“So, Yvette, how exactly does this dual-personality thing of yours work?” I asked curiously.
“Does it have specific triggers, or do you just randomly switch personalities out of nowhere?” “Ah, My Prince, it isn’t quite like that.” Yvette shook her head.
At the moment, she was in her Yang state, which made her seem far more expressive and lively than the cold, emotionless girl who had first introduced herself.
“Most of the time, only one personality is dominant.
The change occurs when I experience strong emotions.” She paused for a moment before continuing.
“When I experience emotions such as fear, anxiety, or nervousness, the Yin personality becomes dominant.” “And when I experience happiness, excitement, affection, or joy, the Yang personality becomes dominant.” “Both personalities are still me.” “There isn’t another person living inside my head or anything like that.” She giggled lightly at the thought before continuing her explanation.
“My emotions simply become polarized toward one extreme or the other.
The way I think, speak, and express myself changes accordingly.” “It is similar to Yin and Yang themselves.” “Two opposites existing within the same whole.” She finished her explanation with a surprisingly serious expression despite being in her Yang state.
As I listened, I found myself studying her more closely.
Right now, she looked nothing like the icy, emotionless girl from earlier.
Instead, she resembled an ordinary teenage girl talking to someone she admired.
The contrast was honestly ridiculous.
And somehow…
Ridiculously adorable.
Damn.
She was cute.
Very cute.
Perhaps sensing my gaze lingering on her face, Yvette blinked.
Then she blinked again.
Those mismatched eyes stared directly into mine.
For a brief moment, neither of us said anything.
Then realization seemed to dawn on her.
A faint blush appeared on her cheeks.
Followed by a deeper blush.
And then an even deeper blush.
It was spreading faster than a forest fire.
Her bright smile became noticeably more bashful as she lowered her head slightly and avoided my gaze.
The puppy-like expression in her eyes only made her look even more adorable.
Meanwhile, I was beginning to understand why her sect had struggled to deal with her.
One moment she was an ice queen capable of freezing the atmosphere around her.
The next moment she transformed into a shy girl whose face turned red from a few seconds of eye contact.
The difference was so extreme that it felt like I was interacting with two entirely different people.
Yet despite her growing embarrassment, she still finished explaining her condition properly.
Professional.
Embarrassed.
Adorable.
All at the same time.
That was honestly an impressive combination.
“Hmm, I see.” I nodded thoughtfully before turning toward Grandmother.
“Grandma, can you tell us more about her physique?” “Since she’s now my Personal Maid, I want to make sure she has a proper cultivation path that can help her reach greater heights in the future.” Ophis smiled faintly at my words.
“Let’s see.” “As Tia already told you, her soul physique is known as the Yin-Yang Myriad Soul.” “It is one of the most compatible physiques in existence for comprehending the Laws of Yin and Yang.” Yvette immediately straightened her posture upon hearing this.
Even she was eager to learn more about her own physique.
“The physique grants her a natural affinity for both laws.” “Compared to ordinary cultivators, her understanding of Yin and Yang progresses at an absurd rate.” “In terms of talent, she surpasses ninety-nine percent of all beings in existence when it comes to those laws.” Ophis paused briefly before continuing.
“More importantly, she possesses exceptional compatibility with the fusion of Yin and Yang.” I blinked.
The fusion of Yin and Yang?
That sounded ridiculously powerful.
As expected, Ophis nodded.
“Remember, Yin and Yang are not elementary laws.” “They are Greater Laws.” “And the fusion of the two is classified as a Top-Tier Supreme Law.” I couldn’t help but suck in a breath.
A Top-Tier Supreme Law.
Even within the Supreme Realms, anyone capable of comprehending such a law would be considered a heavenly genius among heavenly geniuses.
The kind of monster that sects and empires would fight wars over.
I had already felt that Yvette was special.
Now I understood just how special she actually was.
My intuition had once again proven itself absurdly accurate.
At this point, I was becoming increasingly convinced that Heaven had secretly given me protagonist-level plot armor as its favorite child.
Honestly, if I ever discovered a golden finger hidden somewhere, I wouldn’t even be surprised anymore.
Ophis continued her explanation.
“As for her dual personalities, they are neither a flaw nor a side effect.” Both Yvette and I focused on her words.
“The Yin-Yang Myriad Soul naturally causes its owner to experience the extremes of both Yin and Yang.” “It is her soul’s way of helping her comprehend the essence of those laws.” “The emotional fluctuations are intentional.” “They are part of the physique’s cultivation process.” Yvette’s eyes widened slightly.
It was obvious nobody had ever explained it to her in such detail before.
Ophis nodded.
“Her emotions are being guided toward opposite extremes so she can experience both aspects more deeply.” “Coldness and warmth.” “Calmness and passion.” “Detachment and affection.” “By experiencing both, she gradually gains a greater understanding of Yin and Yang.” Then Ophis smiled.
“The good news is that the effect is temporary.” “When she reaches the Empyrean Realm, the physique will stabilize.” “The emotional fluctuations will disappear, and both aspects will become perfectly balanced.” “Do you understand?” For the first time since the explanation began, genuine excitement appeared in Yvette’s eyes.
“Yes, Your Eminence.” She bowed deeply.
“Yvette thanks Your Eminence for her valuable guidance.” “Fufu.” Ophis waved her hand dismissively.
“You don’t need to thank me.” “As long as you take good care of my grandson and serve him with sincerity, I don’t mind offering guidance whenever I have free time.” Yvette’s face immediately brightened.
“Yes!” “I will devote myself completely to serving My Prince!” Her declaration was filled with enough determination to make it sound like she had just accepted some sacred mission.
I could only offer a wry smile.
The enthusiasm was a little overwhelming.
Still, I was grateful.
“Thanks for the explanation, Grandma.” Ophis immediately patted my head.
“Anything for you, dear.” As I watched Yvette standing beside me, I found myself thinking about our future relationship.
Sure, she was technically my Personal Maid now.
But honestly?
I planned to treat her more like a friend who happened to help take care of me.
At least this version of Yvette.
The cheerful Yang personality was incredibly easy to talk to.
Though…
The Yin personality was pretty cute too.
The emotionless face.
The flat voice.
The completely deadpan expressions.
For some reason, I found myself wanting to see that expressionless mask crack.
I wanted to see her become embarrassed.
Flustered.
Annoyed.
Surprised.
The thought alone almost made me grin.
The gap between her two personalities was simply too entertaining.
As I was imagining all the future opportunities for harmless teasing, Mother suddenly spoke.
Apparently, while Grandma had been explaining Yvette’s physique, Mother had been handling the arrangements for the organization I requested.
Judging by the satisfied look on her face, everything had already been settled.
