Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

"Such a heavy aura, as vast as the earth itself, that's right, it's the arid land. I didn't expect him to have been here before. Hmm, it seems the dojo master must be very powerful, otherwise he wouldn't have taken a liking to him."

Shermi looked up at the dojo with the signboard for Kyokugenryu. She knew that the Dry Earth was a very combative person. Before he awakened, besides traveling and music, his greatest hobby was challenging all kinds of masters.

Then, she looked back at another dojo not far away, diagonally opposite the Kyokugenryu dojo.

Todo-ryu Dojo.

The moment she looked over, she felt a familiar aura again, but because the earth's aura left behind by the parched land was so strong, she didn't notice it immediately.

"Orochimaru's dark power, yet another ally!"

At this moment, Sharmi narrowed her eyes slightly. Including her, there were now three members of the Eight Orochi who had been here, and Goenitz had also said before that he would come to Japan as well.

Suddenly, she seemed to realize something, and her face was filled with fear.

Now that Japan is about to gather four members of the Eight Heroes, and three of them are members of the Four Heavenly Kings, doesn't that prove that their mission to revive Orochi is a matter of destiny?

Thinking of this, her face turned deathly pale again.

……

Inside the Kyokugenryu Dojo, after questioning a Kyokugenryu disciple, Shen Ye saw Mai Shiranui and Sayuri supervising the Kyokugenryu disciples' training in the training field.

At this moment, Mai Shiranui, dressed in comfortable casual clothes, was kneeling in the rest area of ​​the training ground, drinking tea, listening absentmindedly to Sayuri instructing the Kyokugenryu disciples.

"Don't let your guard down just because my dad and brother aren't here. Let me tell you, the reason why Kyokugenryu is called Kyokugenryu is because our ancient martial arts were created to break our own limits. If you don't endure hardship now, how will you become stronger in the future? Didn't you suffer enough when others challenged your dojo last time?"

The girl's innocent voice echoed throughout the training ground. Although she was only eighteen or nineteen years old and had a childlike personality, she managed the dojo very well even though her father and brothers were not around. Her tone of voice was somewhat similar to that of her father and brothers.

The Kyokugenryu disciples training on the training ground didn't treat her like a child, or rather, they wouldn't treat her like a child now. After all, they had seen Sayuri's strength. Perhaps she couldn't beat her brother Ryo Sakazaki and Robert, their master's disciple, but in their eyes, she was an unparalleled master.

Thus, under the guidance of Sayuri's voice, which was both childish and somewhat authoritative, these Kyokugenryu disciples dared not slacken their efforts. Under the command of their leader, they diligently practiced the Kyokugenryu techniques.

"Little Lily looks quite promising!"

Just then, Mai Shiranui, who was drinking tea, suddenly heard a familiar voice in her ear. After a moment of surprise, she looked up sharply, and after seeing who it was, she put down her teacup, stood up, and pounced on Shen Ye to hug him.

"Xiaoye, you're finally back. I missed you so much."

"Me too, Xiao Wu."

Shen Ye patted Mai Shiranui on the back and whispered in her ear, "The person that Sayuri asked me to find has been brought back. Come down first, and I'll introduce him to you."

Upon hearing this, Mai Shiranui immediately jumped off Shen Ye and bowed to Qiong, saying, "Hello, my name is Mai Shiranui."

"Hello," Joan greeted him, her gaze falling on Sayuri in the training field.

In fact, Xiaobaihe also noticed Qiong. The two were already acquaintances. After instructing the disciple in charge, she immediately ran to Qiong.

"Sister Qiong."

"Sayuri."

Qiong looked at Xiaobaihe with a look of surprise on her face. She and Xiaobaihe met in Nanzhen, and if you really count it, they have known each other for several years.

"Aren't your brother and the others here?"

Qiong looked around, but couldn't see any familiar faces.

Little Lily said sadly, "My stupid brother went out to cultivate with Dad."

"Robert is coming too?"

“That idiot Robert is definitely my brother’s shadow,” said Sayuri, clenching her fists.

"Robert is actually a pretty good guy, but 'follower' sounds too awful."

“What’s so awful about it? Robert follows my brother everywhere he goes. Like this competition, I had already talked to my dad and brother about it, but they still let Robert participate. They didn’t consider what I thought at all.”

Sayuri said through gritted teeth.

In fact, if it weren't for her father and brother's decision, she might not have thought of Joan, mainly because she was afraid of troubling Joan too much, since Joan had a younger brother to take care of.

But now, Joan doesn't care anymore.

When they left, Shen Ye had already paid off Qiong's brother's hospital bills. It was a huge sum of money, and Qiong thought that no matter what she did in her life, she would never be able to pay it back.

So when Joan left France, she felt that she had no choice but to sell herself to Shen Ye.

This was evident from the fact that Qiong actually had some feelings for Shen Ye during their meal.

……

(He came back after drinking)

Chapter 670! Return to the shrine

(Sorry, I had too much to drink, this chapter is definitely not well written.)

……

However, only Joan herself knew the truth about this matter.

