The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 978 This Feature

When she entered the burial mound during the day, the master did not ask her to go in, but only gave her the task of watching over Cui Yu and Baozhu.

Even now, her master still wouldn't let her go, only giving her other tasks, and he wouldn't entrust the investigation of the burial mound to anyone else.

It is clear that the truth about the burial mound was of particular importance to the owner.

She knew nothing about why Meng Ying was so important except that her appearance was exactly the same as her master's.

The water snake had helped its master investigate the burial mound even earlier than she had. Perhaps she could find an opportunity to ask the water snake if the silly snake knew any more information about the burial mound.

Meng Shisan wanted to examine the burial mound alone again, because she wanted to try and see if she could summon the half-shadow with her demonic energy.

Her demonic aura is part of her original demonic power. Since the shadowy figure's aura is identical to her original demonic power, and it appeared in time to save her when she was in danger, she might be able to find out the answer based on this.

To do this, she would need to use up all her demonic energy.

The demonic energy contained in the blood of this human body, belonging to her demonic form, was far too low to condense into a cohesive mass without being completely exhausted.

Once it runs out, there might be danger.

Knowing this, Chang'an would surely stop her from taking the risk, which is why she avoided Cui Yu's eyes and ears while also sending Chang'an away.

Standing in front of the tombstone on the burial mound, Meng Shisan's right hand began to gather demonic energy.

As time passed, the demonic energy gathered more and more, growing thicker and thicker, until the white ball of light in her right palm grew larger and larger, eventually reaching the size of her head.

By this time, she was already feeling the strain.

Cold sweat slid down her forehead, dripping at her feet and wetting the soil in front of the tombstone.

To have all the demonic energy contained in one's blood extracted is no less painful than having one's marrow extracted from one's bones.

She endured it until it was finished.

Upon completion, she cast the white ball of light formed from gathered demonic energy into the burial mound behind the tombstone.

If Meng Shisi truly possessed the same demonic power as her original body, then even though Meng Shisi's body was no longer there, the accumulated power over the years would still leave a faint trace of demonic energy within the coffin.

Now she cast her demonic energy into it. If Meng Shisi's demonic energy truly belongs to the same origin as hers, then it will inevitably merge with the remaining demonic energy of Meng Shisi inside the coffin after the white light ball enters the grave mound.

She did what she was supposed to do; now all she has to do is wait for the results.

A moment later, the white ball of light emerged from the grave and flew back into her palm.

It's a little bigger and a little heavier, and there's a faint touch of white in the otherwise white.

As expected... Meng Shisi's demonic aura and hers share the same origin.

Meng Shisan was stunned.

She couldn't understand it. Even though they were of the same kind, both being earthworm demons, she and Meng Shisi were completely different demons, not the same demon. How could they possibly share the same origin?
unless……

Suddenly, she thought of one of the characteristics of an earthworm.

Thinking about this characteristic, thinking that nothing makes sense unless it is this fact, and thinking that this fact is created by this characteristic, her mind was in a state of utter confusion.

After Meng Shisan returned to the women's quarters and lay down to rest, Chang'an went out of the inner room and rested on the daybed in the outer room, just like Baozhu. The image of her master's empty and complicated eyes when he returned from the cemetery kept flashing before her eyes.

The matter of the burial mound must be no ordinary matter, otherwise the owner would not be becoming less and less like the owner of the past.

Unfortunately, the water snake wasn't on Qingbei Mountain, and she couldn't easily leave her master now. Otherwise, she really wanted to immediately ask that silly snake who Meng Ying in the burial mound was and why he had made her master so abnormal. Early the next morning, Meng Shisan had Baozhu pack up and go down the mountain.

Chang'an held back for a long time, but finally couldn't help herself. While Baozhu was packing her belongings in the guest room, she asked Meng Shisan, "Last night, did Miss discover something terrible?"

"What do you mean by 'amazing'?" Meng Shisan countered.

Chang'an carefully chose his words: "It is...it is..."

Before she could even think of a suitable way to ask, Meng Shisan had already started walking away. She followed and heard her master chuckle softly.

As she listened, just listening gave her goosebumps.

The laughter was slightly eerie, carrying a hint of rage, and within that rage lay a touch of helplessness.

She had never heard her master laugh out loud like that before, so much so that for a moment, she hesitated and faltered as she tried to keep up.

It wasn't until Baozhu finished packing and chased after her, catching up and walking alongside her, that she finally came to her senses.

"Chang'an, what's wrong?" Baozhu noticed that Chang'an's expression was different.

Chang'an reached up and touched her face: "What's wrong?"

"Yes, what's wrong? You don't look well. Did you not sleep well last night?" Baozhu asked with concern.

Chang'an shook his head: "No."

"That……"

"Miss is ahead, we need to hurry."

Baozhu was interrupted by Chang'an, who didn't want to talk about it in detail. Without thinking much about it, she said "Oh" and walked faster with Chang'an. In a short while, she caught up with Meng Shisan, who had fallen a little distance behind them.

When Meng Shisan and his two servants left the women's quarters, the bundle on Baozhu's shoulder was spotted by Cui Yu's men, who quickly ran to the men's quarters to report it.

When Meng Shisan and Nianying took their leave, Baozhu, following Meng Shisan's instructions, added more money for incense and oil. As she and Chang'an walked out of the Taoist temple, Cui Yu was already waiting outside the temple gate.

"Is Seventh Young Master Cui coming down the mountain with me?" Meng Shisan asked with a smile as he walked towards Cui Yu.

Cui Yu nodded: "Together."

“Alright, I went up the mountain in a sedan chair, and I’ll inevitably go down in a sedan chair today as well…” Meng Shisan finished speaking to himself, then asked, “What about you?”

Cui Yu was also prepared: "It will also be a sedan chair."

Meng Shisan nodded slightly and remained silent.

The two walked slowly up the mountain path, one in front of the other, with eight sedan chair bearers carrying the two sedan chairs. Chang'an Baozhu followed on either side of Meng Shisan's sedan chair, while Cui Yu's sedan chair was accompanied by a servant on each side.

Meng Shisan glanced at it, not recognizing it, and then thought of Cui Yu's attendants: "Did Hu Qiao go down the mountain earlier?"

Hearing this, Cui Yu, who was following behind Meng Shisan's sedan chair, replied from his swaying sedan chair, "Yes, we went down the mountain before dawn."

"Is it urgent?"

"It's urgent."

Meng Shisan sensed that Cui Yu was unwilling to elaborate, but since she had nothing better to do, she pressed on, "Could it be that you discovered something and went down the mountain to warn them ahead of time?"

Cui Yu was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant: "No, it was you who told me last night that to investigate Meng Ying's background, we need to look back a hundred years. I told him to go back to the city first to take care of this matter."
