Chapter 533: I accidentally forgot
Ye Ge silently returned to the rooftop of the young girl Mo Qiuli.
In this timeline, there were no Countermeasure Bureau dormitories, nor were there any purchased super duplex luxury apartments; she just had to make do for now.
The split body Ye Yao shed the form of Ye Ge once again and re-entered the Scroll.
“Done. I’ve helped you all move. The previous place wasn't suitable for a long stay; the Countermeasure Bureau will likely investigate it soon.”
The others didn't have much of an objection to this.
However, the God of Painting Jie Jiang wore a subtle expression.
“Did you forget something? Where's Mu Luo?”
“Ah, I accidentally forgot! But it shouldn't be a big deal, let's just ignore him for now.”
It wasn't actually an accident.
Given Jie Muluo's survival skills, he could certainly wriggle safely in some dark corner.
Even Lou Wei would find it difficult to catch him.
Leaving him outside for a while wouldn't affect anything.
She would pick him up once he realized the importance of companions.
This was to prevent him from constantly obsessing over the Countermeasure Bureau's restricted zones all day.
Even a normal jungler occasionally looks after their hungry teammates.
So why was the Mysterious Wriggling Man only focused on 'jungling'?
The companions at home were practically starving thin!
The young girl An Qi could see Ye Yao's resentment toward Jie Muluo.
It was a type of Life Qi directed at Jie Muluo for not taking responsibility.
“Actually, Brother Mu Luo isn't bad. He occasionally comes back to help me send letters to my grandmother, which helps ease my longing for her.”
The young girl Wu Mi also nodded in agreement.
“Mm, he also brings back some manga and books for me. Thanks to him, I’ve been able to persevere until now.”
Yin Yi acknowledged Jie Muluo's change.
“Compared to before, he really does care about us more.”
“Is that so?”
Ye Yao blinked and looked at Jie Xialian behind her.
She saw her standing tall with her chest out, looking quite proud.
“I beat it into him.”
Impressive.
The Mysterious Cat-Loving Woman had literally beaten a sense of responsibility into Jie Muluo for the sake of the 'cats' at home.
No wonder she could promote to S-Class within three years.
It turned out she had been constantly pressuring herself just to teach the stubborn Jie Muluo a lesson.
Becoming an S-Class Esper solely through her own cultivation without relying on any resources.
She truly was a Genius, wasn't she?
Then here came the question.
Was the Jie Muluo corrected by Jie Xialian a good big brother?
Like hell he was!
What kind of good big brother keeps wriggling around outside?
Jie Xialian's fists were still not fast enough, and certainly not ruthless enough!
“In any case, you all rest tonight. Tomorrow, I'll take you to do something big.”
Ye Yao automatically assumed the position of the 'head of the household'.
Jie Xialian, of course, didn't have the slightest objection.
“What about the Countermeasure Bureau? It's because of them that I don't dare go out to find inspiration.”
Jie Lao Jiang mentioned.
However, he no longer needed to spend time traveling around to find inspiration.
The Nursery Rhyme painting Ye Yao lent him was a work of Major Achievement; just a single glance was enough to make inspiration explode.
And this was while Jie Lao Jiang hadn't completely understood it yet.
Once he fully grasped it, it was even possible for him to promote to S-Class in a short period!
Ye Yao naturally and generously lent the collection piece to the Jiang Huashen of this parallel timeline.
This was a major source of Attribute Points!
As long as she gave him the painting to observe, it would continuously generate Attribute Points.
Not to mention, it was a work by the'standard' Lao Jiang.
It was like stepping on your own left foot with your right to ascend to heaven—does anyone get it?
“The Countermeasure Bureau? They're nothing more than a speed bump. If Lou Wei comes, I can crush him to death. I only didn't do it because I felt it was unnecessary.”
Ye Yao's dominance was on full display!
If anyone else had said this, they might have thought it was a joke.
But if it was the Ye Yao who had cleared another timeline, it seemed quite reasonable.
“Anyway, rest well. I will protect you; absolutely no one will come to disturb you.”
...
Jie Louwei returned to the Countermeasure Bureau Headquarters and quickly found Jie Fuqi.
He rapidly explained the situation at the time, including Ye Ge's inexplicable lip-reading.
“Fu qin? What does that mean?”
Jie Fuqi looked bewildered.
Jie Louwei was also pondering.
“I suspect I saw it wrong. It might have been ‘Fu Qi’; maybe she was referring to you.”
“Really? Me?”
Jie Fuqi didn't doubt Jie Louwei's observation skills.
After all, compared to the Pinyin combination of ‘fu qin’, he really couldn't think of any connection to Ye Ge.
It couldn't possibly be ‘father’, could it?
How was that possible?
Jie Louwei had dedicated his entire life to the country and had no so-called family.
Jie Fuqi was the same, intending to start a family only after retirement.
Neither of them had ever become a father.
Therefore, that lip-reading might just be ‘Fu Qi’. Only the name ‘Fu Qi’ was the closest, with a much greater correlation.
But why would Ye Ge say the words ‘Fu Qi’ to Jie Louwei at that time?
Jie Fuqi couldn't understand it at all.
“She insta-killed me like a stray dog; why would she still be thinking about me?”
Jie Louwei said, “Let the others think about it too. There's strength in numbers.”
Soon, many high-level officials knew about this.
Including Jie Tu Sheng, who was currently deducing some theories.
“Fu Qi? Fu qin? Could it be ‘father’? This is getting interesting.”
Jie Tu Sheng didn't plan to tell anyone her guess.
She only hoped Ye Ge would come find her soon.
And then... have a good, honest heart-to-heart talk.
Overnight.
The Countermeasure Bureau people quickly searched the residence suspected to have been visited by Ye Ge.
Inside, they found traces of the fugitive Initial Sequence members' lives.
Some Scrolls that weren't taken away, simple shelf-stable food, various daily necessities...
Clearly, the Monitoring Bureau's initial guess wasn't wrong; this was indeed the hiding spot for the fugitive Initial Sequence.
Except it wasn't just those hiding 'rats'; it was also connected to the extremely heavyweight 'Ye Ge'.
This gave everyone a bit of a headache.
How on earth did they get involved with each other?
Could it be that some Mysterious Wriggling Man had kidnapped the young Ye Ge back then?
They were screwed now.
With Ye Ge protecting those fugitive Initial Sequence members, how could the Countermeasure Bureau possibly catch them?
Even more seriously... could the restricted zones still be considered safe?
Amidst everyone's uneasy feelings, the sky began to brighten.
Ye Yao brought back breakfast for the young girl Luo Jianhua and the family members of Sequence Zero.
A beautiful day begins with 'jungling' to feed the family.
Ye Yao felt like a mother bird finding food for her newly hatched chicks.
The chicks weren't able to hunt for themselves, so she had to be the one to find food to feed everyone.
But that was fine.
Although she had no money on her, she could borrow some from the young girl Mo Qiuli.
She had left the residence too quickly to bring any cash.
She'd have to live off a woman for now.
Ye Yao did have a good moral baseline and wouldn't easily do anything illegal.
Of course, her moral baseline could also be flexible, depending on whether someone got in her face.
Very quickly.
Ye Yao brought the young girl Mo Qiuli into the World Within the Painting to further form the parallel timeline version of the Magical Girl Alliance.
“This is the secret base of our Magical Girl Alliance.
Come, let us change this world ruthlessly in the name of love!”
