Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

"Nine Netherworld Profound Heaven Divine Art?"

Upon seeing the words on the two books, Hou Qing's pupils constricted sharply. Then, as if realizing something, he asked in confusion, "Did you kill Zhu Yougui and Zhu Youwen?"

"Zhu Yougui was killed by Zhu Youwen, but I killed Zhu Youwen," Shen Ye said without any concealment.

Then he added, "But I'm a little curious, who exactly sent you to Miao territory?"

"How did you know someone sent me?" Hou Qing was surprised again.

Shen Ye smiled calmly again: "Just a guess."

"Brother Shen's guess is quite accurate." Hou Qing scrutinized Shen Ye's expression and gaze, and after a long while, he nodded. "Indeed, someone sent me."

"So who exactly is it?" Shen Ye asked curiously.

Hou Qing pondered for a moment before saying, "The Bad Commander."

"Who?" This time it was Shen Ye and the others who were stunned. "The Bad Commander?"

“Yes, the Bad Commander.” Hou Qing was lost in memories when he said, “Half a month ago, I met the Bad Commander in Luoyang. He told me that there was someone in Miao territory who could help my sister restore her original body and personality.”

"Did he tell you who it was?" Shen Ye continued to ask curiously.

“No.” Hou Qing shook his head, then said in a strange tone, “He just said that if my sister can meet a man who can make her heart flutter, that man can help my sister return to normal.”

"puff!"

Shen Ye almost spat out the mouthful of wine he had just taken a sip of, but luckily he saw Shi Yao sitting next to him and forced himself to swallow it down. However, this caused him to cough repeatedly. After a long while, he recovered and asked with a strange expression, "You actually believe that?"

Ren Yinggou wasn't sick; she just had a problem with her cultivation. Like the Underworld Emperor Zhu Yougui, she went into a state of demonic possession, which caused her body to shrink and develop a second personality, more like a mental illness. If finding a man who could make her heart flutter could cure her mental illness and restore her body size, then what would be the point of having psychiatrists in later generations?

Moreover, according to Shen Ye's idea, putting aside the schizophrenia, she should have sought Jiang Chen to help her recover her body. After all, Jiang Chen contributed the most to creating the Nine Nether Profound Heaven Divine Art, and he is also a top-notch surgeon. If all else fails, she could just steal the bodies of some recently deceased girls to piece together her body. Although it is immoral, it is still a solution.

The other women around Hou Qing also looked at him with strange expressions, but Ying Gou ordered a second bowl of rice. She seemed not to understand what Shen Ye and Hou Qing were talking about.

"At first I didn't believe it, but I still came to Miao territory to try. After all, I've tried to find someone to help my sister with her health problems, including Jiang Chen, but Jiang Chen is elusive and I haven't been able to find her. So I had no choice but to try this as a last resort." Hou Qing glanced at his sister and continued, "As for why I believe the Bad Commander's words, I have to talk about what happened yesterday."

"What happened yesterday? What happened?" Shen Ye asked curiously.

"When I set off, the Bad Commander told me that on my way to the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave, I would meet a girl who could control poisons with music. He also said that if I asked her, she would definitely not agree, but if I asked her husband, he would definitely agree. As it turned out, I met you all, and what he said really came true." Hou Qing said, with a longing expression on his face: "Being able to predict the future is truly admirable. I wonder where I can learn this skill."

Shen Ye was completely bewildered after hearing what Hou Qing said, and at the same time felt that something was wrong.

He couldn't understand how the Bad Commander had predicted that he would agree to let Chi Meng teach Hou Qing the art of controlling Gu poison. After all, he wasn't from this world, and in this world there was no "future." Logically speaking, his future should be a blur.

Take, for example, Yakoll, whose true identity he already knows. This android girl has the ability to travel through countless worlds and cross the river of time. She can even modify what happens at a certain point in time through special means, adding or erasing a specific event. But even with such terrifying abilities, the android girl doesn't know where he came from, nor can she see his future. As for Yuan Tiangang, a first-order mortal, although he can live forever, how does he know that?

“No, he definitely didn’t get it from divination… Could it be…” Shen Ye’s heart skipped a beat, and a terrifying thought popped into his head.

“Yuan Tiangang certainly can’t predict my future, but he can control it. Everything I’m doing now is within his expectations, or rather, within his control.”

Suddenly, he remembered what Chi Meng had once said.

Immediately, he turned to Chi Meng and asked, "Meng'er, where did you hear from that your father and the Witch King were once subordinates of the Bad Commander?"

Chi Meng blinked, thought for a moment, and said, "A mysterious person."

"What does it look like?" Shen Ye pressed.

Chi Meng shook her head: "That day was at night. I was resting in my room when that person was outside. I don't know what he looked like, but his voice sounded very deep."

"It really was him; he arranged all of this," Shen Ye suddenly realized.

The people he met along the way were not coincidences at all, but were deliberately arranged for him by Yuan Tiangang.

But what was his purpose in doing this?

He fell into deep thought.

Seeing Shen Ye suddenly lost in thought with his brows furrowed, none of the people around him spoke to disturb him.

After a long while, Shen Ye slowly relaxed his brows, as if he had gained some insight.

"You old codger, I think I know what you're up to. Even though it'll all end up benefiting Old Li, it doesn't seem like a bad thing for me. But how are you going to convince Old Li then? Heh..."

Shen Ye's lips curled slightly, and as he thought this, he let out a few cold laughs. Then, his expression turned serious, and he looked at Hou Qing, cupping his fists in greeting:

"Brother Hou, please forgive me if I neglect you in any way in the future."

