Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

“In that case… Brother Shen, why don’t you come with us to Hidden Soldier Valley?” Lu Linxuan said, looking at him expectantly.

"Okay." Shen Ye thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

To be fair, if Shen Ye hadn't gotten involved in Li Xingyun's affair in Yuzhou, he probably would have gone to Fengxiang long ago, and might even have run into the Empress by now.

But since he had gotten involved in Li Xingyun's affairs, he decided to do something to help him. At the very least, he couldn't let Old Li experience the kind of life-and-death separation that he didn't want to experience, under Yuan Tiangang's deliberate arrangement.

(Ugh, there's construction going on near my workplace, and the banging noise has been going on all day. I can't even slack off while writing, and my thoughts are all jumbled up, so this chapter is a bit weak and not very high quality. But thankfully, this chapter is just a transition, so it's not a big deal. Please forgive me.)

(By the way, I also need to speed up the plot progression.)

Chapter 399! A Beauty That Could Topple Kingdoms

……

Having made their decision, the four decided to set off immediately and went back to their rooms to pack their luggage.

Actually, Lu Linxuan intended to have lunch at a restaurant before setting off, but Li Xingyun refused, saying they should just find a place to eat on the way out of the city, probably still upset about losing money.

Soon after, the four of them packed their bags, mounted the horses that Shen Ye had bought, and headed out of the city.

To their surprise, just as they arrived at the city gate, the weather suddenly changed, and a heavy rain began to fall.

With no other option, the four of them led their horses and found a random rooftop on the street to take shelter from the rain, planning to wait for it to stop before setting off again.

While sheltering from the rain, Lu Linxuan suddenly remembered what Shen Ye had told her last night and couldn't help but tease him, "Brother Shen, it won't rain!"

"I meant yesterday." Shen Ye looked at the sky with a sense of frustration, wondering if the mountainous terrain of Sichuan and Chongqing was the reason for the unpredictable weather.

Unfortunately, he was never good at geography, and after thinking for a while, he still couldn't figure out whether there was any connection between the two. In the end, he could only lean against the wall and stare blankly at the heavy rain that had formed a curtain of water.

The heavy rain came quickly, but it didn't stop until almost evening.

Although the rain had stopped, leaving the city at this time was clearly not a good option. After discussing it for a while, the four decided to stay overnight in Yuzhou and set off the next day.

So they randomly picked an inn nearby and decided to stay there.

But when Shen Ye pushed open the door to the front courtyard of the inn and went in, he only took one look and felt that the environment was strangely familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he remembered that this was the inn where Li Xingyun and Zhang Zifan met their "true love" in the original drama.

Thinking of this, Shen Ye immediately turned around and said to Li Xingyun and Zhang Zifan, who came in after him, "Brother Li, Brother Zhang, take my advice, let's change to another inn?"

"Why? Does Brother Shen think the environment here is not good?" Li Xingyun knew that Shen Ye was generous, giving them money and buying them horses, so he must come from a wealthy family. He immediately thought that Shen Ye was complaining about the environment.

"No." Shen Ye shook his head. He and A2 had slept in the wilderness for days before without ever complaining, let alone now.

Zhang Zifan asked curiously, "Why is that?"

Shen Ye didn't know how to explain it. He couldn't very well say that one of them would be pursued by a stunningly beautiful woman, and the other would be targeted by a hermaphrodite, could he?

After thinking for a moment, he could only continue, "Anyway, I suggest you change to another inn; it's for your own good."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Li Xingyun and Zhang Zifan twitched their noses at the same time and exclaimed in unison, "What fragrant wine!"

Then, the two exchanged a glance and simultaneously called out to the waiter at the counter who was opening a jar of wine, "Waiter, what kind of wine is that?"

The waiter was startled and almost dropped the wine jar. He hurriedly put it down and said, "Du...Du Kang."

"What can relieve sorrow? Only wine... Brother Li, since we can't leave tonight anyway, why not have a drink?" Zhang Zifan licked his lips and looked at Li Xingyun.

How could Li Xingyun possibly refuse? He immediately nodded and said, "Then let's have some."

Seeing the two of them excitedly find a place to sit down, Lu Linxuan walked over to Shen Ye and said in an annoyed tone, "That Zhang Zifan has corrupted my senior brother."

Shen Ye shook his head slightly and sighed, "As the saying goes, it takes two to tango. The two of them are just birds of a feather."

Lu Linxuan thought about it and felt that what Shen Ye said made sense, so he also sighed.

"Oh, by the way, Brother Shen, why did you change inns just now?" Lu Linxuan suddenly asked curiously, as she was also curious about why.

"You'll find out later."

As Shen Ye spoke, he turned his head slightly and glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye.

Behind the door behind him, two pairs of eyes filled with desire appeared out of nowhere. However, those two pairs of eyes did not look at the handsome Lu Linxuan, but stared straight at Zhang Zifan, who was holding a wine jar and pouring wine.

"It's hard to persuade that damned ghost with kind words!"

With a cold laugh, Shen Ye muttered something under his breath, then took Lu Linxuan's hand and walked straight towards Li Xingyun and Zhang Zifan.

