Chapter 169 Little Moon's Closeness and Trust
"So he was an orphan too!"
After hearing what Old Bloom said, Ye Qifeng was stunned.
Turning around in surprise, she looked at Xiao Mingyue, who stood timidly in the center of the awakening array.
Little Mingyue's dark red hair was tied into two small ponytails, which were fluffy and shaped like squirrel tails, hanging quietly on both sides of her little head.
At this moment, she was tightly hugging the dirty bear plush toy with both hands, her two little feet wearing a pair of cloth shoes, her legs together, standing obediently without moving.
No matter how you look at it, she is a cute little girl who is somewhat timid but very well-behaved.
Who would have thought that such a small body could harbor two completely different personalities?
It sounds a bit like a split personality, but it's not quite the same.
Because the personality states presented by dissociative identity disorder are all independent of each other, each personality has its own unique soul and consciousness.
The independent personalities in a split personality often repeatedly regain control of the body and then use the identity they play to communicate with the outside world, including daily interactions with others and the environment, as well as reactions to specific situations.
Also.
Besides personal independence.
Another important characteristic of dissociative identity disorder is...
The memory of independent personalities is not shared, and the alternation of independent personality states usually causes severe amnesia in the subjective consciousness.
This forgetting is not simply forgetfulness, but a complete loss of memory.
However, Xiao Mingyue did not have this problem.
Her soul was not one of two unrelated souls; her consciousness remained constant, her memories were interconnected, and her personality could be switched at any time.
However, switching personalities requires a specific medium, namely a switch.
Bear plush toy.
That's rather strange.
According to Old Bloom, Little Moon suffered a traumatic experience due to the unexpected death of her parents.
But this is not necessarily absolute.
Perhaps it's due to some unknown influence?
For example, she possessed a forbidden curse aura that was many times stronger than that of old Brûlé.
After a moment of silence, Ye Qifeng asked Old Bronn:
"So, giving her a teddy bear will keep her calm, right?"
"Yes, any teddy bear will do."
Old Bronn nodded and replied, "Also, it's important to note that you should never try to forcibly take the teddy bear from Little Moon's hands. Otherwise, while Little Moon's personality will transform into that of a little witch, it will also provoke her anger, making her quite irritable and highly aggressive."
"What if Xiao Mingyue needs to put down the teddy bear she's holding?"
Ye Qifeng's handsome brows furrowed slightly as he explained, "During the Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony, the awakener's hands cannot hold anything, otherwise it will affect the progress of the Martial Soul Awakening and may cause unforeseen circumstances."
Old Bron suddenly realized and said:
"It's not that there's no way, we just need to get Xiao Mingyue to let go willingly."
"However, Xiao Mingyue doesn't like strangers getting close to her. She is very wary of others. Only her closest relatives can make her put down the doll she is holding."
"I usually have a pretty good relationship with Xiao Mingyue, so I can try to get her to put down the teddy bear."
As soon as he finished speaking, old Bloom turned to face Little Moon, a kind smile appearing on his wrinkled face:
"Little Mingyue, you..."
Old Bloom stopped abruptly with a "uh" before he could even begin to speak.
Little Mingyue held the dirty bear doll in her tiny hands, tilted her head back, and stared intently at Ye Qifeng with her wide almond-shaped eyes, saying softly:
"Big brother, here you go."
Although her expression was timid, it wasn't one of fear; instead, it was full of trust and expectation.
She had actually been listening intently to the conversation between Ye Qifeng and Old Bronn the whole time.
Ye Qifeng's gentle voice was exceptionally warm, comforting, and trusting to her ears.
She felt a lot like her mother.
When she heard Ye Qifeng mention that she couldn't hold a teddy bear during the awakening of her martial soul, she didn't hesitate and immediately handed the teddy bear to Ye Qifeng.
Old Bronn stared at Little Moon with his mouth agape in astonishment.
He hadn't expected that Xiao Mingyue would be so close to and trust this excessively young young deacon.
Xiao Mingyue acted so intimately and trustingly towards a stranger.
This was the first time he had ever seen it.
Back then, he went to great lengths to build a good relationship with Xiao Mingyue.
Ye Qifeng was somewhat surprised when he saw the dirty bear plush toy handed to him. He paused for a moment, then smiled brightly at Xiao Mingyue, who was looking up at him. He then squatted down, gently stroked her head a few times, and said in a soft voice:
"Little Moon, are you willing to entrust it to me?"
"Mmm-hmm-hmm."
Xiao Mingyue nodded several times, completely unconcerned about Ye Qifeng stroking her head, and even seemed to enjoy it a little.
Ah, my older brother's hands are so big and warm, just like my father's.
"Alright, then you need to be obedient for a while. Stand inside the formation and don't move. Then follow my instructions as I help you awaken your martial spirit. Understand?"
Ye Qifeng smiled gently and said softly.
"Okay, I promise I won't move. I'll listen to my big brother."
Xiao Mingyue nodded again, making her promise.
Then Ye Qifeng took the dirty bear doll from Xiao Mingyue.
The dirty bear plush toy slipped from his grasp.
Ye Qifeng clearly sensed that Xiao Mingyue's timidity and restraint vanished instantly, replaced by a mischievous and playful expression, with a smug and eccentric smile slowly spreading across her lips.
In her large almond-shaped eyes, her red pupils seemed to have become even deeper.
Two little feet were restless and wanted to stretch out.
This appearance does indeed have a bit of a mischievous little witch vibe.
However, after seeing Ye Qifeng staring at her, she quickly pulled her feet back, suppressed her expression and smile, pretended to be well-behaved, and acted as if she had been obedient just now.
After all, she hadn't forgotten the promise she'd just made: the little witch would listen to her big brother and not let him down.
Is this the Little Witch?
It's alright, it's not as restless as Old Bloom said.
Ye Qifeng smiled faintly and stroked Xiao Mingyue's little head again.
Unbeknownst to him, the mysterious aura contained within Ye Qifeng flowed into his body through his palm and over Xiao Mingyue's head.
Xiao Mingyue was stunned for a moment. The little witch in her heart seemed to be soothed and instantly calmed down, no longer restless.
Old Bronn witnessed this scene and was completely dumbfounded, speechless.
"Grandpa, please take Little Mingyue's teddy bear for now. I need to preside over the Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony."
Ye Qifeng stood up, walked to the stunned old Brûlée, and placed the dirty bear plush toy in his hands.
"Okay, sure."
Old Bronn blankly accepted the dirty bear plush toy.
Then, Ye Qifeng stood beside the awakening array, summoning his martial soul, Shadow, and earnestly said to Xiao Mingyue, who was standing in the center of the array:
"Little Mingyue, no matter what happens later, don't be afraid, okay? Just do as I say."
Under his mental control, a pitch-black figure as tall as him emerged from behind, hovering in mid-air, radiating a hazy black light.
The once brightly lit council hall suddenly became somewhat dark.
