Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

Then, just as Shen Ye was pondering what to say to ease the incredibly strange atmosphere, Kagura Manki continued, "Shen-kun, Miss Qiong and Miss Shermie have come from afar, so as their host, I should naturally treat them. How about we go have a meal first?"

“Great! I’ve been wanting to try authentic Japanese food for ages… Joan, what about you?” Sharmie turned to look at Joan.

Although she didn't understand why Sharmi didn't just ask Shen Ye directly, Joan shrugged: "I don't care."

"Then Mr. Shen and the other two, please follow us." Kagura Manki smiled and gestured for them to follow, then took the lead and walked towards the parking lot.

Before leaving, she glanced at Sharmie, but Sharmie just smiled calmly and walked side by side with her.

"Shen, why do I feel like they know each other?"

At this moment, Qiong approached Shen Ye and asked.

"Yes, Shen Jun, has your elder sister met Miss Sharmi?"

Although Kagura Chizuru was unhappy that Shen Ye had brought back another woman who she considered sexy and had a lewd chest, she was more concerned about her older sister's attitude towards Shermie. The feeling of unfamiliarity mixed with familiarity made her somewhat confused.

Listening to the two women's words, Shen Ye forced a very awkward smile: "Perhaps, this is fate."

……

Kagura Maki arranged for her to stay at a very luxurious old restaurant in Tokyo, but this was originally intended to welcome Joan, since Joan was someone who posed no threat to her.

The two sisters had already read all the information about Joan, and they didn't see her as a woman at all, given that she liked to dress as a man and had a flat chest.

Aside from having slightly longer legs, a neutral appearance, a flat chest, and no femininity, plus a younger brother who's a burden on her, how could such a woman be considered a match for anyone?

In the sisters' eyes, Joan was not even as threatening as Sayuri.

However, now that there's Shermie, things are completely different. Especially after entering the Japanese restaurant and seeing Shermie sitting so naturally next to Shen Ye, the Kagura sisters' expressions became somewhat unnatural, and they both gave Helena's evaluation of Shermie back then.

A woman who is not morally upright.

Shermie naturally noticed the sisters' expressions and, knowing they were her mortal enemies, she immediately had an idea.

She grabbed Shen Ye's arm, letting it sink completely into her soft chest, and then said in a flirtatious tone, "Shen, can you order me some sashimi? You know, I love fish the most."

……

Chapter 668! A draw...and majesty.

……

The Kagura sisters, sitting opposite the two, snapped their chopsticks in two.

Shen Ye said expressionlessly, "If you want to eat fish, then order it yourself."

Then, to divert the three people's attention, he looked at Joan, who was sitting alone to one side: "Joan, what would you like to eat?"

Qiong knew perfectly well that Shen Ye was using her as a shield, and she felt a little helpless and annoyed, but she still smiled and said, "Do you have any red wine? If so, it doesn't matter what we eat."

When Qiong, who had been pushed out by Shen Ye to act as a shield, spoke up, the tense atmosphere immediately eased a bit. At this moment, the Kagura sisters also remembered that this meal was originally intended to entertain Shen Ye and Qiong, and they didn't care what Sharmi wanted to eat.

At the same time, Kagura Maki was also somewhat relieved, because she had initially wanted to host the guests at the shrine, since hosting guests at home would show more respect for them. But now that she thought about it, changing her mind at the last minute and hosting them at a restaurant outside was a wise choice.

She didn't want the Four Heavenly Kings' wild and unrestrained Inari to enter the family's shrine, otherwise, if the Kagura family's ancestor knew in the afterlife, he would be furious.

Upon hearing that Qiong wanted to drink red wine, Kagura Manki immediately instructed her bodyguard to go outside and buy some. The Japanese restaurant she chose had been around for a while and featured a retro style. It had a wide variety of sake, but not a single bottle of Western liquor.

Kagura Manki then handed the menu to Shen Ye, asking him to order.

Since they were already so familiar with each other, Shen Ye naturally didn't hold back and ordered a whole bunch of random dishes. After all, most Japanese restaurants, besides looking exquisite, had pitifully small portions.

Finally, after hesitating for a moment, Shen Ye ordered a plate of seafood sashimi for Sharmi.

Then he regretted it, because Sharmi had used it as an excuse to make a scene.

Sharmy gave him a big kiss on the cheek with great satisfaction, her sweet voice completely natural: "Shen, you're so good to me. You said you'd let me order by myself, but you were afraid I'd feel embarrassed. Hmm, I've decided, I'm going to reward you properly tonight."

Click!

The Kagura sisters snapped the newly replaced chopsticks in half again, making Shen Ye awkwardly touch his neck. Their grip was quite strong; he hoped they wouldn't use it on him.

"Can you explain what you mean by reward?" Kagura Chizuru threw away the bamboo chopsticks that had broken into four pieces in her hand without expression. She first glared at Shen Ye, and then stared angrily at Shermie.

Shermie looked at her with surprise: "Don't you understand?"

"Of course I understand," Kagura Chizuru said through gritted teeth.

"Since you understand, why are you asking?" Sharm glanced at Kagura Chizuru with disdain, then her gaze fell on the calm Kagura Maki, and she said provocatively, "Miss Maki, you should know what I'm talking about, right? Oh, no, you probably don't know, after all, you're a shrine maiden and can't get married. Sorry, I shouldn't have asked you, it was my fault."

How could the Four Heavenly Kings of Orochi not know the rules of the Kagura family? The elder of the twin sisters could only be a priestess for life, and could not take a husband, marry, or have children. According to what she thought at this moment, unless she violated the rules set by her ancestors, Kagura Maki could only remain a virgin for life.

