So Shen Ye nodded slightly and said confidently, "Don't worry about leaving her in my care. I can definitely take good care of her."

Goenitz smiled and said, "I believe you on that point, because you are from China, and Chinese men are usually very good at taking care of people, especially women."

Actually, he initially planned to leave Sharan in the care of Shermie or Mature and Weiss, but when he went to see Shermie yesterday, he sat at her house for a while and immediately gave up that idea. He saw that the dishes Shermie used at night were piled up directly in the sink, and the coffee table was full of beverage bottles and beer cans. If he didn't know that Shermie didn't smoke, he probably would have seen a full ashtray as well.

It's better to take care of her himself than to leave her in Sharmi's care. He doesn't want Sharmi to corrupt Sharan, as the saying goes, "One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black."

As for Mature and Weiss, Goenitz thought they were about the same level as Shermie, or maybe even worse.

So after much deliberation, Goenitz decided to hand Sharan over to Shen Ye. Moreover, in his opinion, Shen Ye had many women around him, and if Shen Ye couldn't take care of them all, his women could take care of them.

Hearing Goenitz's stereotypical words, Shen Ye did not refute them. He didn't know whether other Chinese men were good at taking care of women, but he himself was.

However, seeing how much Goenitz trusted him, Shen Ye joked, "Speaking of which, taking care of a child is not an easy task. Besides, as her father, don't you consider giving her some living expenses?"

Goenitz knew Shen Ye was joking, of course. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that what he said made some sense. Recalling how helpless he was when he first adopted Sharan, a look of nostalgia appeared on his face. Then, he pointed to Mature and Vice: "Ask them for money. They have plenty of money. In human terms, they are rich women now. Let them pay for Sharan's upbringing. You just need to take care of her."

"Looks like they're doing much better than Shermie. You two, are you interested in supporting another gigolo?" Shen Ye said to Mai Zhuo and Shermie, though he was also joking.

“Okay, as long as Shermie agrees, we don’t mind.” Mature lifted a strand of blonde hair from her forehead with one finger, a charming smile on her face, then looked at Vice: “What do you think?”

“I’m fine with it, I’m just worried he won’t be able to satisfy us,” Weiss said calmly, raising her slender eyebrows.

“Don’t worry, we’ve seen Sharmi before. She can handle women with that kind of figure, so I think he’ll be fine.” Mai Zhuo said, giving Shen Ye a teasing look. “Am I right?”

Don't drive recklessly, there are children here!

Shen Ye ignored the two of them and looked at Goenitz expressionlessly: "Aren't you going to do anything about them?"

“Although I am the leader of the Eight Heroes, I can’t control them in this kind of thing,” Goenitz said with a smile. “But seeing how well you two get along, I’m relieved. Mature and Vice have never been as nice to other men as they are to you.”

"Does this sound like an honor for me?" Shen Ye asked, pursing his lips.

“It is indeed your honor.” Mature and Weiss nodded, then laughed at the same time.

Goenitz laughed for a while, then got up and walked towards Sharan. Although he wasn't leaving until tomorrow, he still planned to hand Sharan over to Shen Ye early so that she could adapt to the unfamiliar environment in advance.

……

Soon after, Shen Ye took Sharan's hand and got into a taxi by the roadside. The two cars that had come had already been driven away by the Kagura sisters and Mai Shiranui, so he had no choice but to take Sharan back to the shrine by taxi.

He originally wanted to take Sharan to the Shiranui-ryu dojo, but after thinking about it, he felt it would be more convenient to take her back to the shrine. There were more people there, and maids who could take good care of Sharan in every way.

"Shen, where are we going? Aren't we going to Sister Sharmi's place?" In the car, Sharan looked at Shen Ye and called him as he had requested.

Shen Ye really wasn't used to being called "big brother," it felt awkward. Unless it was called "onii-chan" in Japanese, even though the meaning was the same, he felt it would be even more awkward to hear a blonde beauty call him "onii-chan." After thinking about it, he decided to use the surname that Westerners were most used to calling him.

