Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

As the two silently stared at each other, Chi Meng and the others ran over. Seeing that Xian Shen's mouth was bulging, Chi Meng's mouth also bulged, but that was because she was angry.

"Big Brother, why didn't you stop her?"

At this moment, she realized that the person who had stolen her meat was a woman.

"It's just a piece of meat, it's going to end up in her stomach anyway, so let her eat it."

Shen Ye naturally couldn't tell Chi Meng, "This is your mother. She ate a piece of your flesh, so consider it your way of showing her respect." Therefore, he could only advise Chi Meng to be more magnanimous.

Of course, the main reason is that the fresh ginseng is Chi Meng's mother; if it were anyone else, he wouldn't have given her a pleasant look either.

While the two were talking, Xiancan had already swallowed the meat in her mouth. At this moment, she was half-squatting on the ground, still looking at Shen Ye, showing no sign of wanting to run away.

However, it wasn't that she didn't want to run, but that she knew she couldn't escape. After their brief exchange, she already knew that she was no match for the man in front of her. Moreover, from what the man said, she understood that he didn't have any malicious intent; on the contrary... he was even somewhat on her side.

She thought to herself, somewhat puzzled.

At this moment, Lu Linxuan, who had already looked her up and down several times, spoke up.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

Lu Linxuan didn't ask her silly question like why she stole their food. Anyone with eyes could see that this woman was living a very difficult life.

Fresh Ginseng glanced at her and asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Her accent was very heavy, similar to Chi Meng's.

Chi Meng, who had finally managed to calm down after hearing Shen Ye's words, glared at her with displeasure: "Just say what I tell you to say, stop with all the nonsense."

"With such a bad temper, be careful your man doesn't leave you." Xian Shen glanced at Shen Ye and said with a sly laugh.

"None of your business." Chi Meng glared at her fiercely. "I'll beat you up if you're not careful."

Fresh Ginseng said nonchalantly, "Alright, little kid, hurry up and do it. But before you hit me, make him let me go, otherwise I won't dare to fight back."

As she spoke, she pointed at Shen Ye.

Chi Meng immediately said to Shen Ye, "Big brother, let her go, I want to teach her a lesson."

Shen Ye: "..."

Speaking of which, a daughter beating her mother would surely be struck by lightning...

Shen Ye silently looked up at the sky; the clouds seemed very thick!

……

Chapter 464! The Exiled

……

The wood crackled and popped as it burned in the flames. Shen Ye poked at it a few times with a forked branch, tossed in a few pieces of wood, and then looked at the fresh ginseng squatting by the fire, chewing on half a pancake.

This half-pancake was taken from Shi Yao. Although mature women have amazing figures, they also have amazingly small appetites; she couldn't possibly finish a pancake.

"Young master, why are you being so polite to this woman?"

Although she couldn't finish it all herself, she would usually share the leftovers with Chi Meng and her older sister. However, seeing Shen Ye politely give the cake to a strange woman, who was also dirty and looked somewhat crazy, Shi Yao was puzzled.

“That’s right, she even stole my meat,” Chi Meng chimed in.

Even though Shen Ye tried his best to persuade her, she didn't end up fighting with Xian Shen, but she still didn't give her a kind look and harbored deep resentment.

"Because she's your mother!"

Of course, Shen Ye thought this to himself, but said aloud, "It's mainly because I feel sorry for her. She's a woman, all alone in this forbidden Miao territory. It's very miserable. Look, she treats the flatbread that we're tired of eating as a delicacy."

Suddenly, everyone felt that what he said made some sense. After all, every time Xian Shen ate a bite of the pancake, he would show an extremely satisfied expression on his face. He would chew the pancake in his mouth for a long time before swallowing it, as if he were savoring a delicacy.

"Let's just say she's pitiful, but she shouldn't have stolen my meat," Chi Meng muttered. She would remember being robbed of her food for the rest of her life.

After saying that, she glared fiercely at the ginseng, making a move to snatch the cake from her hand.

But Fresh Ginseng reacted surprisingly quickly, immediately stuffing the remaining palm-sized piece of cake into her mouth, and then proudly raised her chin at Chi Meng, which angered Chi Meng so much that she bared her teeth and claws and shouted that she wanted to fight her one-on-one.

However, flatbread is obviously not as easy to swallow as beef. Fresh Ginseng choked because she ate it too quickly. She pounded her chest hard, but had no intention of spitting it out.

Seeing that the ginseng was choking, Chi Meng was overjoyed. If there weren't so many people watching, she would have clapped and cheered.

Girl, you'll really get struck by lightning if you keep doing that...

Late at night, he pressed Chi Meng back to her original spot, then glanced at Xuan Jingtian. The beautiful maidservant understood and tossed a leather water bag to Xian Shen.

"Thank you, little one..."

After swallowing all the food in her mouth with water, Xian Shen thanked him in a rare grateful tone, even though she hadn't said a word when Shen Ye gave her the cake.

"Don't call me little kid, I'm not that much younger than you," Shen Ye corrected.

