nA Bet

nLiao Zixuan wanted to find the flaw in the girl’s words.

nFor example, Vivian actually once fell off a cliff and survived. She picked up a mysterious ring and there was a super-powerful grandpa living in the ring… Uh, sorry, at present, it should be an old granny.

nUnfortunately, Liao Zixuan already knew the little girl like the back of his hand. She was so poor that she didn’t even wear a corset, let alone jewelry like a ring or necklace. No wonder she still had an A for her age.

nCough cough, he had gone off-topic.

nSince she didn’t have the golden fingers of an old grandpa or granny, could it be that some evil soul had invaded and seized her body?

nAlright, Liao Zixuan admitted that he had read too many novels.

nBecause Vivian didn’t show any abnormalities whether it was through his Dark Flame Wolf’s extraordinary perception or the game system.

nIn other words, Vivian was Vivian right now. That was absolutely true.

nEh?

nIn that case, I’m no longer worried… over my dead body, I’ll stop worrying!

nWhat happened to the cannon fodder NPC? What happened to the ordinary, easily bullied, mediocre village girl?

nWhy does she have a twin personality?!

nIt was one thing to have two personalities, but what’s the deal with this other personality? Master of combat? Magical prodigy? Innate talent? Mad Sickle Monster?

nHi?

nThis person was cheating openly. Was there anyone who would care?

nThey both had the same body. They were both called Vivian. They were both poor little girls who shared the same experiences. Why was one personality so overpowered?

nGood lord, even a novelist would not dare to write a plot point like this?!

nHe even said that he would nurture her into a legendary Witch. What was there to nurture?

nIf it was now, at this moment, right before his eyes.

nIf this Vivian in front of him—with an expression of “All the people here are trash”, “I’m the most powerful”, “Tch, just this?”—wasn’t good enough for a Witch, then tell me what a f*cking Witch was!

nWhere was my pure sweet girl?

nLiao Zixuan wailed to himself. He slumped to the ground listlessly, his little tail wagging left and right gloomily.

n“Hehe, you… don’t seem to be afraid of me at all?” Although Liao Zixuan didn’t say a word, the wolf cub’s actions still made Vivian’s face turn cold and her tone sharp.

nShe had always been the one giving others the cold shoulder.

nThe “always” here referred to the second time she had used this body since she was born. Oh, including this time, this was only the second time.

nLiao Zixuan yawned lazily.

nThe blow to his heart finally lifted a little, because he discovered the fatal flaw of Vivian’s second personality.

nHer brain was not working too well.

n“Are you Vivian?”

n“Yes.”

n“Am I Vivian’s Summoned Beast?”

n“Yes.”

n“Do we have a life contract?”

n“Yes.”

n“Then why should I be afraid of you? Just because you’re her second personality? Because you have a terrible personality? Because you like violence? Because you’re unreasonable?”

n“…”

nAfter Liao Zixuan spoke, Vivian fell silent.

nSeeing that this little girl didn’t seem to have it easy, the little wolf pup finally softened a little. He lowered his tone and said nicely,

n“Please, don’t think a second personality is anything rare. I’ve seen enough of this thing. Take it easy. It’s no big deal.”

nAs Liao Zixuan spoke, he waved his little wolf claws in a mature manner.

nIt was worth mentioning that he was able to talk to Vivian so freely and fluently—instead of relying on the vague thoughts from before—solely based on the second personality’s masterful control of magic power.

n“You’ve… met other people who have a… second personality?” Vivian’s tone took on a rare rushed quality as if she’s desperate.

nThe girl was stuttering a little as she spoke because the term “second personality” was completely foreign to her. Or rather, for the first time, she realized that she was not evil, strange or heretic. Instead, she was a “second personality”. There were even many of her kind.

n“Come, sit down. I’ll explain it to you.”

nCompared to a brand new soul who, despite being blessed by the heavens, was still a baby and had not seen much of the world,

nLiao Zixuan, who had read countless books on Earth, could easily fool… ah, ptui, he could not explain much in detail.

n“Basically, most second personalities, especially those who are born later, come from the need to protect the primary personality. When they encounter something that they cannot bear but have to do, the second personality will take over and complete it.”

n“Like… murder.”

n“Think about it carefully. How were you born? Did Vivian suffer a serious blow back then?”

nAfter Liao Zixuan spoke, the girl did not reply.

nHowever, from the look of reminiscence on her face, it was clear that he was not far from the truth.

n“So… I was born because Vivian needed me?” After holding it in for a long time, Liao Zixuan never imagined that the young girl was actually holding in such a sentence.

n“Of course.”

n“It is precisely because she can’t solve it that she needs another completely different version of herself, which is you, to help her get through difficult times.”

nThe little wolf nodded deeply in agreement.

n“Then… Vivian won’t… won’t hate me? After all, I…”

nSeeing that the girl in front of him was about to say something, Liao Zixuan hurriedly extended his little wolf claw and called for a pause.

nGood lord!

nGood lord indeed!

nAlthough she looked like a little devil on the outside, she was actually a hidden tsundere towards her primary personality.

nVivian, who was pure as a white lotus with a completely different personality, was simply heaven-defying!

nHeaven-defying!

n“My second personality likes me a lot, but she doesn’t dare to say it out loud, so she pretended to be an arrogant villain to protect me.”

nLiao Zixuan finally understood.

nThe second personality in front of him wasn’t really stupid. She only became stupid when it concerned the primary personality.

n“Don’t worry, she definitely won’t hate you. On the contrary, I’m willing to bet that once she finds out about your existence, she will definitely try to initiate communication with you.”

n“Hehe, her? That coward?” The young girl turned her head away. Her old habit of being a tsundere had resurfaced.

nAfter all, anyone who knew that there was another consciousness in their body would feel afraid, right?

n“Coward?”

nLiao Zixuan shook his head.

n“Would a coward dare to come alone to the Dreadclaw Forest to pick medicinal herbs for her brother’s illness? Would a coward dare to go against the Fire God Sect knowing that she was wanted?”

n“Braveness is not just charging forward blindly. That’s called being a fool. Braveness is the determination to move forward despite being extremely afraid.”

nAfter the wolf pup finished speaking, he looked at the young girl who seemed to not understand. He took advantage of the situation and made an agreement with the second personality.

n“Do you dare to make a bet?”

n“A bet?”

n“Yes, after the main personality regains consciousness, if she really initiates contact with you, then you…”

n“You must not reject her. How about it?”

n