"Come, Brother Shen, let's drink."

Seeing Shen Ye and his junior sister approach, Li Xingyun placed a bowl of wine in front of him, then raised his own bowl, clinked it against Zhang Zifan's, and drank it all in one gulp.

Watching the two men pouring and drinking, Shen Ye didn't join in. He simply picked up his drink, took a small sip, and chatted and ate with Lu Linxuan as if he didn't know them.

Before long, Shen Ye and Lu Linxuan finished eating, while Li Xingyun and Zhang Zifan were already drunk.

Shen Ye glanced at Lu Linxuan, who was frowning, and said, "Xuan'er, let's go back to our room and rest."

Lu Linxuan had long wanted to leave, so upon hearing this, he nodded, got up, and walked to the counter to book rooms for the four of them.

Before leaving, Shen Ye said to the two drunk men, "Brother Li, Brother Zhang, you two drink slowly. Xuan'er and I are going back to our rooms to rest."

Li Xingyun hiccuped and waved lightly at Shen Ye: "Go on, Brother Shen, go and keep my junior sister company. Brother Zhang and I will drink a little longer... hiccup, Brother Zhang, can you still drink?"

"Of course!" Upon hearing this, Zhang Zifan picked up the wine jar, took a big gulp, and then burst into laughter.

"Hey! I hope you can still be this optimistic tomorrow."

Although he didn't have a good impression of Zhang Zifan, as a man, Shen Ye felt a sense of empathy for what Zhang Zifan had gone through that night, and then shook his head and left.

As Shen Ye walked upstairs with Lu Linxuan, she glanced back at the door and saw two figures, one fat and one thin, push open the door and rush in. Their target was Zhang Zifan.

Unable to bear watching, Shen Ye immediately looked away and pulled Lu Linxuan, who was also watching the two, upstairs as if fleeing.

"Brother Shen, who are those two people? Why did they pick up that guy surnamed Zhang as soon as they came in? Are they his friends?"

As soon as he reached the second floor, Lu Linxuan asked curiously.

"No, it's his luck with women?" Shen Ye said, patting his chest. The real-life version of the stunning beauty was even more frightening than the anime version.

"Romantic luck? Those two are women?" Lu Linxuan's eyes widened immediately.

Shen Ye retorted, "Didn't you notice?"

Well, actually, if he didn't know the plot, he wouldn't have been able to figure it out himself.

"I didn't see that coming." Lu Linxuan shook his head honestly, then couldn't help but complain, "Brother Shen, this is the first time I've ever seen a woman with a beard and such long body hair."

"Me too," Shen Ye sighed. He planned to think about all the women in his family tonight to cleanse his wounded heart.

Then, both of them fell silent.

……

(Lu Linxuan)

(I won't post pictures of her stunning beauty.)

Chapter 400! A Unique Flavor

……

"Brother Shen, those two women shouldn't be targeting my senior brother, right?" After a moment of silence, Lu Linxuan couldn't help but ask.

She didn't care what others did to Zhang Zifan, but her senior brother was her family, and she still cared about him a lot.

"Probably not, after all, those two women didn't even glance at your senior brother when they came in." Shen Ye comforted her, but in his heart he muttered to himself, "Don't worry, your senior brother has his own romantic luck."

But Lu Linxuan naturally couldn't hear Shen Ye's thoughts. She patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Then I'm relieved."

As they spoke, the two continued walking towards the room they had booked.

The two rooms were next to each other, which was naturally at Lu Linxuan's instruction. When they reached the door, Lu Linxuan whispered to him, "Brother Shen, could we meet tonight?"

“Yesterday was a special case. You’ll sleep alone tonight.” Shen Ye tapped Lu Linxuan’s forehead with his finger. “We’ll talk about it when you’re a little older.”

With that, he went into his room and closed the door behind him.

His relationship with Lu Linxuan had progressed rapidly in the past two days, and he could even win her over with ease. However, considering that Ji Ruxue might appear at any time, he still had to be cautious to avoid any unnecessary drama. At least, he needed enough time to appease the other one before taking advantage of one of them.

After seeing him close the door, Lu Linxuan angrily returned to his room, muttering to himself, "Where am I young? I'm sixteen already. My mother gave birth to me at that age... Wait, does Brother Shen mean I'm not young?"

So she looked down at her chest, the prominent curves of which resembled budding flowers. For her age, it was actually quite large. But then she thought of Ji Ruxue. As a woman herself, she had noticed the difference between Ji Ruxue and herself at first glance. Ji Ruxue's high, prominent breasts were something she could never catch up to in a short time.

"Damn it, how am I supposed to win! Sister Xue'er is so big, how am I ever going to catch up..."

Lu Linxuan was somewhat deflated. She placed her sword on the bedside table, threw herself onto the bed, and covered her head with the blanket.

Then, a voice muttering to itself came from under the covers: "I really want to grow up..."

……

The night passed quickly.

The next day, Lu Linxuan got up early. Just like the day before, she went downstairs to ask the waiter for a basin of warm water, then knocked on Shen Ye's door and washed up with him.

After washing up, the two went out to look for Li Xingyun, but just then they saw Li Xingyun yawning as he came out of the room.