He already looked young, but after acquiring the system, his appearance seemed to have solidified. Several years had passed across several worlds, and his appearance hadn't changed at all; he still looked like he was in his early twenties, but in reality, he was almost thirty.

Of course, if we only consider his actual age, he's not even twenty-five yet, but that's not enough for Fresh Ginseng to call him a little kid.

Fresh Ginseng was taken aback by his words and let out an "uh," but after thinking for a moment, she changed her tune: "Little brother, thank you..."

"Then you can just call me Little Baby..." Shen Ye said expressionlessly.

Fresh Ginseng laughed immediately, but she didn't change her words: "Little brother, what are you here in Dead Creek Forest for?"

“We want to go to the Twelve Caves,” Shen Ye said directly.

Upon hearing this, Xian Shen's expression changed, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Where did you hear about the Twelve Caves?"

Shen Yechao, sitting next to his elder sister and playing with a bone flute, gestured to Hou Qing and said, "He said it."

So Xiancan turned to look at Hou Qing, and then she frowned slightly: "So it was you. No wonder you looked familiar. I spotted you a few years ago when you passed through Dead Creek Forest."

But after saying that, she looked at Shen Ye again: "Why are you going to the Twelve Caves?"

"Help! My brother-in-law has been afflicted by the Twin Poison, and I want to go to the Twelve Caves to find someone to help him get rid of it."

Fresh Ginseng was taken aback: "Twin miasma? You encountered Chi Li?"

Shen Ye nodded: "I've fought him before, but he was no match for me. However, he poisoned my brother-in-law with Twin Poison, so I couldn't kill him."

"To you, he is indeed easily defeated. No wonder he resorted to such witchcraft." Xiancan nodded with lingering fear. In her eyes, Shen Ye's strength was almost unfathomable. When they fought just now, she felt that it would take at least four or five of her to barely put up a fight.

However, thinking of the reclusive ancient beings of the Twelve Caves, she kindly reminded them: "Although there are indeed people in the Twelve Caves who can cure the Twin Miasma, they may not be willing to help."

“It doesn’t matter if they refuse, I have plenty of ways to persuade them.” Shen Ye said confidently. Although Li Xingyun was not there, he was confident that he could “persuade” the people of the Twelve Caves. It was simple: he planned to persuade them in the same way that Li Chunfeng had persuaded them.

Xian Shen was a smart woman, and she naturally understood the meaning behind Shen Ye's words. Even though she didn't have a good attitude towards the old folks in the Twelve Caves, a trace of worry still flashed in her eyes.

She immediately fell silent and lowered her head in deep thought.

Seeing the fresh ginseng lost in thought, Shen Ye didn't disturb him. He then picked up a piece of wood and threw it into the fire to make it burn brighter.

Just then, the older sister suddenly stretched and crawled to Shi Yao's side, then looked at Shen Ye with pleading eyes: "I'm sleepy."

Shen Ye knew what she wanted to do. After thinking for a moment, he nodded, and then his older sister rested her head on Shi Yao's lap and closed her eyes.

“Little brother, it’s windy in Dead Creek Forest at night. Why don’t you come and rest at my place?” At this moment, Fresh Ginseng suddenly raised his head and said to Shen Ye.

Chi Meng looked at her: "Where do you live? Looking at you, all dirty, you still have a place to live?"

“Of course there are. The people of Twelve Caves used to prepare them specifically for exiled people like me.” Xiancan stood up from the ground, stretched, and continued, “Although the conditions aren’t great, at least people can live there. Do you want to go?” The last sentence was addressed to Shen Ye.

"Thank you very much then." Shen Ye stood up and clasped his hands in thanks to her.

Fresh Ginseng waved his hand casually: "Little brother, you're too kind. You treat me to food, so I'll invite you to my house to rest. It's very fair."

With that, she turned and walked toward her residence.

Shen Ye walked to Shi Yao's side, picked up his sister who had instantly fallen asleep, and called for everyone to follow.

Although Chi Meng was unwilling, everyone else was going, so she couldn't go against the grain. Besides, seeing how quickly Shen Ye and that woman had become friends, she was afraid he would be angry, so she could only pout and follow behind Xian Shen.

Chapter 465! Family

……

The place where the ginseng lived was not far away, and the group arrived after walking for a short while.

It was a huge stone building, and judging from its shape, it must have been built some time ago. But because it was made of stone, the years had left almost no trace on it, except that it was covered with various climbing plants.

"It's spectacular!"

Looking at the building in front of her, Lu Linxuan sighed, then looked at Xian Shen and asked, "Big sister, you live here?"

“Yes, I’ve lived here for over ten years. The conditions here are a bit poor, but at least it provides shelter from the wind and rain. Also, don’t call me ‘Big Sister,’ it makes me sound old. I have a name, Xian Shen.” Xian Shen walked up the stone steps to the entrance, turned around, and said to everyone.

Then, she smiled and looked at Shen Ye, saying, "Of course, little brother, you can call me sister directly."

Shen Ye glanced expressionlessly at the woman who was taking advantage of him, then walked straight past her with his sister on his back, ignoring her completely.

Fresh Ginseng's smile immediately vanished.