Moreover, there is an even bigger problem: when Sharan calls him "big brother," he always feels that he is a generation below Goenitz. Although they can be addressed separately, it just doesn't feel right.

"No, I'll go to where I live now. Besides, your sister Shermie's place... isn't really suitable." Actually, Shermie's current place is quite spacious. No matter how much Kagura Manki hates the Eight Orochi, she still got Shermie a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment for Shen Ye's sake. The main reason is that if he and Shermie move to Shermie's place, how will they continue their morning exercise?

Although Western women mature very early, Sharon was definitely not one of them. The innocent girl was well protected by Goenitz, which led her to not understand the meaning behind Shen Ye's words.

After letting out a soft "oh," Sharan quieted down. Then she leaned against the car window, watching the people and things outside recede into the distance.

Suddenly, the little girl asked softly, "Daddy... he'll be alright, won't he?"

"Your father is very strong," Shen Ye simply said.

After a while, Sharon asked again, "Can I call Dad often from now on?"

"I'll buy you a cell phone when we get back, so you can call me anytime you want." Shen Ye moved closer to Shalan and reached out to pat her head.

Sharan showed no resistance to Shen Ye's intimate behavior, and even took off her nun's hat so that he could touch her hair directly.

The little girl is really adorable!

Shen Ye sighed, and found the hair very comfortable to touch.

Of course, Shen Ye had absolutely no improper thoughts about Shalan; he simply liked her. After all, she was only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, and he would despise himself if he made a move on her.

And even if she wanted to, she'd have to wait until she's an adult...

cough……

Soon, the taxi arrived at the entrance of Yata Shrine.

After paying, Shen Ye took Sharan's hand and they passed through the shrine gate.

……

Chapter 699! Sukiyaki

……

With only one day left until the fighting tournament, no amount of last-minute cramming would be of much use. So, after returning, the Kagura sisters didn't stay in the training ground as usual, but instead went to the club's teahouse to drink tea. When they saw Shen Ye return with a beautiful blonde girl by his hand, the two sisters were both taken aback.

"What a beautiful young girl!" Kagura Chizuru exclaimed first, then looked at Shen Ye strangely: "Where did you kidnap her from?"

"Guess!" Shen Ye was always in a good mood, so he liked to make harmless jokes and say teasing things. After leading Sharan to sit opposite the two sisters, he said to Sharan, "This is Kagura Manki. You can call her Manki-neechan."

The little girl nodded obediently to Kagura Manki: "Hello, Manki-neechan."

"Hello..." Kagura Manki frowned slightly as she looked at Sharan. She sensed that Sharan's aura was a bit strange, but at this time Sharan had only been given blood by Goenitz and had not yet awakened her power, which made Kagura Manki wonder if she was perceiving wrong.

At this moment, Shen Ye pointed to Kagura Chizuru and said to Salan, "This is Kagura Chizuru."

"Hello, Chizuru-neechan." Sharan nodded to Kagura Chizuru again.

"What a good girl!" Kagura Chizuru's eyes, as cool as her sister's, lit up with joy. Clearly, Sharan was a girl loved by everyone.

Then, Chizuru Kagura called out towards the door, "Yumiko, bring over some sweets."

Only then did she begin to respond to Shen Ye's earlier words.

"I bet someone asked you to take care of her. Such a pretty little girl couldn't have been abandoned, could she?"

Great, you guessed both correctly.

Shen Ye gave the arrogant older woman an approving look before saying, "Indeed, she was taking care of someone else."

"Who is it? It can't be Helena's woman, right? Her hair is blonde too, but I've never heard of her having a sister. Hmm, could it be that Joan? But I remember she only has one brother..." Kagura Chizuru guessed.

"Neither." Shen Ye shook his head, deciding not to keep them in suspense any longer: "Wan Gui, Qian He, don't be surprised or excited when I tell you."

