Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

Just then, Chi Meng passed by her and, seeing her like this, mocked, "Big sister, don't try to act cute at your age, it doesn't suit you."

Fresh Ginseng looked up at her and said irritably, "I was much cuter than you when I was young, at least in terms of personality. Also, young lady, you have a sharp tongue. Watch your words, or you might get struck by lightning."

"You're not my mother, what's wrong with saying a few words to you?" Chi Meng snorted and walked away with her head held high.

Listening to the conversation between the mother and daughter behind him, Shen Ye was speechless. Since she had not met Chi Meng's father, Chi Meng naturally did not obtain a token that could prove her identity. As a result, the mother and daughter, who should have been reunited, actually started to argue with each other because of their different personalities.

However, it seems that at Chi Meng's age, it's the perfect time for her to have conflicts with her family, right?

With that thought in mind, Shen Ye had already entered the building.

Inside the stone temple-like building, there was a large tree growing, and on one of the tree's branches hung a simple swing made of vines and wood. Clearly, although Xiancan had a child, she still retained some girlish feelings.

However, this seems somewhat normal, since the fresh ginseng was exiled not long after giving birth and has not interacted with outsiders for so many years, so it is indeed impossible for her temperament to change much.

After silently scanning the interior of the stone temple, Shen Ye found a relatively flat bluestone and carefully placed his sister on it. Then, he took a blanket from the large backpack that his sister, who was being carried by Miao Chengtian, and gently covered her with it.

Hou Qing, who came in later, saw this scene and immediately smiled.

However, he didn't say anything. After Shen Ye left his older sister's side, he walked over and sat down next to her. He looked at his older sister's peaceful face as she slept, and then seemed to be deep in thought.

……

As soon as Xiancan entered, she squatted down under the big tree inside the building, holding a branch in her hand and drawing on the ground. Noticing Shen Ye approaching, she looked up and asked curiously, "Is that your daughter?"

"No." Shen Ye glanced at her, shook his head, and thought to himself, how old am I? How could I possibly have a daughter that big? Besides, my older sister just looks like a child. She's actually much older than me; she could probably be my mother.

Xian Shen let out an "oh," as if she had thought of something. Her gaze fell on Chi Meng, who was sitting on the swing, and she said with some sadness, "Actually, I have a daughter. If I count her age, she should be fifteen years old this year, about the same age as her." She pointed at Chi Meng.

Beside Shen Ye, Lu Linxuan, Shi Yao, and Miao Xuan all looked at Chi Meng. Then Lu Linxuan asked, "Where is your daughter now?"

“I don’t know. Not long after I gave birth to her, I was exiled here,” Xiancan said, drawing on the ground with a twig.

By the light of the campfire that Xuan Jingtian had just lit, the group could clearly see that she had drawn a baby.

Xiancan looked at the baby drawn with simple lines on the ground, sighed, then wiped it away with his hand and continued, "I don't know what my daughter looks like now, I only remember what she looked like as a baby. Well, now that she's grown up, maybe she's as beautiful as me... Don't believe me, I really am very beautiful."

Looking at the women who, apart from Shen Ye, had doubtful expressions, Xiancan stood up and puffed out her chest: "Besides, I have a great figure too, with all the right curves, definitely no worse than hers."

As she finished speaking, she looked at Shi Yao.

Seeing her looking at her and comparing herself to him, Shi Yao curled her lips in disdain. She didn't straighten her chest, but just straightened her waist slightly. Instantly, her imposing figure overwhelmed all the women around her. Xian Shen also silently squatted back down and continued to draw on the ground with a twig.

Women...

Looking at the women who had inexplicably started comparing themselves to each other, Shen Ye shook his head helplessly.

However, the fact that Xiancan mentioned her daughter earlier made Shen Ye think about whether he should guide her to recognize Chi Meng.

After pondering for a while, he prepared to speak, but when the words reached his lips, he didn't know what to say.

"Little brother, is there anything you want to say to your older sister?"

Fresh Ginseng noticed Shen Ye's hesitant expression.

Shen Ye's face immediately darkened. He had been hesitant to speak because he didn't know what to call her, and now that he heard Xian Can call him "little brother," he said in a cold voice, "Xian Can, continue talking about your daughter. For example, what is your daughter's name, and who is your husband?"

But Fresh Ginseng said, "What's there to say? Anyway, I can't get out. And little brother, call me sister."

Shen Ye naturally omitted the latter half of her sentence, and simply asked curiously, "Why?"

"Because your older sister is older than you."

“That’s not what I’m asking.” Shen Ye’s face darkened again. “I’m asking why you’re not going to continue talking about your family.”

