Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

The Miao people were talking very loudly; you could hear them clearly even without consciously using your internal energy.

At this moment, Lu Linxuan asked Chi Meng curiously, "Sister Chi Meng, what is Gui City? Also, do we need to use a poison-avoiding bead to enter the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave?"

Chi Meng had just finished eating a pancake when she wiped her mouth without any regard for her image. She then picked up another pancake that was still hot from the oven, tossed it between her left and right hands a few times, took a bite, and then answered Lu Linxuan's question: "Gui City is where things are bought and sold in Miao territory. However, it's different from the usual market. Most of the things sold are very precious, like the poison-avoiding beads they just mentioned. After all, the Ten Thousand Poison Cave is surrounded by a layer of highly poisonous miasma, and without poison-avoiding beads or advanced insect and gu techniques, it's impossible to get in."

"So, does that mean we need to go to Gui City first to buy poison-avoiding beads?" Miao Chengtian asked.

Chi Meng nodded: "Of course. Although I know the art of insect poison, I can only ensure that I am not affected by the poisonous miasma. As for you, you can only wear poison-avoiding beads... Of course, with your martial arts skills, you probably don't need to."

Faced with Chi Meng's extraordinary confidence in his abilities, Shen Ye shook his head: "I am grateful for Meng'er's high regard, but if possible, I would still prefer to wear the poison-avoiding bead, just to be on the safe side."

……

Chapter 451! Because, he's handsome!

……

No matter how strong Shen Ye is, he is still human. Moreover, the poisons in the world of Bad Guys are incredibly diverse and are often used in battles against opponents of higher levels, with surprisingly good results. Just like in the original series, when Li Xingyun fought against Hei Bai Wuchang for the first time, he was using a Lesser Heavenly Realm to fight against a Middle Star Realm opponent. It was clearly a crushing victory, but because Hei Bai Wuchang was skilled in using poison, Li Xingyun almost suffered a setback and ended up losing his junior sister as well.

Therefore, Shen Ye was quite wary of the poisons in the Bad Guys world.

However, compared to poison, he was more wary of the insect-based Gu techniques of this world, since the insect-based Gu techniques of Miao territory were one of the most mysterious and powerful abilities in the entire anime.

No, or rather, there is no other.

The art of insect worms not only allows people to fight beyond their level, but also to resurrect the dead. Some worms can even grant people "immortality," comparable to the Plaka parasite in Resident Evil.

Just like his brother-in-law Li Maozhen, whom he had never met, even though his neck was snapped by the Red Earth Drought Demon, one of the Four Great Corpse Ancestors, and he lost his vital signs, he could automatically recover by relying on the Meteorite Gu, which is simply outrageous.

"However, I wonder if I'll be able to meet him on this trip to Miao territory?" Shen Ye pondered to himself, thinking of his brother-in-law.

"Miss Chi Meng, do you know the art of controlling Gu poison?"

Just as Shen Ye was deep in thought, Hou Qing suddenly asked about Chi Meng.

"Of course I can, and I'm really good at it!" Chi Meng patted her chest confidently, then asked in confusion, "Why are you asking this?"

Hou Qing stood up abruptly, bowed to her and clasped his hands in greeting: "Please, Miss Chi Meng, be my master and teach me the art of controlling Gu with music."

"what?"

Chi Meng was stunned for a moment, and everyone around her, except for Shen Ye, turned to look at Hou Qing.

Chi Meng asked in confusion, "I heard from Sister Shi Yao that you are one of the Four Great Corpse Ancestors. You must be very powerful. If you are already so powerful, why do you still need to learn the art of controlling Gu with music?"

"Didn't Brother Shen just say that?" Hou Qing glanced at Shen Ye and continued, "Because, he's handsome!"

"Huh?" Chi Meng was stunned again, while the girls next to her all covered their mouths and laughed.

"Therefore, I humbly request that Miss Chi Meng accept me as her disciple." Hou Qing bowed even lower.

After a long pause, Chi Meng blushed and waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, we Miao people have a rule that unmarried people cannot take on apprentices."

"But aren't you Brother Shen's woman?" Hou Qing asked in confusion.

"I am Big Brother's woman, but only his youngest, and we are not officially married yet," Chi Meng said softly.

Hou Qing then turned to face Shen Ye and clasped his hands in greeting again: "Brother Shen, please marry Miss Chi Meng immediately."

But before Shen Ye could speak, Lu Linxuan and the other girls objected simultaneously.

"No."

"None of us who arrived first have married Brother Shen yet, so why should she, who came later, be allowed to?"

"My empress is still eagerly waiting. Even if they get married, the son-in-law has to marry my empress first before he can marry her."

“Miss Chi Meng is still young, young master, you should not listen to him. Besides, there is no such thing as marrying the younger one first.”

Hearing their reasons for objecting, Hou Qing was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it, it seemed to make sense, so he had no choice but to give up and sat down with a depressed look on his face.

Shen Ye had a good impression of the four Corpse Ancestors. Seeing Hou Qing's depressed look, he smiled and said to Chi Meng, "Since Brother Hou is so eager to learn, then you should take him as your disciple. Anyway... I'll marry you sooner or later."

Upon hearing this, Hou Qing stood up again, first bowing gratefully to Shen Ye, then looking at Chi Meng with anticipation in his eyes.

"Alright then, since Big Brother has said so, I'll accept you." Since her own man had spoken, Chi Meng naturally couldn't object, and immediately nodded.

Seeing that Chi Meng agreed, Hou Qing bowed again and clasped his hands in greeting: "Master, please accept my bow."

"No need to be so polite." Chi Meng waved her hand casually, then asked, "Do you know music? To learn music and control Gu, you must first understand music."

