81 Chapter - Aunt, It’S Time To Get Gold Coins
Ye Yao once again invited Cheng Muxue into her room, preparing to use this opportunity for a deeper conversation.
"Auntie, what kind of work do you do?"
"Hmm... probably something like a psychotherapist. I'm very good at communicating with people who are difficult to talk to."
Cheng Muxue skillfully lied through her teeth.
Luo Jianhua could only pretend she heard nothing.
Poor Ms. Cheng Muxue probably didn't know yet.
Her lies had already been seen through by her omniscient older sister.
Ye Yao nodded in sudden realization.
"So, Auntie, have you met a lot of strange people?"
"Indeed, I have. After seeing so many, I can even tell what they're thinking."
One might think Cheng Muxue was only talking about experience and knowledge.
But in reality, it was a combination of Esper abilities and experience.
"Then, Auntie, have you ever encountered anyone particularly special?"
"For example?"
Cheng Muxue was in a very good mood.
It was rare for Ye Yao to initiate a topic.
Of course, she had to respond enthusiastically.
"For example... those bad people with strange powers.
Auntie, have you heard about the incident a few days ago?
It seemed like a huge fire broke out in the city center.
I saw online that someone said it was caused by a bad person covered in flames.
Why would he cause such massive destruction if he had such powerful abilities?"
Cheng Muxue's smile stiffened slightly.
She hadn't expected Ye Yao to bring up the Flame Demon incident from a week ago.
This matter had indeed caused a huge stir.
With such a big commotion, it was impossible to conceal it even if they wanted to.
Ye Yao could easily find out by casually browsing the internet.
She just hadn't expected her to be so interested in the matter.
Cheng Muxue quickly figured out why.
Perhaps she felt they were of the same kind.
How could an Esper not pay attention?
Answering Ye Yao's question involved family education.
This matter should have been handled by Lou Wei and Xiao Jing!
But Ye Yao had never mentioned it to her parents.
Cheng Muxue was truly a bit confused as to why she was the first one.
Could it be... she was a born Perfect Affinity Saint Body?
That's it.
Cheng Muxue's eyes became confident.
It must be that Ye Yao saw her as a reliable and mature adult.
A storm quickly brewed in Cheng Muxue's heart.
She absolutely couldn't give a perfunctory answer.
This might concern Ye Yao's future worldview and moral compass.
"Perhaps... it's because the other party no longer sees people as people. He has lost his bottom line as a human, blinded by power, and only wants to break free from the rules."
Cheng Muxue said after some thought, her face now filled with a serious expression.
"That is wrong."
Cheng Muxue didn't intend to force any so-called theories of justice onto Ye Yao.
For example, the formulaic statement that one with great power should benefit humanity.
That doesn't suit everyone.
The Countermeasure Bureau had already analyzed Ye Yao's personality type.
Treating the symptoms was the best approach.
They never expected Ye Yao to save the world.
It would be a blessing if she didn't destroy it.
Ye Yao nodded thoughtfully.
"Then what is right?"
"Not doing evil is right. Even with infinite power, one must avoid harming innocent people. People are the foundation of everything."
Cheng Muxue naturally placed her hand on Ye Yao's head.
Like an elder educating a junior.
"Everything you enjoy now is the result of those people's efforts.
Including the anime you watch, the games you play, and the snacks you eat.
Once they all disappear, you won't be able to enjoy them anymore."
"So even with infinite power, you cannot harm those innocent people."
Ye Yao nodded, lightly sticking out her tongue.
"I thought Auntie would say if you have great power, you should protect everyone."
Cheng Muxue couldn't help but hug the adorable Ye Yao and ruffle her hair.
This way of conversing, in a way, eliminated a bit of the sense of distance.
"You little rascal, even though we've only known each other for a few days, don't I know what kind of person you are?"
Ye Yao symbolically resisted, but didn't truly break free from Cheng Muxue's embrace.
She just protested.
"Then, Auntie, what kind of person do you say I am? If you slander me, I'll get angry, you know."
Cheng Muxue listed them one by one.
Anyway, «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» in the past few days, she had thoroughly digested the information from the preference analyst.
"You usually like to stay cooped up in your room, with little desire to interact with the outside world.
If you were really that powerful, you'd probably just eat, sleep, and play games.
How could you possibly do something as troublesome as protecting everyone?"
"Hehe~ Auntie, you really understand me. Being a bad person or a hero is too much trouble."
Ye Yao didn't refute or get angry; instead, she looked proud.
Cheng Muxue nodded gently.
"Protecting citizens is something adults should do. You, little one, just need to live your life well.
Even when you grow up, Auntie only hopes you can restrain yourself, and I'll still bring you gifts every time I visit."
She didn't dare say that she hoped Ye Yao would become a successful person in the future.
Destroying the world was certainly successful.
Such an achievement was unprecedented and would never be surpassed.
No one could dispute that she was the world's number one.
Ye Yao felt it was time.
"Can people with great power also restrain themselves?"
"Of course. That bad person who committed arson and murder is ultimately just a minority.
There are definitely many powerful people secretly protecting citizens behind the scenes; Ye Yao just doesn't know about them."
Cheng Muxue said earnestly.
"Those who possess abilities and can still restrain themselves are truly respectable."
At this moment, she was already content.
Cheng Muxue had never expected to discuss such an important topic with Ye Yao.
This indicated that the other party had already acknowledged their close relationship.
This trip was not in vain at all.
Ye Yao looked as if she slowly exhaled.
Then she leaned close to Cheng Muxue's ear.
"Auntie, I'll secretly tell you a secret: I seem to have awakened special powers. My hearing and eyesight are much better than before."
"Ah...?"
Cheng Muxue paused slightly, then her eyes widened.
Although this matter was common knowledge in the adjacent living room.
But for Ye Yao to say it herself, that was different.
Cheng Muxue immediately felt a strong sense of trust.
This showed that Ye Yao was willing to confide in her by revealing her secret.
What an exciting development this was!
Cheng Muxue's heart pounded.
Even an S-Class Esper couldn't maintain her composure with such emotions.
She almost wanted to construct a psychic network to tell Lou Wei and the others about this.
What did this mean?
Compared to Lou Wei and Xiao Jing, her parents.
Ye Yao was closer to her aunt!
How could Cheng Muxue, who loved being close to adorable little ones, not be excited?
At the same time.
The system's voice also sounded in Ye Yao's mind.
【Cheng Muxue felt your "trust" and closeness. Familial affection has greatly increased. Reward: 5 attribute points.】
Ye Yao started to stifle a laugh.
Auntie was so easy to deal with.
Now it was time to see when the Countermeasure Bureau would make direct contact with her.
She wasn't hoping for a full disclosure or anything.
At least they would go through a procedure to register her, right?
Perhaps then she could visit the headquarters.