But her feelings for Shen Ye were mostly gratitude, so she could only keep them hidden in her heart and dared not tell anyone.

Before this, the Kagura sisters and Shermie were only focused on arguing, and their attention was completely off her.

Meanwhile, Sayuri was still complaining to King about how her father and brothers wouldn't allow her to participate in the KOF tournament. The innocent girl's complaints were so heartbreaking that they could bring tears to anyone's eyes. If Mai Shiranui and King hadn't spent some time with her and known her personality, they probably would have been moved by her words long ago.

Meanwhile, Shen Ye turned his gaze to the Extreme Flow disciples who were sweating profusely and training hard in the training ground. This was the first time in his life that he had witnessed such a large-scale collective training of apprentices, and he just thought... it was quite interesting.

There are probably over a hundred disciples in the entire training ground, which is much more lively than the Shiranui-ryu Dojo.

Moreover, it must be admitted that the disciples of Kyokugenryu are indeed exceptionally diligent and train very hard, probably because Sayuri's words earlier were very effective.

However, despite being very interested in the scene before him, Shen Ye had not forgotten that Sharmi was still waiting for him outside the dojo.

He left Shermie outside only because he was afraid she and Mai Shiranui would start arguing; he didn't have the energy to maintain their relationship anymore.

So, after chatting with Mai Shiranui and Sayuri for a while, he left amidst Mai Shiranui's reluctant gaze.

Outside the door, Sharmi was resting at the entrance of the Kyokugenryu Dojo. She was in a bad mood and felt somewhat desperate about her fate. She had thought she could escape her mission, but in the end, it still didn't work out.

"Sharmie, what's wrong?"

Standing at the doorway, Shen Ye saw Shermie sitting on the steps with her head down and asked her a question that seemed rather inexplicable.

"nothing."

Hearing Shen Ye's concerned question, Sharmi simply shook her head gently and didn't say much.

At this moment, she thought it was better not to say anything, and even if she did, Shen Ye probably wouldn't be able to help her. After all, in her eyes, Shen Ye was just an ordinary person. Although he knew a little bit of martial arts, he was still far from being a real fighter.

Seeing that Sharmi was unwilling to say more, Shen Ye shrugged, then slowly walked over and sat down next to Sharmi, deciding to sit with her for a while.

In fact, he had a pretty good idea that Shermie's sudden change of heart was definitely because of the Eight Heroes.

Because he knew that Yashiro Nanakase of the Eight Orochi had been here before... Last time, after hearing Sayuri say that the Kyokugenryu Dojo had been challenged, he thought of Yashiro Nanakase, who was a very combative man.

"Would you like to lean on my shoulder for a while?" Shen Ye asked, looking at Shermie.

Shermie nodded slightly, then leaned on his shoulder.

Shen Ye naturally put his arm around Xia Ermi's waist, and after a while, he touched her hair.

After sitting quietly with Sharmi for a while, Shen Ye seemed to remember something, took out his phone from his pocket, and dialed a number...

He was calling the Kagura sisters; at this point, only the Kagura sisters had the ability to find a suitable house for Shermie.

He hadn't forgotten about this; otherwise, where would Sharmi live? Taking her back was definitely not an option.

When the call was made, Kagura Manki answered immediately, but when she heard Shen Ye say that he needed to find a place for Shermie to stay right away, Kagura Manki was a little reluctant.

Finding a place for the Eight Heroes to stay? That's a joke. The only reason they didn't kill her was because of Shen Ye.

However, it must be said that Shen Ye's influence was still very useful. After he said a few nice words, Kagura Manki compromised and soon replied to Shen Ye that she had found a house.

However, all of this came with conditions. Kagura Manki insisted that Shen Ye return to the shrine to rest and did not allow him to stay overnight outside.

That's for sure. Shen Ye was worried that Goenitz would return to Japan. If Goenitz caught him when he wasn't at the shrine and attacked, he would have nowhere to cry.

The main reason he returned to Japan so early this time was to protect Kagura Manki.

……

Before returning to the shrine, Shen Ye took Shermie to the house that Kagura Maki had rented.

It has to be said that even though Kagura Maki disliked Shermie, she still generously arranged an apartment for her, a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment in a very prime location, with a monthly rent of at least several hundred thousand yen.

Afterwards, Shen Ye went downstairs to buy some daily necessities for Shermie and helped clean up before heading back to the shrine.

As soon as he stepped through the ancient and solemn gate of the shrine, Shen Ye hurriedly headed towards the shrine's administrative office.

He was the only one on the ancient approach to the shrine. Since it was already evening, the quiet place made the atmosphere extremely eerie. If he didn't know that this was a shrine, Shen Ye would not have dared to walk alone.

Not long after, Shen Ye arrived at the office, pushed open the door, and saw the Kagura sisters sitting quietly inside drinking tea.

Upon hearing the sound of the door opening, the two sisters immediately turned to look.

"I am back."

"Welcome home, Mr. Shen."

"Thank you for your hard work, Shen Jun."