"No, so please teach me, Master."

"Uh……"

……

It was the next day in a blink of an eye.

After the rain, the sky clears up.

As soon as it was light, Shen Ye opened his eyes, glanced at Lu Linxuan curled up in his arms, and carefully sat up. However, although he moved very gently, Shi Yao, who was lying behind him, still noticed. She immediately opened her eyes, hugged him from behind, pressed her head against his back, and asked in a lazy tone.

"Young master, won't you sleep a little longer?"

Shen Ye shook his head: "I'm not going to sleep, I can't sleep."

Shi Yao knew perfectly well why he couldn't sleep. It was because there was a continuous, intermittent flute melody coming from outside the temple. It was jarring and unpleasant to hear, but fortunately it was quite far away and could not be heard unless you listened carefully. Otherwise, everyone inside the temple would have been woken up.

"I suddenly regret letting Chi Meng take him as her apprentice. He's really too diligent." Shen Ye broke free from Shi Yao's hands, turned around and hugged her back, burying his head in her soft chest, and said in a muffled voice.

Shi Yao glanced at the place where the Miao people had been yesterday. Seeing that it was empty, she became much bolder. She gently patted Shen Ye's back with one hand and gently pressed Shen Ye's head with the other, as if trying to make him bury his head deeper.

After hugging for a while, Shen Ye felt that his morning grumpiness had subsided, so he let go of Shi Yao and got up to walk out of the temple.

Outside the temple, Miao Chengtian and Xuan Jingtian were busy preparing the things he needed for washing up. When he came out, Miao Chengtian came over to greet him.

"Young master, please wash up."

"Ok!"

Shen Ye nodded and began to wash up with Miao Chengtian's help, while Xuan Jingtian went to prepare breakfast.

As Shen Ye was rinsing his mouth and brushing his teeth, the flute music stopped, and soon after, he heard footsteps.

"Did you sleep well last night, Brother Shen?"

"What do you think?" Shen Ye spat out the mouthwash in his mouth, looked at Hou Qing who was holding a red umbrella with annoyance, and pointed to his ear, "I heard you playing the flute first thing this morning."

Hou Qing's face flashed with embarrassment. He hadn't expected that Shen Ye would hear him even though he had run so far. While guessing Shen Ye's strength, he bowed apologetically and said, "I'm really sorry to have disturbed Brother Shen's sweet dream."

After saying this, he bowed again and clasped his hands in greeting.

Seeing the sincerity of the dignified Corpse Ancestor, Shen Ye didn't know what to say, so he casually waved his hand and then asked, "I wonder how Brother Hou's studies are going?"

"It's alright, at least it can make a sound." Hearing Shen Ye ask about this, Hou Qing sighed: "This method of controlling Gu with music is indeed difficult to learn."

"It's hard to learn, and few people know how to do it. Otherwise, if everyone knew it, how would you show off?" Shen Ye said after wiping his face with the towel Miao Chengtian handed him.

"That makes sense." Hou Qing nodded immediately upon hearing this.

……

(My tooth hurt so much that my face was swollen, so it took me a while to finish this chapter. It's still a bit watery. I'll take some medicine tonight and organize my thoughts. Sorry.)

Chapter 452! Ying Gou

……

After a quick breakfast, the group set off again.

However, this time the coachman was changed to Hou Qing. After all, he is now Chi Meng's apprentice, and Shen Ye is Chi Meng's man, so he can be considered half a grandmaster. Therefore, this kind of work is naturally done by his apprentice.

Shen Ye was happy to relax. After handing the riding whip to Hou Qing, he went straight into the carriage, put his arm around Shi Yao, and went back to sleep.

Of all the women around him, Shi Yao had the best figure and was the most comfortable to hold. That's why he liked to sleep with Shi Yao in his arms the most. Even if they didn't do anything, just holding her made him feel at ease.

So he fell asleep very quickly.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but when he woke up, the carriage was moving very slowly, and he could hear a lot of noise.

Clearly, the carriage had entered Wusha Village.

With all this noise, Shen Ye naturally couldn't possibly sleep. He released Shi Yao, whom he had been using as a pillow, got up, and lifted the carriage curtain to look outside.

There were many people outside, and it was very lively. Many people dressed in Miao costumes carried bamboo baskets and passed by the horse-drawn carriages. There were also many people setting up stalls by the roadside. Occasionally, you could see a few merchants dressed in Han costumes hawking their wares, selling some goods that were rarely seen in Miao areas.

"It's so lively here!" After watching for a while, Shen Ye lowered the curtains and said with a touch of emotion.

When I watched the Bad Guys anime before, it didn't introduce the Miao villages. Now it seems that they are almost no different from towns in the Central Plains.

"I just don't know if there are any inns around here." Having been living a life of hardship and sleeping outdoors for some time, Shen Ye hadn't had a proper meal or slept on a soft bed in a long time. Even though he wasn't picky, he couldn't help but miss it a little.

"I think so." Chi Meng answered him. Although the girl was the Holy Maiden of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, she rarely went out. Even when she did go out, she would only go to some large villages. As for Wusha Village, she had obviously never heard of it before. After all, Miao territory was known as the Ten Thousand Mountains, and there were countless villages. She couldn't possibly know them all, so her answer was very uncertain.

Xuan Jingtian suddenly interjected, "It doesn't matter if there's no inn, as long as we can buy food. Our rations are almost gone."

Chi Meng ate all the staple food they brought with them last night. This morning, everyone drank some meat soup, but the problem is that there isn't much cured meat left. It can only last for a day or two at most.

Xuan Jingtian's words made Chi Meng a little embarrassed. She scratched her head and was about to speak when the carriage stopped.
