Infinite Realms: From Resident Evil and Beyond

　　…

　　After returning to his room, Shen Ye lay down on the bed with his clothes on and dozed off, planning to catch up on his sleep before dawn.

　　Honestly speaking, even though I had this beautiful girl in my arms last night, I didn't sleep well. After all, no man can sleep peacefully in that situation, and no one is an exception.

　　He dozed off for more than an hour and it was dawn. At this moment, Shen Ye opened his eyes from his doze. He heard footsteps coming from the door, but they were not from Lu Linxuan, because the footsteps were mixed and there were two people.

　　Then, a deliberately low-pitched conversation was heard outside the house.

　　"Sister, try knocking on the door to see if the uncle is awake."

　　"Sister, why didn't you knock on the door? If my son-in-law wasn't awake yet and I woke him up by knocking on the door, he would get angry and might make things difficult for me in the future!"

　　"I don't think he will make things difficult for you. My sister is so pretty. Maybe your uncle will punish you by making you work like a slave for him, hehe..."

　　"I think it's you, sister, who wants to be a slave to the son-in-law. Who was the one who stayed up all night last night, whispering in my ear that the new son-in-law is domineering and handsome?"

　　"Little girl, you dare to tease your sister, I will pinch you."

　　"Sister, please spare me. I was wrong..."

　　Hearing the sounds of laughter and playing outside the door, Shen Ye was stunned for a moment, and then he thought of the identities of the two people outside the door, Miaocheng Tian and Xuanjing Tian, a pair of sisters among the Nine Heavens Saints.

　　However, what surprised him was that they actually called him brother-in-law. It seemed that the empress had confirmed his identity in Huanyinfang!

　　"It sounds pretty cool." Shen Ye thought secretly, but he was also a little curious about what they were doing here. Were they here to serve him?

　　Thinking of this, he coughed lightly and said in a lazy tone: "Who is outside? Disturbing people's sleep so early in the morning, you have no sense of public morality at all."

　　As soon as these words were spoken, the sounds of playfulness at the door quieted down, and then a charming and gentle voice was heard.

　　"Master, I, Miaocheng Tian and my sister Xuanjing Tian, have been ordered by the Empress to help you get up and change clothes. Please let us sisters in."

　　Sure enough, they were sent by the empress to serve me... Shen Ye shook his head with amusement, but did not let them in. Instead, he said, "No need, you can go back."

　　"Ah? Why?" Miaocheng Tian was stunned. Why didn't the son-in-law play by the rules? Shouldn't he let them in and enjoy their service as a matter of course?

　　"No reason." Shen Ye frowned. He was afraid that if he let the sisters in, they would be seen by Lu Linxuan and the others.

　　Although he figured out one thing after returning to his room, since the empress could control Ji Ruxue, he could also appease Lu Linxuan, but the prerequisite was that she had to be mentally prepared, and he himself had not figured out how to start.

　　At this time, Miaocheng Tian's voice sounded again: "Does the master think that we servants are unworthy?"

　　"Of course not." Shen Ye said helplessly.

　　"If that's the case, then why is the son-in-law unwilling to let us serve him?" Miaocheng Tian's voice sounded aggrieved.

　　Shen Ye sighed and said, "I said there's no reason, you guys should go back."

　　After he said this, it became quiet outside again. Just when he thought the sisters had left, Miaocheng Tian's voice rang out again, this time with a crying tone in his voice.

　　"Sister, since the uncle won't let us sisters in, we have no way to report to the empress. If we go back, she will definitely punish us. We might as well kneel here. In this way, the empress won't punish us too much if she finds out."

　　"Sister is right... We are servants, our lives are so hard... wuwuwu..."

　　Listening to the conversation outside the door and the seemingly suppressed crying, Shen Ye suddenly felt a headache. How did it become like this?

　　In order to avoid people seeing and gossiping, and also to prevent the two sisters from being really punished by the empress, Shen Ye had no choice but to get up and open the door.

　　However, as soon as the door opened, Shen Ye saw a scene that stunned him. Miaocheng Tian and Xuanjing Tan were no longer kneeling at the door. They were still standing at the door with their toiletries in their arms. They were not crying, but were laughing instead. Especially the younger sister Xuanjing Tian, who covered her mouth with her hands while laughing, trying her best not to laugh out loud. That was how the sound of crying came about.

　　Seeing Shen Ye looking at them with a dull expression on his face, Xuanjing Tian tried hard to hold back his laughter, and then said to Miaocheng Tian: "Sister, you see, I said that the son-in-law would not be so cruel. He must have been shy just now!"

