The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 905: Bright

Wu Shaohao was scolded and beaten until he silently lowered his head.

Officer Qi couldn't stand it and wanted to say something, but Wu Pinbai silenced him with a single look.

Meng Meijing also wanted to say something for Wu Shaohao, but when she saw Wu Pinbai glaring at Constable Qi, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

...What my uncle said is true.

If something really happens, her cousin from her maternal uncle's side can't even protect himself, let alone protect her. The best thing he can do is not cause trouble.

As she pondered this, Meng Meijing suddenly realized that she seemed to be in the same situation beside Meng Shisan. She couldn't protect her elder sister in the slightest, and on the contrary, her elder sister had to protect her in every way.

Without realizing it, his face started to droop.

Despite his sadness, Wu Shaohao was still paying attention to Meng Meijing. When he saw that Meng Meijing's pretty face looked like it had been hit by something, he wondered what was wrong with his cousin.
Huang Jing, Ma Ji, and Lan Zhijin, who later chased them to the outskirts of the city, had not yet returned to the city. Silver Fox and Water Snake returned to the Meng Mansion first.

Silver Fox's return to the manor was fine. The masters and servants in the Meng family were already used to it. They had long been accustomed to Silver Fox leaving and returning in a grand manner. Whether it walked through the door properly or jumped up and down in a frivolous manner, it had become a common occurrence.

Today, it entered properly through the main gate, walking step by step from the front courtyard to the back residence, returning to Taichen Courtyard with its feet firmly on the ground.

The water snake was different. When Meng Shisan first brought it back to the Meng family mansion, it was kept in a water vat outside the Mingxiao Hall in Taichen Courtyard. Later, it was ordered by Meng Shisan to enter the palace and possess the Tianlan Sachet, which it wore on Li Shou's waist to protect him at all times. Later, when the incident with the demon occurred, it was seriously injured and rescued from the palace by Meng Shisan. It then recuperated in the water vat until it recovered and helped Huang Jing go to Kuangguang River to find old objects belonging to the Huang clan. Then, when it suddenly noticed the strange movements of the demon circle, it went to Qingbei Mountain to check the grave mounds. After finding nothing, it returned with the silver fox. This was the first time it had openly walked from the front yard to the back house under the noses of everyone in the Meng family mansion.

It didn't walk on its own, but instead lay on the back of the silver fox, curled up into a ball, its green color dazzling, its gray vertical pupils half-closed, letting the silver fox carry it back to Taichen Courtyard.

As soon as the silver fox and the water snake entered the gate of Taichen Courtyard, the old woman guarding the gate turned stern and immediately glared at several servants from the other courtyards who had followed them all the way to the gate.

The news spread rapidly, reaching not only all the courtyards of the Meng residence, but also the main courtyard of Taichen Courtyard. By the time the silver fox carried the water snake through the Treasure Bottle Gate of Mingxiao Hall, a large crowd had already gathered under the eaves.

With spring appreciation as the main theme, Baozhu, Jinyin, and Siyu stood in a row on the left and right, respectively, with four jades on the left and four children on the right, a total of eleven people, welcoming their return with burning eyes.

The silver fox was alright. As a Qilin deer, it was already quite arrogant. Now, seeing this scene, the fox raised its head higher and higher, and its eyes became more and more smug.

Before entering the Treasure Bottle Gate, the water snake was actually quite well-behaved and didn't pay much attention to the scrutinizing gazes along the way. However, at this moment, feeling the gazes of Shang Chun and the others staring at it, the snake quickly lowered its head and completely buried it in the fox fur.

This contrasts sharply with the fox's proud and arrogant expression.

"Are you shy?" Baozhu was the first to speak.

Jin Yin replied, "It should be?"

Compared to their uncertainty, Shangchun smiled and concluded: "They must be embarrassed by all of us staring at them."

“Before, it always stayed in the water tank and I rarely saw Xiaoqing float to the surface to play. It always sank to the bottom of the tank with its eyes closed and was not lively at all. At that time, I thought Xiaoqing must be a quiet water snake!” Xiuyu said with certainty.

“Yes, yes, yes!” It was rare for Chaiyu to follow Jinyin out of the small kitchen. Instead of focusing on studying the cooking skills Jinyin taught her, she also had a deep impression of the two times she saw the water snake. “The last time I saw Xiaoqing, it was like little fish jumping up and down playing on the surface of the water. That time, it was rare to see Xiaoqing float to the surface, but I only saw the snake’s tail and not Xiaoqing’s head.”

Cangyu, the least noticeable of the four jades, interjected, "What did the snake tail do?"

“It jumped up and tapped the little fish’s face with its snake tail, just once. I saw it hit it hard, and it immediately sent the little fish flying back into the water, no longer daring to jump around,” Chaiyu replied. Tongyu smiled, pursing her lips: “So, Xiaoqing is actually a quiet water snake.”

"I think so."

"I think so too."

The pearls, gold, and silver all echoed this sentiment.

Shang Chun smiled without saying a word; she agreed.

"Alright, after staring at her for so long, are you trying to make Xiaoqing afraid to ever leave the bottom of the vat again?" Meng Shisan's smiling voice came from Mingxiao Hall.

Upon hearing this, Shangchun turned around and entered the hall with Baozhu.

The rest of the people covered their mouths and chuckled, then quickly dispersed to go about their own business.

The silver fox, somewhat exasperated, communicated with the water snake in animal language: "It's just a look, what's there to be embarrassed about? A grown man like you, what's wrong with letting them look a few more times?"

It's not as good as this.

It was female, and had been looked at so many times by everyone in the Meng family, but it didn't feel ashamed at all. If they wanted to look, it would let them look at it with its head held high and its body held high.

No matter how you look at it from the left or right, it won't be missing a single fox hair.

The water snake was rendered speechless by the silver fox's words. Unlike the silver fox, which was a remnant soul possessing a fox body to gain the chance to remain in the mortal world, and regardless of whether the remnant soul was a female Qilin deer or the old silver fox that Li Zhaoqin later sent was also female, it was always female. The water snake, on the other hand, chose a male body at the beginning of its transformation.

The transformation process was not smooth, resulting in its transformation not being completely successful. As a result, to this day, it is still in a half-human, half-snake state, and it cannot escape the fact that it is a male.

So when the silver fox scolded it, it could only pretend it didn't hear.

To be honest, even the snake felt it wasn't very manly.

"What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and come in." Meng Shisan saw that the silver fox was still talking about the water snake in animal language, so she couldn't help but speak up to help the water snake out of its predicament.

It feels like if these two are together, the one being suppressed is definitely the water snake.

However, when the water snake and the little fish were together, the little fish was completely suppressed.

Little Fish was just an ordinary grass carp. Its ability to understand human nature was only due to the demonic energy she had fed it, which caused it to change and become different from other grass carp.

Despite the differences, Little Fish did not become a demon.

Becoming a demon is not so easy.

To make it easier for her to learn about things with them later, she dismissed Shangchun and Baozhu, saying they could only enter when summoned by her.

"Yes." Shangchun Baozhu left the room.
