The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 1000, Previous Chapter

Huang Jing raised four fingers on his right hand: "I swear, I guarantee, I absolutely won't!"

With Huang Jing's oath and the thought that Huang Jing might be able to help, Meng Shisan did not stop him any longer and tacitly approved Huang Jing's participation.

Ma Ji was also happy to see this happen, after all, he and Huang Jing had previously tracked down the butterfly demon and the wolf demon together, so they could be considered to have worked together. Huang Jing's abilities and character were both good.

Most importantly, even though she knew he was a horse demon, she was able to let him go after learning that he had never harmed anyone and treated him like a human being, which is especially rare and precious.

Such demon hunters are rare in this world.

Although he never encountered a truly powerful exorcist, Huang Jing was indeed the most unique and discerning of good and evil among all the exorcists he had ever met.

So, when Shang learned that Meng Shisan was going out again, and that he was going out with Ma Ji again, just as she was about to object, Huang Jing stepped forward.

Meng Shisan didn't know what Huang Jing said to persuade Shang Shi, but Shang Shi was pulled into the council hall of Zehui Courtyard by Huang Jing to discuss the matter. When they came out after the discussion, her aunt nodded in agreement.

After they set off, she asked Huang Jing, "What did you say to my aunt?"

Huang Jingtong sat in the Meng family's carriage, a smug look on his face: "I assure your first wife that nothing will happen when we go out today, as long as..."

Meng Shisan stared at her intently.

She chuckled and said, "I will personally explain to His Highness the Crown Prince."

Ma Ji personally drove the carriage. As a demon, he had excellent hearing. Even through two carriage doors, he could hear the conversations inside. Upon hearing this, he thought of Li Shou and frowned slightly.

His young lady met the Crown Prince more than a hundred years ago and died as a result. Now that his eldest daughter has also met the Crown Prince, he has a bad feeling.

The mountain where the two old men lived was not far from the village. It took about half an hour to walk up a natural mountain path at the foot of the mountain to reach the thatched hut built by the two old men.

Huang Long was puzzled: "They are so old, and there are houses in the village, so they have a place to live. Why do they have to come up the mountain to live? Just climbing the mountain is exhausting."

“Perhaps they have their own principles,” Meng Shisan replied vaguely.

"What do you insist on?" Huang Jing pressed.

Meng Shisan did not speak again. She turned to Ma Ji and found that Ma Ji had finished talking with the two old men and was helping them add more dry and durable thatch to the roof of the hut.

She couldn't help but say with emotion: "One of the rules in my clan says that demons can be good or evil, and cannot be judged indiscriminately or killed indiscriminately."

Upon hearing the word "kill," Meng Shisan looked at Huang Jing, who had always treated demons with a policy of subjugation, with a puzzled expression: "Then what kind of demon can be killed?"

“It’s an evil demon that can’t be subdued,” Huang Jing replied. “I don’t need to kill it; I just need to hand it over to Lan Zhijin.”

Lan Zhijin is a demon hunter. Without her interference, no matter what kind of demon is good or evil, once it falls into his hands, it will only end in death.

Meng Shisan looked back at Ma Ji, who was helping two elderly mortals repair the roof of their thatched hut, and nodded, saying, "Your clan rules are truly wise."

Being praised and acknowledged, even though it was based on clan rules rather than on her personally, Huang Jing still looked smug: "That's right!"

It was a little while later when Ma Ji finished his work.

Ma Ji admired his masterpiece with satisfaction. The two old men thanked him, and he returned the bow. Then he walked towards Meng Shisan and Huang Jing, who were waiting for him. "How was it?" Meng Shisan asked as soon as Ma Ji approached, inquiring whether he had gained any further information from his conversation with the two old men.

Ma shook his head quickly: "They know very little, but they told me everything they could."

The hill wasn't big; you could walk there on two legs, or you could walk until your legs broke. Looking in the direction Ma Ji pointed, Meng Shisan and Huang Jing felt it wasn't that far.

However, by noon, Huang Jing's stomach started growling, and they still hadn't reached the Immortal Cave that Ma Ji had previously explored.

Meng Shisan frowned: "How much further?"

Ma Ji then pointed southwest: "After passing through this forest, there will be a cliff. Go around the cliff to the bottom, and walk a little further, and you will see the cave where the immortals live."

“You said you’d walk through this grove from the beginning, but it’s almost noon and we still haven’t made it through.” Huang Jing put her hands on her hips. She was starving. Luckily, she had brought some gold and silver pastries. She took them out of her bag and bit off half a pastry in two bites.

Meng Shisan felt the same way. When she was still in her original form, she could walk for a long time without feeling tired. But now she couldn't. In addition, this human body was already weak, so she was even more unable to walk. Huang Jing was just hungry, but she was both hungry and tired.

The color of her lips had turned pale.

Huang Jing ate some himself, then took out two more pieces of pastry, handing one to Meng Shisan and the other to Ma Ji. Ma Ji took them and ate them, and Meng Shisan also took them, but only held them in his hand.

She took out the water bottle she had prepared for enjoying the spring scenery, unscrewed the stopper, and handed it to Meng Shisan: "Have a sip of water first."

As she said this, there was worry in her eyes.

Ma Ji also noticed Meng Shisan's unwell expression and looked at him with worry in his eyes.

Meng Shisan found a relatively clean and flat rock nearby and sat down. With a kettle in one hand and pastries in the other, he slowly drank a couple of sips and ate a couple of bites before saying, "My health has improved a lot, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to climb this mountain."

Last time she went up Qingbei Mountain, she was still transported by a sedan chair. She sat in the sedan chair and was carried up the mountain safely by the sedan chair bearers.

This time, the matter involved was of utmost importance. She could no longer ride in a sedan chair to the mountain in peace. The fact that she had managed to get here, even though she hadn't reached the cave yet, meant she was almost there.

"Thanks to Physician Yu," Huang Jing added, then suggested, "Why don't you wait here and not go any further? After Mr. Ma and I find the cave and see what's inside, we'll come back and describe it to you in detail, and then you can make your own judgment."

Ma Ji also began to consider the feasibility of this method.

Meng Shisan directly refused: "No, I want to go see for myself."

She had always felt that the deaths of Shangchun's family members were related to the death of Zeng Shi, but the connection was so subtle that it was usually imperceptible. Now that she had come this far and was so close, she couldn't help but go and see for herself what was happening inside the Immortal Cave.

After thinking for a moment, Ma Ji also wanted to offer some advice: "Miss Huang's method is not entirely unfeasible. Why don't you consider it, Miss..."

“No need to consider it.” Meng Shisan refused decisively. “I’m just a little tired. I can still walk after resting for a while.”

Upon hearing this, Ma Ji knew he couldn't persuade Meng Shisan. He glanced at Huang Jing and suddenly said, "Then let's follow the method from last time?"

The method from last time?

Meng Shisan was stunned for a moment, then realized that Ma Ji meant that he transformed into his true form so that she could ride on it, which would make things much easier for her.

Huang Jing was stunned for a moment, not understanding what it meant: "What is the method from last time?"