　　"Your method is still the best."

　　Miaocheng Tian smiled and nodded, then he slipped into the room from under Shen Ye's arms that were holding the door open, and said, "Come in quickly, sister, don't let your son-in-law lock you out."

　　"Hey!" Xuanjing Tian responded and crawled under Shen Ye's other arm.

　　At this moment, Shen Ye came back to his senses and found that the two sisters had entered his room. He could only sigh in his heart, they were worthy of being the Nine Heavens Saint Lady of Huanyinfang, they were really good at acting.

　　Then he slammed the door shut.

　　Since I can't escape, I might as well enjoy it... he thought.

　　…

　　I don't know if it was because Ji Ruxue came back, but Lu Linxuan didn't come this morning. This made Shen Ye, who was enjoying the personal service of Miaocheng Tian and Xuanjing Tian, relax. He became bolder and began to direct the two sisters to massage his back.

　　The two sisters naturally followed the instructions of their new son-in-law. One knelt beside him and massaged his legs, while the other stood behind him and massaged his back, allowing him to experience the luxurious life of the ancient landlords.

　　Just when he was secretly happy, the door was suddenly pushed open and Ji Ruxue walked in from outside. The three people in the room were immediately startled, but after seeing clearly that it was Ji Ruxue, they all relaxed.

　　Looking at Shen Ye enjoying the massage service of the two saints, Ji Ruxue tried hard to maintain her facial expression and not let jealousy show. Then she said to Shen Ye: "Brother Shen, breakfast is ready. Do you want to go downstairs and eat together? Or should we have someone take you to your room?"

　　"No need, I'll go down by myself later... Two Holy Ladies, you go down with Xue'er first." Shen Ye said, waving to Miaocheng Tian and Xuanjing Tian.

　　Ji Ruxue also knew that it was impossible for him to dine with them, so she nodded, then left the room with Miaocheng Tian and Xuanjing Tian.

　　As soon as they left, Shen Ye let out a long sigh, and after sitting for a while, he went out.

　　When he went downstairs, he met Lu Linxuan who was waiting for him at the stairs. Seeing him coming out of the room alone, the girl's eyes lit up and she quickly ran to his side and hugged his arms.

　　"Brother Shen, let's go downstairs for breakfast."

　　Shen Ye hummed, but did not struggle to break free from Lu Linxuan's arm, which was deliberately pressed into the soft flesh of his chest, and went downstairs with her.

　　The small courtyard of the inn was already full of people. In addition to Li Xingyun and Zhang Zifan, there were four or five tables of passers-by. The rest were all people from Huanyinfang. This made the guests at those tables look at them sideways. After all, the disciples of Huanyinfang were all women, and few of them looked bad.

　　"Brother Shen, Junior Sister, here."

　　Seeing Shen Ye and Lu Linxuan coming down, Li Xingyun stood up and waved at them while shouting.

　　"snort!"

　　Just as the two of them walked over, they heard a cold snort. Shen Ye turned his head and saw that it was the empress who had changed back into men's clothes. At this moment, she was sitting with Ji Ruxue. They both stared at him with some jealousy.

　　Don't think that she kept telling Ji Ruxue to be more generous and not to be jealous in the morning, that was because Jiu Tian Sheng Ji was her own person and she could control her, but Lu Linxuan was not like that. She could control her own people but not Lu Linxuan, an outsider. Seeing the intimate posture of the two of them, she naturally couldn't help herself.

　　Being looked at like this by the two, Shen Ye felt somewhat embarrassed. He could only smile at them apologetically, and then followed Lu Linxuan to sit at the table with Li Xingyun and Zhang Zifan.

　　"Come on, Brother Shen, Junior Sister, have some porridge first. I ordered it especially for you."

　　As soon as Shen Ye and Lu Linxuan sat down, Li Xingyun diligently served them a bowl of porridge and looked at them with a cunning face.

　　Shen Ye scooped a mouthful with a spoon and tasted it. He felt that it tasted good. When he was nodding his head, he saw Lu Linxuan's face suddenly turned red after stirring the porridge with a spoon. She lowered her head and said weakly: "Senior brother, Brother Shen and I haven't got married yet!"

　　"It's just a matter of time." Li Xingyun said with a grin.

　　Shen Ye didn't understand why the two said that. He looked at them in confusion, then followed Lu Linxuan's example and stirred the porridge with a spoon. Then he took out red dates, lotus seeds, peanuts and longans from the bottom.