However, she seemed to have forgotten that even she, one of the Four Heavenly Kings who possessed the power of a giant serpent, could have thoughts of defying divine might. A mere ancestral rule was actually nothing at all.

Therefore, Kagura Maki wasn't angry. She simply smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether I can get married or not, but my sister can, and the child she gives birth to will definitely be healthy."

Kagura Maki's words struck a nerve with Shermie. She wanted to live as a normal woman, and marriage and children were inevitable. But since she possessed the bloodline of Orochi, her children would naturally also have the bloodline of Orochi. Even if she died and was reincarnated, her descendants with the bloodline of Orochi would continue to fulfill her mission of resurrecting Orochi.

So in fact, she never thought about having children, nor did she want her descendants to be burdened by this mission.

Or perhaps it's less of a mission and more of a curse.

Shermi fell silent.

Shen Ye, observing from the sidelines, glanced at the Kagura sisters and Shermie, wisely refraining from interjecting. With his rich experience, he knew very well that in this situation, it was best to remain uninvolved, otherwise he would only invite trouble.

However, what he is most worried about now is that Kagura Manki and Shermie will directly flip the table and start a physical fight. This is completely different from the last time the two sisters fought against Shiranui Mai. The Kagura family and the Four Heavenly Kings used to be mortal enemies. Now that they can sit down and talk "calmly", it is already a lot of face for him.

However, remaining silent all the time wasn't a good thing. Shen Ye glanced at Qiong, hoping she would say something, since she was the only outsider.

But Joan shrugged at him, indicating that she couldn't help him. Of course, she didn't want to get involved. After all, she was a woman, and women know best how terrifying a war between women can be.

Seeing that Qiong was unwilling to help, Shen Ye had no choice but to try. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't find a way to ease the tension.

There's no way around it; the Eight Heroes are inherently at odds with the Three Sacred Treasures Clan. If they could be persuaded with just words, they wouldn't have been entangled for over a thousand years.

With a sigh, Shen Ye picked up his chopsticks and said, "Let's eat. I'm hungry."

Before he could decide what to eat, Sharmi quickly put a tempura plate on his plate and said with a sweet smile, "Shen, just eat, I'll get you some more food."

Kagura Manki, on the other side, calmly gave her sister a wink, and Kagura Chizuru immediately stood up, knelt down next to Shen Ye, and poured him a cup of wine.

At this moment, Kagura Maki said, "Shen-kun, have Chizuru pour you sake as before."

Well, here we go again.

However, Shen Ye was too lazy to say anything now. He ate a bite of food and drank a sip of wine, dealing with both sides impartially.

At the same time, he was thinking, "Go ahead and make a scene. If you keep disturbing my peace, I'll go stay with Xiaowu."

Fortunately, from that moment on, neither side said a word to the other, just like a traditional Japanese woman, virtuously serving the men in her home.

This made Shen Ye a little uncomfortable, and he said helplessly, "You guys eat too, don't just focus on me."

But they continued to do as they pleased.

"I said you should eat with us too," Shen Ye suddenly said, his face hardening.

Then, he snatched the sake bottle from Chizuru Kagura's hand and put it aside. He then sat up and began serving food to everyone, including Joan.

Then, he said seriously, "Eat!"

Seeing Shen Ye's firm attitude this time, the Kagura sisters and Shermie had no choice but to pick up their chopsticks and start eating. Even Joan stopped drinking her red wine and watching the show from the sidelines, and silently ate the food in her bowl.

They had known Shen Ye for a moderate amount of time, but this was the first time they had ever seen him speak in such a serious tone, and they couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

Shen Ye looked at the four women's current behavior with satisfaction, thinking to himself that he was quite authoritative. He should be more assertive in the future, otherwise they would argue every time they met, which he couldn't stand.

Thus, after a brief exchange, the atmosphere between Kagura and Shermie, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, finally eased.

With the meal over, the next issue is the matter of Antonjoon and Sharmi.

……

Chapter 669! Dragon and Tiger

……

Speaking of which, Qiong is the easiest to arrange. Shen Ye plans to take her directly to find Mai Shiranui and Sayuri later. They are currently stationed at the Kyokugenryu Dojo, but he heard that they will be returning to the Kyokugenryu Dojo soon because Takuma Sakazaki is about to come back.

As for Shermie, that's a bit tricky. Shen Ye and she have done everything they could, but bringing her back to the Yata Shrine is definitely out of the question. Even disregarding the feud between the Orochi Four Heavenly Kings and the Three Sacred Treasures families, the Kagura sisters wouldn't allow a woman they consider a mistress to live in their house.

Therefore, it's not very realistic to send Shermie to the Shiranui-ryu dojo, and Mai Shiranui wouldn't be happy about it either.

In the end, Shen Ye could only let Xia Ermi rent a place to live outside. Although he felt it was a bit unfair to her, Xia Ermi didn't seem to care much.

Afterwards, Shen Ye led Qiong and Shermie to say goodbye to the Kagura sisters at the restaurant entrance, and then began to take Qiong to see Mai Shiranui and Sayuri.

……

Speaking of which, the Kyokugenryu Dojo is also within the Tokyo metropolitan area, but like the Shiranui-ryu Dojo, it is located in a suburban area that is not very prosperous.

However, the reputation of the Kyokugenryu Dojo was much greater than that of the Shiranui-ryu Dojo. After taking a taxi to the suburbs, I found it by asking any passerby.

Shermi was left to wait at the entrance, mainly because she was afraid that she would start another fight with Mai Shiranui. Then Shen Ye led Qiong into the dojo.

After Shen Ye and Qiong went inside, Sharmi lowered her eyes slightly. It wasn't that she felt Shen Ye was being biased by not taking her in, but rather that she sensed the aura of the giant serpent here.
