Infinite: From the Resident Evil

"Is it true?" Shen Ye said in surprise when he saw Lu Linxuan nod.

"But this is too fast, isn't it? We have only known each other for a short time!" he added.

"Soon? And we already know each other..."

Lu Linxuan said this while counting on his fingers, but found that it didn't seem like a few days, so he simply stopped counting and said directly: "Oh, we have known each other for many days anyway, and many people have never even met before getting married. We see each other every day now, so we can definitely get married."

"What you said makes some sense, but it feels a bit too hasty. Let's wait a while."

Although he felt that what Lu Linxuan said made some sense, Shen Ye still shook his head and refused.

The reason for the refusal, besides the fact that it was indeed a bit urgent, was also because he was worried about how he would tell the women at home when he returned to reality. After all, the women at home were looking at him eagerly. If he brought a married woman back home without saying anything, there would probably be a big fuss.

"But, after a while, I'm afraid I'll have to be a mistress." Lu Linxuan said his true feelings with grievance.

Upon hearing that it was because of this, Shen Ye suddenly found it funny and quickly comforted him: "Don't worry about this, I don't distinguish between big and small here."

"Brother Shen, you don't divide it, but we do." Lu Linxuan emphasized the word "we" and hinted at something.

"Uh..." Shen Ye was stunned for a moment, and inexplicably felt that there seemed to be some truth in it. After all, most women of this era, except for a few exceptions, seemed to care about this.

Seeing that Shen Ye didn't say anything, Lu Linxuan continued: "Although I'm not the first one to know you, Brother Shen, Sister Xue'er knew you earlier than me, but I just don't want to be the younger one, I want to be..."

Before she could even utter that big word, a cold voice interrupted her: "If you are the boss, then doesn't that mean I have to be the little one?"

Hearing this voice, Shen Ye and Lu Linxuan looked back and saw the empress riding a horse following them, with Ji Ruxue following beside her. Both of them were looking at Lu Linxuan with anger on their faces.

Lu Linxuan looked back unwillingly, but it was obvious that they were no match for the master and servant in a two-on-one situation, and they were quickly defeated. She could only mutter in a low voice: "Sure enough, you are also planning to take advantage of my elder brother Shen!"

Listening to her mumbling, the empress snorted coldly and said, "What do you mean by your Big Brother Shen? He is also my Shen Lang, okay? Besides, we have already agreed last night that I will be the boss and Xue'er will be the junior. As for you, hmm, of course you will be ranked behind Xue'er."

"Why?" Lu Linxuan was unwilling.

"Why? Because I'm older than all of you."

The empress was the last among the three women to know Shen Ye. Of course, she couldn't use this to rank people by seniority. She could only talk about her age, which she was most reluctant to talk about.

However, when he heard her use age to compare, Lu Linxuan was a little disdainful: "Then if there is a woman older than you who likes Brother Shen in the future, then you will have to be the younger brother again, right?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Shen is not so shameless that he will marry any woman." The empress also looked disdainful.

Then she continued, "Besides, there are plenty of young and beautiful women in my Huanyin House. Even if Shen Lang wants to try something new in the future, I can just pick a few from the house. There are plenty of people willing to be his mistresses, and you are not a big deal."

"You..." Lu Linxuan was shocked by the empress's words. She didn't expect the empress to say such a thing.

Shen Ye was also shocked. He glanced at the empress's expression, but found that she seemed serious, and suddenly felt a little unbelievable.

After a moment of silence, he asked, "Yun Ji, are you serious?"

Seeing Shen Ye's face full of disbelief, the empress nodded and said with a somewhat aggrieved tone: "It's all for the sake of making you happy! Anyway, I am yours, and Huanyinfang will also be yours in the future. Instead of giving it to others, it's better to give it to you."

……

Chapter 419! Status

……

Although her tone was very aggrieved, one thing proved that the empress had already recognized her status as the eldest wife at this time. As the eldest wife, in addition to being virtuous and good at managing the household, she also had to be generous enough.

But now it seems that the empress's magnanimity is obviously a bit surprising. After she finished speaking, Shen Ye, Ji Ruxue, and Lu Linxuan were all shocked again.

After another moment of silence, Shen Ye coughed and said, "Yun Ji, just tell me about this in private."

"How can I appear magnanimous if I say it in private?" The empress raised her chin slightly with a smug expression.

Then she glanced at Lu Linxuan again and snorted coldly, "I'm not as selfish as a certain sister who wants to be big by any means and make others small, and she's also so jealous."

"Who are you saying is jealous?" Lu Linxuan knew that the empress was talking about her, but he still couldn't help asking back.

The empress gave her another sidelong glance and said, "I'm talking to whoever speaks to me."

"you……"

Lu Linxuan was furious, but helpless, so he could only look at Shen Ye with tears in his eyes.