“I told you, there’s nothing to say.” Xiancan sat cross-legged on the ground without any regard for appearances, with his arms resting lightly on his knees. “What’s there to say? I’ve stayed in this godforsaken place for them for over ten years, and he hasn’t come to see me all these years. Do you think he doesn’t know where I am? Besides, even if he doesn’t come, he can send his daughter.”

"Sigh, I like it, but I also hate it a bit."

After hearing what Xian Shen said, Shen Ye frowned. He hadn't expected Xian Shen to say that.

However, he felt that what the ginseng said made some sense. After all, it was true that Dead Creek Forest was a forbidden area, but for many people, it was mainly because it was too dangerous. But for the Gu King, even if he took some time to come here and didn't get discovered by others, it shouldn't be a big deal.

Fresh ginseng can't go out, but it can come in.

"I don't understand!"

Shen Ye sighed.

……

(I've been writing this chapter for a whole time, but I have no inspiration!)

Chapter 466! She's your mother.

……

The campfire burned quietly, occasionally crackling with a few pops.

After saying those words, Xiancan fell silent again. In fact, she didn't know why she said those words; it seemed she just had to get them off her chest.

"Perhaps that child's father also misses you, but he has his own reasons."

Shen Ye was unsure of what the fresh ginseng was thinking, so after thinking for a moment, he spoke according to the script.

“Little brother, if the Twelve Caves really cared about exiling me, they should have sent people to observe my movements over the years. In fact, they didn’t. Those people who were terrified didn’t. They didn’t even dare to leave their homes.”

Xian Shen sneered. She saw a fruit that had fallen from the tree on the ground, picked it up casually, and took a bite without caring that it was covered in dirt.

Juice spilled from the corner of her mouth, and she frowned slightly, clearly annoyed by the sourness, but she still swallowed it.

She then wiped her mouth and continued, "After waiting for more than ten years, this is the result... are you willing to accept it?"

As she spoke, she took another bite, but the astringent taste of the unknown fruit made her frown again.

To be honest, Shen Ye rarely empathizes with others, but this time, he walked up to the ginseng, snatched the fruit from her hand, and took a bite.

Suddenly, a variety of unpalatable tastes exploded in his mouth.

However, he still managed to swallow the juice in his mouth.

"It's not something I'm used to, but I'm used to it. I've been eating this stuff for over ten years." Xiancan smiled slightly. "Beef is really delicious. When I first left Twelve Caves, it was my favorite. I could eat ten bowls of rice in one go."

Shen Ye swallowed the last bit of fruit in his mouth, but the astringent and sour taste had not yet disappeared. Hearing what Xian Shen said, he suddenly felt that she was really pitiful.

He closed his eyes slightly and began searching through the system space. Then, a few milk candies appeared in his hand.

Peeling off the coating of one of the milk candies, Shen Ye placed the candy in his palm and offered it to the fresh ginseng.

"It's sweet."

It's just four very simple words.

Fresh Ginseng paused for a moment, looked at the small white piece in Shen Ye's palm, hesitated, picked it up, sniffed it, and then put it in her mouth.

Instantly, tears streamed down her face, but Xian Shen smiled.

"After fifteen years, I finally know what sweetness tastes like."

Seeing the fresh ginseng unable to stop crying, Shen Ye crushed the milk candy in his mouth, then turned to look at Chi Meng sitting on the swing.

"Meng'er, come here."

Chi Meng reluctantly jumped off the swing and walked up to the two of them.

“Tell her your name and who you are,” Shen Ye said again.

Chi Meng didn't understand why Shen Ye would say that, but she still revealed her name.

"Chi Meng, my name is Chi Meng, the Holy Maiden of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave."

Upon hearing her name, Xian Shen was completely stunned. She glanced at Shen Ye, then at Chi Meng.

Then, she hugged Chi Meng tightly and burst into loud sobs.

"Big pot..."

Chi Meng was startled and looked at Shen Ye, puzzled.

Shen Ye didn't say anything, he just quietly watched her and the ginseng.

"Young master, could it be that she..."

Shi Yao, who had more than a decade more experience than Chi Meng, finally realized what was happening.

Shen Ye forced a smile and said, "She is Chi Meng's mother!"

……

No one asked Shen Ye why he knew that Xian Shen was Chi Meng's mother. They just watched Xian Shen cry for a while while holding Chi Meng, and then sit alone to the side.

At this moment, the ginseng was muttering something, but no one could hear it clearly.

"Mom..."

Chi Meng looked at the fresh ginseng and called out uncertainly.

Fresh Ginseng looked up and glanced at her indifferently: "Don't use the word 'old,' I'm not old yet."

But she had a smile on her face.

Just now, Chi Meng revealed her father's name and her past experiences, and Xian Shen finally confirmed that the girl he was at odds with was his daughter.

But she also learned that the man who had gotten close to her with just a few words was actually her son-in-law.
