The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 997 Her Doppelganger

“Sometimes people have a burst of energy when they’re alive,” Meng Shisan replied cleverly.

Huang Jing wasn't stupid; he immediately understood: "The time isn't right yet?"

Meng Shisan smiled but remained silent.

Timing is a wondrous and inexplicable thing.

Huang Jing understood. She didn't give up asking for the answer, but she stopped asking for now. She trusted Meng Shisan. Once the time was right and he was ready to speak, Meng Shisan would tell her without her having to ask.

Miss Meng is not a stingy person.

“Although I never saw Meng Ying’s lifeless body, I did see the portrait you drew of her after you visited her grave. I remember there was a small, crescent-shaped brown mole behind her right earlobe.” Huang Jing remembered even more clearly that when she pointed out this feature to Meng Shisan, Meng Shisan’s expression was somewhat strange. “Is this related to your insistence on finding out her identity?”

She is a demon slayer and a celestial master. Although she has a carefree personality, she can also be meticulous.

Meng Shisan thought for only two breaths before nodding and saying, "Yes."

She also has this mole.

Meng Shisi not only has one, but its location is exactly the same as the crescent-shaped brown mole that she has on her body.

She was initially skeptical that they looked alike and had the same crescent-shaped birthmark, but she thought that anything is possible in this world, and that if they were the same, then they were the same, and it wasn't entirely impossible.

However, it wasn't until Meng Shisi emerged from the burial mound at her moment of crisis, transforming into half a black mist to save her and Meng Renkang, and severely struck Li Heng and his assassins who were trying to harm her and her brother, that she realized that Meng Shisi was similar to her, not only in what she thought were two different things, but also in their demonic aura.

Everything else can be considered a coincidence, but the demonic energy originating from the same source cannot possibly be a coincidence.

The same origin indicates that they come from the same entity.

And she, Meng Shisan, is the original self.

This is sufficient to show that Meng Shisi was a segment of her body that was differentiated from her original body.

Over the course of more than a thousand years, she has suffered countless injuries, both minor and severe, but only once was she so badly injured that a section of her torso was severed.

That time, she was a thousand years old and needed to undergo a tribulation of lightning.

During her tribulation, she returned to her original form and used her massive body to withstand the immense lightning tribulation. After enduring one lightning tribulation after another, she was covered in wounds, her long green jade pendant broke in half and was lost, and her original body was severely damaged, with a small section being broken off.

At the time, she didn't think much about it, nor did she have the energy to think about it any further. She dragged her injured body into the soil, buried herself deep, and went to sleep to recuperate. The small section that was broken off was left on the ground. It wasn't until the small section of her body grew back in the soil and returned to the ground that a hundred years had passed.

For her, those hundred years were but a blink of an eye. When she returned to the ground and thought about it again, the small section of her torso that had been severed was nowhere to be found.

She doesn't care either.

Thinking back on the past hundred years, it should all have turned to dust.

Unexpectedly, that small section not only did not turn to dust, but it was buried and reborn, becoming another part of her.

This alter ego is said to be her, but it is not her.

Meng Shisi knew this well, and after taking shape, he called himself Meng Shisi, with his given name below hers. Later, he became the daughter of a general, named Meng Ying, and experienced a romantic affair with the First Emperor of Wei.

Meng Shisi looks exactly like her, but she is not her after all. Her demonic aura can be exactly the same as hers, but her demonic soul is absolutely impossible. Therefore, Meng Shisi told Ma Ji that her demonic soul is unstable. This is one of the reasons why a mere mortal concubine could take Meng Shisi's life with a bowl of poison.

The strength of a demon's soul is extremely important.

She is Meng Shisan, her true form. Her demonic soul is incredibly powerful, whether it is in her physical form or not.

Meng Shisi is not her. Even if she appears similar to her, it is only similar; she can never be her, and she can never have the same powerful and stable demon soul. The instability of her demon soul has resulted in Meng Shisi's insufficient demon power, and her postpartum demon body is so weak that it is extremely vulnerable.

If this is the reason why she was forced to become Meng Liangchen, she believes it; at the same time, she believes there are other reasons as well.

One reason after another will eventually piece together the truth she wants.

As time goes by, she will get the answer and understand cause and effect.

"Is it very important?" Huang Jing instinctively felt that it must be very important.

"Very important." It concerns Meng Shisan himself, so of course it is extremely important.

Huang Jing asked, "Is there someone else with a crescent-shaped brown mole?"

Meng Shisan frowned in distress: "...She's not human."

"Huh?" Huang Jing's eyes widened silently. "Not human? Could it be...?"

She didn't say the last word "demon" aloud, but instead mouthed it with her back to Baozhu and Meng Shisan.

Meng Shisan nodded.

Huang Jing was stunned: "You... just how many people do you know...?"

The last character, "妖" (yāo), is in a muted state again.

Meng Shisan couldn't answer this. She had encountered many demons and couldn't explain to Huang Jing, "You'll know later."

Baozhu was completely confused: How could he know?

"It's happening again," Huang Jing muttered dejectedly.

Baozhu understood: That's how Miss is.

Previously, in order to help Li Shou, and also to help the Meng family itself, Meng Shisan had been busy with many matters concerning the common people, such as the flood in Lueyang and the collapse of the Mid-Autumn Lantern Mountain in Bixu Manor. With Li Heng's death, although many things have not been completely resolved, many things have been simplified, and she no longer needs to intervene. She can just wait for Li Shou to sort things out and come to a conclusion.

Now that she has some free time, she can finally focus on thoroughly investigating Meng Ying's matter.

The problem is where to begin the investigation.

Meng Shisan sat back in the recliner, took the tea that Baozhu handed her, and drank it sip by sip, lost in thought.

Huang Jing also sat down on the low stool next to the recliner. She didn't get an answer to her last question. She didn't know if Meng Shisan didn't want to answer or didn't know how to answer. In any case, she thought that judging from the fact that there were several demons in this courtyard, Meng Shisan must know quite a few demons.

But Meng Shisan was not old, just turned 13, five years younger than her. According to rumors, she was a sickly young lady who rarely left her home. Logically speaking, she shouldn't know so many demons.

However, it's hard to say.

Meng Shisan was the grandson of a high-ranking official, so naturally, there were sycophants who would come to him. Even though he never stepped out of his mansion, he still had many visitors.

Judging from the camellia, water snake, silver fox with near-demon intelligence, the unusually plump white eel Xiaobai, and the powerful Chang'an horse Ji, all of these creatures that Meng Shisan has taken in, Meng Shisan is practically a demon-absorbing spirit.

Those close to Meng Shisan include not only exorcising demon masters like her, but also all sorts of demons and spirits.

Huang Jing looked at Meng Shisan and saw that Meng Shisan was deep in thought, so he knew that Meng Shisan cared a lot about Meng Ying's matter.