"Brother Shen..."

"Okay, okay, don't be angry. I'll help you talk to her later." Shen Ye quickly comforted her.

After finally stopping Lu Linxuan's tears, he turned back to the empress and said, "You too, how can a sister bully her sister like this? If you keep saying that, I'll teach you a lesson."

Although the empress was criticized, Shen Ye's voice of "sister" confirmed her status. She said happily, "Who told her to sneak around and trick you into proposing marriage? I didn't even dare to think of that. You should teach the stealing cat a lesson."

Actually, she had thought about it, but in this era, people paid more attention to parents' orders and matchmaker's words. Her parents died when she was young, and her only brother went to Miaojiang and had not been seen for more than ten years. Even if the empress wanted Shen Ye to propose marriage, she could only wait until her brother came back. That's why she reacted so strongly to Lu Linxuan's words.

"You guys, stop talking too much and don't make Xuan'er angry again." Shen Ye couldn't help but shake his head when he saw the empress's smug look. She didn't look like a superior at all. She looked like a little girl who won a quarrel...

But speaking of it, if her brother hadn't dumped the mess of Qi State on her, making her bear a burden that she shouldn't have, perhaps her personality at this moment would be her true character.

Immediately, Shen Ye sighed in his heart, everyone said that Li Xingyun had a tragic life and had experienced many hardships, in fact, the empress was almost the same, even more pitiful. After all, she didn't have Yuan Tiangang, a human-shaped plug-in to help her!

Thinking of this, Shen Ye looked at the empress with a bit of pity in his eyes. It happened that the empress's mount was running side by side with his mount, so he reached out and held the empress's hand.

Although it was not the first time that Shen Ye held her hand, the empress's face immediately flushed with anger. She misunderstood Shen Ye's meaning and said immediately, "Okay, I know. I won't say anything about her. I will treat Sister Xuan'er well in the future."

Seeing that her meaning was misunderstood by the empress, Shen Ye simply went along with her and said, "That would be best. We will all be a family from now on. As their elder sister, you should take better care of them."

"Yes!" The empress nodded gently, then waved to Lu Linxuan: "Sister Xuan'er, come here."

Lu Linxuan was a little reluctant at first, but after Shen Ye patted him on the head gently, he rode his horse over obediently.

Looking at the two women riding their horses to the other side and talking, Shen Ye breathed a sigh of relief. No matter whether the two women would reconcile in the future, at least now, his ears could finally be a little quieter.

However, just as the Empress and Lu Linxuan left, Ji Ruxue, who had not said anything, rode over again. She glanced at the two women who were far away and said to him with a smile in her eyes, "Brother Shen, it's finally my turn now."

Shen Ye: "..."

Then he thought helplessly, well, it looks like I won’t have any peace and quiet again.

Of course, thinking so, he naturally couldn't ignore Ji Ruxue, but he didn't want to talk, so he simply patted the saddle and jumped behind Ji Ruxue, just like the first time he learned to ride a horse in Yuzhou City, holding the reins in one hand and holding Ji Ruxue's waist with the other.

"Don't talk, let me hold you for a while." Seeing that Ji Ruxue seemed to be about to open her mouth, Shen Ye spoke before her.

Hearing him say this, Ji Ruxue quickly closed her mouth again, but she did not feel disappointed at all. After all, nothing she said could be as reassuring as being hugged by the person she loved.

After thinking about it, she snatched the reins from Shen Ye's hand again, and then placed his free hand on her waist, allowing him to hug her tighter and feel more comfortable.

Then, she held the reins with both hands, lay comfortably in Shen Ye's arms, and slowly closed her eyes.

……

Time passed quickly while we were on the road.

Because the empress deliberately ordered her people to slow down their pace, at noon, they did not encounter the next town and could only rest and eat in the wild.

Since they were dining in the wild, the conditions were naturally incomparable to those in the inn, but the vehicles of Huanyinfang still carried a lot of pots, pans, and easy-to-preserve ingredients. Immediately, several disciples of Huanyinfang who were good at odd jobs started to light a fire and cook.

Honestly, it was Shen Ye's first time to have a picnic in ancient times. He went to watch with great interest, but was disappointed when he saw that they were just reheating the already prepared flatbreads and chopping up some pickled meat to make soup. Because he had watched too many costume TV dramas, he thought they would catch some wild game and roast it like in the TV dramas.

The empress, who was kneeling on a cushion drinking tea, saw Shen Ye excitedly running to watch the servants light the fire and cook, and then came back with a disappointed look on his face. Thinking that he was dissatisfied with the food, she said helplessly: "Shen Lang, this is the condition of sleeping in the open air. Please be patient for a while. When we get to the next town, we will find an inn and ask them to cook your favorite food."