Hou Qing was taken aback, not understanding what Shen Ye meant. Just as she was about to ask for clarification, she saw the other party suddenly pick up a piece of food with his chopsticks and put it into his sister's bowl.

"Little sister, eat more so you can grow taller."

"You little brat, you should call me 'elder sister,' I'm not some little sister." Ying glanced at Shen Ye, a flash of bloodlust appearing in her dark eyes, but it only flickered and quickly disappeared.

Hou Qing looked at his sister thoughtfully. He had seen the bloodshot light in her eyes and knew that whenever the bloodshot light appeared in her eyes, it meant that his sister's main personality had emerged.

Touching his bruised eye socket, he suddenly had a strange feeling that perhaps his sister could really recover.

Thinking of this, his gaze towards Shen Ye changed, and he began to understand what Shen Ye had just said.

However, he couldn't understand what he had just said that made Shen Ye think of something, and then cause such a big change in his attitude.

"Could it be that the person the Bad Commander was talking about is him?"

Suddenly, a vague realization flashed through Hou Qing's mind.

Thinking of this, Hou Qing looked at Shen Ye with even more fervor. If he didn't feel it was inappropriate, he would have liked to put a piece of food on Shen Ye's plate as a sign of affection.

At this moment, Shen Ye glanced at Ying Gou, then turned to the maid beside him and said, "Shi Yao, after we finish eating, go and get a room for... Sister, just next to Brother Hou."

"Yes, son."

"Miaochengtian, Xuanjingtian, go out and buy another carriage later. There are more people now, and one carriage is not enough. Also, remember to prepare more food."

Seeing that Ying Gou had already started ordering her third bowl of rice in a short time, Shen Ye gave another order.

Miao Xuan and the other two women nodded and then quickened their pace of eating.

(Okay, just one chapter today. I'll make up the missing one tomorrow, and it'll be in this chapter... Also, I'll never believe that drinking alcohol can cure toothache again...)

Chapter 454! Taking Charge

(The two thousand words I owed yesterday have been completed)

……

Legend has it that there are 100,000 Miao villages in the Miao region, and 100,000 Miao mountains. Although this legend is exaggerated, after Shen Ye and his group left Wusha Village, they encountered a Miao village every few dozen miles, which almost formed a continuous area.

They had penetrated deep into the Miao region and arrived at the area where the Miao people were most concentrated.

This also proves that they are not far from the Cave of Ten Thousand Poisons.

On the road, two carriages traveled one after the other along the mountain road. The road was difficult to travel, so the speed was very slow, and the rugged mountain road made the passengers very uncomfortable, at least for Ying Gou.

Although her primary personality was an unparalleled master above the Great Heavenly Realm, even stronger than the Ghost King Zhu Youwen, she was now in the older sister's personality. With the mindset of a little girl, her body seemed to have become as fragile as a young girl's. The rugged mountain road caused her to vomit many times along the way. In any case, she spent most of the journey lying in Shi Yao's arms with a pale face.

This is not a good thing for Shen Ye. At least he has one less big pillow every night. Compared to Shi Yao, neither Lu Linxuan nor Miao Xuan are as comfortable to hug as Shi Yao. Even though he tries to reason with Ying Gou every night, she is still a young girl and can't listen to reason at all. No matter what he says, the girl will never give her a place.

He didn't know if the girl was doing it on purpose or not, but whenever he tried to speak, she would look at him with innocent eyes, which made him afraid to speak at all, for fear that if he opened his mouth, she would think he was a pervert.

This situation lasted for a long time, for several days, until they arrived at a place called Qianzhai.

Compared to Wusha Village, Qianshan Village was pitifully small, just a small village with a population of only a little over a thousand people. Moreover, on the first day that Shen Ye and his group arrived, the villagers of Qianshan Village recognized Chi Meng. As soon as they got off the carriage, several villagers knelt down and bowed to Chi Meng.

Chi Meng was somewhat alarmed. After all, Qianshan Village was a Miao village on the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, and most people knew her. However, when she left Qianshan Village last time, the villagers were not so polite to her.

"Please, Your Highness, grant us your request."

The chieftain of Qianshan Village arrived shortly after and kowtowed vigorously to Chi Meng, saying something that left Chi Meng somewhat at a loss.

"The chieftain of Jiuli Village has pledged allegiance to the Witch King."

This was the second sentence spoken by the chief of Qianshan Village.

"Please, Your Highness, uphold justice."

This was the third sentence spoken by the chieftain of Qianshan Village.

Then, Chi Meng learned that during the time she was away from Miao territory, the Witch King had already begun to target the Miao villages near the Ten Thousand Poison Cave.

……

According to the original plot, Chi Meng returned to Miao territory more than half a year later. However, by then, most of the Miao villages surrounding the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave had already submitted to the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave. She was unaware of this at the time, which is why she was ambushed by the chief of Jiuli Village when she went there.

Perhaps at that time, the chieftain of Qianshan Village also pledged allegiance to the Witch King.

But things are different now. She returned in time, and even though many Miao villages have submitted to the Witch King, her status as the Holy Maiden of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave still earns her the trust of many Miao villages.

At least, that's how it is now.

After seeing off the chieftain of Qianshan Village, the group gathered in the stilted house that had been specially arranged for her.

"I'm going to Jiuli Village."

Chi Meng's tone was resolute, more resolute than ever before.

"I want to know if Jiuli Village really betrayed my father."

In Chi Meng's heart, most of the Miao villagers believed in her father, the Gu King of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave. When she left Miao territory for the Central Plains, the chieftain of Jiuli Village pledged his loyalty to her.

"What if he really betrayed your father?"
