Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 313 Multiple Personalities
The love between boys and girls is always passionate.

It is the time when you are young and competitive, with endless energy, and even your heart is weakened.

The passion accumulated for more than half a year was released in an instant, and the small villa was filled with the smell of hormones and various pieces of furniture.

The two of them lazily huddled on a half-collapsed sofa. Even though the sun was already high in the sky, neither of them had the slightest intention of getting up.

"I'm hungry."

Ding Yumian's voice was hoarse and muffled, and her bright eyes looked at Xu Shen eagerly.

"What to eat?"

"Tin foil brains and shrunken intestines!"

"Why do I feel like your menu has expanded a lot since your trip to the Holy City?" Xu Shen half-jokingly said, "You never touched this kind of thing before."

"You seem to be eating delicious food. I want to try it."

"Tsk, if that's the case, then let our Mianmian experience some real human delicacies."

Xu Shen stood up and carefully carried Yu Mian, who was wrapped around him like an octopus, into the bedroom.

"Just wait patiently, I'll call you when it's done."

"Uh-huh."

Xu Shen was a little absent-minded when he was rummaging through the ingredients in the refrigerator.

There's something wrong with Yumian these past few days.

First of all, it’s about addressing her. Sometimes when he called her Yumian, he would deliberately correct it to Miemian.

Her lifestyle habits have also changed a lot. Not only is her diet extremely changeable, but she often wants to eat something one moment, but refuses to eat it the next, saying she is not used to it.

If it were just that, it would be fine. What is horrifying is that sometimes Yumian would call him dad, and this is not just part of a play. She really is like a child calling her father, with innocent and dependent eyes.

Obviously, there were only two of them living in the whole villa, but there was always a feeling that he was getting along with different people...

Wait, different people?!

It was as if a flash of lightning passed through Xu Shen's mind, and he subconsciously loosened his hand, and the intestines fell to the ground.

"What's wrong, Ashen?"

From the other side of the bedroom, Yu Mian's voice came from afar.

"It's okay. A piece of pig intestine accidentally fell on the ground. I'll pick it up right away."

"Oh, young people are impatient and unreliable. Let me wash it, I will wash it."

Yumian said this, put on her clothes and walked out.

Xu Shen said "oh" and picked up the frozen pig intestines and handed them to Yu Mian as if nothing had happened.

The third type is the person who speaks the Shanghai dialect and must be quite old.

……

"Multiple personalities?"

Dean Xiao tapped the table unconsciously with his middle finger, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Will it be serious?"

Seeing Dean Xiao like this, Xu Shen couldn't help but become more worried.

"It's hard to say," Dean Xiao shook his head and said, "Multiple personality disorder is very rare. Apart from some written records, this is the first time I've seen it in real life."

Dean Xiao thought for a long time, found paper and pen and wrote a letter.

Xu Shen was a little surprised. What era is this? There are still people communicating through letters?
"Go ahead, take this letter to Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou. There's an old monk there who might have a solution."

"Old monk?"

Xu Shen was a little surprised.

"Don't ask anything else. He doesn't like people disturbing his life." Dean Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Take Yu Mian with you when you go. The Yi Jue Mage has been coming to the Magic City too frequently these days."

"it is good."

"There is one more thing. The battle between the state and the government will begin in a month. Because you did not participate in the final selection ceremony, many people have some complaints about you as the captain. If it weren't for Ai Jiangtu's pressure, I'm afraid you would have to participate as a substitute. Now that Yu Mian has been rescued, go to Tudor Academy to meet your teammates after the matter in Hangzhou is over."

Xu Shen was a little confused: "How did I become the captain?"

"Ai Jiangtu recommended it." Dean Xiao smiled for the first time. He patted Xu Shen on the shoulder and said, "When the time comes, be more energetic and lively. Don't be so depressed all day long, young man in his early twenties."

"I understand. I won't bring shame to Mingzhu Academy."

Dean Xiao nodded in satisfaction and said, "Go ahead." "Wait," Xu Shen said, taking out three Mind Stones and saying, "I got these Mind Stones in Africa before. I wanted to give them to Dean Jiang in person, but unfortunately he has been away for a while. I don't know when I will return, so I'll trouble you to pass them on for me."

"You are lucky, you can bring back some good things wherever you go." Dean Xiao thought for a while and said, "Mingzhu Academy can't be too petty. Tell me what you want, and I will try my best to satisfy you."

Xu Shen thought about it, cut open the dimensional space, and pulled out the sleeping Apas.

"This girl is a good demon but she insists on being a human. Can you give her an identity that can withstand investigation?"