Now that she had a showdown with Lu Linxuan, she could call Shen Ye "Shen Lang" in front of outsiders without any scruples, and several of her subordinates also called him "son-in-law" affectionately, which made Li Xingyun and Zhang Zifan, who were already envious of his popularity with women, sigh that God was unfair.

"Ok."

Although his true thoughts were misunderstood, Shen Ye was too lazy to explain the reason for his disappointment. He nodded and sat on the cushion.

But he usually would never sit if he could lie down. After sitting for a while, he simply lay down, and rested his head on the thighs of Ji Ruxue, who was kneeling beside the empress, and smelled the seductive body fragrance emanating from her, with a satisfied smile on his face.

……

(It was already three in the morning when I finished revising this chapter... Although I was very enthusiastic about writing these past two days, my thoughts were very chaotic. I couldn't write something that would satisfy myself and everyone else. It seemed like it was because I kept going out for drinks and socializing and didn't get enough rest. Sigh)

Chapter 420! Three major assassination organizations

……

After a simple lunch, the group rested for a while and then set off again.

This time, they moved much faster than in the morning. They covered several times the distance of the entire morning in most of the afternoon. This allowed them to arrive at the small town that the empress had mentioned to Shen Ye at least an hour before dark.

However, although it is also a small town, this town is much larger than the town where they had stayed for a night before. The streets are bustling with people, and most of them are merchants who have settled here. Many merchants also sell the goods they carry on the spot, making this place look particularly lively.

After entering the town, the empress said to Shen Ye, "Shen Lang, there is an inn up ahead that serves pretty good food. Shall we go eat there?"

There have only been a few roads from Bashu to Hanzhong since ancient times. When she brought people to Yuzhou a few days ago, she passed by this place and had some impression of it.

"I'm fine with anything." Shen Ye nodded casually: "Go ask other people."

But the empress's heart was entirely on him, so how could she ask for other people's opinions? Seeing that he had no objection, she made the decision for others directly.

She waved her hand forward and said, "Let's go to that inn."

The group soon arrived at the door of the inn. The waiter who was waiting at the door to greet guests was immediately delighted to see so many people coming in at once, and hurried forward to welcome them in.

Although there was still some time before mealtime, there were still quite a few people eating in the inn. When they saw a large group of people suddenly rushing in, most of whom were young and beautiful women, they all had surprise on their faces. However, most of these people were traveling merchants, and they could see that these women were not easy to mess with, so they naturally would not do anything rude. There were even a few knowledgeable merchants who recognized their identities and were afraid that something might happen, so they didn't even eat their meal, and hurriedly paid the bill and left, attracting the attention of some confused merchants.

"It seems that your Huanyinfang is quite notorious in the martial world. Those people obviously saw through your identities." Seeing the fear on the faces of those merchants as they left, Shen Ye understood the reason and immediately joked to the empress sitting on his right.

"What do you mean by my Huanyinfang? What's mine is not yours?" The empress first corrected the mistake in Shen Ye's words, then narrowed her eyes slightly and said very domineeringly: "My Huanyinfang is one of the three major assassination organizations after all. If it doesn't even have this bad reputation, how can it gain a foothold in the world!"

"Your Huanyinfang is actually an assassination organization?" Lu Linxuan, who was sitting opposite Shen Ye, showed a look of surprise. She had only been in the world for a short time, so naturally she didn't know what Huanyinfang did. She had even heard of the three words Huanyinfang only after she met the empress yesterday.

Seeing Lu Linxuan's shocked expression, the empress was also a little curious: "Sister Xuan'er, you don't even know what we do?"

"She and her brother have only been away from the sect for a few days, how could they have heard of it? So, you... No, we in Huanyinfang can only scare the civilians." Shen Ye answered for Lu Linxuan and teased him at the same time.

"Nonsense, we would never scare ordinary people..." The empress glared at him in dissatisfaction, but her eyes did not contain any murderous power.

At this time, Lu Linxuan curiously asked the empress: "Sister, since there are three major assassination organizations, what are the names of the other two assassination organizations?"

Now it is becoming more and more convenient for her to call the Empress Sister.

Looking at Lu Linxuan, who was arguing with her about age in the morning but now called her sister affectionately, the empress's vanity was greatly satisfied. However, just when she was about to explain, a "gentle" voice came from Li Xingyun's table next door.

"The other two, one is the Xuanming Sect that you had a fight with a few days ago, and the other is a killer organization called Tongwen Pavilion. Although they are not as fond of playing tricks as the Xuanming Sect, they are all a group of villains and hypocrites who talk about morality and justice."

When Shangguan Yunque said this, he was facing Lu Linxuan, so he did not notice that Zhang Zifan, who was sitting at the same table with him, had suddenly turned cold, and the hand holding the paper fan had lost its color due to the force.

After all, he is the young master of Tongwenguan.
