The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 988 (Half of the Story)

Ma Ji completely trusts Meng Shisan, and Meng Shisan cannot betray Ma Ji's trust.

They arranged a time to meet at Baolai Restaurant.

Like Que Xian Lou, all the private rooms at Bao Lai Lou can be reserved for long-term use. As long as you pay a one-year exclusive fee, Bao Lai Lou will keep the private room for you and will not use it for other guests, even if it is empty.

Meng Shisan's original body enjoys both tea and wine, but because the original owner's body is delicate and weak, it is not suitable for her to drink wine. Therefore, she does not drink wine often, and even when she does, she can only drink fruit wine.

Therefore, in Que Xian Lou, the third room on the left on the second floor was her private room, although she often sat by the window in the lobby of Que Xian Lou to drink tea.

At Baolai Restaurant, she learned today that Cui Yu had asked the manager, Zhuang Yanli, to reserve a private room for her, also located on the second floor, in the third room from the left, called the Daughter Red Private Room.

So today, Meng Shisan arranged to meet Ma Ji to discuss some matters. He led Ma Ji directly upstairs to the second floor and into the elegant room of the Daughter's Red Chamber to talk.

"Miss, what important matter is it that you are taking so seriously?" Ma Ji had just sat down in the guest seat when he sensed a seriousness emanating from Meng Shisan.

This sense of seriousness made him somewhat uneasy.

Meng Shisan gestured to Baozhu to pour the wine. After Baozhu finished pouring the wine, she gestured to Ma Ji: "You should drink some Jade Wine first."

Ma Ji glanced at the wine cup that Baozhu had placed in front of him. Looking at the clear, fragrant jade liquor inside, he felt increasingly uneasy.

After a dozen or so breaths, he slowly took the teacup, took a small sip, and gently put the teacup down: "Miss, please speak frankly. I am not young, and I have experienced a lot, so I can bear it."

These words made Baozhu look at her young mistress with a puzzled expression.

"Baozhu, you stay outside and keep watch. No one is allowed to approach. If anyone wants to come in, they must be notified first," Meng Shisan instructed.

"Yes." Baozhu's doubts grew stronger, but she didn't think too much about it. She turned around and left the private room, standing guard by the door.

Inside the threshold, there are screens that block the view. People outside cannot see the guests in the private rooms, and people in the private rooms cannot see the people outside. With this barrier in between, as long as the people inside do not speak loudly, the people outside can hardly hear them.

As soon as Baozhu went out, Meng Shisan immediately had Ma Ji add another layer of sound-isolating barrier, so that the people outside the door could not hear the two's conversation at all.

Once the barrier was set up, Ma Ji stopped casting the spell, sat up straight, and waited for Meng Shisan to tell him some important news.

After Meng Shisan finished speaking, he was indeed so shocked that he couldn't utter a sound for a long time.

Meng Shisan wasn't in a hurry. She sat calmly, eating wine and snacks while waiting.

She had gone through a process of processing it, and she understood Ma Ji's current complex feelings.

After a short while, Ma Ji finally recovered: "What you mean, Miss, is... that my young lady's demonic aura is not just similar to yours, but that it originally came from the same source?"

What does this mean?
This shows that her young lady being an earthworm demon is closely related to the nature and instincts of the earthworm demon race!
“Geckos can detach their tails to survive, while earthworms can regenerate from severed parts.” Meng Shisan revealed what Ma Ji was thinking at that moment. “I suspect that your young lady’s true form is the severed part of some great earthworm demon.”

In truth, it was no longer a matter of doubt; she was already certain. However, she didn't want to reveal her true identity yet. Without saying this, she couldn't explain it to Ma Ji.

Meng Shisan's next words were even clearer, and Ma Ji's head exploded in that instant: "Sever...sever?"

The jade pendant that Huang Jing's family was looking for was Meng Shisan's Qingrang. Although it was only half, it was still hers. After persuading Huang Jing to stay in the capital for the New Year, the half of Qingrang naturally remained in her possession.

She needs to continue investigating this half of the Green Soil to uncover the truth buried deep within. As for the final destination of this half of the Green Soil, she currently has no idea.

She already possessed the other half of Qingrang, so this jade pendant was just an object to her. If she had to say what its significance was, it was probably that it was a mortal woman's gift to her and the earthly object that had accompanied her the longest.

In the past, she had entered the world and tried to experience the life of ordinary people by immersing herself in the mundane world. Therefore, she did not start wearing the jade pendant after becoming Meng Liangchen.

However, the jade pendants she used to wear were all broken by her accidental bumps and knocks, either falling and breaking with a loud crash or being lost without her knowing when.

She never paid any attention to left or right.

It's just a mundane thing.

I never felt sorry for them, nor did I ever search for them.

Only Qingrang was given a name by her and was always worn on her waist until it was struck by lightning and split in two after a thousand years of tribulation.

She didn't notice it at the time, and by the time she realized it and looked for it again, it was too late.

She originally thought that the Qingrang could never be whole again, but unexpectedly, after five hundred years, she was able to find the lost half of the Qingrang by such a coincidence.

It seems that Qingrang and she are truly destined to be together.

Moreover, their connection is very deep.

"Miss Meng Ying was originally just a fragment. If you bury it in fertile and safe soil, it will take some time to grow back into a complete body," Meng Shisan said with certainty.

Such a confident tone made Ma Ji feel as if he had tinnitus; for a moment, he couldn't hear anything else. After a long while, he finally said, "...No wonder...no wonder Miss always said she was different from the other earthworm demons..."

"Haven't you ever thought about this?" Meng Shisan asked, wanting to know if Ma Ji had secretly investigated anything because of this question.

If Ma Ji has any knowledge of Meng Shisi, then perhaps he can point her in the right direction for a thorough investigation.

She looked at him expectantly.

Ma Ji didn't notice Meng Shisan's expectant gaze at all. He seemed to unconsciously pick up his wine cup, then unconsciously picked up the wine pot, filled his cup, and then tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.

Meng Shisan wasn't in a hurry. He also picked up his wine glass and slowly sipped it.

As Baolailou's signature wine, Yuye Niang has an exceptional taste. She had tried it before, just a small amount, and thought it was delicious. Today, she found it even more delicious.

I drank three cups without realizing it.

She blinked, her vision slightly blurred, and she knew she couldn't drink anymore; if she did, she wouldn't be able to get to the important business she was discussing today.

The cup was small, not even as tall as her finger, so the three cups she drank were actually not much.

She sighed; this body was truly useless.

“…I’ve thought about it,” Ma Ji suddenly said.

Meng Shisan raised her eyes, which seemed to be veiled by a layer of mist, and stared intently at Ma Ji: "And then?"