　　"So that's what's going on. May you have a baby soon." Shen Ye felt amused, but was not surprised by the appearance of peanuts. Although peanuts were introduced to the Central Plains in the late Ming Dynasty in history, the world of The Bad Guys is a fictional history. Let alone peanuts, many regions even grew tobacco, and mature artillery technology appeared in later years.

　　However, these are not worth going into further.

　　Shen Ye gently stirred the porridge in the bowl and said to Li Xingyun, "Brother Li is thoughtful."

　　"Hehe, I saw it when I was ordering food. It must have a meaning." Li Xingyun said with a smile.

　　"Yes, I do, but, as Xuan'er said, we haven't gotten married yet." For someone like Lu Linxuan, it would be a lie for Shen Ye to say that he didn't like her. Although her temper might be a little bad, that didn't matter. When you like someone, you don't have to care about their temper and personality. Moreover, as a member of the Appearance Association, Lu Linxuan's appearance alone was worth his effort.

　　"Then you should get married earlier. As your senior, I'm just waiting for that day." Li Xingyun said.

　　He had already noticed the looks around him. Even though everyone was hiding very deeply now, he could still see some differences from the many looks cast at him, especially from Miaocheng Tian and Xuanjing Tian among the Nine Heavens Saints. When the two girls looked at Shen Ye, Li Xingyun could sense through the air that their gazes were very hot. He said this out of consideration for his junior sister.

　　"Brother, why are you in such a hurry? Just like you said, it's a matter of time."

　　After listening to Li Xingyun's words, Lu Linxuan lowered her head shyly, but she also vaguely looked up at Ji Ruxue. There was no need for explanation, the meaning was very clear.

　　"This girl is very cunning."

　　The empress muttered something. Her power was far beyond that of the Greater Heaven Realm. She heard the conversation between the few people clearly. Similarly, she saw it very clearly. After hearing what Li Xingyun said, Lu Linxuan's face was full of shyness. She understood that her man had a mistress outside.

　　But, perhaps because she liked Lu Linxuan, or perhaps for some other reason, when she was angry, she only blamed Lu Linxuan.

　　"Xue'er, this girl is not as easy to deal with as you said." The empress looked at Ji Ruxue with a somewhat indignant tone.

　　When Ji Ruxue went back, she also talked to her about Lu Linxuan, but at that time Lu Linxuan acted like a little girl who knew nothing, so she didn't think too much about it. But now it seems that she had not been away for long before this girl, who she hit it off with at first sight and whom she treated as a sister, stole her home.

　　"It's very hidden."

　　Ji Ruxue looked embarrassed. She looked at Shen Ye, clenched her fists, and her lips turned white from biting them.

　　To be honest, her gaze was as sharp as a knife. Even though there were several tables between them, Shen Ye could feel it. Facing her cold gaze, he pretended to be calm and lowered his head to drink the porridge in big gulps.

　　But in Li Xingyun's opinion, his behavior was equivalent to responding to Lu Linxuan's words. He chuckled and said, "Brother Shen, don't be impatient. Take your time. We still need to inform our master about this matter."

　　Shen Ye almost choked to death because of Li Xingyun's words. He patted his chest hard, trying to slide the lotus seed stuck in his throat down. Seeing this, Lu Linxuan at the side quickly poured him a glass of water.

　　However, before he touched the cup of water that Lu Linxuan handed him, another cup appeared in front of him.

　　"Brother Shen, drink some water."

　　Ji Ruxue glanced at Lu Linxuan and said with concern.

　　Seeing Ji Ruxue coming over, Lu Linxuan's expression froze. After seeing Shen Ye take the cup of water that Ji Ruxue handed to him, she frowned slightly and said:

　　"Sister Xue'er, I can take care of Brother Shen."

　　"He even choked while drinking porridge. Is this how you take care of him?" Ji Ruxue said bluntly.

　　Lu Linxuan was stunned, and just when he didn't know what to say, Li Xingyun, who was concerned about the happiness of his junior sister, said, "Do you still want to chew the porridge into pieces and feed it to him?"

　　Unexpectedly, Ji Ruxue nodded vigorously, and said with an expression that it should be like this: "It's not impossible."

　　puff!

　　Hearing this, Shen Ye, who was drinking water in big gulps, spat out the water that he had not yet swallowed. He looked at Ji Ruxue in surprise, who blushed immediately after saying that.

　　Even modern people can't say this... he thought.

　　Li Xingyun was also surprised. He was stunned for a while and didn't react for a long time. Then he muttered quietly: "I want to find a wife like this in the future."

　　…