"Go ahead and say it, we won't." Kagura Chizuru's face showed a reassuring expression, and Kagura Manki hesitated for a moment before nodding as well.

So, Shen Ye said calmly, "She is the leader of the Eight Heroes, Goenitz's adopted daughter, Sharan."

"What..." Kagura Chizuru had barely uttered a word when she quickly covered her mouth.

But Kagura Maki's reaction was even stronger.

"Shen Jun, you actually know about the Eight Heroes? Could it be... could it be that Sharmi told you?"

“No, that’s not it.” Shen Ye took a sip of tea, then shook his head. “I have my own information channels.”

"So you met with Goenitz this morning?" Chizuru Kagura asked.

“Hmm!” Shen Ye nodded, and then began to briefly recount how he met Goenitz and what they talked about when they met that morning.

After listening to Shen Ye's story, both sisters frowned.

"How much of what Goenitz said do you think can be believed?" Kagura Manki asked after a while.

"At least seven or eight points."

After a while, Kagura Maki continued to ask, "Is Orochi really about to revive?"

"Anyway, that's what Goenitz said, so it shouldn't be false." Shen Ye believed that Goenitz had no reason to lie to him, because there was no benefit in doing so. As long as Shen Ye relayed his words to Kagura Manki, regardless of whether it was true or false, Kagura Manki would increase his attention to the seal and his vigilance against the Eight Orochi, which would be too much of a loss.

“But I can’t sense any signs that the Great Serpent is about to revive!” Kagura Manki was starting to believe it. She had been silent for a moment and had already sensed the Great Serpent’s seal through the Yata Mirror, but the seal showed no signs of fluctuation at all, and the Great Serpent was completely still.

However, Orochimaru was too quiet, which was illogical. After all, Orochimaru was only sealed away, not killed. How could he be so quiet?

Frowning, Kagura Manki continued, "No, I have to notify the Kusanagi and Yagami families immediately. If Orochi is really revived by someone using special means, we should be prepared."

Chizuru Kagura frowned as well: "Isn't Kyo Kusanagi going to participate in the fighting tournament tomorrow? Just tell him tomorrow. As for the Yagami family, it seems like we haven't heard from them in a long time."

"Then send someone to look for it..."

Actually, there's no need to look for him specifically. I guess Iori Yagami is already on his way to Tokyo... Shen Ye thought to himself. The Yagami family and the Kusanagi family have a feud that has lasted for generations, and Iori Yagami considers Kyo Kusanagi his rival. I guess Iori Yagami has already seen today's live TV broadcast.

Given Iori Yagami's personality, he will definitely come to Tokyo to cause trouble for Kyo Kusanagi.

However, he couldn't say this to the two sisters. Seeing that they looked anxious, Shen Ye comforted them, "Don't worry, I don't think the giant serpent will break through the seal so easily. Besides, with me here, even if the giant serpent revives, it won't cause any trouble."

Upon hearing this, both sisters looked at Shen Ye with blank expressions.

What does it mean to say that with you here, the giant snake can't stir up any trouble?

That's a giant serpent, the will of a planet, not some insignificant little shrimp.

"Shen-kun, you're not just bragging, are you?" Kagura Chizuru looked at Shen Ye with suspicion. Although he was her man, the enemy was Orochi, and she couldn't simply trust him.

Kagura Manki had the same expression as her sister: "Shen Jun, don't talk nonsense, that's a giant snake."

Feeling the sisters' suspicious gazes, Shen Ye smiled and said, "I have defeated enemies stronger than Orochi. You will know in the future... Alright, let's not talk about this for now. Chizuru, it's almost noon. We can prepare lunch now. Today is Sharan's first day staying here, so let's make it a bit more substantial."

Faced with Shen Ye's sudden change of topic, Kagura Chizuru was stunned for a moment, then said "oh". She had no resistance to Shen Ye's orders.

As she stood up to leave, Chizuru Kagura turned back to look at Saran.
