up is too much of a loss for her. Fortunately, this is only temporary. As everyone knows, the earlier you appear, the faster you get phased out. By then, I’ll be able to beautifully go invisible and slack off!”

Ye Yao looked at the online comments with a satisfied smile.

Sacrificing a random stray dog on the roadside to kick off a major event… if this were carved into history, it would be quite a bargain for that bastard.

Afterward, Ye Yao returned to the Countermeasure Bureau headquarters, preparing to wait for everyone’s storm-like combo moves to bombard the masses’ worldview.

This was only the beginning!

Sacrificing just one Flame Demon was far from enough. Not only Dragon Country, but other countries also needed a wave of showing off in front of people to declare the arrival of a new era.

Let Mu Luo and the others handle it.

The internet topics over the next few days would be absolutely wild, definitely giving people a sense of the storm approaching.

This could also serve as a preventive shot, gentler than the first playthrough’s universal awakening.

Another difference was that the focus was no longer on Tong Yao. It was Crimson Wheel who was going to be socially destroyed!

“This time, I should be able to smoothly watch the big show. If anyone else discovers that I’m the mastermind behind this, I’ll directly eat Ye Tong and Ye Ge’s big thunder ¹ Slang for big booba. !”

Ye Yao was full of confidence.

Just as she was about to go find Tu Sheng, she discovered two familiar presences approaching.

Lou Weiwei and Fu Qiqi reacted very quickly. They seemed to want to figure out Ye Yao’s thoughts immediately. Whatever she decided on her own was fine.

Could things get any more serious than a world crisis?

As long as the doomsday progress bar didn’t rise, it was all negotiable.

Ye Yao stopped in place, blinking as she watched the two exquisitely modeled girls approach little by little.

After this period of adjustment, the sense of incongruity they displayed seemed to have decreased considerably. It appeared that they had used their strong-willed mindset to adapt to their current identities.

Anyone who didn’t know better would think that they had been the legendary magical girls Crimson Wheel and Void Heaven from the very beginning.

“Hmm~ It’s been a few days, but Father and Uncle have become quite a bit cuter.”

Ye Yao’s slightly subtle tone reached the ears of Lou Weiwei and Fu Qiqi, who were flying closer, making them feel indescribable inside.

What else could they do?

The adult world is like this. No matter how hard things get, life must go on, especially with their identities.

Even Fu Qiqi could only accept it.

Ye Yao was already calling her “Uncle”. What else could she say?

Not calling her “Mother” and “Aunt” was already good enough.

At least this proved that in this girl’s heart, the two were still real men. What a comfort that was.

It gave off a strong impression that the whole world didn’t understand Crimson Wheel and Void Heaven; only Ye Yao did.

As for who caused this result, don’t ask.

Fu Qiqi suppressed her complicated emotions and got straight to the point.

“Little Yao, what role do you plan for us to play in the upcoming events? As long as you have ideas, the Countermeasure Bureau will fully cooperate with your decisions.”

This choice was very bold.

With things having developed to this extent, how could Fu Qiqi still be clueless?

When it came to bold hypotheses, she never disappointed.

From the clues Ye Yao had shown, Fu Qiqi had long guessed that she had experienced at least one similar situation before.

Just from Ye Yao’s “Uncle” address that seemed carved into habit, Fu Qiqi felt as if she had been her uncle for quite a while.

But the problem was that this world’s “relative plan” hadn’t even started yet. She wasn’t even pretending anymore.

Different from Fu Qiqi’s careful inquiry.

Lou Weiwei’s question was more direct: “Do you plan to popularize the ability system among the masses?”

“Eh? You figured out my plan that quickly?” Ye Yao glanced at the orange-haired girl.

As expected, compared to a cold-faced man, a cold-faced cute girl was much easier on the eyes.

“After all, you didn’t hide your thoughts,” Lou Weiwei shook her head.

What was the difference between Ye Yao’s declaration and plain speech?

Calling it a riddle was almost an insult to riddles. A bunch of people online could already guess.

Moreover, Lou Weiwei currently possessed over a million mental power and could manually stimulate a batch of people to awaken abilities, not to mention the even more unfathomable Ye Yao.

But one thing was very strange.

All signs indicated that Ye Yao actually planned to use the name “Crimson Wheel” to let the masses awaken abilities?

Giving away such an unprecedented achievement for free, there was no one else like her.

This showed that Ye Yao didn’t care about these vain titles at all.

Or perhaps she had already experienced it several times and just wanted to try a different way of playing.

Ye Yao blinked and asked softly, “You guys don’t have any objections? It might bring a lot of workload.”

Lou Weiwei shook her head, her expression and tone both very calm.

“This is the tide of the era. We just need to be ready to meet it.”

“Wow~ Actually recognizing my willful little idea as the tide of the era! I didn’t expect Father to value me so much. I’m a little touched.”

“Hehe…”

Lou Weiwei squeezed out a smile, giving a bit of feedback.

In any case, she was out of options.

The daughter at home has grown up, with strength to pull mountains and spirit to conquer the world!

Lou Weiwei chose to adapt in such a drastic situation. Being a daughter-slave wasn’t so bad; it was just another way of protecting the world.

Ye Yao then showed a speechless expression.

“That smile isn’t natural at all. Father still needs more practice. You should make more use of your modeling’s advantages.”

“My bad.”

If Lou Weiwei were a slightly more fragile person, she might have hidden under the covers at night, wiping away little pearls.

At this moment, Fu Qiqi stepped in to smooth things over: “Ahem, Little Yao, she’s always been like this. I’ll teach her when I have time.”

But Ye Yao redirected her spearhead.

“Uncle too. Not a trace of youthful energy, yet you have the nerve to teach Father.”

“Ah this…”

Fu Qiqi was speechless.

What could she do? She wasn’t a young person. What’s wrong with being a veteran!

Fortunately, Lou Weiwei spoke up to skip this awkward topic.

“How do you plan to popularize abilities?”

“Hmm? Didn’t I say it clearly? Just sunbathing. Simple, right?”

Ye Yao’s lips curved up slightly as she gave a very confident answer.

With the loli Heavenly Will Ye Jia in hand, plus unparalleled stats, wasn’t modifying a star just a mere thought away?

This time it was a gradual change. Just set it so that “sunlight can make people awaken abilities” and it was done!

Then, Ye Yao stared brightly at the orange-haired girl.

“And you, my Father, agent of the sun. Are you ready to sit on the golden throne?”

Anyway, Ye Yao was ready to be the Favorite Daughter ² 首归女 (first returned daughter), is a Warhammer 40k reference. Long story short, the Emperor of Mankind created twenty genetically engineered humans called Primarchs with his DNA and a bunch of forbidden knowledge from the Warp. However, when they were just born, the Gods of Chaos spirited them away, causing them to grow up in different worlds away from their Father. In any case, the first one to return is Horus, who became the Emperor’s favorite. !

Author Note

The novel’s rating has finally wriggled to 9.4. This should be my limit. Gwah! Kuyashii!

Text: Already adjusted to maximum fluffiness for you. Now you can start petting.

Translator Note

Unfortunately, the rating here is nowhere near that. It probably lost a few points because of nationalism, which is understandable.

Kuyashii indeed.