"That's all?" Dean Xiao smiled and said, "This is your only chance, don't waste it."

Xu Shen also joked: "Mingzhu Academy is my home. If I need help, will my family refuse me?"

"Hahaha, otherwise Chiang Kai-shek would say you are shameless."

……

It was rare to see snow in Hangzhou in February.

The West Lake was shrouded in mist. The green trees on the lakeside were weighed down with white snow crystals. Looking out from afar, the pavilions and terraces on the island in the middle of the lake were outlined by the snow, creating a sense of tranquil beauty.

The whole city looks like a freehand landscape painting, full of fairy air.

Unfortunately, this beautiful scenery attracted not only Xu Shen and Yu Mian, but also the lakeside was crowded with people and there was no secluded place to be found.

The two did not stay in West Lake for long and went straight to Lingyin Temple.

Along the way, Xu Shen also carefully mentioned Yu Mian's illness.

Unexpectedly, Yu Mian did not hide her condition at all and she told Xu Shen a lot.

"So, you split into more than a few personalities?"

"Yes," Yu Mian smiled, hugging Xu Shen's arm and jumping up and down. "If I remember correctly, there was only one person at the beginning, but he was too boring. He just studied magic circles all day long. Then he had more and more personalities for no apparent reason. At the most, there seemed to be tens of thousands of people, not only humans, but also cats and dogs. Anyway, it was a mess at the time, and it was quite lively with everyone making so much noise. Later, the one who studied the magic circle thought it was too noisy, so he made many people disappear."

“Ah?” Xu Shen was stunned for a moment: “How many… how many tens of thousands?”

"Yeah, you think it's amazing too, right?"

"Mianmian," Xu Shen swallowed unconsciously, "What about now? How many are left?"

"I don't know." Yu Mian said, counting on his fingers in annoyance, "The grandma you have seen, there is Xiaoyu, and the silent one who never comes out, the rest seem to be gone."

"Just these three. Yu..." Xu Shen paused and said with a smile: "Mianmian, your symptoms are quite mild."

Ding Yumian snorted and said, "Actually, I don't think I'm sick at all. I feel quite happy to have grandma and Xiaoyu accompany me."

"I like them too," Xu Shen said happily, but he felt a little painful in his heart.

"Hey, A Shen, how did you feel when Xiao Yu called you dad?"

Looking at her mischievous smile, Xu Shen was somewhat speechless: "Put away your dirty thoughts, she is still a child."

"She's not that young actually. She's already 13 years old."

13 years old? !

Xu Shen's heart skipped a beat.

The age of 13 was an extremely important milestone in Yu Mian’s life. That year, she had just entered junior high school. That year, her grandmother who raised her passed away. That year, she almost caused all the students in the school to suffocate to death due to excessive grief.

That year, she was discovered by Dean Xiao and taken to Mingzhu Secondary School. After that, she was promoted to Mingzhu Secondary High School and Mingzhu Academy...

Xu Shen suddenly remembered the literature on multiple personality disorder. This extremely rare mental illness is closely related to childhood trauma...

So, was the confinement in the Holy City for more than half a year just a trigger?
Xu Shen was thinking and unknowingly arrived at the gate of Lingyin Temple.

There are high mountains and lush trees here, but it is not quiet. Young people come here one after another to seek marriage, and it is said that it is very effective.

Yu Mian was not in a hurry to find the mysterious old monk mentioned by Dean Xiao. She just pulled Xu Shen aside and started making wishes.

Xu Shen also went along with her and played with her.

During this period, grandma appeared once and earnestly reminded Xu Shen and Yu Mian to go to bed early and get up early, and eat breakfast on time.

Speaking of this, Xu Shen felt a little embarrassed.

Ever since that cooking incident, grandma seemed to be familiar with the environment of the small apartment and would come out every morning.

My grandma fits everyone's stereotype of the elderly very well. Her daily life is extremely regular. She would probably get up around five in the morning when the birds chirped outside the window, and then clean the house, buy groceries, and cook. She would wake up Mi Mi around seven o'clock and let her take over her body, and then wake up again at five o'clock the next morning, and repeat this cycle over and over again.

But there are occasional exceptions. When Xu Shen and Yu Mian stay up too late, the old lady will lose her patience and appear to scold them.

I still remember the first time "Grandma" opened her eyes from the bed and saw Xu Shen in her arms, the sky fell.

The whole villa was in chaos. If Xu Shen hadn't had an idea and taken out a mirror to make her realize that she was not the real "grandmother", there is no telling how the matter would have ended.
